Early in the morning of the second day, Meng Tianchu slept soundly, dreamed that he was holding his mouth on the bed and preparing to do something, and suddenly the mountains shook, as if there was an earthquake, and there was a voice in his ears that he was crying out in a panic, and suddenly woke up, only to find that it was Nan Ke who was dreaming, and there was indeed a woman sleeping beside him, but it was Xia Fengyi who was naked.

Although he woke up, he still felt the ground shaking, and when he turned his head, he saw that Feiyan was standing next to the bed, grabbing his shoulders and shaking in a panic: "Young master! Hurry up! ”

"Huh? What's wrong? You want to come up too, so come up and sleep together! "Reach out to pull her to bed.

"Not really! Miss Murong ...... Miss Murong is gone! ”

"What?" Meng Tianchu crawled up: "Why is it gone?" ”

"I don't know, Xiaozhu ran to say just now that Miss Murong went out on crutches early in the morning. I heard and hurriedly chased after her, and finally caught up with her, and asked her where to go, she said that the young master was very kind to her, she didn't want to embarrass the young master, and the injury was almost healed, and she wanted to go to a relative's house to live with her parents, and said that she would not come to be a scribe in the future, and asked the young master to ...... her Forget about her. I was anxious and asked her where she was going, but she refused to say anything and walked away. ”

Xia Fengyi also got up, and when she heard this, she and Meng Tianchu glanced at each other, and their first reaction was that Murong Zhenxue must have known about what happened last night, and it is estimated that Murong Zhenxue did not fall asleep at all last night, or was woken up by the sound of them talking, so he heard what they said.

Meng Tianchu said: "I'll chase her back!" ”

"Do you know where she went?"

"Their relatives' houses, one by one, are looking for them!"

Feiyan hurriedly helped Meng Tianchu get dressed. Meng Tianchu hurriedly finished washing. took Zhu Hao out of the door.

came to Murong Zhenxue's house first, which was still under construction, she was not there, and the two went to the relative's house where her parents lived. After asking, I learned that Murong Yuxue had hired a carriage and went out of the city to live at a relative's house in a nearby mountain village.

After asking the specific location, Meng Tianchu and Zhu Hao returned to the yamen to lead two horses and rode out of the city. Go and find it.

Walk through a muddy mountain road. A mountain stream that has just rained. In addition to the pine waves and the spring water, it is the song of the cuckoo. The occasional drop of water from the tree hit my forehead, and I felt much cooler. It was originally a very pleasant scenery, but Meng Tianchu didn't have the heart to appreciate it.

After walking for about an hour, I finally saw a village at the foot of the mountain.

After inquiring all the way, Meng Tianchu and Zhu Hao finally found the courtyard of Murong Zhenxue's relatives.

I saw a long-haired woman in a small white floral dress in the courtyard with her back to her. Sitting in front of a spinning wheel, the spindle in his hand kept turning, the cotton thread slid softly in his slender hand, and the back was indescribably lonely. Just looking at the back, Meng Tianchu could be sure that this girl was Murong Zhenxue.

Meng Tianchu walked over slowly and called softly: "Xue Xue~!" ”

Murong Yuxue turned her head when she heard the sound and saw Meng Tianchu standing outside the chai gate. I look at myself affectionately. There was a flash of joy on his face, then it darkened again, and he got up and was about to go into the room.

"Are you going to hide from me for the rest of your life?" Meng Tianchu felt a kind of sourness welling up in his heart.

The woman stopped. Turning around slowly, a trace of sadness appeared in the corners of his eyes: "It's not to hide, it's to leave." ”

Meng Tianchu pushed away the firewood and walked in, Murong Yuxue looked at him blankly.

