"PS: Considering the current intimacy and relationship, let's do it first, stop at a shallow taste, and then add appropriate pen and ink in the future to enrich the character. It's not easy to describe multiple heroines, and this is only the first heroine now, no problem!!"

———— the following text————

In the hall of the North House, Meng Zhong and Le Yan looked at each other silently.

After only looking at each other for less than a breath or two, Le Yan quickly lowered her head, and her fair face and exposed neck gradually became a little crimson.

Xiang's intentions are also good, I hope that these two young couples in the future can take this opportunity to get to know each other, after all, before this, Meng Zhong and Le Yan have never met, and their understanding of each other is only through the relay of others, which leads to the two of them being alone in the hall at the moment, and they don't know what to say.

Fortunately, when the Xiang clan took the initiative to avoid it, he deliberately let Le Jin and Le Xu separate Meng Hu, Meng Sui, Le Yi, Rong Yi and others, otherwise, if these people secretly looked outside the door at the moment, I am afraid that Meng Zhong and Le Yan would feel even more embarrassed.

Of course, even if there are no outsiders, this is embarrassing enough.

"Hoo ......"

The dull atmosphere in the room made Meng Zhong feel a little uncomfortable, and in the spirit of thinking that as a man, he should take the initiative to open the topic, he asked tentatively: "Why don't you ...... Going for a walk outside the house? ”

Hearing this, Le Yan raised her head slightly, glanced at Meng Zhong with a slightly strange gaze, and then lowered her head and whispered, "Hmm." ”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards Meng Zhong with her head down.

"What's wrong with my proposal?"

Even though Meng Zhongdang, who was quite thoughtful, noticed that Le Yan's reaction was a little strange, he didn't react for a while, until he turned around and walked out of the door of the hall and saw the thick snow outside the house that had not yet melted, and he suddenly realized.

Suddenly realized, he stood outside the threshold and hesitated, then turned around and said to Le Yan who was standing behind him: "It seems to be quite cold outside the house, or it's still inside the house?" ”

When Meng Zhong, who was a little embarrassed, looked back and found that Le Yan, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but smile, even if he lowered his head, Meng Zhong could still see the sweet smile on her face.

Immediately, she whispered, "It's out of the way." …… The slave family also happened to want to take a walk outside the house. ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong couldn't help but glance at the clothes Le Yan was wearing.

In this era, the clothes worn by men and women are generally called "clothes", and clothes refer to the upper garment, and the lower garment and lower skirt refer to both men and women. [PS: Ancient men also wore skirts, and it was a more formal dress, before the reform of Zhao Wuling's Hufu cavalry, the Central Plains did not have the concept of "pants", which belonged to Hufu. 】

If you subdivide it further, what Le Yan is wearing at this time is a kind of clothing called "(curved) deep clothes", which has only been around for about one or two hundred years since its birth. [PS: Deep clothes are divided into curved skirts and straight skirts, the former was born early, after the concept of pants appeared, and then the straight skirts appeared, I personally think that the curved deep clothes are good-looking, and the curvaceous figure of the woman is more graceful, please understand by yourself if you are interested in books. 】

Slightly different from the traditional clothing of the old days, "deep clothes" refers to a kind of clothing in which the top and bottom are cut separately and then sewn together.

For example, in traditional clothes, the top is generally in the right color, that is, the five primary colors of green, red, yellow, white, and black, while the bottom is in the middle color, that is, the mixed color of these five primary colors; The color of the dark clothes is more bright and changeable.

For example, in terms of style, traditional clothes are generally mostly small sleeves, and the length of the dress is usually at the knee, while the new type of one-piece clothing of the deep coat is slightly widened cuffs, and the length of the dress is usually around the ankle, which is characterized by making the body deeply hidden, which is the so-called deep body, so it is called deep clothing.

Compared with traditional clothes, deep clothes are more graceful and elegant. [PS: The prototype of Hanfu. In addition, the curly skirt and straight skirt only refer to one style, and the deep clothes or Hanfu refer to the clothes in general, so that there is a misunderstanding that "a certain improved curved skirt is not considered Hanfu". 】

At this moment, the (curved) deep coat worn by Le Yan is made of white, as for the edge of the clothes, that is, the edge of the clothes, it is made of red fabric sewn with black lines, as for the position of the bottom, it is a red skirt, the waist is narrow and the edge of the hem is wider, when Le Yan walks, it can be vaguely seen that there is still a little white in her red skirt - Meng Zhong guessed that there may be a white dark coat under the dark clothes of red and white and black.

