Chapter Seventy-One: Autumn Goes to Winter
Time passed unhurriedly, and autumn faded away, disappearing into the last yellow leaves on the trees. Then, winter crept silently upon the earth.
As Du Xiaomeng had a hunch before, it would be difficult for her to go out again when she entered the General's Mansion.
Old Man Zhan's illness dragged on from autumn to winter, and it was still good and bad. However, his illness looks a little mysterious, and his condition has gradually improved, but once Du Xiaomeng has the idea of retiring and leaving the General's Mansion, his condition will worsen again without warning. After repeating this several times, Du Xiaomeng's plan to leave the General's Mansion has become something that can only be realized in any year or day.
Although Du Xiaomeng was suspicious of Old Man Zhan's condition, her heart, which was already accustomed to living a stable life, was forcing her not to go deeper. She chose to believe that Old Man Zhan was because of his age and weakness, which caused his condition to be repeatedly not improving. made such a choice, in addition to the fact that she longed for a stable and warm home from the bottom of her heart, there were other reasons why her heart wanted to leave was consumed by time bit by bit, such as something, someone. However, Du Xiaomeng will never admit that she will stay for someone, in fact, she has been intentionally or unintentionally ignoring some of the true thoughts in her heart, to be precise, or a kind of escape and self-suppression that even she is not aware of.
The days are too idle, and it is inevitable that there will be more times when you think wildly.
In order not to be too idle, Du Xiaomeng took advantage of the time he had now and had some spare money in his hands, so he ran to do some things. What's the matter? It is to quietly search for a talented person, to see if she can find a master who can explain why she has crossed souls, and to see if she can find a way to return her soul to the modern age.
When she did this, she didn't know why she had all kinds of complicated thoughts in her heart. Rationally, she told herself that going back was the most important thing she should do, but the emotional self said on the other side, since there are people here who love, protect, and spoil you as a relative, and you have a much better life than the days when your father was not there, why do you have to go back?
She struggled with the question of whether to go back or not, but she still tried her best to find the legendary master. However, after she saw a few "masters" who were said to be like immortals and spent a few unjust money, she was disappointed to find that this era was the same as any era, and it was rare to see a master with real skills, and the magic stick that boasted about himself and flew to the sky was full of streets.
With this understanding, Du Xiaomeng is very rational and no longer wastes time and energy to deliberately find someone who is talented. She accepted her fate, fate has its own way of playing tricks on people, you can play tricks as much as you like, anyway, since the day she was born, fate has never given up playing tricks on her, she is used to it. While you can live a stable life now, then don't wronged yourself, enjoy the happy life of the moment, and don't wronged yourself if you eat and drink well.
After the beginning of winter, Yu Tianzheng and Zhan Qi were obviously much less busy than before. In the past, Zhan Qi was busy almost every day until he went home in the evening, and Yu Tianzheng would take Yu Xiaorui to Du Xiaomeng for three or two days to take him to Du Xiaomeng even if he was free. Nowadays, Zhan Qi often appears at home at noon, and Yu Tianzheng also runs to the general's mansion almost every day, either looking for Zhan Qi or Du Xiaomeng.
Du Xiaomeng couldn't understand what the wives and concubines in Yu Tianzheng's family were used for marrying home? Or is it for showmanship? If she hadn't seen the group of beauties in King Rui's mansion, she would definitely think that Yu Tianzheng would have married a group of women who were either like Ruhua, or Sister Xiangfeng, or fierce and spicy women for the sake of power and interests, just like those bloody comedies. However, in fact, Yu Tianzheng's wives and concubines are all gentle and generous beauties. There is a group of beautiful wives and concubines with high overall quality at home, who don't go home to enjoy the blessings of Qi people and linger in the gentle countryside of all beauties.
Relatively speaking, Zhan Qi is much more normal than Yu Tianzheng.
Zhan Qi ran to the Avon Garden whenever he had free time, and went to do the duty of a good husband in peace, and went to the loving little days with Qiusha.
What Yutian Zhengtu wants, it is not within the scope of Du Xiaomeng's control, and Du Xiaomeng doesn't want to care too much about other people's affairs. Besides, although Yu Tianzheng drilled into the general's mansion almost every day, he didn't cause her any trouble, just let her play with Yu Xiaorui, and sometimes gave her a little gift, such as small beads, hairpins and the like; That small gift, in addition to her, Zhan Li will also receive one, since it is not given to her alone, Du Xiaomeng has no reason to resolutely refuse.
However, after receiving a few gifts from Yu Tianzheng, Du Xiaomeng found a problem, that is, the bead flowers he gave to Zhan Li were different every time, but the style and materials given to her were different every time, but each time it must be in the shape of plum blossoms.
After a few times, after Yu Tianzheng gave him a plum blossom necklace again, Du Xiaomeng finally couldn't help but find an opportunity to ask: "Tianzheng, why do you send me something related to plum blossoms every time?" ”
Yu Tianzheng looked at Du Xiaomeng's face with a little surprise for a while, and asked rhetorically: "Don't you like plum blossoms?" When I first saw you, I saw a plum hairpin on your head, and I thought you liked plum blossoms, so I specially chose jewelry related to plum blossoms for you. If you don't like plum blossoms, I'll give you another next time. ”
I thought that Yu Tianzheng was preferring plum blossoms as much as he preferred red, so he repeatedly sent her things according to his preferences. Now I know that there is a misunderstanding in this. Hearing him tell the truth, Du Xiaomeng couldn't say anything more.
Seeing that Du Xiaomeng didn't speak, Yu Tianzheng looked at her with a gentle smile and asked, "Xiaomeng, what flowers do you like?" ”
Du Xiaomeng is not as disgusted with plum blossoms as she is with red, but she doesn't particularly like them. However, it is rude for someone to take the trouble to give you a gift and pick and choose from many requests. So, she pulled an indifferent smile at Yu Tianzheng and said, "There is no special favorite, any flower is fine." ”
"Then next time I'll give you a plum blossom that isn't a plum blossom." Yu Tianzheng nodded seriously, indicating that he had memorized her words.
Du Xiaomeng kept a smile and responded casually: "Okay." ”
When Du Xiaomeng responded to Yu Tianzheng's words, she didn't expect that the next time Yu Tianzheng gave her a gift, the gift would be like a bomb that suddenly exploded, blowing her off guard in an instant, completely destroying the stable situation that she had always thought she had maintained well.
