Chapter 125
Firecrackers rang out, surrounded by red silk, Ding'anbo Mansion finally ushered in the day of the eldest girl's marriage, all relatives and friends who were good with Ding'anbo Mansion or the eldest girl, came to congratulate them, which made the Ding'anbo Mansion that had been deserted for a long time become lively, especially the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, which had not been in contact for many years, this time the unprecedented congratulatory gift was sent to many people to discuss it privately, which was afraid that there was also the reason for the three girls who entered the palace.
Not everyone can see the deep meaning of the matter, at least most people think that the queen mother recruited the three girls into the palace, which is intended to ease the atmosphere of the royalist and prime minister, and even has the idea of letting the emperor take a concubine. Who doesn't look forward to such a good thing.
And this time, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion came to the door to send a congratulatory gift, which is completely sober afterwards, and it has even softened a little, and even has the meaning of befriending Ding'an Bofu, just wait for the three girls to enter the harem, can they forget the grandfather?
A marriage, even if it is lively, has become the best place for people in the court to listen to the news.
"From now on, I won't be able to see my big sister often." Acacia took Meng Xintong's hand and said with moist eyes.
Meng Xintong was wearing a red wedding dress, as if he had faded away from the coldness of the past, and reluctantly clenched his acacia hand and said: "If you miss me, come to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, or send a letter, I can come out to see you, you can't know me when I get married." ”
"That's true, it's just that you are married at a different home, so you can't always go out, otherwise even if your mother-in-law gets along well, you will always have to gossip, not to mention that there is more than one of you in the Zhenguo General's Mansion." Acacia is a person who has come over, and no matter how confused he was in his previous life, he could understand some things, so he couldn't help but persuade.
Meng Xintong nodded her nose and smiled: "It's old-fashioned, it's your aunt who said it!" ”
"The eldest sister is really getting married, and she will make fun of me." Acacia turned his face away and said to the sullen Meng Chen: "Now only the fifth sister hurts me." ”
"I cherish you, who will cherish me!" Unexpectedly, Meng Chen, who has always been the softest, pouted and held back tears: "The eldest sister is going out today, and it won't be common in the future, even if the third sister doesn't get married, she can't live in the house for the time being, and I'm the only one left in this family." ”
Meng Xintong and Acacia couldn't laugh.
"Are you going to live in the old marquis's courtyard?" Meng Xintong asked in a low voice.
Acacia responded: "I'm afraid that staying here will cause trouble for the family, after all, the queen mother didn't speak, I should stay in the palace, but the emperor has already opened his mouth, this mother and son are screwed for a day, and I will not show up for a day, otherwise, no one will be happy." ”
"You can't hide for the rest of your life! But that's fine, it's better to hide outside than in the palace. Meng Xintong said very seriously: "Everyone else said that you are going to the palace to be a mother, but I know that you won't, and you don't want to, so good, even if you marry farther in the future, it is better than participating in the harem." There was a lot of commotion in the backyard of ordinary people's homes, let alone that place...... Driving madness is common. ”
Acacia trance remembered that Tian Meiren, if you are not crazy, you will be crazy.
"Don't care what you say outside...... Meng Xintong said again: "Life is all lived by yourself, as for the cousins of the He family, you still don't have to interact in the future." ”
"I already felt that He Shuyao was not very kind to me." Acacia said indifferently: "She feels that a person is good, and she feels that everyone should like this person, and it is indeed better for such a person to have less contact." ”
"She's already crazy, let's say you're going to enter the palace this circle, I think it's what she started to say, now that I'm married, I won't have more contact with her, but it's just a superficial effort for my mother's face." Meng Xintong sighed: "Obviously, they were still playing together when they were children, and it was good to look at it, but as soon as people turned around, they all changed." ”
"The human heart is inherently fickle." Acacia and these people are all general friends, how do they have anything to do with her?
"I'm relieved to see you like this." Meng Xintong got up and grabbed his little sister again, touched her head and said: "My own sisters, the three of us are the best, and we will be the only ones who support each other in the future, even if I get married, I will also be your sister." ”
Meng Chenxi opened the floodgates like tears, and he couldn't stop crying.
The people outside shouted that the auspicious time had arrived, He walked in with red eyes, Acacia watched Meng Xintong cover her head and be helped out of the house, she didn't dare to go out to attract attention, she could only lie on the window and watch Meng Xintong leave the small courtyard where she had lived for many years step by step.
"Are you sad?"
Acacia has become accustomed to this person's elusiveness, and her eyes have been looking into the distance and have not left.
"It's not sad, it's just to live a better life, why be sad."
"But you're in tears." Mo Li took out a handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped her tears.
Acacia blinked and looked at the person in front of her, Song Jiali was married, Meng Xintong was also married, and the people around her came and went, but it seemed that no matter where she was, he would always be by her side.
