She walked at the door of the rouge fast. Rouge Zhai put on two more good colors of lipstick, so she came to take a look. But it's not what Zhao An likes. Since the last time she lost her child and injured herself, her complexion has not been very good, and Zhao An has not come to the other hospital to look for her for more than ten days.

Yes, who loves to face a lifeless face. It's as if she's just lost her father.

Oh, her father died young.

The weather was good, and she heard others talking loudly about the marriage of the eldest princess of Fenyang and the general of the Sixteenth Guard. The marriage of the Holy Decree will be next month.

How the world is full of joy, tragic and miserable, as if teaching her to occupy it alone.

"Ah Rong."

She shook her mind for a long time, and then she remembered that this Ah Rong seemed to be herself.

She wondered who it was, Shi Shiran turned around, and the person was standing under the bamboo not far away, with clear eyebrows. "Brother Adu!"

Ah Rong, Ah Rong.

One

She almost forgot that she was also a girl with a name and a surname.

The Meng family has a female name Rong.

When she saw the miserable decay reflected in her bronze mirror, she was a little unappetizing. The clothes in the Fufeng courtyard are all the tastes of Zhao An's man. The red and purple ones are exposed where they should be, and the ones that shouldn't be exposed are not covered much. Meng Rong picked and chosen, and finally found a piece of clothing that could still be seen, white in color. When her father was newly mourned, she always had to pretend to be sad on her face as a daughter. This is the only thing that is not to Zhao An's appetite.

Meng Rong put on this white body, and took a photo on the left and right in front of the bronze mirror, and always felt that something was not good enough. She doesn't want the golden hairpin she loves on weekdays, and after changing the velvet flowers, she finally has a bit of a girlish appearance.

Tomorrow I will go to see Brother Adu like this. That's good, this is Ah Rong.

At the door of Rouge Zhai, I saw Brother Adu, who had not been seen for ten years, Brother Adu became the general of the Sixteenth Guard, she knew that he was a big official, otherwise the eldest princess of Fenyang would not marry him. It's a pity that there was an urgent matter in Brother Adu's mansion, and he was hurried back by the servants. Before leaving, Brother Adu also said that he would talk to her in the teahouse tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Meng Rong saw that the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise in the mirror, she wanted to go down, and went up again.

It's really distressing.

This night, Meng Rong had a dream. Little Ah Rong grabbed Pei Du: "Brother Adu, what are you doing with swords?" ”

The children of ordinary people play some unsightly games, and Pei Du is the only one who is unusual.

"Men were born to defend their families and defend the country, but I thought that they should defend the country and my territory first, and then they should protect their families, and their families should be Ah Rong."

Meng Rong's youngest daughter's family was very angry at that time, and she pretended to scratch Pei Du: "Bah, who is going to marry you!" ”

Pei Du: "Oh-"

Meng Rong: "......"

Two

The Pei family and the Meng family are just separated by a wall.

Meng Rong was not a safe doll when she was a child, after all, an safe doll couldn't do such a thing as climbing over the wall, let alone turning over the male doll's house next door.

Pei Du practiced his sword in the garden, and watched in amazement as a small leg of meat hung down from the wall, and then another. Then I heard the two-legged owner shouting: "Butler, go back and take it back, don't teach my father to find out." ”

The girl doll was afraid that she was a fool, and she only knew that someone was holding it up on the other side of the wall, but she didn't know how to get down on this side of the wall.

The housekeeper was afraid that he was really gone, so he left the female doll to hang on the wall, and he didn't jump back, nor did he jump here. Pei Du looked at it and only felt funny. The girl doll was on the wall, as if she was about to cry.

Pei Du pouted: "Come down." ”

Meng Rong timidly looked down, and Pei Du opened his arms.

Meng Rong didn't dare, but Pei Du was a little impatient: "If you don't come down, I'll go." "Pretend to go.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute."

Meng Rong stretched out her feet, probably found a suitable position, and prepared to jump.

