The autumn breeze is bleak, the weather is gradually getting cooler, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, today is an important day for the talents, today is the beginning of the autumn festival, the gate of the Gongyuan is full of people, some want to go to the exam, some come to send people to the exam, Yuexi and Zhou's sentence told Meng Xingqi, let him take good care of himself during the three days of the exam, eat on time, Meng Xingqian responded one by one, until the door of the Gongyuan opened to let the candidates enter, the two of them didn't say anything, Meng Xingqian hugged Yuexi and went in, Yuexi's face was red, but Zhou was smiling on the side!

After seeing Meng Xingqian enter, Yuexi helped her and said as she walked: "Auntie, Brother Xingqi told me to take care of you these days, why don't you live in our Yuexing Pavilion these days?" It is also convenient for me to take care of you, you can rest assured, we all live in the backyard, there will be no guests to come to the backyard, the backyard is the same as ordinary people! ”

Zhou thought for a while and said, "Yes, it's just too troublesome for your boss, right?" ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I asked my mother yesterday, and my mother agreed, and the room was cleaned up for you!"

In this way, the Zhou family lived in the Yuexing Pavilion, and three days later, when Meng Xingqian came out of the Gongyuan after the exam, he saw the Zhou family and Yuexi waiting at the door, followed Yuexi back to the Yuexing Pavilion, packed up his things and went back!

Three days later, the results were announced, Meng Xingqian and Yuexi waited at the gate of the Gongyuan early, there were more people at the gate of the Gongyuan than in the last exam, some people came to check their results, as soon as the results were hung out, other candidates rushed up, looking for their names, those who won walked with their heads held high, and those who didn't hit were depressed, Yuexi saw the name on the list at a glance: "Brother Xingqi, look, third place!" ”

Meng Xingqian started to look at the last place, the more he looked forward, the more disappointed he became, thinking that he had fallen off the list, but he didn't expect Yuexi to exclaim, he looked up and saw that the list read, "Third place Jingkui: Meng Xingqi!" Seeing his name, he hugged Yuexi with tears in his eyes: "Yuexi, I'm hit!" ”

Yuexi looked at the tears in his eyes and slapped him: "Look at you, Zhongju is so excited, you will be unhappy in the future!" ”

When the other people heard this, they all came up to congratulate him, and he thanked him one by one, and pulled Yuexi away! As he walked, he said: "Yuexi, I booked a banquet in the restaurant tonight, I want to invite your sisters and the proprietress to have a meal, thank them for taking care of my mother a few days ago, can you help me invite it?" ”

"Good!"

In the evening, there was still a moon in the ice smoke, and they all came, and Meng Xingqian picked up a glass of wine during the banquet: "Thank you for coming today, and I invite everyone to eat today to thank you for taking care of your mother a few days ago!" ”

Bingyan and the five people immediately stood up, picked up their wine glasses and said: "Meng Gongzi is polite, Ling Tang doesn't dislike us, that Qinglou already looks up to us, and he really doesn't deserve a word of Sister Meng Gongzi!" ”

Meng Xingqian was about to say something more, but Yuexi stood up and said, "Don't be polite, let's drink together!" ”

The banquet was coming to an end, everyone was happily drinking and chatting, but Liuyue suddenly stood up, and everyone couldn't stand steadily, and pointed to Meng Xingqian and said: "Meng Xingqi, let me tell you, if you dare to treat Yuexi badly in the future, I will castrate you, our Yuexi is the best girl in the world, and it is more than enough for the prince in the capital!" ”

Bingyan hurriedly stood up and pulled Liuyue to apologize to Meng Xingqi: "Meng Gongzi forgive me, Liuyue loves nonsense when she gets drunk, don't take it to heart, Yuexi, you can accompany Meng Gongzi well, let's go back first!" ”

Looking at Liuyue, who was pulled away by the other four people, Yuexi smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Xingqi, don't be angry, Sister Liuyue has no malicious intentions!" ”

"I'm not angry, I'm very happy to see Liuyue like this, which shows that they really love you!" The two drank and chatted until very late Yuexi returned to Yuexing Pavilion, and when they returned to Yuexing Pavilion, everyone else slept, and Yuexi also went back to the room to wash up and sleep!

