Chapter 185
Acacia got up from the bed, suddenly felt a little lonely, touched the cold bed on her side and laughed silently, so many years of habit have made her agree that half of the bed is asleep in Mo Li, even more profound than in her previous life, so it was just one night Mo Li couldn't go home when she had something to do, and she began to get used to it.
Pomegranate is not there, the house is full of Meng Qizhen's subordinates prepared for her, these subordinates were originally from the Tianzong Sect, some of them are martial arts and some are just family members, Acacia is not too embarrassed to trouble others, so many things are done by themselves.
"It's only been a day, and you're starting to worry?" Meng Qizhen combed the young woman's hair in a bun and walked in jokingly: "You got up really early today." β
Acacia was not afraid of her jokes, but said: "Of course it's not as good as someone, sticky all day long." β
Meng Qizhen's cheeks were slightly red, and she said angrily: "There is a time when you get married!" β
"Brother-in-law went out? You didn't come along? Not worried? Acacia pulled back a city, looked at her and smiled.
Meng Qizhen mentioned this and said with some unhappiness: "Who knows what he is busy with all day, it is all some things on the rivers and lakes, and it is better for our women's family not to participate." β
The Tianzong Sect also has people in Yanzhou, Ye Mingche, as a young master, always has to appease the people who can't return to the sect for a long time, these people are mixed in the three sects and nine streams, and Meng Qizhen is a woman from a family, Ye Mingche naturally doesn't want Meng Qizhen to see this.
"Anyway, he doesn't restrict you from riding a horse and archery, let alone practicing martial arts when you go out, you are much better than the women in Kyoto." Acacia comforted.
Meng Qizhen really showed joy and said: "This is true, Sensei said Kyoto, even the women here in Yanzhou rarely go out, fortunately, I married into the Jianghu family, the children of the rivers and lakes come and go, who still fancies those constraints, always have to learn from the men to eat meat and drink wine, women are too twisted like what." β
Acacia responded again and again, although Meng Qizhen was a little too proud when she said this, but she had to admit that what Meng Qizhen said made sense, the women in the powerful families were basically confined in the backyard, and the things they learned were all for the purpose of managing the backyard to assist their husbands in the future, but the women on the rivers and lakes were much freer, they were only less than martial arts, and they got married when they saw it.
Although there are also restrictions on women in the rivers and lakes, compared to those women in the backyard who are powerless, they are already very free.
"In Kyoto, my mother didn't let me do this, and I wasn't allowed to do that, but now no one cares about it at my husband's house, and people still think I'm too restrained." Meng Qizhen pouted and said: "It's just that some women in the rivers and lakes are too outgoing, and even some are shameless." β
As soon as Acacia heard this, she knew that there was probably a woman in the rivers and lakes who took a fancy to Ye Mingche, and it was estimated that her confession was a little straightforward, so that Meng Qizhen, who was in the family, was not very adaptable.
"Brother-in-law is wholeheartedly devoted to you, you can't have a gap with your brother-in-law for the sake of others." Acacia has been accustomed to seeing the means of those women in the backyard for two lifetimes, and the children of the rivers and lakes are so direct that they are already the lowest means.
"I don't, my mother can talk to me a lot before I get married." Meng Qizhen was happy at first, and then darkened and said, "I don't know what happened to my grandfather?" β
"Brother Boliang went back quietly at that time, and naturally had a response, although it was said that he was trying to survive, but in the end, Cheng Pingbo's mansion only lost some money, as well as his official position, and it was already a great luck in misfortune that people could leave without any trouble." Kyoto has been blocking the news, and the matter in the fourth uncle's mansion was also after they escaped from Kyoto, and they sent a message to Mo Li, thanks to their kindness on weekdays, and they have some friendship with the Praetorian Guards in Kyoto, if the prime minister does not have a good prince to ascend the throne, he can't do everything for the time being, so Cheng Pingbo can take advantage of the prime minister's reaction before he can quickly find someone to leave Kyoto.
