Qian Daxi patted Meng Tianchu's shoulder: "That's right!" "Do you think that people are now in the imperial court, you have become his niece and son-in-law, who will dare to give you Meng Xian's nephew face in this Hangzhou Mansion in the future? Although this gentle girl is a little rude, but your little brother doesn't want this hot potato, so it is right to happily agree, so that he will not offend Lord Wen, and he will have a great future in the future. As for women, the three of you can be cleaned up, one gentle What are you afraid of? ”

Meng Tianchu raised his neck: "I can say ugly things in front, it's okay to marry her, but if she wants to continue to make trouble, I won't be polite!" ”

"That's natural, this woman, no matter how noble she was before, she passed the door and obeyed her husband, and she still has to talk about these three and four virtues! It's not up to you to decide! This is your housework, even if it is Lord Wen, as long as it is not too excessive, Lord Wen can understand, and, hehe, if you can help change the brutal character of gentleness, maybe Lord Wen will be cheerful instead. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, thinking that this was about the same. Then he smiled bitterly: "There is another problem!" - I am willing to marry her, but she is not willing to marry me! As soon as she met, she deliberately made trouble with me, sneered at me, and released poison darts to hurt me today, which shows that she doesn't want to marry me at all, she doesn't want to marry me, she can't marry me hard, right? ”

"Why not?" Ke Gan laughed a few times and said: "Men and women marry, since ancient times, the order of parents, the words of matchmakers, and the right thing. It is enough for both parents to agree. Gently, father, this Zhan Shifang Shao Zhan Shi. That's not what Lord Wen did for him, what Lord Wen said was what her parents said. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because she can't resist that she deliberately came to me and wanted me to take the initiative to refuse this family business." ”

"Yes, this trick of gentleness has been expected by Lord Wen. The reason why he didn't directly send his niece Ba to you was because he was worried about the fight in your cave room! Therefore, according to the gentle request, let her come and see for herself, and when she is used to it, she will officially get married. ”

"Adapt? Hehe, I don't see any signs of her adapting, I just know that this unruly woman is trying to provoke me so that I refuse to marry. So, let her live for a few more days, and I'll tear down all my house! ”

Ke Qian smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, little brother, Lord Wen has his own arrangements." ”

"Oh, well, hopefully I'll have the life to wait until that day. Thank you, Master Ke, then I'll go back. ”

Ke Qian smiled: "You don't have to be so polite to me in the future, in the future, I Ke Qian will still expect you to say a few kind words in front of the hot spring adults." He personally sent Meng Tianchu outside the door.

Meng Tianchu returned home, and as soon as he entered the yard, he heard gentle and desperate shouts from the big trees in the yard.

Under the trees. Feiyan said: "This woman's voice is still very loud, and she is not too tired to panic after screaming for so long. ”

"Put me down! Meng Tianchu! If you're a man, you're going to fight with me, and what kind of skill is it to hang a daughter's house from a tree? Meng Tianchu! …”

When everyone saw that Meng Tianchu was back, they all greeted him.

Meng Tianchu saw Zuo Jiayin's tired face, and said distressedly: "You are already very tired today. You should go to rest. Is the snow better? ”

Zuo Jiayin shook her head sadly and said, "She is still having a high fever, and her body is not good on weekdays, I hope she can be safe." ”

Meng Tianchu raised his eyes to look at the gentleness on the tree, and said to Li Linjing, "Put her down for me." ”

Li Linjing hurriedly let go of the rope and put down the gentleness.

looked at Meng Tianchu's eyes gently, as if he was about to eat him: "Hmph!" The surname Meng, you are dead! You're afraid my uncle will trouble you. You have the ability to hang me up, just hang me! ”

Meng Tianchu looked at the gentle pretty face, thinking to himself what kind of rose this was, it was obviously a cactus. No, a hornet's nest is right!

He took out a handkerchief from his arms, walked to Gentleness, and said, "Is it hard to hang?" Wipe your sweat. ”

Gentle took a step back and said, "Don't pretend to say anything good, I will definitely go back to complain to my uncle, I will see how you will mix in the future." I'm going to ask my uncle to behead your Meng family, and I'm going to..."

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was already blocked by the handkerchief in Meng Tianchu's hand.

Meng Tianchu didn't pay attention to her appearance at all, turned around, and said to Li Linjing: "Hang her up again, now everyone can be quiet." With that, he turned around and left.

After dinner, Meng Tianchu asked Zuo Jiayin to go back to the room to rest, leaving four maids to take care of in the room of Zhixue, Feiyan was not at ease to stay, Meng Tianchu agreed, and then pulled Xia Fengyi to the pavilion in the courtyard, the weather was getting warmer and warmer, and it was still very comfortable to sit in the pavilion, but Meng Tianchu didn't feel like this, his heart was very heavy.

Xia Fengyi saw that he didn't speak, and he looked very decadent, so he said: "I know that you called me out alone, there must be something to say, but these things happened at home in just two days, and it is enough for you to worry." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I went to Hangzhou Mansion, and the prefect told me... Alas! ”

Xia Fengyi gently put her hands on his shoulders and said, "No matter what happens, we will be with you." ”

Meng Tianchu held her hand and asked her to sit opposite him, and then said: "This gentleness is the niece of Lord Wen of Dongchang Governor Hot Spring, and the purpose of Lord Wen asking her to come to our house... It's for me... asked me to marry her. ”

Meng Tianchu finally finished his words with difficulty, and Xia Fengyi's expression was as surprised as Meng Tianchu had when he first heard the news.

Meng Tianchu said: "And I can't help but marry." ”

Xia Fengyi's voice trembled and said, "Lord Wen, he... How could he force someone to take a wife and take a concubine? ”

Meng Tianchu let out a long sigh and said, "He can!" ”

"Why?"

