Chapter 351: Complex Relationships
It has been a while since he was an official in the same dynasty as Meng Mian, don't look at Guo Yi's palace banquet yesterday, and the other party had spoken for Xiao Jinxuan.
But because of the personalities of the two, one is rigorous and accurate to find the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the other is deviant and always does something contrary to common sense.
Therefore, although the two of them admire each other, they also look down on each other.
So when he heard that Meng Mian was coming, Guo Yi didn't even care about talking, but said quite anxiously:
"County Lord, I don't know if you have a back door in this Forsythia Courtyard, I really don't want to see that Meng Zhuangyuan, listening to his crepe speech, my Guo Yi's ears feel sour."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle twice, but since the two are so powerful, forcibly staying together to talk and reminisce, I'm afraid it's not beautiful.
Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly called Xin, and then asked the other party to take Guo Yi and his wife and leave from the back of the Forsythia Courtyard.
And when Guo Yi was sent away, Xiao Jinxuan stood up and took the initiative to greet the courtyard gate.
After all, Meng Mian won't be long before she and Xiao Jinwen are going to get married, and when she sees each other, she has to call her cousin-in-law.
So seeing that it was a family sooner or later, and now that the other party came to the door in person, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to come out to greet her.
But Xiao Jinxuan almost walked to the door of Forsythia Courtyard, and she didn't wait for her to look out carefully.
Suddenly, she saw only a figure, and rushed towards her very quickly.
"Jinxuan, I miss you to death, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I heard that you are the lord of the county, so you shouldn't ask me to meet and salute and say goodbye, you know those things, but I have never been able to do it. ”
To tell the truth, just now when someone suddenly rushed over and hugged her, Xiao Jinxuan was not only startled in her heart, but she also frowned instantly, and she was about to blurt out the words of scolding.
But when the familiar voice sounded in her ears after a long time, she instantly heard that the person holding her was definitely Meng Liangjun, a former friend.
I didn't expect to see Meng Liangjun again in the Jingshi.
Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan quickly pushed the other party away, and then looked at the other party carefully for a long time, and then said with a happy smile:
"It's really Liangjun that you're here, I just thought I heard it wrong. This is the New Year, why did you come to Beijing, your uncle and aunt are really accommodating to you. ”
As soon as Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, she saw a little slower. Meng Mian, who had just arrived, not only walked apologetically and quickly to the front, but then said very helplessly:
"Please forgive me, Lord Zhaoyang, Liangjun was broken at home, this rule is really loose. Especially this time, she came to Beijing with her father and mother behind her back, and when she came out of the New Year, I was going to send her back to Yangzhou, and a boudoir woman went out alone, which was too nonsense. ”
Seeing Meng Mian pretending to be stern and glaring at him, Meng Liangjun was not afraid, but pouted and said:
"My brother still came to murder me, the reason why people braved the cold and heavy snow to come here is not because you are afraid that you will be too lonely to spend the New Year in Beijing alone. But you don't understand people's intentions at all, and you want to send me back to Yangzhou. Hmph, I won't go back, my brother won't take me in, then I'll stay here with Jinxuan, see what you do with me. ”
Seeing that as soon as Meng Liangjun finished speaking, he immediately stuck out his tongue at Meng Mian.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but laugh, feeling that the other party was still as innocent and lively as when she was in Yangzhou.
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, with a smile on her face, Meng Liangjun exclaimed, and then said curiously:
"Jinxuan hasn't seen you for more than a year, you have changed so much, you didn't like to laugh so much before, but now that we have met, I see that you have always put a smile on the corner of your mouth. But you are much more kind and kind than before. ”
Hearing Meng Liangjun's unobstructed words, Meng Mian's head immediately felt more painful.
After all, Xiao Jinxuan is now the lord of Zhaoyang, and it won't be long before she becomes the princess.
The other party is no longer the girl who was born in Xiao Mansion when she was in Yangzhou.
Therefore, Meng Liangjun's words were too rude and unruly in Meng Mian's opinion.
But for Meng Liangjun's temperament, Xiao Jinxuan, who is not very oppressive about the rules, feels very kind.
Therefore, seeing that Meng Mian was present, Meng Liangjun, who was always a younger sister, was always constrained, and Xiao Jinxuan, who immediately wanted to catch up with this friend, said with a smile:
"The good monarch is here with me, just like my own courtyard, and I don't need those polite courtesies between me and her. When it comes to Meng Shilang, since you have come to the Shuai Mansion, you should always visit the eldest aunt first, and if you know that you are coming, Cousin Jinwen will be happy. ”
Shi Cai looked at Meng Liangjun who was still helpless, and when he heard that Xiao Jinwen was mentioned, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
From love at first sight to getting along with each other more familiarly, Meng Mian sighed and found that Xiao Jinwen's talent was even more exquisite than many students.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a woman, Meng Mian would not have doubted that Xiao Jinwen would definitely become a generation of poets and scholars, and the other party's talent also fascinated him deeply.
