The morning sun has not yet fully warmed up, but the ancients who are used to getting up early and going to bed early have already gathered in the street, some are shouting for business, and some are setting up their own small vegetable stalls.

There are few people on the street, not too many, but not too few.

The Xie Mansion is in a troubled world, and Xie Lin is a high-ranking official who wins the hearts of the people, and his every move attracts people's attention.Gu Minglang had just been pushed and jostled by Xie Chun, and a small group of people had already stopped curiously. When Xie Lin got off the soft sedan chair, a group of people seemed to have made an appointment, and their eyes all focused on it.

Meng Yile could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he felt the strong gossiping heart of the ancients, but he still tried his best to maintain the anger on his face, and could not show half-discriminatory emotions.It's hard, and it's excruciating to have a full stomach and nowhere to throw up.

The person who came out of the soft sedan was dressed in dark court clothes, an official hat, and official boots. His hair was tied tightly on the top, and a piece of mellow and simple jade was inlaid on it.

It was the first time for Meng Yile to see Xie Lin with his hair tied up high. Although he had seen him describe it as a man a few times before, every time he tied up his hair casually, and sometimes even loosened half of it unruly. Come.I don't know if it's for good looks, comfort or laziness in my bones, I have never had such a neat appearance.

The man with a cold look at the end of his eyes all the time, was complemented by such a costume with a strong aura, and his eyes could reveal a sharpness from it, which was a little bit different from his usual looseness.

As expected of Xie Lin, the well-known Minister of Dali Temple, looking at it this way, he was even more domineering, and the common people felt that their knees were weak when they saw him, and they immediately knelt down.

After Xie Lin came out, he also saw Gu Minglang. He had no surprises on his face, as if he had expected this person to come. The moment his eyes swept over him, there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes, and he calmed down the chill inside slightly. .

He is very white, and the sun reflects light slightly on his body, filled with such bright sunlight, he feels that the person he sees is like a piece of seductive jade, which does not hide his magnificence at all, but because it is too far away He is aloof and condescending, but it makes people flinch and shrink back.

This is completely different from Gu Minglang's description. Gu Minglang's pair of peach blossom eyes are suave and suave when he is not smiling, and there is a hint of provocation in anyone he catches a glimpse of. It seems to be full of affection, pouring it on people without shy away.He has red lips and white teeth and can talk, which is the most likable.

Such a person has absolutely nothing to do with such words as aloof. He likes to mingle with the crowd the most, loves to be lively, and just wants to mingle with everyone, understand their past, and know what happened to people.

When two people appear in the same picture, there will be two completely different extremes.

Looking at Xie Lin's appearance, Meng Yile suddenly felt that he understood why he had no fate with this person.Such a noble person should have been hugged and chased by others, with a majestic aura of standing still.

He just shouldn't be attracted to anyone. It's more real for such a person to be so high-end.

But Xie Lin didn't think so, after seeing Meng Yile, he gently lifted his front skirt with one hand, walked up the few stone stairs in front of Xie's mansion with a leisurely pace, and the slight smile on the corner of his mouth drove away the indifference on his face. , his voice was faint, but with a sense of inadvertent coercion: "Uncle Chen, why are you standing here?"

The old man with the goatee immediately said "Ouch" and moaned in pain, "The shoulder blade I twisted yesterday is still not healed yet, I am really old and useless, and no one pity me. Just gritted your teeth and endured..."

Xie Chun turned his head and looked at him with eyes full of complaints: "Hey..." The cry was weak, like complaining but also helpless, "Old man, why are you saying that in front of the master?"

The old man with the goatee didn't respond, and looked at Xie Lin with his beard shaking. Xie Lin got what he meant, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he swept Xie Chun with semi-majestic eyes, and said coldly: "what happened?"

Seeing his appearance, Xie Chun immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Master, I was wrong." After speaking, he raised his eyelids and took a peek at his expression, then hurriedly added: "Don't worry, before the old man's shoulder blades are healed, his work I took them all."

The man in official uniform with indifferent eyes responded lightly, then turned his eyes to the old man with the goatee, and asked, "Uncle Chen?"

The old man with the goatee was satisfied, and he no longer relied on the old to sell the old, "Don't let the distinguished guests stand in front of the house, go in."

Xie Lin nodded slightly, and was about to leave.But the old man with the goatee said "Ouch" twice, "I have pity on my old bones, I can't walk and no one reaches out to help me."

Xie Lin stopped in his tracks, and looked at Xie Chun lightly. Xie Chun immediately dared not speak out, and ran over with an aggrieved expression on his face, and whispered as he walked over: "Obviously there is no injury at all, so you know how to use me... ..."

