Chapter X

Ding'anbo Mansion is still very big, so when Zhuang Jinyuan left for a while, Mama Zhang was late, and it was a loss that she didn't meet Zhuang Jinyuan in a hurry, otherwise Acacia would have to bother to explain.

"Don't worry, girl, Mama has been to see the old lady, and the old lady looks good and is not tired." Mama Zhang came over and washed the handkerchief and wiped her face for Acacia, and the tears that were originally dry on her face finally stopped picking up her face, and her skin was much fresher.

Acacia didn't bother to pay attention to the old lady, maybe she would ask a few more words at this age in her previous life, but in this life, she even threw her mother aside. As for the eldest sister, now she is either at the old lady's place or by the eldest aunt and pretending to be virtuous.

Unrelated people, Acacia didn't mention a word, but asked: "Do you know that Cousin Tong still has a pity cousin, and they are back now?" ”

Mama Zhang didn't care, but said, "The old slave was just waiting in the ear room next to the mourning hall, and I didn't see the two girls. ”

After thinking about it, she got down from the couch and asked Mama Zhang to straighten her clothes, and then whispered, "Mama will send me to the mourning hall." ”

"Girl, ...... you are"

"Today should have been our crying spirit, now the old lady is not in the mourning hall, my mother is sick again, I was just taken out by the eldest brother when I saw the eldest brother with the third sister also sneaked away, there are only sisters in the big room on this mourning hall, if they come out, but I haven't heard movement for so long, I'm afraid I'm still kneeling." Acacia took the handkerchief and stuffed it, and was about to go out the door.

Mama Zhang understood as soon as she heard it, even if she was supported by her own lord on such a day, it was too unpleasant to talk in the mourning hall, so that her own girl took the initiative to go over, which not only made the big house look better, but also seemed to be sensible.

Thinking of this, Mama Zhang didn't persuade her, but secretly congratulated that the girl she brought up had finally grown up, and fortunately she was not like her mother, let alone the other elders in the second room of the Meng family.

went out and said hello to the little girl guarding the door, and Acacia didn't let Mama Zhang hold her, and insisted on returning to the mourning hall with her tired and weak legs. Sure enough, there were only people in the big house in the mourning hall, and in addition to Meng Xintong and the sisters, there was also Meng Duanfang, the second son of the big house.

Meng Duanfang should have sent Guan out and turned back, he saw someone coming in, he couldn't help but raise his head, goodbye is lovesickness, he turned his head and snorted slightly.

It would be strange if Acacia didn't see it, and she didn't want to see her.

However, she did not respond, but carefully walked to the corner behind and knelt down honestly.

"It's going to be loaded!" Meng Duanfang's voice was not loud, but the children in the mourning hall could hear it.

"Duanfang, I'll sue SΓΉ Huo Ran for this." Meng Xintong knelt in front of Meng Duanfang and said lightly.

Meng Duanfang's body shook, crawled over on his legs, and said with a sad face: "Sister, my good sister, don't tell Brother SΓΉ, otherwise...... Otherwise, it's copying books again, and my hands will be wasted. ”

"Since the founding of the Great Chen Kingdom, I have never heard of a person who copied a book and copied it to the point of scrapping, rest assured, you will not be the first." Meng Xintong sneered and said mercilessly.

Meng Chenxi couldn't help but cover his mouth with a handkerchief and secretly laughed, who knew that there was something on the handkerchief, and the tears in his eyes fell down at once, but the corners of his mouth were still upturned, he was really crying or laughing, and his face was red for a while, so he was really wronged, and he cried loudly.

Meng Xintong didn't say anything, took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, and carefully wiped his sister's tears and red eyes. Meng Duanfang didn't dare to be naughty, glanced at his sister worriedly, and then honestly retracted back to his original position, kneeling obediently and motionless.

Acacia hung his head slightly, and kept looking at it with his spare eyes, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

In her last life, she has always heard that the uncle's family of four brothers and sisters, no concubine, each other has a very good relationship, that is, after they become a family, they also come and go frequently, in the circle of Kyoto official eunuchs and daughters, some people envy to say, and because she is a relative of the big house, the family is a mess, so it is often compared with the women of the big house by those women with broken mouths.

Most of them talk about the importance of marrying a wife, her grandfather did not marry well, her father and daughter-in-law did not marry well, it is their turn to be a generation, whether the girls are born or concubines, they are also harming other people's families, especially her, not only relying on the dowry to spoil the mother-in-law, but also pressing her husband, abusing the concubine, and finally letting her husband be covered with green clouds, so that he died young.

They have never had a good person in the second room of the Meng family.

"The hour is almost up, and the master has calculated the time and is ready to carry it up the mountain."

The deep voice made Acacia pull back her thoughts sharply, she straightened her back, and her legs, which were already numb, were merged in.

"Huh? What about Gao Peng? ”

Acacia rarely heard tiredness in his father's voice.

