Chapter 499: Unlucky Cousin, Happy Cousin

Ying Shaoyan didn't have such good luck. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He arrived in Xiyuzhou ten days later than Meng Yu, and the Meng family had already begun to prepare for the marriage of Meng Yu and Xiaoxiao. Ying Zhengyun and Su Qiyun also went to the door a few times, and they must give a generous gift. Meng Dingguo accepted it after a few pushes, but Ying Xiuling was still very angry with Ying Shaoyan, and she also spoke coldly to her eldest brother, which she had never done before. In the past, even if Ying Zhengyun ignored the feelings between them silently and married another woman, she never said a word of complaint, and the eldest brother was a god-like existence in her heart. But this time it was her most beloved little daughter, a child was gone for no reason, and Meng Xue was so weak, she was really distressed to see her daughter suffering. Ying Zhengyun couldn't defend his son, and he could only put down the gift, which contained a piece of golden jade jewelry to be used to marry Xiaoxiao, which was made by the most famous jewelry shop in Xiyuzhou. Ying Zhengyun persuaded Meng Dingguo to let the Ying family bear part of the marriage expenses. Then after listening to Ying Xiuling's unpleasant words, he left the Meng family's shabby courtyard gloomily.

Su Qiyun said to her husband worriedly: "Although my son is in the capital to prevent disasters for Dingguo, he has not had a responsibility for two years, no wonder Ling'er is angry." After all, Xiaoxue's health is so poor, and she has been separated from Shaoyan in the past two years, so there is no comfort at all. Our son doesn't do things in tune, and he is really too meaty. ”

Ying Zhengyun smiled bitterly: "You have always been proud of your son, just because he went to Haixi, do you also think he is unforgivable?"

Su Qiyun shed tears: "What Shaoyan does is indeed out of tune, but after all, it is our own son, how can we not feel distressed? You look at Meng Yu, when he does things, he is decisive and decisive." What are we doing, our son is tired, his body is lost, and in the end, he is not good on either side. ”

She also didn't understand Ying Shaoyan going to Haixi, and she couldn't let go of Ying Shaoyan's still thinking about Xiao Dianxiu, why did she have to be so good to this woman who had a violent temper and had injured herself with a sword! Xiaoxue was obviously about to give birth, and Ying Shaoyan could end the war quickly in Xiyuzhou, and it must be a military merit in his hands, and he went back to the capital directly to accompany Meng Xue to give birth, such a beautiful thing. However, he actually went to Haixi with brain water, causing himself to lose his martial arts, becoming half disabled, and compensating his grandson. If it weren't for the pity of his son, Su Qiyun would really be so angry that she wanted to kick him to death.

Ying Zhengyun pondered for a long time: "Don't blame Shaoyan, he is a kind person." There are some things that are difficult to explain in terms of whether they are worth it or not. If Shaoyan's martial arts are lost and his body is ruined, but Jiang Zhan even took his life, he can actually not go to Haixi. I think you must have married me during the war, and then lived alone with a son who had never seen his father for more than 20 years, why can't you understand the calculations of such a smart person?"

Su Qiyun thought of the unbearable hardship life, as well as the desolation of the orphans and widows who were calculated behind the back by the enemies of the Ying family, and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine: "My lord, Qiyun didn't know anything about the relationship between men and women at that time, and she didn't have the same love and infatuation as the children are now. But when the adult wore a white robe, rode a white horse and led the team to return victoriously, galloping across the streets of Xiyuzhou, Qiyun always thought, this is the hero of Xiyuzhou. Qiyun feels happy when she can do something for adults, what is sleepy and difficult, but she doesn't feel anything. ”

Ying Zhengyun couldn't imagine that his wife was such a strong and optimistic woman. At the beginning, she was the first talented woman in Xiyuzhou, and she was beautiful and dignified, which made her feel very alienated, very strange, and even uncomfortable. But today, I feel that this should be the partner of my dreams?

