Xiao Wei smiled and walked out of the east courtyard, and came to the front yard to meet Mrs. Cheng, since that night, Mrs. Cheng deliberately avoided Xiao Wei, and even did not make eye contact with Xiao Wei when eating, she was already a little afraid of this daughter.

However, Xiao Wei seemed to have forgotten the previous unhappiness, and shouted with a smile: "Mother." ”

Mrs. Cheng had no choice but to step forward and bow down.

Xiaowei hurriedly helped Mrs. Cheng up and said, "Mother, don't be like this at home, avoid all these red tapes." ”

Mrs. Cheng was sincerely frightened, and nodded cautiously and said yes.

Xiaowei: "Mother, where are you going?" ”

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly replied: "It was Chen Xingpeng who brought back some dim sum from Qiantang, saying that you like to eat, let me go and have a look." ”

Xiaowei smiled and said, "Oh, that's right." ”

Mrs. Cheng: "Then you're busy, I'll go and have a look first." ”

Xiaowei looked at Mrs. Cheng's back and said indifferently: "Mother, so many people in the family can do it, don't eat what you brought back from outside, I'm worried that it won't be clean and your stomach will be ruined." ”

Mrs. Cheng: "No, I'll go and see it first, if it's not good, I won't let people send it to you." ”

Xiaowei: "Okay, but you don't have to go to Chen Xingpeng, ask the housekeeper, probably he handed it over to the housekeeper." ”

Mrs. Cheng was puzzled, but Xiaowei had already gone away.

The fourth day of the gentle burial. In Meng Tianchu's words, God knew his sadness, and it began to rain the next day after he went gently, and the light rain fell intermittently, and the sky seemed to cool down all of a sudden.

After Meng Tianchu and the others moved back to their house, they spent most of their time in the gentle mourning hall, and Jiayin couldn't hold on anymore and fell ill. The house seemed to be dead silent.

Xindi Meng's house has changed a lot, and each lady's yard is different from before, and it is far away. It's a lot better than before.

It was at this time that Zuo Jiayin received Concubine Xian Niangniang in his new courtyard.

Xiao Wei visited every place with great interest, and from time to time he gave a few praises, the Meng family did a funeral for gentleness, and Xiao Wei never came, and he didn't even ask someone to give gifts, as if he didn't know about it at all.

"Jiayin, your complexion is still not good. It's better to get some rest, after all... That's it, that's it, let's talk about something glad, I see, your yard is really chic. And it's so big. Isn't it the largest yard among the sisters? ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled reluctantly, hugged Wen Jin, and said, "No, everyone is similar, I just have one more alchemy room here." ”

Xiaowei was about to pull the topic in this direction, and when he saw that the time had come, he took the opportunity to say: "By the way, I heard that you are making offerings to the hot springs, what are they?" ”

Zuo Jiayin saw Xiaowei asking. Naturally, he knew what Xiao Wei knew, so he said, "It's just some pills that fix qi and nourish the spirit." ”

Xiao Wei saw that he was talking the same as his spies, so he said with a smile: "I wanted to discuss it with Brother Meng first, but when I think about it, he can't refine it. So let's talk to you first. ”

Zuo Jiayin heard that there was something in Xiaowei's words. Then he said: "Niangniang said that it is." ”

Xiao Wei asked the subordinates who were waiting around him to retreat, and even asked the nurse to take Wen Jin away. Only then did he say: "Hot Springs has sent people to Hangzhou as soon as possible, do you know?" ”

Zuo Jiayin nodded.

Xiaowei: "Then you naturally know why he came, right?" ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Yes. ”

Xiaowei: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Niangniang must have thought of a good way to solve this problem." ”

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "No wonder everyone says behind your back that you are Brother Meng's confidant, I think it's like, how can ordinary women be Brother Meng's confidant?" ”

Zuo Jiayin couldn't help but think of gentleness, and her heart was sour, Xiaowei naturally saw the clue, so she changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." ”

Zuo Jiayin snorted.

