Chapter 456: Temptation
Meng Tianchu didn't want to continue to entangle with Xiaowei in this place, a lonely man and a widow, the most important thing in front of him was a woman who was a long-lived man, and if she didn't get it, she would invite murder to herself, thinking of this, Meng Tianchu smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, people have too much helplessness in their lives, and they will make too many mistakes, and it is inevitable that they will not be enough, or, how can people make these mistakes that they regret afterwards?" ”
Xiao Wei is not a fool, so he naturally heard the overtone in Meng Tianchu's words, so he said: "Okay, you go, I want to stay here alone, every tree and flower here is more humane than a person, you can go." ”
Meng Tianchu paused and said, "That Weichen will retire and let the prince come to serve you." ”
Xiao Wei hadn't spoken yet, and suddenly a lightning bolt slashed down from the sky, Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately screamed and threw herself into Meng Tianchu's arms, Meng Tianchu didn't react, Xiao Wei had already hugged himself tightly.
"Concubine Xian, let go, if you let people see it, Weichen's life will be in danger."
Xiao Wei didn't seem to hear it, leaned his head on Meng Tianchu's arms, and said softly, "Brother Meng, I heard your heartbeat." ”
Meng Tianchu pushed Xiao Wei away, resolutely and powerfully, Xiao Wei took two steps back before standing firmly, looking at Meng Tianchu with an aggrieved face, Meng Tianchu was a little unbearable, so he persuaded him angrily: "Concubine Xian Niangniang, now that you are a person of Long Live Lord, Wei Chen should not think about you even if he has a thousand heads, or Wei Chen will send you back." ”
Xiao Wei sighed lightly, gently wrapped the green silk in front of her temples behind her ears with her fingers, habitually touched the pearl earrings on her ears, smiled, and said, "That's it, who made me already a woman of another man?" I'm probably really drunk, please don't laugh at Brother Meng. ”
Meng Tianchu: "Concubine Xian's words are outside, how dare Weichen." ”
Xiao Wei pointed to the depths of the corridor and said, "Let's go." ”
Meng Tianchu was puzzled, and looked back at the way it looked. He hasn't spoken yet. Xiaowei said: "It's going to rain soon, let's go back from the shortcut." ”
Meng Tianchu was not familiar with this landscape, and he had to be led by someone before he could come out, and when he saw Xiao Wei say this, he nodded and followed Xiao Wei towards the depths of the corridor.
"Brother Meng. Xiaonuo seems to be very unhappy lately, because of you, you know? ”
"Micro... Wechen didn't know. ”
Xiao Wei walked in front, and Meng Tianchu deliberately distanced a distance of one or two meters from her, worried that Xiao Wei would have any more behaviors and actions that exceeded the rules.
Xiao Wei looked back at Meng Tianchu and said, "Xiao Nuo said, you are good at everything." It's all too careful. I didn't think I was afraid of everything, but when I saw it today, I felt that what Xiaonuo said was not wrong, because the official title of prefect made you understand what it means to be too much to say, what is to protect yourself, and what is cautious? ”
Xiao Weidi's words were aggressive, Meng Tianchu was a little overwhelmed, and a muffled thunder rumbled over the heads of the two people. Xiao Wei didn't blink his eyes, and Meng Tianchu was a little suspicious that the lightning just now was deliberately acted by Xiao Wei.
Xiaowei simply stopped and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "What do you say?" ”
Xiaowei: "Then you admit it?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "It's going to rain soon, Concubine Xian Niangniang should hurry first, or wait for the rain to get you wet." It's not good to have a cold. ”
Xiaowei: "You don't say it today." I'm not leaving, I'm with you anyway. If I really catch a cold, it's also you, a courtier, who don't know how to take care of me and T-shirt, and you can do it yourself. ”
Meng Tianchu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, then let's find a place to shelter from the rain, are you optimistic?" ”
Xiao Wei finally smiled, walked over and took Meng Tianchu's hand, and said, "Follow me, I'll take you to a place." ”
Meng Tianchu wanted to break free from Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei glanced at Meng Tianchu meaningfully, grabbed his hand tighter, and said: "At this time, there will be no one else in the entire Jingyuan except for you and me." ”
Meng Tianchu saw that Xiaowei insisted, worried that the rain would fall for a while, so he had to let Xiaowei lead him away.