He hugged her very emotionally: "You just don't understand, your son is like you, he is smart and kind, and his disadvantage is that he can't calculate." He has always only cared about others, ignoring himself, but he is not fully calculated. Let's not blame him, let's do things well for him. ”

Su Qiyun was about to burst into tears for a while, she was thinking, Meng Yu said that Shaoyan was already on the way, but she didn't know when she would be able to come back, and whether she could make Xiaoxue change her mind.

Ying Shaoyan has already seen the Xiyuzhou he is most familiar with. In the past, he always had not been out of Xiyuzhou for 22 years since he was born because of his criminal status, and there was not a day when he didn't want to go out of his hometown to see. This time it was too long to leave, and he couldn't wait to rush back to his hometown to see his parents and the person who haunted him but was ashamed.

Although as a rule, he had to go to his parents first and say hello to them. But the devil made a mistake, but he turned a little north, and ran a little farther east. He faintly saw the Zhaoyu Temple newly built by Meng Dingguo in front of him, and his heart jumped. He knew that in the small col ahead of him was her home. How is she now? Must still be angry with herself. But suddenly his eyes froze, and he saw a petite woman, carrying a lot of things on her back, walking very slowly in front of her.

She was dressed very plainly, but she still couldn't hide her figure and graceful posture, this back was too familiar to her. But why did she carry so many things?

He hurried a few steps forward, but found that he was so weak now that he was about to gasp for a few steps, and he could not catch up with the man who had always been delicate. He wanted to call her name and help her carry the heavy things that bent her slender waist.

But before he could shout, a tall young man had already run over like a deer: "Sister Xiaoxue, why are you carrying so many things by yourself!"

He took something from Meng Xue's hand, Meng Xue straightened up, took two breaths, and then asked with a sweet smile: "Mengqing, who asked you to come? Why don't you follow Daddy to practice hard?"

Ying Shaoyan woke up at this time, this is Xiao Mengshi's younger brother Xiao Mengqing. After the death of Kusong Jushi, when Xiao Meng, who had studied art in Huangshan for less than a year, was picked up by his father Xiao Zhengyi. originally wanted the family to reunite, but he didn't want Meng Dingguo to resign, scatter his family wealth, and live an embarrassing life with his wife in the mountains of Xiyuzhou. Xiao Zhengyi asked Xiao Mengqing to also return to Xiyuzhou, worshiped Meng Dingguo as his master, and learned martial arts from him. Xiao Zhengyi knew that as soon as Meng Yu left, Meng Dingguo's heart was already in turmoil. He himself was the one who had lost his son and knew what that pain was. Besides, Meng Dingguo's life was embarrassing, and the people around him were willing to follow him, but he resolutely did not leave any of them. He didn't know how to take care of his own life, and his wife and Meng Xue were not in good health, so Xiao Zhengyi asked his son to be Meng Dingguo's apprentice. Not only has he learned the skills, but he can also contract the chores at home, and he can be regarded as taking care of this family of three.

Xiao Mengqing is not yet seventeen years old, but she is taller than Xiao Mengshi back then, and she looks very similar, but she looks thinner, more delicate and immature, and her personality is gentler than Xiao Mengshi. When the family encountered great changes, he also became very sensible. Xiao Mengqing has always admired Meng Dingguo's martial arts, when Meng Dingguo was an auxiliary minister, how could he learn martial arts from him, so he cherished this opportunity. In addition, Sister Xiaoxue is so beautiful, Xiao Mengqing likes Meng Xue from the bottom of her heart, but this is an ignorant teenager's heartfelt love for her beautiful sister. He is only a few months younger than Meng Xue, but Meng Xue is like a gentle big sister to him.

At this moment, he put his things on his back: "My homework today has met Uncle Meng's requirements! Besides, Uncle Meng is now full of thoughts about Brother Meng Yu's marriage, so he also gave me a few days off." But, Sister Xiaoxue, why did you run out to buy so many things by yourself and carry them yourself, where can you carry them?"