"I didn't see it just now, I should be tired, go out and rest for a while." Meng Duanfang was a bit of a bear among the children, but he never dared to lose his face in front of the elders.

Meng Erye frowned, swept the mourning hall, and found that the old lady, daughter-in-law, eldest daughter, eldest son and even concubine were not there, and his face was hot, so he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, but fortunately, he later found that the second daughter was hiding in the corner and kneeling, which saved some face and made him talk to Acacia so gently for the first time.

"The second sister has been kneeling here? Have you seen your eldest brother? However, after saying this, Second Master Meng regretted it, when he was in Yanzhou, his second daughter hated the concubine in the family the most, especially Meng Gaopeng, and the two did not quarrel when they met.

But to his surprise, Acacia raised his head obediently and whispered: "The eldest brother went out with the third sister, presumably because his body couldn't stand it anymore, so he went out to rest." ”

Second Master Meng twisted his beard very satisfied, but he was afraid that his daughter would say too much and make a mistake, so he hurriedly said to her: "Is the person who is serving around you here?" The time for the funeral is coming, and your girl's house will be sent to the second door. ”

Whether it is a family or a commoner, the last thing left in the woman's family is only a surname in the ancestral hall of the in-law's family, not to mention this kind of thing of breaking pots and flags, which is done by filial sons and grandsons, and the daughter's family can only be sent to the second gate no matter how close she is, and she doesn't even have to go up the mountain.

According to the saying in Kyoto, not only sons and grandsons should wear linen and filial piety, but even sons and nephews should follow together to break pots and flags, in order to show that the family is prosperous and not afraid of no incense in the future.

Meng Erye only said a few words to his daughter and hurriedly ran out, and as soon as he went out, his face collapsed, the hour is the most important, if Meng Gaopeng can't find it when the old man goes out, then don't say what his cousin thinks, even these relatives and friends who came will definitely count him behind his backs in the future.

For the first time, Second Master Meng began to doubt the upbringing of the old lady and Aunt Mei, he is such an only son, who knows if he will be born in the future, if this is really crooked, wouldn't he be laughed at for a lifetime.

Uncle Meng watched his cousin run out, but he didn't stop him, he turned his head and found the housekeeper to come over and let the girl look for someone.

"You will follow your lobby sister, and your aunt will come over in a while." Uncle Meng said dryly to Acacia.

Uncle Meng is usually a person who doesn't like to talk much, Meng Xintong's temperament is like enough for him, but his heart is like a mirror, what kind of person is his cousin's family, what kind of temper, he has already felt it thoroughly, if it weren't for the customs of Kyoto, let the two families live on face, this time Sanqi funeral will definitely not go to the second room, so after greeting the people in front of him, after sending away those who came to mourn, he never thought that he could see the people in the second room in the mourning hall at the back.

Lovesickness really surprised him......

Acacia will not go on the pole and stutter, she quietly rubbed her knees, and stood quietly on the side waiting for Mama Meng to come in, and she listened honestly when the uncle said this, at least now the uncle knows that there is still her number one who seems to be reliable in the second room.

Uncle Meng still has a lot of things to do, the old monk who chanted the scriptures in front of him has to take care of it, and how to carry the old man's coffin, even if it was repeatedly finalized some time ago, at this time, he didn't dare to let go of his breath when he came to the front, for fear that something would go wrong.

Duan Fang saw that his father was leaving, and as the second grandson, he definitely couldn't stay, and he had to follow the coffin up the mountain. It's just that he walked in front of Acacia before leaving, lowered his voice and said viciously: "Who is your family, I have seen it clearly, don't try to lie to my sisters, go back to your second room as soon as possible, save your eyes!" ”

Acacia slowly raised his head, and his black eyes stared at him with dead silence......

There are white flags everywhere in the mourning hall, although the coffin is in the front yard for people to mourn, but the small mourning hall for the female relatives at the back is still swishing in the wind, making the people inside extremely uncomfortable.

Meng Duanfang swallowed his saliva, it was really that the expression of lovesickness was too scary, this girl was already white, with black bangs, white velvet flowers, and Su Xiao, plus empty eyes, red lips...... It's still daytime, if it's dark night, Meng Duanfang feels that he may be scared out of trouble by her.

"You...... Don't think that's going to scare me! I'm a man, with a fire on my head, and I'm ...... I'm not afraid of anything! Meng Duanfang said a few words, but his steps couldn't help but shrink back.

Acacia still looked at him like that, and then slowly showed a smile for unknown reasons.

Meng Duanfang snorted, and before Meng Xintong and Meng Chenxi could react, this guy was already eager to grow eight legs and run, and this escape was like being chased by a ghost.

"What did he say?" Meng Xintong asked.

Acacia turned his face and said a little sadly: "The second cousin said, let me go back to the second room." ”

Meng Xintongzai looked at the acacia carefully, and said a little less alienated: "Let's sit next to each other for a while." ”