……

"How much does a girl doll weigh! How long. Meng Rong's pounce directly knocked Pei Du down. The two of them lay on the grass like this, and Meng Rong got up and patted the dirt on her skirt.

"You are Pei Du, my father told me that the Pei family loves to practice swords." Meng Rong said very old-fashioned, "What, didn't your father tell you about me?" ”

Pei Du shook his head blankly, it is true that he never did, but maybe he forgot, after all, his father is more verbose than his mother, maybe he mentioned it.

Meng Rong was very unreasonable: "No, I know you, you also have to know mine, my surname is Meng, my name is Meng Rong." ”

Pei Du was a little disdainful, the name of a daughter's family like this was like a grain in a sieve on the street.

For example, flowers and spring, Pei Du actually dislikes it in his heart.

Three

How Meng Rong went back that night Pei Du is unknown. He didn't care about this either, but the girl from the neighborhood came once, he went to the study to study, and asked the family to take Meng Rong for a walk around the house, and when the time was almost over, they would send the little ancestor back, and he would go back in the evening.

Pei Du was born with a quiet temperament, unlike Meng Rong, who was born as lively and active as a male doll.

The lights in the study were dim and dim, and the family came to Pei Du to bring Mrs. Pei's chicken soup, and when the family set the bowl, he asked casually: "Is the old man of the Meng family next door still addicted to gambling like that?" ”

"Yes, when I sent Miss Meng back, Master Meng was still angry at home, so angry. It's really pitiful. ”

He seems to care very little about such a trivial matter in the family. However, he seemed to have heard his mother mention that Master Meng next door was taken by a group of ruffians to gamble, and Mrs. Meng went again a few years ago, and Miss Meng didn't know about such a thing.

He suddenly felt that Meng Rong was a little pitiful. With this beautiful moonlight, he thought, her mother is gone, and her father has contracted such a terrible disease, how can it be better in the future.

Meng Rong is giggling, looking innocent and cute. The teenage girl's mind is not as deep as Pei Du's. I probably don't know anything about my future. People who can happily live in the present generally have no worries about coming. Pei Du thought, what he worries about, others don't worry about it, he is really used to being amorous.

This worrying female doll visited Pei's Mansion for the second time, and it was a month later. It's really good, the scar forgets the pain. Meng Rong went back that day, and Father Meng lost the money, so he took her to be angry - this daughter can fight the sea and wrestle, but those baby vases and jars can't.

Meng Rong lay on the bed for half a month, and after half a month, she crawled from Meng Mansion again.

This time Pei Du didn't practice swords, Meng Rong jumped down from the wall and fell, and the teacher Ding saw it and led him to Pei Du's study. Pei Du also got angry at the family: "Who asked you to bring her over?" ”

Jia Ding always felt that he was right, and he also knew that the young master had a good temper, so he quietly withdrew. Meng Rong thought that Pei Du was really angry, and went to pull Pei Du's cuffs with teary eyes, but Pei Du avoided it lightly.

"I just wanted to thank you." Meng Rong said, "My father is often not at home, and the family members are doing their own business, and most of them don't have the time to take care of me, the family in your house is really good." ”

It stands to reason that she is also a serious young lady, and the family in the house does not dare to be so rampant with her, probably because she knows the status of this young lady, and she is too lazy to deal with it.

"Don't drive me away, okay?" Meng Rong was afraid that Pei Du would really refuse, and even her voice trembled, seeing that Pei Du didn't react, she raised her head aggrievedly, looked at Pei Du's eyes, and shouted tremblingly, "Brother Adu." ”

Okay, keep it, keep it, but I will work hard at night, send her back from the wall, and don't let Old Man Meng know.

Four

Meng Rong's mouthful, Brother Adu, called smoothly. This little girl is very smart, and after more contact, I found that Pei Du actually just looks fierce, and often doesn't give people a good face, but he doesn't get angry and has a good temper.

For example, Meng Rong was playing in Pei Du's study, and she brought down an antique porcelain on her sleeve, which may still be Pei Du's favorite one. Pei Du wanted to be angry, and Meng Rong shrank and muttered, "Brother Adu".

