Chapter 163: Return the Guqin
When Song Wenyu rushed to the room, Ah Jin had already woken up. Ah Zhen was feeding her a mouthful of soup, and the master and servant didn't make any movement when they saw him come in. In the end, Ah Jin asked Ah Zhen to go out, and the little girl reluctantly put down the bowl and withdrew.
Song Wenyu walked to Ah Jin's bed, picked up the white porcelain bowl, and wanted to continue to feed Ah Jin, but Ah Jin refused. I saw her shake her head and whispered, "Put it down, I'm not hungry anymore." ”
Song Wenyu glanced at the remaining half bowl of soup, and didn't say anything, "How is it, is it better?" He put the soup bowl aside and looked at Ah Jin with a concerned expression.
"It's much better, it's just a small injury," Ah Jin looked at Song Wenyu intently, and that kind of greedy and heart-wrenching look made Song Wenyu dislike it very much.
As if he was afraid that Ah Jin would run away, he grabbed Ah Jin's hand, but found that her palms were really cold, "Why are your hands so cold." ”
He babbled, and then probed the back of his hand to Ah Jin's forehead, and found that the temperature of her forehead was also unusually cold. Song Wenyu frowned, and held Ah Jin's hand tighter, "I'd better call the doctor to come and take a look." Why don't you just ask Doctor Wei to come over? ”
"No, he was also frightened by yesterday's events. I told him to go home and call him sick and take leave, and not to leave the house for a short time," Ah Jin said as he coughed a few times, "Besides, I know my physical condition in my own heart, and he can't see it." ”
How could the internal injuries suffered by the forcible use of the Thousand Faces Technique be cured by an ordinary doctor?
"Are you ......" Song Wenyu suddenly remembered what Ah Zhen said this morning, he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
"Do you really not want to see the crown princess for the last time," Ah Jin saw that Song Wenyu was about to speak and stopped, thinking that he was thinking about this matter.
When Song Wenyu heard this, he stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of her nose, "Do you want me to go like that?" ”
"No," Ah Jin smiled, after a morning of rest, her pale lips finally regained some blood, pink and tender, looking like peach blossom petals, "I just don't want you to regret it." ”
"How many more days do you think she'll last?" The topic became heavy again because of a dying life.
"It's hard to say. Sooner or later, things ......" Ah Jin sighed, for this woman, her feelings are complicated. But if she has the slightest hostility towards herself or is not pure in the first place, it will not make her so angry, "She is very good, you were happy with her at the beginning, and you really didn't see the wrong person." ”
"That's all in the past, so don't mention it...... Poor Yidi, who has a deep affection for the prince, but ends up like this. Song Wenyu was guilty. After all, everything started because of him and ended because of him," and now, her family thinks that she died in the fire, and she will not even see her for the last time. ”
"Is it so important to see it," Ah Jin half-leaned back on the bed, thoughtful, "maybe it is her greatest wish to go quietly like this." If I hadn't set that fire, Zhu Liangxin would probably have made a big fuss about her reputation. Because that's the only way to stop you. This kind of technique is exactly the same as her original handwriting to slander Concubine Liang. ”
Years later, the same poison, the same fire, the same nowhere to be found, appeared again in front of the saint. Ah Jin thought with some schadenfreude that Zhu Liangxin must be very anxious now.
"It's just that Zhu Liangxin is not stupid, she will definitely hold Meng Yidi's death so that Xiao Shuo can get out. If you want to win, you need to hurry. ”
Unconsciously, the two talked a lot, and Ah Jin suddenly felt a little tired, so he fell asleep again. Song Wenyu looked at her falling asleep on the edge of the bedpost, and felt distressed. He stood up, carefully put Ah Jin into the quilt, and carefully tucked the quilt for her, and then walked out of the room with a light step.
But as soon as he left, the door was pushed open.
