Chapter 12: May's Curse
"Wencui." Mei Jiu didn't know what to do to make up for his mistakes now, so he had to ask, "Is there no one in my cousin's house?" ”
Wencui looked at the weak girl in front of her, and felt very strange in her heart. People who survive in a big family, it's normal for people to be the same before and after each other, Mei Jiu doesn't hide herself in front of her, it should be a kind of wholehearted trust, but she thinks Mei Jiu's two sides are too extreme, one moment violent, open-mouthed, and one moment shy and careful, it seems that the two natures that are completely unrelated can really exist in a person?
Wencui was worried in her heart, and her face did not change gentlely, "I don't know, Dan Niangzi gave birth to Mo Langjun when she had a difficult birth, my aunt is from the Xinglin family, and she is the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, and then I don't know what happened and was dismissed, I heard that because I felt shameless to return to my hometown, I went out of Bianjing, and committed suicide by taking poison in Changting in the suburbs." ”
When there is no task in the organization, An Jiu sometimes receives orders and has more contact, so when he hears the whole story of this matter, he intuitively feels that Mo Sigui's father did not commit suicide.
Mei Jiu didn't think so deeply, just sighed, "How can you throw away your young son for the sake of face?" ”
"yes!" Wencui sighed, "Uncle's family is two generations of single inheritance, and there is only this one single seedling left, how can my uncle be willing to give it up?" In vain, the lady gave up her life to continue the incense for their family. ”
Mei Jiu said strangely, "Didn't our daughter say that she wouldn't marry outside?" How can an aunt marry outside? ”
"Not really." Wen Cui pondered for a moment before saying, "Dan Niangzi is the biological daughter of the second old lady, and it is said that she is a stunning beauty. A hundred years ago, the Mei family was cursed, and the descendants did not live to be thirty years old, so they left a testament, and the Mei children had to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. Some people who are really not suitable for martial arts practice have no choice but to marry out and become members of other families, and they will not be cursed. ”
Mei Jiu began to feel cold from the soles of his feet.
"Full of loopholes!" An Jiu sneered, "You can only fool an idiot like Mei Jiu." ”
Mei Jiu stiffened for a moment, and said in her heart, "There are some things you can think about in your heart, why do you have to say them!" ”
"The mouth grows on me, I love to talk or not, the ears grow on you, you love to listen or not." An Jiudao.
Mei Jiu was a little annoyed, "Have you never cared about other people's feelings? ”
"Do you know me? If you don't understand, don't blame indiscriminately! An Jiu's voice was slightly cold.
Mei Jiu thought she had hurt her, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry. ”
An Jiu was more satisfied with Mei Jiu's attitude of admitting his mistake, "I think at the beginning, I calculated for a long time, what kind of speed, angle, distance, and which part of the human body will not cause severe pain when the bullet is fired, do you dare to say that I don't consider the target feelings?" ”
"You're so brutal!" Mei Jiu was already pale, she couldn't understand Yasuyu's words, but she could understand the meaning.
Wencui, who was standing on the side, couldn't hear the inner conversation between the two souls, only saw Mei Jiu's face getting paler and paler, and thought that it was the "curse" that scared her, so she hurriedly comforted, "It's all to blame for the slave's broken mouth!" Lady, this is just a rumor, and it will be fine. ”
Mei Jiu suddenly came back to his senses, smiled reluctantly, but his head was a piece of mush, and he didn't know what to say to cover up, "I don't have anything to do, it's just ...... It's just that I ...... to my cousin in my heart."
Very pitiful and guilty.
After being scared for a long time, Mei Jiu gradually became a little bolder, and besides, she was connected to An Jiu's soul, and she could feel that she had no malicious intent.
"It's all fate, don't blame the lady." Wencui comforted.
"I want to be alone." Mei Jiu sat up on his knees and buried his face in his lap.
Wencui got up and reminded before leaving, "Okay, don't blame yourself, according to the rules, these three nights are to spend the night in Tingsong Courtyard, worship the teacher early tomorrow morning, and open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors the day after tomorrow." The slave and maid come and call you at dinner. ”
"Hmm." Mei Jiu responded.
