Yuan Yuqing said with a smile: "Xingmei is a hero among our women, and some men can't compare." I'll add some more to my grandparents' cups and drink slowly. Zhenzong, wait a minute. ”

She nodded a few more drops into Old Lady Wu's already full wine cup, and said to Liu Xingmei, "You clear the cup first." ”

Liu Xingmei didn't refuse, she took the wine cup and drank it dry as soon as she raised her head.

Yuan Yuqing poured her a full cup.

Liu Xingmei stood up.

Old lady Wu said: "Yuqing, you should replace it all if you accompany Xingmei to drink a cup." Zhenkun Zhou Ma tired all the way, and after eating, he went back to rest early, but he couldn't drink it well and waited for tomorrow. ”

"Okay, listen to Grandpa." Yuan Yuqing said. Among the six concubines, she has a lot of alcohol.

At this time, Yan Fangci and Wu Huan returned to the house, Wu Huan said: "I gave food, but the dog didn't eat it, I don't know why?" ”

Wu Jinqi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Fangci said: "It's strange to say, the dog is guarding Zhenkun's horse, and he doesn't run anywhere." ”

Liu Xingmei said: "It's okay, I'll take a look later." ”

Yuan Yuqing then found an empty cup and poured it again, and raised the cup with Liu Xingmei.

Liu Xingmei looked particularly cold and moving under the candlelight, and her pink and handsome cheeks seemed to be coated with a layer of rouge. Tao Zhenkun couldn't help but feel moved when he looked at her, so he asked, "If you can't drink it, don't be reckless?" ”

Liu Xingmei just smiled faintly and didn't speak, but there was a faint bitterness in that smile. She reached out and patted the wine gourd on her waist, as if to show off her amount of wine, so she took the cup and took the initiative to touch Yuan Yuqing, and then raised her neck to see the bottom of the cup, and then said: "Thank you!" ”

"It's so bold!" Yuan Yuqing praised and drank the wine.

At this time, Liu Xingmei really wanted to get drunk, only when she was drunk could she forget everything, otherwise she really didn't know how to face her husband! That's when she realized that drinking a lot of alcohol is not a good thing, because it's difficult to get drunk! When you first try to learn to drink, you don't need to drink too much, and you will have a kind of fluttering and wonderful experience in the rapid haze. But now, the wish that was so easy to get at the beginning was difficult to achieve, as if it was far away from her, as if it had been carried away by a light time!

Mrs. Wu said: "That's all for today's wine, if you don't drink it well, you will continue tomorrow, then you will eat." ”

Others have no intention of persuading them to drink again, because the couple is reunited after a long absence, and it seems a little unsatisfactory to let one of them get drunk.

Liu Xingmei said: "I won't eat anymore, I'm not hungry, you use it slowly, I'll go out to see the black tiger." ”

She walked out.

Others were a little stunned.

Liu Xingmei came outside, the moonlight was bright and the stars were shining. She didn't see the black tiger, so she walked to the stable, and saw the black tiger guarding Tao Zhenkun's grazing horse in front of the trough, with several horses and two donkeys on the trough. In front of the black tiger squatting, there was a food bowl. When it saw its hostess, it got up to greet her. Liu Xingmei saw that there were a few vegetables and white rice in the food bowl, of course, meat was indispensable, and its treatment was not much inferior to that on the table, which was something that some people in the village had no chance to enjoy! But the black tiger didn't eat it, just guarded it.

Looking at the black tiger, Liu Xingmei couldn't help but think of the bright years that accompanied it day and night, and she was full of emotion.

"Let's eat!"

At this time, the black tiger lowered its head to enjoy the delicious meal, it turned out that it was waiting for its master to speak (it was precisely because it had been abiding by the rules set by its master that it would escape under the booby trap of the vicious Zhu Le with a nest head mixed with rat medicine).

