Although Meng Jiu's sister-in-law was victorious today, after returning home, she still found the "Wuling pen", and planned to give it to the princess in person on a certain day.

On the top of the moon, the night gradually darkened, Meng Feidi just returned, and saw the wind lamps in the pavilion flickering in the distance, and his wife was flying red, leaning on a pear wood, very lazy posture.

As if there was a gust of breeze straight into his heart, refreshing and cleansing, and his body was ethereal, Feidijun even walked a little briskly, went over to sit down beside his wife, only drank the remaining wine in the bowl, and said with a smile: "Clumsy is in good interest today." ”

"Earning a painting of the princess is naturally an unexpected joy, and it is another joy to be able to give the Wuling pen made by my brother to the princess."

Meng Feidi was a little resentful: "I have begged for a long time for the Wuling pen, but I can't ask for clumsy love." ”

said that this "Wuling pen" is very famous in Chang'an, but many scholars can't ask for it.

Although Taiyuan Yuan is a famous surname, but the family has declined a few generations ago, the children of this clan, although more than the study of the history of the talent is very good, but with the corruption of the official system, it is gradually rare to get the real power of high-ranking officials, and is not good at managing general affairs, only relying on the harvest of the corn field, naturally it is impossible to enjoy a luxurious life, Meng Jiu's sister-in-law is not a descendant daughter, her father is only a branch of the lineage, and from the grandfather, Shijin is not smooth, although her father is only eight buckets, but he also does not understand the current rules of officialdom, and even failed to get the Jinshi, Later, he was born through the literary department, and after a few years of "worship" in the Hanlin Academy, he became more and more disgusted with the vulgarity of officialdom, so he resigned from the official position and only devoted himself to writing book reviews.

Meng Jiu's sister-in-law's brother Yuan Yue, Su Xi Wei and Jin celebrities, even more impatient with the promotion of eunuchs, so he should not even take the imperial examination, now he is just a white body, but not only Danqing is wonderful, but also loves to ponder the carved inkstone pen, he called himself Wuling Jushi, so the pen made in the name of Wuling, only give to confidants, and never use the pen to make profits, so mortals are hard to find, is Meng Feidi's brother-in-law, but Yuan Yue is not in the eyes.

Meng Feidi had no choice, knowing that there was a Wuling pen in his wife's dowry, which had been soft and hard for several years, but Yuan did not agree, and now he heard that it was given to the princess, how could Meng Feidi not be stupid.

"Jiulang also knows Brother A's temperament, and without Brother A's permission, I don't dare to give him a pen." Yuan said with a smile: "Brother collected that "Yonghuai", there is a comment on the princess's early years, and Brother greatly appreciates the princess's insight, although he has never met, but he is a divine friend, and he allowed me to donate the pen. ”

Meng Feidi sighed: "That's it, it's just that, I don't know my uncle's preferences back then, as soon as I see him, I offend my uncle by giving gifts, although I have been flattered many times later, and my uncle is even more disdainful." ”

At that time, Meng Feidi was forced to marry Yuan as his wife, and when the three dynasties returned to the door, the gifts prepared for Yuan Yue were not very dedicated, and he sent a volume of the famous transcription of the "Book of Rites", not wanting Yuan Yue to make the most wicked people to formulate the etiquette law, and then he offended his uncle to death, no matter how to redeem it, it had no effect.

"It's also that Brother Ah has a strange temperament, to put it mildly, the princess can also be regarded as a political eunuch, but Brother Ah firmly believes that the princess is forced to be helpless, and she will not think of Confucianism in her bones, and she is like him, and she actually admires metaphysics." Yuan also shook his head again and again: "Brother's thinking has always been beyond the understanding of the world. ”

Suddenly, the subject changed again, and he said excitedly that the princess had promised to let her assist in official business.

The wife talked endlessly, but the husband was full of helplessness.

"Clumsy really don't want to go to Yunzhou with me?"

"I just went, but I can only use my heart to deal with the affairs of the house, Yunzhou is now in a hundred wastes, Jiulang is just going, I'm afraid that I don't even have a fixed residence, just food and clothing, the maid can serve, Jiulang will not be distracted by the maid, but if I go, I don't live well, I can't eat enough, what can't Jiulang take care of? Isn't it a burden? It is better to stay in Jinyang, firstly, the children are still young, I am reluctant to separate from them, and secondly, it can help the new policy and even military defense, the opportunity is rare, even if you don't get much benefit, but with this unusual experience, it is not in vain to live this life. ”

Seeing his wife's radiant appearance, the slight melancholy in Meng Feidi's heart also dissipated.

He remembered the candle night in the cave room, and saw that the bride who had washed off the heavy makeup was not good-looking, and the more alienated he felt in his heart, he lay alone on the ground, and even did not say a word, and woke up the next day, he felt that he was a little excessive, and he was very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to get along with his newlywed wife, and he was worried that because of her sadness, she would lose her posture and show her sadness when she admitted that she was married to tea, so she would definitely be blamed by the relatives.

I don't want the bride to be like she didn't do anything, and she is generous.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't get close to a strange woman.

