marry a weak waist

Chapter 81

It is said that there was a murder case in the family of Xianzun, and the case was handed over to the government office for trial.On that day, the guards took Mei Qing away, and the old lady was killed on the spot, and was buried by Meng Tiao.Liu Chaoru hadn't woken up from poisoning, so Dong Mo took him to Qingyuyuan to take care of him.

Meng Tiao lays a mourning hall for the old lady's coffin at Liu's house, and invites a group of Taoist monks to perform rituals.Because of the filial piety before the funeral, most Mengtiao lived in Liu's house, and seldom went back to Qingyu Garden.It was difficult for Dong Mo to get away completely in order to ask the doctor to treat Liu Chaoru on the other side, but he took time to come and accompany him for three or four hours every day, but he let the man Xiechun and a few servants help take care of it.

The old lady in this room is only seven years old, Liu Chaoru also failed to get treatment, and she buried jade in her young age.After Dong Mo packed his coffin and parked it, he walked to Liu's house to pick Mengtiao back to Qingyu Garden, only to be told in the carriage, "Shu Wang is gone."

Meng Yu was taken aback for a while, she couldn't eat or sleep well for several days, her muscles became emaciated, her cheeks were red and haggard, she was dressed in plain onyx, half of her waist was embedded in the old yellow setting sun outside the window, "When will it be?" about?"

"Noon. He hasn't woken up for the past few days. The doctor said earlier that there are bad luck and bad luck." He pressed his whole body against the car wall, his face equally pale.The tone was very calm, as expected, there was nothing surprising, but the eyes were empty, as if a play had ended, and the spectators were still lingering under the stage, bewildered by the scattered scenes.

Meng Tiao was speechless for a while, and these days always felt like a dream, a little muddled.The carriage jolted slightly, as if drifting in a dream, unable to wake up.

The dinner was useless for the two of them, and they went into the bedroom early to discuss the matter of helping the spirit.Dong Mo slowly walked around the room and lit the lamps, "I have to go to Nanjing first to send Shuwang's body back to his hometown and hand it over to his mother. Then I will transfer from Nanjing to Guangping Mansion. How do you plan?"

Meng Tiao sat on the couch, his mind was full of miscellaneous things, sorting them out, picking out the most important one first, "I want to send my mother back to her hometown of Wuxi for burial."

Dong Mo lit two silver lamps in front of the bed, held the other lamp, and walked with a feeling of loneliness, "I will send Director Cao to take someone with you. Where will you be buried in Wuxi?"

Director Cao is a man from Xiechun, this is a very proper arrangement.But Meng Tiao had another plan in mind, "My mother bought two acres of land in Wuxi before, and when we arrived in Jinan, I rented the land to someone to plant. I think I will bury my mother there. It's just that I hired a few people. It's the same as when I help the spirit to go back, how can you miss a man in Xiechun? Don't bother, and tell him to follow you all the way."

The sky dimmed in silence, weighing on Dong Mo's heart.He had guessed her plan, maybe she wanted to glance away at the relevant person, and it would be difficult to say if she would not come back to him after this trip.

It's not easy for him to force her. If he forces her a little more at this time, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it.He thought for a while, and solemnly shook her hand on the kang table.That hand was terribly cold, but it didn't matter, the four seasons are hot and cold, and there will always be a time when it gets hot again.

He gently kneaded, and lowered his eyes to show her his weakness, "Meng'er, you know, although my family has a large population, I have never had much to say to them. I have been going back and forth since I was a child, and I am always alone. When I studied the imperial examination, I recognized Shuwang as a friend, and I was able to say a few words of confidant, and then I finally met you again. Now Shuwang is gone, and I only have you left. You have no mother, and only you are left after going around Let me down. If we don't have each other anymore, even though I'm an official, you have money, and you can settle down wherever you go, but there will be no one around you. Aren't you afraid of loneliness?"

Meng Yu put her eyes on his two heavy eyelashes, they seemed unable to bear the weight of her gaze, trembling in the shadow of the lamp.She had never seen him so fragile, and her heart softened, and she shook his hand instead, "Then ask Director Cao to follow me."

She didn't dare to promise anything else, too many things happened in a period of time, one wave after another caught her off guard, she was powerless, she was confused about everything, and couldn't figure it out.