"Girl," said Jane, who came in and sat on the edge of the bed. Ah Jin, who was lying on the bed, was clearly awake, "Girl, there is a letter from Zhuangzi, saying...... Miss Meng is gone. ”
"Well," because he had already been mentally prepared, Ah Jin quickly accepted this fact, "Before leaving, did Miss Meng wake up?" ”
"Yes, I also told Miss Shen about the future," Speaking of this, Ah Zhen's face was embarrassed, "Miss Meng means that she doesn't want to keep this body, and wants Miss Shen to take her ashes back to the Medicine King Valley and sprinkle them in the Baihua Mountain Pass." She said...... She doesn't want to be born in the royal capital in the next life, she just wants to be a wildflower in the mountains, growing with the wind and passing away with the wind, so uncomfortable. ”
“…… Just do what she wants. After all, it was her last wish," Ah Jin said, struggling to sit up. After counting the hours, she should take the pill that Shen Yu prescribed for herself.
"Girl, do you still care about others? The pavilion master allowed you to come back before, just to let you come back and say goodbye to your uncle. Injuries on your body...... If you don't go back to the uninhibited mountain, how can you be cured? ”
Ah Jin silently took the pill and swallowed it, the medicine was bitter, but her face did not change, "When I see him, I can't say anything else." You make me think about it again. ”
Ah Jin lowered his eyes and replied softly. Ah Zhen pursed her lips, although she was anxious, she didn't persuade again, "Miss Meng still has a wish." What she meant was that if she could, she would ask the girl a favor and send her guqin back to the Meng Mansion. ”
"Okay, I know," Ah Jin took a bowl of sweet soup from Ah Zhen's hand, took a few sips, and suppressed the bitterness in his mouth and heart.
Song Wenyu returned home in the evening, and Ah Jin told Song Wenyu the news of Meng Yidi's death. The husband and wife sat opposite each other and did not speak for a long time. Ah Jin looked at Song Wenyu's forbearance and was not very embarrassed.
Who would have thought that one day, the two of them would be silent for the same woman. After a while, Song Wenyu finally moved, "Ming'er happens to be Mu Xiu, I'll take that guqin to Meng's house." ”
"It's not appropriate for you to go, so I'll go. You don't want to show up. Ah Jin said as he coughed a few times while covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
"But you look like this now, I don't feel at ease if you let you go alone," Thinking of Meng Yiwei's reckless man, Song Wenyu's head hurt. It didn't matter if he was fighting himself, he was worried that the reckless man would lose control of his temper and hurt his Ah Jin.
"It's okay, I've been entrusted with the return of the relics. For the sake of Miss Meng's face, they will treat me politely, hello is waiting for my news at home. As he spoke, Ah Jin patted the back of Song Wenyu's hand to show comfort.
That's it. But the husband and wife didn't sleep all night, and they didn't sleep much. Early the next morning, as soon as the morning dawned, Ah Jin got up and freshened up, and knocked on the door of Meng's mansion with the guqin.
The porter of the Meng Mansion saw that it was the young lady of the Song family who came to visit, and although he was a little surprised, he still didn't dare to slack off. Ah Jin just waited by the door for a while, and the porter hurried back to lead the way.
"Let Young Mrs. Song wait for a long time, my eldest Langjun said, please go to the side hall and wait for a while."
"Okay," Ah Jin nodded, and took Ah Zhen to sit down in the side hall under the guidance of another servant, and after a while, two more maids came to serve tea and melons and fruits. After that, no one came.
"Girl, is this Meng Dalangjun deliberately hanging us?" Ah Zhen held the guqin in her arms and asked indignantly.
"It's okay, let's wait slowly," Ah Jin lowered his eyes, took off his veil and took a sip of the tea soup that had been warmed. Tea is good tea, and even if the owner of the Meng Mansion no longer treats her as a guest, he does not deter in this regard.
Ah Jin glanced at the tea soup in his hand with some tears and laughter, and ate a few pieces of fruit after putting it down. She was a little hungry early in the morning. Ah Zhen couldn't help but be abrupt when she saw her girl so calm and relaxed.
