Xi pick-up: "What else can you do if you don't do this, the damned are already dead, and those who don't deserve to die still have to continue to live in this world, this is the end that God destined for each of us." ”

Meng Tianchu felt the same, and said, "By the way, do you really believe that Xi Yue can read minds and predict the future?" ”

Xi picked up a smile and said: "In the past, people in the walled village talked about her in private, saying that she was an ominous person, her life was hard, and no one could touch her, her grandfather... Ahem, let's call it like this, I'm used to calling it like this, her grandfather said that she is the lucky star of the Xi family, everyone has their own opinions. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Did everyone say that?" ”

Xi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Meng Tianchu disagreed, and said, "Since you can read minds, why don't you know your mind and Lotus's mind?" ”

Xi pick-up: "Probably the closer you are, the more you can't stay out of the way and think about it." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "You know her quite well." ”

Meng Tianchu: "What else did Xi Yue say to you?" ”

Xi picked up didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing more than some regrets about the beginning, and there is nothing else." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Is it really gone?" ”

Xi pick-up: "My lord, there really isn't any." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then how did you mention my study... This pot of red plums? ”

Xi picked up the plate of red plums that were just open, and said, "When the grass people went out, Xi Yue suddenly said this, and I must remember to tell you." My lord, the grass people have one more thing to tell you. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Speak." ”

Xi picked: "After seeing the adults today, the grass people are about to leave." ”

Meng Tianchu was a little sad when he picked it up, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost. "So soon to leave?" ”

Xi picked up and said, "You always have to go." ”

Meng Tianchu waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, there's no banquet in the world that won't be dispersed, you go, I won't send it." ”

Xi Shu gave Meng Tianchu a deep bow, and then walked out the door.

Meng Tianchu closed his eyes. Hearing the sound of the door closing softly and the footsteps getting farther away, a maid outside the door sneezed softly, lest she disturb the lord in the house, Meng Tianchu wanted to sleep, didn't want anything, and had a good night's sleep, but although his eyes were closed, he couldn't calm down in his heart, Xia Fengyi's words made him have to face Jian Ning's future. When Jian Ning didn't want to enter the palace for the first time, Meng Tianchu still remembered that Jian Ning was forced to kneel in front of Meng Tianchu helplessly and let Meng Tianchu ask for her, Meng Tianchu refused at that time, and now Jian Qi took out an old man to blackmail Meng Tianchu, Meng Tianchu knew that if he didn't want Jian Ning. Jian Qi will also do what he says, and throw Jian Ning, a big girl like a flower, to the old man in his fifties as a concubine, in Jian Qidi's eyes, Jian Ning is just a thing, whoever wants him will give it to whomever he wants, he will not feel sorry for this is his own flesh and blood, but think that this is a burden, and a rebellious burden.

Meng Tianchu couldn't bear it after all, so he came up with a roundabout way, saying that the emperor wanted to enter Beijing after the year, and he would talk about it after entering Beijing to recover his life. Fortunately, Jian Qi agreed, but he only gave Meng Tianchu three months, Meng Tianchu waited for Jian Qi to leave, pinched his fingers, and it was the same time as Yin Susu told Wan Sui Ye at the beginning, Meng Tianchu didn't even know what to do for a while.

The door opened, Meng Tianchu was a little sleepy, he didn't want to open his eyes, he only listened with his ears, and the door opened. Immediately after closing, a very light footstep came in front of Meng Tianchu from far and near, Meng Tianchu waited for the other party to speak, but the other party never spoke, as if he was a mute.

Meng Tianchu opened his eyes and saw that it was Zuo Jiayin.

"How to stand. Don't talk either? ”

Zuo Jiayin sat down on the chair next to Meng Tianchu at this time. But he still didn't speak, Meng Tianchu sat up. Said: "If you have something to say, say it." ”

Zuo Jiayin first sighed and said, "Why don't you move this harmful red plum away." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Just for this matter?" ”

Zuo Jiayin didn't smile, looked at Hongmei, and said, "Yes." ”

Meng Tianchu closed his eyes again and said, "Listen to you, you want to move away." ”

Meng Tianchu felt that he fell asleep after speaking, he didn't know when Zuo Jiayin left, he slept for several hours, and when he woke up, it was already dark, Meng Tianchu coughed twice, and soon a maid knocked on the door and came in, holding an oil lamp in her hand, and asked softly: "Master, are you awake?" ”