Meng Xue smiled, that smile was very beautiful: "My brother is back, and I brought my sister-in-law back, there are many things that can't be reconciled, I won't buy it for him and my sister-in-law, who will go?"

Xiao Mengqing said: "I'm willing to do anything to my sister." ”

Meng Xue laughed loudly: "You, your mouth is like honey." ”

Meng Xue smiled like a flower, even more beautiful, Xiao Mengqing was stunned: "Sister, you are so beautiful." ”

Meng Xue slapped him on the head: "At a young age, what do you know! Let's go back quickly." ”

Xiao Mengqing nodded hurriedly: "Sister, you go slowly, don't be too rushed, you will be tired." ”

Meng Xue couldn't help but smile again: "You are really very considerate, and your daughter-in-law will be blessed in the future." ”

Xiao Mengqing sighed unhappily: "It's a pity that there is no better than my sister." ”

Meng Xue slapped him again: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

They laughed and walked back, but they didn't want to see Ying Shaoyan directly. Ying Shaoyan was looking at Meng Xue blankly.

He hadn't seen her for two years, and when he saw her at the moment, he was just full of pain.

I saw Xiao Mengqing at a young age, but she was tall and jade, and her aura was full of energy, much like her former self. Moreover, such a young child is so good at talking, considerate, and even more like a silly bird.

Naturally, he would not be jealous of the intimacy between Xiao Mengqing and Xiaoxue, he could see that it was just an innocent sister-brother relationship. He just envied him for being gentle and considerate at a young age, and he was born to like girls. And he may not be worthy of a person like Xiaoxue at all.

The fairy-like woman followed her with all her heart at the beginning, but she treated her like this, and finally made her unbearable and left, who can blame her. Maybe this illness and heart is full of wounds, God is punishing himself.

Meng Xue was shocked when she saw that it was Ying Shaoyan, and then said: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you returned to Xiyuzhou?" ”

Ying Shaoyan looked at Meng Xue blankly, he could never get enough of the picturesque facial features, but he hadn't seen them for two years. He still said dumbfoundedly: "Xiaoxue, Meng Yu is back, he is still alive." ”

Meng Xue's beautiful little face seemed to be covered with frost, but there was no expression: "Yes, my brother has been dead for a long time, Meng Xue is glad that he can return to the dynasty by himself, so that his father and mother don't have to be sad anymore." ”

Ying Shaoyan didn't know what to say for a while, and was stunned for a long time before he said again: "Xiaoxue, Meng Yu is back, you should also go back to the capital, I really want to have our own home." ”

Meng Xue's tears dripped down: "The dynasty is indispensable to Lord Xiao Ying, you are now complacent, what do you want Xiao Xue to do? Besides, Lord Xiao Ying has never cared about Xiao Xue, why are you so bitter now." ”

Ying Shaoyan was even more stunned, his whole person was in a trance, and it seemed that he could no longer return to his normal emotions: "Xiaoxue, I should have gone to see my parents first, but I came to this place in a daze, I just wanted to see you in my heart." ”

When Xiao Mengqing saw this scene, he felt that Ying Shaoyan was very pitiful for a while, and he also knew that it was completely for his sister that Brother Shaoyan and Sister Xiaoxue had become like this. He understood Ying Shaoyan's dilemma, and even remembered the scene when his eldest brother Xiao Mengshi was struggling to pursue Meng Xue, and he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly said obediently: "Sister Xiaoxue, I'll send the things home first." ”

He responded to Shaoyan again: "Brother Shaoyan, then you send Sister Xiaoxue home!"

He wanted to give Ying Shaoyan a chance, and Ying Shaoyan nodded subconsciously. Meng Xue stopped Xiao Mengqing: "Mengqing, let's go." Xiao Ying is going to see his parents in a hurry. ”

Xiao Mengqing also knew that it was an unchangeable matter to see her parents first, otherwise it would be very serious, so she hurriedly responded to Shaoyan: "This place is also very close to Uncle Meng's house, Brother Shaoyan, don't forget to come over and meet Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng." ”

Ying Shaoyan said "yes", and all the words choked in his throat.