Xiao Wei said: "Half a month ago, I also sent someone to fly a pigeon to pass the book to the Long Live Lord, the snobbery of the hot springs is very great, you also know that now these eunuchs are in charge, Long Live Lord has spent a lot of time ignoring the government and alchemy, and mixed with those Taoist priests all day long, I thought about it, gentle death, if the hot springs really want to fight to the death with Meng Tianchu as the legend says, then only the Long Live Lord can save Brother Meng, what do you say?" ”

Zuo Jiayin understood, and said: "What does Niangniang mean, only my current Bao can save Tianchu?" ”

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Yes, so I want to send someone to send some of this to Lord Banzai, maybe he will feel good when he eats, not only can he save Brother Meng, but not necessarily, Brother Meng can also be added to the rank for this reason." ”

Zuo Jiayin's mind spun around, and then said to Xiaowei with a smile: "It's still thoughtful, so why don't we go to Tianchu and talk about it first?" ”

Xiao Wei was also very happy when she saw Zuo Jiayin so simply, and said, "Okay, let's go to Brother Meng to discuss it first." ”

The two of them came to Meng Tianchu's study with a smile, Zuo Jiayin walked to Meng Tianchu's study first, first knocked on the door carefully, and saw that there was no sound inside, so he said, "Did you go out?" ”

Xiaowei: "No, so early, where will Brother Meng go?" ”

Zuo Jiayin looked around and saw a maid passing by, so he asked, "Where is the master?" ”

The maid shook her head, and Zuo Jiayin said: "Probably still in the gentle mourning hall, he has been there most of the time recently, Niangniang, let's go there and take a look." ”

Xiao Wei had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and followed Zuo Jiayin to the mourning hall, and sure enough, he saw Meng Tianchu sitting on a chair with his tired hand on his cheeks, his eyes slightly closed, feeling like he was napping.

Zuo Jiayin has been a little embarrassed to meet Meng Tianchu since she left gently, and the two of them seem to be deliberately avoiding each other, especially Jiayin, who has hardly gone out these days, and it is rare for everyone to see her.

"Tianchu. Concubine Xian is here. ”

Meng Tianchu opened his eyes and saw Xiao Wei and Zuo Jiayin standing in front of him, so he quickly got up and gave Xiao Wei a salute. Then he looked at Zuo Jiayin with pity and said, "Didn't you let you lie down alive?" You see that there is no blood on your face at all, and your hands are cold. ”

Zuo Jiayin looked a little embarrassed in front of Xiaowei, pulled out his hand from Meng Tianchu's hand, and whispered: "I don't have anything, Niangniang has something to do with you, you can talk, I'll go." ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled shyly at Meng Tianchu, and was about to turn around and prepare to leave. Meng Tianchu grabbed Zuo Jiayin and said softly: "Jiayin... I, you..."

Zuo Jiayin smiled and said, "I know, Tianchu, you don't have to say anything, you and Niangniang talk about things first." I'm leaving. ”

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "You guys." Don't be so embarrassed for yourself and each other, gentleness is gone, don't you who are alive be depressed like this from now on? ”

After hearing this, Zuo Jiayin couldn't help but feel sad, tears burst out of his eyes, Meng Tianchu couldn't bear it, took Zuo Jiayin's hand, and said, "Jiayin, I'm sorry." It's all my fault, you don't want to be like this, you look at your current appearance, it makes me feel so distressed, or... Let's bury it gently. also let her be buried in peace. ”

Zuo Jiayin: "How can that be?" ”

Xiaowei: "I think Brother Meng's proposal is also very good. Now the weather has not cooled down, so I put it in the house for seven days. Don't talk about the people who go, we living people can't stand it, you look at Tianchu, and then look at yourself in good news, I think it's better to choose a day to be buried gently. ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Niangniang, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this..."

Xiaowei: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's so decided, I'll let people choose a date now, if someone investigates, just say that I decided." ”

Zuo Jiayin was about to speak, Xiao Wei had already walked out of the door, called the prince and whispered a few words, and then came into the house, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll do the gentle things, now let's talk about the matter of the pill." ”

Meng Tianchu was puzzled and said, "Bao Pill? ”

Zuo Jiayin hurriedly told Meng Tianchu what Xiaowei meant, Meng Tianchu listened, although he smiled and said yes on the surface, but looking at Xiaowei, his mind was quickly thinking about Xiaowei's abacus.

