Chapter 60: The Wedding Banquet

In the Huaiwang Mansion, Jing Rong opened his eyes panting, sat up and felt cold, how many times, dreaming of her, she will always be the blood-colored figure on the city platform.

Those bright and smiling eyes, he, is he no longer visible.

"Daddy, Qing'er wants to go out and play."

Jing Rong came back to his senses, and the small pink figure beside the bed was struggling to climb up. He reached out and picked up the little ball, smoothing her hair.

"Why did Qing'er get up so early today, brother."

"My brother went to read again, obviously he couldn't understand anything, and he called me stupid all day long."

Jing Rong smiled and nodded the tip of Qing'er's nose: "That Qing'er understands?" ”

"Daddy read it to Qing'er, and Qing'er will remember it at once."

"Okay."

Jing Rong put down the little ball and said softly: "Then Qing'er will go to find my brother first, and my father will take Qing'er to play for a while." ”

"Well, then Daddy needs to hurry up."

Jing Rong looked at the figure that jumped away and jumped away, his eyes were like water.

After a while, Jing Rong pushed open the door of the study, and in the study, Kong Qing sat on the mat like an ink monkey, surrounded by more than a dozen ink paintings that he didn't understand. On the other side of the table, June was sitting on the side, frowning slightly, looking intently at the book, undisturbed by the rumbling sound beside him.

"Qing'er."

With a call, Kong Qing raised his head and his eyes lit up, and he immediately spread the pen in his hand and turned it over.

"Daddy."

"Father."

Jing Rong caught the figure that threw herself into her arms, took a few steps to pick up the book on the table, and asked Xiang June, "Is there anything that won't be?" ”

June bowed down and said, "The child has written down everything he can't know, and I wanted to ask for advice after my father had breakfast." ”

Kong Qing said dissatisfiedly: "No, no, my father promised Qing'er to go out." ”

Jing Rong pressed the little hands that were still waving around with ink, and said helplessly: "Okay, let's change our clothes and go." ”

Kong Qingchong stuck out his tongue at the expressionless June beside him, looking proud.

June bowed down and said, "Since my father has something to do, the child will go to ask Master Yu for advice first, and then I won't go out with my sister." ”

Jing Rong hesitated for two moments, finally sighed in his heart, lowered his eyes and said, "Okay, even so, then you can study with peace of mind." ”

"Yes, the boy sends his father."

Out of the room, Kong Qing tugged at Jingrong's sleeve and said softly: "Daddy, what's wrong with my brother, why am you unhappy when you came back the day before yesterday." ”

Jing Rong glanced at the closed door and rubbed his empty head, and was about to speak, when a figure walked in the courtyard.

"Lord Wang."

"What?"

Sanqi said: "The banquet post sent by the Zongfu the day before yesterday said that it was the wedding banquet of the second son of the Zongfu, and you promised to go, and the carriage and horses have been prepared." I don't know when you'll leave. ”

Kong Qing on the side was interested, and rushed forward and grabbed Sanqi's sleeve: "Now, Daddy said I'll go now." ”

Jing Rong patted Kongqing's raised head helplessly: "When did I say this." ”

"Just now, Qing'er just helped Daddy say what was in his heart, Daddy will leave now."

"You, you really can't stop for a moment, let's go change our clothes first, Sanqi, tell them to get ready to go."

"Yes."

Kong Qing slid down from Jing Rong's arms and said, "Then I'll call my brother, my brother will definitely go this time." ”

Outside the study, Jing Rong listened to the empty green voice in the study and the stubborn voice of June repeated over and over again, and shook his head helplessly.

At the gate of the Zongfu, Heshan looked at the guests coming and going, and said softly to Mengzhou: "You have always been the best at stealing chickens and dogs, think about a way, how do we get in now." ”

"Are you sure the guy you're looking for is in there?"

"Don't talk nonsense, figure it out."

