Xiaowei: "Why? ”

Xiaonuo: "There are many reasons. ”

Xiaowei: "Tell me about it." ”

Xiaonuo: "First, Brother Meng promised his four wives, he only married five ladies, except for Sister Zhenxue, he will not marry anyone else." ”

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "What about that?" ”

Xiaonuo: "Our mother won't let me marry Brother Meng, she has always looked down on Brother Meng, even now that Brother Meng is the prefect of Hangzhou Mansion, she often says that when she passes by Brother Meng, she can smell the smell of dead people on Brother Meng." ”

Xiao Wei comforted: "Don't worry, you just need to tell my sister if you want to marry Brother Meng." ”

Xiao Nuo nodded shyly, Xiao Wei smiled, and said, "As long as you want, leave the rest to my sister." ”

Xiaonuo was surprised: "Sister, isn't it true that my father and mother have already agreed with the He family?" ”

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "As long as you don't go into the cave room with Na Heqi for a day, my sister has a way, but this is a secret between you and me, and I can't tell anyone, including my father and mother and Brother Meng, do you know?" ”

Xiaonuo nodded obediently.

Following

Meng Tianchu was still asleep, he was awakened by a noisy sound, turned his head to look, and found that Zuo Jiayin next to him was still asleep, so he relaxed a little, almost sleepless all night, and only fell asleep slightly at dawn, although there were no cases recently, Meng Tianchu thought that he could take a good rest, but found that where was the time to rest, it was really a time for women. There are many rights and wrongs. One night, Zuo Jiayin always woke up from a nightmare, and after he was woken up twice, he had no intention of sleeping again, I don't know if this home continues, this home still doesn't look like home.

In the past few months, Xue Xue resolutely refused to let Meng Tianchu go to see her, because it was said that Meng Tianchu could not see such a white thing, and said that it would touch her brows. Meng Tianchu secretly went to see her twice, and he didn't even let the door in, in fact, he was afraid that Meng Tianchu would be hurt again, now that he thinks about it, these women around him all love him, including that gentleness.

Meng Tianchu heard a rush of footsteps from far and near, thinking that he was looking for himself. I'm worried that I will wake up Zuo Jiayin. quickly got up and got out of bed, put on his coat and opened the door, and when he saw Feiyan coming, Meng Tianchu motioned for her to speak from afar, closed Zuo Jiayin's door, and then took Feiyan to talk outside the courtyard.

"What's the matter, what's going on in such a hurry?"

"Tianchu, no... Oh no, the gentleness is gone. ”

Meng Tianchu was taken aback. "What is she doing?" Why do you have to make such a fuss every time you get angry? Is it fun to run away from home? ”

Feiyan took out a note and handed it to Meng Tianchu, Meng Tianchu opened it and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "If I return, there will be no time in the future." ”

Meng Tianchu let out a long sigh. Take Feiyan out to the gentle courtyard. Seeing what Xia Fengyi and a few maids were talking about from a distance, Meng Tianchu approached. Xia Fengyi said: "I have already ordered someone to find it." ”

Meng Tianchu walked to the gentle room and took a look, and found that the clothes and jewelry were still there, and the bed was folded very neatly, so he shouldn't have slept all night.

Meng Tianchu called the gentle personal maid and asked, "Didn't you wait for the second lady to sleep last night?" ”

"Back to the master, the second lady hasn't slept when she was on the second watch, she has been sitting at the table, not crying or making trouble, and I don't know what to think, the slave and maid have been guarding, and then she let the slave and maid go to sleep, you also know that the second lady has been in a bad mood recently, and the slave and maid didn't dare to say more, so they had to leave."

Meng Tianchu: "Is that when you found out that the second lady was not there?" ”

Xia Fengyi stepped forward and said, "It's not her, it's me." ”

Meng Tianchu: "You? ”

Xia Fengyi nodded and said: "I thought about it all night, I always feel that gentleness has been pampered since childhood, and I haven't been angry, yesterday you swept her ground in front of so many people, she may not have figured it out, so as soon as the morning dawned, I asked someone to boil some bird's nest for her, I brought it myself, knocked on the door and didn't open it for a long time, I was worried that something would happen, so I let the next person knock the door open, and I didn't know until I knocked it open." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at the latch of the door, and sure enough, it was broken into two, and then took a closer look in the room, there was nothing unusual, so he walked to the door and found that there was an empty bowl on the stone table at the door.

"Who served Wen Wen Rou lately?"