The two of them walked, and Xiaowei said, "Brother Meng, do you have a favorite poem?" ”
Meng Tianchu snorted and didn't speak.
Xiaowei: "Which one, can you tell me?" ”
Meng Tianchu thought about it, and Xiao Wei didn't know about a poem by Cangyang Gyatso, the sixth **** of Tibet, and said: "It's not a poem, it's just some favorite poems, which are not quite the same as poems, and they are not written by famous people, so it's better not to say it." ”
Xiao Wei refused, and said, "Tell me, did you write the land yourself?" ”
Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "How could it be? Naturally, I didn't write it. ”
Xiaowei: "Then you better tell me, let me listen to it too, and see if it sounds good." ”
Meng Tianchu used to think that Xiaowei was an open-minded and tolerant woman, but when she got along alone today, she felt that she was a woman in the end, and there was always a stubborn side of a woman, but this woman was also a woman she couldn't afford to offend.
Meng Tianchu: "Okay, then I'll tell you, don't laugh after listening." ”
Xiaowei: "How so? Go ahead. ”
Meng Tianchu thought for a while and said in a low voice:
"At that moment, I raised the wind horse, not to beg for blessings, but to wait for your arrival
That day, I closed my eyes in the incense mist of the scripture hall and suddenly heard the mantra in your chant
On that day, the mani pile was erected, not for the cultivation of virtue, but for the stones of the heart lake
That night, I listened to Sanskrit singing for a night, not for enlightenment, but for a trace of your breath
That month I shook all the prayer cylinders not for excess, but for touching your fingertips
That year, I kowtowed and crawled on the mountain road, not for the audience, but for the warmth of you
In that life, I turned mountains and rivers and pagodas, not for the sake of cultivating the next life, but just to meet you on the way
At that moment, I soared into an immortal, not for immortality, but for your peace and joy."
Xiao Wei listened and didn't speak for a long time, and the two of them held hands like this and walked towards the end of the corridor.
Meng Tianchu saw a small wooden house, Xiao Wei walked outside the door and shouted softly, "Uncle Zhong." ”
No one in the room spoke, and Xiao Wei gently pushed. The door opened. The furnishings in the room were very simple, except for a table, a bed, and some simple cooking utensils, and some gourds and dustpans hanging on the walls.
Meng Tianchu: "Why haven't I been to this place?" ”
Xiao Wei led Meng Tianchu into the house. Then he said: "This is Uncle Zhong's house, he has been living in the garden, this garden is so big, you haven't seen it very normal." ”
Meng Tianchu didn't expect Xiao Wei to lead himself to a more inexplicable place, seeing that Xiao Wei naturally sat on the bed, he was even more apprehensive, so he walked to the door. Looked at the sky. said: "Concubine Xian, didn't you say that we are taking a shortcut? I don't think it's raining yet, so let's go back and talk about it. ”
Xiao Wei got up and walked behind Meng Tianchu and said, "No one will know about this place, not even the subordinates of the Governor's Mansion don't know, only my father and mother and me and Xiao Nuo know, you can rest assured." Didn't you tell me the question I asked you before? Now you can tell me. ”
Meng Tianchu: "Did I tell you that we can go?" ”
Xiao Wei was suddenly annoyed. Said angrily: "What's the matter with you, are you so afraid to be with me?" I, Xiaowei, am not a tiger, and I won't eat you, what are you afraid of? ”
Meng Tianchu turned to look at Xiao Wei, and saw that her tears were about to come out. What Meng Tianchu is most afraid of in his life is women's tears. hurriedly said: "Concubine Xian, you..."