Meng Tianchu snorted, and the maid hurriedly lit the lamp in the room, Meng Tianchu: "What time is it?" ”

Maid: "In a few moments, the sixth lady came, and when she saw that you were sleeping deeply, she didn't dare to disturb you and left." ”

Meng Tianchu got up, only to find that the red plum in the corner of the wall was still there, and felt strange, and said, "This plate of red plum is still here?" Didn't Jiayin say to move away? ”

The maid fiddled with the flint in the brazier and said, "Maybe the third lady is afraid of waking up the master, so she doesn't dare to move away, probably because she wants to wait until you wake up." ”

Meng Tianchu sighed, walked out of the door, and suddenly shivered, the maid hurriedly followed with a lantern, and asked carefully: "Master, why don't you eat something first, you have slept for a long time, you must be hungry." ”

Meng Tianchu felt reasonable, turned around and walked towards the front yard, and saw some people walking over with lanterns, and when he got closer, it turned out to be the ear, and when he asked, he knew that he had started to patrol the courtyard as usual, and when the ear was gone, Meng Tianchu suddenly felt very bored, this room was full of people, and suddenly there was no one by his side, thinking of this, Meng Tianchu was a little sad.

After eating, Meng Tianchu came to Zuo Jiayin's courtyard, walked to Zuo Jiayin's room, and saw that she was sitting alone at the table reading quietly, and the maid on the side stood there looking listless. Meng Tianchu: "Jiayin, didn't you say to move the red plums in my study, so where will I put them when I wake up?" ”

Zuo Jiayin raised his eyes and found that Meng Tianchu was already standing beside him, so he quickly got up and said, "Tianchu is here, hurry up and sit down in a warm place." I'll ask the maid to make you your favorite Tieguanyin. ”

After Meng Tianchu sat down, the maid went to make tea, Zuo Jiayin put down the book and walked to Meng Tianchu and sat down, and said, "Tianchu, what did you say when you entered the door just now, I didn't listen to the book."

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Didn't you go to my study before and say that you moved that harmful Hongmei out of the study?" ”

Zuo Jiayin looked at Meng Tianchu strangely, and Meng Tianchu said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Tianchu." Did you dream about it in your dreams? What Hongmei, I don't know, and I haven't been to your study, I came out of Fengyi's courtyard before, I have been with Miss Jian here, and even for dinner, I ate with Miss Jian and Xiaonuo in my yard, and I have never taken half a step out of the yard. ”

This time it was Meng Tianchu's turn to be taken aback, and then seeing that Zuo Jiayin didn't look like a joke, he thought back to the previous situation well, obviously it didn't look like a dream.

Zuo Jiayin saw Meng Tianchu's thoughtful look. Said: "Are you tired today and have dreamed a lot, and you think it's true?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "You know so much that I'm sleeping?" ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled and said, "You think I'm kidding you?" Xiao Nuo said, before dinner, I asked the kitchen to make a few dishes that you like to eat. Xiaonuo has the heart to compensate you, so he went to the study to call you in person, who wants your maid to say that he said that he didn't dare to wake up, Xiaonuo came into the house to see you, and also said that you slept well, so he came back. ”

Meng Tianchu felt that something was wrong and said, "What about Xi Pickup?" ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Tianchu, what's wrong with you today?" Xi picked it up, saying that it was your resignation, and I let the ears give him away. ”

Meng Tianchu thought for a moment. said: "But Xi picked up before leaving, didn't you come?" Wrong... No, why do I think it's weird? Let's go, Jiayin, you and I go to my study and have a look. ”

Zuo Jiayin saw that Meng Tianchu got up to leave, and the maid brought the tea to the ground, Zuo Jiayin: "Tianchu, don't worry, drink the tea first." ”

Meng Tianchu had already walked out of the door and dropped a word. "I'll sleep with you at night and drink it when I come back." ”

Zuo Jiayin followed out and whispered, "It seems that today is..."

Meng Tianchu interrupted Zuo Jiayin's words and said, "I said, from today onwards, whose courtyard I am willing to go to is my freedom." Don't bother me. Let's go. ”

Zuo Jiayin had no choice but to let Meng Tianchu go first, and didn't mention this matter for the time being.

