Ke Gan: "What Master Cheng taught me is that I will immediately ask Master Meng to hand over all the documents to Master Meng to handle this case." ”

Cheng Ziyi: "Tianchu, I think it's better to leave this matter to Lord Ke to handle, although Lord Ke's previous method may not work, but if you go to Beijing in person to negotiate with the people of the Criminal Department, you don't need to go, anyway, in ten days, we will all enter Beijing, but this matter can't be delayed any longer, you give Master Ke a chance to make up for it." ”

Meng Tianchu saw Cheng Ziyi's meaningful eyes, thought about it, and nodded, Ke Gan said: "Yes, Master Meng, you will hand it over to the humble position, and you will definitely not disappoint you and Lord Cheng." ”

Cheng Ziyi: "Then you can do it." ”

Ke Qian retreated tremblingly, walked to the door, and said: "By the way, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and I will prepare some good osmanthus wine and moon cakes for the two adults, and let the inner man send them to the two adults in the afternoon." ”

Cheng Ziyi: "It's really embarrassing to be like this every year." ”

Ke Gan: "Be careful." If you don't pay respect, I hope that the two adults will laugh and resign. ”

Cheng Ziyi waved his hand, and Ke Qian disappeared in front of the door.

Meng Tianchu: "Master Cheng, why did you just ask Master Ke to handle the He Ding case?" ”

Cheng Ziyi patted Meng Tianchu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "A lot of things, you will slowly figure it out by yourself in the future, don't think so much, I'm for your good." Meng Tianchu thanked him.

Cheng Ziyi: "By the way, has Xiaonuo been having trouble with you recently?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "No? ”

Cheng Ziyi: "This girl suddenly changed her sex, she didn't go out of the door for a day, and stayed at home all day, I originally thought it would be good, but if this is the case, I was worried." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't say anything, and said: "I probably know that I have grown up and will soon become a wife." Be well-behaved, so that you and your wife don't have to worry about it. ”

Cheng Ziyi shook his head. The two of them walked out of the door, and Cheng Ziyi said: "You don't know Xiaonuo, she has been very naughty since she was a child, and she can't stop for a moment." Suddenly, I think she has something on her mind, when are you going to ask her, okay? ”

Meng Tianchu: "I know." ”

Cheng Ziyi: "Also, how is your second lady's health?" I heard Xiaonuo say that your second lady seems to be in a very bad mood, you have to comfort me more. Xiaonuo's mother was when Xiaonuo was ten years old. I was pregnant with a child. Just because of some small things, the child is gone, and her mood has not improved for several years, you should also pay attention. ”

Meng Tianchu: "I know." ”

Cheng Ziyi: "Okay, you don't have to ask about He Ding's case, Ke Qian is not a fool, he naturally understands the power, if he can't handle it, he is afraid that you will clean him up." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled.

Meng Tianchu left Cheng Ziyi's study. When he came to Xiaonuo's room, he saw Xiaonuo lying on the window alone in a daze, so he walked over with a smile, but Xiaonuo didn't find Meng Tianchu, and looked ahead alone. His eyes looked a little melancholy.

"Xiao Nuo. What do you think? ”

Xiaonuo came back to his senses and looked up. Seeing that it was Meng Tianchu, he only gently pulled the corners of his mouth, sat up straight, and said softly: "It turned out to be Brother Meng, why are you here?" ”

Meng Tianchu stood in front of the window and said, "I went to your father to talk about things just now, and after I finished speaking, I came to see you." ”

Xiaonuo gently wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and said, "Three days later, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, time flies so fast, my sister left home for the first time, I don't know if the Mid-Autumn Festival will miss me, my father and my mother." ”

Meng Tianchu saw Xiaonuo's melancholy appearance, so he deliberately smiled and said, "Yes, or I'll take you to a very interesting place, don't you stay at home all day, how boring?" ”

Xiaonuo shook his head and said, "I don't want to go anywhere, besides, you've been so busy lately, don't deliberately come to accompany me, go and accompany Sister Wen Wen more, her child is gone, she must be very sad." ”

Meng Tianchu walked into the room, only to find that Xiao Nuo was kneeling on the stool, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Xiao Nuo and put it on the stool, Xiao Nuo's face turned red, and he lowered his head and pretended to look at the champa in his hand.

