Chapter 5 Contradictions Emerge
"Young Zhuang Master, the dream housekeeper came to ask if I could go to the hall?"
"The people from the second and third rooms came, how did they react?" Dream Ruchen flipped through the scroll in his hand, saw the place that needed to be marked, picked up the pen, and wrote and drawn.
"As soon as the second master came, he shouted loudly to see the young owner, but the third master didn't react, just comforted the third lady." Tianyi inquired about the news of the secret guard and streamlined the report. "But the second lady mentioned the third lady, and the third master asked a few words."
"Third Miss? Mengyue, I haven't heard this person for a long time, what's wrong, what's going on?"
"Young owner, the second lady said that the third lady made a private agreement with someone for life, but there was no rumor about the matter, but the second master made a move." Tianyi learned the actions of the second master, "The third master's reaction is not very big, but this matter is strange, and his subordinates are investigating." ”
"Now that they've started to sacrifice their daughters, it's funny, so that they know what they want, and I want to see how much appetite they have." Meng Ruchen got up, picked up the handkerchief on the shelf, and cleaned his hands.
"Let's go, if you don't go, I'm afraid they'll all be in a hurry."
The night was deep, there was a breeze blowing, the second and third masters didn't know how many cups of tea they drank, and the maid didn't know how many times they added oil lamps.
The maid came and went, serving the dishes, replacing the dishes that had been cold.
"Housekeeper, have you done what the master asked you to do?" The second master picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth.
"Second master, I haven't bought it today, and tomorrow, the slave will send someone to buy it."
"Second uncle, this is not good at entertaining in the upper room, Fu Bo, go and take out my private carved wine and relieve the second master's cravings." I saw that the green silk was like ink, dressed in a water-blue water-blue brocade robe, walking slowly, like a smiling face in the sun, warm and bright. The night breeze was light, and the candle flame of the lampstand swayed and waved, just like the second master's face was purple and red.
Meng Ruchen's eyes swept lightly, and he looked at the expression on the second master's face clearly, and saluted the third master, "Third uncle, the virtuous nephew is late, don't forget it." ”
The dream is like dust, and the words have already been seated. "Why is the second uncle, do you dislike the food I prepared is not to your liking?"
"That's not it, it's just ......" The second master's eyes were flustered, how could he let the housekeeper buy things, and this was discovered. This little rabbit cub is getting harder and harder to fool.
"Oh? Why doesn't the second uncle sit?" Meng Ruchen didn't have a good airway, picked up the chopsticks on the table in his hand, and chose his favorite dishes.
The second lady pulled the sleeves of the second master, and her eyes went towards the dream like dust, worthy of being a strange son, although he lived in the same house, he was amazed once. The appearance is really superior, and this character is really hard to guess.
"Madam, come, eat this fish, steamed, this weather is suitable for eating lighter." The third master picked up the fish and put it in the bowl, the third lady looked at the third master, the two had gone through many hardships to be together, they both had the same thoughts, and they watched their husbands eat blindly, so she pretended to be nothing.
Meng Ruchen concentrated on eating the dishes in the bowl, and his gestures showed his luxury. "Fu Bo, fill it up for the second uncle, let people warm up some water and wine, the third uncle is not suitable for drinking spirits."
"Young owner, you have already ordered to go down, it will be fine immediately", Fu Bo beckoned, and the maid hurriedly stepped forward to add wine.
"Third uncle, don't blame me for being biased, when my father left, I specially told me that the body that the third uncle had finally raised needed to be taken care of, and the third uncle would take care of it first."
"I said Ruchen, where did you find carved wine, when you smell it, it is sweet, mellow and fragrant, comparable to the drunken beauty produced by Mandarin Duck Tower. A fine wine, it's a rarity. ”
"It's good if the second uncle likes it, but second uncle, I have a question?"
When the second master heard this, he stared at Meng Ruchen, could it be that he was discovered?
Dream Ruchen's warm eyes narrowed, "It's raining......" looked at the second master in a daze, and sneered in his heart.
The maid brought water and wine and filled it for the third master, and the cup was steaming hot, and the clouds were swirling.
"Ruchen, would I like to give you a drink too?" The third master motioned to the maid to pour wine for Ruchen.
"It's okay, Gu Jing might as well obey his fate." Dream Ruchen drank it all, "Yes, the warm water wine also has a unique flavor, this water wine is not intoxicating, the second aunt and the third aunt, also come a little, the family finally got together, tonight is already suppressed, the second aunt and the third aunt don't have to be formal, I just heard, the second aunt and the third aunt chatted happily, can you also let me listen?"
"Ruchen said this, the second aunt is not a difficult person to get along with, but today is different, and everyone is waiting for the decision of the young owner."