Meng Tianchu: "It's still thoughtful, but now there is no more than one of them, how should this be good?" ”

Zuo Jiayin guarded quietly, she knew that Meng Tianchu had her own ideas, so she didn't say anything, in fact, she did a lot according to Meng Tianchu's previous instructions.

Xiao Wei said in disbelief: "How can there be no one?"

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Jiayin, did I forget, I've been busy lately, do you remember it?" ”

Zuo Jiayin said calmly: "Tianchu, you have forgotten, Wen... It's not because we didn't make offerings to her uncle in time, so we're annoyed, why are you..."

Xiao Wei saw that Meng Tianchu was sad again, so he hurriedly said: "Forget it, don't mention this matter, since you don't have it, forget it for the time being, so how long will it take to do this?" ”

Zuo Jiayin: "It was originally very fast, but now there is a lack of a blind leaf in this leaf, or it will not..."

Xiao Wei said at this time, and said: "In this way, it will be difficult to do, but now, since the far water can't save the near fire, then I'll think of a way." ”

Meng Tianchu said ashamedly: "Niangniang, I'm really sorry, you are dedicated to helping me, but I..."

Xiaowei smiled and said, "Brother Meng doesn't have to be like this, you don't have a heart, I said, your business is my Xiaowei's business, I won't make anyone embarrassed for you." Long Live Hope has already sent troops to stop the people in the hot springs and retreat back. ”

At this time, the princess walked in, humbly walked up to Xiaowei, and whispered: "Niangniang, it just so happened that our family asked according to your meaning, and they actually said that today is a good day." ”

Xiao Wei listened to it and said with a smile: "Then let's do it today." Have you asked about the hour or something? ”

The prince nodded and said, "An hour is the best." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Niangniang, is this really going to be the case?" I'm just..."

Xiaowei: "That's it, it's decided, how can you and Jiayin live like this again?" ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Xiaowei insisted like this, so he couldn't say anything, so he had to say, "Then let's go and prepare." ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Tianchu, you can rest for a while." Feng Yi and Fei Yan and I just went to prepare. ”

Meng Tianchu: "How can I rest?" ”

Xiaowei: "Then let's go and get busy together, don't talk about it anymore." ”

After speaking, Xiaowei and Zuo Jiayin went out. Meng Tianchu walked to the coffin, pushed the lid of the coffin open, and saw Gentle and quiet lying in the coffin, wearing the wedding dress he wore when he got married, Meng Tianchu gently stroked his gentle cheeks, and tears poured out again and fell on Gentle's face.

"Gentle, if God really played such a ridiculous joke on you. Then why not let me go? ”

Tears fell on Wen Wendi's face drop by drop in Meng Tianchu's telling, as if she was gently following Meng Tianchu's tears, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sound outside the door began to be noisy, Meng Tianchu knew that the person carrying the coffin was coming soon.

Xia Fengyi led people into the mourning hall, and saw Meng Tianchu crawling on the coffin and crying bitterly, and his heart was also sad. Step forward. Gently pulled Meng Tianchu's hand and said, "Tianchu, gentleness is leaving." Meng Tianchu looked up at Xia Fengyi and said sadly: "With such a big rain, will it wet the gentleness?" ”

Xia Fengyi held back her sadness and said, "Tianchu, you don't want to be like this, okay?" The bearer of the coffin has come, let go. ”

But Meng Tianchu still held on tightly to his gentle hand. At this time, Xiao Wei walked in, seeing Xia Fengyi's embarrassed look, the person standing beside him carrying the coffin did not dare to speak, and when he looked at it again, the hour was coming soon, and he couldn't wait any longer. And he stepped forward. He said to the person who carried the coffin, "You can carry the coffin, otherwise you will miss the hour." ”

"Yes. But Master Meng, he..., we don't... Can't. ”

Xiao Wei said coldly: "Someone, pull Meng Tianchu away for me." ”

A few guards came in from outside the door, and when they walked to Meng Tianchu, they couldn't help but say that they would pull Meng Tianchu away, Meng Tianchu struggled desperately, grabbed his gentle hand tightly, and muttered in his mouth: "You don't want to be like this, it's raining so heavily outside, let's wait until the weather is good, you can't get the gentleness wet..."