In a blink of an eye, many months have passed, the first snow of the year fell last night, at this time everywhere is white, Yuexi stood in front of the window and enjoyed the snow scene in the distance, suddenly heard someone call her, looked down and saw that it was Meng Xingqi, and hurriedly ran downstairs: "Brother Xingqi, what's wrong?" ”

Meng Xingqian saw that she came down, and the courage she had just mustered disappeared again, and she only said that she came to see her, and then left, Yuexi looked at his back very strangely, I had never seen him like this, what was going on today, I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ran upstairs to open the bottom layer of my jewelry box, took out the broken silver and counted, thought about it and came to the Bingyan room again, saw Bingyan combing her hair, I don't know what to say if I want to borrow money, Bingyan saw her put down the wooden comb and asked her: "Yuexi, do you have something?" ”

"Mom, I want to take a day off and borrow some money from you!"

"It's okay to take a leave of absence, but why are you borrowing money?"

Yuexi thought for a while and said: "Brother Xingqi came to me just now, I thought he was embarrassed to say something, so I wanted to go and see, thinking that he had some money on his body to be on guard, I was afraid that he would be embarrassed to say because he wanted to borrow money, but I didn't have much money myself, so I wanted to borrow five taels of silver from you!" ”

Bingyan took ten taels of silver from the cabinet and gave it to her, Yuexi excused herself and said that she didn't need so much, but Bingyan said: "Meng Gongzi can come to you to show that he is really in trouble, and it will not be enough to take these ten taels of provinces!" ”

Yuexi thanked him and went out, and as soon as he entered the village, he heard a very familiar voice pleading with others: "Uncle Village Chief, I beg you, my mother is seriously ill and the family's money has run out, please lend me some silver, and repay you as a cow and a horse in the future!" ”

An old and helpless voice said: "Xingqi, it's not that Uncle doesn't help you, it's just that Uncle's family is not rich, your mother's illness is raised by precious medicinal materials, it is a bottomless pit, the old and young masters in the village can borrow everything they can lend you, there is really no way!" ”

After finishing speaking, he entered the house and closed the door, no matter how Meng Xingqian took it, he didn't open it anymore, Yuexi stepped forward and pulled him away, and said while walking towards Meng Xingqi's house: "When did my aunt get sick?" Why haven't you heard of it? Why don't you ask me if you're short of money? ”

Meng Xingqian lowered his head and said, "How can you let me open my mouth to you?" I keep saying that I want to marry you, but I can't even redeem my life for you, and now my mother is sick and has to borrow money from you, how can I be embarrassed to open my mouth! ”

Yuexi stood still, holding his face with both hands and looking at him and said, "Brother Xingqi, I'm not an outsider, you can tell me if you have difficulties, although I don't have much money, I'm a little more generous than you!" After speaking, he stuffed the purse into him: "Na, here are ten taels of silver, you can take it to your aunt first, and then ask me to take it if it is not enough!" You go and ask the doctor, I'll go see my aunt first!" ”

Looking at the back of Yuexi walking into the house, Meng Xingqian secretly wiped her tears, and then went to ask for a doctor, Yuexi waited for Meng Xingqian to invite a doctor to see Zhou, Meng Xingqian followed to catch the medicine again, Yuexi has been accompanying Zhou, after catching the medicine, Yuexi volunteered to decoct the medicine, and by the way, she boiled some porridge, and stayed busy with Meng Xingqian until late at night before returning to Yuexing Pavilion!

More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and there are still a few days to go before the New Year, these days the pavilion is busy preparing things for the New Year, and since that day, Yuexi has not seen Meng Xingqian for more than a month! On this day, everyone in the pavilion fell asleep, but suddenly a person slammed on the courtyard door, and Aunt Zhang, who lived on the first floor, put on a dress and shivered coldly to open the door, and when she opened the door, she just wanted to speak, but the person hurriedly said: "Aunt Zhang, where is Yuexi?" ”

Aunt Zhang looked at Meng Xingqi, who looked flustered, and said, "Yuexi is sleeping in the room!" ”

Meng Xingqian didn't have time to thank him, so he hurriedly ran upstairs and knocked on the door of Yuexi's room, Yuexi opened the door with sleepy eyes, and saw that it was Meng Xingqi, who was obviously sweating on a snowy day, and panting: "Brother Xingqi, what's wrong with you?" What happened? ”

"Yuexi, hurry up and get dressed and go home with me!" Meng Xingqi's tone was so anxious that he seemed to be about to cry!

