Chapter 326: Gentle Temperament
The father-in-law was forced into a corner, and there was really nowhere to go, so he simply cleared his throat and said, "The second lady can say anything she wants." ”
Gentleness stopped, but didn't say anything, only took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Grandpa Li, Grandpa Li looked at Gentleness hesitantly, and then took it, with the word hot spring written on it, no title, no payment, which made people feel that there was a provocation in it.
"Second lady, you... What are you? ”
Gentle and cold, with a frosty face, his eyes stared at Gonggong Li in a daze and said, "Give it to him, as for the rest, you don't have to ask." ”
Gonggong Li found that the palm of his hand had wet the corner of the letter, and his hand couldn't stop trembling, and he couldn't grasp it.
"Miss Gentle, in fact, I think there must be some misunderstanding, you listen to my explanation."
With a gentle wave of his hand, he said, "No need, you can go." ”
Gonggong Li looked embarrassed, turned around and was about to go out, Meng Tianchu strode in with a smile on his face, Wen Rou and Gonggong Li didn't know how to change their faces, and stood there.
Meng Tianchu didn't look at their strange expressions, sat on the chair near the door, and said happily: "It's really a happy event, Fengyi's father also sent a letter, last time we wrote a letter to my father about the adoption of Wenbo, and my father was also very happy, the letter said, although Wenbo and we are not related, but the so-called old and old, young and young..."
"Husband, I was about to send Gonggong Li out, waiting for me to send the guests away. It's not too late for you to tell me. Wen Wen finally tried to squeeze out a smile, and this smile came out in Meng Tianchu, which was uglier than crying.
Meng Tianchu swept the letter in Gonggong Li's hand with his eyes, then stood up with a smile, walked to Gonggong Li's side, and gently and hurriedly signaled Gonggong Li to put the letter away with his eyes.
Gentle hurriedly said: "Oh... Husband. It was a letter from the concubine to the family. Father-in-law Li brought it back. ”
Meng Tianchu cushioned the weight with his hand. It's not light, at least a few pages, and it seems that Gentleness wants to vent happily.
Meng Tianchu couldn't help but say that he put the letter in his arms first, and was about to stop it, Meng Tianchu looked at her deeply, and then said to Gonggong Li with a smile: "It just so happens that the meals at home have been prepared, if the father-in-law doesn't dislike it." It's better to have a few drinks with you, when it is both for you to catch the wind and wash the dust for you. ”
Li Gongcheng was embarrassed and said gently: "My husband has said so, my father-in-law still likes his face and drinks a glass of water and wine before leaving, or go back to the capital and tell people that my Meng family didn't even leave you a meal to eat, then it is our inconsiderate again." ”
Seeing that they all said this, Gonggong Li had no choice but to smile bitterly and follow Meng Tianchu and Wen Rou out of the door of the hall.
Here, Meng Tianchu and Wen Rou welcomed Gonggong Li into the dining room, and Feiyan over there led Wen Po Yang Zheng out of Zuo Jiayin's room.
"It's really Aunt Lao Yang. Next time we'll call a carriage to pick you up from your house. ”
Yang was holding a delicate box in his hand. Inside is the most famous gluttonous snack in Hangzhou, there are only four different kinds of snacks inside, and it will cost half a hanging copper plate. Where is this to eat, it is clear that it is too much to go with money, usually the people who eat this, and only the rich people take the money not to make money, just now the third lady actually said that the food no longer wants to eat, if you don't dislike it, let her take it home to taste, she is naturally eager, just said a few words, understand the third lady's physical condition, looked at the position of the fetus, this question and touch, but a cup of tea, on the reward of five taels of silver, even the Hangzhou prefect's house is only two taels of silver.
Yang listened to this beautiful fourth lady said so politely, and his heart was even more happy, the ladies of the Meng family all looked like flowers, and later learned that the handsome man he had seen before was Meng Tianchu Master Meng, and he admired it even more, he had such a big family business at a young age, and he was really envious of the dead.