"Waiting for me? What can I decide, now my father is still running around, the day of his return home is uncertain, and now there is a ...... in Mengzhuang" Meng Ruchen paused, as if thinking about what to say next.
"The owner of the village is not here, isn't the backbone of the dream family the young owner, and the young owner is not like dust, is the young owner joking with the second aunt, this family, you can't be the master?" The second lady sneered, who doesn't know that the young master of Mengzhuang has the skills to reach the sky, playing sloppy eyes here and teasing people.
"It seems that today's dishes, the second aunt can't like it at all!"
The second lady looked at the gentle dream like dust, and couldn't guess for a while. In the blink of an eye, the three rooms have nothing to do with themselves, like a turtle shrinking, and they can only signal their husbands with their eyes, so as not to come in vain today.
"Don't be like the general knowledge of the women's family, today is different from the past, the dream village has been destroyed, the owner is not there, the next thing is to send someone to Tongzhou to ask the owner to return home, such as dust, do you see that the second uncle is right?" The second master looked flattering, and his small eyes were almost slit.
"The second uncle is right, what about the third uncle?" Meng Ruchen casually picked up the warm handkerchief on the side and wiped his slender fingers slowly. Seeing that the third uncle didn't speak, there was a moment of hesitation in his heart, and after thinking about it, he was still ruthless, "The third uncle seems to have no opinion, the third uncle has always been close to his father, and he will not object to it, but my father has been away from home for a long time this time......"
"October", the third master's eyes that are always evasive and cowardly, but at this moment they reveal a deep cold and terrifying coldness, put down the wine cup, and only heard a crisp sound. Bang, the wine cup in his hand fell down the table string.
"Big brother has been gone for ten months, it's time to go home, Ruchen, you write a letter and send it to Tongzhou", beckoned to the maid who was waiting on the side, and the maid cleaned up in an orderly manner and replaced the new wine cup.
"The third brother shouldn't be sick again, why can't he even hold a wine cup, do you want to invite a miracle doctor to come and see", the second master remembered something, and quickly patted his thigh, "Look at my memory, how can there be a miracle doctor in this mess, I think it's just a traveling doctor"
The third lady listened to the words of the second master, staring at the third master with wide eyes and incredulity, she was fine before she came, why did she commit it again, and bit her lower lip violently.
The third lady's tears dripped down the corners of her eyes, and the mist covered the shadow and anger under her eyes.
She was not born beautiful, with curved thin eyebrows, thin eyelids, and even the color of her lips, which is not the pink she should be. Now I can't even protect my husband and daughter, thinking about the uncontrollable fall of tears.
The second lady changed her kind color, and her eyes permeated with compassion, "Third sister, don't be so sad, Jiren has his own natural appearance, just like the third lady." ”
It's okay not to mention the third lady, but when I mentioned it, the third master's face showed a trace of impatience, and he wiped his wife's tears with a silk handkerchief, for fear that it would hurt. The warm breath exhaled on the face of the third lady, and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, everything is with me." ”
Meng Ruchen turned a blind eye to this, but those eyes were staring at the second room. Deep in my heart, it is like turning over the river and the sea, what is the handle of the third room in the hands of the second room.
"This is strange, the third sister is waiting for the marrying boudoir, why does the second aunt say as if something happened to the third sister, is there a hidden secret?"
The second lady was panicked in her heart, and she couldn't wait to slap herself twice, not mentioning it, how could she forget about it, this kid knew about it, wouldn't the third room have to rely on it again. On the surface, he was respectful, "No wonder Ruchen doesn't know, some time ago, the third lady could have a serious illness, and the doctors said that it was hopeless, but I didn't expect it to get better later, do you say that Jiren has his own natural appearance?"
"It seems that the news I learned is wrong, doesn't it mean that the matter of the third sister is related to the second aunt?"
The second lady looked resentful like the third lady, and she couldn't wait to throw the cup out of her hand, this slut, gritted her teeth, and said, "I want to see who is chewing the root of the tongue behind his back, making something out of nothing." ”
"Since the third uncle is not in good health, let's leave it like this today!" Meng Ruchen got up and walked towards the door, "It's late at night, and it's been hard during this time." Fauber, send-off! ”
"Second master, third master, please!"
The second master shook his hand, his face was ugly, his eyes were disrespectful, he pointed at Meng Ruchen, and suddenly withdrew his hand, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Don't forget what I want, butler."
"Third master, let's go back, it's windy, put on the shawl." The third lady was considerate, and the third master looked at it with a smile, letting the third lady be busy.
"With affection here, it's better to go back and think about how to deal with Mengyue's affairs." The second lady couldn't help but get angry and became aggressive.
The second master saw that the second lady was still staying, "Why don't you go back quickly, why are you embarrassed here!" ”
The second lady was angry, her eyes swept over, and she left angrily.