Liu Xingmei stroked the black tiger and said sadly: "Black tiger, you ungrateful thing, your farewell, let me not say how worried I am, he asked you to protect me when he left, but you are good, you disappeared all of a sudden!" Do you know what happened after you were gone? Mei Xiang - she died, she hurt you in vain, you didn't protect her, and you didn't protect me! If only you were there, I would-have—"

In the midst of her choked voice, she burst into tears. She can only complain about a brute, how can she blame her?!

The black tiger seemed to notice the abnormality of the hostess, so he looked up at her, as if he was stunned, and then lowered his head to eat.

Liu Xingmei untied the wine gourd in her waist, unscrewed the lid, and drank a big sip as soon as she raised her head. The Lin family's wine is not as mellow and refreshing as the aging daughter Hong, but she likes this kind of spicy momentum, which seems to be able to numb her sensitive nerves. How she wanted to forget all the misfortunes in a drunken state, to use alcohol to cleanse everything that shouldn't have happened, and to return to the past of honesty and confidence. But, in any case, there is no path that can be found back in the path that has been traveled!

This festive night full of enthusiasm has left her very lonely and sad, feeling like being trapped in a miserable cage, and no one in the world shares and bears her feelings at this time!

After a while, the people in the house finished eating and walked out politely accompanied by everyone in the Wu family.

Liu Xingmei didn't say much, and untied the reins of the horse and held it in her hand before going to the trough.

Yan Fangci, Gu Xiang, Ning Ke, Gao Meiping, Yuan Yuqing, and Ai Feiling, the six concubines, stepped forward to say kind words to Liu Xingmei.

Yan Fangci said: "Xingmei, you have to come tomorrow!" ”

Liu Xingmei said: "Okay, I'll bother and make trouble again." ”

Gu Xiang said: "You are a VIP, so you can't talk about disturbance and trouble." ”

Gao Meiping said: "You will always be a popular person in the Wu family. ”

Liu Xingmei was moved by these words and said, "Thank you! Then I won't help clean up the table. ”

Yuan Yuqing said: "So many of us don't need you. ”

Effie Ling said, "Wait until tomorrow I will see you and your fifth sister-in-law fight for wine." ”

Yuan Yuqing said: "Because Zhenkun has just come back, Xiao Beisheng is newly married, otherwise he will definitely compete with you." ”

Liu Xingmei said: "I am willing to accompany you." ”

Yuan Yuqing said: "A word is a certainty. ”

The people of the Wu family politely sent Tao Zhenkun, Liu Xingmei, and Tao Zhenzong out of the gate.

Tao Zhenkun said: "Everyone, please stay, see you tomorrow, and go back to the house." ”

Old lady Wu said, "You and your husband must come tomorrow!" Zhenkun has won glory for our village, which is more worthy of celebration than the New Year! ”

Tao Zhenkun said: "Thanks to the love of the old man, I will not refuse." ”

Walking on the road, Tao Zhenkun said: "I want to go to Zhenzong's house and see the uncle and aunt." ”

Liu Xingmei said: "It's late, it's better tomorrow-"

Tao Zhenzong said: "What's this night, go ahead, my father and mother must not have slept, and when I hear my brother coming back, I must want to see it." ”

So, I went.

Tao Qiyue and Luo Fang saw that their son did not go back, and knew that Tao Zhenkun came back and was left by the Wu family for dinner. The husband and wife were naturally happy to see Tao Zhenkun, but the current identity of Tao Zhenkun was unthinkable to them, and they also had a sense of glory.

Similarly, Tao Zhenkun sent a bag of snacks and doubled the money owed. It's just that when he saw this couple, his heart was very sad, because he remembered his parents who died prematurely!

After coming out, Tao Zhenkun said that he was going to Miao's house to see his brother Miao Yunchang's father, but Liu Xingmei didn't say anything. But she was thinking in her heart: You must want to see Wu He!

Now she doesn't care about it anymore!

