Meng Yile sat where he was, didn't move or speak, quietly looked at Xie Lin opposite, waiting for him to speak.

Xie Lin saw him in a daze, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.He rolled up his wide sleeves, raised his hand to pick up the teapot, and filled Meng Yile's empty teacup. The fresh spring tea in it swirled along the yellow-green soup, reflecting the porcelain-white cup wall, There is a faint fragrance.

The man with cold eyes slightly raised his eyelids to look at him, "Why are you so surprised, can't I talk to you and have tea?"

"...How could that be?" Meng Yile smiled aloofly and indifferently, politely and just right, "Young Master Xie is willing to drink tea with Gu Mou, it's my luck."

"Oh, that's it." Xie Lin put down the teapot lightly, closed his eyelids lightly to cover the emotions surging inside, he stabilized his mind, and looked at Meng Yile with a sporadic smile: "Then let Gu Young master is more honored, how about having a meal with me?"

Hearing what he said, the smile on the corner of Meng Yile's mouth was a bit forced, but he was not born with a ruthless temperament, and he was not forced to say anything that would embarrass others.There was a bit of embarrassment in the peach blossom eyes of the handsome young man, and he tried his best to maintain the peaceful atmosphere between the two, "What a coincidence, I just had dinner before I came out..."

As soon as the words fell, Meng Yile's stomach immediately groaned twice.

Meng Yile: "!"

Schelling: "..."

Xie Chun: "..."

I am most afraid of the sudden quietness of the air.

Meng Yile's face was so hot that he wished he could get into the cracks in the ground immediately.

However, Xie Lin didn't seem to be able to see his embarrassment, and replied: "Oh, that's it." Such a light tone easily shattered the dignity of Meng Yile's pure boy.

Meng Yile raised his hand and touched his nose in embarrassment, his eyes were slightly unnatural, and he explained: "Maybe... I didn't, I didn't eat enough."

But Xie Lin no longer planned to play this kind of guessing game with him, he stood up and folded his clothes, and invited: "Let's go, Mr. Gu." His cold eyes looked straight into Meng Yile's, As cowardly as Meng Yile, he only exchanged a glance with him, and immediately gave in.

When he came back to his senses again, the two of them were already sitting in a private room of the restaurant.

The environment of the restaurant here looks very elegant, and the decoration is quite exquisite. There is a long table in the open space on the first floor of the restaurant, and a bunch of things are placed on it.

Although Meng Yile and the others were in the private room on the second floor, the door of the private room was wide open, and only a screen embroidered with birds and animals declined the curious eyes from outside, so the storyteller's voice could still be heard in the private room. I can hear you clearly.

That's good too, lest the two of them be relatively silent and embarrass each other.Hearing that the scholar tells some anecdotes about Jianghu, it should be a relief.

Halfway through their meal, Xie Chun left the private room and disappeared. For a while, there were only the two of them left in the private room. Meng Yile couldn't sit still immediately. He glanced at the man across from him, then at the man in front of him. With a table of wine and food, I feel a little bored and want to escape.

I really want to.

This was the first time the two had met since that very embarrassing parting scene, and it was very embarrassing, even if they wanted to talk about a topic, it would not be hot, especially Xie Lin was still cold and speechless.

The original way of getting along between the two of them has always been one party accommodating and coaxing the other, so it is still acceptable to get along, but the person who is accommodating and coaxing now doesn't want to continue anymore.

So after a meal, don't say it's old, there's nothing to say.

It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, those old things are not good anyway, and talking about them will only increase the embarrassment of the two of them.

Meng Yile gently put down his chopsticks, he pursed his lips, but he was thinking about how to tell Xie Lin that he had to leave and go home, he hesitated for a while, and finally prepared to speak, but he just opened his mouth Suddenly, his ears moved, and he heard his name from the outside——

"This young master of the Gu family is the most romantic person in the world. Not to mention that he has been lingering in the flowers and playing songs every night since he was 16 years old. Let's take the girls from these Goulan courtyards in the capital as an example. Mr. Gu is very familiar with their respective characteristics. I'm afraid I know better than the varieties of flowers and plants in my own yard."