But she was willing to agree to this, and Dong Mo was gratified enough.He carried her to the bed, and Lalaijin was covered by the two of them, and he hugged her from behind and said, "You didn't eat well over there, and you lost so much weight."

Meng Tiao's face was pressed into his arms, and he smiled wearily, "You have lost a lot of weight, and you are still talking about me."

"It doesn't matter if I'm thin. If you lose weight, you'll be skinny." He held her arm with his other hand, sighed, and was speechless.

His breath against the back of her neck was like a gust of wind, suddenly blowing out a bubble of hot tears.During this period of busyness, it was rare to cry a lot, nestled in his arms, and cried with inexplicable relief.Dong Mo didn't persuade her, let her cry, but brushed her scattered hair behind her ears, and hugged her tightly again and again.

Gradually, Meng Yuan's eyes were heavy from crying, and he actually fell asleep.

It was a rare and solid sleep, and when I woke up, the clouds were clear and the sun was shining through the window.After washing up, Xiechun led the girls to pack their own things. Because they were going to Hebei, Xiechun had already packed them there, and Dong Mo took them on the road.On Mengyu's side, he only brought some of his own soft money, and also brought two maids, Xiechun man and a few servants.

Only the cat is not easy to deal with.Reluctant to part with it, Mengtiao hugged it in her lap, wishing to take it to Wuxi with her.Dong Mo was instructing the man from Xiechun to take care of Wuxi affairs, when he turned his head and saw Meng Yao sitting on the couch in a white shirt and white skirt, stroking the cat, with the white cat nestled on his lap, he looked like the incarnation of a cat.

He came over and twisted the cat, "Little Shadow follows me and is a hostage, in case you don't come back to me when you arrive in Wuxi."

Meng Yu felt guilty for a while when he told him, and raised his eyes to annoy him, "Just a cat trying to coerce me? You really look down on me too much."

"This is not an ordinary cat, this is your original body. I hold the original body in my hand, where can the refined human form fly to?" He turned his head and told the man in Xiechun, "Go ask the carpenter to open it. A good cage should be big and comfortable, and it should be done in two days."

The man in Xiechun responded, glanced at Mengyuan, and returned to Dong Mo with a smile, "Don't worry, sir, how can you accompany the girl to Guangping Mansion, I will never let the girl lose a hair. "

Dong Mo put down the cat and squinted at Mengyao, "You have to be careful, the girl is trying to run away."

"Who is holding back and wants to run away!" Meng Yu stood up, pouted and refused to admit it, with sweetness in his mind.

Just as I was talking, I heard the girl say that Kouhen and Qiusheng came to say goodbye.Meng Tiao and Dong Mo went outside to correspond.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kouhen took Mengyuan into the bedroom alone to talk.

Meng Tiao's face was cold, and he asked her to sit on the couch, and said: "Second Miss, don't try to persuade me anymore, I remember everything you said, and I haven't forgotten a single word. Let me think about it, After thinking it through, I will settle down in Wuxi and never see Zhang Ping again."

After hearing this, Kou Hen was a little relieved, and said instead: "Miss Meng misunderstood, I didn't mean to talk about this, I just wanted to persuade you to mourn. When something like this happened, I felt very bad when I heard it..."

"Second Miss, don't be so polite." Meng Yu turned his face around, and in a flash, he became the former Meng Yu, with two sharp knives hanging from the corners of his lips, "There is no such thing as politeness between you and me. Maybe you are a I am not a person who is used to talking about politeness. I am a poor woman in the market. I am deceived and deceived. Although I have read a few books by chance, I can't get on the high stage. But since there are rich ladies like you in the world, There are too many rough people like me, maybe the world can tolerate you, but it can't tolerate me. We live our own lives and have nothing to do with each other, so naturally there is no need to be polite."

Kou Hen was startled, and nodded with a hesitant smile, "Ms. Meng seems to have changed suddenly."

"What you said is wrong. I have always been like this. It's just that in the past, in order to please you, I couldn't help being submissive. You won't like me anyway, and your family can't tolerate me. Why should I bother To please? Or do things independently, each doing his own thing."