At the same time, Meng Yiwei also got the news in the room about Ah Jin's indifferent treatment. He frowned slightly, only to feel that he had been slapped in the face. Luo Xin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and had just put the child to sleep, waited for the next person to go down, and gently persuaded: "You have also been hanging for an hour, and it would be too inappropriate not to show up again." ”
"It's not appropriate for their Song family to come to visit my Meng family at this juncture," Meng Yiwei said hatefully.
"How so? The more times like this, the more the Song family must not avoid suspicion. Otherwise, wouldn't those gossips that ruined Miss Meng's reputation become true? There is nothing wrong with the young lady of the Song family doing this. Luo Xin said it very fairly, which made Meng Yiwei's old face red.
Thinking of Meng Yidi, who didn't know life and death, his eyes also turned red, "Pity my sister......"
"Ah Wei, you are a smart person, you should know that this matter has nothing to do with Song Dalangjun, and Ah Di is innocent with him. Some people in the palace want to make a fuss about this, just to avoid goods for some people. "Since Luo Xin has had a child, her temperament has been a lot warmer, and her previous appearance is still vaguely there, but most of the time, she will be accustomed to patiently teaching earnestly.
In comparison, Meng Yiwei seemed a little childish.
He stood up and muttered quickly, "I know, I'm going to see her and see why she came to my Meng Mansion," and as he spoke, Meng Yiwei stood up and walked out, so angry that he didn't look like a guest, but like he was going to collect debts.
Luo Xin was worried, so he ordered the little guy who was waiting outside the door to follow quickly.
Let's say that Ah Jin is eating and drinking in the side hall, so he is not arbitrary. Suddenly, she paused to drink tea, and the next second she raised her hand to put the veil back on. When Ah Zhen saw this, she knew that someone was coming.
Meng Yiwei pushed the door and came in, and saw Ah Jin sitting elegantly on the side. If he hadn't glanced at the melon and fruit bowl on the table, he really wouldn't have seen that Ah Jin had eaten here before, "Young Lady Song has been waiting for a long time. ”
"Fortunately, the concubine thought that the Meng Mansion was planning to keep the concubine for lunch," Ah Jin smiled, not leaving any affection for Meng Yiwei.
Meng Yiwei's face was red and white for a while, and the guilt he had for Ah Jin before was gone. The daughter of a businessman, if she is really sharp-toothed, she will be repaid. Thinking like this, his expression became a little colder, "I don't know what happened to Young Lady Song's visit today." ”
Ah Jin turned his head and bowed slightly to Ah Zhen. Ah Zhen got the order, held the guqin in both hands, respectfully put it on the several cases in Meng Yiwei's hand, and lifted the corner of the brocade wrapped in the guqin.
Meng Yiwei only glanced at it, and his face changed, "Why is this piano here with you?" ”
"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and I have met once in the Prince's Mansion. At that time, she gave me this guqin. Later, when she entered the East Palace, we met again, and that time she told me that if something happened to her, she would ask me to send this guqin back to Mengfu to leave a memory for you. Ah Jin's half-mixed statement made Meng Yiwei suspicious, and at the same time very shocked.
Ah Jin was clearly hinting at her, Meng Yidi had long known that she would end up like this. His hands trembled uncontrollably, he gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "What Young Lady Song said really shocked me. ”
Ah Jin lowered his eyes, and he didn't argue with the rain, "True or not, what's the point now." Qin, I have already sent it, and the concubine body is goodbye. ”
With that, Ah Jin stood up and saluted Meng Yiwei. Meng Yiwei saw that she was leaving, and hurriedly called: "Slow! What do you mean by those words? ”
Ah Jin stood with his back to him, not turning. She sighed lightly, "Meng Dalangjun, haven't you thought about it?" Why is Shen Yu such a secret thing for my old lady's medical treatment known by the queen, and she still knows so many details? Who attached the grievances suffered by the crown princess to her? Please also ask Meng Dalang Jun Mingjian. ”
Meng Yiwei breathed a little, his throat choked, he shook his head, and sat down in his chair. When my hand was lowered, I accidentally touched the strings. A single sound, like a cry, echoed in the room. Meng Yiwei was in a trance, as if she saw her sister sitting at the piano table, plucking the strings mischievously, and suddenly she raised her head and saw him, smiled at him, and disappeared.