After all, it is still winter at this time, and it is very common to repeatedly wear a few clothes to resist the cold, and in the case of Meng Zhong, he also wears two sets of robes, but there is one more shirt (pants) purchased in Zhao State - as for Le Yan, contemporary women should also wear a close-fitting coat in addition to the wider robes.

All in all, as far as the robe on Le Yan's body at the moment is concerned, Meng Zhong really thinks it looks good, it is refreshing and atmospheric, graceful and elegant, and it is worthy of being a lady from the Le family.

may have felt that she had been stared at by Meng Zhong for a long time, Le Yan's face became more and more blushing, her head was lowered, and her jaw was almost hanging down to her chest.

"No, don't you go outside?" She asked in a voice like a mosquito, with a thick shyness in her tone.

"Oh, yes." Meng Zhong nodded immediately, and suddenly realized that his act of looking at the other party's clothes was actually quite rude, and he couldn't help coughing to relieve his embarrassment.

Then, Meng Zhong slowly walked outside the house, while Le Yan followed behind him with her head down.

Considering that the deep clothes worn by women were different from those of men, and the waist and legs of the clothes were relatively narrow, which was inconvenient for brisk walking, Meng Zhong also slowed down his pace and walked on the path of the inner courtyard with Le Yan as if he were relaxed.

"Is it cold?"

Meng Zhong suddenly stopped and asked.

"Nope." Le Yan shook her head, lowered her head and whispered.

At this time, several servants and servants in the courtyard came to meet them, and when they saw Meng Zhong and Le Yan walking in front of them, they were all stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly detoured, not daring to stop these two.

But during this time, these people inevitably whispered, and some even secretly watched from a distance, which made Meng Zhong feel that this was not a good place to talk.

And just when he was distressed, he suddenly heard Le Yan behind him whisper: "There is a vegetable garden in the west of the house, there are no crops at the moment, there should be no one ......"

"Oh, okay, let's go there."

Meng Zhong nodded, and took Le Yan to the vegetable garden that the latter said.

I saw that the vegetable garden was covered with thick snow at the moment, so that when I came over there, Meng Zhong took a look, and there was a white expanse all around, the scenery was really good, and more importantly, the field of vision here was wide, even if the servants and servants of Le Yan's family intended to look secretly, they didn't dare to get too close.

At this time, Meng Zhong stopped, turned his head to face Le Yan, and after thinking about it, introduced himself: "I...... His name is Meng Zhong, and his family lives on the southeast side of Mengyi, and he also has a mother and a younger sister at home......"

Le Yan was a little puzzled at first, raised her head and looked at Meng Zhong in confusion, but she understood when she listened to it, and after Meng Zhong finished speaking, she nodded and said softly: "Well, the slave family knows." Well...... In the two years that you have been absent from Mengyi, the slave family has been to Mengyi and has also visited...... Aunt & ...... Sister Mengyan. ”

"I've heard about it."

Meng Zhong smiled and said, "According to my mother, you also brought the servants of the family to help my family with farming and harvesting, thank you very much." ”

"No, not to be grateful, I just heard about you...... Only my aunt and sister Meng Yan are there in the family, so ......" she lowered her head and whispered with her cheeks crimson: "As long as you don't think I'm troublesome......"

I have to say that when this matter was mentioned, Le Yan was really shy in her heart.

In all fairness, if as a daughter-in-law, you find some servants from your mother's family as helpers to help your mother-in-law's family farm and harvest in the autumn, which is nothing, but a daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, and only a woman who only speaks verbally as a matchmaker, takes the initiative to bring her mother's servants to help her mother-in-law's family, which is indeed quite a rare thing.

Thanks to Meng Zhong's mentorship and connections, Le Yan's parents, Le Guo and Xiang's couple, both hope to promote this marriage, so they turn a blind eye to these things done by the third daughter, otherwise they will be replaced by others, and I believe that the woman's parents will never allow it - indeed, what is this called!