Hey, it's just a porcelain, you can't use it, you can only look at it, and if it's broken, it's broken.

Pei Du has always adhered to the principle of not getting angry easily. Meng Rong immediately leaned up happily: "Brother Adu, I invite you to eat sugar gourds, the ones sold by Grandpa Zhang outside are delicious!" My mother used to buy it for me, but I haven't eaten it for a long time. ”

Hey, this little girl is also pitiful, there is no mother to take care of her, and her father is ...... Eat as much as you want.

Meng Rong thought contentedly, it must be her sweet mouth, and a bite of "Brother Adu" coaxed Pei Du to be happy.

She ate the sugar gourd and handed Pei Du a string: "Oh, this is very delicious." Brother Adu, you can taste it! Pei Du didn't look over, he looked very awkward: "I don't eat sweets." ”

Meng Rong and Pei Du sat side by side on the steps in front of Pei's house, and Meng Rong taught him a lesson: "How can you do it if you don't eat sweet, think about it, if you are unhappy, eat some sugar, and your mood will be much better!"

Pei Du glanced at her, if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it, where are there so many reasons. But...... She asked for it all, and it didn't seem good to refuse. All right.

Pei Du took it awkwardly.

This little girl, a string of sugar gourds will be paid to him as antique money. Pei Du didn't know what to say, but he didn't seem to mind, he was happy to give him the sugar gourd, and he thought to Shi Zi'er, he should be happy too.

He didn't like the taste of sugar, but he didn't taste the taste of the string of sugar gourds that afternoon. That day, the breeze was gentle and gentle, and a few strands of hair on Meng Rong's sideburns floated gently, as if scratching the tip of his heart. The sunlight shone on Meng Rong's face, and she smiled as if it was shining.

But after that, he never tasted such good sugar again. When he was in the army, his most respected friend died on the front line, and when he heard that the sap of the stems of plants in the field was sweet, he went to shave it himself. The taste is not good, but the taste is not tight. He has to live, live to avenge his friends, and live to marry Ah Rong and go home as a daughter-in-law.

In such a hard day, every day is like counting the grains of rice in a bowl, and I can't count them all, but I have come over after staying up.

Five

One year, there was heavy snow outside, and the sky was white. There were horseshoe prints on the battlefield, but they were soon covered by heavy snow.

Speaking of which, it rarely snows in Qingchuan, but there was also a year when the snow fell very much. Meng Rongda was born, she had never seen snow for more than ten years, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. At this time, of course, Meng Rong was going to find Pei Du.

Pei Du didn't react, and Meng Rong was a little disappointed. When he was a child, Bae Du was in Gangneung, where there was beautiful snow every winter.

Meng Rong took Pei Du's hand and pulled it out, Pei Du made a very unhappy look on his face, but let Meng Rong drag him out, if he resisted, Meng Rong would never be able to pull him, that is, he was not happy, she could still force him to go, she was happy. Pei Du sometimes really felt that Meng Rong was a little unreasonable.

But my daughter's house...... Never mind.

The family wanted to bring a cloak to Meng Rong, but Meng Rong snorted angrily and thought they were verbose, delaying her and Brother Adu from seeing the snow.

Pei Du couldn't cry or laugh, and asked the family to give him the cloak, and they didn't follow to get in the way.

There are red walls all the way down the street, and the snow is very beautiful.

"Brother Adu, I like snow, but unfortunately I have only seen it in poems, and I think such a beautiful snow must be seen with you."

They climbed the wall and walked all the way, but they heard what seemed to be a quarrel among the people inside the wall. Meng Rong made a gesture of silence. Most of the neighbors know Meng Rong, and this seems to be Li Xiucai's family.

"The two of us have been going on for so many years, and you told me that you want to reconcile?"

"A-Ying, you know, the relationship between the two of us has been consumed for so many years, and besides, Liu Liu has her, I can't ...... it"

"She's pregnant with your child, didn't I give birth to it?"

"Lang Zhong has diagnosed the pulse, and said that Liu Liu is pregnant with a male baby......"