When he saw his parents, his mother complained a few words, but his father didn't say much, but was very kind to him, and asked him a few words about how he was in the capital and let him rest first. It's just that Ying Shaoyan stayed for two days, and then said to his parents: "The situation in the capital is urgent, the child comes back, first, I want to see my parents, and second, Meng Yu is back, the situation in the country and the dynasty is relatively stable, and the son can also temporarily break away, and I also want to solve the matter with Xiaoxue." It's just that her son saw Xiaoxue first, maybe she was completely disappointed in her son, and her son was ashamed, so she went to see her aunt and brother-in-law, and then planned to go back to the capital. ”

Su Qiyun's heart trembled: "Shaoyan, did you completely give up getting back together with Xiaoxue?" You see Meng Yuhe Xiaoxiao, after all the hardships, aren't they finally together? ”

Ying Shaoyan shook his head: "Mother, it's not that Shaoyan doesn't work hard, it's that Shaoyan really can't explain it in front of Xiaoxue." How can I compensate for the loss of her child, maybe someone will be better for her? Besides, I'm a disabled person now, so why bother to mislead people's youth. ”

Su Qiyun didn't know what to say for a while, and only said after a while: "Don't say much, Meng Yu and Xiaoxiao will soon have children." Why do you bother to punish yourself, your father and mother are the only ones who are the only seedlings. ”

Ying Shaoyan shook his head: "Mother, my son is already tired, let me and Xiaoxue forget each other first." But I only have Xiaoxue in my heart, she doesn't want to be my wife, so I will never have a wife. ”

Ying Zhengyun sighed: "Shaoyan, the child is gone, which everyone does not want to see, but it is not irretrievable." You are so young and you love each other, why can't you untie the knot in your heart and start over? Dad and mother have always been very fond of Xiaoxue, we were such a happy family, you work harder, let happiness come back to the family, isn't it?"

Ying Shaoyan lowered his head, and said after a while: "I'll go to see my aunt and brother-in-law tomorrow." It's just that the son now feels more and more useless, and he is obviously very sincere in his heart, but he can't say anything, and there is no way to explain it to Xiaoxue and his aunt and uncle. He had no way to say, he felt inferior even in front of Xiao Mengqing, he couldn't speak and do things and was not beautiful, he didn't know what to use to persuade his brother-in-law to prove that he was still worthy of Xiaoxue's return.

The simple courtyard of the Meng family is full of laughter, the wedding date is approaching, Ying Xiuling is not good, Meng Dingguo is simply bathed in happiness and sunshine. His son Meng Dingguo is finally going to get married! He is finally going to hold his grandson!

Just when they were extremely happy and happy, his unlucky son-in-law came to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He was speechless and ashamed, he was sad and disappointed, he was depressed and could not help himself. You can only salute your father-in-law and mother-in-law as usual. Seeing his thin and wilted appearance, Ying Xiuling couldn't regain his nephew's anger, but comforted him a few words. Time passed, and she also knew that Ying Shaoyan's insistence on staying in the capital was for the safety of Meng Dingguo. In the face of those treacherous and slippery important ministers of the country, he didn't know how much effort he had took, and how many hardships and dangers he had gone through to maintain the current situation.

Meng Xue didn't seem to see him. And Xiao Mengqing was very well-behaved, he talked with Meng Xue again, and was busy moving chairs, pouring tea, and putting clothes for Ying Shaoyan. He knew that if he wanted his sister to be happy, he had to coax his brother-in-law. But he wasn't sure in his heart that this beautiful sister was too strong, and she was disappointed in her brother-in-law.

Meng Yu and Xiaoxiao also said countless good things, but Meng Xue seemed to hear nothing and couldn't see anything.