This time finally Kouhen was speechless to each other, she stood up with a smile, sighed three times "yes", and opened the curtain just now.Under the curtain, she turned her head and glanced at Meng Yuan again, as if seeing all the unimaginable but real things happening in the streets and alleys that she can't control.

After she left, Meng Yu was about to go out, when Pian Qiusheng came in through the curtain, hesitantly asked, "Miss Meng, how is Miss Mei?"

Asking him, Meng Tiao's heart felt sad again.Ever since Mei Qing was taken away by the government office, she was busy with the old lady's affairs and never had time to visit her.Sometimes when I think about it, I don’t know how to face it, so I simply didn’t mention it.

Now that Qiusheng was talking, Mengtiao lowered his chin slightly.It's very strange, hate is out of the question, just a little angry, and there are infinite regrets and sorrows.It was as if the three of them, mother and daughter, were disasters of war in themselves, entangled with each other, and finally hanged two of them on such a day, and she survived by luck.

Yet she also knew that they were finally free from each other, and that she would be forced to face the world alone.

"Still detained in the government office. The case has not been completed yet. Zhang Ping said that he should be escorted to the Beijing Ministry of Criminal Justice after the case is completed. I have no time to see her."

Qiu Sheng had a sentence hanging on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say it in the end.He nodded, rubbed his knees, some remaining warmth was in his fingers, he clasped his hands, and slowly got up from his seat.Many things end in silence, there is no ending, maybe there is another unknowable ending in the dream, it is hard to say.

The couple set off, Dong Mo only saw them off at the door, and turned back to the garden for a while, and then arranged his and Meng Yuan's itinerary.

In the meantime, when he wanted to talk about Mei Qing, Meng Yu avoided talking about it, and just smiled palely, "Killing people pays for their lives, and she even poisoned a court official. Do you want you to break the law and manage it privately? You don't like that." I don't want to ask you to do such a thing."

Speaking of this verse, she paused for a moment and shed tears, "I know Mei Qing, she did this, I'm afraid she never thought of living."

Dong Mo chased the girl out, sat behind him and hugged her, "She is your sister, whether you go to see her or not is up to you. If you don't want to see her now, I can ask the yamen to delay the case until you wait Bury your mother, and then go to Wuxi to see her."

Meng Tiao only cared about folding the clothes in his hand, folded them in thirds, and sniffled, "If she goes to Beijing, will I still see her?"

"Even if the Ministry of Punishment decides the sentence, it will not be executed immediately. It will be next autumn at the earliest. Some prisoners are often delayed for several years before execution. When you come to Beijing next year, you can still see her if you want to. guilty."

Meng Tiao himself couldn't make up his mind whether to go to Beijing or not, so he paused, and in silence picked up another piece of clothing to fold.A few folds of time, that is to say goodbye.

Go to Wuxi to choose the waterway and charter a boat.Dong Mo decided to leave for Nanjing the next day. He rushed Meng Tiao to the pier early in the morning, and directed the boys under the boat to carry it.

The long plank road has been weathered for a long time, and it is a little decayed. There are waves hitting the bottom, which makes the plank road slightly turbulent.Standing beside him, Meng Yu glanced towards the canal. There were many boats floating on the water, some of them turned into ants, and some had just set sail. "Start the boat! Let the boat go!" Some boatmen yelled one after another, the voice was vague, like an echo from the ends of the earth.Both of them felt that their lives were uncertain, so they were silent for a few times.

When everything and the old lady's coffin were moved to the boat, they had to talk.First, Dong Mo smiled, held Meng Tiao's hand, and faced the river, "That year when I returned to Beijing from Jinan, you came to see me off, didn't you?"

Mengyu was speechless for a moment, then nodded, "I was in the carriage at that time, Meng Yu was beside me, and I was not allowed to get out of the carriage. I just watched you through the curtain, and you talked to Shuwang at the bow of the boat for a long time. "

"At that time, did you ever think that I would come back?"

Mengyu shook his head slowly, "I haven't thought about it, and I don't dare to think about it...but I hope you can come back."

"I'm the same right now."

Dong Mo took her hand and kissed it on the lips.Two hands covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of teary eyes.He has to allow her to sway, after all, the world has made her walk so many wrong paths.It always takes time to come to him.