Xiaowei: "If you call me Concubine Xian again." I'll kill you. ”
Meng Tianchu had never seen Xiao Wei so stern, in Meng Tianchu's opinion, Xiao Wei was so gentle and elegant to everyone, and he was so humble, even his housekeeper Lao He Tou thought that Xiao Wei was so approachable, how could he come to himself and be so unreasonable?
Meng Tianchu: "Okay, then I won't shout, I just want to say, what you said is not unreasonable, I said before that no one is perfect, and it is normal to have shortcomings and shortcomings." ”
Xiao Wei gently pulled Meng Tianchu into the room, and then closed the door, Meng Tianchu said, "Xian..., Xiao Wei doesn't want to be here." ”
Xiao Wei smiled, walked up to Meng Tianchu, and said, "Brother Meng, you still call me Xiao Wei good, and in the future, when the two of us are concerned, you will still call me Xiao Wei, okay?" ”
Meng Tianchu looked at him left and right, and said, "I can be regarded as admitting your words, are you still satisfied with my answer?" Xiao Wei motioned for Meng Tianchu to sit down, this time she did not sit next to Meng Tianchu, but let Meng Tianchu sit on the stool in front of the table, and sat on the edge of the bed by herself, the two of them were separated by two meters, Meng Tianchu was a little more at ease.
Xiao Wei suddenly became serious and said, "This time I came back not only to visit my parents and Xiao Nuo, but also to be entrusted by the Long Live Lord to bring you a message." ”
When Meng Tianchu heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground to receive the order, Xiao Wei saw Meng Tianchu kneeling on the ground, his expression became serious, and said: "Long live the lord said, let you be the prefect of Hangzhou Mansion, the task is actually very heavy, but long live Lord knows that you have been cultivating yourself at home every day recently, and the affairs of the government are not on the right track, I am a little annoyed, I recently received a secret report, saying that the corruption and bribery of some county officials under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Government are serious, and there are even individual ********, and the scene of buying and selling official land is also very prominent, I hope you will verify it as soon as possible." ”
Meng Tianchu: "Weichen knows, and he will quickly investigate and report to the court." ”
Xiao Wei got up and walked to Meng Tianchu's side, squatted down and said, "In addition, there is one more thing, that is, Long Live Lord brought you some things this time, you need to see it yourself, I can't even see it." ”
Meng Tianchu raised his head and said, "Then please ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to show Weichen." ”
Xiao Wei pointed to his chest and said, "In my arms, you take it yourself." ”
Meng Tianchu was stunned, and couldn't help but sit on the ground, he didn't expect that the virtuous concubine Niangniang in front of people would be such a debauched and open woman behind people.
"Concubine Xian, you should spare me."
Xiao Wei didn't smile, looked at Meng Tianchu with a serious face, and said, "What I said is true, do you think I'm lying to you?" Those things are letters, I can only carry them with me, and now they are in my arms, do you want to resist the decree and disrespect, and don't you want to know what the Lord wants you to see? ”
Meng Tianchu felt that the sweat was coming out, and said, "Concubine Xian." Wechen, please. This is absolutely unacceptable. ”
Xiao Wei got up and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and tell Wan Sui Ye, you don't want to see these things, I'll give it to you and you won't take it." ”
Meng Tianchu listened to this, but hardened his heart. He also stood up and said coldly: "Then the virtuous concubine Niangniang still killed me, Weichen would rather die than do those things that are offensive and offensive." ”
Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "What, you're suddenly not afraid of death?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "It's not that I'm not afraid, but Weichen can't do those things that are sorry for the Long Live Lord." ”
Xiaowei: "Brother Meng." You do. Aren't you afraid to be sorry for me? Don't you know that I know how much I have for you? ”
Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly and said, "Everything is always not both, Xiaowei, I know you are good to me, but..., Long Live Lord is so good to you and me, we can't..."