After about half a year, the husband and wife not only shared the same bed, but also didn't even talk a few words.

But this woman never flattered and pestered endlessly, which made him feel relieved, but gradually became more guilty.

Once he returned home due to an accident, I remember that it was early spring, the south wind was just warm, Fang Fei was still young, he did not enter the courtyard gate, but he heard a burst of laughter and noise, it turned out that he was deliberately snubbed by his wife, was inviting a group of former girlfriends to a banquet, he saw her smile, not reluctant at all, even if he saw him inexplicably, did not show the slightest surprise, as if the two of them have always been in love, she has never been wronged, never worried, never left alone in the empty room.

That day, he finally couldn't help but apologize, but it only caused her to laugh: "Feidi-kun has finally made up his mind and wants to divorce his wife?" ”

The one who was stunned and flustered became him instead.

"If you don't want to divorce your wife, why do you apologize? I have always known that Feidi Jun has a heart, and I didn't want to marry, but I can't help my parents' words of matchmaking, so I understand Meng Jun's mood very well, but if Fei Di Jun decides to divorce his wife, of course it is unfair to me, then Fei Di Jun should really apologize, since he doesn't have this idea...... It's also good for the two of us to be at ease with each other. ”

After that, the two became friends, and when he went home occasionally, he would have a long talk with her about wine and discuss piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

She never persuaded him to join the office, nor did she mention Akiyama, he often stayed in Akiyama, and the relatives were not without reprimand, but his wife turned around for him and persuaded the relatives for him.

"At present, the court is fiercely contested, whether it is a curse or a blessing or two to say that it is not without benefits for Jiulang Taoguang to raise obscurity, as for the Akiyama view of the master...... Jiulang was already in love with him, and he had already made compromises for the sake of the family, so the elders didn't have to press it step by step. ”

This was relayed to him by Mrs. Wang, the sect woman, and she couldn't help poking her forehead and scolding angrily: "Ah Zhuo is so tolerant and virtuous, you are so cold, you really feel at ease?" ”

It seemed that this kind of day lasted for another year, but Akiyama had an argument with him, and because he was depressed, he went home to drink with his wife, and when he was half drunk, he couldn't help but worry: "Is it really that I did something wrong?" ”

"Of course it's Meng Lang's fault." The wife was merciless: "If I am the lord of the Autumn Mountain, I will also have a grudge against Meng Lang, because since Meng Lang made an oath to the mountain alliance and the sea, he should not be treacherous, Meng Lang should have understood that it is impossible for the lord of the autumn mountain to be recognized by the family, if Meng Lang did not have the confidence to convince the family, he should not have given the lord expectations, the so-called gentleman's promise, since there is a mountain alliance and sea oath, he should not break his promise, but because of Meng Lang's weakness, things have become this situation, how do you let the master of the view be relieved?" Meng Lang has lost the virtue of a gentleman, which will inevitably make me feel disdainful. ”

He did drink too much wine that day, and even proposed, "If I marry Akiyama now as my wife......

"I don't object, maybe when the Lord gives birth to Meng Lang's eldest son, it will be Meng Lang who proposes to reconcile with me, and the elders will have to compromise, so it's okay, we will be completely at ease with each other."

However, the person who disagrees is Akiyama, she is unwilling to be subordinate, and even less willing to flatter his relatives, she repeatedly pleaded: "If you really think about Akiyama, it is better to go away with Akiyama and fly high." ”

And it is impossible for him to really ignore his parents and leave.

Tell his wife about Akiyama's thoughts, she didn't even agree: "It's too selfish to deal with it like this, if Meng Lang goes away with her, the A family will be grief-stricken, Meng Lang is a filial son, where can he be desperate, alas, I don't know how to deal with this matter, Meng Lang still breaks it from his heart." ”

As a result, when he hesitated, Akiyama forced him again, and in a fit of rage, he blurted out his wife's words.

"The concubine is selfish? With Yuan's qualifications, he is also qualified to judge like this? If she was really reasonable, she shouldn't have been involved in this matter, Jun was ruthless to her, and if she hadn't been stalking, things wouldn't have developed to the current situation......"

That was the first time he saw Akiyama's true heart.

Because he knew very well that the Yuan clan was not reprimanded by Qiushan, he was hypocritical, cunning, vicious and vicious.

Brushed his sleeves away, stayed at a prostitute for several days, and got drunk.

Until I didn't know it, I dragged my tired body home, and at dusk, I saw my wife and maidservants drinking and laughing.

At that moment, his mood suddenly calmed down, and at the same time he was happy, even envious.

He began to question himself, what kind of woman is worthy of your single-minded treatment, and the mountains and seas swear to be a promise? And what kind of life is Meng Feidi's real yearning?

From then on, the heart gradually shifted.

But only he knew that until this time, he had not really gained the trust of his wife.

Although he was also moved by him, although he had a husband and wife with him, and although he already had children, he still felt that his clumsiness, at any time, could withdraw that limited affection, and he could be a stranger to him at any time.

She is so free and easy, and this is better than the bearded eyebrows like him.

"It's good if you're happy." In the end, he could only say this, but he held her hand for a long time.
