Xia Fengyi was stunned, she almost couldn't believe her ears, she knew that Meng Tianchu liked her very much, and she also hoped to be a real husband and wife again and again, and she could see that it was sincere, but she didn't expect that when she really agreed, he refused.

Feiyan stabbed Meng Tianchu anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Young Master! You're tired and confused these days, grandma really wants to be married to you, why are you..."

"She wasn't sincere." Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your grandmother is just here to repay her kindness." She is a filial daughter, and she attaches great importance to the word 'filial piety', and pays attention to the fact that she can be wronged to marry a person whom she hates very much, and now, this person she has hated so much for many years has saved her father. In this case, she knew that if she left me after a year, her father would be very angry and sad, and for the sake of 'filial piety', she agreed to be a long-term husband and wife with me. Therefore, she agreed to be with me, not for 'love', but for 'filial piety'. ”

Feiyan hurriedly said, "What's the difference? If you are a husband and wife, you can also love slowly in the future. ”

"It's not the same. Silly girl, get on the bus first and then make up the ticket in your dynasty... Ahem... You can do it, but I can't, I won't be married to a girl who doesn't love me. ”

Xia Fengyi's face was a little pale, and she smiled reluctantly: "How do you know that I don't love you?" ”

"Do you have one?" Meng Tianchu felt a little sad, "What is love?" Love is the heart-rending pain when you have to be separated for a long time, the worry that haunts you all the time, and the ecstasy of reunion. It's an inadvertent affectionate look, it's crying for him, laughing for him laughing..., do you have these? ”

After saying this, Meng Tianchu suddenly felt as if he was being pinched by an invisible hand in his heart, and asked Xia Fengyi if he felt this way, did he feel this way? During the time he left Xia Fengyi, how could he have thought about her day and night? And how could he have cried for her, laughed for her!

At this moment, his thoughts flew to Zuo Jiayin again, did he fall in love with Zuo Jiayin? Do you feel this way about Zuo Jiayin again? I once hugged her and wanted to kiss him. Is that for love? No, the first time I was at her house, it was because I knew that Zuo Jiayin liked me and used her feelings to protect herself, and the second time I was at Xia's house, it was out of gratitude, and I couldn't bear to live up to her feelings of being careless about herself.

In fact, his feelings for Xia Fengyi are more of a kind of love, a kind of love for the women he likes. Instead of love, because the seeds of love had just germinated, and before they had time to grow, they were coldly pinched off by Xia Fengyi. As for Zuo Jiayin, to put it bluntly, it is actually just a kind of gratitude and responsibility, just like Xia Fengyi did to herself.

Thinking of this, Meng Tianchu was very frustrated.

Xia Fengyi's expression was even more frustrated, and she said slowly: "Yes... I'm sorry..."

"Hehe," Meng Tianchu shook his head: "There is no question of who is sorry for whom, it is still the same sentence, the twisted melon is not sweet, you don't love me, you marry me against your will, and against your wishes." It's not what I want, so let's go with the flow, if the time we agreed upon, the two of us really love each other, we will be together, otherwise, it's better to break up with a smile. Maybe what I said was too far ahead of my time, and you might not understand it, but I mean it. ”

Xia Fengyi really didn't understand, almost all women in ancient times were vassals of men, or even just tools of men's sex, and they had no right to talk about feelings, let alone happiness. There is just a responsibility - the responsibility to make men happy.

Xia Fengyi is considered to be a relatively alternative among ancient women. Under the condition that both men and women are not equal, she made her own choice with love as the standard, and chose to marry a man who had to marry in Chapter 3, which is to pursue her own happiness, some people may say that the women who were divorced in ancient times talked about happiness, but these people ignored a problem, for a woman like Xia Fengyi, compared with being forced to live with a man she hated for a lifetime, being divorced is indeed a very happy thing.

The reason why Xia Fengyi agreed to make it true with Meng Tianchu was indeed more out of gratitude and last resort, although Meng Tianchu had done so many things for the Xia family, it could only increase her gratitude more, after all, the hatred for that Young Master Meng that had accumulated for more than ten years was not something that could be completely washed away by one or two things.

