Chapter Seventy-Four: Night Talk

Changting was silent and raised his head slightly.

But seeing the silence in the night, the young man's eyes were silent, but there was a faint red on his cheeks, his expression was no different from usual, but his eyes were different from usual, he couldn't tell what it felt, he usually looked like a wild wolf waiting for an opportunity, but now his eyes were reflected deeply, some like the still fluctuating living water in the dark river.

Is he drunk?

Some people seem to pour it when they are drunk, but they can be expanded

He obviously looks like the kind of tough guy who can't pour a thousand cups.

Changting laughed, and then looked at the crumpled deed of sale that Meng Tuo held in his hand.

I'm going to enter Jizhou tomorrow, but I gave her Manxiu's deed of sale, is she easy to use? means that with Man Xiu's deed of sale in his hand, can he finally hold Man Xiu's loyalty? Meng Tuo hopes that Man Xiu will be loyal to him, which must mean that Man Xiu will not be loyal to the Shi family, does he count as eating inside and out?

The firelight is swaying, and the men who are happy have not yet stopped, they are singing Jizhou's folk songs in tune, and the men's voices seem to be gradually disappearing from near and far.

Changting didn't reach out to pick it up, but thought about it, turned around halfway, took a porcelain bowl in one hand and poured a bowl of warm water in the other, and handed it to Meng Tuo with a smile, "Well, if you can't drink, you won't drink, what are you doing." ”

Meng Tuo put the deed of sale on the ground, took the porcelain bowl very obediently, raised his head and drank it all, and then returned the bowl to Changting, Changting poured another bowl of past, Meng Tuo still drank it very obediently, warm water belly, the hot wine in the abdomen eased a lot, Meng Tuo squinted, and exhaled a breath of white air after a long time.

He didn't speak, the pavilion didn't speak, and several people sat side by side.

After that, Yue Fan dragged Hu Yuniang over to sing and be lively.

It was just the two of them, and after sitting quietly for a long time, Meng Tuo coughed lightly, and Changting turned his head sideways to look at him.

"The deed of sale, you keep it." Meng Tuojiu was still rushing to the back of his head, but his words were very neat, "Now the situation is complicated, who has any thoughts, you can't see through it at a glance." Miss Hu and you and A-Ning are friends of life and death, so they can naturally be trusted, but Miss Hu's strength alone is too small. And full of show"

"Ayu is not my servant with A-Ning."

So it can't be compared with Man Xiu.

Changting interrupted Meng Tuo's words without hesitation.

Meng Tuo paused and nodded, "I don't mean what I mean, don't blame you." ”

Changting bowed his head lightly and said in a soft voice, "It's no wonder." ”

Meng Tuo raised his chin, his throat moved, and the strength of the wine was still rushing upward, Meng Tuo shook his head, and then said downward, "My uncle's behavior is not framed in dogma and morality, I think Lu Gong should have told you, what my uncle-in-law will do, I can't guess." Shi Min is more than 20 years old, but he has not yet had a wife's room, and he has set two family affairs before, he is the girl of the Yu family's long house, and the Geng Ti has been married, but the girl died of illness on the way through the door. After that, the marriage was set again, and before Xiao Ding was set, the girl from that family also passed away, and Shi Min's marriage was delayed. After that, the uncle-in-law did not allow others to talk about Shi Min's marriage again, and when he heard the cane and scolded him once, he gradually concealed these things. ”

Changting listened in horror.

She knew that Shi Meng was bold, but she didn't expect Shi Meng to be so bold!

In Shi Min's situation, he even dared to beat the idea of the Lu family's girl!

At that time, Lu Xuan was still there!

Changting pursed his lips, looked at Meng Tuo, and said softly, "I understand what you mean, but I also know that your purpose is not this. ”

It wasn't her idea to beat her, at least not from Shi Min's position to beat her.

Meng Tuo turned his head, glanced at Changting deeply, looked at it and smiled silently at the corner of his lips, then turned his head to himself, picked up a piece of wood and firewood and threw it into the fire, and continued, "Everyone has their own purpose, our purpose is to hope that the Lu family and you can help the second brother." ”

"Second brother?"

The long pavilion should be and the road.

Meng Tuo nodded, "My uncle's second son, Shi Kuo, is a compatriot with Shi Min's mother, and he has always been in southern Hebei. After Lu Gong said goodbye to Jizhou, I was sent to southern Hebei as an adjutant, Yue Laosan is also the second brother's people, I met you that night I sent someone to send a letter to southern Hebei, the letter was vague, only said that I was afraid that the three scholars were in trouble for the little girl, so the second brother sent me to lead the troops to meet within the boundary of Youzhou. After a pause, the words became a little vague, "The original plan was for me to send you to Jizhou, and Yue Laosan continued to go north, but when I looked at the people, it turned out to be you and A Ning."

Changting's heart settled.

Her guess wasn't wrong.

After drinking wine, Meng Tuo said such a long paragraph without a pause, very frankly.

Even a very man, when talking about Shi Kuo's preference for southern Hebei, he only stated and did not comment on Shi Meng's move.