Meng Zhou glanced at the tree on the side wall of the sect's mansion, and said to Heshan Nunu: "I just looked, the side door is sealed, and there is not even a dog hole around, we can only climb over the wall, go in first." ”

The sound of all the overlapping landings sounded, and Heshan ** pushed away the person on his body, and said angrily: "Uncle Mengzhou, you actually attacked from behind." ”

Meng Zhou rubbed his arms and sat up: "You have to come in, of course you have to take the lead." He raised his head as he spoke, his body shrunk and swallowed, it was really a narrow road.

Seeing that the people around him were unusually quiet, Heshan also turned over and looked at them, and saw the little boy standing alone a few steps away and looking at them coldly.

"That's a coincidence." Meng Zhou smiled weakly.

Heshan looked at the people around him pretending to be familiar, and rolled his eyes, "Shut up, you." ”

Then he saw that the boy had not said a word, as if he had not seen them, and turned and left.

Meng Zhou was terrified, and when he saw that there was no one around, he immediately took a few steps forward to stop in front of him. Tentatively: "Wait, we are half destined after all, you don't want to denounce us now." ”

"Get out of the way."

"Tsk, you kid, why are you so rude, that's how your father taught you."

As soon as Meng Zhou's words fell, the kid suddenly clenched his fists, and even his whole body trembled a little, and he suppressed his voice and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Seeing that this was wrong, Heshan stepped forward and pulled Meng Zhou behind him, bent down and apologized: "This little boy, we really don't mean to offend, but there is a reason for it, and we hope to understand." ”

The kid regained his indifference, and didn't even bother to look at them, Meng Zhou pinched the time, and whispered in Heshan's ear: "Do you expect this kid to be considerate? If you want me to say, it's better to tie him up and stuff him in which room, and wait until we're done with business. ”

Meng Zhou looked around as he spoke, and when he was wondering where to stuff the child, the little boy glanced at Meng Zhou, who was looking around, and said loudly; "It's good to do it yourself."

Heshan was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Yes, thank you for mentioning it." ”

After the child left, Heshan slapped his palm on Mengzhou's head, grinded his teeth and said: "There is more than enough success and more failure, shut up and follow." ”

The two of them circled around three times before they got out of the deserted courtyard, and as soon as their feet touched the edge of the vestibule, a pair of government soldiers patrolled over in groups of three or five.

"Hey, the girl I talked to you before, you used to know each other."

"Yes, it's a girl from my former hometown."

The other soldiers laughed and bumped into the man who spoke: "You kid can, you can carry a few lifelong events behind your brother's back." ”

"Don't say that, you mistook the innocence of other girls."

"Yo, this is the beginning of the protection, you have time to talk to the brothers, I see that the girls who entered the house are very obedient."

The other continued: "That's just in, I don't know the bottom of my heart, wait for a few days and you see, you will be the same as Ming'er, dare to exceed half a point, and you will not be beaten by your parents." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter.

The voice faded away, and Heshan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. With a sweep of his eyes, a eager head appeared beside him, and he stretched out his hand to hold it down and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you going to do, stay honest." ”

"Don't scratch my head, I don't think there's a brilliant way to help you?"

Heshan glanced at him suspiciously: "You're not still beating that kid's idea, are you?" ”

"Tsk, what are you talking about, didn't you hear what those boys just said? A new girl. ”

"What does it have to do with you? Besides, no matter how late it is, there are a number of them, and you can still conjure up a flower. ”

Meng Zhou gritted his teeth: "Elm head, this big man remembers a few newcomers, besides, isn't it a newcomer who made a mistake, okay, when the time comes, red will be the number." He shook his head and said, "Let's go separately, you go to the bottom, and I'll change my clothes." ”

In the vestibule, everyone held a banquet and drank, Zong Ying was born as a military general, there were more martial arts friends around him, his son married, and everyone came to congratulate, making the scene very lively, Zong Ying was a little unable to get out of his body for a while, it was a mess, and several Wenchen sitting at the adjacent table looked at the posture and avoided it.

Heshan stood sideways in the corner, his eyes moving around, and finally settled.

