talk about wine

It's not like Meng Chuxi, no matter how uncomfortable she is, as long as she sees Zhou Qingwu, she will calm down.When she was disturbed by these memories and emotions and couldn't tell who she was, Zhou Qingwu could take her out, she was her peace of mind.

After talking with Zhou Qingwu for a while, Meng Chuxi felt much better. After tidying up the dishes, she was about to go to wash the clothes, only to find that the clothes had been washed.

Zhou Qingwu glanced guiltily at the clothes hanging above, then turned his head and walked into the house: "I'm a little thirsty, go drink some water."

Meng Chuxi laughed angrily, shook her head but didn't hold onto her.

On this day, Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu went to the mulberry garden. The business of the mulberry garden is not bad. Most of the recovered silk has already been sold, and the remaining part is still being processed.In addition, this batch of silkworms has already come out, and the consumption of mulberry leaves is quite a lot every day, which is quite busy.

During the period, Meng Chuxi sent people to visit several times, and only said that Meng Xianting was fine, which made her feel a little relieved.

Weather at the end of July.Although it is generally said that it is hot in July, the weather today is still very hot. This era is not as good as the modern air-conditioning fans. The only thing that can bring coolness is the hand-cranked cattail fan.

However, after the sweltering summer last year, this year Meng Chuxi made preparations early in the morning. A bamboo couch and a summer mat came in handy at home. The yard was specially treated. After pasting pebbles, it was tidy and clean. Sitting on the mat, lying on the mat, enjoying the cool evening breeze outside, it is very leisurely.

The bamboo couch was not big, and Zhou Nian'an was lying on it alone, while Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu were lying side by side on the mat.Zhou Qingwu held the cattail fan in his hand and fanned it again and again.

There is a faint smell of mugwort in the yard, which dispels the mosquitoes in summer nights, so you don't have to worry about mosquitoes when you sleep outside.

The chirping of grasshoppers and frogs came one after another in my ears. This kind of natural sound made the summer night more comfortable.

The three of them lay down without talking, just looking at the sky at night. It was a sunny day, so tonight the sky was full of stars, and the Milky Way was dotted like a white ribbon across the sky, which was dazzlingly beautiful.

After a long while, Meng Chuxi stretched out her hand and made a comparison in the air: "When I was young, my favorite thing to do in summer was to enjoy the cool outside and look at the endless starry sky. Gradually, you will feel that you are in that vast and boundless world. There is a very special peace in my heart, as if everything will be annihilated by that vastness. If you don’t do anything, you can watch it for an hour or two.”

Zhou Qingwu's eyes were a little blurred. Hearing Meng Chuxi's words, he said softly: "Yes, everything is insignificant compared with this starry sky. I would look at them when I was alone in those years. They will become stars. Looking at the people they care about, after my parents are gone, I think, how can there be so many people who leave in this world. There are too many, and I can’t find which two they will be. Thinking of this, I will feel very lonely again, and I feel that I am so small that no one will care." The loneliness and sadness engraved in my bones have a feeling of being in the world, but my eyes still feel a little hot when I think about it.

Meng Chuxi felt pain in her heart when she heard it, and turned to look at her holding her hand: "You are not the only one now, there are me and Nian'an."

Zhou Nian'an responded crisply, and also said: "I can't remember many things in the past, but I always remember that on the grassland at night, the sky is very beautiful when the stars are full, but I still like it now."

Meng Chuxi smiled lightly: "It will be like this in the future, Qingwu will not be alone, Nian'an will not be alone, and so will I."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the starry sky above her head, and all the adults and children around her looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"Later, when I grew up, I never saw so many stars again. I regretted it for a long time. I didn't expect to see more beautiful things now, and..." She smiled softly, turned to look at Zhou Qingwu, in her eyes He whispered in his ear: "You are more beautiful than the stars."

Zhou Qingwu blushed, pursed his lips and smiled.Zhou Nian'an cried out in surprise: "Sister Chuxi, sister Qingwu, there are many fireflies there."

The two heard the words and looked over. On the row of trees in the yard, dots of fluorescent light began to flicker, and fireflies flew in from outside one after another like small lanterns, like stars falling from the sky.

When the wind blows, they all fly up from the bushes and trees, like a flowing galaxy, as beautiful as a dream.If the starry sky in the countryside in childhood is the most beautiful scene in one's life, then fireflies are the elves in the beautiful scenery, and their movements also light up the night.

The three members of Meng Chuxi's family enjoyed the beautiful scenery bestowed by nature on this midsummer night, while Meng Xianting sat in the room thinking all night.

