The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Early the next morning.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi set off for Deqing County.

Huzhou City is not far from Deqing County. It takes less than two hours to reach Deqing County by carriage. This avoids the bumps of the carriage at high speed. Gu Jingxi told the driver to slow down and it took a full two hours to reach Deqing County.

Although Deqing County is not as prosperous as Huzhou City, it is still a prosperous county and is not far behind.

After the carriage entered the city, it went directly to the county government office. Mr. Du did not have a house in Deqing County. He lived in the county government office every day. He worked in the county government office during the day and had a yard in the back hall of the county government office for the county officials and their families to live at night.

Before coming to Deqing County, Gu Jingxi had asked Butler Liu to send someone to inform Lord Du.

When Mr. Du learned about this, he was flattered. His late wife had a good relationship with the biological mother of the girl from the Meng family, so after Zhou's death, his wife would still find time to visit the girl from time to time. Later, his wife passed away. He was also sent to another place, and the two families lost contact. After not seeing each other for so many years, I didn't expect that the girl was still thinking about him and came to visit him with Mr. Gu.

Master Du thought that they would not go back on the same day when they came from Huzhou City, so he asked the guest room to be cleaned up in advance, and asked the cook to buy food and come back to entertain them. However, he did not leave the county government office and was waiting at the county government office. They arrived as a couple.

After waiting for a long time, the person finally arrived. Mr. Du quickly went out to greet them. When he saw the couple, he was about to salute Gu Jingxi.

However, Gu Jingxi bowed before him and respectfully bowed to him as a junior: "Yao Ling has met my uncle."

Meng Jinyao also saluted: "Ayao has met my uncle."

When Mr. Du saw this, he was flattered and said hurriedly: "No need to be polite." As he said this, he looked at the child in his memory. When he saw that the child was already tall and slim, he looked like Mr. Zhou, but his temperament was not the same. He nodded lightly. , "It looks like, it really looks like, Ayao really looks like your mother."

After not seeing him for many years, Meng Jinyao still felt familiar with him when she saw him, and said with a smile: "Others also say that I look like my mother."

Mr. Du then looked at Gu Jingxi and saw that he was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. Although he was a bit older, he looked young. He was also a perfect match for this girl A Yao. He nodded repeatedly: "When I heard that you two were getting married, I'm very surprised. Now that I see you and your husband are so well matched, I feel that this marriage is a great one. A Yao has been suffering for so many years, and finally the pain is over."

Gu Jingxi turned to look at his young wife and said warmly: "Don't worry, uncle, Yao Ling will treat Ayao well in the future." After saying that, he looked at Mr. Du without any trace. Mr. Du looked similar to Du Size, but Mr. Du was calm He was also gentle, something Du Size didn't have, probably because he was still young.

Master Du nodded and said, "Yao Ling, A Yao, let's go in and talk first."

Entering the courtyard behind the county government office, several people sat down in the hall, asking each other how they were doing, and getting along well.

Knowing that they were going to stay here for a few days, Mr. Du naturally welcomed them and immediately took them to the guest room that had been packed long ago and put away their luggage.

At this time, a servant came to report that lunch was ready.

The three of them went to the hall to have lunch together. After lunch, Mr. Du suddenly remembered something and asked the couple to follow him to the study.

Gu Jingxi and his wife followed him to the study room and saw him taking out two painting boxes, taking out the well-preserved paintings from the painting boxes, and handed one of them to Meng Jinyao.

When Meng Jinyao saw this, she was a little confused: "Uncle, what is this?"

Master Du replied with a smile: "Ayao, open it and take a look. You will definitely like this painting."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao took the scroll and unfolded it with Gu Jingxi. When she saw the person in the painting, her eyes instantly froze. The person who painted this painting was very good at painting. The person in the painting was painted lifelike and very expressive. The appearance of the person is very similar to that of Meng Jinyao, but the temperament is different. The person in the painting is gentle, quiet and restrained.

Meng Jinyao stared blankly at the person in the painting, her eyes instantly turned red, and she whispered softly: "Mother."

