Meng Zhihan was anxious: "Mother!" He looked back and saw the third brother who was bowing his head and said nothing, and hurriedly pushed him a few times: "Third brother, you also persuade mother, you can't just let a foreigner join our genealogy, this is What kind of reasoning?"
The master of the third room, Meng Zhihuai, raised his head. He was a gentleman, he usually likes to walk birds and see flowers, and he is more open-minded than his eldest brother. So he said: "I don't think there's anything wrong with my mother, and of course I have no opinion. Moreover, the second brother had a good relationship with General Sheng when he was alive. The second brother was humble and polite. If he was still alive today, Seeing that the Sheng family is in such a difficult situation, there is only one scorpion left, and he will also bring it to our family to raise him, and he will not ignore it."
Meng Zhihan was really pissed off by his third younger brother. Before he could say anything, the old lady Meng mentioned the sad thing, and then covered her heart with grief.
Her second son, Meng Zhixun, passed away too early, and it has always been a pain in her heart. Every time she mentioned it, she couldn't help but shed tears. Now that her third son mentioned it again, she couldn't bear the pain in her heart, so she covered her heart and cried.
"Xun'er..."
Seeing that Mrs. Meng was heartbroken, the eldest master Meng Zhihan could no longer speak. There was a room of people surrounding Old Madam Meng, fondling her heart and being comfortable, and it took a while for Old Madam Meng to relax.
In this way, Sheng Jiayan's entry into Meng's ancestral hall was finally finalized.
Picking a good day and auspicious day, Sheng Jiayan's name officially entered the ultimatum. Meng Qiqi stood in the crowd, watching Sheng Jiayan bow three times to the tablets of his parents and ancestors of the Meng family, and there was an indescribable tremor in his heart.
Sheng Jiayan did not need the surname Meng, he stayed in the Meng family as the adopted son of Meng Eqi's deceased father Meng Zhixun. Since he is the adopted son, he must be counted according to the ranking of the Meng family. Now Dafang has two sons, Meng Qiqi's eldest brother and second brother. The third house has only one son, Meng Eqi's third brother. Sheng Jiayan is a little older than her second and third brothers, so people in Meng's house call Sheng Jiayan 'the second young master'. .
Sheng Jiayan took the tea served by Bai Gao, took it with both hands, and gave it to Mrs. Meng.
The old lady Meng sat on the chair of the teacher, took the tea cup he handed over and took a sip, then smiled and pulled Sheng Jiayan up: "Good boy."
Since then, Sheng Jiayan has truly become an adopted son of Meng Zhixun, Meng Eqi's nominal brother.
Since then, Mrs. Meng has arranged for more than 30 servants and servants to serve Sheng Jiayan, ranging from the mammy cook who burns the fire to the servants who grind ink and boil water, and also changed Sheng Jiayan to a larger Changli Courtyard. This is the yard where Meng Qiqi's father lived before he married his wife. After all, Sheng Jiayan was raised as a serious young master.
In the outside world, Sheng Jiayan respected Master Chi Zheng, and Mr. Fu, who was well-known as Wen Cong, now has Meng Fu standing behind him, and Sheng Jiayan's situation has finally gradually improved. He himself also befriended the sons of the two great families in the capital, one was Fang Yansui, and the other was Yao Xin, the daughter of a famous family.
From this Fang Yansui, it can be regarded as an old friend of Meng Qiqi and Sheng Jiayan.
No, more precisely, his father was an old friend of the two of them.
Fang Bao is now in his forties, and he has one wife and six concubines, five sons and eight daughters. Hearing that he even hugged his grandson, Meng Eqi had to sigh with emotion, thinking that the person who could barely call Sheng Jiayan a brother or brother back then had actually become Sheng Jiayan's father in this life.
In any case, Meng Eqi's thoughts were finally half fulfilled.
In the days that followed, Meng Eqi even more unscrupulously pestered Sheng Jiayan, and went in and out with Sheng Jiayan. And with the last riot at Songlin Academy, Meng Eqi has already become famous in battle. The female teacher who was teaching also stopped coming to the academy because of illness. Instead, she changed to another female gentleman surnamed Li. Even when Fu Xinlan saw Meng Eqi later, she simply walked around, either keeping her head down to avoid eye contact, or avoiding communication.
But Meng Qiqi often saw a bit of vicious meaning in the eyes she occasionally showed.
Thinking about it, she hated herself. Not only did she not take advantage of that incident, but even Sheng Jiayan didn't know why she was inexplicably away from her.
In the end, everyone in the capital knew that Meng Eqi was the follower behind Sheng Jiayan's ass. Everyone knew that the arrogant and arrogant Princess Laiyi could only be subdued by Sheng Gongzi alone.
The days passed so unhurriedly in winter, and the New Year was approaching. Meng Qiqi was dragged up by Yansha early in the morning to prepare to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, queen and concubines in advance.
Sheng Jiayan went to Chi Zheng's place early in the morning, so he was not in the mansion. Meng Qiqi got into the carriage alone and entered the palace swayingly.
The queen dragged her a lot and said, "We will be thirteen-year-olds when we come to Yi after the year. Do we have someone we like now? With my aunt, maybe my aunt can help you quietly observe."