"I know this, but they don't want me to worry, and they mostly write to me to report good news and not bad news, no matter how stupid I am, I know that it is always a lot of hard work for them to leave Kyoto and hide in Tibet." Meng Qizhen originally wanted to get the Chengping Bofu family back to the Tianzong Sect, but she was not the naΓ―ve she was, she just gave up after a little thought, even if Ye Mingche said that she didn't agree, she was already married to the Ye family, and sending some silver on weekdays was already a sign of filial piety, but there are so many people in Chengpingbo's Mansion, no matter how she gets along with Tianzong, Chengpingbo's Mansion will be inferior, and her uncles are not fuel-efficient lamps, she really doesn't want to be caught between herself and her husband It is difficult to do it.
Acacia is similar to what Meng Qizhen thought, her grandfather's family and uncle's family are far away in the border city, how these people live and whether they will experience the siege of the Hu people, they will not tell her, she has no other way than to send some things over on weekdays.
"Hey! It's a great blessing that we're still alive on the left and right of this world-shattering way. Meng Qizhen cheered herself up and said, "There will be a day when we meet." β
Acacia took Meng Qizhen's hand, nodded and said, "My original family's old house is in Yanzhou, if Sister Qizhen is fine, why don't we go and take a look?" β
Meng Qizhen immediately turned around and pulled Acacia and walked out: "Then you must go and see it." β
They are all girls from the Meng family, and the Ding'an Bo Mansion used to rely on climbing to the Chengping Bo Mansion to recognize the same clan, so that they could slowly get to today, but Acacia is clear, if they are at most the same townspeople and have no similar blood relationship. But Yanzhou is the birthplace of the Meng family, and it is a big city that is rare to have no chaos at this time, and it is better to go out for a stroll than to be bored at home and think nonsense.
The two women got into the carriage and brought a few female guards with special skills, and then they ran all the way towards the ancestral house of the second room of the Meng family.
Acacia sat in the carriage, trying to recall the experiences of his previous life before he was nine years old, some places were still vaguely recognizable, and some had long been forgotten in the depths of his memory. She and Meng Ruoyao have always been unfavored, and her mother is useless, so even if she is lovesick in two lifetimes, she can still remember the plum blossom cake that her father bought for her when she first went to the street with her father.
It's just that once again someone bought a few pieces of plum blossom cake from the street and got on the bus, but Acacia couldn't taste the taste of the past, and she didn't know if it was because her father gave her a rare little affection back then to beautify the taste of plum blossom cake, or the one they had eaten now disappeared.
Fortunately, Meng Qizhen ate very deliciously, and specially asked people to buy a few more copies to bring to Ye Mingche.
Seeing this, Acacia also wrapped a few pieces by the way to prepare for Mo Li, no matter what, this is the rarest memory she has in Yanzhou.
The two-bedroom mansion of the Meng family is actually not big, but it is not bad compared to the mansions of other families in Yanzhou, the second master of the Meng family is not far from the place where he is an official, so he did not buy a house in the county at the beginning, and their sisters also live in the old mansion in Yanzhou with their mother. I heard that this is still the house bought by the lovesick grandfather, and many years have passed in such a flash.
stepped forward and knocked on the door, Acacia was still a little hesitant, but as the sound of the next person knocking on the door became louder and louder, she also made up her mind, no matter what, she was also the daughter of the Meng family.
It's just that no matter how much you knock, the people inside are as if they are deaf, and no one comes to open the door, and in desperation, a swallow next to Meng Qizhen jumped into the courtyard and opened the door from the inside.
Acacia frowned as soon as she entered the door.
"This is a catastrophe, isn't it?" Meng Qizhen stood behind her and smacked her tongue: "Look at the chaos here." β
Acacia walked a few quick steps into the yard, and the garden that was supposed to be repaired and leveled was now yellow and overgrown with weeds, apparently no one had taken care of it for a while.