"Ah Di ......" Meng Yiwei's painful voice echoed in the room, Ah Jin couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, and walked straight out of the side hall with Ah Zhen.
The pavilions and pavilions of the Meng Mansion, the small bridges and flowing water, compared with the Song Mansion, are more exquisite, and the area of the mansion is huge, if it is not for the guidance of the small servants, it is really easy to get lost.
"This little brother has worked hard," came to the gate of Mengfu, Ah Jin thanked the little guy softly, and was about to get in the car and leave. I saw a richly decorated carriage parked at the gate of the Meng Mansion. She subconsciously stopped and took a look, and found that it was the etiquette of the Prince's Mansion.
Ah Jin looked away and got into the carriage with Ah Zhen's support, "Ah Zhen, let's go." ”
"Oh," Ah Zhen commanded, and followed Ah Jin into the carriage, "girl, why did you look at the carriage and look wrong. ”
"If you see the plague god, are you still willing to greet him with a smile?" Ah Jin asked rhetorically, and when he saw Ah Zhen looking at him with a confused expression, he reluctantly added, "The carriage just now belongs to the Prince's Mansion." At this time, he was able to use the car of the Prince's Mansion, and he also came to the Meng Mansion, either the prince or Meng Yihan. I don't want to see either of them. ”
"Oh...... But the girl's carriage was moving so quickly just now, and I don't know if they saw it," Ah Zhen suddenly realized, and suddenly became a little worried about this matter.
"That's better than just taking a picture." Ah Jin lazily replied with such a sentence, and then stopped making a sound. She was busy early in the morning, and now that the matter is done and her spirit has relaxed, she is really tired.
Meng Yiwei returned to the room in a daze and relayed Ah Jin's words to Luo Xin. When it was over, he looked at Luo Xin with some trepidation and said, "What does she mean by this?" Is she dividing our Meng family? ”
Luo Xin lowered his head and looked at the child who was still asleep in swaddling clothes. The childish child slept soundly, which made people happy just by looking at it, "Husband, if I say that I believe what Young Lady Song said, will you be surprised?" ”
Meng Yiwei stared at her with wide eyes, if what Ah Jin said before was just something that made him feel unbelievable, then Luo Xin's words were tantamount to giving him a slap in the face, "You mean, she really did it......"
Meng Yiwei is not stupid, so he can naturally think of who the most suspicious person is. Luo Xin pursed his lips and didn't speak, just waiting for him to digest the matter slowly. At this moment, a maid suddenly came in to report that Meng Yihan was back.
When Meng Yiwei heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy. Luo Xin saw that he stood up without saying a word and was about to go out, so he hurriedly called him, "Where are you going?" ”
"Now that she's back, I'm going to ask if this has anything to do with her!"
"Confused!" Luo Xin lowered her voice and reprimanded, in order not to wake up her sleeping son, she pulled Meng Yiwei aside, and then said softly: "What is the use of you going to question without evidence now?" On the contrary, it will affect Mrs. Song. ”
"So what?" Meng Yiwei looked at Luo Xin angrily.
Seeing that he was so impetuous, Luo Xin knew that he couldn't let him meet Meng Yihan today no matter what, so he proposed: "You stay in the room, and I'll go to my mother-in-law's place to entertain the second girl." ”
After that, she beckoned the nurse to carry her son back to the cradle, comforted Meng Yiwei a few words, and then went to the main courtyard of Meng Wan's family. Right now, Meng Yiwei is angry, so naturally he can't be as calm as Luo Xin and take a long-term view.
No matter what the truth of the matter is, Miss Meng is gone, but the Meng Mansion is still there, and there is still a second girl Meng next to the prince. Luo Xin knew very well that as long as the second girl Meng did not lose power, the Meng Mansion would not break with Meng Yihan on the surface.