"Because he threatened me with good news!"

"Threatening you with good news?" Xia Fengyi didn't understand for a while.

"Well, he said that the emperor is the most

Jinu Dao Chang entered the palace to accompany him to alchemy. said that someone suggested letting Jiayin go, and he hinted that if I didn't want to marry Wen Rou, he didn't care about this matter, then Jiayin was determined to enter the palace to accompany the emperor to alchemy and marry. For the sake of good news, I can't refuse. ”

Xia Fengyi listened to it and stayed for a long time. I couldn't help but cry quietly.

Meng Tianchu continued: "I don't want Jiayin to know that she is going to be a mother in three months, but she will definitely not wronged me because of herself, so she would rather go to the capital than let me marry this woman." ”

Feng Yi nodded, sat up straight, and said, "I understand, but it's hard for you." ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head. said: "It's not me who is embarrassed, it's everyone, who used to have a good home, but now because of this shrew, I'm going to be restless from now on." ”

—

"But if you want to marry, Jiayin still has to know, she is so smart, you must have a reason."

Meng Tianchu nodded, stood up, and looked at the bright light in Zuo Jiayin's room. "I don't know what reason to come up with. ”

The two of them walked out of the pavilion with a heavy heart, Xia Fengyi looked at the person on the tree, and said, "Since we are a family sooner or later, we should put her down, if she dies, we will not be able to explain." ”

Meng Tianchu thought for a moment. said: "You go and do it, just don't let her yell, I'm very annoyed now." ”

"I know, you go back and rest for a while."

"No, I'll go to Yuxue's place."

Xia Fengyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Then what about you and Xue Xue?" ”

It seems that they all know, but the problem is that now one is hanging from a tree and the other is lying on a bed. Meng Tianchu waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

This night, Meng Tianchu has been waiting by Murong Yuxue's side, at dawn. Murong Zhenxue's fever finally subsided, and Meng Tianchu was relieved, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he fell asleep on the side of the bed.

Murong Zhenxue opened her eyes and found that she was in her room, and she didn't have any strength at all, she looked around and found that someone was crawling in front of her bed and falling asleep, still snoring, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Meng Tianchu. With gratitude and joy in his heart, he took a piece of quilt and gently covered him.

This woke Meng Tianchu up. When he opened his eyes, he found that Murong Xue had woken up, and shouted happily, "Xue Xue!" Are you awake? That's great! You're going to scare me to death. He happily grabbed her little hand, which was cold, thinking that it was the cause of excessive blood loss, and his face was pale.

Hearing the voice, the maids all ran in, and when they saw that Xue Xue was awake, they happily ran out to tell the eldest lady and the second lady, and soon they all rushed over.

Zhen Xue was about to speak, Xia Fengyi hurriedly said: "Try not to talk now, your body is still very weak, just wake up." ”

Zuo Jiayin also said: "Waking up means that you have nothing to do, and your body will lie in bed for at least a month and recuperate." ”

Xue Xue nodded, Xia Fengyi saw Meng Tianchu's haggard face, and said, "You are also very tired, you have been keeping watch all night, now go sleep for a while, me and Jiayin will rest assured that you will be here." ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head and asked, "What about the shrew?" ”

Xia Fengyi said: "It's been put down and locked in a room in the backyard." Li Linjing took the maid to look at it. ”

Zuo Jiayin said: "Husband, let's go back and rest for a while, the eldest lady has said, it's good that we are here." ”

Meng Tianchu had no choice but to get up, say a few words, and then go out.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day that Wen Wen came to Meng's house, Meng Tianchu ignored this woman who had been locked up in his back garden, he rarely had a good rest, and then went to handle his own case, he believed that he had promised the hot spring, and the hot spring would soon send someone to discuss the marriage, during this time, he could completely treat this woman as non-existent.

After eating early in the morning and going to see Zhenxue, he and Zhu Hao were going to find Zhuge Xin, and Xia Fengyi also went to Murong Zhenxue's house to see how the house was repaired.

Zhuge Xin invited Meng Tianchu and Zhu Hao to a teahouse, and after the three of them sat down, Meng Tianchu went straight to the point and repeated the question to Zhuge Xin last time, and today Zhuge Xin replied happily: "The person who sold me the house has gone to the north for business reasons, and I think he will not come back in half a year." ”

Meng Tianchu sighed and stared at Zhuge Xin.

Zhuge Xin smiled, turned his eyes to other places, and did not look at Meng Tianchu.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Meng Tianchu's mouth, and he said, "Master Zhuge , why did you say it so happily this time, it seemed to be very embarrassed last time. ”

Zhuge Xin immediately said: "No, no, last time because your wife suddenly broke in, I haven't had time to say it." ”

"Well, in fact, I don't need to ask you, I can naturally find out who the previous owner of this house was."

Zhuge Xin immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, what Master Meng said is true." ”

Meng Tianchu stood up and said, "Okay, let's go." Don't sell this house for the time being, there are still some problems in the case that haven't been clarified, so you can sell it when I inform you to sell it. ”

"And when?"

Meng Tianchu said: "When the case comes out! After speaking, he took Zhu Hao and left.

Zhuge Xin stared blankly at their backs and didn't speak.

Meng Tianchu and Zhu Hao walked out of the teahouse, and Zhu Hao said: "This guy is not honest today and is not telling the truth. ”

"I know."

"Then young master, do you think he will tell the person you just said about going to the person who sold his house?"

"The reason I said that to him was because I wanted him to tell that person."

"And then?"

"Then follow the vine! Now go to the yamen and let Wang Yi send two brothers to follow this old guy all the time. ”

Sure enough, in the evening, Wang Yi reported to Meng Tianchu that he had found that person.