"Anyway, thank you very much."

Meng Zhong said with a smile, and after thinking about it, he said, "There is something, I think I should apologize to you in person...... Three years ago, when the elders of my clan mentioned this marriage to my mother, I went to Zhao shortly thereafter, and I never gave you or you an explanation...... But I didn't expect that I would go to Zhao Guo for nearly three years, so that I delayed you for three years...... I'm sorry. ”

"......" Le Yan lowered her head when she heard this, and bit her lip gently.

To say that she has no resentment towards Meng Zhong in her heart, this is of course false.

After all, in the past three years, she has been bound by the marriage contract with Meng Zhong, so that she is now nineteen years old and has not yet married, and I don't know how many people in the neighborhood are gossiping behind her back, and there is even no shortage of groundless speculation with disgust, so that she suffers from those gossips for no reason.

But these resentments had vanished when Meng Zhong agreed to the marriage in front of her mother Xiang in front of her, and were replaced by a kind of joy that seemed to have come from bitterness, or panic and shyness that she was about to marry someone.

After thinking about it, she whispered comfortingly: "Man...... Career-oriented. You...... It's not that you dislike the slave family, the slave family is already quite content......"

"Disliked? No, I just thought it was too young at the time...... "Meng Zhong explained.

"Huh?" Le Yan looked up in bewilderment.

"I mean your age at the time." Meng Zhong explained again.

As a result, it was okay that he didn't explain, but after explaining, Le Yan's expression became more and more strange, biting her lip as if she couldn't help laughing.

Of course, she knew that her future husband in front of her was actually a year younger than her, although this was a fairly suitable age in local customs, but she didn't expect that the future husband in front of her would think that she was too young at that time.

I have to say that this made her feel a little funny, but in order not to be rude, she still endured it and asked curiously, "You...... Do you like older women? Well, I'm afraid it's hard to find, as far as the slave family knows, ordinary daughters get married at the age of fifteen or six, unless it's some ...... Uh......"

"No, no, no."

Seeing that Le Yan misunderstood what she meant, Meng Zhong explained: "It's not just that you were young at the time, but that you and I, who got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, are still a bit early in my opinion." …… But I'm sorry for delaying you for three years. ”

Le Yan glanced at Meng Zhong strangely, after all, as far as she knew, the women in the contemporary Song Kingdom basically got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and her two sisters also married at this age, but she was the only one who had not yet married at the age of nineteen, which caused a lot of gossip and gossip.

Shaking her head, she whispered, "As long as it...... If you don't regret your marriage, it's okay to be three years earlier or three years late......"

"Don't you blame me?"

"Father said, you went to Zhao to do great things, although the slave family has never studied anything, but they also know that men should focus on career ambitions, how can they blame you for this...... It's just that in the past few years, some idlers have gossiped and gossip, and the slave family felt a little harsh after hearing it......" said, she seemed to realize that this was as if she was complaining, and hurriedly saluted: "The slave family is rude." ”

Of course Meng Zhong didn't care, in his opinion, he delayed Le Yan for three years, even if Le Yan had any complaints, it was normal - who would have no complaints?

After thinking about it, he said to Le Yan: "Regarding my marriage to you, I think there are some things I have to say first......

As soon as she heard this, Le Yan's heart suddenly rose, and she said a little nervously: "Please, please speak." ”

I saw Meng Zhong ponder for a moment, and Zhengse said: "Maybe you don't know, the situation in my Song State is not optimistic at present, I went to Zhao State two years ago, in addition to improving my knowledge, the main purpose is to stabilize the alliance between Zhao State and my Song State, but...... I failed and fled back to the Song Kingdom in disarray. Now our Song State has no allies, but the Qi State is eyeing our country. Some time ago, I led troops to fight in the area of Qiyang to assist the crown prince Daiwu to resist the Qi army, and when the winter truce, I also took the time to go to Tengxian and Xueyi, and saw with my own eyes that the local corpses were all over the field, including many Song people who were slaughtered by the Qi army...... Will there be any eggs under the nest? If the Song Kingdom is in danger, then the Mengshi and Le Clans may not be able to be saved, so in the future, I may leave the Song Kingdom and go to the Wei State or the Chu State...... Well, it's more likely to go to Wei......"