The old man with the goatee was reluctant after hearing this, and retorted: "Who said it wasn't hurt? He couldn't fall asleep all night in pain!"

During the quarrel between the two, Xie Chun strode across the high threshold with his shoulders on his back, and returned home.

Xie Lin also followed in, walking slowly, looking at the two people in front, the corners of his lips curled up unintentionally.It was the first time Meng Yile saw him showing such an expression, and felt that the person in front of him directly subverted his previous image of aloofness and aloofness.

An unknown emotion emanated from Meng Yile's heart, which contained a lot of anger, but it was not all angry with the person in front of him, as if there was something else mixed in it, which made him a little uncontrollable The anger in his eyes is even stronger.

The man seemed to lose sight of himself in his eyes. Although he did not believe what he said just two days ago, what is Xie Lin doing now? Tell him that what he said that day was all false.This person, this person is too irritating!

Meng Yile was overwhelmed by the anger in his heart, uncontrollably reached out and grabbed the wide sleeve of Xie Lin's clothes, looked at him with eyes full of anger and coldness, without saying a word, just looked at him coldly.

Xie Lin felt the hindrance, so he looked sideways at the young man, the tenderness in his eyes hadn't had time to take back yet, and he still had a three-point smile, as if half of the ice and snow had been melted in a beautiful spring, he asked: " Won't you go in?"

That gentle and terrifying sound slipped into his ears one by one, and then turned into his heart along the passage. Meng Yile's fingers holding his sleeve trembled slightly, together with his fragile eyelashes.

He frowned and said, "You..."

Xie Lin seemed to know what he was going to say, so he raised his hand to stop him, "Let's go in and talk about it, otherwise the story of the young master of Gu's mansion and Xie's Xie in Xie's mansion tomorrow will be spread all over the streets and alleys."

Meng Yile's eyelashes trembled again, he couldn't stand Xie Lin like this, it made him look like a child making trouble for no reason.

He opened his lips, wanting to say something more, but Xie Lin looked straight into his eyes, where the clouds and mist swirled away layer by layer, revealing a bright moon, but the bright moon seemed to be immersed in the turbulent water, half full of loneliness, Ask: "What's the matter? Don't you even want to enter the mansion?"

Meng Yile hurriedly lowered his head and let go, turned around and strode into the high threshold, took a deep breath, waited until the mansion door behind him closed tightly with a "squeak", then stopped, turned around and stared sharply in his eyes. Looking at the man still dressed in official clothes: "You should know why I came here."

Xie Lin's eyes flickered for a moment, and the light inside flickered on and off. After a while, he nodded: "It's not difficult to guess."

Meng Yile stopped talking, and stood coldly waiting for him to speak, but Xie Lin suddenly smiled, a little lonely and helpless inside: "I have been waiting for so many days, can I wait a little longer, please thank me some time Fang change this official uniform, and then talk to Mr. Gu in detail?"

Meng Yile lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then directly refused: "I can't wait any longer, if I wait a little longer, she will be in more danger."

"Okay." Xie Lin nodded, expressing that he understood, "Then Mr. Gu, come with me. There are noisy people in the mansion, so the study room should be cleaner."

He took two steps and saw Meng Yile was still standing there, so he had no choice but to turn back and look down at him: "You don't want to go?" He coaxed him as if he was pampering a child, his voice was full of discussion.

"I don't want to." After Meng Yile finished speaking, he added: "Going here is already my bottom line, and if I take a step forward, there will be resistance in my heart."

These words really hurt people, but now Meng Yile says whatever hurts people, he has already decided in his heart that the disappearance of kapok is related to the person in front of him, since Xie Lin said that to him in the west courtyard that day , he completely put the other party on the opposite side.

He also gave a warning long ago: If something happens to Kapok, he will spend all his resources and financial resources, and he will be ruined and imprisoned.

Xie Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then came back to his senses and lowered his eyelids to cover the emotions in his eyes. A soft smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He was obviously a cold person who was not good at words and was not good at smiling. However, some people believed that he was an exiled immortal in the sky.

At this time, he made this gesture as if he had stepped down from a high platform, and his voice was still a little indulgent and gentle, like spring grass sprinkled by the sun in March, very soft: "I know you don't want to, but always Go to a place that is convenient for talking. Didn't you come to me today just to know... about your wife, so you can be wronged again... How about it?"

Meng Yile had never been so embarrassing or slandering others before. Seeing him like this, he closed his eyes, and opened them again with a sense of clarity. He said in a cold voice, "Young Master Lao Xie will lead the way."

Xie Lin pursed his lips slightly, and walked to the front.

Meng Yile looked at his back, feeling conflicted and embarrassed.Obviously this person's situation is not what I want to see, but things always deviate from the direction and are out of control.Regarding the matter of kapok, he would never be shaken because of this little bit of tenderness and pretense.

