Meng Tianchu smiled with satisfaction and said: "I hope you are really good, gentleness always makes everyone tremble, gentle, I haven't asked you before, today I want to ask you seriously in front of everyone, if you don't answer me honestly, I won't believe you anymore in the future, and everyone won't believe you anymore." ”

He nodded gently and said, "Tianchu, you just ask." ”

Meng Tianchu thought for a while, and said solemnly: "This time you escaped death, everyone has merit, I just saw you crying bitterly, as if you woke up and understood, I want to ask you seriously, this time you really figured it out, and you won't show us the same drama as the previous times, right?" ”

Zuo Jiayin was about to stop Meng Tianchu, gently pulled Zuo Jiayin, looked at Meng Tianchu and said: "Tianchu, I don't know what to say, I have done too many things to be sorry for everyone before, but today I am gentle and really not making a show for everyone, I really know that I am wrong, I hope to give me another chance with everyone, if I do it again, you kill me, I won't snort." ”

Zuo Jiayin: "Okay, okay, Tianchu, Gentle already knows that it's wrong, so don't say it again." ”

Gentle walked out of bed, walked in front of Xiao Wei and knelt on the ground, and said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Concubine Xian, Gentle knows that I am wrong, please don't care about the villain, don't be embarrassed by Tianchu and Fengyi, Gentle Mouth does not choose words, and I have disappointed your kindness, it is all Gentle's fault, please forgive me." Xiao Wei sighed, bent down to help Wen Rou up, and said, "Gentle." I hope you really know that you are wrong, living at home, what you want is bland. Although I haven't known Brother Meng and the four of you for a long time, I have seen all the stories that happened between you one by one, and Brother Meng is not an irresponsible man. He loves each and every one of you, and even dared to openly refuse to marry Miss Yin in front of the four of you in order to promise the four of you, of course, Miss Yin is also unwilling to marry, aside from this, Brother Meng is a man who is affectionate, righteous and responsible. ”

Nodding gently, Xiao Wei continued: "Okay. I'm really leaving, I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow. I wanted to go to Beijing with you and Brother Meng, but Long Live Lord urged me again, and Xiaonuo also wanted to enter Beijing, and the He family was also anxious to meet their future daughter-in-law, so... Okay, we'll see you in the capital. ”

Gentleness: "What? Does Xiaonuo really want to marry someone else? ”

Xiao Wei looked at Meng Tianchu meaningfully. Meng Tianchu hurriedly looked away, and Xiao Wei said, "Gentle, then who do you think we Xiaonuo should marry?" ”

Gently looked at Meng Tianchu and said, "Tianchu..."

Xia Fengyi stepped forward and said to Meng Tianchu: "Tianchu, I know and understand what Wen Rou wants to say. I don't know what Feng Yi and Feiyan think. But I think if you love Xiaonuo. Don't let her marry a man she doesn't like, are you willing to do it? Don't think that if you give us a promise, you will close the door of your heart, Xiaonuo can not even want your life for you, it is enough to see that she also loves you, although you always say that she is a little girl, but you see, people are about to become someone else's bride, what are you still sitting here for? ”

Gentle: "Tianchu, I have also figured it out, anyway, if you marry one, you will marry, and if you marry a few, as long as you marry a woman, they are all loved by you, and they all love you like the four of us, then you can marry, the rules are set by people, don't wait to miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Everyone laughed, Meng Tianchu was a little embarrassed, and said, "What are you talking about?" Xiaonuo is nothing but mine..."

Feiyan grabbed Bai and said, "Good sister! I knew you were going to say this, the four of us are not such unreasonable women, and if you miss it, you will want to cry when the time comes, and we will not come to comfort you. ”

Everyone laughed again, Xiao Wei walked up to Meng Tianchu's side and said, "Brother Meng, there is still one day, you can think about it yourself." If you decide, just tell me, and I'll think of it with you, okay? ”

Meng Tianchu: "Thank you for your kindness, I think Xiaonuo will be happy if she marries the He family, and I..."

Xiao Nuo, who had been outside the door, suddenly broke in, everyone looked back, only to see that Xiao Nuo had burst into tears, Xiao Wei stepped forward and said, "Xiao Nuo, why did you come in, I thought you were gone." ”

Xiao Nuo ignored Xiao Wei, but walked to Meng Tianchu's side and said, "Tianchu, for so long, I've been waiting for you, waiting for you to say, let me stay, just now, just now, when everyone was persuading you, I thought you would say it, but you... Well, I know today, but I'm just making a promise. With that, Xiaonuo rushed out the door.

Gently walked to Meng Tianchu's side, pushed him, and said, "Tianchu, what are you still doing in a daze?" Go ahead! ”

Meng Tianchu: "But... Snow..."

Xia Fengyi: "Xue Xue, let's go and say, you hurry up and chase it." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at everyone, and saw that everyone was looking at him with encouraging eyes, so he turned around and chased out the door.

