Chapter 37: Overboard
Pei's father and Pei's mother went to add some firewood, and talked with them enthusiastically, and Yuan Xian listened with relish on the sidelines.
Later, I don't know who pulled the topic on her and Wei Wei, and most of the next thing was around Wei Wei. Looking at his father's proud face, he praised Wei Wei for having nothing in the sky and in the ground, and Yuan Xuan covered his mouth and was overjoyed.
Wei Wei looked indifferent, neither nervous nor impatient. No matter what others say, he just responds with a faint smile.
After sending these people away, Yuan Xuan and Pei's mother went into the kitchen, and Wei Wei and Pei's father chatted alone in the courtyard.
I don't know what we talked about, but when it was time to eat, she sensitively noticed that Wei Wei's mood was not very good. Although he quickly adjusted, she was not at ease.
Happy times are always short-lived, and soon it's time to separate, and Yuan Xuan waved his hand so that his parents didn't have to send it anymore.
After walking out of the village, Yuan Xuan couldn't wait to ask Wei Wei: "Husband, what happened to you at noon?" Did my dad say something that upset you? β
Wei Wei's expression was complicated, and he turned his head to look at her and said, "Dad told me, let me study hard to gain fame, and don't be affected by you." If it is because of you that I have delayed my future, I will go to the Wei family and invite myself to come down to the hall and take you back to live. β
Hearing this, Yuan Xuan was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, her eyes widened and she couldn't believe it, how could her father say such a thing to Wei Wei?
What was her dad to her? Is it just an object that has been given to someone? Say that you can take it back?
She felt so bad that she didn't know how to answer, so she didn't say anything.
Although Wei Wei said that she didn't have to care, saying that she would marry her husband and her father's words would not decide anything, Yuan Xuan still felt very sad.
When she arrived at the house, she locked herself up and didn't even eat dinner. For several days, she snuggled up in her room and read a book, and she didn't go anywhere.
On the sixth day of the new year, Wei Wei sighed and entered the room, and said to Yuan Xuan, who was holding the book as soon as he opened his eyes: "Don't look at it, lady, change your clothes, and accompany me to visit Meng Fuzi." β
Thinking of Meng Jingrou's thoughts about Wei Wei, Yuan Xuan cheered up and responded: "Okay, wait for me for a quarter of an hour, and I'll be fine soon." After the words fell, he went to change into festive clothes.
After the two of them packed up, they went out with a thick salute and went to the town to ride the ox cart first.
When he arrived at the county seat, it was already the end of the hour, the Meng family lived in the bustling street in the south of the city, and after the ox cart stopped at the gate of the "Meng Mansion", Yuan Xuan sorted out his clothes and got out of the car.
The door of the Meng Mansion opened widely, and at this time, several men dressed as scholars came out of the Meng Mansion with a smile, and nodded to him with a kind smile as they walked past Wei Wei.
Wei Wei also nodded to them, and after passing shoulders, he and Yuan Xuan walked up the steps hand in hand.
The subordinates of the Meng family were very kind, and after entering the ceremony, they quickly came over with a smile and led the two into the house.
I walked along the winding verandah to a cobblestone road, and after a while I came across a fork, and instead of taking the side of the pond rockery, I passed a bamboo garden and stopped in front of a wooden house.
Meng Fuzi was drinking tea at the door, he looked at Wei Wei and Yuan Xian who were getting closer and closer with a complicated face, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.
If it hadn't been for his wife's obstruction, his favorite protΓ©gΓ© would have been his son-in-law.
At this time, Yuan Xuan saluted with Wei Wei, stepped aside with a respectful face, and watched the two of them play chess and drink tea.
They are not serious, because Meng Fuzi sometimes asks questions to test Wei Wei, so sometimes a son will be left behind in the middle of the night.
But even so, it was very complicated for Yuan Xuan, who studied every piece on the chessboard intently.
Suddenly she heard a noise coming from the opposite side of the bamboo garden, she was stunned and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
After a while, a shadow appeared in front of him, it was Meng Jingrou that day. She was followed by a little maid in a velvet yellow dress, who was looking at her master with an anxious face.
Meng Fuzi's face changed slightly, and he looked at his daughter who was being grounded by his wife and said, "Jingrou, why are you in such a hurry?" But your mother asked you to come? β
When he said this, he asked his daughter to go down the steps.
But Meng Jingrou didn't know whether she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, she looked at her father who had always loved her with a look of grievance and said, "No, daddy, my daughter heard that my brother Xuancheng was here, so I wanted to come and see her." β
Yuan Xuan's face remained unchanged, but his heart was tightly pinched.
Meng Fuzi's face turned blue and white for a while, and he looked at Wei Wei apologetically and said, "Xuan Cheng don't think about it, this kid treats you as a brother, so he will lose his sense of proportion for a while." β
Wei Wei looked at him and smiled lightly, nodded noncommittally, and offered his farewell.
Meng Fuzi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his daughter with a secret warning, and got up to see him off.
Wei Wei and Meng Fuzi walked in front, although they were talking to him, but their eyes were looking back.
Meng Jingrou was unusually quiet, but she didn't know when she walked to Yuan Xuan's side, which made Yuan Xuan's heart feel a while.
What everyone didn't expect was that when he came to the fork in the road, Yuan Xuan would fall into the pond on the other side without warning.
Yuan Xuan, who fell into the water, didn't expect that Meng Jingrou would push her so boldly, wasn't she afraid of being seen by others?
The pain in her ankle made it impossible for Yuan Xuan to move at all, and the cotton coat was filled with water, which made her soon begin to sink.
Wei Wei heard a plop in the water, and when he turned around, he didn't see Yuan Xuan's face shocked, and before he could react, Meng Jingrou's maid shouted for help: "Come on, Wei Niangzi has fallen into the water." β
Four or five men surrounded the pond in an instant, Wei Wei understood Meng Jingrou's intentions, and he turned pale at those people: "Get out of here." β
The other four men instinctively took a few steps back, but one of them, dressed as a subordinate, pretended not to hear, jumped into the water with a thud, and swam towards Yuan Xuan's position.
Wei Xian's heart was furious, and after he took off his coat, he quickly jumped into the water, and reached Yuan Xian's side one step ahead of him.
Yuan Xuan was holding her breath in the water at this time and waiting for Wei Wei, fortunately, she used to like to bury her face in the water and hold her breath, and there was no problem if she could hold on for two or three minutes.
Her eyes bent when she saw Wei Wei, beckoned to him, and pointed to her feet.
Wei Wei was very surprised that she could still stay awake, and when he saw her pointing to his feet, he instantly realized it, and swam to her side and hugged her in his arms.
After coming out of the water, Yuan Xuan breathed in the air, looked at Meng Jingrou, whose face suddenly froze, and said with a cold smile: "Husband, she suddenly pushed me down, I want you to help me take revenge now."
Since she wants you so much, then you clearly tell her that she wants to eat swan meat. β
Wei Wei suddenly smiled, he smiled dotingly, looked at Yuan Xuan's wet eyebrows and said, "Okay, according to you, as long as you are happy." β