Meng Qiqi shook her head desperately: "I still, it's too early to talk about marriage now!"
The queen was amused by her, and the concubines hurriedly followed suit. I just heard the queen: "Where is it early? Your sister, Princess Changle, and auntie, chose a concubine for her at the age of twelve."
Meng Eqi threw herself into the empress's arms: "That's because Sister Changle is the eldest daughter, and the eldest daughter has a lot of responsibilities, but Laiyi does three things, and the two sisters above her head have no one, so Laiyi should not go ahead of them. go."
The queen smiled but did not say a word, and the concubines around her knew it well. Why doesn't this Princess Laiyi want to get married? Isn't her favorite person raised in the mansion? A few years ago, it was included in the pamphlet and genealogy, but no one dared to say these words in front of the queen.
Meng Qiqi chatted with the queen and the concubines about tea and flowers, which was really boring. Later, when the queen saw that she couldn't sit still, she mercifully allowed her to go back first. At the same time, he asked Meng Qiqi to bring many years' gifts to Old Lady Meng and the Meng Mansion back home. Meng Qiqi rode in a carriage full of loads and swayed back to the Meng Mansion.
As soon as the carriage drove out of the palace gate, it stopped again.
Yan Sha lifted the curtain of the car, and saw Nie Xuanlie standing in front of the carriage in a normal attire in the white snow.
"General Nie, is something wrong?"
Nie Xuanlie hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "Wei Chen's horse just let Princess Yongning take him away. Now Wei Chen is in a hurry to go out of the palace to do business, so I kindly ask Princess Yi to take Wei Chen for a ride."
Meng Qiqi looked out from the car window, and although Nie Xuanlie tried his best to look as usual, it was not difficult to see the anxiety brewing in his eyes.
This Xie Yaohua has nothing to do with Nie Xuanlie's horse.
Meng Qiqi had no choice but to say, "If that's the case, then General Nie will come up."
Nie Xuanjie thanked him, sat on the carriage, and took the initiative to act as a driver. Meng Eqi saw that he deliberately kept a distance, so he didn't care.
But Meng Eqi always thought of Nie Xuanlie's time when he was pulling on the corner of his clothes to be hugged by Meng Eqi. In the blink of an eye, such a person has also become a general who defends the tranquility of the Chu Kingdom.
"I don't know where the general is going?" Finally, she asked.
Nie Xuanlie was silent for a moment: "Put the grave of an old friend."
Meng Qiqi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she couldn't help asking, "But another girl Qiqi that you are thinking about?"
"Exactly."
Meng Eqi was silent, she pursed her lips, her heart was very complicated.
"I'll take a look with you," Meng Qiqi said, "After all, I have nothing to do when I go back to the mansion so early, and I'm also curious about who this woman is who makes General Nie lose his temper."
Nie Xuanlie, who was outside, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay."
The speed of the carriage suddenly accelerated, the color was getting darker, and it was about to snow.
The carriage jolted for a while, then slowly stopped.
Meng Qiqi knew that she had arrived, so Yan Sha helped her get off the carriage. As soon as she got off the carriage, she was deterred by the scene in front of her.
Everything you can see is a large piece of silver and white, and the peach forest that should have been there is only the dead branches swaying in the cold wind. I think that if spring comes, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, which should be a very beautiful scenery.
"General Nie's idea is really unique. I thought that everyone was buried on the top of the mountain. This is the first time I saw someone buried under a tree." Meng Qiqi said, her throat was dry.
Nie Xuanlie laughed involuntarily: "She didn't have time to see the peach blossoms before she died, so she thought of putting her here, so that she can still visit occasionally."
Meng Qiqi looked around and found that there were soldiers all around the peach forest. Nie Xuanlie actually turned this public peach forest into his private property, enclosing an undisturbed cemetery for himself.
In an instant, the wind blew up, fascinated Meng Qiqi's eyes.
She looked behind her tombstone and saw two tombs standing side by side. She stepped forward slowly as if instructed by something, and saw the names of Xiang Dingchen and Mo Chunfeng engraved on the tombstones side by side.
Meng Qiqi's eyes were hot.
Dingchen Spring Breeze…
Over there, Nie Xuanlie had already burned the paper, and he had not forgotten to fold a peach branch and burn it together.
He swept away the snow on Meng Eqi's tombstone with his hands, and Meng Eqi saw that the words 'love' were engraved on the tombstone.
"General Nie rushed to Taolin just now, just to burn paper for this girl Meng?"
Nie Xuanlie nodded: "I've been busy lately, so I can't get out of my body. Remembering that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I might have a good New Year by burning something for them."
"If Miss Meng knows that the general misses her so much, she will be very moved."
Nie Xuanlie pondered, he squatted in front of the tombstone and swept away all the snow.
"I often wonder when I can die and see her. Every time I dream of her, she always wears the blue clothes she wore on the day she died. She just smiles but doesn't speak, and I know how well she lived. Well, I also received what I burned."
"I sometimes hate her, hate her for being selfish, and leave me alone in this world. She should have met the person she wanted to see, but I will never see her again."