Now Li Xiucai's wife is silent. Pei Du heard that Li Xiucai's wife gave birth to a daughter, and then she couldn't give birth, Li Xiucai has always been unhappy about this, but he didn't expect to really find someone who gave birth to a son outside. This matter spread all over the streets and alleys, and Li Xiucai lost his face, and he didn't know how to end it.

But speaking of Li Xiucai's wife, Yuan also grew up with Li Xiucai, probably because he took some things and came out restless. Meng Rong leaned against the wall, looking at Pei Du, the little girl's house was pretending to be serious: "Brother Adu, you said that if you become a general in the future, do you have to raise other women outside?" ”

Pei Du smiled: "If there is, you can punish me for kneeling on the washboard." ”

Meng Rong also made a lot of sense when she thought about it: "It's too cheap for you to kneel one, if you dare, at least two of them together." ”

They kept walking in the snow, the snow was blowing one after another, Pei Du put a cloak on Meng Rong, and looked at Meng Rong, her hair was all white.

It's so easy to get a bald head. Pei Du smiled and said nothing, in the future, when he and Ah Rong get married, they must live in a place where there is snow, Ah Rong likes snow so much. He must take her to see the snow at this time of year, and when he is old, he and Ah Rong's children will bring them out. A lifetime like this is considered complete.

Six

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years.

After Pei Du came back, he actually went to Qingchuan to find it. Not long after Pei Du joined the army, his father and mother moved to Dijing with their family, and they hadn't heard news from Qingchuan for a long time. He went back to Qingchuan to look for it, and the original Meng Mansion and Pei Mansion also changed owners.

The owner of the Meng Mansion is already a bad old man, and the mansion that he bought after about a few people is also vague about the original owner, saying that it is surnamed Lin or surnamed Gu. The master of Pei's mansion is better, saying that it is about a good person, and he doesn't know the excess.

Pei Du thought that Meng Rong and her father were addicted to gambling, so he went to the casino to inquire. The proprietress of the casino remembers that there was such a person, saying that he died a few years ago, and there was no one to bury him, and it was only discovered when it smelled.

Pei Du immediately asked the man's daughter, but the proprietress didn't know. The proprietress has only married the owner of the casino in recent years, and she has never met the daughter of Daddy Meng. I only heard that Father Meng had made a fortune before, but he lost it again in a few years. Pei Du felt that something was wrong, and asked where this windfall came from, but the proprietress didn't know. It's all a private transaction by gamblers, and the casino doesn't care about that.

In the past few years in Dijing, he has not seen Meng Rong. At first, he was still obsessed with this and refused to start a family, but the second elder of the Pei family was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do. This delay was delayed again and again, and there was a glimpse of the martial arts field, and the eldest princess of Fenyang insisted on marrying.

Pei Du couldn't resist the order, because of the lives of dozens of people in Pei's mansion, although the private relationship of children was beautiful, it was not worth mentioning in front of the life and death of dozens of people. It is impossible to resist the decree, although there are always scholars in the book who resist the decree and marry the princess and love the chaff, and can always die in harmony and beauty, and the saint can always be polite and considerate, and if he dares to openly resist the decree, the dozens of people of the Pei family and the Pei family may be pruned cleanly.

He won't, and he can't.

Ah Rong, maybe married, maybe dead. There are so many things in the world that are impermanent.

Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums. There will be no more days like this.

Seven

It's a good day.

Pei Du came early, and when Meng Rong came to the Tea Hall, Pei Du had already found a seat in the Tea Hall. The business of Pinmingtang has always been good, if it weren't for Pei Du here, Meng Rong would probably not be able to find a place to sit.

Meng Rong lifted the hem of her skirt and walked over, she thought, probably like a little girl now.

Before going out, she carefully rubbed the fat powder.

It's just that Meng Rong arrived at Pei Du's table, and she didn't know how to talk about it, and there was something more timid about her hometown.