A little girl stepped forward and replied cautiously, "Master, it's me." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at her, she quickly lowered her head, Meng Tianchu approached and asked, "When did you send this bowl of rice to the second lady?" ”

Xiao Yahuan: "The second lady is six times a day, once every two hours, and I sent this one last night when I was on the second watch." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help frowning, and said, "Then did the second lady drink this at that time?" ”

Xiaoyahuan: "I don't know. ”

Meng Tianchu: "You don't know? You serve the second lady to eat, don't you know? ”

Xiao Yahuan was frightened, and hurriedly said: "The master spares my life, it was the second lady herself who asked me to put the baby on the table, saying that she would come out to eat the land, and I left." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then you should send it again when you are on the fourth watch, why didn't you send it?" ”

The little girl immediately knelt on the ground and spared her life, and said: "Master, spare me, I haven't slept well in the past few days, I overslept last night, and when I woke up, it was already dawn, and I quickly went out to find that the eldest lady already knew that the second lady was not there. ”

Xia Fengyi walked up to the front and scolded sharply: "Little hoof, let you take care of the second lady for a long time, you actually overslept, someone is coming..."

Meng Tianchu stopped Xia Fengyi and said, "That's it, it's unbearable for you to let her stay alone for a few days, besides, there are already a lot of sleepiness in children, forget it, the key now is not to punish anyone, but to find gentleness as soon as possible, her body is not good yet." Don't have any accidents. ”

Xiao Yahuan hurriedly thanked her. After Meng Tianchu let her get up, he said to Xia Fengyi and Feiyan: "You let people go separately to find it, don't miss any place, let Chai Meng go to the four city gates and ask each other to see if she left the city before dawn, by the way, did you ask the foyer?" ”

Feiyan: "I asked, the main entrance is usually opened at the time of the hour." But I didn't see Gentleness go out, so I went to ask about the side door and the side door. ”

Feiyan walked away quickly, and Meng Tianchu said: "Don't gather around, don't worry about looking for it." ”

Xia Fengyi looked at Meng Tianchu worriedly, Meng Tianchu took the bowl and looked around, then looked around the bowl, and said, "This bowl of gentleness should be drunk on the ground." Because there was no spill mark around. You go and see if the gentle money is there. ”

Xia Fengyi: "I've seen it all, it's all there." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but sink in his heart, and said, "You are taking care of Jiayin at home, and I will also look for it." ”

Xia Fengyi: "Tianchu, where are you looking for it?" Where will Gentle go if she has no relatives and no reason in Hangzhou? ”

Meng Tianchu walked a few steps, turned around and said, "I don't know, but I want to see people and die..." Alas! Let's see the corpse when you die. ”

When Xia Fengyi heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and watched Meng Tianchu hurriedly walk out of the East Courtyard, still stunned in place.

Meng Tianchu called to slay the dragon, and the two of them were about to go out. At the door, I met Yin Susu, who was about to enter the door. Seeing that Meng Tianchu and Slayer Long looked in a hurry, she was dressed lightly, probably just after taking care of her brother and Ke'er's funeral and came back from the Yin family's cottage. The appearance of the wind and dust.

"Master Meng, where are you in a hurry?"

Meng Tianchu bowed his hand and said, "Go out for a while, are you coming back?" Things are going well, aren't they? ”

Yin Susu smiled indifferently and said, "Fortunately, the dead are all dead, don't we still have to continue to live well?" ”

Meng Tianchu's heart tightened, and said, "Yes, that girl should also rest, I will go out to do errands first." ”

Yin Susu saw that Meng Tianchu was in a hurry, and after not saying much, the two passed by, and suddenly Yin Susu stopped and said, "Are you going to find the second lady?" ”

Meng Tianchu immediately stopped when he heard this, and said in surprise: "How did the girl know? ”

Yin Susu saw that it was really true, so he hurriedly walked to Meng Tianchu's side and said: "I am also on the way back, because I am riding a horse alone at a relatively fast speed, I saw a woman on the road, alone, looking gentle, I thought I was wrong, I thought that at that time, gentleness should be sleeping at home, how could it be..."

Meng Tianchu: "Where did the girl meet her?" ”

Yin Susu saw that Meng Tianchu was so anxious, so he said: "It was probably an hour ago on the way back to the city from the cottage. ”

Meng Tianchu thought for a while and said, "Slay the dragon, let's go and chase it." Yin Susu caught up and said, "I'll go with you, I'm more familiar with that road than you." ”

Meng Tianchu: "The girl has worked hard all the way, or..."

Yin Susu said: "Okay, time waits for no one, I'm not sure if I can catch up with her, let's hurry up." ”

Meng Tianchu glanced at Yin Susu gratefully, and Yin Susu said to the people in the hall: "Change the horse, I will go out with Master Meng, and my horse has not eased up." ”

The servant was about to go, and someone behind him said, "Ride my horse to chase the wind." ”

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Cheng Ziyi, since the last time Meng Tianchu saw Cheng Ziyi and Xie Zihan staged on the Acacia Lake Pavilion, Meng Tianchu himself was a little embarrassed to see him.

Cheng Ziyi: "Look at what I do, I know everything, it's important to chase people, now that I know where people are, let's chase them quickly." ”

The subordinate said in embarrassment: "My lord, that horse of yours is your treasure, is it your war horse?" ”

Cheng Ziyi said: "Where is there so much nonsense, it is important to save people." ”

Meng Tianchu arched his hand and was about to speak, Cheng Ziyi said: "Go, save the people first." ”

Meng Tianchu had no choice but to turn around and go out with Yin Susu and Dragon Slayer.