At that end, Meng Zhou followed a few maids into the backyard, groped for a side room and slipped in.

Taking off the mask, the mirror revealed a pair of eyes as warm as water, and the wind brought up a few strands of hair at the corners of his forehead, revealing a light-colored scar that snaked to the tip of his eyebrows.

She stretched out her hand to pull out the hairpin, and the green silk slid down and landed on the blue dress, which made her trance, as if she had seen it before.

A soft knock outside the door interrupted her thoughts. She turned her head, and two young girls walked out the door. One frowned tightly, and the other was a thinner little girl, leading the sick girl to stagger.

"Now Miss Ming'er is busy, and I can't find it, you take this medicine first and rest, and I will bring someone over to take care of you."

"It's important over there, you, you go first, I'll just take it easy."

After the two finished speaking, the thin girl turned her head to see Meng Zhou, and took a step back as if she was startled. Fu frowned again and said, "Which courtyard are you a newcomer, how can you casually enter someone else's house." ”

"I'm sorry, this sister, I've only been here for a few days, and I'm not familiar with the side yard, so I entered the wrong house, so I'll go out." Meng Zhou said and prepared to slip away.

"Wait."

Meng Zhou's heart sank, he bit his lip and turned his head to laugh, and said, "I don't know what else this sister has to say." ”

After the thin girl settled the sick little maid on the side, she walked up to Meng Zhou and said, "You let go of the things in your hand first, and go to Mingxiang Courtyard with me to make a hand." ”

Meng Zhou coughed, pretending to be sad and said: "I just came to the Zongfu and I am not familiar with this place, this clumsy, what if something goes wrong in the Mingxiang Courtyard." ”

The thin girl said while pulling Meng Zhou out: "You just follow me, and I won't let you do anything, just take a hand in the courtyard." Okay, let's go, I'm still in a hurry, and if I delay the hour, we will both be punished. ”

Meng Zhou sighed and had to follow with his fate. She was cautious along the way, for fear that the old people in the sect mansion would recognize her fake identity. Fortunately, today's Zongfu married and everyone was busy, so the two of them arrived at Mingxiangyuan without danger.

Meng Zhou stayed with the thin girl for a while, and then was assigned to deliver something to Mingxiang's inner courtyard. The further back she went, the fewer people there were. Meng Zhou was strange in his heart, it stands to reason that this Mingxiang inner courtyard is where the prince of the sect and the bride live. Today is a day of great joy, the maids in the front yard are so busy that they can't even see a figure in the backyard.

When Meng Zhou was puzzled, through the door, he heard a scream in the room, followed by the crisp sound of porcelain breaking on the ground, but in an instant, the room returned to a deathly silence.

Meng Zhou looked around, and she was the only one in the courtyard. After going around in place a few times, she sighed hatefully, but still stepped forward to the window, reached out and carefully poked a hole.

Through the small hole, Meng Zhou saw the bride in the wedding dress sitting on the edge of the bed, and in front of the bride stood a girl in purple, with green silk tied up high, tall and tall, and a thin background.

Meng Zhou looked at it for a while, but he didn't see the girl in purple move, but just stood still. She frowned, just inexplicable. She was watching, and the people in the room suddenly seemed to notice something, turned their heads suddenly, and looked straight in the direction of Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou's heart jumped, and he hurriedly turned away, secretly praying that the girl in purple in the room didn't notice him.

The door creaked open, and before Meng Zhou could escape, the girl in purple grabbed her collar and threw her into the house.

"Oops, it hurts."

"Shut up."

Meng Zhou raised his head, and then he saw the girl's appearance clearly, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, full of heroism. A neat dress adds a bit of sassiness. Meng Zhou wrung his hands, feeling that he couldn't be deceived, and he couldn't run away if he couldn't fight, so he sighed, leaned silently on the corner of the bed as if resigned to his fate, and said bitterly: "This girl, we have no grievances and no enemies, you don't plan to solve it with me." ”

The purple-clothed girl glanced at Meng Zhou, and said indifferently: "If you talk more, I can't guarantee it." ”

Meng Zhou consciously closed her mouth, reached out to probe the snort of the bride beside her, and only after feeling the warmth did she relax.