"The fourth lady is really polite, I looked at the third lady's fetal position, I will come in three days, rest assured, as long as I am here, the third lady will definitely give birth to a white and chubby child for Master Meng."
"Then you have a good word."
Feiyan smiled and sent Yang to the courtyard, then called a maid and ordered the family carriage to send Yang home, and then stopped to see Yang arrive at the door before turning around, seeing Meng Tianchu and Wen Rou drinking and talking with Gonggong Li, he turned back to Zuo Jiayin's room.
Zuo Jiayin was on the bed made on the mat, and the maid on the side fanned her, she was still sweating, her little face was flushed, and she felt like she had drunk wine.
Feiyan walked to the maid's side, took the fan, and motioned for the maids to go out, after seeing them leave, Xia Fengyi picked up the fan and walked to Zuo Jiayin's bed and sat down, Zuo Jiayin saw Feiyan fanning herself, and she wanted to take the fan herself if she didn't go, Feiyan stopped Zuo Jiayin's hand, and Zuo Jiayin had to give up.
Xia Fengyi plucked one of the lychees that had been washed on the side and gave it to Zuo Jiayin and put it to his mouth, Zuo Jiayin frowned lightly, shook his head, and Feiyan said: "I know that on such a hot day, no one is in the mood to eat, but just now the Wen Po said that you must eat more now, and you will have the strength when you are born." ”
Zuo Jiayin listened, reluctantly opened his mouth to take the tender flesh in his mouth but didn't chew, and said thank you to Xia Fengyi with a smile.
Xia Fengyi shook her fan and looked outside, the maid was still delivering wine and food to the dining room from time to time, but she rarely heard the sound of talking, and occasionally Meng Tianchu laughed a few times alone.
Xia Fengyi said: "Gentle doesn't seem to be very happy these days, always walking alone in the back garden, and the maid is not allowed to accompany her, last night I actually danced the sword in my yard in the middle of the night, today I heard Tianchu say, Gentle seems to have something happened at home." ”
Feiyan took the lychee pulp handed by Xia Fengyi and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "The second lady is good at everything, but she is still a little unsociable, and she doesn't tell the three of us if she has anything on her mind, if there is really something, it is better to go back." ”
Zuo Jiayin finally spit out the nucleus, and then wiped the sweet and greasy corners of his mouth and hands with a wet handkerchief placed at the head of the bed. "Some things are not easy to talk about, if you can
I don't think she will shy away from it, after all, after this runaway, she has completely changed a lot, whether it is for the master or for us, but people's personalities can't be changed. She looks like a very good and strong person. That's why I don't talk to someone about everything. ”
"It's actually even more bitter to be alone." Xia Fengyi sighed. Said.
Feiyan said: "Big lady." What do you think about your parents asking you to go back? Didn't you say you really wanted to meet Wenbo? ”
Xia Fengyi said: "Why can't I leave now, I don't know what the situation is at Gentle Home, Jiayin is about to be born, what if I walk on the front foot, Gentle is also gone?" You can't keep it busy alone. ”
Zuo Jiayin said: "There are so many servants and maids in the family, in fact, there is nothing to worry about. Why don't you take Wenbo back? ”
Xia Fengyi shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it, and it's not the time to go to the door to Zhang Luoxue in the past few days." ”
Feiyan said: "Then when Xue enters the door, you can go again, won't someone help me at that time?" ”
Zuo Jiayin and Xia Fengyi laughed at the same time, Feiyan didn't understand, and looked at the two of them. Said: "What are you laughing at? ”
Xia Fengyi said: "Snow." Probably only to help the master, she can't help you. ”
Feiyan said: "That's not necessarily, although Xue Xue is the master's right-hand man in the Yamen." Maybe you can help me at home? ”
Xia Fengyi and Zuo Jiayin looked at each other, and Zuo Jiayin said, "When Xue Xue enters the door, you will know." ”
Feiyan was still at a loss for the second monk, and touched his head suspiciously.
At this time, Wen Rou walked out of the dining room, Meng Tianchu followed closely behind, walked through an aisle, and Meng Tianchu grabbed Wen Rou.