Came to Meng Tianchu's room. Meng Tianchu called the maid and asked, "Who came to my study this afternoon?" ”

The maid didn't think about it and said, "Master Xi and the sixth lady." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't believe it, pointed at Zuo Jiayin and said, "Hasn't the third lady been here?" ”

The maid shook her head and said, "No, because you are asleep, master, there are people passing by, and I also asked them to take a detour, for fear of waking you up." ”

Meng Tianchu and Zuo Jiayin entered the study, and Zuo Jiayin suddenly said: "Did Xi pick up and leave the prison cell when he gave you his resignation?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "That's right? ”

Zuo Jiayin quickly looked around the study, then walked to the front of the brazier and rummaged around the chair, but there was nothing, Meng Tianchu said: "Do you think Xi Yue asked Xi to pick up something in my study?" ”

Zuo Jiayin: "I can't underestimate that Xi Yue, now there will be some people who are on the sidelines, although I don't believe it, but I can't disbelieve it all, be careful to sail the boat in old age." ”

When Meng Tianchu saw Zuo Jiayin say this, he asked Zuo Jiayin to take a closer look in his study, but found nothing.

Zuo Jiayin pointed to the plate of red plums and said, "You said that this plate of red plums is harmful, did you say it?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "It was Xi Yue who asked him to tell me, saying that what is put here is not harmonious between husband and wife, and it will also make your sisters disagree, who will believe it." ”

Zuo Jiayin: "No, I understand, someone is here." ”

Suddenly, two maids came in, Zuo Jiayin: "Come and two people will move this pot of red plums out of the house for me, wait a minute... In this way, send it to Lord Song Yuanqiao, the political envoy of Zuobu, and then add some other gifts to send it together, just say that it is our lordship's meaning, and I hope that Lord Song will get off to a good start in the coming year. ”

The subordinates moved Hongmei away, and Meng Tianchu was puzzled: "Jiayin, which one are you singing?" ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled strangely and said: "Xi Yue probably knows that with your temperament, she won't believe it, so she put a head down on Xi Shu's body, but it's just an idea, as long as Xi Ji tells you this word, this head will be automatically transferred to this pot of red plums, so we can't believe it." ”

Meng Tianchu: "I hate these Gu the most, what kind of place to lower your head, there are such boring people, so you send them to Song Yuanqiao's house..."

Zuo Jiayin: "This kind of thing must be sent away, not left, it is not appropriate to put it anywhere in the house, and Xi Yue knows that Song Yuanqiao is her grandfather... No, her father's student, and the relationship between teachers and students is very close, it shouldn't be difficult for Song Yuanqiao to know it. ”

Meng Tianchu said suspiciously: "Why does this Xi Yue want to harm me? ”

Zuo Jiayin thought for a while and said, "If you want to know the reason, why don't we go to the meeting tomorrow and she will be clear?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "It's okay." ”

Du Qin didn't expect that Meng Tianchu's sudden visit was to let him go to the prison cell to meet his own daughter, listening to the meaning of this prefect, Xi Yue's last takeover should not be able to live, so it is his duty to see his daughter, but I don't know why Du Qin is a little hesitant, she is a little afraid of her own woman, and she can't tell what she is afraid of.

Meng Tianchu saw that Du Qin was a little hesitant, but he was not reluctant, and was about to leave with Zuo Jiayin, Chai Meng, and Tu Long, but Du Qin finally said that he was willing to go together.

When she came to the cell, Meng Tianchu stood at the door of Xi Yue's cell and looked at Xi Yue in surprise in the cell, only to see that she was only wearing a dirty dress, a single skirt on her lower body, and a pink scarf in her hand dancing in the cell, and outside the window was a cold wind, Meng Tianchu and they were all wrapped tightly in cotton clothes and jackets, as if Xi Yue was spending summer.

Xi Yue heard someone coming, but she didn't stop, but said, "Don't come in, just say anything at the door." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Xi Yue, why do you want to harm this official?" ”

Xi Yue laughed loudly and said, "What, do you know how powerful my Xi Yue is?" ”

Du Qin said on the side: "Yue'er can't talk to the prefect like this!" ”

Xi Yue: "Why are you talking to me like this?" ”

Du Qin: "I know you hate me, but it has nothing to do with the prefect, don't bother him." ”

Xi Yue laughed and said, "Don't pretend to be kind at this time, think about my poor brother, think about my uncle and father, and grandfather..., you can make the whole family die for you, scattered, how capable are you?" ”

Du Qin listened, her heart was like a knife, she knew that as long as she faced it, it would be very painful, but avoiding it was not the solution to the problem, she was facing it now, and she had to listen to her daughter's ridicule and ridicule.