“……”

Le Yan blinked a pair of bright eyes, as if she understood what Meng Zhong said.

At first, when she saw Meng Zhong put on a serious face, she thought that Meng Zhong had something to ask of her, but after listening to it for a while, she realized that it was not what she expected at all.

“…… Even so, will you marry me? Meng Zhong looked at Le Yan seriously.

Hearing this, Le Yan was angry and funny.

was so angry that Meng Zhong knew that he had delayed her for three years, and now he actually asked her this-she was a nineteen-year-old girl, what choice did she have left besides marrying the man in front of her?

It's funny that Meng Zhong would put on such a serious face for this matter, you must know that in this era, it is common for men to run away from home, and women to run the family business at home, take care of their in-laws and husband's younger siblings, which is commonplace.

Under this angry and funny mood, she even felt that the shyness in her heart was reduced a little, and she lowered her head and whispered: "As long as you don't abandon each other......"

"So ......"

After thinking about it, Meng Zhong arched his hand towards Le Yan, and said with a bit of a smile: "Please ...... in the future Please take care of it. ”

"Poof—"

Seeing Meng Zhong saying such things so formally, Le Yan couldn't help laughing, and after hiding her mouth with her sleeves and laughing, she also responded with a salute, looked directly at Meng Zhong for the first time with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said softly: "The rudeness of the slave family, please also ...... Don't be surprised. ”

After that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, although they were still uncomfortable getting along because of the first meeting, but fortunately, they had a very good start.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden laughter in the distance.

Meng Zhong and Le Yan subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to find that under a tree not far away, Le Jin, Le Xu, Meng Hu, Meng Sui, Le Yi, Rong Yan and others came here at some point, obviously seeing Meng Zhong and Le Yan, the future little couple, saluting each other on the snow at the moment and feeling funny.

"Ah Zhong, Sister Yan'er, the etiquette of marriage can't be so hasty...... It's better to wait a few days, and it won't be too late for the two of you to salute each other after the two families are ready. Lejin laughed in the distance.

Suddenly, Le Yan's face turned red, and she lowered her head and bit her lip lightly.

And Meng Zhong also felt embarrassed on his face.

In fact, his original intention was just to confirm the relationship with Le Yan, and ask Le Yan to take care of the family more in the future, after all, he and Le Yan met not long ago, and there will definitely be some friction between each other in the future, and it will not be wrong to be polite after all.

But Le Jin's words made Meng Zhong and Le Yan feel very embarrassed, after all, in the number of wedding ceremonies, there is also a link of husband and wife worshipping each other, which is intended to hope that the husband and wife will respect each other like guests and Mo Sheng after marriage.

And when Le Jin said that at this moment, it made it feel as if Meng Zhong and Le Yan couldn't wait for each other, in short, it was very embarrassing.

"Ah Hu, help me teach him a lesson!"

In order to relieve the embarrassment, Meng Zhong shouted at Meng Hu from a distance.

In fact, Meng Hu was also one of the coaxers, but after listening to Meng Zhong's words, he turned into a person who seemed to be on Meng Zhong's side, so that Le Jin was chased by him everywhere.

"Bastard, Ah Hu, aren't we in this group?"

"Didn't you see that Ah Zhong was angry? I'm stupid to join you ......"

"You are so despicable!"

"Hahaha......"

In the laughter and scolding of Meng Hu and Le Jin, Meng Zhong and Le Yan slowly walked towards Meng Sui, Le Xu, Le Yi and others one after the other.

It may be that seeing that Meng Zhong was still grim at the moment, Le Xu hurriedly explained with a smile: "Ah Zhong, it's not that we came to peep on purpose, it's just that it's almost time, and the patriarch told me to wait until the ancestral house for a banquet......"

According to Le Xu's explanation, they were originally ordered by the patriarch of the Le clan, Le Guo, to invite Meng Zhong and Le Yan to the ancestral house for a banquet, after all, the elder was recommended, and Meng Zhong's mother, Ge Shi, is currently on the ancestral house.