The two twisted and turned, turned one long corridor after another, all the way silent, no one spoke again, until a man in official uniform stopped in front of a hidden room, turned around and faced the cold-faced boy Said: "This is it, please."

Meng Yile glanced at him probingly, but couldn't see anything on that face, so he gave up, pushed the door open and walked in.

The interior is well-furnished and meticulous, and it looks very orderly at first glance. Even people who come here for the first time can find what they are looking for by groping around.He looked around in the study room for a week, and there was not even a single expensive calligraphy and painting in it, and the desks were not arty gadgets, and the few sparsely displayed items were all frequently used.

Meng Yile thought to himself, compared with his father's study, it should be described as shabby.

After the door closed behind him, Meng Yile turned to look at him, took a deep breath, suppressed the coldness in his voice, and said calmly: "Dare to ask Mr. Xie, can you tell me the whereabouts of my wife, Kapok?"

Xie Lin raised his head lightly, and stretched out his hands to grope for the official hat on his head. "Mr. Gu didn't even ask if Xie knew her whereabouts? Does this mean that her disappearance has something to do with me?"

However, the two ropes on the official hat were entangled somehow, and it seemed to be a dead knot if he didn't pay attention. No matter how he twisted it, he couldn't heal the knot that was entwined.

Xie Lin went to the morning court for half a day. The official uniform was heavy, and it was tightly wrapped around his body, like a layer of iron covering his body. The pressure made him extremely tired, and his eyebrows could not help but knit together. .

"Young Master Xie will probably look too stupid to me." Meng Yile saw that he was still going around in circles, and refused to tell the truth. The emotions that had just calmed down were once again defeated by the anger in his chest, and his whole body became cold again.

"The person who came to the other courtyard uninvited and told me that Kapok would not come back the day before yesterday was Mr. Xie, right?"

"good."

Meng Yile took a step forward and approached him, his face flushed slightly with deep anger, "If Mr. Xie really doesn't know her whereabouts, how can he know that she won't come back?"

Seeing him coming forward, Xie Lin had no choice but to let go of his hands that were still taking off his official hat, sighed softly, and looked down at him, "Mr. true."

Meng Yile raised his head and looked at him deeply, his eyes were so cold that he couldn't see any warmth: "Okay, let's talk about it."

As soon as Xie Lin heard this, he knew every word he said next, and even the young man in front of half a word would not believe it. His eyelashes trembled violently, and he felt that his heart was covered in frost, and he was slightly cold. Twitching and trembling, all the blood on the already thin lip color faded away, and it was almost transparent.

But he could only speak.

"Ms. Kapok went to a shop in the city with a bamboo basket that day, stayed there for a while and then came out immediately, and then she turned and went back to the other courtyard to the west..." Speaking of this, Sherring paused, "She was on the way While walking, a horse suddenly appeared in the busy street."

"and then?!"

"The horse seemed to have lost its mind and was very irritable. Miss Kapok probably didn't expect a horse to break into the bustling market suddenly. She was frightened and didn't react for a while, and was trampled by the horse."

Meng Yile opened his eyes wide and shouted at him, "What did you say?!"

Xie Lin closed his mouth and said nothing.

Meng Yile moved forward again, approaching him: "Do you know how many loopholes are in the words you just made up? Let alone how a horse breaks out on the street, a horse that loses its mind will have no one Care? There are so many people on the road that Kapok walks. If a horse suddenly jumped out, it should have been firmly restrained. It's been two full days, why hasn't there been any news yet?"

The young man who was always laughing in front of him had red eye circles. Looking at him, Xie Lin felt that the young man must be in extreme pain, but he still insisted on maintaining his rationality to analyze and refute with himself one by one.Schelling felt the pain too.

It turns out that Mr. Meng Lang in the world's population is worried and anxious for the love in his heart, so affectionate and persistent.Xie Lin thought to himself, how could he accidentally lose such a precious treasure, and as a result, a person who was supposed to love him deeply now looked at him like an enemy.

This huge gap made him dazed, resistant, unbelievable, and even thought that as long as he worked harder, the boy would still smile brightly at him as before, call his wife one by one, and try every means to make him happy. No matter the method, whether it is a swing or a garland, this person is always considerate and meticulous.

It doesn't matter if he is a man, if he doesn't want to go back to the capital, he will stay with him in Yangzhou, he said that Longyang was good in ancient times, but now he has an appointment to thank Gu, and said...

But after saying so much, he rejected all of them one by one. He rejected that piece of sincerity so coldly and aloofly. How dare he expect that person to come back today? How is he treating himself well?

