Wei Guogong looked at the painting in his hand again, and said word for word: "She is now the fiancée of the Prime Minister." ”

Chu Zifeng only felt that a gust of frost wind blew, freezing him from head to foot, and he couldn't snort for half a day.

"What, scared?"

"No......" Chu Zifeng looked at Wei Guogong suspiciously, and said, "If you want to say that she is with any petty official, I believe it, after all, Chu Yu is always pestering her." ”

"Chu Yu?" Wei Guogong laughed again and again, and sighed deeply, "That's right! Chu Zifeng, do you know who Chu Yu is? ”

"Of course I do, my cousin!"

This time, the person who froze was replaced by Wei Guogong, and he was shocked: "What did you say?" ”

"Chu Yu is my cousin." Chu Zifeng replied impatiently.

"You mean, his surname is Chu, not Gu?"

"Nonsense! He is the son of my third uncle, and I have the same surname, but he left Xuanzhou with her mother when he was a child, three or four years ago, he sent his mother back to his hometown for burial before coming back, who knew that as soon as he came back, he abducted my daughter-in-law! ”

The old servant beside Wei Guogong said: "Master, Mrs. Gu died three or four years ago, and Gu Xiang was not in Beijing for half a year."

Wei Guogong pondered alone for a while, and nodded, "He really isn't Gu Zhan's son." I remember that when Ye Zhi mentioned Gu Xiang to him for the first time, he also asked about the name Chu Yu, and at first he thought that Gu Chuyu was deliberately incognito in the market, but it turned out that there was another reason.

Chu Zifeng saw that Wei Guogong was distracted, and hurriedly urged: "The paintings are all for you, hurry up, find someone, bring Xiao Mei'er back to me." ”

"The old man can't do this, on the contrary, if he knows that you are here, let the old man hand you over, the old man has to do it."

"What do you mean?"

Wei Guogong said with a smile: "Chu Zifeng, your brother is the prime minister, and he covers the sky with one hand in Daning, how did you get mixed up to the point of falling into the grass?" ”

Chu Zifeng's eyes widened, "What? Is he the prime minister? ”

"Can the old man still lie to you?"

Chu Zifeng turned back into the house, sat on the bench, and said in a daze, "Can my little Mei'er still come back?" ”

"The person who led people to chase and kill you along the way is called Liuyue, it is your cousin's subordinates, it seems that you are not brothers, but enemies."

"Isn't that a hate...... Person...... Well......" Chu Zifeng muttered quietly. His father robbed Chu Yu's father's house, and he almost led someone to dig Chu Yu's mother's grave, this revenge is simply uncommon!

"What, scared?"

Chu Zifeng tried to inquire: "That, Lord Guogong, I'...... Can I still get my little plum back? ”

"Didn't you say that the Xiao family had a marriage contract with you? Since she has a marriage contract with you, that person should naturally belong to you, rest assured, the old man will help you seek justice. ”

"Actually......" Chu Zifeng swallowed.

"What's not to say directly?"

"Xiao Mei'er's father wanted to marry her to me, and he also asked the matchmaker to write a wedding post, but the wedding post was torn up by Xiao Meier...... tore it, and then she went back to her hometown in a rage, and her father didn't let her rewrite ......"

When the bright moon was in the sky, Mei Xiaoren walked on the street alone with his hands in hand.

Last time, she still had the yamen to go to, and she still had business to be busy, so she had no time to think about it, but now she is an idler, so idle that she doesn't even know how to spend every hour.

Nothing else occupied her heart and brain, so that his words were locked in her mind like shackles, so that she could not do anything if she did not want to.

With nowhere to go, Mei Xiaoren looked up and felt that there was a place to stay. She entered a nearby wine shop, sat down in the lobby on the first floor, and told Xiao Er to take the wine.

Wine can relieve a momentary sorrow, and a long night that is difficult can solve a moment.

There are many guests in the wine shop, the lobby is noisy, and only Mei Xiaoren's table is quiet.

The wine glass in her hand was empty and full, full and empty, and a pot of wine could not stand drinking, and soon bottomed out.

Mei Xiaoren's cheeks had begun to redden, but she was clear and not half drunk, so she asked Xiao Er to change the pot of stronger wine.

She drank alone until late at night, her ears becoming quieter and quieter, and the diners left one after another, except for her holding on to her glass.

If she lets go, where will she go?

Just after the hour when the city gate was locked, a group of forbidden troops passed by Dongshibei Street, most of the shops on the street had closed, only this wine shop was still open, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Xiaomei, why are you here?"

Mei Xiaoren didn't notice anyone passing by outside the door at first, but it wasn't until this sound came that she slowly moved her eyes to look outside, her eyes were confused, as if she was drunk.

She just glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, picked up the flask and continued to pour it into the glass.

Ye Zhi came in, dragged the wine glass in her hand and persuaded, "Xiaomei, don't drink it." ”

Mei Xiaoren shook his head in a daze, reached out to take the teacup on the table, and continued to pour wine.

"What's wrong with you, why are you drinking here alone?"

"Leave me alone...... I can still drink ......."

Her voice was soft and slow, with a deep sense of intoxication.

Ye Zhi looked at the empty wine jug on the table, although her amount of wine was good, she couldn't stand such a way of drinking.

"Let's go, I'll send you back."

Mei Xiaoren raised his hand and moved, "I won't go back!" ”

Her brow furrowed, and there was both drunkenness and anger in her words.

Ye Zhi turned around and ordered his subordinates to go first, then sat down, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaomei, did you have any conflicts with the Prime Minister?" ”

Mei Xiaoren nodded a few times.

"And where are you going tonight, are you going to stay here for the night?"

"I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to drink." She hooked the corners of her mouth and drank the wine from her glass.

"Xiaomei, can you tell me what happened?"

"It happened......" Mei Xiaoren looked at Ye Zhi and suddenly smirked, "I forgot." ”

"Is it because of ...... I? Ye Zhi tried to ask, and said busily, "Xiaomei, don't go and intercede with the Prime Minister for me, the Prime Minister has been in power for many years, and no one can refute his decision, if you speak rashly, the Lord will definitely be unhappy." ”

Mei Xiaoren only cared about drinking and did not respond.

Ye Zhi went to snatch the wine glass from her hand again, "Don't drink it, I'll send you back, and explain to the adults by the way." ”

Mei Xiaoren didn't give it alive or dead, broke free of Ye Zhi's hand, and said stubbornly: "I won't go back, and you don't need to explain." ”

"If you don't explain, you and the Prime Minister ......"

Mei Xiaoren picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips, didn't rush to drink, opened his lips and asked, "Old Ye, why do you care about me so much?" ”

"Because ......"

"Because they're good friends?" Mei Xiaoren looked at Ye Zhi and smiled in a daze.

"Because you're important to me......"

The smile on Mei Xiaoren's lips did not decrease, and he answered casually: "Friends are important." ”

Ye Zhi was silent and lightly locked his eyebrows.

A forbidden army came to report: "Major General, there is an urgent matter in Nanying, please go back and deal with it." ”

Ye Zhi had to leave, looked at the night outside and looked at her again, and said, "Xiaomei, if you don't have a place to go tonight, I will ask people to clean up the house in the south of the city as soon as possible, and you will go there to rest in a while?" ”

"Hmm."