She once had a portrait of her mother, which was also very expressive, but it was destroyed by Meng Jinyu. Later, Mrs. Sun had someone paint her a portrait to compensate her. The painting couldn't capture the charm of her mother, but it just looked similar and her eyes were similar. The tenderness flowing in it cannot be painted, but the painting in front of me can.

When Gu Jingxi saw this painting, he was stunned for a moment. He soon realized that the painting was not A Yao, but A Yao's mother, his mother-in-law. Why did this cousin have his mother-in-law? portrait?

Is it possible that Du Si Ze likes A Yao, and my uncle likes A Yao's mother, so he keeps the portrait of A Yao's mother?

When Meng Jinyao came to her senses, she was also confused as to why her cousin's uncle had a portrait of her mother and it was so well preserved. What was going on?

She asked softly: "Cousin, how come... you have my mother's portrait?"

Mr. Du probably also knew that the couple had probably misunderstood something, and said hurriedly: "This is a relic of your cousin's aunt, and this portrait was also painted by your cousin's aunt. Look at the signature below, Jing'an is your cousin's aunt's maiden name. Because it is your cousin's aunt's relic, I can't bear to throw it away, and this painting is also one of her most precious works. What she values, I value too. I always keep it with me and keep it safe. Two days ago, Yao Ling sent someone When I heard that you were coming, I remembered this painting. Finding this painting and giving it to you would be the best home for this painting."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao understood and thanked her quickly: "Thank you, uncle. I like this painting very much. I like it very much." She said, her voice choked up. It was obviously not the same painting as before, but she had regained it. a feeling of.

When Lord Du saw this, he also knew that she was thinking of her mother, so he comforted her gently: "Good child, don't cry."

Gu Jingxi gently wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and helped her put the painting away first, so that she would not cry uncontrollably later and wet the painting with her tears, which would ruin the painting.

Meng Jinyao sniffed, pushed back her tears, and turned to look at another painting. Since her uncle had taken out two paintings, that painting would definitely be shown to her, so she asked: "Uncle, what about that painting?" What’s on the painting? Is it also going to be given to me?”

Master Du said in a gentle tone: "I can't give this painting to you, but my cousin can show it to you."

After he finished speaking, he unfolded the scroll on the table, and the characters in the painting were also revealed. They were a pregnant young woman and a young girl in a garden full of flowers in spring. Looking at their expressions, they seemed to be talking, The young woman's belly was about eight months old.

Meng Jinyao recognized them at a glance. They were her cousin's aunt and her mother. At that time, her mother had not yet married and had not yet combed her hair into a woman's bun. But looking at her cousin's belly, she could tell that her cousin was about to be born. This proved that her mother The wedding is coming soon.

Mr. Du stretched out his hand to gently caress the pregnant young woman in the painting, and said with a gentle expression: "This is the only portrait of your cousin's aunt during pregnancy. Your cousin's aunt was painted by your mother, and your mother's portrait was painted by your cousin's aunt. Yes, they jointly created this painting. Their painting skills are very good, and I can't compare with them, so even if I copy it, I can't copy this charm."

Meng Jinyao originally liked this painting because it reminded her of her mother's appearance before she left the court. But when she heard about her cousin's paintings, she didn't like them, so she turned her attention to her husband, who was good at painting.

The meaning in her eyes was obvious. Gu Jingxi looked at her and knew what she wanted. He said warmly: "Uncle Cousin, can you lend me this painting to copy? I will copy one for Ayao."

Master Du nodded: "Of course you can."

Gu Jingxi had other things to do. Taking advantage of his free time, he wanted to finish the matter now, so he said again: "Uncle Cousin, can you prepare the painting tools now? I want to copy it now."

Master Du was a little confused and didn't understand why he was in such a hurry, but he didn't ask any more questions. He asked someone to prepare painting tools for him and let him copy the paintings. He originally wanted to see how good his painting skills were, but the master came to find him. Since he was busy with other things, he left first.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi were left in the study.

Gu Jingxi was copying, while Meng Jinyao stood nearby and watched, both looking attentively. He was concentrating on painting, and she saw that he was concentrating. When the maid passed by, she looked in from the window, and when she saw such a picture, she was fascinated for a moment.

He is the scenery in her eyes.

And they are the scenery in the eyes of others.