"Ahem," Meng Yile heard this, and suddenly choked on his own saliva. He felt the fiery gaze from the other side, his face turned red, and he hurriedly covered his face with his sleeve in shame, justifying his name: "Young Master Xie, don't listen to their rumors, they are not allowed!"

Xie Lin's voice was faint, "Yes."

Gu Dawan in the house wanted to turn into a mouse to escape, but the storyteller outside didn't sense it at all, and continued vividly, "Until this year, a strange woman appeared in Yangzhou City! It's this woman, Let Gu Minglang gritted his teeth and chased directly from the capital to Yangzhou. The young master of the Gu family gave flowers and jewelry to people every day. Everyone said that good girls are afraid of pestering boys. After a long time, the girl named Qianqian also Fanfan's heart is moved!"

When the people below heard the name "Qianqian", they were agitated for a while: "Is this Qianqian related to this Qianqian from Yihongyuan?"

"Oh! Now that you said that, I just remembered that the three thousand grains of silver that went viral two months ago bought that Qianqian fairy Chuye, isn't it Gu Minglang?!"

"I can answer for you. My cousin happened to be there that day, and he told me about the process in detail! The person who hired Fairy Qianqian, the flower leader of Yihonglou, was that idiot from the Gu family! People have been arguing for a long time, even bluffing people about their own birthday, and finally embraced the beauty!"

The storyteller on the table saw that they were making too much trouble, cleared his throat, and lightly knocked the gavel, "Don't worry, everyone, the old man Yuanyuan can tell the story by himself, let's say that this Qianqian girl and that Gu family son Love was born, but I knew that Gu Minglang was an unreliable master, so I made a request to him: the matchmaker must marry me and carry me into Gu's residence before I can obey him."

"How can there be fat that Gu Minglang can't eat? He was so fascinated by this beauty at the time, he gritted his teeth and complied with the request! The palanquin carried this gentleman back home, and after that, he stayed behind closed doors for three whole days!"

Everyone snickered, "Three days, it seems that this beauty is indeed very attractive, no wonder Gu Minglang was so obsessed with ghosts that he agreed to marry her..."

"What brother said makes sense..."

In an instant, the topic changed, and there was a burst of obscene words, which couldn't be stopped.

The two people in the private room on the second floor all stared blankly. For a moment, boundless silence spread throughout the corner. Meng Yile lowered his head and closed his eyes lightly, wondering what he was thinking.

The sound of storytelling outside kept going: "On the night of the fourth day, Gu Minglang did something unexpected. He actually brought the young lady whom he married back home with eight sedan chairs, and ran straight to the house. Went to Baihualou, went to the boudoir of Fairy Zhilan, the oiran, and the three of them shared the bliss of the world."

"From then on, it was like this every day and every night. That Qingyuan had no power and power, and he was married and had nothing to rely on, so he could only let him hold him and suffer this contempt all day. Ming Lang came to Baihualou to drink flower wine again, and was taken away by the officers and soldiers of the yamen!"

"Why?"

"When did the government take care of people going to brothels to drink wine?"

"Sir, tell me quickly, don't hold your breath!"

"It turns out that Fairy Zhilan from Baihualou committed a major crime! She participated in the corruption and perverting the law of several high officials in the court, and helped them operate in private, passing news, laundering silver, and doing those dirty things in Baihualou. What a scam! The lord of Dali Temple started to investigate this matter a long time ago, and happened to catch them all that day!"

"It turned out to be that lord! The investigation is good, the lord is simply the savior of our people!"

"After so many years, the case that Mr. Xie has intervened in has never been unsolved! I don't know how many corrupt officials have been eliminated for the people!"

"My next proposal, let's replace the wine with tea and toast the lord facing the east!"

"Okay, I second it!"

Meng Yile lowered his head and smiled, without saying a word, he just picked up the small wine cup on the table, raised it to the level of his eyebrows, and drank it down in one gulp.

