Chapter 194: Dinner Together

Mengxi wanted to talk about leaving the house without permission, but halfway through the words, he was interrupted by the second master, holding on to her title, Mengxi really didn't put this matter above, and came back to Zhang Luo Zhiqiu's injury, I had long forgotten about this stubble, and now that the second master mentioned it, he was speechless for a while, and looked at the second master in a daze.

Looking at Mengxi's deflated expression, the curvature of the corners of Xiao Jun's mouth softened a lot. Seeing that she didn't speak, she coughed and said: "I think you are a first-time offender, forget it this time, next time I call myself a concubine, don't say that I don't mean mercy." ”

"Maid, maid, concubine knows"

Mengxi didn't know what the second master was crazy about today, he was so serious about a title, today's toss has made her look down on all of this, but it's just a title, it doesn't matter if you call a cat or a dog, you can't be awkward, but after calling for so long, she suddenly changed her mouth, and she was always a little unaccustomed to it, and she responded with some stuttering.

Hearing that Mengxi stumbled and finally changed his words, the second master's face softened, looked at Mengxi and said softly: "Xi'er, is it hurt at my mother's place today?" ”

"It's all Zhiqiu who blocked it, Zhiqiu was seriously injured, the second master will be a little late, I'm afraid it's Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu ......, concubine thank you Second Master for being perfect"

"Zhiqiu is a rare loyalty, tomorrow find a doctor to come over and take a look, use this medicine, let her take care of it in the house"

"Second Master Xie cares, he has already used the medicine sent by the second master, if it is not in the way, the doctor does not need to look for it, it is troublesome and annoying"

When the second master heard this, he looked at Mengxi and was silent for a long time, and finally coughed and said:

"Xi'er, my mother punished you today, it's really a bit heavy, do you hate her?"

"Today is the concubine who broke the rules, the eldest lady has learned the right lesson, how dare the concubine be resentful:"

Listening to Mengxi's insincere words, Xiao Jun sighed helplessly in her heart, she still didn't trust him. For a long time, it seems to persuade Mengxi to talk to himself:

"Pepsi filial piety is the act, even if the mother is wrong, it is not allowed to be disobedient, after all, there are no parents in the world who are not, only unfilial children and grandchildren."

Mengxi listened to the words of the second master, and suddenly felt that there was a trace of invisible helplessness swinging between the eyebrows of the second master, was it because of the intolerable relationship between her and his mother? The eldest lady is bent on leaving her in court, even if he has her in his heart, in this ancient era when filial piety came first, he couldn't protect her, not to mention that there was an insurmountable gap between them - the ancestral training of the Xiao family.

This situation and this scene can't help but think about the love story of the famous poet Lu You and Tang Wan of the Southern Song Dynasty that she saw in her previous life, and the two people who have the same heart, because of her mother-in-law's dislike, finally Lao Yan flew apart.

Isn't it so affectionate: the east wind is evil, the love book, a cup of sadness, and a few years away.

What's more, he and she were two people who didn't know each other, and as soon as she thought of this, Mengxi actually had a trace of complete despair in her heart, which made her feel a burst of heartache, and she looked at the second master for a long time, and said softly:

"The second master said that the concubine never dared to disobey the eldest lady and make the eldest lady angry, and the concubine will remember the lessons of the second master and the eldest wife in the future"

Listening to Mengxi's words, the second master sighed, Mengxi remembered the matter of leaving the house, and just wanted to explain, but heard the second master say:

"By the way, Xi'er, do you remember the Tao Gongzi we met when we went to Jingyun Temple to make a vow the year before last?"

"The second master is talking about the poet immortal Tao Jundong Tao Gongzi"

"Yes, just him, they also mentioned the prince's staff Li Zhan, I don't know if Xi'er remembers him"

Seeing the dream pontoon nodding, the second master said:

"Today, Li Zan is the east, and set up a banquet in Fenglai Pavilion to entertain the four princes of Pingyang, originally asked the prince to be the middleman, and asked the god of medicine to see him, but unfortunately the god of medicine did not go, during the banquet, Tao Gongzi and Li Zan specially mentioned Xi'er, admired Xi'er's poems, and made an appointment to go to Luding Mountain on the sixth day of the next month, and asked me to take Xi'er to go, Xi'er is willing to go out together?"

As soon as he heard about playing, Mengxi's eyes lit up, but then he thought that Li Zan had seen her, last time the two of them passed by dangerously in front of the painting hall of Jingyun Temple, and then Li Zan seemed to be aware of it, and he had been watching them far away, today he specially mentioned her, did he want to confirm anything, especially the prince seemed to find out that she was a daughter that day, thinking of this, Mengxi's eyes immediately dimmed, and he didn't want to blurt out:

"The second master, the maid, the maid, the concubine is just a little woman in the deep house, she has never seen the world, she is not worthy of elegance, the four sons of Pingyang are all elegant people, and I am afraid of losing the face of the second master with them, which is not good"

Hearing this, Xiao Jun's face suddenly became colorful, it was really red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple in turn, and he choked there for a while, and when he saw the embarrassed face of the second master, he suddenly remembered that he said that she was difficult to get into the elegant hall at the eldest lady's place in the afternoon, just now, it seemed that there was some taste of anger with the second master, and her face was a little hot for a while, she really didn't mean that, seeing that the second master was silent, she said:

"That, second master, concubine doesn't mean that."

After listening to Mengxi's explanation, Xiao Jun's face softened a little, and he said

"The scenery of Luding Mountain is good, now is a good season to go out, I also wanted to take Xi'er out to relax, since Xi'er doesn't want to go out, forget it"

After pausing for a while, Xiao Jun remembered something again, raised his head and said to Mengxi:

"Xi'er, I want to leave the house in the future......"