Cheng Ziyi looked at their distant backs, couldn't help but sigh, turned around and saw Xiao Wei looking at him.

"Xiaowei, why did you get up so early?" Xiao Wei smiled and asked Wang Gonggong and Chen Xingpeng to step down. walked to Cheng Ziyi's side by himself. said, "Dad, are you still up so early?" ”

Cheng Ziyi affectionately patted Xiaowei's hand on his arm, and said, "Yes, as the saying goes, I couldn't wake up thirty years ago, and I can't sleep after thirty years, I'm in my forties, and I'm past the age of not waking up." But you have to sleep well, and after a woman sleeps well, she will look young. ”

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "It's rare to come back, how can you waste your good time in bed?" ”

Cheng Ziyi nodded and said, "Also, you have been very diligent. I know that. ”

The two of them walked slowly in the courtyard. Talk as you go.

Xiaowei: "What were you looking at just now?" ”

Cheng Ziyi: "Meng Tianchu's second wife ran away from home, don't you know?" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know she will run away from home." ”

When Xiao Wei said this, Cheng Ziyi was very surprised, and said, "You saw her leaving?" ”

Xiao Wei shook her head and said, "Why do I have to see her go with my own eyes, I talked to her yesterday." I knew she was going to leave the house. ”

Cheng Ziyi: "Why? ”

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, let's not talk about her." That's their Meng family's housework. We'd better be less careful. ”

Cheng Ziyi looked at his daughter and said, "Xiaowei." You seem to have changed. ”

Xiao Wei looked at her father with a smile and said, "Really? How do I not think? ”

Cheng Ziyi: "When your mother told me this last night, I didn't think it, but today I also found that you seem to have become rational and stable." ”

Xiao Wei leaned his head on his father's shoulder and said: "Dad, you must know that when you enter the palace, everything is not something you can do as you like, if you are not careful, you will be doomed. ”

Cheng Ziyi saw that a seventeen-year-old child actually said such vicissitudes of life, and couldn't help touching his daughter's head, and said: "Xiaowei, I have always been very reluctant to let you enter the palace, no matter who you marry outside, it is better than entering the palace, but I have never been able to figure out how you can like Long Live Lord, I used to think that what you liked was..., alas, don't mention it, it's already over, fortunately, Long Live Lord is also very good to you." ”

Xiaowei stopped and said solemnly to Cheng Ziyi: "Dad, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, although it is impossible now, I still want to ask you." ”

Cheng Ziyi said: "I know what you want to ask, since you asked today, then I will tell you, I have always liked Meng Tianchu, this child, smart, stable and kind, although I went back to the past and said that I would like to let you be a concubine for a master, I am really unwilling, but as long as you are willing and you insist, I will not object, because I know that he will have a chance, and the most important thing is that your happiness is the happiest thing to be a father." ”

Xiao Wei listened, leaned tightly in Cheng Ziyi's arms, Cheng Ziyi touched Xiao Wei's head, the two of them stood like this, did not speak for a long time, a lonely figure not far away looked at them, and shed tears, this person is none other than Xiao Wei's mother, Mrs. Cheng.

Meanwhile.

Meng Tianchu took the three people of Slaying Dragon and Yin Susu to each ride a horse, galloping on the official road to the Yin family's cottage, Meng Tianchu didn't understand that this road was not the way back to Beijing, Gentle was walking in the opposite direction, and Gentle didn't have a penny, how should I be good on the road? Why is this woman so fond of running away?

The sun has come out, Meng Tianchu and they are getting closer and closer to Acacia Lake, Meng Tianchu thought to himself, few people know that there is a fairyland Acacia Lake not far from this official road, and Gentle will not know, but no one saw a shadow along the way, and Meng Tianchu's mood became heavier and heavier.

Yin Susu: "Lord Meng, I saw the second lady not far away just now. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that it was the entrance of Acacia Lake, but there was no road in that place, and ordinary people would not know what other lake was there.

Meng Tianchu rode over and looked at the entrance, it was just a small road, because he had only been there with Xiaowei and Cheng Ziyi and Zihan the day before yesterday, so the grass was trampled on a lot, he hesitated, no one knows about this place, do you want to find it, if you go, wouldn't it be the place where Cheng Ziyi and Zihan had a private meeting to be made public?

Meng Tianchu was about to hesitate, and the dragon slayer said: "If you don't have a big person, you will look nearby, Miss Yin and I are running farther away, we won't go too far, and now that the sun is so big, the second lady wants to stop and rest." You have found it nearby, don't go up the mountain, I think the second lady will definitely not go up the mountain, just wait for us in the shade of the roadside after you find it, and we will be back soon. ”

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, this is good, so he agreed, Tulong and Yin Susu rode their horses and walked forward, Meng Tianchu led the horse to a big tree and tied it, let the horse eat grass alone, and walked towards Acacia Lake by himself.