The glass of wine in Xie Lin's hand did not move a drop. He looked at the young man whose lips were stained red by the wine, his eyelashes trembled, and he said calmly: "That matter, Xie is sorry for you."

Meng Yile didn't expect him to apologize suddenly, so he raised his eyelids and stared at him for a long time—in fact, he had been waiting for an explanation, an apology from this person since the day he was put in prison.

When he said to himself, he had no choice but to do that at that time. In fact, he didn't intend to use himself like this. He was just doing things for the emperor, and most of the time he couldn't help himself.

But no, nothing, he waited for three whole days in that empty and cold cell, and finally the man came.But he only brought a letter of divorce, and a "loafer", and left.

This kind of behavior almost made Gu Minglang slump. While licking his wound sadly, he also smiled and dealt with all the people who would care about him. In order not to make them worry, he could only smile every day, what? Don't take it to heart.

But in fact, he recalled those three words with discomfort every day, and said softly, but he lost all the chic and unrestrainedness of a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse.During the month when Gu Minglang was locked up by Mr. Gu, he spent every day reading, dazed and... thinking of him.

I found one excuse after another for him, one difficulty after another, and in the end even he was convinced by himself, and he actually believed that Schelling had difficulties.Because he couldn't imagine that the lady who would smile gently at him would be as ruthless and merciless as Da Song described.

He made a swing in his own yard—a swing that Xie Lin had never tried before. When Gu Minglang was in a daze, he would think that his wife sitting on it and laughing would be... how beautiful and charming.

It's easy to hurt your mind if you have too many memories, Meng Yile blinked his slightly sore eyes, a smile spread on his mouth, and he waved his hand indifferently: "It's been so long since I said these things, Mr. Xie just don't mention me. I'm afraid I'll forget it hahaha..."

Xie Lin looked at his appearance, opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but suddenly there was a commotion outside, lively applause and exclamation came in——

"Shut up well! For such an unprogressive idiot as Gu Minglang, let alone a month of confinement, even a year is not too much!"

"Letting him out would only harm people. Mr. Gu should have taught him a lesson earlier, otherwise he wouldn't dare to act so arrogantly now!"

"That's right! None of the girls working in Gu's mansion have been murdered by him. There is no place for those girls to confide in their grievances..."

Meng Yile thought in his heart: Even he himself didn't know when he did such insane and outrageous things, but these untrue rumors could cause them to criticize and scold him again and again.

People's words are terrible, and rumors are terrible.

The storyteller continued: "A month later, this dandy was released, tsk, who would have thought that he would not change his mind, and the first thing he did when he came out was to drag his friends to the Yihong Tower. "

"That day happened to be the day when Fairy Qianqian from Yihonglou came out of the pavilion. If you say that Fairy Qianqian looks like a symbol, everyone just feels that the world is brighter when they see her, as if they have been washed clean. It's like double eyes! And this fairy just happened to wear a red dress that night!"

"What happened to the red dress?"

"Sir, did you mean that Qianqian in Yangzhou City also likes to wear red clothes?"

"When you put it that way, it really makes sense!"

The storyteller slowly said: "Yes, there is a way of fate, so Gu Minglang bought that fairy with three thousand grains of silver. However, even such a fairy girl, she still couldn't fall into the eyes of the young master of the Gu family. After this night, he never went to Yihong Building again. Until the opening day next month."

"This night, everyone thought that Gu Minglang was here for this Qianqian fairy, but he was as stable as Mount Tai, and he didn't even participate in the fairy's bidding. In the end, he took out 300 taels of silver and sold Yihonglou a The servant girl took her away! Everyone couldn't help being amazed, asking who is this rare beauty, who can win the favor of the prodigal son of the Gu family?"

"Who would have thought that if you look carefully, you can't see the slightest surprise on that ordinary face. Compared with that Qianqian fairy, you can't see it in the crowd. You can't pick out the ordinary one in the crowd. Hehe , probably this Mr. Gu has been contaminated with flowers for too long, and he is tired of eating big fish and meat, fat and thin, and wants to have a light porridge."