Xie Lin smiled bitterly, but he was so thick-skinned, he wanted people to come back to him, and wanted him to smile at him gently again, such a bright and hearty young man's smile, he would never forget the color of that smile in his life.

It is because it is too clear that the current situation is so cold and terrifying.

Xie Lin stretched out his hand, took the young man with red eyes into his arms, hugged him tightly regardless of his struggle, dropped a light kiss on his earlobe, and coaxed him: "Don't be afraid, don't be sad, I know I will definitely let you know.”

【Ding!The completeness of the strategy target is 1, and the current completeness is 95. Congratulations to the host, please continue to work hard (≧▽≦)/]

But Meng Yile pushed him away, because of struggling, the bun that hadn't been tidied for two days was in a mess at this moment, he sneered: "Young Master Xie, if you want to make it up, you have to do it in a decent way, don't be so full of loopholes... ...or Mr. Xie thinks you are not sincere enough, so you don't want to tell me the truth?"

Xie Lin looked at his hands that were slapped away, his throat rolled, and he looked at the opposite person sincerely: "What do you have to do to believe me..."

The young man with red eyes suddenly laughed, he stretched out his hand to cover his eye sockets, and couldn't stop laughing, "Young Master Xie asked this question so I don't know how to answer... Hahaha, I don't know how to answer... "

Tears poured down the boy's face while laughing. He couldn't cover his hands, and he couldn't stop shaking. He tried his best to suppress the trembling in his voice, but it still came out uncontrollably, "I used to trust you so much, yes You tore those trusts up little by little, so cruelly, you tore them all up with your own hands, and told me to go away with a mocking face... Isn't this what Mr. Xie should say and do, but now it's like this Ask me like that... I, I don't know how to answer..."

Looking at him, Xie Lin felt that his heart was tightly curled into a ball, as if he had been punched hard by a strong man, and he felt cold because of the pain.He walked forward and hugged the boy again, calming his out-of-control emotions little by little, "Stop laughing...don't laugh if you don't want to laugh..."

The boy didn't reject his embrace this time, but pressed his whole body into his embrace powerlessly, but he still said ruthless words, "Why don't I laugh, God loves Gu, First, I gave Gu a good reputation, and then with this reputation, I let my subordinates marry a relative... What a bargain, who else in the world can be as lucky as me, who can marry a family with an unbearable reputation? A beauty..."

Xie Lin's voice was choked up, and he followed his back while kissing the teardrops on his face, "Stop talking..."

The young man whimpered in his arms, "Yes, I shouldn't have said it... I should be bored after picking up such a big bargain, and I'm going to be happy after closing the door by myself... I shouldn't have said it..."

Xie Lin held his face and kissed him bit by bit, feeling the slight trembling of the person in his arms, "If you hate me and hate me, then you can hate me as you please. You don't have to hurt yourself like this, just scold me and beat me , you don’t have to suppress yourself like this. After all, I betrayed you, I used you. It’s not your fault, it’s the fault of a greedy and ruthless person like me, not you... Don’t blame yourself for everything... "

At this moment, all the resentment between the two has been broken through in this study, and without bothering to maintain the superficial peace, Meng Yile allowed the other party to kiss him for a while before calming down, indifferent Said: "Such a transaction, Mr. Xie is satisfied, shouldn't it be time to tell the truth?"

Xie Lin's movement of kissing him suddenly stopped, the hand holding his cheek froze, the temperature gradually dissipated, he asked softly as if not sure: "What did you mean just now?"

These few words were spoken too slowly and with difficulty, which made Meng Yile almost believe that he was in pain and regretful, but felt a strange sense of refreshment in his heart—so this person would also be in pain. , It turns out that he can also regret the things he has done, which is great, let him suffer, let him regret.

But no matter how painful and regretful, so what, the timing is wrong, it has already passed, and if you can't come back, you won't come back.

Meng Yile said in a cold voice: "Why, Mr. Xie's entanglement for so many days, isn't it because of this thing that can't be put on the table? You are in an important position in the court, so few people know about that special preference, right? It's not easy to find a man who is willing to be suppressed by you, and you despise a man who is in a romantic place, so you thought of the abandoned Gu Mou?"

"You think so?"

"Am I thinking wrong?" Meng Yile broke away from him, took two steps back, and started to loosen the shackles on his body bit by bit. The outer robe, middle coat, and inner garment were peeled off layer by layer, revealing the beauty body shape.

The skin was exposed to the cool air, and he couldn't help shivering a little, but the young man smiled and raised his eyes to look at him, "After the transaction is completed, I just hope that Mr. Xie will settle the money and goods, and don't prevaricate me with those irrelevant words." gone."

Even though she had such a beautiful smile, her voice was as cold as a weapon.