Ying Shaoyan couldn't stay any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Meng Dingguo asked him how long he planned to stay in Xiyuzhou. He just said expressionlessly: "I have been with my father and mother for two days, and the affairs in the capital are also busy. ”

Meng Dingguo exclaimed: "Didn't you attend Meng Yu's wedding either?"

Ying Shaoyan's tears could only flow in his heart: "Uncle, attending someone else's wedding and seeing other people's happiness, Shaoyan can only be more painful, nephew should go back to the capital as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, he saluted Meng Dingguo and Ying Xiuling. said goodbye to Meng Yu and smiled again. Only then did he say to Meng Xue: "Xiaoxue, don't work too hard, if there is something that needs me to do, no matter what it is, just send someone to tell me to know." If you need me to go back to Xiyuzhou, I will come back at any time. If you don't need me to be in front of you, I won't annoy you. ”

With that, he turned and left, stumbling a little. Everyone knew that he must be in extreme pain in his heart, and it was impossible for Meng Xue not to be in pain, just holding on there.

Xiaoxiao suddenly seemed to think of something, and stopped him: "Brother Shaoyan, I see that your face is wrong, have you not taken any medicine recently?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words of laughter.

Ying Shaoyan laughed miserably: "If you still have any thoughts about taking medicine, you shouldn't have taken it in the first place." ”

smiled and said anxiously: "How can it be done, the medicine is bitter and unpleasant, but in the past two years, the eldest brother has survived by insisting on taking medicine." You said that taking medicine can make you feel better, and you can go back to Xiyuzhou to see your relatives. But why don't you eat it now?"

Ying Shaoyan smiled reluctantly: "Didn't you come back to see it?" This time, if no one needs me, there is no need to go back to Xiyuzhou, what is the use of taking that medicine again. ”

smiled and said, "Big brother, wait." Then he ran to the back room, Ying Xiuling was startled: "Xiaoxiao, you can slow down!" Kexiao had already entered the back room, and after a while, he took out a medicine bag like a mountain, at least dozens of packets of medicine, tied together with a rope.

She responded to Shaoyan: "Brother Shaoyan, I know that your medicine is about to run out, and I specially prepared it for you, you have to leave, and bring this medicine with you." ”

Ying Shaoyan looked at Meng Xue, but Meng Xue sat there without squeaking.

Ying Shaoyan suddenly felt that all thoughts were lost, and he said with all his strength: "Don't eat!

After that, he ignored anyone, turned around and left.

Xiaoxiao hurriedly looked at Meng Yu, Meng Yu took the mountain-like medicine bag from Xiaoxiao's hand and stuffed it into Meng Xue's hand: "Send it up quickly, otherwise my cousin will really die!"

Meng Xue had already turned over the river and sea in her heart just now. At this time, when I saw that Ying Shaoyan left without taking medicine, I had already panicked. Hurriedly took the medicine bag from his brother's hand and ran out the door.

She was weak and moved slowly, so she didn't take medicine for several days, and she staggered and choked. Meng Xue finally caught up with him, and she was almost out of breath. She grabbed his arm with all her might, the huge medicine bag swaying from side to side on her other hand, and she was almost unable to control herself.

Ying Shaoyan was suddenly grabbed by her soft little hand, his heart trembled, he hurriedly turned around, and saw Meng Xue chasing after him breathlessly, his tears finally flowed out: "Xiaoxue, don't hate me so much." He hugged Meng Xue at once, and both of them couldn't stand and fell to the ground. He grabbed Meng Xue's shoulder: "Xiaoxue, I am a sinful person, but if you don't want me anymore, where can I go? ”

Meng Xue looked at Ying Shaoyan, tears welled up like water: "Cousin......"

Ying Shaoyan helped Meng Xue up, regardless of her staggering, but hugged her tightly: "Xiaoxue, whether I can live for one day, or for a year, ten years, or a hundred years, we won't be separated again, okay?