Meng Qizhen hurriedly beckoned people to search for them everywhere in the house, but there was no one in each house, and there was not even a little popularity.
"It seems that everything in the house has been emptied." Meng Qizhen walked up to Acacia in disbelief and said.
Acacia herself has seen that this place that carries those beautiful memories of her childhood is like a haunted house at this moment, desolate and sad.
"These gang of people who killed a thousand knives must have seen that you haven't been back for a long time, so they stole the things of the master's house and ran away!" Meng Qizhen said angrily.
Acacia was not angry, there was a master like an old lady, and there were a few good servants below, she just walked slowly in the direction she remembered to the house where she lived as a child. Memories are like redrawn ink paintings, which suddenly become vivid, where she used to fight with Meng Ruoyao, where she once threw stones at Aunt Mei, and where her mother slapped her when she was in a bad mood.
It seems that they are not too good memories, but Acacia still touched those old things, and her heart was stunned, this is the place where she lived for nine years in her previous life, she was born here, grew up here, and enjoyed very little family affection, but she wanted to bear her mother's qiΔ, at that time she was still a little girl who was full of thorns and exploded, fierce and innocent and foolish, so ridiculous that she felt pitiful.
Standing at the door of her room, Acacia suddenly didn't want to go in, the furniture inside was still intact, when they went to Kyoto, Acacia took all her things away, she thought there would be a better future, but she didn't expect that no matter where she changed, there was no fate without fate.
The room inside seemed to be full of her childhood figures.
She suddenly regretted a little, she shouldn't have brought Meng Qizhen here, but should have waited for Mo Liang to be free, and they came over together, she still remembered that Mo Liang had mentioned it in her previous life, and wanted to see the place where she lived when she was a child, because only in such a place would there be that ruthless little sister-in-law.
"Acacia...... Why don't we report to the police. Meng Qizhen looked at her worriedly.
"No, it's not my family anymore, so why should I bother?" Acacia shook his head and said, Second Master Meng is now thriving in Kyoto, where will he remember the ancestral house in Yanzhou, not to mention these subordinates, if she does something, I am afraid that people will complain if they don't appreciate it.
Meng Qizhen stretched out her hand to pull Acacia, and pretended to be relaxed: "It's all a broken house, what's the show, let's go to the street to buy some local snacks, ignore the stinky men who don't go home, let's have a good drink." β
Acacia sneered, she had no feelings in her heart, and she said with rare pride: "That's it, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" β
The two sisters walked out of the Meng house hand in hand, and even when the door was closed at the end, Acacia did not look back.
Time has changed for a while, and she can no longer keep her once small figure, so it's okay if she doesn't come to see it. She won't be coming back in the future.
After buying a lot of things, Acacia and Meng Qizhen returned to the door of Yefu while talking, but as soon as the two of them were about to get off the carriage, they were stunned on the spot, and the two people who should not have appeared in Yanzhou were looking at her with tears and a smile at this time.
"Auntie? Big sister? Acacia threw the thing in his hand to the girl, and ran over with his skirt, Meng Qizhen followed closely and screamed very loudly.
He held Acacia in his arms, hugged him and couldn't let go for the rest of his life, until Mo Liang came over and whispered a few words, Meng Xintong pulled his mother away, and the group was able to walk into the door.
"Why are they here?" Acacia took advantage of Meng Qizhen's conversation with He, and carefully took a step behind and grabbed Mo Li's sleeve and said, "Aren't you in trouble today?" β
Mo Liang brushed the hair on the side of Acacia's mouth and said with a smile: "Isn't this the right thing?" A month earlier, I went to the letter, where can I really let your Ji Lu and the wedding, without the participation of my mother's family? β
"You are really ......" Acacia originally wanted to say a few touching words, but her eyes suddenly widened and said, "The second brother seems to have gone out of the city a few days ago?" β
Mo Liang tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I hope he can come back." β
Dare to say that he is not sincere about lovesickness? He let Meng Duanfang see them marry as soon as he came back!