Thinking of Meng Yidi, who had already died of incense, Luo Xin couldn't help but sigh. She was originally a tiger girl, how could she be used to these flies and dogs. But for the sake of her husband and children, she had to endure more.
Before I knew it, I had walked to the boundary where Meng Wan's family lived, and there was a faint sound of crying inside. Luo Xin stood at the gate of the courtyard and took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and then walked into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the door, he really saw Meng Yihan sitting next to Meng Wanshi, and comforted Meng Wanshi softly. Hearing the sound of the door, he raised his head and saw Luo Xin, so he stood up and said to Luo Xin, "Sister-in-law, you are here." ”
"Ah Yao just fell asleep, so it was delayed for some time," Luo Xin saluted Meng Wanshi, and then took Meng Wanshi's hand and comforted him softly, "Mother-in-law is so sad, I'm afraid I'm going to cry badly." If Ardi knew, he would be sad. ”
"To live to this age, my life, don't do it. I just hope that God can open his eyes and exchange my life for my family's life," Meng Wanshi said, and cried again.
Luo Xin sighed and gently stroked Meng Wan's back until she was in a stable mood before saying, "Mother-in-law, you haven't slept all night, it's better to drink the tranquilizer now and rest for a while." ”
"No, I can't sleep, I can't sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, I was full of Ati's voice and smile, how could I fall asleep? My heart is like a knife, this is ripping out my heart and liver! Meng Wanshi beat his chest and cried, crying to the end, Xu was really out of strength, so he leaned on Luo Xin's shoulder and sobbed in a low voice.
Luo Xin whispered to Meng Wanshi to drink the decoction, and then let the two grandmothers help her to bed. After finishing all this, Luo Xin focused on Meng Yihan, but saw that she looked like a beautiful and wandering person, and her crying expression did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
She knew that Meng Yihan was not sad. Her superficial kung fu is just for others to see. Luo Xin lowered her eyes, just to hide her disgust for this woman, "Why did Madam suddenly return home?" What did the prince say? ”
"His Royal Highness has just experienced the pain of losing his wife, and the concubine is also immersed in the grief of losing her sister. I didn't want to come back to make me sad, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sympathetic to our Meng family and always wants me to come back to see, so I'm ......."
Meng Yihan didn't say anything more when he said this, just wiped his tears with a silk handkerchief.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife have a heart," Luo Xin bowed slightly towards Meng Yihan.
"Sister-in-law, you can see the outside world when you say this, although the concubine is now a member of the prince's mansion, but after all, she is still a girl from the Meng family," Meng Yihan looked at Luo Xin with red eyes and said sincerely: "Speaking of which, why haven't you seen my brother today." ”
"Your eldest brother has something to do, so I don't want to ask too much. At this time of the day, he is basically in the study. ”
"Oh? But the concubine heard the concierge just now say that the eldest brother had received guests before...... It seems that it is still someone from the Song family? ”
Meng Yihan was so tempting, and Luo Xin was not surprised. I thought in my heart that when the young lady of the Song family left, she happened to collide with Meng Yihan. She smiled, without a trace of other emotions in her eyes, and replied gently: "It's the Song family, it's the young lady of the Song family, the Song Shen family." However, she didn't come to find your eldest brother, she came to me. ”
"I see, I didn't expect my sister-in-law and the young lady of the Song family to have some friendship," Meng Yihan didn't delve further, but every word he said was hidden in a needle.
"I don't dare to be a little friendly. They all live in the inner city, plus Song Dalangjun is good friends with your eldest brother, so it's not surprising that we have some contacts between us. Luo Xin was not annoyed, and continued to look at Meng Yihan good-naturedly.
Meng Yihan glanced at Luo Xin deeply, only to feel that after not seeing him for a while, Luo Xin had changed a lot. After a long time, she smiled brightly: "Sister-in-law got it." ”
With that, she returned to her previous graceful appearance. It's as if the woman who sat here grieving and missing her relatives had nothing to do with her at all.