In just one day, Murong Zhenxue's pretty face had obviously lost weight, Meng Tianchu held her arm, and said distressedly, "Why do you want to leave?" The house is going to be repaired. ”

Murong Yuxue gently pushed Meng Tianchu's hand away, and said indifferently: "How good it is here, the water is shining and the sun is clear, and the mountains are empty and rainy. There's nothing better than this. ”

Meng Tianchu grabbed Murong Zhenxue's shoulders and asked her to stand face to face with him, Murong Zhenxue buried her head, and Meng Tianchu held up her chin with his hand: "Such a good place, but there is only one me missing, you are in the deep mountains, your heart is in Renhe, why bother?" I have never promised you anything, that is because I am afraid that the time is not ripe, and I can't do it for you, and now, I come to pick you up, just to promise you a future! ”

Murong Xue burst into tears: "Master Meng...... you have already rebuilt the Xue family, and you really can't afford your favor ......, let alone let you suffer because of Xue Xue, if that happens, even if Xue Xue is broken, it will be difficult to atone for her sins." So I can only choose to leave! ”

"Snow! You go back with me, I'm not afraid of danger, even if there is danger, let's bear it together! ”

Murong Yuxue shook his head: "No, you better go......"

Meng Tianchu saw that Murong Yuxue was crying silently, and his heart was like a knife: "Zhenxue, are you really willing to let me go?" Do you know? Even if I fight for my life, I will marry you into the door! If Lord Wen turns his face around like this, I'm afraid that if I leave, I will never go back......"

Murong Yuxue smiled sadly, wiped away the tears in front of her cheeks with her hand, looked at Meng Tianchu sadly, and said, "Master Meng, think twice about everything!" You still have a few sisters-in-law to take care of, so you should cherish each one......" broke free, walked quickly into the house, and closed the door.

Meng Tianchu stared at the closed door of the house in a daze, sighed softly, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and took Zhu Hao on the horse.

Murong Yuxue heard the sound of the horse's hooves gradually moving away, and then opened the door, and watched Meng Tianchu's back disappear into the distance at the end of the road, tears rolling down in strings.

…………

Meng Tianchu and the two returned home, and as soon as they entered the door, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted them and said, "Young master, Grandpa Li has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time." ”

Meng Tianchu snorted heavily, thinking to himself what this eunuch wanted to do? went straight to the study, without a smile on his face, took off his robe and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Gonggong Li, if you still want to persuade Meng, then don't open your mouth." My decision will not change! ”

Gonggong Li looked quite embarrassed, and laughed dryly: "This ...... Master Meng, yes. We can't help it, so please understand. ”

Meng Tianchu was speechless with a gloomy face.

Gonggong Li thought about it and patted his thigh: "Our family has been thinking about it all night,

Go out and be Lord Wen for a while. Master Meng, do you think this will work? As a wife, Master Meng was originally married to Xia's eldest and Miss Wen was secondary,—— after all, Miss Wen was Lord Wen's niece. I really want to be a concubine. Lord Wen's face doesn't look good. Please be considerate of this point. ”

Meng Tianchu glanced at him, but still didn't speak.

Gonggong Li swallowed with difficulty and continued: "Also, Lord Meng accepted Miss Murong as a concubine...... Alas! It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Lord Meng has already promised other girls, so he can't let adults be treacherous, so. After thinking about it last night, our family made up their minds to be the master of Lord Wen desperately, and promised Lord Meng that he could take Miss Murong as a concubine! What does Master Meng think? ”

Meng Tianchu glanced at him again, only to see that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked at himself pitifully, sneering in his heart: You have worked hard to make decisions for the old fox in the hot spring? Hehe, what kind of green onion are you? You said that these are obviously the hole cards that Hot Springs gave you. Hmph, judging from your virtue, this should be all the hole cards of the hot spring.

The possible outcome of bargaining between the two parties. Meng Tianchu knew that there were three things that were inevitable: first, gentleness would definitely be married. Hot springs as the Dongchang factory governor, the celebrant eunuch, the big red man in front of the emperor, the red Ming half of the sky, if he refutes him on the ground, the result will be unpredictable, for this damn shrew, and the hot spring turned face, it's not worth it, marry and slowly clean up; Second, gentleness is the niece of the hot spring, and if she really wants to be a concubine for a master, she will be laughed off by the people of the court, so it is certain that she will have a flat wife, but who is big enough to fight for it, sure enough, the hot spring hole card can be allowed to be a second wife, which is probably also the bottom limit of the hot spring; Third, preventing yourself from taking concubines is just a manifestation of the hot spring's caring gesture for your niece, whether you accept a concubine or not, and how many concubines you take has no effect on the hot spring, so it is also negotiable.