He is going to marry the eldest princess of Fenyang. Meng Rong thought of this, and it didn't hurt to poke this sad thing by herself: "I haven't seen it for ten years, and now that I'm a wife, I can still hear the happy event that you will marry the eldest princess." Meng Rong tilted her head and thought about it: "The eldest princess of Fenyang is the first beauty in the imperial capital, and she is as good as you." ”

Pei Du looked at Meng Rong, but there was still the shadow of his childhood, but because he was married to a wife, he had a little more tenderness. Meng Rong lowered her eyebrows and quietly looked up, and Brother Adu seemed to be a little disappointed.

She thought, what is Brother Adu's disappointment, does he think she is not clean enough, or blame her for not waiting for her?

The eldest princess of Fenyang, who was the glamorous crown emperor, she had seen it from afar, but in fact, it was nothing more than that. In this world, what woman's beauty is not piled up with jewels?

More than thirteen years old, cardamom tips in early February. When Meng Rong was thirteen years old, she was already a well-known little beauty in Qingchuan. Her mother went early, and after her father was no one to control him, he became addicted to gambling, and his family property was gradually hollowed out.

These were all things that Meng Rong only learned about later. Her family was so big, and there were so many servants, she never knew that her father had reached the point where he had to sell his daughter to pay off his debts.

There were many princes and princes who came to the Meng family to ask for marriage, but Meng Rong actually looked down on them, and would only spend all day drinking, and after inheriting the ancestral business, they began to mess with flowers and grass. They also pointed out that the Meng family's great business was great, and the Meng family's daughter was born pretty, but after the defeat, no one was willing to help.

There are always many people who put the icing on the cake, and those who send charcoal in the snow are fresh.

Pei Du went to join the army that spring, and Meng Rong was sold to a group of gamblers in the autumn of that year.

Eight

Pei Du took a sip of tea, and Meng Rong looked at it, it was really beautiful. The person she has always liked is so good-looking and so upright. She had thought that such a man would give her a home, but everything was ruined by her father.

Even if at this moment, he is about to marry another woman, she does not blame him.

Pei Du looked at Meng Rong, he could actually see the thick fat powder on Meng Rong's face, and he could also see that Meng Rong looked haggard yesterday, and his eyes were deep: "Ah Rong, how does your husband treat you?" ”

"Yes, great! He was a small businessman, and he was also idle, and he came to accompany me every day, and when he had any new materials, he would buy me new clothes and treat me very well, and I was naturally in harmony with him. ”

Pei Du didn't speak, his eyes were on a bruise on Meng Rong's neck, Meng Rong was stared at by him, and touched his neck, which hurt a little. Only then did I remember that Zhao An's temper came up a few days ago, and she only said two words, and Zhao An stuck her throat and wanted to kill her.

Meng Rong smiled uncomfortably: "It's okay, but I knocked on the corner of the bed a few days ago, and it will disappear in a few days." Her eyes looked elsewhere, and she didn't dare to look into Pei Du's eyes, especially when she was lying.

As soon as she was distracted, she heard the tea guest next to her chewing his tongue.

"Do you know that something terrible has happened to the Zhao family?"

"How?"

"The old man Zhao An, the woman raised in the courtyard on the outskirts of the city, somehow was known by the tigress of his family, this tigress is very fierce, more than ten days ago he personally ran to the courtyard, dragged the sleek woman out of bed, and threw it on the street outside the door, although the suburbs are remote, but many people have seen it."

"The Zhao family? Isn't that Meng Fufeng? Back then, he relied on a face to be proud of himself, but he also has today. ”

Another person interjected: "Yes, yes, Meng Fufeng was very high back then, and he treated those big officials as if he was anything, and he refused to accompany him when he said anything, relying on his own ability to order piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he really regarded himself as a fairy Chang'e." ”

"That is, when it came to being found out by the eldest lady of the Zhao family, I happened to be passing by at the time. Tsk, that body ......"

Pei Du saw Meng Rong distracted: "Ah Rong, don't listen." ”

That kind of foul language shouldn't be taught to Ah Rong.

