5. Another seven years of battlefield training
This marriage was spread loudly, and Meng Nanjun really couldn't object, coupled with Mrs. Meng's words, Meng Nanjun knew that she had to agree to this marriage if she didn't agree. Fortunately, the date of marriage is set for a month later, which can be regarded as giving her a time to prepare.
Although this period of time in Meng Nanjun's view, it was the last bit of relaxation before going to the execution ground.
Liu Yunqi was also very surprised when she heard about this, and went to Mengfu by herself without being invited by Lishu.
"I want to have a reputation without a reputation, I want to have a good look, and I want a family background and I don't have a family background, what do you say about Nanhou about me?" Meng Nanjun gnawed at the skin of his mouth with his teeth, frowned tightly, and asked Liu Yunqi opposite.
And Liu Yunqi thought about the external image of her little sister, and also felt that Ding Nanhou was probably not good at sight.
"Maybe Miss stopped the startling horse yesterday, and her sassy heroic appearance amazed Dingnanhou sitting in the carriage?" Seeing that Liu Yunqi didn't reply, Lishu interjected, but he couldn't make it up a little bit when he said it.
After all, Daqi men like weak and boneless women, and their heroic posture is really not amazing, let alone her young lady...... This is really a question that can make people stop the idea of asking for marriage.
When Meng Nanjun heard her say this, she rolled her eyes, thinking that it was not necessary for Dingnanhou to be in the carriage at that time, let alone through a curtain, where could she appreciate half of her "sassy and heroic".
"Dingnan Hou Gu Xiao has won a lot of battles in the past two years, it can be said that he is in the limelight, I say something unpleasant, you are indeed high climbing when you get married. It's okay if Dingnanhou goes out to establish a mansion alone, but he doesn't live in the imperial capital for a few days a year, and you stay in the Gu mansion, I'm afraid that there will be no good life. Liu Yunqi didn't want to guess Nanhou's thoughts with them, so she only told Meng Nanjun about the news she heard when she went home, and there was some worry in her tone.
The old man of the Gu family was originally an emperor, and his status was extremely high, even if he abdicated early and did not ask about state affairs, but because he had taught the current saints, he still led the court to have no worries about food and clothing. But although his knowledge is not low, his character is worrisome, since he was young, Gu Fu has never broken off a new love, and the sage's several suggestions have only made him a little more restrained.
It can be seen that the rebellion of Gufu.
"But the Marquis of Dingbei should be the concubine of the house, how could his family agree to let him marry me?" Meng Nanjun thought about the external image of himself and Gu Xiao, and even felt that this marriage had wronged the Marquis of Dingbei.
Unexpectedly, when this question came out, Liu Yunqi sneered, "What is the difference between a son-in-law and a son-in-law?" There are many women around Master Gu, and the heir can go around his knees and he can't count them, although Dingnanhou is the original partner of Master Gu, but after the death of his biological mother, he joined the military camp alone, and it was not until he was promoted by the saint after seven years of fighting with the army that Master Gu remembered that he had such a son. ”
Meng Nanjun didn't expect that the Marquis of Dingnan, who was about to become her husband, was also a pitiful person at home, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but Liu Yunqi's next words made her bitter.
"Dingnanhou won the crown this year, and he entered the battlefield at the age of thirteen, and he has never done anything else in these years except for going into battle to kill the enemy and defend the border passes, and the principles that should be understood are also taught by those veterans, so in the rumors, this is a full and ruthless means of killing."
Meng Nanjun couldn't help but shudder when she heard this, she only felt that she had a worrying future, and Liu Yunqi probably knew that she was scaring her, so she patted her shoulder and said bitterly: "At first, I was worried that you would inevitably have to stay alive and widowed after you passed, but if you think about it carefully, it is also a good thing for you that Dingnanhou does not return to the house." There are people in the Gu Mansion who wish that Dingnanhou would stay at the border for the rest of his life, as long as the saint does not let him settle in the imperial capital on the grounds of marriage, he will not be able to come back. ”
Although these comforting words did not have any effect, Meng Nanjun was somewhat relieved, after all, Master Gu couldn't even count how many sons he had, so how could he care about her daughter-in-law who married in? As long as the person who nominally lives with him stays outside and does not come back, he can live alone in peace.