The result of the bargaining now is completely consistent with Meng Tianchu's judgment.

Meng Tianchu stood up at this time, and arched his hand without smiling: "Thank you Gonggong Li, Meng Mou must not dare to forget his father-in-law's great kindness, and there will be a good reward." ”

Gonggong Li breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Hehe, then Master Meng, let's discuss the matter of getting married." Do you invite a few grandmothers to discuss this matter? ”

Meng Tianchu asked the maid to call Xia Fengyi, Zuo Jiayin and Feiyan over, and simply told the result of the bargaining just now.

When the three girls heard this, they all thought that this was probably the most ideal result, although they were a little aggrieved for Zuo Jiayin, but Zuo Jiayin, as a heavenly master, decided to be a concubine for Meng Tianchu, and she was originally willing to surrender her identity, but now there is an extra lady in front of her, and it has not changed her status as a concubine, so it doesn't matter. Fortunately, Murong Zhenxue's matter was finally resolved, and the three daughters were very happy, and discussed that they would take Murong Zhenxue back after the matter was over for a while.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Gonggong Li completely relieved himself, restored the shelf of sending relatives to the envoy, and said unhurriedly: "Master Meng, since it is a marriage, naturally we can't say that we will marry, we will come step by step according to the rules." ”

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, I'm not in a hurry anyway, it's a big deal for you to bring people back first, what are you waiting for, the dowry, the date and other tedious things have been done, and it's not too late to get married.

Gonggong Li squinted his eyes like a thief and looked at Meng Tianchu's expression, coughed dryly, and said in a parent-like tone: "Eight characters, Lord Wen has already found someone to match, and we also brought Miss's dowry this time, as for this day of marriage......

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he was a little strange: "Gonggong Li, how do you know my birthday?" ”

"Hehehehe, Master Meng, why did you forget, Lord Wen is the governor of Dongchang!"

Meng Tianchu gave a thumbs up, nodded in admiration, but smiled secretly in his stomach, they took the original Young Master Meng Tianchu's birthday, and it was a fart, anyway, it was a blind person, and he didn't bother to say it.

Gonggong Li said again: "After counting the days, the wedding date is set for the eighth day of the first month of this month, and I will marry by worshipping heaven and earth." ”

Yes! Xia Fengyi and Meng Tianchu coincidentally called out, the eighth day of this month? Today is the third year of junior high school, and there are only five days! It's not that they are worried that they don't have enough time to prepare for the marriage, but that they are worried about how to deal with this shrew with such a little time.

After agreeing on the wedding date, Zuo Jiayin was in charge of preparing for the wedding. Meng Tianchu was going to personally invite Murong Yuxue back again, but Xia Fengyi said that it would be better for her to go, and it would be better for women to talk to women, and they would also appear to be more sincere. Meng Tianchu agreed, and asked Zhu Hao and Li Linjing to take Xia Fengyi and Feiyan to Murong Huixue's residence again, and be sure to invite her back.

After they left, Meng Tianchu came to the back garden.

In the past, Meng Tianchu wanted to sit here as long as he had time, the goldfish in the pond were playing freely, the weeping willows were swaying in the wind, and the roses, roses, yueji, amaranth, and begonias in the garden had already bloomed, everything was so comfortable and natural.

After returning from outside the city, he came straight here, walked to the pavilion, he stopped, and looked at the small building called "Duwan Pavilion" not far away, he couldn't walk.

That small building was originally used for Jiayin and Fengyi's book collection, both of them liked to read, and then it was repaired, but both of them were inconvenient, so they were idle, and now there is a woman locked up in it, the woman who is about to become her own woman.

Wen Wen had already seen Meng Tianchu coming from afar in the attic, she had made enough trouble, scolded enough, she had been locked up here for several days, except for the people who delivered food, food and fruits, she couldn't see others, no one dared to ignore and abuse herself like this since she was a child, she changed from the initial anger to the current grievance.