A kind of love called peace of mind spread in the chest, to the point that tears were wanton, and I wanted to bury myself in the arms of this person.
Mo Liang seemed to feel it, quietly closed the window, and hugged the crying girl in his arms.
After Meng Xintong got married, Acacia did not leave immediately, but returned to the two-room courtyard where he lived when he first came to Kyoto.
"Girl? The girl is back! ”
As soon as Acacia entered the house, he met Mama Zhang, who came back to clean, Mama was very old, and she stayed in the Hou Mansion since she entered the palace, and she occasionally came back to listen to her news this time.
"I was going to my grandmother's, but I didn't expect to meet my grandmother here." Acacia was overjoyed, holding Mama Zhang's arm and smiling.
"The old slave just came back to see if there was any news from the girl, and the girl has already returned, which is really a great joy." Mama Zhang wiped her eyes and said excitedly: "The old lady has been talking about the girl, and her body is not very good, last time I almost got out of bed to enter the palace to be an important person, and the old marquis was so shocked that he stayed for two nights." ”
Lovesick was uncomfortable, so he could only say: "I'm going to the Houfu Courtyard today, but don't let my grandmother be sad again." ”
"The girl is alone? What about pomegranates? Mama Zhang looked behind her for a long time and asked.
Acacia smiled and said: "The night I came back, Pomegranate went to the other courtyard, the two of us were too eye-catching, it would be bad if people saw it." ”
"That's that!" Mama Zhang took out a letter from her arms and said: "This is a letter sent by the master from Jianghuai, the old slave came over today, and Aunt Xue specially gave it to the old slave, I am afraid that she will not be able to find you when the girl comes back." ”
Acacia took the letter, although he didn't have much hope, but he still opened it and read it. After that, he threw it into the stove next to him with a sneer.
"Girl?"
"It's just that I feel that I have entered the palace, if I go home and read this letter, remember to serve the queen mother well, serve the emperor well, if I stay in the palace directly for the rest of my life, then don't forget their nurturing grace, don't forget how he loves me as a father." Acacia had expected it, but although it was not sad, it felt that this family was really shameless and ridiculous.
"Hey...... This is not what an old slave should say, but the girl is an old slave and has grown up. Mama Zhang watched the letter being engulfed in flames, and said coldly: "Compared with the lord and wife, the uncle and the eldest lady are sincere to the girl."
"That's what it is." Acacia looked at Mama Zhang and said, "There are many people who are good to me, why don't you feel uncomfortable not taking me to heart?" ”
"However, the old slave heard Aunt Xue say that the eldest girl in our second room wants to come back." Mama Zhang said reluctantly.
"Meng Ruoyao?" Acacia laughed and said: "Could it be that Aunt Jiu is thinking about changing the battlefield in Jianghuai?" Or does she think that I can enter the palace without a father, and it must be my uncle's strength? ”
Mama Zhang shook her head and said nothing.
"If she wants to come back and wade into this troubled water, let her wade well, and I won't stop her." Acacia said and approached Mama Zhang and said: "When it comes to you and Tangzhi, I am extremely worried, in a few days you will go to cousin Pomegranate with your deed of sale, I see that something big is going to happen." ”
"Girl!" Mama Zhang's voice has changed.
"Don't be afraid, I have my grandfather to protect me, and it will be fine, I'm just worried that my father will use you and tangled branches to blackmail me to do things I don't want to do, you go out early and help take a look at my property, in case there is something, I have something to rely on."
Mama Zhang thought about it and said fiercely: "Okay! As long as the girl said it, the old slave could do it. ”
"That's good, I'll go back to the other courtyard first." Acacia let go and turned to leave.
"However, if there is a case, Aunt Xue and they ......"
Acacia didn't reply: "As long as my father is still here, they will be fine." ”
Waiting for Acacia to leave, Mama Zhang didn't think clearly about the reason, but she still took away everything she could take away from the second room, just in case of emergency, she didn't know that Acacia had long been unable to look down on the second room.
When Meng Xintong returned to the door, Acacia didn't come back, but I heard that Meng Xintong had a good life in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and the Zhenguo General even had the intention of separating the family because the two sons-in-law were married, they were both royal clans, and they were all descendants of the Li family.
The court was still noisy, but soon the emperor investigated and dealt with the officials recommended by the previous prime minister to go to Huainan to govern the river with lightning speed, whether it was greedy ink and bribery, or reckless disregard for human life, and even the crime of murdering the court officials, all the same, even if it was only put on paper, people were numb.
Seeing this, the royalists took advantage of the victory to pursue, and many places that had been difficult to govern for many years were turned over, and many officials who relied on the prime minister's authority were arrested, and the vegetable market was full of blood for many days. Everyone thought that as long as the emperor was powerful, even the prime minister would avoid his edge, and I was afraid that he would run out of energy when he looked like that.
However, no one noticed that at this time, a caravan of the Hu people mixed in the crowd and entered Kyoto.