Therefore, seeing that Meng Liangjun would not have any major problems here with Xiao Jinxuan, Meng Mian was really a little eager to meet Xiao Jinxuan.
With a slightly flushed face, Xiao Jinxuan confessed, and Meng Mian immediately left the Forsythia Courtyard, preparing to meet his future mother-in-law Zhao first, and then go to see Xiao Jinwen.
Seeing that Meng Mian was gone, I thought that Meng Liangjun would be free, and he would definitely cheer.
But Xiao Jinxuan pulled the other party twice in a row, wanting to take her to sit in the room, but the other party frowned, staring at the direction of Meng Mian's departure, and didn't even blink his eyes.
Puzzled, she gently pushed Meng Liangjun a few times, and Xiao Jinxuan said with confusion:
"What's wrong with you, as soon as Meng Gongzi leaves, don't you take this opportunity to play with me for a while, and when your brother comes back, I will have to lecture you again." Liangjun followed me into the house, and I asked them to prepare some special snacks for you to taste. ”
But Xiao Jinxuan's words, Meng Liangjun didn't seem to hear it, but said in a sullen tone:
"Jinxuan, let me ask you, what is the relationship between the cousin you just mentioned and my brother, and why does Brother Meng Mian's expression be so strange when he talks about her."
Hearing Meng Liangjun ask this, Xiao Jinxuan was immediately surprised, and then said casually with a smile:
"It seems that you just came to Jingshi, and Meng Gongzi probably hasn't told you yet. When he was in high school, he was the champion of the Golden Temple. His Majesty has given him and my cousin a marriage. When the year is over and the spring flowers are blooming, they will be ordered to get married. ”
I thought that Meng Liangjun would definitely be happy for Meng Mian when he heard this, but what Xiao Jinxuan never expected was.
After Meng Liangjun heard her words, not only did his eyes widen instantly, but in the next quarter of an hour, tears burst into tears like the river that had opened the floodgates.
In this icy winter, standing outside like this and crying, tears soaked in the face, and when the wind blows, it is extremely easy to hurt the skin.
Therefore, although she didn't know why Meng Liangjun suddenly cried, Xiao Jinxuan immediately called Ling Xiao and Agar and forcibly took each other back to her room.
After everyone withdrew from the house, I looked at Meng Liangjun, who was still crying on the chaise longue, and immediately Xiao Jinxuan walked forward helplessly.
"What's wrong with you, are you too happy to be married, so you can't make such a gaffe. Okay, Liangjun, my cousin is kind and elegant, and you will like it after you see it. So don't cry, let's finally meet again, Liangjun, you are like this, others can bully you for me. ”
When they were in Yangzhou, the relationship between Xiao Jinxuan and Meng Liangjun was so good that a hairpin could be worn interchangeably with each other.
Therefore, Meng Liangjun, who is not good at concealing the truth in his heart, has always told the other party no matter what private words he has in front of Xiao Jinxuan.
So I saw that she cried for a long time, and seemed to have calmed down a lot, and then she choked up and said aggrievedly:
"How can Jinxuan be like this, how can Brother Meng Mian like others, if he marries your cousin, then what am I, Meng Liangjun, and what should I do in the future."
looked at Meng Liangjun in a daze for a long time, until the other party grabbed her wrist and told her to help find a way.
Xiao Jinxuan came back to her senses, and then said tentatively:
"Liangjun, what do you mean by this, you and Meng Mian are biological brothers and sisters, whether he is married or not has nothing to do with you, is it possible for you to tell me that in your heart, you have always liked your own brother."
Without the slightest hesitation, after hearing this, Meng Liangjun immediately nodded very seriously.
looked at Xiao Jinxuan, her brows were already furrowed, and she immediately waved her hand in a panic and said:
"Jinxuan, don't get me wrong, how could I like my own brother. I'll tell you a secret, you can't tell anyone. In fact, Brother Meng Mian was not a child born to my parents at all, and he and I have no blood relationship. His father was a close friend of my father's colleague and was wrongfully imprisoned and beheaded, and a faithful old servant of my brother's family at that time happened to have a son who was about the same age as my brother. In order not to break the master's family, he used his own child to replace his brother's life, so I like Brother Meng Mian, which is simply justified. ”
Meng Liangjun's temperament, Xiao Jinxuan understands, although she likes to mess around, she has never lied.
I didn't expect that when I asked, I would even involve this secret of the Meng family, and immediately Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but secretly pay attention to Meng Mian's true origin, and was ready to check it out when she had time.
Then Xiao Jinxuan looked at Meng Liangjun who was a little helpless, and cried aggrievedly, she didn't even know what to say to comfort the other party.
After all, this marriage between Meng Mian and Xiao Jinwen is not an exaggeration to say that Xiao Jinxuan is a big matchmaker.
And now that she learned that the best sister also liked Meng Mian in her heart, and it seemed that she was obviously deeply rooted, Xiao Jinxuan immediately knew that this matter was probably a little troublesome.