The third lady supported the third master and left slowly. At this time, the housekeeper Fu Bo had just returned from sending the second master, and he happened to see the third master and saluted, "The third master, the young master asked, has Zhiyan been studying for school?"
The third master sighed, he had always been distracted from the third room, and the child was afraid that he was already suspicious, "Housekeeper, you have been in the dream house for some years, and now, you also need to worry more about the housekeeper, later, I will let Yan'er go to see the young owner." The housekeeper stayed, the night was dark, Wan'er, let's go. ”
Meng Ruchen returned to the study, and Tianyi came to report, "Young Zhuang Master, here is all the information of Miss Mengsan." ”
"You go down first, pay attention to the movement in the second room, and when you see someone coming from the third room, don't stop it, the people in the courtyard should move."
"Yes, the subordinates retired." After Tianyi left, he ordered to go down and thoroughly check the eyeliner in each yard. Many people disappeared quietly in each courtyard, from the last time they were in charge to the maids who cleaned them.
Meng Ruchen took a fancy to the news in his hand, his hands clenched into fists, his face was dark, and he could see that he was angry.
The guard outside the door reported: "Young master, the fifth young master asks to see you."
"Come in" Dream Ruchen returned to its usual tone.
"Second brother", the humble son of Dream Zhiyan, is like a dusty salute, making people unable to find faults, and he is bookish.
"Zhiyan, here, hurry up." Meng Ruchen was steaming tea in his hands, and picked up the teapot to add tea in front of Meng Zhiyan. "Although it's not easy to fall asleep when drinking tea at night, drink a little tonight and taste the tea I brought back. Tianyi, hold back left and right, no matter what happens, don't let people in. ”
"Second brother, I ......" Dream Zhiyan swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"Try it, even if Fauber asked, I'm not sure if you're going to see me." Meng Ruchen took the news that Gang Tianyi had investigated and handed it over, "Take a look!" What to say, what to do, you and I brothers, I don't want to be suspicious of each other, I don't have so many thoughts. ”
The rain that fell before, this rain is said to be fast, and it is said to be fast. Now a crescent moon hangs, and the night sky looks exceptionally clean. Bright and quiet, the lights are now turned off and locked everywhere in Zhuangzi.
Meng Ruchen stood in front of the window, looking at the garden under the moonlight. Looking from here, you can just see the bright moon in the sky, dim and dark.
Sanfang sent his son to the upper room at that time, and the third master begged at that time, "Big brother, you know that I am weak, and I finally got a son who was raised to the age of five, I don't ask him to have the ability to pass through the sky, I just want him to have a smooth life, and it is enough for Sister Yue to be by the side of Sanfang, so I trouble the eldest brother to foster Brother Yan in the upper room." ”
"Nonsense, I will always seek a miracle doctor for you, why are you like this?" Meng Wenxuan's sharp gaze paused on the third master's face for a while, "That's it, if you want to send it, you can send it, in the future, Zhiyan will follow Ruchen to read and write together, and at night he will go back to the third room, and he will not help the third room raise his son for free." ”
"But ......"
"But what, that's your own son, your only son. If you don't agree, just give it up! ”
From that day on, Meng Ruchen began to take his younger brother Meng Zhiyan, who was three years younger, and the two brothers were in the same vein and like brothers.
Later, the two brothers got together less and left more, and they could still write letters from time to time.
This time there was an accident in Mengzhuang, he took a letter of resignation, counting the days, and it only arrived today, as for how much he knew, it depends on whether the two of them are still talking about everything as before.
……
I don't know how long it took, I only heard the hysterical roar of Mengzhiyan, his face flushed, and he picked up something casually and smashed it to the ground, and the thing fell to the ground with a loud sound, smashed and shattered, accompanied by a sharp sound of shattering.
Tianyi heard the sound and prepared to break down the door.
"Get out, dare to take a step forward, get down and get punished." Meng Ruchen raised his voice and roared, "You and I grew up together, and you treat me like this." Sanfang, I think I've been out of it for a long time, I should loosen my muscles and bones", grabbed the clothes on Meng Zhiyan's chest, "You think I don't dare to touch you?" ”
Meng Zhiyan shook off Meng Ruchen's hand and retreated tremblingly, "Yes, the whole Yongguo knows that the power of the young master of Mengzhuang is monstrous, and there are only three rooms, and you don't pay attention to it." ”
Immediately after, Dream Zhiyan slammed the door and left.
The next day, the whole Zhuangzi spread all over the world, and the fifth young master only returned at the end of the day, but he had a big quarrel with the young owner of the village at night, and he was so angry that he left home directly overnight that day, and even the third master and the third lady didn't have time to say goodbye.