"Why are you still so impulsive?" The tone was full of reproach.
Gentleness didn't look back, stood in place, and said depressedly: "I'm sorry, I can't help but be impulsive." ”
Meng Tianchu sighed and walked in front of the gentle, at this time Xia Fengyi came over and looked at them worriedly, Meng Tianchu said: "It just so happens that you are here, don't leave Gonggong Li alone in the dining room, you go and accompany him, we will come immediately." Xia Fengyi nodded, turned around and walked towards the dining room.
Meng Tianchu looked at the gentle eyes, his eyes were already red, tears were rolling in his eyes, his small mouth trembled, his head tilted, trying not to let his tears flow out.
Meng Tianchu wiped away the gentle tears with his hand and said softly: "I know you are very wronged, but I only learned about your father today... You made a lot of sacrifices to get your father to sit in that position, including marrying me. ”
Gently stretched out his hand to cover Meng Tianchu's mouth, and said: "Don't say it, I admit it, at first, I was willing to marry you obediently for my father's Zhan Shifu, but that hot spring actually recommended a cronie around me to that position for his own selfishness, and my father is her own brother." After saying that, I couldn't hold back my crying anymore.
Under the blue sky and white sun, there are subordinates and maids who come and go, and Meng Tianchu is not too good to comfort the gentleness with his actions, so he has to gently stroke his gentle hair and whisper: "Then do you think you are wronged if you marry me?" ”
Wen Rou quickly shook his head, and Meng Tianchu said, "Then you don't get nothing, right?" Today, I also heard that your uncle is probably not having a good time recently, so it is possible to make a decision to stop your father for the time being, after all, it is his own brother, he has not done much, you will preemptively write a lot of inexplicable words to him, and if you don't do it, it will make your father difficult in the court. ”
Seeing that Wen Rou stopped talking, Meng Tianchu continued: "Besides, your uncle actually feels very sorry for you, and has always treated you as his daughter, if you do this, I am worried that it will affect your uncle-nephew relationship, and secondly, it will also affect your father's career. ”
Hearing Meng Tianchu say this, he looked at Meng Tianchu with tears in his eyes and said, "Really? ”
Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "That's nature. ”
After listening gently, he lowered his head, bit his lip gently, and said, "Then am I impulsive again?" ”
Meng Tianchu pretended to be angry and said, "Yes, you are impulsive again, I don't know why you are so impulsive?" Please use your brain more in the future, my talented girl! After learning so many poems and songs, and the ways of sages, all your impulses are ruined at a critical time, and I think your name is wrong. ”
Gently looked up at Meng Tianchu, stuck out her tongue, the tears on her face had not yet dried, but the corners of her mouth showed a smile, Meng Tianchu scratched her little nose, and said: "Crying and laughing, the yellow dog is urinating!" The gentle pink fist gently landed on Meng Tianchu's chest, and he said in a loud voice: "I hate it!" ”
Meng Tianchu smiled softly when he saw it, so he said, "The letter will be torn, okay?" ”
Gently and meekly nodded.
"Okay, it's not easy for Gonggong Li, people are so old, Teng, you have to look at the face of the second lady of your Meng family, she will drop the cup and leave at every turn, and I want my Master Meng to chase you out to comfort you and coax you, how big is your face?"
Gently and guiltily, he said: "I know I was wrong, and I won't dare in the future." ”
Meng Tianchu said: "I hope I really don't dare, if I do it again in the future, then it's not to coax you, I'm going to whip your little ass with a whip to correct the family rules." Look at the three of them, which one dares to do whatever he wants like you, it's really bold! ”
Gentle giggles, but there is a hundred warmth in my heart.
"Alright, let's go to the dining room, the meal is not finished yet, let's go."
nodded gently and obediently, and followed behind Meng Tianchu's buttocks.
The two of them returned to the dining room one after the other, Li Gongcheng and Xia Fengyi were talking, and when they saw Meng Tianchu and Wen Rou coming in, Li Gonggong first looked at Wen Rou's face cautiously, and when he saw that she didn't look angry, he was also relieved.