Meng Tianchu pretended not to notice, sat next to Xiaonuo, and saw that she was playing with the champa in her hand, so he said, "What pattern is on your champa?" ”

Xiaonuo: "I like lilies, so I show them well." ”

Meng Tianchu: "I see most of the girls showing flowers or mandarin ducks, birds, butterflies or whatever. ”

Xiao Nuo chuckled and said, "Lord Meng is still very careful, but I heard my mother say that women who have not come out of the pavilion are generally not allowed to show flowers, plants, insects and birds with special meanings. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then you can't show off this lily, lily means a hundred years of good harmony." ”

Xiaonuo blushed and said, "I only show myself, and I didn't give it to anyone, what's there?" ”

Meng Tianchu suddenly remembered that the purple champa he picked up behind the Keqian rockery that day looked like a butterfly, so he said: "By the way, if it is a butterfly, is there any special meaning?" ”

Xiaonuo smiled and shook his head, and said, "Then I don't know, probably because that woman has a butterfly in her name, or maybe the man she likes likes butterflies, I don't know, I don't know as much about these as Brother Meng." ”

Meng Tianchu: "You laugh at me!" ”

Xiao Nuoyou giggled and said, "What I said is true. ”

Meng Tianchu saw Xiaonuo smiling, so he took the opportunity to say: "I have been deliberately keeping your distance from me recently, did I make you angry?" ”

Xiaonuo was smiling, and suddenly Meng Tianchu asked, he was stunned for a moment, then his smile was gone, and he said, "No." ”

Meng Tianchu: "We said before, don't have any secrets between us, but I really see that you are unhappy, why?" ”

Xiaonuo thought for a while and said, "Tianchu, what do you think is true love?" ”

Meng Tianchu felt very strange when he heard Xiao Nuo call himself like this for the first time, and said, "Little girl, what are you thinking about all day?" ”

Xiao Nuo looked at Meng Tianchu. "Don't interrupt, I'm asking you this question seriously." If you don't want to answer me, don't talk to me anymore. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Xiaonuo was looking at him seriously, and knew that Xiaonuo was not joking with him, so he said, "Can I ask you a question first?" ”

Xiaonuo: "Yes. You ask. ”

Meng Tianchu: "In your opinion, what is true love?" ”

Xiaonuo smiled and asked jokingly, "What, my question is stumped on you, do you still want to find your own answer from my answer?" ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head, got up and walked to the window, pointing to the osmanthus flowers that were blooming very well outside the window. said: "Do you know why I like osmanthus?" ”

Xiaonuo: "If you don't want to answer my question, you can leave." Don't interrupt me. ”

Meng Tianchu: "I didn't interrupt, in fact, liking flowers and liking a person are the same, there is no difference." If you like a flower, you will not change your liking for it because of the season, nor will you change your liking for it because of the appearance of other more colorful or delicate flowers. ”

Xiaonuo: "Then you can like osmanthus at the same time, do you also like other flowers, such as roses?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "Yes." ”

Xiaonuo smiled, but the smile was very cold. said: "Then is the osmanthus your true love, or the rose is your true love." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Don't confuse concepts. ”

Xiaonuo: "It's you confusing the concept because you don't know what true love is. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Okay, don't discuss this issue, I'll just tell you." There is no truth or falsehood in love. Love is love, and where there is any true love and false love. ”

Xiaonuo: "Then you don't have a favorite person?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "Xiaonuo." Tell me, what the hell are you thinking? You can tell me what happened. ”

Xiaonuo: "No, there's nothing to do, let's go." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Okay, then I'll tell you, I love my four ladies, but if you say the favorite, I'll tell you the truth, there is no favorite." ”

Xiao Nuo thought for a while, motioned for Meng Tianchu to sit beside him, and said, "Do they know what you think?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Do you think I can tell them?" ”

Xiaonuo: "Then why are you telling me?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "It was you who persecuted me. ”

Xiao Nuo smiled and said, "Brother Meng, do you know? I've always hoped to meet a man like my father, who will only love my mother for the rest of his life, and you tell me, am I a fool and never find such a man? ”

Meng Tianchu: "Xiaonuo, you are still young, you can find a man who loves you." ”

Xiaonuo: "I mean I only love me. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "Don't give up, I think there is always hope." ”

Xiao Nuo sighed and said, "It's either that it's late or it's early." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Don't always feel like this, you haven't seen your future husband yet, why are you pessimistic?" ”

Xiaonuo: "I don't want to get married, no one wants to get married." ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Xiao Nuo leaned his head on Meng Tianchu's shoulder, and said after a while: "You don't understand me, you will understand in the future." ”

Someone was talking outside the door, Xiao Nuo quickly lifted his head from Meng Tianchu's shoulder, sat up straight, and soon Mrs. Cheng walked in, seeing Meng Tianchu there, she was a little surprised at first, and then greeted Meng Tianchu with a smile.

