030 Death Day
"I ...... Have it? Meng Dazhu stammered: "Maybe, maybe it's roasted by the fire!" β
Ji Ji looked along the stove of his fingers, and then at the medicine jar, and couldn't help but "hiss" in his heartβcould it be that Captain Meng reacted like this...... Do you have any hidden diseases?
Could this be the reason why Captain Meng never married?
For some reason, the girl in front of Meng Dazhu looked at him with some pity in his eyes, and he changed the topic a little awkwardly and asked, "By the way...... Your name is Gigi, right? β
Gigi nodded, and no longer mentioned his decoction, and said, "This is the name that the girl gave me, does it sound good?" β
As he spoke, he bent over to wash the ginger cubes.
Meng Dazhu nodded and grinned, "It's good." β
He asked her again: "Have you been by the side of Ji Painter since you were a child?" β
"It's not true, I'm not the son of the Ji family, but a free body." Jiji washed the ginger, took it to the board and cut it up, and said: "When I was very young, I encountered a kidnapper, and it was the girl who saved me and helped me find my place of origin, but my parents and family are gone...... So the girl kept me by her side, and from then on, the Ji family was my home, and the girl was my family. β
Meng Dazhu didn't expect her to have such an experience, and he didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
But the girl didn't need him to comfort her, and there was a smile on her face as she spoke: "I asked the girl to rename me, and the girl asked me what words I liked, and I said that I liked Ji Jiaji, which sounded very auspicious." The girl was afraid that one would not be enough, so she gave me two at once! β
The girl said that she hoped that she would be blessed with good luck in the future. She thought that staying by the girl's side with such an auspicious name might be able to dispel the ominous situation for the girl.
Seeing her laughing, Meng Dazhu couldn't help but laugh too.
Ji Ji put the ginger cubes into the jar and added water, and Meng Dazhu helped her bring it to the stove and boil it.
Waiting left and right, the two of them moved their small pestles and sat by the stove and chatted.
"Today's Qi Niangzi's affairs are thanks to you." Ji Ji said indignantly and relievedly: "Otherwise, it will really be cheaper!" β
Meng Dazhu scratched his head embarrassedly: "I didn't help much......
It's just that I was scolded.
Gigi also thought of this, and couldn't help but smile when he looked at his silly appearance.
When she smiled, she showed a pair of tiger teeth, Meng Dazhu inexplicably didn't dare to look directly at those eyes, his eyes fell on her hand in a flash, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Jiji, in fact, when I saw you for the second time outside the mansion that day, I was wondering, can I ...... with you"
Gigi smiled.
Looking at his expression again, the fingers she placed on her lap subconsciously shrank back.
It can't be to her...... Fall in love at second sight, right?!
The girl is not very old, but she knows a lot because of her rich experience.
However, it is also true that I am at a loss.
Soon, the little girl's cheeks were also "roasted" red by the fire.
She clasped her fingers together and asked a little nervously, "...... What? β
"Can I ...... with you Wrestling your wrists? Meng Dazhu looked at her and plucked up the courage to say: "I see that you have great strength, so I have always wanted to compare with you!" β
Gigi: "......"
Seeing her strange expression, Meng Dazhu hurriedly said: "Maybe it's a little presumptuous, it doesn't hurt if you don't want to compare......
"Who says I don't want to compare?" Gigi came back to his senses and immediately began to roll up his sleeves: "Come on!" β
In the night, through the window lattice, the figures of the two of them wrestling their wrists in front of the board can be seen.
Two quarters of an hour later, Ji Ji came back with ginger soup, and when Hengyu wrapped himself in the quilt and took the soup bowl handed by the little girl, he asked, "Why are your hands so red?" But it's hot? β
"No, it's a wrist wrestle with Captain Meng." Ji Ji looked angry: "In five rounds, the servant has won, but he is convinced!" β
Hengyu laughed when he heard this: "Yes, my Jiji is the most powerful." β
β¦β¦
The next day, it was the day when Hengyu was going to go to Meng's house with Jiang Media.
The two of them were ready early in the morning, and when they passed through the front yard, they happened to meet Xiao Mu, who was also going out.
He was dressed today in a plain white robe, covered with an inky cloak, and there was no trim on the top and bottom of his body, and even the hair was tied in black satin.
Hengyu saw it in his eyes, and only felt that although it was an unusual and visible plain clothes, it was also very much like he was going to pay tribute to someone.
Look at Wang Jingyong who followed him beside him, holding the wine jar in one hand and the food box in the other-
"Is Jiang Mediaguan going to Meng's house today?" Xiao Mu asked.
"Exactly, since it is the general's order, how dare I slack off!" Jiang median smiled very earnestly.
"Then there will be work, if the family is done, Xiao will be grateful."
Jiang Media's smile became stronger when he heard this, and after being polite, he smiled and watched Xiao Mu go away, and then whispered to Hengyu: "Looking at it now, it seems that he really wants to promote family ......affairs for his subordinates."
Heng Yu nodded in agreement.
Yes, such a person who cherishes words like gold, so deliberately advises, it can be seen that he really attaches importance to it.
This general not only cares about the people's livelihood, but also is a good coach.
But is it the day of death today?
The rest of the Hou Mansion didn't seem to be prepared for this.
Outside the gate, Xiao Mu got on his horse and took Wang Jingyong all the way out of the city and came to the foot of a mountain.
Opening the food box, Xiao Mu squatted down and personally placed the melon and fruit snacks he brought in front of the tombstone.
Curiously, there is no inscription on it.
Xiao Mu took the wine jar from Wang Jingyong's hand, pulled off the wine stopper, slowly poured half of the jar in front of the tombstone, and then raised the wine jar at the tombstone, and drank a big sip with his face up.
Qianqiu's drunken mouth was bitter, making him grit his teeth slightly.
"It's another year."
He seemed to be talking to the owner of the tombstone, and his eyes were a little distant, as if he had seen many old pictures through the cold tombstone.
The only thing that answered him was the sound of the mountain wind stirring the dead grass.
β¦β¦
At the same moment, Jiang Mediaguan and Heng Yu were sitting in the front hall of the Meng family, talking to the same woman.
The woman looked to be around forty years old, with a long face, her hair smeared with osmanthus oil was combed in a shiny bun, and a pair of gold-inlaid jade hairpins were obviously dressed up on purpose, and she attached great importance to the arrival of Jiang Media.
This is exactly Mengmu, Shan's.
"I also have to bother the two of you to move with me to the East Courtyard and see the eldest aunt of the big pillar." Shan explained politely: "Sister-in-law, she is not in good health, and she can't get up in the cold today...... Therefore, I can only ask the two of them to go and talk about it. β
looked at Meng Dazhu on the side again, and said with a smile: "Dazhu's family affairs are bound to be discussed with his eldest aunt." β
Jiang Mediaguan didn't notice any difference, they were all elders in the family, and it was normal for those who were closer to help check family affairs.
So he smiled and responded: "Yes, why bother!" In this case, please ask the lady to lead the way. β
"Yes, you two come with me, please come here." Shan smiled and led the way, and several people walked out of the front hall.
Meng Dazhu followed, bowing his head slightly.
Gigi turned his head to look at him - why didn't Captain Meng look happy about such a happy event?