"If you want me to say, he is a scourge to too many girls, God made him blind!"

"It's good to be blind, and eliminate harm for the people!"

"Just let that ugly girl stay with him every day, and never separate!"

Meng Yile twirled his thumb, he sat in the same place and quietly listened to the evaluation of the people below, feeling a little angry in his heart—it was kapok.

Those people don't know how kind Kapok is, they can only see her ordinary appearance and ordinary face, but they can't see her exquisite heart at that moment, especially those white hands that can hold him The heart that was broken into dross was gathered together, and it was returned to him after it was warmed up.

——They don't know anything, but they dare to speculate wildly and talk nonsense!

Someone below asked: "How did sir hear about the marriage of that idiot? Why didn't we know about it?"

The gentleman replied: "Before, I lived in Yangzhou City for a while, and only came here in the last month, so I have a good understanding of the situation on both sides. It's just a pleasure to talk to you."

Everyone complimented him below, and the storyteller began to tell other stories.

And Meng Yile, the protagonist of the rumors, let go of his lightly twitched thumbs, smiled slightly and raised his eyes to look at the person opposite: "Listening to my own wonderful deeds told by other people is refreshing, and it has a completely different feeling."

Xie Lin stared at him for a while, then said deeply: "You were grounded for a month after you came back?"

Meng Yile rubbed his nose and pointed outside the door: "He has distorted the truth like this, Mr. Xie still believes it?" He shook his head, as if he thought the question asked by the person opposite was a bit ridiculous, explaining : "The storyteller's storytelling is just a pretense, not a bit of authenticity."

Xie Lin observed his expression carefully, as if trying to discern the truth from what he said, and asked after a while: "That night in Yihong Courtyard two months ago was your birthday?"

"No."

"You are lying."

"No," Meng Yile smiled, his peach eyes instantly became extremely bright, as if filled with affection, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you need to lie to Mr. Xie?"

The romantic and unrestrained attitude in that posture completely overlapped with Xie Lin's appearance when he first met him, so dazzling and bright that he could notice him at a glance even if he was thrown in the vast crowd.

The eyelashes of the man with indifferent eyebrows trembled slightly, and he said: "You and I have exchanged birthdays."

"It's fake." Meng Yile still smiled, and the coarse cloth clothes were all set off by him, "I only wanted to marry you back then, so I asked someone to do the math, but I couldn't get it together, so I had to ask a fortune teller to marry you." Write me a birthday that can be combined, and ask the matchmaker to hand it over to you."

Xie Lin didn't seem to have expected such a plot, he was startled, looking at the alienated and indifferent person who was smiling in front of him, he couldn't make a sound for a long time.It turned out that there was still such a twists and turns.

But this idiot despised by everyone is like a tough reed, not afraid of setbacks at all, just handles things properly one by one, presses all the hard work and sorrows in his heart, chews slowly by himself, and then only smiles leave it to him.

It took such a lot of trouble, just to deceive him, just to marry him.

After a while, Xie Lin rolled his throat, "That day, I never thought that you would be true...they kept rumoring you..."

"It is rumored that I am a libertine who hangs around flowers all day long, and I will never give my heart to anyone."

"sorry."

"Oh, it's been so long, why are you still talking about these things. Our ending was doomed from the very beginning—horoscope disagreement, bad marriage, no good results. It's me who doesn't believe in heaven and fate, so Going to try it." He bowed his head and laughed at himself: "I can only blame myself for getting such a bitter fruit."

"You don't have to blame yourself for all the mistakes. I used you first for this matter." Seeing the distant smile on the corner of his mouth, Xie Lin secretly clenched his fingers under the table, "I had ulterior motives from the beginning People's purpose is close to you, if you blame it, you should also blame me."

Meng Yile lowered his eyes, the smile on his lips did not fall, he said softly: "I don't blame you."

Xie Lin's eyelashes trembled violently, his eyelids twitched, his expression seemed to be a little excited, and he asked uncertainly, "You...?"