Xiaowei stepped forward and said loudly: "Brother Meng, don't be like this, let the gentleness be in the ground." ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head and didn't speak, but his hands still held on to the gentleness, Xiao Wei saw this, so he had to let the guards forcibly pull Meng Tianchu out, and the people on the side looked sad, and everyone cried.

The coffin lid was closed, the person who carried the coffin carried the gentle coffin out of the mourning hall, the rain became heavier and heavier, the courtyard was full of underground people and maids who were about to send off gently, the coffin was about to go out at the moment, Meng Tianchu rushed forward again, everyone did not react at once, a man who carried the coffin was hit by Meng Tianchu, a loud noise was given, everyone was stunned, the coffin fell to the ground like a giant, the coffin lid fell open, and everyone saw the gentleness roll out of the inclined coffin.

Xiao Wei stood under the eaves, her face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but say, "Brother Meng, what's wrong today, how can this be?" I've never seen anything like this ridiculous. ”

The four people who carried the coffin on the ground stood up with a chirp, Meng Tianchu rushed to Wen Wen's side and hugged Wen Wen tightly, and the people on the side were stunned, but Xia Fengyi suddenly understood, and said to his subordinates: "What are you still doing here?" Why don't you hurry up and snatch the bodies of your adults and second lady back from the rain? ”

Only then did the subordinates come back to their senses, and they rushed into the rain to carry Meng Tianchu and Wen Rou under the eaves.

Meng Tianchu hugged Gentleness, Xia Fengyi stepped forward and said, "Tianchu, don't you make Gentleness feel at ease like this?" ”

Meng Tianchu didn't seem to hear Xia Fengyi's words, suddenly looked around in the crowd, and said loudly, "Where's Jiayin?"

When everyone saw Meng Tianchu's expression, they thought that he was too sad and going crazy, so they didn't dare to speak, but Zuo Jiayin heard Meng Tianchu shouting to himself, so he hurriedly walked over.

Meng Tianchu excitedly Zuo Jiayin said: "Jiayin, Wen Wen has been dead for four days, how can there be no corruption?" There were no corpse spots on the face or body! Could it be..."

After hearing this, Zuo Jiayin hurriedly squatted down, checked carefully, touched the gentle pulse, and then put his hand in front of the gentle nose to test the snort, Xiaowei rushed forward and scolded: "Jiayin, Brother Meng is like this because he is sad, why are you messing around with him?" It's been four days since Gentle died, and now you still think she's alive? Someone is coming, put the gentleness back into the coffin, and the hour is coming. ”

Several guards rushed forward and were about to take Wen Rou away from Meng Tianchu's arms, when suddenly Zuo Jiayin shouted: "Don't move, don't come over, I also feel strange, in such a hot weather, how can a gentle body have no signs of corruption at all?" At that time, I also checked the gentle toxin, not Hedinghong, as for what the poison was, I didn't check it seriously at that time, and I wanted to save people. ”

Xiao Wei felt that Zuo Jiayin and Meng Tianchu were already crazy and unreasonable, so she said: "You two don't toss Gentleness and yourselves, do you think Gentleness will come back to life?" ”

Zuo Jiayin didn't care about Xiaowei anymore, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to squeeze the gentle eyeballs, Meng Tianchu knew that Zuo Jiayin was looking at the gentle pupils, he was a forensic doctor, this is the most basic way to check whether a person is really dead, but he was negligent because he was too sad and gentle to die, thinking of this, Meng Tianchu couldn't help but think more and more that he was extremely confused.

Xia Fengyi said to Xiaowei: "Niangniang, let them take a look again, if they don't wait for the gentle burial, they will also feel guilty for a lifetime." ”

Xiao Wei sighed and turned to leave