"Okay, I won't tell you so much, Zhou Lang is still waiting for me to go back." Liu Yunqi saw that she also wanted to open herself, so she felt that the purpose of this trip was successfully accomplished, and she was ready to go back to her home.
However, when she called "Zhou Lang", Meng Nanjun felt strange in his heart, and immediately frowned, "I didn't hear you call him Zhou Lang before, why did he change his words now?" ”
Liu Yunqi didn't care, "Although I haven't married him yet, we live together in the end, and it seems a little more distant to call him by name, so he proposed to me to be 'Zhou Lang', which is also a little closer." ”
Hearing her say that it was Zhou Xu who proposed it, Meng Nanjun was a little surprised, after all, the female ghost called him "Zhou Lang", and Zhou Xu asked Liu Yunqi to change his name, obviously to annoy the female ghost.
Didn't he know that there was a female ghost by his side?
As soon as this idea surfaced, she vetoed it herself, after all, if she didn't know that there was a female ghost, why did she persuade Liu Yunqi to come to the waterside of Acacia yesterday and almost hit a startled horse?
Thinking of this, she remembered that the startled horse was the driver of Ding Nanhou's car, was it a coincidence that the female ghost chose that carriage? And the "dummy" who drove the horse......
There are too many things that are elusive, Meng Nanjun simply didn't want to, and after sending Liu Yunqi out, she went to find Mrs. Meng, saying that she was willing to marry her, whether the half-day grounding could be waived.
Mrs. Meng also felt a little helpless when she heard her confuse the two things, but in the end, she also went with her. After all, there are a lot of rules after getting married, but she can't help herself continue to make trouble outside.
"Then I'm out?" Meng Nanjun also had a cold face that was a little stunned, and she even had to ask when she went out, as if she dared to leave only after getting her permission.
Mrs. Meng waved her hand, but said one more word when she was leaving: "Ah Jun, you remember, marrying Dingnanhou is of great benefit to you, and it is impossible for your father and mother to protect you for a lifetime, and the road ahead is long, and you have to explore it yourself." ”
Meng Nanjun was inexplicable when she heard this, but Mrs. Meng had always been a little sentimental, and she didn't pay much attention to it, so she went to find Lishu in response, planning to take this opportunity to go to Xingmufang.
Although the Meng family has declined, there is still some business in hand, and Master Meng hurried away after returning home on March 3, because he didn't know that Meng Nanjun secretly ran away to the Acacia Waterfront. However, when he heard in the Zhuangzi that his daughter had been given marriage, he rushed back without stopping.
"Our Meng family has been declining so far, and there is no need to win over it, why does the Holy Lord want to give Jun'er a marriage?" After listening to Madame's explanation, Master Meng was also a little angry.
It is rumored that Meng Nanjun fell in love with Dingnanhou at first sight on March 3, and even took the initiative to throw flowers, he didn't believe this kind of nonsense at all, after all, the two didn't know each other before, Meng Nanjun attached great importance to her life's events, she couldn't do this kind of thing at first sight, and she wouldn't make a decision without discussing it with them.
What's more, as far as he heard, Dingnanhou did not return to the imperial capital that day.
"Gu Mansion is protected by the masters, as long as the old lady is still alive, this blessing will not be broken, and it is better to send Jun'er over than to let her spend time in Meng Mansion."
Hearing Mrs. Meng's words, it was obvious that she wanted to convince herself, and Master Meng's tone became a little heavier, "But have you ever thought about why a family like the Gu family would ask the Holy Lord to marry our Jun'er?" ”
Meng Nanjun's reputation outside is not good, not to mention Dingnanhou, even if it is a young master from the side branch of the Gu family, he may not be able to look down on the current Meng family, Master Meng took this opportunity to ask for a holy decree, which is nothing more than to arrange a powerless wife for him before Dingnanhou returns, so that Dingnanhou has no possibility of marrying an official woman to expand his power.
And the emperor had the same thoughts as these people of the Gu family, and issued a holy decree that the Meng family could not disobey, pushing this marriage to the point of no return.
