Chapter 66: Concubine!
The latest chapter of the Jinse
Xiao Ling originally thought that he only needed to hide alone and lick his wounds quietly this day. But unexpectedly, at noon, Meng Tian sent Meng Shu. When Meng Shu saw Xiao Ling, he felt that she was not very good in either her state of mind or her face. He hesitated for a moment before he spoke:
"Madame. Let me tell you. I'm going to meet my new aunt in a moment." Meng Shu also saw that there must be something wrong with the body he said. Plus she must be very sad when she goes at such a time. He kindly suggested, "Madame, you seem to be sick. If it's uncomfortable, don't go. I'm going to talk to my father."
I still have a lot of respect for Xiao Ling, the main Mengshu. He has always watched her and his husband slowly walk together. Seeing that they had become like this, he also made Ji Ting, Wang Tuo, and several of them very anxious. I just don't know how to help them.
"Thank you." Xiao Ling smiled weakly at Meng Shu. Now she is really uncomfortable. Even if you are sitting, you need some support to be able to sit up straight. Knowing that Mengshu is doing this is a good intention, and I also know that this may be the best choice for my physical condition. But she still refused: "No need. I'm fine, you go back and tell the duke that I'll go when the time comes."
Meng Shu was a little worried about Xiao Ling's current situation. But he didn't dare to disobey her. Then he turned and left.
Xiao Hui saw that Meng Shu left and disagreed with Xiao Ling's decision. Said worriedly: "Miss Xiao. You can't even stand up now. What else to do. When the time comes, it will not help the improvement of the condition. It's better to listen to Mengshu's words and don't go."
"Yes, ma'am. It's okay to be without you on such occasions. Besides, you're sick like this, and no one will blame you." Like Xiao Hui, Ah Jīng is also worried about Xiao Ling's current situation. It's just that what she didn't say was. She thought in her heart that Xiao Ling would only be stimulated by this trip. Then why torture yourself like this?
Although Ah Jīng has never really loved someone, he has been by Xiao Ling's side for the past few years. Looking at what happened between Xiao Ling and Meng Tian. Looking at Xiao Ling's sadness and happiness every time. She probably also knew that it would not be good to watch her beloved man and Xiao Ling with another woman.
It's just that what they don't know is that what Xiao Ling wants is to be sad himself. It's about experiencing for yourself what true despair is. Now that this love is hopeless. Then she had to break her heart completely. Will give up completely. In Buddhist language, this is probably the so-called "rebirth of Nirvana".
It's just that she doesn't know if she can really be reborn in the flames. But she knew that after witnessing this happening, she would definitely make herself feel the despair of being burned physically and mentally. As for the result of this, either she will never be reborn. Either that's a new life. She didn't care anymore no matter what.
But for the two girls who still care about themselves. Xiao Ling was still grateful: "Ah Jīng Xiaohui thank you for caring for me so much. It's just that this time I'm going to go anyway. This is also an explanation to my heart. It's also an explanation for all these years."
Xiao Ling's words made the two girls a little puzzled. It's just that she didn't go any further. Stretched out his hand and smiled at the two of them, and said with some pity: "I don't have any strength now. You can help me put on some makeup."
Ah Jīng and Xiao Hui glanced at each other. Only then did they step forward together and help Xiao Ling to the dresser. Xiao Ling didn't wear much makeup before, but his face today is really bad. If you don't wear makeup, such a pathological appearance in front of others will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. So it's still a little bit more sophisticated.
In the past, when she needed to put on makeup, she used to make it for herself. But today, she couldn't even lift her hands, so she had to do it for her again. After a short period of smearing, Xiao Ling's originally pale little face became a little ruddy. It also covers up the pathology.
After putting on makeup, Xiao Ling asked Ah Jīng to find himself a pink dress. Wearing it on such an occasion will not rob the protagonist of the style. It doesn't seem rude. This is exactly the result that Xiao Ling wants. After all, this time she is just a spectator, an audience to witness her heartbreak.
"Do you know who this concubine is going to marry this time?" Ah Jīng and Xiao Hui are doing the final tidying up for Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling suddenly asked such a question. Not concerned or curious. I just don't want to be so passive.
Ah Jīng paused and glanced at Xiao Ling. Then he spoke: "I have heard other maids talk about it. It seems that it was arranged by the old lady Tigong. I heard that it was a distant niece of the old lady's mother's family. I've been living in the old lady's yard for a while."