"I don't blame you, and there's nothing to blame. This marriage ended up like this, because we didn't have the fate to go on. The two hearts were deceitful from the beginning. How could there be no barriers in that marriage?" ,help each other?"

After he finished speaking, he laughed at himself: "Besides, before my wife married me, I promised to make her happy every day in the future. But Gu couldn't do it, and my wife didn't smile for a day after she married me. I'm sorry, but I broke my promise. So there is nothing unreasonable for you to separate from me. "

Meng Yile kept his head down, got up in a panic and bowed to him after speaking, turned around and left the private room in a hurry, leaving only Xie Lin with a dull face sitting there, thinking about what he said just now, thinking about him Downcast eyes and self-deprecating mouth corners.

And that unintentional lady.

The man's clenched fist with a cold look at the end of his eyes finally loosened, and he quietly put his hand on his heart, feeling a burst of pain there—so this is what it feels like to listen to someone he likes talking about alienation Sour.

He blinked the corner of his eyes, and suddenly remembered Gu Minglang's sobbing and begging voice that day in the prison, his desperate struggle and shouting, he called him: "My lady..."

But I didn't respond to him from the beginning to the end, and I didn't even look back.

It turns out that the feeling of seeing the person you like alienate yourself is so... sour, so sour...

Then how uncomfortable and painful he must have been that day.

The young man in prison clothes suddenly appeared in front of Xie Lin's eyes. He lowered his head tightly, twisted his bitten thumb on the linen clothes, and then called him in a trembling voice: "Madam...is it a lady? ?”

He was so uncertain, he was obviously the most unrestrained and happy young master of the Gu family, but his voice was so hesitant and flustered.

He said: "When you came up with this plan, did you ever think that... Gu also has a heart, and it will hurt." His voice was so wronged, like a child who has just been bullied, seeking comfort and hugs from adults.

—seeking his own consolation.

Xie Lin covered his eyes with his hands, he laughed at himself, and spoke hoarsely, which overlapped with the voice in his memory: "Young master Gu is such a well-known prodigal, don't say such things."

It's just that the mentality is different now.

"When you heard this sentence that day, why didn't you hate me...Why did you come to me again later, and brought all the good things to me to pick and criticize...Now I regret it, but I find that I have already put them away It's all gone..."

Meng Yile, who was walking on the road, was unhappy, and he was not in the mood for 432 to find him.

Meng Yile: 【Why did Gu Minglang meet Xie Lin? Obviously he can live happily ever after. 】

432: [Substitute yourself? 】

Meng Yile pouted: 【You don't know, I'm really not worth it for Gu Minglang right now. Although he's a bit of a waste, his human nature is very good.I never make big troubles to make my family worry, and I respect women. Although I love to squander money, when I hear a beautiful woman, I will go to talk to her at night... Well, this kind of behavior is a bit stupid... But no Affect the overall situation. 】

432: [Don't be sad, Lele. 】

Meng Yile: [No!Lele will be sad!Unless someone hugs me and lifts me up! 】

432: [I have a surprise for you! 】

Meng Yile: What?

【Ding!The completeness of the strategy target is +6, and the current completeness is 89. Congratulations to the host, please continue to work hard (≧▽≦)/]

Meng Yile: [People like Xie Lin are really annoying. He likes others to be kind and tolerant, but he has been squandering people's kindness. Does he think that this level of integrity can make me forgive him? 】

432 has no choice, spreads his hands: [Then why don't you be a bad person? 】

Meng Yile: [No, I still have to complete the level. He just eats this type of giving without expecting anything in return. Although I'm not happy, so what can I do. 】

432: […]

Meng Yile discussed with him: 【The next world, let me not be so frustrated, okay? 】

432: [Brother, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? What are you doing here? 】

Meng Yile: [Oh, yes, I am standing in the center of the universe calling for love. 】

432: [You are true, you are kind, you are beautiful, you must use your words and deeds to teach the other party what love is and what is a complete human emotion! 】

Meng Yile, who was successfully brainwashed: [Love makes the world brighter! 】