It was late at night, and Zhou Nian'an was young. After being excited for a while, he caught a few fireflies and put them in the small pocket made of leaves made by Meng Chuxi for her to play with. Finally, he fell asleep on the couch.

Zhou Qingwu lay in Meng Chuxi's arms for a long time, until it felt a little chilly. Meng Chuxi touched her slightly cool hand, and said in a low voice, "Go back to sleep. It's cold in the middle of the night. Nian'an has fallen asleep."

Zhou Qingwu hummed, and the two got up and looked at Zhou Nian'an, who was lying on the bamboo couch and holding a small cage, and both laughed.The fireflies inside are wandering around, and the little fluorescent lights are flickering.

Meng Chuxi carefully brought the cage over, then opened it and let them fly away.Zhou Qingwu chuckled: "You just let them go?"

Meng Chuxi looked at the ones that fell on the tree, and said softly: "Nian'an is very sensible and won't get angry. If you don't let go, you will die tomorrow." After she finished speaking, she carefully picked up Zhou Nian'an and sent her into her arms. s room.

After putting away the bamboo mat, the two hugged each other, and fell asleep peacefully with the dim light outside the window.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a deep cry from the courtyard. Zhou Qingwu, who had already got up, stopped the call, opened the courtyard door, and looked at Meng Xianting who was leaning on crutches outside. She was slightly stunned, and then Fushen saluted: "You are here, please come in, I will call Chu Xi."

Meng Xianting nodded and stepped into this yard for the second time with Xiao Da's support.The inside is very clean. Although you can see chickens looking for food not far from the yard, there is no dirty smell.Although the two clusters of flowers on the courtyard wall have already bloomed and failed, the lush green leaves look pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Qingwu asked them to sit down and turned around to call Meng Chuxi, who happened to come out from the backyard, "Grandpa, you came here so early, you haven't had breakfast yet."

"En." Meng Xianting responded, then looked at her and motioned for her to sit down.Meng Chuxi glanced at Zhou Qingwu who entered the room, and then sat down.Looking at Meng Xianting who looked better than yesterday, she was slightly relieved.

"Chuxi, Grandpa has thought about what you said yesterday for a long time." Speaking of this, he still couldn't hide his pain, and said bitterly: "Grandpa admits that I am too stubborn, so if you really don't want to take over the Meng family , Grandpa doesn’t force you either. But, you can’t stay here, Qingzhou is your home.”

Speaking of which, Zhou Qingwu came over with tea and served them tea, put down the teacup Zhou Qingwu said softly: "I'll make breakfast, you two will use some too."

Just as Meng Chuxi was about to say something, Meng Xianting raised his hand to stop her, "Don't bother, I'll let Xiao Da buy it, let's eat together. You don't have to work, sit down and chat with the old man."

His pair of eyes looked at Zhou Qingwu, although his words were friendly, his eyes were quite stressed.

Meng Chuxi's eyes kept falling on Zhou Qingwu's body, and when he heard this, he pulled away the chair beside him: "Just as grandpa said, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Xiao."

Xiao Da had already faintly smelled that aura, knew Meng Xianting's plan, and wanted to drive him away.

Zhou Qingwu knew what was going to happen when he saw him coming. He had just told Zhou Nian'an to read a book by himself, and now there were only the three of them left in the front yard.

Meng Xianting took a slow breath, with a solemn expression, and said bluntly to the backs of the two young men: "The man who is rumored to have married you two is called Murongli, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of both of them sank, but they didn't show anything on their faces. Meng Chuxi nodded: "Yes."

"Okay, then let me ask you, is this marriage true or not?" Meng Xianting didn't expect the two of them to be so calm, and their breathing suddenly became urgent.

Meng Chuxi's expression was as usual: "Three media and six hires, it is true that I have worshiped Gaotang Tiandi."

Meng Xianting's face flushed with satisfaction and anger: "Chuxi, you can hide it from the world, but you can't hide it from me! Who is Murongli? A servant of the Wan family, a large merchant in the capital, how can he be married to you by three matches and six hires?" After less than a month of marriage, you left your new wife to go to Beijing to rush for the exam? You were seriously injured and he ignored you? Chu Xi, are you really a fool like a grandpa?"

Meng Chuxi looked a little helpless in his eyes: "So what is Grandpa trying to prove?"

Meng Xianting still had a glimmer of anticipation in his heart: "I want to know, what is the relationship between you two? Why did you and her marry the same person on purpose?"

