Chapter Fifty-Nine: Meng Lang
After speaking, Xun Zhan looked at Rong Wan, looked her up and down, and said, "I heard that you studied under Luo Fu, and read poetry and books, you must know how to read and reason, but you are a little better than the ladies of Nishang Pavilion." β
This is the second time he compares her with the geisha in the Nishang Pavilion, which makes her angry, it's not that she looks down on those geisha, it's just that no lady likes to compare with a geisha.
Although her family is in the middle of the road, she has not fallen to such a point.
She took two steps back, lowered her head and said, "Awan is just a woman, and she can't tolerate such praise from Uncle Guo." The word praise is really heavy, and her dissatisfaction is squandered vividly.
A person like Xun Zhan who walks in the court is the most observant of words and feelings, and what she just said must have understood what he meant.
Unexpectedly, Xun Zhan turned around and turned his back to her and said, "If you don't want to always compare with those geisha, then show your own skills!" With that, the man strode forward.
Rong Wan was stunned, looked at the disappearing back, pursed her mouth, and snorted softly, I want you to take care of it.
Firefly walked up to her silently and said weakly, "Lady, Uncle Guo is gone." β
She glanced at Firefly Green, and saw Firefly with her head down, her shoulders clamped as if she was afraid, and she couldn't help but feel bored, "Uncle Fang Cai is here, what are you doing hiding so quickly?" β
As soon as this sentence came out, Yinglu was about to cry, and said with a crying tone, "Lady, Uncle Fang Caiguo glanced at the servant, and the servant was cold all over his body, how dare the servant say more than half a sentence?" β
She could only shake her head, how could Xun Zhan be so terrifying, most of it was just to scare herself.
She completely forgot that she was still a beautiful girl, but Firefly Green was just a maid like an ant, and it was just a blink of an eye to pinch her to death.
Rong Wan got into the carriage and asked Feng Boduo to go around the east and west two squares and the market, and only returned home when it was getting late.
I just arrived at Cuizhuyuan, but I heard Bai Yao say that Meng Sheng had come today, and when he saw that she was not there, he said that he would come back tomorrow.
Sure enough, on the second day, just after noon, Meng Sheng came to the door.
"Why does Meng Jialangjun keep looking at Awan?" Since Meng Sheng came to the door, he has repeatedly looked at her, and she had no choice but to ask.
Meng Sheng frowned inadvertently, paused, and then said, "I learned today that you were almost slighted yesterday, so I came to see you." β
Rong Wan was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect this matter to spread so quickly, and it actually reached Meng Sheng's ears, but when she thought that the two now had a marriage contract, Meng Sheng's face would inevitably be gloomy when such a thing happened, so she had to explain, "But there is such a thing, but I just said a few words to the cousin of Qi Mansion on the street, and it was not so serious that I was taken lightly." β
Saying that, Rong Wan's face was a little ugly, she knew that there would be an impact yesterday, but she didn't know that the impact would come so quickly, and she put herself here like this, I am afraid that Meng Sheng will be unhappy.
I was about to say a few more words, but I heard Meng Sheng look at her deeply, and sighed slightly, "What kind of person does Awan think I am?" I'm just here to comfort you. β
This string of words implied the bitterness of being misunderstood, so that Rong Wan didn't know what to say, and the hall fell silent for a while.
After being silent for a while, Meng Sheng returned to his usual calm breeze, "An incident happened in the court today. β
Rong Wan looked at Meng Sheng, he had not easily mentioned this matter in the court, why did he mention it today? Could it be that this matter has something to do with him?
However, according to Meng Shengyi, this matter was actually related to her.
It was originally the time of today's court meeting, the son of Qi's concubine was impeached by several imperial historians, relying on the Yongle Hou Mansion, bullying the women of the good family, in view of the Yongle Hou's official position is quite high, no one dares to provoke a matter, which caused His Majesty to be angry, Yongle Hou asked to arrest Qi Renrui in order to clear himself, and His Majesty naturally approved.
It's just that when Yongle waited for Nanfang to arrest Qi Renrui, Qi Renrui shouted that he was wronged, pointing out that it was Qi Yanran, the second daughter of the Yongle Hou Mansion, who instigated it, and there were many onlookers at that time, so the matter spread.
And when His Majesty learned about it, he was furious on the spot, Qi Yanran called out that she was wronged, and she was already the future princess, the prince comforted her, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Your Majesty turned the big thing into a small one, and threw Qi Renrui to Dali Temple to wait for the verdict.
It's just that this matter has already been rumored, whether it is true or not, Qi Yanran's name has been ruined.
After hearing this, Rong Wan was very happy in her heart, although it was not that she took action to treat others in the way of others, but it was very relieving to spread Qi Yanran's notoriety far and wide.
It's just that Qi Renrui has been in chaos for a long time, and now he has been impeached, which is a coincidence.
Meng Sheng saw that Rong Wan was distracted, he didn't say much, just looked at her quietly, and when she came back to her senses, she felt that her hand was covered with a hand, and her fingertips touched lightly, but in this summer, she felt slightly cold.
She only felt that her face turned red, and she was about to take her hand away, but Meng Sheng held her hand and said softly, "Awan, I will be your husband." β
She lowered her head, slightly flustered in her heart, "Awan knows." β
"From today onwards, can you stop calling me Meng Jialangjun?" Meng Sheng continued.
Rong Wan was stunned, it must be that he felt unfamiliar with such a name, as his fiancΓ©e, when the family was ruined, she should rely on him, she closed her eyes slightly, and said softly, "Meng Lang." β
In her previous life, she called him the same.
Even if they had known each other for two years at that time, she had been calling him Meng Jialangjun until the moment she agreed to marry him, and then called him Meng Lang, but the good times did not last long, but in two months, he was shot by someone when he was worshipping in the church, and an arrow pierced his heart to death.
After he left, she was really alone, and sometimes in the dead of night she would wonder if she had any love for him, but she thought about it in the end, but she died without a problem.
At this time, she could feel Meng Sheng's hands trembling slightly, but the palms of her hands were a little sweaty, and her heart was suddenly touched, the person in front of her had silently guarded herself for two years and had never forced her, so in this life, did she have to cherish him?
"Awan, I will never let you down in my life." After a quarter of an hour, I listened to Meng Shengdao.
Rong Wan kept her head down and answered, "I know." β
Meng Sheng never let go of her hand, he kept holding it like this, and Rong Wan didn't pull it away.
"My uncle once tested my knowledge in the house, and I knew that my uncle was satisfied with me, but I didn't come to propose marriage after I went back." Meng Sheng spoke.
Rong Wan was stunned, she didn't know why Meng Sheng suddenly said this, but she didn't interrupt and still listened to him continue.
"At that time, I was still a white cloth, but my uncle was already in the third official residence, I knew that my uncle intended to hand you over to me, but how can a white cloth compare with the status of today's champion Lang?"
"Since then, I have worked harder, just hoping for the title of the gold list, I can ask to marry you, but who knows, my uncle actually happened to such a thing. Awan, after three years of filial piety, I will definitely marry you. β
Although these words were bland, they were more than sincere, Rong Wan paused, but raised her head and looked at Meng Sheng seriously, "Meng Lang, I'll wait for you." β