As soon as Wencui came out, Mei Jiu said quietly, "Is there no remedy?" ”
An Jiu said, "It's all said, this matter is not someone's fault, what kind of remedy, his frivolous and prodigal temperament, sooner or later he will be planted in a woman, it's good to give him a wake-up call, besides, what do you think is a good thing to enter the Mei clan genealogy?" I don't think so. ”
Mei Jiu's face changed drastically, "You just said 'full of loopholes', doesn't it mean that Wencui is lying?" The curse ......"
"If Mei's curse is true, in order to keep the incense continuing, just let his son practice martial arts, anyway, sooner or later, her daughter will be someone else's family, as long as she marries out, she will have no worries about her life, but Mei has left all her daughters with good qualifications! For what? An Jiu asked.
Mei Jiu thought for a while and sighed, "Yes, it's really strange!" I can't figure it out. ”
"I can only think of one answer for the time being." This is also the result of An Jiu's compilation based on the information he got in the past few days, "That is, Mei's request for their children to practice martial arts can only reduce the rate of early death of offspring, but cannot completely avoid early death, because the number of children has died too much, if you don't leave your daughter behind, you may not be able to wither!" ”
So in such a big family, there are only about 60 masters, and I don't know if Lu Dao is considered an uncle who has come in! That's why Mei Yanran took Mei Jiu to escape! That's why Mei Yanran's performance towards going home is so abnormal!
As for what the group of black-clothed people would hunt down and kill Mei Jiu that night, An Jiu still couldn't figure it out.
Mei Jiu opened her mouth, full of fear, everything was normal in the plum blossoms, not as terrible as Anjiu said, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it, and subconsciously believed Anjiu's words.
"If you don't believe me, go to your mother now." An Jiudao.
Mei Jiu said, "Why? ”
"If it weren't as I expected, your mother would definitely be against you joining the family tree, so she was under house arrest, otherwise how could she not show up for such a big thing?"
"I've been eating with her for the past two days......" Mei Jiu has experienced too many things in the past few days, and she has no extra energy to think about anything else, and Mei Yanran has always been a mother whose actions speak louder than words, and the relationship between their mother and daughter is very good, but the communication is not close.
An Jiu said indifferently, "Then try it?" ”
Mei Jiu paused, then got out of bed, and called Wencui in after a little grooming.
"Come with me to see my mother." Mei Jiu stared at her.
Wencui's expression was no different from usual, and her smile was still so amiable and soft, "Mrs. Yan went to talk to the old lady, I'm afraid I have to stay with the old lady for dinner." ”
"I really want to see her." Mei Jiu insisted.
"It's still early, and it should be too late to go to the Xiangju Shelter." Wencui did not refuse, "The slave maid will first send someone to see if there are any empty boats at the ferry, and let the old lady tell her first, so as not to disturb her old man." ”
"Okay." Umekudo.
"What do you think? I warn you that there is a limit to my tolerance for idiocy, don't repeatedly challenge the bottom line! Anjiu warned.
Mei Jiu shook his head silently, "Go to my grandmother's place, there are a bunch of maidservants, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to talk to my mother alone." ”
"That's pretty much it." Yasuhisa was quite satisfied with her answer, "Well, you've finally progressed from an idiot to an idiot, and although it doesn't seem to make a difference, I appreciate your tireless efforts in being mentally disabled. ”
Mei Jiu said, "Don't say you're praising me. ”
An Jiu said, "This is obvious, can't you hear it?" ”
"You say yes, yes." Mei Jiu was in no mood to quarrel with her, she thought that everything would be worry-free when she went home, but who knew that this Mei Mansion was full of weirdness, and there were some terrible curses! Umejiu is really desperate to see her mother, not just to verify Anjiu's words.
"Don't you still have a mother? Why will it be sold to the green house? Yasuku finally asked about the opportunity.
Mei Jiu seems to be deliberately avoiding this memory, so Anjiu can't know how to search for her, Mei Jiu was afraid and wary of her before, and she can scare the little girl half to death if she says a word, let alone ask questions.