"Got a change of clothes."

Meng Zhou was slightly stunned, a little puzzled.

The girl in purple pulled out her sword expressionlessly, pointed at Meng Zhou, and said, "Do it." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll take it off, don't be impulsive." Meng Zhou said and immediately changed his clothes.

After a while, Meng Zhou and the bride's clothes had been completely adjusted. She sat obediently on the edge of the bed as the purple-clothed girl requested.

After Mengzhou sat down, the girl in purple stretched out her hand and counted a few times on Mengzhou's shoulder, stuffed the pill in her mouth, and picked up the bride and prepared to leave.

Dream was anxious to stop the girl in purple, but found that she couldn't even make a sound, and her body seemed to be imprisoned, unable to move.

"When the time comes, it will be unraveled." The girl in purple said as she picked up the hood and put it on Mengzhou's head.

"If you have a life to escape, it's better to stay away from the sect."

The last sentence spread out in the sound of the door closing, Meng Zhou's heart was powerless, how could she be so unlucky, she couldn't be arrested if she saved people, now, not to mention whether Heshan could save her, she doubted that Heshan could recognize her through this red robe.

Mengzhou sat alone in this room, and remembered the news that she had inquired about before with Heshan, and heard that the bride who was married by Zongzhi was not a young lady from a family, but just a country woman. However, there are rumors that things are not so easy at all, this lady of the Zongfu was originally trying her best to refuse to marry the country woman to enter the door, but the woman was pregnant with a child, in order to protect the blood and reputation of the Zongfu, the lady of the Zongfu reluctantly nodded and agreed.

But looking at the posture of the Zongfu banquet at today's wedding banquet, everyone can't figure out what this Zongfu thinks.

Meng Zhouxin sighed, no matter how the Zongfu organized this wedding banquet, but after all, the old nest was a mud swallow, flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix, perhaps because of this, this girl is not valued by everyone in the house, on the day of the big day, the courtyard should be waiting for the maid everywhere, but now there is not even a grandmother in the house, this girl ostensibly entered the gate of the sect, everyone congratulated, but secretly I don't know how many people are jealous and ironic.

What's even more ridiculous is that the wedding banquet in the vestibule is lively and harmonious, but in the backyard, no one knows that the bride has been kidnapped. Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's eyes appeared in front of the purple-clothed girl's movements again, but he didn't know why the purple-clothed girl ventured into the sect's mansion and kidnapped the bride.

I don't know how long it took, Meng Zhou finally had some reaction, and as soon as she tentatively moved her feet, she heard a conversation outside the house.

"Mama Xu, you just heard that there was a reward in the front yard, I went to ask, there is no such thing at all."

Another hoarse voice sounded: "Hey, don't mention it, it must be the words of those new little girls who have entered the mansion again." It's really troublesome, take a trip in vain. If I'm free, I have to educate these little girls who don't know the height of the sky. Otherwise, they really thought that this house was a relief house, and they all wanted to climb up. ”

"Shhhh

"Hmph, I'm afraid she heard it, and she didn't dare to say anything, she had nowhere to say."

Meng Zhou leaned over and listened to the words outside the house, and suddenly remembered the rumors in the market.

The door was pushed open, and the hoarse voice sounded again: "Hey, what about those maids, tell them to wait, and now they don't know where to go to have fun, it's really reassuring for a moment." ”

"That's it, I'll watch, you go to the front yard to bring a few maids over, and when the time comes, the young master should come to the courtyard."

Mengzhou, who was sitting on the bed, was almost shocked when he heard this.

Suddenly, her throat itched, and a soft cough overflowed, drowned out the conversation of the two grandmothers at the door.

There was a brief silence in the room, and from time to time there were a few footsteps turning away.

Meng Zhou used all her strength to try to break through the shackles that the woman in purple had laid on her, and after she recovered seven or eight points of strength on her body, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her face.