He smiled on the lips on the back of her hand, "I don't force you, I know you have many reasons for looking forward and backward. But I have been waiting for you."

Meng Tiao resisted not crying, and instinctively nodded his head.Finally, the girl came to urge her to board the boat and ran to the deck without stopping.Sailed the boat and drifted away from the shore.Dong Mo was still standing on the pier, the round-neck gown with grass green gauze and white background that he was wearing today, standing among all kinds of travelers.

Those clusters of people walked past him lively, but he was silent all the time, like a mute, no one spoke to him.

Meng Tiao clutched at the railing, her feet were in a daze, making her own feelings blurred, her own joys and sorrows, worries and fears became a little erratic and unrealistic, instead, there was another kind of feeling born of him. began to take root in her—

On the deck, Lifu was hitting something with a hammer, boom, boom, boom, hitting Mengyu's heart one after another.she will go back!She wants to go back!Go back to him and make him not so lonely anymore!

However, Jiang Chengqiu has been exhausted for several days, Lianyun in Tingzhou, Daishan on both sides of the river, and the way back to people is lost.

The group first arrived in Changzhou, and then transferred to Wuxi by land.It was mid-November when we arrived in Wuxi.The place where he settled was the ancestral home of a Tongpan in Changzhou Prefecture. The Tongpan was from Wuxi. He had dealt with Dong Mo twice before. This time, Dong Mo wrote a letter to trust him. Meng Tiao settled properly in his old house in Wuxi.

A pair of his uncle and aunt also lived in the house. They were elderly people who were natives of Wuxi and took good care of Meng Tiao.Meng Tiao was too embarrassed to bother her, so she asked the girl to wrap up 50 taels of silver and send it to her.

At night, the old aunt also brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge as a thank you, and greeted with a smile, "Miss of all of you, eat these things for maintenance. I don't have any at home, so I bought them on the street in the afternoon. If you eat them It's not real, girl, don't worry about it."

Meng Tiao hurriedly asked the girl to pick him up, invited his aunt to sit on the couch, lit a few bright candles, and took advantage of the light and moonlight to inquire about an alley her mother had mentioned, "Auntie is too polite, I have something to do I want to ask you, but I didn’t go to the house to say hello, but I asked you to come over at night. There is an alley in Wuxi called Chushan Lane, I wonder if my aunt knows it? I want to ask you for advice.”

The aunt laughed repeatedly, "Miss, you are asking the right person. I am familiar with Chushan Lane. I have relatives who live there, and I often go there. Why, Miss has relatives there?"

Meng Tiao was pleasantly surprised, and half-truthfully said: "Did you know that there was a family with the same surname as me? It was my grandfather's house. My mother had a fight with my grandfather and grandmother because of marriage in the early years. Not very happy, and later married to Jinan, never had the opportunity to come back to see her. Now that she died of illness, I helped her spirit come back, and wanted to visit her grandparents for her old man."

Don't say anything, as soon as I mentioned my aunt, I stomped my feet twice, "So you are the granddaughter of Meng's family? Ouch, it's too late! The old lady of Meng's family passed away two years ago, and the old man just passed away last year." , the next few children pushed me and pushed you, and they refused to pay for the burial. In the end, our county lord couldn't stand it and paid for it."

Meng Tiao's heart suddenly felt lost, and he hesitated for a moment, "Dead..."

"Hey." The aunt sighed and persuaded: "However, the girl's aunts and uncles are still in Wuxi. If the girl goes to see it, I will go to my relative's house tomorrow to inquire about it."

Meng Tiao came back to his senses after a long while, and shook his head, "I haven't dealt with it all this time, so it's not easy to bother me now. Let's talk about it after I bury my mother. Thank you aunt for your trouble."

Later, she talked about the two acres of land in her family. Meng Tiao never went to see it when she was a child. There are often ferries coming and going, you take the coffins, and I will give you some silver taels, and I will also carry you."

Unexpectedly, money may not be able to make ghosts turn the clock. Two days later, they made a dharma ground and were about to be buried. A group of people came to the pier in a mighty manner, but none of the boats were willing to carry them.

Meng Tiao stomped his feet in resentment at the pier, "It may not be that there are no dead people in their house! If there are dead people, it may not be our fault!"