"Xiaonuo, you wait for me."

Meng Tianchu chased Xiao Nuo at the door, and grabbed Xiao Nuo's hand, Xiao Nuo struggled to shake off Meng Tianchu's hand, Meng Tianchu looked at the underground people around him, and the subordinates quickly hid with a snicker.

Meng Tianchu: "Xiaonuo, you stand up first, you listen to what I tell you." ”

Xiao Nuo said angrily: "What do you say? I heard everything you said, you don't have to explain it to me, I won't hate you, you will still be my Brother Meng in the future. ”

Seeing that Xiaonuo was not struggling, Meng Tianchu took Xiaonuo's hand and said softly: "It was you who said that you were looking for a man who would only love you for the rest of your life, I... I thought I wasn't in your eyes at all, I thought..."

Xiaonuo: "Then who told people to like you so uncompetitively?" Meng Tianchu smiled and said in a low voice, "Then you shouldn't blame me, right?" ”

Xiaonuo: "Then everyone can see it." It's all allowed, but you still refuse, I don't blame you. Who am I to blame? ”

Meng Tianchu looked around and said, "Let's go, let's go to a place where we can talk." \\\Good no good? A lot of servants and maids are peeking at us. ”

Xiao Nuo smiled embarrassedly, obediently let Meng Tianchu take his hand, and the two of them went to the back garden.

Two people holding hands and strolling in the back garden.

Meng Tianchu: "It's not that I don't like you, it's that I think I can't climb high, really." ”

Xiao Nuo snorted softly and said, "Brother Meng, do you want to use a delaying tactic?" ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "Xiaonuo, how can you Brother Meng? What I'm saying is true. Besides, you've told me more than once. You're looking for a man like your father, and I... Consider yourself to be incomparable to your father. ”

Xiaonuo stopped, looked at Meng Tianchu, and said, "I also told you, I am a girl's family, but in order to let you know my heart." I've lost even the reserved nature of a girl's family, what else are you going to let me do? ”

Meng Tianchu: "Xiaonuo, to be honest, at this moment, I feel that I am still in a dream, is it true?" What about your parents. What about the He family in the capital. As soon as I thought about it, I just—" Xiaonuo smiled. Gently leaning on Meng Tianchu's arms, he said, "As long as you are sure that you also love me, then I will follow you without hesitation, but what I want to know is, do you love me?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded affirmatively and said, "In the past, I always thought that my feelings for the earth were between brothers and sisters, but when I knew that you were going to marry someone else, I realized that I loved you. ”

Xiaonuo: "Then why didn't you tell me?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said: "Sometimes feelings are not something that can be said if you want to, the family background of the He family is so prominent, and I... Huh"

Xiaonuo: "Hehe, my sister told me that she wants me to be happy, as long as you and I are really together, no one can break up our land." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Xiaonuo, although I don't deny my feelings for you, do you really want to?" You are a daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, a princess of Fengyang who is given by the long live lord, but if you marry me, you will be just... Alas! Xiaonuo, I can't be so selfish to you, I'm just a prefect of Hangzhou, and this prefect is still your sister to fight for me, before this, I, Meng Tianchu, was just a small criminal master in the county government, I can't think that one day, I will know you, I will be with you..."

Xiaonuo covered Meng Tianchu's mouth and said softly: "I am willing, you didn't force me, besides, love can't be forced, I won't compete with Sister Fengyi and Sister Wen Wen for favor, they fell in love with you earlier than me, they can give up a lot of things, why can't I Xiaonuo?" I can even be ranked behind Sister Yuxue, and it doesn't matter. Just..."

Meng Tianchu saw that Xiaonuo wanted to speak and stopped, so he said, "Just what?" ”

Xiaonuo: "As long as you treat me like you do to Sister Jiayin, I will be content." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Is it in your opinion, I really favor them?" ”

Xiaonuo smiled slightly and said, "As the saying goes, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, but you have to know that there will be a difference between the palms and the backs of the hands with more meat and less meat, isn't it?" It's not me who can see it, you are good to Sister Jiayin, it is everyone who can see that you are good to Sister Jiayin. ”

Meng Tianchu: "I think it's just your delusion, I'm very good to each of them." ”

Xiaonuo: "Okay, I won't argue with you about this issue, as long as you don't disappoint me, I will definitely not disappoint you." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't bear to disappoint Xiao Nuo, happiness came too suddenly, and he was a little unexpected, but since happiness had come, how could he bear to say something disappointing when he looked at Xiao Nuo who was so happy, not to mention that Cheng Ziyi would not agree, even if he could let go, how could the He family give up?

Xiaonuo: "Tianchu, what are you thinking?" ”

Meng Tianchu came back to his senses at this time, pretended to be happy, and said, "Of course I want to be happy, let's go, let's go to your sister to discuss what to do next, okay?" ”

Xiao Nuo nodded obediently, and the two of them held hands affectionately and walked towards the front yard.