In the Miao family, it was also welcomed, of course, dim sum and candy were given as gifts. There is a chess game on the kang, and it seems that the grandfather and grandson are playing. It's just that Tao Zhenkun said something intimate to Wu He in front of others. After talking for a while, the key topic was that Tao Zhenkun mentioned that he would go to the grave tomorrow to pay tribute to his parents, and Wu He said that he would also follow Miao Yunchang by the way, all of which were to offer a heavy sorrow to the deceased.

When he walked out of Miao's house, Tao Zhenkun did not carry Liu Xingmei and stuffed a large amount of money into Wu He's hand when he sent it off, because Liu Xingmei knew that he had taken Wu He's money, and Wu He accepted the money after some excuses. And Wu He, who also paid a longing, had a suppressed joy in his heart when he saw his lover returning, especially when he saw that he was not what he used to be. But for apologizing for not conceiving his child, a widow is brave enough to put aside worldly ideas and have a child for a good friend, which needs to be condemned by gossip. Because Liu Xingmei did not give birth, she wanted to give birth to a descendant for the Tao family instead, and she did not covet the idea of usurping Liu Xingmei's position, it can be said that this purpose is very simple.

Tao Zhenkun saw that Wu He's belly had not grown, which made him relieved and disappointed.

The black tiger and the chasing wind in the courtyard are playing, and the animals also have to have mother-child affection, but I don't know if they still know each other.

On the way home, Tao Zhenkun also hugged Liu Xingmei to the horse again, and the two rode back.

Wu He, a woman with a sad expression, was left behind who was standing at the gate and watching.

Tao Zhenkun looked at Liu Xingmei, who was silent, and asked, "Meizi, I'm back, why can't I see you happy?" ”

The black tiger left his mother and followed.

Liu Xingmei said lightly: "Everything has changed, you are no longer the original you, I am no longer the original me, what is there to be happy about!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's all changed, and there's no going back to the way it used to be!"

"What do you mean?"

"You are a soldier, and you are an official, do you still want this family? I'm still -"

Tao Zhenkun smiled and said: "There are more soldiers in the world, what is the official of this sesame grain, I am still me, my home will always be my home, you will always be my woman, everything has not changed, you think too much." ”

Liu Xingmei sighed and didn't say anything.

"I heard that you saved the two young masters of the Wu family from the kidnappers, shot and killed two spies, and saved a female fighter of the Anti-United Nations, you are so brave."

"That's just an impulse, I have to do it!"

"I'm proud to have a wife like you."

"I should be proud to have a heroic husband like you, but I can't!"

Tao Zhenkun put his arm around her shoulders and said, "We should all be proud of each other." ”

In this hazy moonlit night, the corners of Liu Xingmei's lips pulled up a wry smile that Tao Zhenkun couldn't see, and she didn't speak.

Tao Zhenkun asked: "What happened to Jiao Heng and Hua Rui, Old Lady Wu is not allowed to gamble, and they are unwilling to open up wasteland and farm, do they still rely on Hua Rui to sell their bodies to live?" ”

Both men and women always like to keep the topic on the romantic characters who have attracted much attention.

"The two of them have long since died in the 'Valley of Hell'."

"What, what's going on?" Tao Zhenkun was greatly surprised, because he had not heard the news about the death of the two people from the Wu family.

Liu Xingmei said: "Jiao Heng colluded with two kidnappers to kidnap the two young masters of the Wu family for extortion, and because Zhang Qi owed prostitutes on credit and Jiao Heng who collected debts, Zhang Qi was beaten into a vegetative state by Jiao Heng, and the stamen turned out to be a Japanese, who came to China as a comfort woman, she ran out of the humiliation and came here with Jiao Heng, her name is Sakura Maiko." It was Old Lady Wu who was angry and sentenced two people to death! ”

"How can such a miracle occur?" Tao Zhenkun's nerves were strongly shocked and shocked.

"There is nothing more strange than this!"

"Oh! What could that be? ”

Liu Xingmei hesitated, and said quietly: "It's better not to say some things, and if you say them, it will make people annoyed!" ”

"What the hell is it, is it still a matter of secrecy?"

"Anyway, you won't be interested in it anymore after you know it!"