Later, when Le Xu came to the hall of the patriarch's house, he found that Meng Zhong and Le Yan were still here, and after asking the servants in the house, they learned that Meng Zhong and Le Yan had come to this vegetable garden, so they came to this side, and they happened to see Meng Zhong and Le Yan chatting quite speculatively.

In order not to disturb the atmosphere of Meng Zhong and Le Yan at this moment, Le Jin and the others hid behind this tree, and by the way, they peeked at what the two young couples who were about to get married were talking about.

It's a pity that because the two places are a little far apart, and Meng Zhong and Le Yan speak softly, even if Le Jin, Le Xu, Meng Hu, Meng Sui and others eavesdrop with bated breath, they can't hear anything, but the scene where Meng Zhong and Le Yan salute each other is really seen by them, so these people who don't know the truth can't help laughing.

“…… If you don't believe it, ask Ah Sui and Ah Yi. ”

After listening to Le Xu's words, Meng Sui and Le Yi both nodded with smiles: "That's right. ”

Among them, Meng Sui and Le Yi were still partial to Meng Zhong, so they opposed Meng Hu, Le Jin and others to come to snoop, but they didn't expect them to see a rather interesting scene.

At this time, Meng Hu in the distance had already dragged Le Jin back.

It can be seen that Lejin's strength is not as good as Menghu, so that he was easily dragged back by the latter.

When he walked in front of Meng Zhong, Meng Hu said as if he had made a meritorious service: "Ah Zhong, the enemy general has been caught, how to deal with it?" In my opinion, it is better to kill it, right? ”

"Hu, you bastard." Le Jin couldn't help laughing and scolding when he heard this: "Ah Zhong, I report, Ah Hu is the one who laughs the loudest, he is a spy!" ”

On the side, Meng Sui sneered: "I don't think the two are good things, so it's better to cut them all." ”

"Seconded." Le Yi also interjected with a smile.

"Ah Sui, Ah Yi, you two are too much!"

"That's it! …… When I secretly watched, I didn't see you two close your eyes! ”

Under the attack and annihilation of Meng Sui and Le Yi, Meng Hu and Le Jin suddenly united.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss."

Meng Zhong stopped a group of friends from fighting, looked back at Le Yan, who was still flushed, and said, "In this way, you go to the ancestral house first, Le Xu, you stay and help me lead the way." …… Lejin, I'll talk ahead of you, if you say something out of place later......"

"No, no."

Le Jin said with a grin, after all, he is a person who knows how to measure.

So, Le Jin took Meng Hu, Meng Sui, Le Yi, and Rong Yi to the ancestral house, while Le Xu stayed and went with Meng Zhong and Le Yan.

In this arrangement, firstly, Meng Hu and Le Jin are too noisy, and secondly, Meng Zhong also considered that Le Yan might add clothes or something, after all, Le Yan looks like a very weak look.

That night, the patriarch of the Le clan, Le Guo, set up a banquet in the ancestral house to entertain the guests who came today.

Needless to say, the elder of the Mengshi clan is the ancestor of the Mengshi clan and the Ge family, Meng Zhong, and Meng Yan's family, the former is the ancestor of the Mengshi clan, and he is a friend of Le Guo who has known each other for decades, and as for the latter, it is the future in-law and son-in-law.

As for Meng Hu, Meng Sui, Le Yi and other young people, Le Guo also used the specifications of entertaining guests to entertain, after all, although Meng Hu and others did not look at the weak crown, they all served as pawn commanders (hundred generals) in Zhao Guo, and they were young people who had experienced the battlefield several times, and they didn't need to think about it to know that the future was limitless.

It was also at the banquet that night that Meng Jian, Ge Shi, and Le Guo finalized the marriage date of Meng Zhong and Le Yan, and decided to let Meng Zhong and Le Yan get married after this year's spring ploughing.

In this way, both families have enough time to invite guests, and it will not affect the spring ploughing.

After all, Meng Zhong had a few guests he wanted to invite, and the distance was still relatively far, such as Hui Ang and Tian Zhang, his two brothers-in-law, and Mencius......

"Do you want to invite Mencius?"

He hesitated as he thought about it.

First of all, his teacher Zhuangzi was sure to invite him, and Zhuangzi would definitely come with a face, and then invite Mencius in this case......

"It should be fine."

Meng Zhong muttered to himself.