"Oh." Xiao Ling nodded knowingly. Didn't say anything more.
When the time is about the same. Xiao Ling, who was dressed up, slowly walked towards the east courtyard next to Tianling Courtyard with the support of Ah Jīng and Xiao Hui. When they arrived outside the gate of the East Courtyard, they could already hear the lively atmosphere inside. According to common sense, the concubine of a large family should not have such a situation.
So now such a situation arises in Mongfu. There are only two possibilities: the first is that this woman has an unusual status, and the other is that this woman has a little status in Meng Tian's heart.
Before entering the East Courtyard. Xiao Ling asked Ah Jīng and Xiao Hui not to support themselves. Although I am weak now, if I am supported by two people, I will definitely not look good. It's okay to hold on to yourself. Besides, in such a situation, Xiao Ling's pride does not allow her to show the slightest weakness in front of others.
Ah Jīng and Xiao Hui are worried about Xiao Ling's body. But she insisted on it, and they also knew that it was not persuadable. So I had to leave it to her. They just looked at her more carefully. As long as you find out that she has any discomfort at the first time, you can help her in time.
When Xiao Ling walked into the East Courtyard, what he wanted to hear most was Meng Su's voice full of joy. Xiao Ling subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. What I saw was Meng Su's eyes smiling and greeting others. Seeing all this, the corners of Xiao Ling's mouth couldn't help but rise. This laugh is not because it is happy. It's sarcasm.
She clearly remembered when she and Meng Tian got married. She couldn't even smile very reluctantly. When I talk to those guests, I only talk perfunctory. There is no such thing as a little bit of sincerity and festivity. She even believed if she was allowed not to attend. She won't even show up.
It seems that her genuine daughter-in-law is really not treated by her. This is not now with a woman she is satisfied with. His own son was willing to accept it. She finally happily greeted her daughter-in-law.
There are only two tables for the wedding reception. The people invited are only people who are good friends with the Meng family and the Su family. There is also Meng Tian's brother in the barracks. Ji Ting, Wang Tuo, Zhang Qiang, and a few Xiao Ling saw that the soldiers who didn't remember their names in the past were among them.
When she and Meng Tian got married, they didn't come because of military affairs. I just made them up afterwards. Seeing them appear in such an environment, Xiao Ling suddenly thought that at that time, she and Meng Tian had also said that they would have a banquet for the entire General Meng. But then it was put on hold because of one thing or another. Now it looks like this matter is going to be put on hold for good.
Such a lively environment seemed a little out of place for Xiao Ling. Now she was hesitant whether she should go back. After all, if you appear here, you will definitely break the cheerful atmosphere here. When the time comes, everyone will not be happy, and people will definitely have some unpleasant words.
Although she didn't want to be a deserter. But compared to it, she wants to protect the only peaceful life she can have now. She didn't dare to imagine if those were gone. In this world that is still a little strange to her now, how should she continue to live.
As the saying goes, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes. Xiao Ling's idea was not implemented proudly, and she was seen by others. This also completely blocked her desire to escape from the battle.
"Sister-in-law." It was Zhang Qiang who called her. He didn't know that his unintentional shout of excitement at the moment had completely blocked Xiao Ling's desire to retreat. I didn't realize that because of this call of my own, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Ling.
There was no escape after finding that the eyes were focused on himself. Exploratory. and mocking. There are also those who are proudly ready to watch the play. Xiao Ling felt a little uncomfortable. Stand still and give yourself a moment to put a faint smile on your face. Only then did he slowly walk inside.
Xiao Ling walked into Zhang Qiang's table and immediately stood up. respectfully saluted her, and called out in unison: "Sister-in-law."
Because it's a military man. This call is full of the fortitude of a soldier. It's enough to deter everyone who lives there. Everyone clearly proved that Xiao Ling must have a certain weight in the minds of these generals of General Meng. Seeing such a scene, the crowd was puzzled. There was envy and jealousy and resentment that could not be concealed, and they all shot towards Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling also knew that their behavior was a recognition of themselves. At this time, you can also get their approval. Xiao Ling was very grateful to them, and they were also very moved. He bowed down and bowed back to the crowd. The smile at the corner of the mouth is gentle and decent, but it doesn't make people feel the warmth it once was. Will the door brocade