Xia Fengyi stood up, walked in front of Meng Tianchu, and said in a low voice: "Husband, what I just said is sincere, since you don't want to, then Feiyan and I should sleep outside." "With that, he walked slowly outside, walked a few steps, and then turned around and continued;" If... If you want... A concubine will... Coming to you...", he lowered his head and lifted the curtain and walked out of the outer room.

Meng Tianchu slapped his head, and regretted that he was too rational just now. What's wrong with getting on the bus first and then paying the ticket? Anyway, heaven and earth have worshipped it. This car is also on board, can you go back and buy a ticket first and then get on the bus? How can I feel uncomfortable myself, pretending to be a maggot with a big tail, my head is in water!

Feiyan stomped down in front of the stool in front of Meng Tianchu and asked, "Hey! Master, what the hell are you doing? When my grandmother told me before, the slave was happy for you for a long time! ”

It's one thing to regret blaming yourself, but you can't let others complain about yourself, Meng Tianchu smiled, twisted Ning Feiyan's face, and teased: "I'm going to get along with your grandma, then won't you be the original partner?" ”

"Hmph~!" Feiyan blocked Meng Tianchu's hand: "Everyone is about to be angry with you, you still have the heart to joke!" Will you marry me? That Feiyan just has a good impression of you, worships you, admires you, and wants to serve you for the rest of her life, but I haven't fallen in love with you yet, you want to marry me, isn't that also against your big chase, what kind of love pressure, love pressure, love and lingering pressure or something. ”

"Eccentric!" Meng Tianchu scolded with a smile, "Young Master Ben wants to marry you, how can you still speak, obediently dress up and sit in a sedan chair,... Take your dowry, take your sister, and come in a carriage~! ”

Feiyan gave him a blank look: "What's the matter!" You should tell your grandmother about it. Grandma is just waiting for your words. Then he secretly glanced outside, leaned over, and whispered: "Young master, why don't you go and tell grandma, you agreed, let her come over, okay?" ”

Meng Tianchu just said such a big reason, on the one hand, because he was rejected by Xia Fengyi repeatedly. Some people are angry and deliberately pretend to be B, but more often than not, they do have this kind of idea, marrying a wife is not just a woman, just beautiful and good-looking, it depends on the emotional development of the two. Whether you really love each other depends on whether you can get along or not, and whether you can live together for a lifetime. Of course, the thoughts of these modern young people are somewhat nondescript when used in ancient society, but they just came over and got married, and they didn't have a choice, but now that they have a choice, they have to think about it seriously.

The central question of consideration is - who to find to be your original match!

Xia Fengyi was willing to play this role out of gratitude, although Xia Fengyi was very satisfied with everything. But this motivation alone was enough to make him hesitate. It's been so long anyway. Why don't you calm down for a while, maybe Xia Fengyi is just a momentary impulse.

Meng Tianchu smiled and shook his head: "No need, if I think about it, I will tell your grandmother myself, if you are afraid that I will be alone, then you will sleep with me!" ”

"Humph! Young master, you will make fun of Feiyan, if you really want to move seriously, you will retreat. ”

"Don't back down this time, come on!" Meng Tianchu pursed his lips exaggeratedly and looked at Feiyan with a smile.

Feiyan blushed and looked outside, leaned over, and touched Meng Tianchu's lips with her cheeks.

Meng Tianchu shook his head, pointed at Feiyan Hong's little mouth, and then pointed at his own mouth.

Feiyan blushed and grinned: "I don't! If you don't promise grandma, I won't promise you! ”

"How can you threaten the young master's little maid like this! Hum! Beware of my family law service! ”

"Hehe, the young master is reluctant to fight Feiyan! - Don't make trouble, if you like to sleep alone, then it's up to you, the slave and maid fetch water and serve you to wash and rest. Feiyan said, stood up and walked out.

Meng Tianchu looked at her slender back, and really liked this outspoken hot girl in his heart.

Under the careful care of Jiang Langzhong and Meng Tianchu, Xia Hong's injuries remained stable and began to recover slowly. It's just that he is a lot older, and this kind of nerve-wracking thing, there is no way to fully recover in a few months, so he can only slowly recuperate.