Meng Tianchu hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and Mrs. Cheng said: "Tianchu, you can sit down, I just came to find an embroidered look, and you accompany Xiaonuo." ”

Xiaonuo immediately said: "No, mother, Brother Meng is just passing by, and there is nothing else to look for me." ”

Meng Tianchu: "That's it, I'm going to go back and have a look." ”

Mrs. Cheng: "By the way, I heard Xiaonuo say gentle..., I have already asked someone to send her some supplements, such a thing, it is inconvenient for me to see her, you can greet her on my behalf." ”

Meng Tianchu arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Cheng." ”

Mrs. Cheng: "Actually, we are also a family, don't be so polite, by the way, I have another good news to tell Xiaonuo." ”

Xiao Nuo didn't seem interested. Leaning back in his chair lazily, he said, "But whose lady sent some good rouge?" Whoever sent me some nice silk, I'm not interested, mother. ”

Mrs. Cheng first looked at Meng Tianchu, and then said with a smile: "Look at what you said." Since you don't want to hear it, I'll go back and tell Xiaowei that her sister wants her to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival at all. ”

Xiao Nuo and Meng Tianchu let out an exclamation at almost the same time, Meng Tianchu felt rude and quickly covered his mouth, Xiao Nuo almost stood up, Mrs. Cheng smiled and hurriedly helped Xiao Nuo up. Said: "What are you so excited about. Isn't it not interested? ”

Xiaonuo's eyes widened, and she said happily to Mrs. Cheng, "Mother, what did you say?" Is it true that my sister is coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival? ”

Mrs. Cheng still smiled and nodded, Xiao Nuo believed that her ears had heard correctly, and said excitedly: "How is it possible? Isn't it possible to save land after having a royal heir? It's only been so long since my sister left, no..., no, isn't it true that Lord Banzai doesn't like his sister anymore? ”

Mrs. Cheng said angrily: "Bah. Tong Yan Wuji, what words come out of your mouth is not good, it is long live the lord who sees your sister homesick, and does not want to eat or drink, and the long live lord is distressed. Only then did I make an exception and agree that your sister would come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Anyway, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you, your father and your brother Meng want to enter Beijing together? At that time, Xiaowei will go back with you again. ”

Xiao Nuo listened. happily hugged Mrs. Cheng and couldn't wait to rush out the door now, and said loudly: "Isn't that sister here the day after tomorrow?" Mother, why did you tell me now? ”

Mrs. Cheng: "Okay, okay, be careful of the injuries on your feet, you will be injured for a hundred days, look at your appearance, I'm really worried!" I also just learned from your father, saying that it will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and when the time comes, all the civil and military officials in Hangzhou will go to greet it. ”

Xiaonuo: "So grand? ”

Mrs. Cheng said proudly: "That's! Your sister is now a virtuous concubine, and in the palace, except for Empress Zhang and a concubine Zhuang, your sister is high and noble. ”

Meng Tianchu saw the happiness of the mother and daughter, so he secretly said goodbye, but he thought about the part where Jia Yuanchun visited his relatives when he watched "Dream of Red Mansions" in the past, which was a grand scene, and there was a poem specifically written: "The wine is drunk and calls the slave back, and he suddenly misses the hometown and has not returned for a long time. The phoenix algae is deep and the light shadow is power, and the xia is covered with a gorgeous cover for the virtuous concubine. Can tranquility have a peaceful day? How do you know the conversion outside the palace? I only hope that the epiphany will bloom for a long time, and the three springs will be reported to Jinfu frequently. "It's Jia Yuanchun.

But then think about it, why does Xiaowei go home to save his relatives, why do you have to go to the door of the house, and everyone knows? It seems that it is far less magnificent than Jia Yuanchun at that time, they are all concubines, but they have the treatment of heaven and earth.

Meng Tianchu thought that the person had unconsciously entered the east courtyard, but saw that Zuo Jiayin's courtyard was full of people, and hurriedly stepped forward, thinking that something had happened to Gentle Gentle, and when he got closer, he couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that Gentle was holding a wooden stick, a maid was only wearing a dirty clothes, a pair of silk trousers, and a tray in his hand, a bowl of water was placed on the tray, his hands were raised, he smiled softly and gloomily, and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to spill a drop of water in the bowl, I will let you stand naked at the door of the Governor's Palace." ”

Meng Tianchu thought about it, looked around, there was no shadow of Feiyan and Xia Fengyi, turned around and called a maid to call Xia Fengyi, and then saw Li Linjing on the side, so he asked her to step forward to dissuade her, but she didn't go up.

Li Linjing stepped forward and scolded gently: "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Linjing said respectfully: "Second lady, your body is not well yet, don't stand barefoot on the ground, it's not good for your health, it's better for the slave to help you go back to rest." ”

looked at Li Linjing with disdain and said, "Don't you dare to come forward to save people if you don't want you to do some three-legged cat kung fu, today is your Lord Meng who is here, and I want to take away the stick in my hand." ”

Meng Tianchu finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, and said, "Don't stand here and watch, everyone will disperse for me." ”

When everyone saw that it was Meng Tianchu coming, they quickly dispersed, and their gentle expressions also looked a little scared, but the stick in their hands did not let go.

Meng Tianchu said to Li Linjing: "Why are you still here, do you want everyone to see the jokes of the second lady?" ”

Li Linjing understood, took advantage of the gentleness, clicked on the gentle acupuncture point, and the gentleness suddenly let go, and collapsed in Li Linjing's arms, but said in his mouth: "Bold slave, I don't think you want to live anymore." ”