After all, Zhou Qingwu's eyes were a little nervous. Although Meng Xianting was not Meng Chuxi's real grandfather, they had nothing to do with each other. Faced with his harsh words, Zhou Qingwu was still very worried.

Although they lived happily and contentedly, and were even more affectionate and sweet than ordinary couples, not everyone was like Wan Qingyan and Meng Chuxuan.To really expose this feeling to the world, that kind of storm and attack is absolutely unimaginable, and the subsequent attack and persecution are even more unbearable for them.

"Grandpa, my life was saved by Qingwu. During the time when I lost my memory, I made up my mind to take care of her for the rest of my life."

Meng Xianting was a little unbelievable: "So you married the same man as her, took her with you as a widow, and raised a child who had nothing to do with you? Meng Chuxi, you've lost your mind, you want to repay your favor, Taking care of her, no matter what, I will lose my life."

Meng Chuxi was very helpless: "Grandpa, am I suffering? Have I been wronged because of this decision? No. I know that in your opinion, my life seems to be ruined, but you don't know that it's because I was living in Zhou Dynasty. One of the happiest things since I came back to the village.”

Meng Xianting knocked on the ground a few times with his stick: "Fortunately? Then what are you going to do? Are you really going to be a husband and wife with that kid, or do you just want to stay with her forever!"

This was the least of his worries. From the information Xiao Da obtained from his investigation and what he felt, he always felt that the intimacy between Zhou Qingwu and his granddaughter was not good enough.

Seeing him hysterical alone, the girl looked worried, while Meng Chuxi, the person involved, remained silent, which almost confirmed his guess. He pointed at Zhou Qingwu angrily, and raised his voice a few degrees.

Meng Chuxi couldn't help but stood up and pulled Zhou Qingwu, stood in front of her, and said in a low voice, "You scared her."

Meng Xianting's face was ashen, this time he was swearing to him, his face was ashen: "You guys are absolutely absurd!"

Thinking of something, he clutched his chest and said, "You gave up the Meng family because of her, right? You told me so grandly!"

"The Meng family doesn't belong to me, and Meng Chuxi has no life to take over the Meng family!" Meng Chuxi's voice was a little cold, and Zhou Qingwu heard something wrong, so he held her and shook his head.

Meng Xianting was stunned for a moment, then sat down on the chair for a long time, pointed at her and tremblingly said: "Are you taking revenge on me? You two women, how can you survive in this world? Others can drown you with spit. You have no heirs, and you will be scolded and ridiculed for the rest of your life, no one can even tolerate you, and I will definitely not accept it!"

Meng Chuxi was afraid that he would spoil his body with anger, so even though his heart was frying, he still held back and gave him comfort: "Your body is yours, so don't spoil your body with anger. I don't want to take revenge on you, it's just what my heart wants. , I knew where I was today when I made my decision."

Meng Xianting looked at the extremely strange person in front of him. From the very beginning, it seemed that only she, the old man, was hysterical. Apart from the helplessness in her eyes, her calmness was terrifying.

He suddenly realized that what he was facing was no longer the granddaughter he remembered. Now that she was 20 years old, her mind had become extremely strong, her determination was firm, and her thinking was calm. She was definitely not a child playing around.

He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. As a businessman, he must not lose his footing at this time.

"Chuxi, if you really care about her, you should understand what a woman needs. It is the most tragic thing if you can't live a normal life, can't care for your husband and children, and can't enjoy family happiness! If you want To repay her, I am afraid that she will have a bad life. Grandpa promises you to accept her as my god-granddaughter, and I will treat her as my own. From now on, you will be called sisters, and I will personally find her a good husband, and promise her prosperity and wealth. I will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life.”

Zhou Qingwu has been very quiet by the side, but at this moment she had no choice but to say, "Master Meng, what I want is not prosperity, wealth, and food and clothing. For me, the most tragic thing is not having her, not the so-called family happiness." .I know you will find it ridiculous, and the world will find it ridiculous, and I can't argue with it. If this is a crime, I admit it.

Chuxi means more to me than anything else, not to mention the child I have never met, my husband, let you worry about it. "

"Don't want glory and wealth? Then you will let her build a mulberry garden from scratch? More than anything else, it's really good. But Miss Zhou, you are a woman! A dumb girl who can't eat without her. You say If you plead guilty, what about her, will she plead guilty with you?" Meng Xianting's complexion was ashen, and those sharp eyes were like knives at the moment, staring firmly at Zhou Qingwu.

No matter how prepared Zhou Qingwu was, these words were as sharp as a knife, piercing her heart achingly.