"What's wrong? Did something happen to my aunt? ”

Meng Xingqian slapped himself in annoyance: "It's all my fault, this afternoon my mother saw that I hadn't rested well for more than a month, let me go back to my room to have a good rest, I just wanted to sleep for a while, get up at night to guard my mother, but I fell asleep as soon as I lay on the bed, and I didn't wake up until midnight when I heard the sound of things falling to the ground in my mother's room, and when I went to my mother's room, I saw my mother lying on the ground with blood on her face, and next to it was an upside-down basin stand, I quickly helped her up and invited a doctor, but the doctor said that my mother fell to her head, let me prepare for the future!" My mother said in a daze that she wanted to see you, so I hurriedly ran here, you hurry up and get dressed and go with me! Otherwise, I'm afraid ......."

"Oh oh, Brother Xingqi, you go back first, I'll get dressed and come over!"

Meng Xingqian left first, Yuexi closed the door and changed his clothes and trotted all the way to Meng's house, as soon as he stepped into the door, he heard Meng Xingqian say: "Mother, you wait, Yuexi will be here soon!" ”

Yuexi walked a few steps forward and grabbed Zhou's hand: "Auntie, I'm here!" ”

Zhou tried his best to open his eyes, and saw a smile on Yuexi's pale face: "Yuexi, you are here, your aunt is leaving, and your aunt wants to ask you for something before leaving!" ”

Yuexi cried and nodded: "I know, aunt, I will definitely take good care of Brother Xingqi in the future!" ”

Zhou smiled and nodded, and then took off a jade bracelet from his hand with all his strength and handed it to Yuexi: "This is the jade bracelet that my grandmother gave to my grandmother when I first entered the door, and the Meng family passed it on to my daughter-in-law, I can't see you getting married, so I'll give it to you today!" And my aunt wants to hear you call me mother before leaving, is it okay? ”

Yuexi took the jade bracelet with both hands, put it on in front of her, and then knelt down and kowtowed three times and shouted: "Mother"

Zhou walked with a smile, Meng Xingqian cried all night by her bed, and Yuexi also accompanied him all night!

Yuexi walked into the mourning hall with the food box, walked to Meng Xingqi's side, since he cried all night that night, he has not spoken or cried, Yuexi knelt down side by side with him: "Brother Xingqi, you haven't eaten or drunk for three days, can you eat something?" Meng Xingqian didn't react, Yuexi continued: "Otherwise, you can cry, it will be better to cry!" Still didn't react, Yuexi was about to cry: "Brother Xingqi, don't be like this, I'm afraid!" You won't be at ease if your aunt leaves! ”

Meng Xingqian looked at her in a daze, a tear slipped down for a long time, Meng Xingqian hugged Yuexi and cried: "Yuexi, my mother is gone, she doesn't want me anymore!" ”

Yuexi gently patted him on the back and let him cry, and after a long time, the crying gradually became smaller, and then Yuexi spoke: "Brother Xingqi, my aunt didn't want you, but her time to accompany you is up, and she is going to accompany her uncle, otherwise my uncle is so lonely and pitiful over there, you still have me with you, but my uncle doesn't, so now my aunt is going to accompany him!" ”

Meng Xingqian looked at Yuexi embarrassedly after crying, but Yuexi smiled and said, "You haven't eaten for a few days, eat something and then go and rest, otherwise you won't be able to bear it tomorrow when your aunt is buried!" I'm here! ”

Meng Xingqian nodded, ate something and went to rest! The next day, Zhou's funeral, Bingyan and Liuyue also came to see them off, Meng Xingqian was grateful, and everyone buried Zhou next to Meng Xingqi's father in a beautiful manner!