One afternoon a few days later, Meng Tianchu, Zuo Jiayin, Xia Fengyi, and Mrs. Xia were talking with Xia Hong on the sickbed, and the porter hurriedly ran in to report that a few Dongchang fans had come to see Young Master Meng, and they were waiting in the living room now.

The Xia family was sudden, and now they were terrified when they heard Dongchang, and they finally calmed down these days, did something happen again?

Meng Tianchu hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't worry, I'll take a look." ”

Zuo Jiayin hurriedly said: "I'll accompany you." ”

The two came to the front hall, only to see three fans wearing Dongchang costumes sitting in the guest seats, one of whom Meng Tianchu knew, it turned out to be Xiao Zhenpeng, the commander who was severely taught by Zuo Jiayin, outside Zuo Jiayin's Zhiwei concept, and there was a small box on the coffee table.

Of course, Chief Xiao didn't know Meng Tianchu, but he knew Zuo Jiayin next to him, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he stepped forward and respectfully clasped his fists and arched his hand: "Humble Xiao Zhenpeng, I've seen the sky... Left girl..."

Zuo Jiayin smiled: "It's you, what are you doing?" Ask me where I am and want to take me away? ”

"No, no, don't dare! We're here for you, and we'll see you by the way... See..."Looking at Meng Tianchu, he hesitated for a moment, and asked with a smiling face: "Dare to ask if this is Master Meng of Renhe County, Master Meng?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded: "It's the contemptible people, what are the few nobles?" ”

The three of them were surprised and delighted, looking at Zuo Jiayin, they wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Zuo Tianshi is a contemptible good friend, there is no need to avoid everything, you can say anything about it." ”

When the three of them heard this, they quickly knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists and saluted: "See the foreman for the inferior rank." ”

Meng Tianchu had already guessed just now: "You are from Hangzhou Fudong Factory?" ”

A chubby middle-aged man arched his hand and said: "The humble position is Chen Xingpeng, the secretary of Hangzhou East Factory." These two are the chief Yu Xinlong and Xiao Zhenpeng. We have just received an official letter of appointment from the East Factory Administration to your Excellency, and then we have received an urgent letter from your Excellency, so we took the opportunity to send something to your Excellency to invite your Excellency back to Hangzhou to take up official duties. ”

The people in Dongchang are all good at slapping horses, and they have already heard it clearly, Meng Tianchu was personally appointed by Gonggong Wen of Hot Springs, and the size of this backstage is not ordinary, so Chen Xingpeng and the other three took the opportunity to send opium to Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin, and rushed to pat the horses.

After Meng Tianchu asked them to sit down, he asked some about the situation of Hangzhou East Factory, and knew that Hangzhou East Factory had a total of five directors, fifteen chiefs, and more than 200 East Factory officers. It seems that he is really called a strong soldier.

Meng Tianchu opened the sealed box, and sure enough, it was full of opium pills, and asked Zuo Jiayin to put it away, half of it was paid tribute to the emperor, and half of it was refined for himself to be given to the eunuch hot spring.

That night, Chen Xingpeng and the other three found a luxury restaurant and feasted Meng Tianchu. Meng Tianchu originally wanted Zuo Jiayin to go with him, but this was a party in Dongchang, Zuo Jiayin didn't want to go, and Meng Tianchu couldn't do anything about him.

After days of hard work, not a drop of wine, this time I finally caught an opportunity, this wine was drunk until late at night, Meng Tianchu was drunk and sent back, and he also held a large bag of silver. It's all a meeting gift from the three of them.

In the next few days, these three people came to Xia Mansion every day to accompany Meng Tianchu's followers. They knew that Meng Tianchu was a secret agent of the East Factory, and his identity was not easily revealed, so the three of them also changed into civilian clothes, Meng Tianchu and the Xia family only introduced that they were friends they met in Hangzhou, Xia Hong, Mrs. Xia and Xia Fengyi looked at the attitude of these three people towards Meng Tianchu, not like friends but more like servants, respectful, wondering in their hearts, but they didn't ask too much.