After hearing this, Xiao Wei actually smiled and said, "Brother Meng." Long live Lord didn't misread you, and I didn't misread it, okay, the matter is over, let's go. ”
Meng Tianchu hadn't reacted yet. Seeing that Xiaowei had already walked to the door. Open the door and reach out. Signaling Meng Tianchu to go out, Meng Tianchu walked out of the door in confusion, Xiao Wei walked out of the door, closed the door, didn't say anything, walked in front of him, Meng Tianchu followed closely, I don't know what tricks this virtuous concubine is playing, but what I didn't expect was that Xiao Wei had nothing to say, and the two of them quickly walked to a small door, Xiao Wei stopped, opened the door, and said: "Out of this door, it is the East Courtyard." ”
Meng Tianchu didn't believe it, he took the first step, walked out to take a look, sure enough, it was the east courtyard, and not far in front was his own study, and he wondered in his heart, why didn't he pay attention to this small door before?
Xiao Wei stepped forward, the small door closed behind him, and Xiao Wei said, "Let's go, it's going to rain." ”
The two of them walked to a gazebo, and Xiao Wei said, "In the evening, Lord Jian invited our family to dinner, and Daddy meant to let you go too." ”
Meng Tianchu shirked and said: "Master Jian didn't invite me to go, it's not good for me to go, so I'd better not go." ”
Xiao Wei regained the appearance of the virtuous concubine, and no longer made Meng Tianchu coquettish and amused like before, but looked like she was high, inviolable, and said lightly: "Let's go, I'll go back first, and later, I'll ask the prince to come and call you." ”
Meng Tianchu thought about it, and finally couldn't help but speak, and said, "Concubine Xian, the letter that the Long Live Lord gave me, are you..."
Xiao Wei smiled, took out a letter from his arms, and said, "Here you go." ”
Meng Tianchu was still skeptical about this matter before, who would have thought that it was true, so was Xiao Wei testing himself for Wan Sui Ye just now, or did he really pretend to be crazy with wine to show his love, and then tease himself? But no matter what, if you stand firm, there's nothing wrong with that. Thinking of this, Meng Tianchu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again.
I thought it was just a passing rain, but who would have thought that it would rain for a day, and by the time it got dark, the rain hadn't stopped.
Xiao Wei still brought Meng Tianchu to Jian Qi's banquet in the end, Jian Qi naturally gave Meng Tianchu enough face on the surface, and looked very welcome, Xiao Wei also made it clear, saying that he let Meng Tianchu come to the land, and Jian Qi didn't dare to let a fart go.
But Meng Tianchu did not sit with Xiaowei and Cheng Ziyi and their family, but sat somewhere else, together with some other officials in Hangzhou, everyone's attitude towards Meng Tianchu was also very different, the people valued by the virtuous concubine Niangniang and the long-lived lord, who dared not pay attention to it, so Meng Tianchu did not feel bored, less than an hour after the banquet began, Meng Tianchu was a little drunk by the people who toasted back and forth, and many people on the table went to other tables to toast, and only Meng Tianchu and another old man in his fifties sat at a huge table, Probably drunk, dozing there, Meng Tianchu felt bored, got up alone except for the door of the hall, walked to the corridor to ventilate, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is still so hot, but after the rain, it is much cooler.
Meng Tianchu thought about the secret letter that Long Live Lord gave him, his brain was very messy, it turned out that what he thought and guessed was wrong, Long Live Lord gave himself such a difficult task to complete by himself, Meng Tianchu found that his heartbeat was speeding up, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke, he was just a small county Yadi criminal master, in the final analysis, he was doing hard work and miscellaneous work, and he didn't know whether to favor himself or make a joke on himself, and he actually gave himself four beautiful ladies first, Then there is the criminal master who has never entered the stream and has become the prefect of Hangzhou Mansion with four grades, these are things that ordinary people dare not think of, but they don't have time to think about it, these are all here, the reality is in front of him, Meng Tianchu can't help but believe it.
