10, the second uncle of the Bai family
"My sister...... How sad it is for my brother to go......"
Bai Rongxin held the coffin and cried.
Meng Qingyun lowered his head and wiped his tears beside him, and actually followed the handkerchief to cover his eyes and quietly look at this uncle.
Medium size, thick eyebrows and wide mouth, a round-necked robe, and a delicate decorative dagger hanging from his waist, even if he is crying, he also exudes a heroic spirit, which is quite incompatible with the Bai family's businessman's identity as the "richest man in Jiangnan". If she had just met a stranger on the road, she might have thought she was a ranger.
Bai Rongxin cried, after all, he was a man, and he would not be like a woman with tears, and it didn't take long for him to stop. He pressed the corners of his eyes, his eye sockets and nose were still red, and he turned to Meng Qingyun and said, "I received a letter from your house the day before yesterday, and your grandmother fainted on the spot. Your mother has been the most beloved since she was a child, and when she woke up, she said she would come in person. ”
Meng Qingyun hurriedly said: "How can this work, the old man is old after all." ”
Bai Rongxin nodded: "Naturally, your two aunts persuaded her." Your uncle and two cousins were out of town touring the shops, but fortunately I had just returned from outside, so I could come in time to give your mother a ride. ”
Meng Qingyun wept and saluted: "Uncle Xie." ”
Bai Rongxin helped her slightly, looked at her face slightly, and said, "Your mother is gone, you must have been very sad, I heard that you are also sick?" ”
Lu Yun said softly beside him: "I burned for three days, and I woke up early this morning, forgetting my family and old things, and the doctor said that I was demented." ”
Bai Rongxin was shocked: "Dementia? I don't even recognize it? ”
Meng Qingyun shook his head shamefully.
Probably too shocked, Bai Rongxin looked at her in a daze, speechless for a while.
Meng Qingyun hurriedly said: "Actually, it's okay, but it's just a matter of recognizing people, uncle, don't worry." ”
Bai Rongxin looked her up and down and said, "I see that you are conscious, your words and actions are orderly, if you just forget the past, it is nothing." As he spoke, his face had returned to normal.
At this time, Meng Zhi and Chen Erlang came over, and Meng Huiyun also followed behind with an unhappy face.
"I've seen Uncle Bai."
With a salute, Bai Rongxin nodded to him.
"This is Chen Tang, the second lang of the Yongkang Hou Mansion."
Chen Erlang believed that he was the son of the Hou Mansion, and he bowed his hand politely to Bai Rongxin, a businessman, and then his eyes fell directly on Meng Qingyun's face. Bai Rongxin saw through the shape of this gentleman at a glance, and sneered in his heart, but he didn't even have a look.
Meng Zhi said: "Jia Yan is not at home, my uncle has worked hard from a long distance, please let the boy serve tea." ”
Bai Rongxin said: "It's me who should go to see the old lady, and you lead the way." ”
This is a due gift, so Meng Zhi led the way and led Bai Rongxin out of the mourning hall and went to Leshoutang.
Chen Erlang stayed, rubbed to Meng Qingyun's side, and whispered softly: "Yuan Niang's face is not very good, is she tired?" It's full of smoke and fire, don't you smoke it? ”
Before Meng Qingyun could speak, Meng Huiyun said first: "Erlang misunderstood, she is either tired or sick, she has a high fever for three days, and her brain is burned out. ”
Green Cloud and Asakusa were right behind Meng Qingyun, frowning at the same time.
Asakusa said: "Hui Niang said cautiously, our Yuan Niang just forgot something." ”
Meng Huiyun raised her eyebrows and was surprised: "It's me who lost his words." Didn't burn out the brain, just dementia. ”
Chen Erlang looked frightened: "Dementia? How serious is it? Oh, Yuan Niang shouldn't forget me? When I was a child, I also caught crickets for you, can Yuan Niang remember? ”
Meng Qingyun remembered a ghost.
Meng Huiyun covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't mention the ugly things you did when you were a child, you can fall into the lake if you catch a cricket, if it weren't for my brother jumping down to catch you, you landlubbers don't know how much water to irrigate." As he spoke, he pushed him on the shoulder coquettishly.
Chen Erlang was pushed by her, but laughed.
Meng Qingyun didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of dog food, walked around them without squinting, and knelt down behind the futon.
Chen Erlang went over with a sigh of relief, squatted next to her and said, "Since Yuan Niang is still sick, you have to take care of yourself, if you are sick, you must be uneasy under Jiuquanxia." He said to Luyun Asakusa, "You two, it's important to help Yuan Niang go back and rest." ”
Meng Huiyun couldn't look at it and said, "How can this be done, where can there be people in the mourning hall?" ”
Meng Qingyun was really a little dizzy and weak, she didn't recover in the first place, but she knelt for a long time to fulfill her filial piety, and her physical strength really couldn't support it, Chen Erlang and Meng Huiyun were chattering in her ears, which made her dizzy and her body shook.
Chen Erlang's eyes were quick, and he hurried to hug him.
Fortunately, Luyun and Asakusa were vigilant and forced to get Meng Qingyun's body back.
"Don't dare to work Langjun, we will take care of you."
The two maidservants clamped Meng Qingyun from the left and the right, and helped her quickly exit the mourning hall from the small door.
Chen Erlang stood in place and watched Qianying go away, raised his left hand and sniffed it, squinting his eyes to enjoy the lingering fragrance of his fingertips.
Meng Huiyun looked at this scene and bit her lip.
Meng Qingyun was just physically exhausted for a while, and he still had the strength to walk back to Huanhua Pavilion, seeing that Luyun and Asakusa were still looking behind while protecting her tightly, as if they were afraid that Chen Erlang would catch up, they couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What are you two so nervous about?" ”
Asakusa said angrily: "What is the prince of the Hou Mansion, I think this Chen Erlang is ghostly." ”
Although Lu Yun didn't say anything, his face was full of agreement.
"Knowing lust and admiring Shaoai, it's just that the young man doesn't know how to restrain himself."
Meng Qingyun didn't pay attention to it, she was thinking about something.
The words Lu and Luo's mother heard at her bedside before waking up, the casualness of her grandmother after waking up, Lu's apparent kindness, and the actual situation at home that Lu Yun told her all made her very vigilant.
It stands to reason that she is just bereaved of her mother, and her father is there, and her uncle's family seems to be quite powerful, and she is not a helpless orphan girl, so the situation is not bad. But why are there always some faint concerns? It's probably Lu's words, "A girl, her father is far away, her mother has passed away, birth, old age, sickness and death are not all in my palm", how can she be so categorical?
The sound of clattering footsteps interrupted her thoughts.
When I looked up, I saw Bauhinia sweating profusely rushing over the gravel road.
"Yuan Niang! Yuan Niang! ”
Ran up to her, still wringing his hands and tiptoeing on the floor as if his feet were burning.
Meng Qingyun said: "What's wrong?" Is there a ghost chasing you? ”
Zijingwa cried out: "Erguanren, Erguanren has an accident......
Erguanren, father?
"What happened to my father?"
Bauhinia pumped and said: "A person from the county government just came to report that on the way home, the second official encountered a rebellion by the rogues, and was coerced by the rebels, and he didn't know where he was lost, and his life and death ......were unknown."
Meng Qingyun's eyes widened suddenly, and there were only four words in his head-woe is not a single line!