Meng Nanjun is just a chess piece in their hands to restrict Dingnanhou, and when Dingnanhou returns to the imperial capital, he knows everything, how will Meng Nanjun deal with himself?
It's just that Master Meng can think of this, how could Mrs. Meng not take it into account? She reached out and rubbed the corners of her forehead, and asked a little weakly, "With your and my skills, how many years can you protect her?" ”
A rhetorical question was like a hammer hitting Master Meng's heart, his throat was so hard that he didn't say anything, and Mrs. Meng was silent.
The sky outside was gradually getting dark, Meng Nanjun didn't know that his father and mother were worried about his own affairs, and after returning unhurriedly from Xingmufang, he entered the house of the two, and found that the atmosphere was a little wrong and couldn't retreat, so he could only sit beside Master Meng.
"Why did you provoke your mother?" Meng Nanjun asked in a low voice, and even glanced at him.
Her family has always been Mrs. Meng more aggressive, although Master Meng is not weak, but his gentle temperament to his family makes him unable to be the one in charge of the family, so every time Mrs. Meng has a cold face, she has not seen much Master Meng not to coax her.
In the face of her question, Master Meng can't say that it's because of her, after all, this matter is not Meng Nanjun's fault, it is she who will suffer in the future, and Master Meng really can't bear to be harsh.
"It's none of your business, let's go back and rest early." In the end, it was Mrs. Meng who spoke first.
Meng Nanjun didn't know what the two were discussing before, and Mrs. Meng didn't let her care, so she naturally couldn't say a word, so she could only cast a self-begging look at Master Meng before leaving, which made Master Meng sigh again in his heart.
With this bit of eyesight, her brain is not very smart, and when she enters a place like Gu Mansion, who do you expect her to beat?
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, Meng Nanjun ran to Xingmufang every day, and it was also thanks to the favor of the Meng family that the store had received in the early years, so she was not directly kicked out.
Fortunately, the hard work of this half month has also paid off, and this Xingmufang has her breath, and the female ghost does not dare to come over to do things to Xinmen.
When it was time to make an appointment with the store to pick up the goods, Lishu dressed up in disguise and went with a few men arranged by Meng Nanjun.
It was not early, and the Xingmu Workshop was about to close, and the man opened his mouth to yawn for a long time, and when he saw people coming, he chattered and complained.
"We said that sending it to you can be regarded as saving you trouble, but you have to run such a trip by yourself, not to mention, and you have come to this point. How can you come to pick up the goods at night? It's not a ghost, and you have to be at night to get it. ”
After running away with her own lady for so many times, Lishu also knew that the guy in front of her liked to read some gods and ghosts the most, and it was normal for him to say things like calling ghosts, but as soon as she thought of how Meng Nanjun scared herself, she had the idea of teasing others, and while beckoning the person she brought to carry the door, she approached the guy.
"Isn't it just for summoning ghosts? If you look at this blood-red door, maybe the ghost likes it. ”
Although the man said that he liked those stories, he didn't believe in the ghosts and gods in this world after all, so he pursed his lips very disdainfully, "I'll wash up and sleep after I go in for a while, but you still have to walk at night, don't talk too much and scare yourself." ”
Lishu thought to himself that his young lady asked him to do this, in order to summon ghosts, and he was not lying, but the guy had nothing to do with this matter, so there was no need to explain to him, so he only smiled and let the four men who carried the door leave with him.
Xingmufang was still some distance away from Zhou's mansion, and the guy couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that they had to rely on manpower to carry it back alone.
He thought to himself that Zhou Xu was really a swollen face and a fat man, and he didn't have the ability to paint the wooden door with red paint, and he was not even willing to let Xingmufang send a few pennies, so he insisted on being a domestic servant and suffered overnight. is so tired that everyone else, but he is glamorous, as long as he moves his mouth.
Meng Nanjun, who didn't know that this behavior had pitted Zhou Xu again, was hiding his breath and following behind the six people of Lishu at this time, seeing that the evening breeze was blowing more and more urgently, the talisman in his hand was also tightened a little.