The Xiechun man added another five taels of silver in his hand, and arched to Mengyu: "Girl, wait here, I will go and ask myself, I don't believe in this evil, I don't earn money if I have money!"

After speaking, he went to the pier with a boy.A group of monks, priests, servants and girls put down their things and waited in a tea shed on the shore.

Meng Tiao had nothing to do, holding Mrs. Tang in his arms and looking out of the tea shed, he saw the lonely peaks in the four fields, the dense clouds gradually gathered, the wind was blowing, and the paper banners in front of the shed were screaming loudly, as if it was going to snow .

Sure enough, it began to snow immediately, and the lake became even more vast.Through the thick fog and gray snow, it seems that Dong Mo is still standing on the far shore.Is he still there waiting for her?She couldn't keep him waiting any longer.In this bizarre and absurd world, what is true and what is false?She wants to go back and stick to him, whether it is stable or wandering.

The "later" mentioned by Kou Hen may or may not happen, she is not sure.But she figured it out now, Dong Mo was waiting for her, and she had to go back.Anyway, life is always so uncertain, what is there to be afraid of?

As she thought this way, her mind became more and more determined, as if she was born out of an old dream in the past.

After a while, the boy rushed back to report, "Girl, good luck! Those boatmen refused to take a ride, but they met the county government's boat coming from the opposite side and asked us. We said to send the coffin to the opposite side for burial, but the county lord was willing to take it. I'm going to invite the girls over."

"The county lord?" Mengyu remembered what he heard from his aunt that night that his grandfather was gone, and the county lord paid for it.She stood up and led everyone up to the pier, "What's the county master's name? Thank you very much."

"Hey, I forgot to ask, Director Cao is waiting to see you on the boat, we'll find out when we go there."

When they arrived at the pier, first two servants came down to pick them up, and everyone only focused on carrying them to the building boat.Meng Yuan and Xie Chun men followed the guards to the main cabin to meet them.The guard knocked on the cabin door, "My lord, thank you."

Through the crack of the door, a gentle young voice came from inside, "It's just a convenience, I tell them no thanks, I invite them to rest in the cabin, and I will take them back in the afternoon."

Meng Tiao always felt that this voice seemed familiar, and he had no time to think about it, so he begged the guards to thank him.The guard had no choice but to knock again, "My lord, I must thank you for refusing to leave."

There seemed to be a sigh, and finally the cabin door opened slightly, and a young man stood facing him, wearing a crab shell green robe, handsome and handsome, with a face like a crown jade.As soon as the officer turned around, both he and Meng Yuan showed surprise, and were speechless for a while.

Backward, Hufeng blew Meng Yuan back to his senses majesticly, opened his mouth and yelled in a daze: "Chang Xiucai..."

That Chang Shaojun also had mixed feelings in an instant, and the fleeting years came and went, turning back and forth.He bowed and called "Ma'am", and immediately remembered something, and gripped the door frame tightly, "I just heard from the housekeeper that your old lady passed away?"

Meng Yao burst into grief from nowhere, couldn't stop crying, and nodded, "My mother is gone."

Chang Shaojun's face turned pale in an instant, and he was stunned for a long time.After pushing her away, I saw a pitch-black coffin parked on the wide deck.He walked towards the coffin, his back embedded inch by inch into the vast cloud and dark snow...

It suddenly reminded Meng Yu of that year, on a sunny day, Meng Li propped herself up on the couch and smiled charmingly: "Young Master, I suddenly want to eat an orange."

Chang Xiucai smiled back at her, and in those eyes, there was clearly indulgence, "I'll strip it for you."

Mengli squinted her eyes, unable to hide the glory in her eyes.

It was that night when the moon was so white that it was barren, and Mengli cleaned the hairpin and lead, and stood in front of the jagged rockery with a cold and bleak attitude, scolding him: "What a fool! In this world, gold, silver and power are hard to come by, but the word love is worthless, why are you stubborn?!"

Perhaps Yelu was too heavy, and the dress fell so heavily that Mengli struggled to turn her back, as if with a painful determination.She walked more and more slowly, the moonlight shone on her plain body, with only a little tear dotted on her face.

He also turned around and left, lost in a daze, exactly at this moment.