The second master was halfway through his words, only to see Hongxing knock on the door and come in and say:

"Dinner has been delivered, is the second master setting the meal now?"

Xiao Jun listened, stopped and said halfway, glanced at Mengxi, and said:

"Let's set the table"

Saying that, he got up and prepared to change his clothes, Hongzhu reached out and picked up the robe that was on the side, looked up and saw that the second master was looking at the second grandmother, and he understood that the second master wanted the second grandmother to serve, and it was obvious that he wanted to show favor to her.

The second master saw that Mengxi only lowered her head and studied the floor, like there were flowers on the floor, she sighed unconsciously, she finally refused to get close to him, reached out to take the red bead hand clothes, and put them on herself.

Mengxi peeked at the second master to buckle the buckle, Hongzhu Lifeng casually handed the strap to the second master, the second master reached out to take it, seemed to look at her intentionally, put it aside casually, and said:

"In the yard, no need to tie it"

The second master said that he had walked out, and Mengxi got up and walked out with the second master with the help of Zhichun. Mengxi's face was still a little hot at this time, the scene of the second master changing clothes reminded her of the bear hug she gave to the second master that day, and the second master looked at her with a belt, she must have remembered the events of that day, right?

When he came to the hall, the meal had already been arranged, Xiao Jun glanced at Mengxi, thought about it and said:

"It's late today, Xi'er will use it here, and there are no outsiders, so there is no need to talk about those rules"

"The concubine's meal has not been passed over, so the concubine can go back to the east chamber to use it"

"These dishes are enough, Xi'er will sit down and use them together first, just let Hongzhu and Zhichun serve, Hongzhu, tell someone to pass the second grandmother's dinner here"

Hongzhu answered, signaling to Hongxing on the side, and Hongxing turned around and walked out.

Mengxi glanced at the second master, and sincerely speaking, the second master is also a good person, but he and she have not cultivated in the third life, and they have no chance in this life.

If they are placed in modern times, even if they are not husband and wife, they can be a pair of very good friends or allies. It's better to take advantage of the time before leaving the house, try to get along with him, maybe he will meet in the market every day, and he will become a true friend instead of being a husband and wife, thinking of this, he said casually:

"Concubine Xie Second Master Fulfillment"

After Mengxi finished speaking, he sat down on Xiao Jun's right hand. Xiao Jun saw Mengxi sit down, he seemed to breathe a sigh, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and there was a slight smile in his trance, in ancient times, he paid attention to food and did not say anything, in the two years since the wedding, this was the first dinner they had together when they sat together, and they did not say a word to each other, but even Hongzhu felt that that night, the second master seemed to have taken the lead and was always in high spirits.

When Mengxi and Zhichun returned to the East Chamber, the sky was already a little dark, and when they entered the house, they found that Zhiqiu had not rested, lying on the soft collapse of the north house, chatting with Zhixia and Zhidong, and seeing the second grandmother and Zhichun coming in, the three of them all stood up.

"Didn't you say that you should rest early after eating, why are you so disobedient and still relying here?"

Mengxi saw Zhiqiu waiting in the house and reproached.

"The slave is worried about the second grandmother, she can't sleep, and the second master punished you just now for leaving the house without permission?"

Hearing this, Mengxi and Zhichun glanced at each other, this second master, patronizing made her change her words, and she forgot about them leaving the house without permission, Mengxi said with a smile:

"When the second master mentioned it, he was interrupted by Hongxing coming in"

"The slave maid listened to the tone of the second master, not like she was blaming the second grandmother, but like reminding you not to go out of the house without permission in the future, if you want to leave the house, tell him"

Zhichun listened to the words of the second grandmother on the side, and said.

Zhiqiu glanced at Zhichun when he heard it, but he didn't speak, Zhichun saw it, looked at Zhiqiu with a fierce look, and opened his mouth to say that it was the second master who saved her today, but suddenly remembered the few bloody lines lying on Zhiqiu's back, and stopped his mouth stiffly.

Ignoring Zhichun, Zhiqiu turned his head to look at the second grandmother, and suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, startling the four people in the room, not knowing what she was going to do, only to hear Zhiqiu say:

"Second grandma, the slave maid is just waiting for you here, recalling the events of the afternoon, and now I am still frightened, the second grandmother is a person in the group, and she is the master mother of the Xiao Mansion who carried in with eight sedan chairs, no matter how you can't commit the family law, the slave and the maid finally saw it clearly today, the eldest lady can't tolerate the second grandmother, the second master is a filial son, even if you have some feelings, the eldest lady wants to punish you, and the second master can't protect you, not to mention that there is a show girl in the middle, even if we are careful, we can't prevent these people from calculating day and night, Hugh you go down to the hall to save us, the slave is afraid that one day we are not careful, the second grandmother will be killed by them, that day grandma must not be blinded by the feelings of the second master, the slave begged the second grandmother or listen to Ouyang Gongzi's words, we go out of the house, this life incognito is good, the second grandmother is retired from the hall, we are not in the fire pit anymore, the slave swears, if the second grandmother is divorced, the slave and the maid will not marry and accompany you to serve you for the rest of their lives, if you violate the oath, the sky will thunder"

After listening to Zhiqiu's words, Mengxi actually calmed down when he came out of the hall, and after a long time, he slowly came to Zhiqiu, stretched out his hand to pick her up and said:

"Okay, according to what you said, if we don't get a letter of resignation, we will escape from this Xiao Mansion!"