Changting pursed his lips and smiled, his lips lightly opened, "Now that I can't protect myself, how can I help others?" I only hope that Lord Shi will not be annoyed and angry because he has done a loss-making business. ”

didn't say which Lord Shi it was, Changting covered his eyes, covered his expression, and spoke softly, with a very subtle mockery in his tone, "What's more, outsiders can't control the matter of the brother's wall." ”

Because outsiders can't control it, they have to turn outsiders into insiders.

This thought suddenly came to Meng Tuo's mind.

In an instant, the two of them were stuffy again, the sky in the night was too cold, but the fire in Pinggu was burning extremely strong, Changting raised his head, the sky was gray, and there was no starlight in sight, Changting breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Meng Tuo, pursed his lips and smiled before speaking, "Do you know? When I left Jizhou, A-Ning was very reluctant and secretly asked me, can I see A-Xuan and you again? Can you come to Jizhou again? I was very sure at the time, I said no, we will definitely not come again, our fate will not let us go to Jizhou again, and we will not see the various candidates of the Shi family again. ”

Changting stretched out his arms and made a gesture of embracing the city, smiled back, and raised his voice, "But look, we are here again." ”

"If you can't manage it, don't care about it."

Meng Tuo spoke in a deep voice, feeling that the strength of the wine in his head had retreated, "The hopes of others tell them to continue to think in their hearts." The purpose of others is to let them continue to hope for extravagance. Other people's thoughts are always someone else's. ”

Meng Tuo slowly raised his head, looked at the long pavilion, and said word by word, "It's not yours." Lu Gong never wants to see you follow the path that others expect, step by step. ”

Changting's arm stiffened slightly.

He was replying, she couldn't handle what she said just now.

Changting buried her head, her nose was steeply sour, and she suddenly felt very aggrieved.

Meng Tuo leaned forward, leaned over and picked up the old piece of paper that was spread on the ground, and reached out again and handed it to Changting, "Second brother is not an uncle, nor is he Shi Min, with his personality, he will definitely not rely on women to take the position." What Yue Laosan thinks, what his uncle-in-law thinks, and what Shi Min thinks, it doesn't matter, it's not enough to affect the overall situation, what is important to you?"

"What about you?"

Changting asked softly.

What do you think?

To be honest, Changting didn't understand what she wanted to ask or what answer she wanted to hear, but the words rushed out of her mouth like this.

Meng Tuo was slightly stunned, and was silent for a moment before he said, "It doesn't matter what I think." ”

The song is still singing, and the breath that the men have been holding in their chests these days is rippling in the firelight, although it is not in tune, but it is in vain.

Changting let out an "oh", then buried his head in looking at the deed of sale in Meng Tuo's hand, took it with a smile, raised his head and said lightly, "What do I think, it's actually not enough to worry about." In this world, it only matters what people with big fists think, and even the thoughts of the little emperor in the Chonghua Hall have to be influenced by Prime Minister Qin Xiangyong, not to mention us. You know, I don't have a backing anymore, and if I don't want to follow the path set by others, I'll just burn all I have. ”

She must return to the Lu family for she to be valuable, just like a rough stone that has not been polished and cut, only when the emerald inside can be seen can be called priceless. So she wasn't very worried that the Shi family would rashly smash a piece of jade.

But if someone in the Shi family can't see the shape clearly, they insist on using it

There is always something in the world that is more important than living.

Changting paused slightly, and then said, "And I'm not afraid of the burning of jade." ”

The night sky is vast, but there is no sleep.

Meng Tuo couldn't remember how he responded.

I only remember that the strength of the wine seemed to be fading gradually, and after hearing the words of the Lu family's daughter, he rushed to the back of his head again, and then his brain, which had been stirred like a paste by the spirits, became chaotic, and now he finally understood that those reckless men began to get carried away after drinking a few mouthfuls of cat urine, and he was not so confused yesterday that he was not much better, and the deed of sale was always wanted to be given to her, but it couldn't be when he was drunk

What did he say?

"Someone will protect you" or, "I will protect you"?

What the hell did you answer!

Meng Tuo's face was blue for a while, white and then red, and he scolded in his heart.

"Brother Tuo!"

Yue Fan rode forward with Huan'er, raised his hand and patted Meng Tuo's back, and laughed, "I heard that you drank yesterday?" ”

Meng Tuo "smacked", his blood went to his brain, he pursed his lips, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he lifted the horse's reins in his hand, and said lightly, "Get out." ”

Yue Fan couldn't hold it back, laughed, and then raised his horsewhip and got up to catch up, "Hahahaha!" Ye told you early, you drink wine, you say you, just a cup of poured goods, yesterday I wanted to be a hero, Dad poured a sea bowl, you are old, a sea bowl up and drank it all! The tone of the conversation changed, and he asked with a smile, "Did you sing yesterday?" ”

Meng Tuo's face turned blue.

His grandmother's, he sang a song in front of Miss Lu at the end last night?

"I, singing, up?"

Meng Tuo turned his head and asked expressionlessly, but his tone was regretful. RS