Doge's Palace

Mrs. Cheng was suddenly summoned by Concubine Xian Niangniang alone. She was still a little nervous, and Cheng Ziyi went out, saying that she was discussing things with the generals from several state capitals. Of course, she didn't know that Cheng Ziyi was not going to do business, but to meet Xie Zihan, Xiao Wei since she saw Cheng Ziyi and Xie Zihan together that day. has been sending people to spy on him, so naturally he knew that his father would not be able to come back for a while, so he called his mother to his room to talk.

Mrs. Cheng sat opposite Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei was lying on the chaise longue, the sun was already slanting westward, just shining on Xiao Wei's feet, the two palace maids squatted on the ground and gently knocked Xiao Wei's legs, Xiao Wei's eyes were slightly closed. Holding a bunch of purple-red grapes in his hand, he plucked them one by one. When I put it in my mouth, my posture is very elegant, and my expression is very pleasant.

"Niangniang, I don't know what to tell the concubine."

Xiao Wei didn't open her eyes, but said slowly: "Mother, did you get the things you want from Chen Xingpeng?" ”

Xiao Wei didn't mention this matter, but it was okay. As soon as Mrs. Cheng's hairs stood up, she heard that on the day Chen Xingpeng was killed, her daughter was dissatisfied with Chen Xingpeng's bad attitude towards her, so she found someone to kill him, in the eyes of Mrs. Cheng, this daughter has always been more obedient and docile than Xiaonuo. Be kind. When Xiaowei's personal maid snatched her beloved man, she forgave her. Let her come back, why did she become unrecognizable after only a few months of leaving, and it was because she thought that the emperor liked Xiao Wei at the time, so she hoped to find a good home for Xiao Wei, she was a mother, and she was well-intentioned, she didn't want her baby daughter to marry a master who was born to be a fool. But this time Xiao Wei came back, she found that although Xiao Wei still talked and chatted with herself on the surface, she was obviously not as intimate with herself as before, and Xiao Wei's words last time made her frightened for a long time, and today Xiao Wei called herself, I don't know what happened.

"Oh... Oh, take it, take it, and I'll have someone bring it to you. ”

"No, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, mother, don't you want to talk to me for a while?"

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly said, "How come? It's rare for my mother to come back, so I naturally want to accompany you more. ”

Xiao Wei got up slowly, the two palace maids next to him hurriedly followed, one supported, one handed Xiao Wei a handkerchief, Xiao Wei put the remaining grapes in his hand on the plate, and then wiped his hand lightly, smiled and walked to Mrs. Cheng's side, Mrs. Cheng quickly got up, Xiao Wei motioned to Mrs. Cheng to sit down, and then all the subordinates retreated, and after the door was closed, he sat on the chair opposite Mrs. Cheng, still smiling, although he was smiling, he could see that Mrs. Cheng was restless.

"Mother, you..."

"Looking for my mother, I have something to discuss with you."

"Mother, please speak."

"I want you to marry Xiaonuo to Meng Tianchu."

Mrs. Cheng was stunned, she didn't expect Xiao Wei to say this.

Xiao Wei saw Mrs. Cheng looking at her in surprise, so she smiled and said, "What, surprised?" ”

Mrs. Cheng: "Xiaowei... Oh no, don't make this joke with me. ”

Xiaowei: "Do you think I'm joking with you?" ”

Mrs. Cheng: "But the Nahe family? ”

Xiao Wei smiled, got up and paced slowly back and forth in the room. said: "The third lady is still the matchmaker you made, I heard that the third lady and her mother's family still have some origins." ”

Mrs. Cheng: "How do you know?" ”

Xiaowei stopped, looked at Mrs. Cheng, and said: "Some things are not that you don't say, everyone can really treat it as if it hasn't happened, at that time, you can stay with your father for a long time, and you will no longer be so hard to fight all year round, you heard that there is a vacant position of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and at that time, he was good friends with Long Live Lord, and the relationship was very close, and you also knew that in addition to being warlike, he was lustful, so you introduced the third lady to Heran, and he really fell in love with the beautiful third lady at first sight, You took the opportunity to let Heran say good things in front of the Long Live Lord, your trick is really tried and tested, you know that Daddy's term of office is about to expire, and there is no real job after going back, worried that Dad can't stand it, so he sent me to Long Live Lord, but you found that although I gave it to Long Live Lord, but Long Live Lord's interest in women, originally not as interested in alchemy, you are worried that my move will not play a practical role at a critical time, so you aimed at the He family, the third son of Herald, who does not learn and has no skills, and mixes with Long Live Lord every day, Studying the art of immortality, do you think that as long as someone can get close to the Lord of Long Live, you will have a chance to make your father seek a fat shortage after returning to Beijing, mother, you are dedicated to your father, but you put the happiness of your own daughter at risk, right? ”

When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she was scared out of her sweat, the corners of her mouth trembled, and she said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang, don't say that, concubine... How can you calculate your children like this? ”