Meng Rong was sure that these people were just paying lip service, but even so, Meng Rong still felt that the blood around her was cold, as if she had put herself in the ice and snow, and she was very cold.

And the room was stuffy, and some tea customers began to complain.

Meng Rong smiled far-fetchedly: "I don't know who it's talking about, it's so shameless." ”

Nine

Meng Fufeng is a girl from a Qinglou.

Oh, Meng Rong thought, she fell into the hands of gamblers, she was very scared that day, she was not afraid that she would go through a catastrophe, but she was afraid that she would be ruined by this group of people, and Pei Du was no longer willing to ask for herself.

Usually, Father Meng often said: "That kid from the Pei family may die on the battlefield early, you wait for him, hum ......"

That night, she prayed that if she was really ruined, she would kill herself. I hope that Brother Adu can die bravely on the battlefield, and they will be husband and wife in the next life.

The gambler didn't spoil her, a good-looking clean girl like her was probably worth a lot of money to sell to Qinglou. Father Meng also thought about it in the past, but in the end, he didn't have such connections. After tossing and turning, Meng Rong was sold to Wanhualou in the imperial capital.

Later, she was often beaten and scolded, and the girls who didn't have much business in Wanhualou were used to doing this. Meng Rong refused to accept customers, and was beaten a lot.

Later, I became numb.

She prayed that Brother Adu would come and take her away. She didn't wait. She wondered if she was too greedy. So she prayed that Brother Adu would come back alive, and it didn't matter if he didn't take her away or dislike her. As long as I can come back.

On the day Zhao An came, she was willing, she wanted to leave here so much, she might be ruined by many people every day. Mom counts the money and smiles sweeter than honey.

She remembered that Zhao An thought that her name was not elegant enough, so he renamed her Fufeng.

Weak willow to help the wind.

Meng Fufeng.

She never regretted the choice she made, such as suspicion that if she hadn't followed Zhao An at the beginning, she might be able to marry Pei Du today. Because on that autumn night when insects chirped, her heart was like a mirror, in this life, Ah Rong and Brother Adu, that's it.

Ten

She watched the people coming and going on the street, and there was a vendor selling sugar gourds on the side of the street.

The color is bright, as if Pei Du bought it for her when she was a child. Pei Du went over to buy a bunch and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Such a big person still eats this, your husband wants to laugh at it." ”

But Pei Du's eyebrows and eyes were so gentle, Meng Rong raised her head, she was afraid that her tears would come out. She pretended to be proud and said, "Yes, he won't let me eat it, he's afraid I have a toothache." Eat only this once today. ”

Pei Du was leaving, and she didn't keep him.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Pei Du ate a piece of candied fruit on the table.

She is doing well now, even if she has never married herself as agreed back then, what he hopes to be happy is.

It's okay, without this concern, if you marry Fenyang in the future, you will be wholeheartedly devoted to her.

Before leaving, Pei Du said: "I will marry Fenyang next month, where is your home, I will go back and ask the family to send you the post." ”

"No need, my husband is going to Qingchuan next month, business is easy to do there, I'm afraid the time is not right."

She didn't dare to imagine what she could do on the day he got married, and besides, Zhao An would never allow her to contact other men.

Probably the Ah Rong in Brother Adu's heart is still that Ah Rong. As long as there is one person in the world who remembers her goodness, it will be done. Everyone in the world says that Meng Fufeng is fresh and shameless, but as long as Brother Adu has a little Ah Rong on the tip of his heart, clean, beautiful, and not stained with dust, it will be fine.

She couldn't ask to be with Pei Du for a long time, she just asked Pei Du to always remember that clean and beautiful little girl, Xiao Ah Rong.

End

Walking down the street, she felt alone, like a lonely ghost.

Thinking about going back, I have to face the face of the Zhao family's wife, Zhao An's wreck, and being managed so tightly by a woman.

But it doesn't matter, that woman is also a hen who can't lay eggs after all, what if this child is gone, she can always give birth to a son for Zhao An.

She smiled at Daylight.

It's a long time coming.
