Impermanent Growth Manual

What Meng Chao was wearing was not different from what she was wearing in the past, but it was more colorful. Afterwards, she sat in front of the vanity mirror and opened the makeup box to start applying makeup.

She didn't have anyone she wanted to meet, let alone dress up when she was at home.

Xie Bi'an watched her movements and fell silent for a while.

"How long ago did it happen to the Yin family?" Xie Bi'an turned his head and asked.

"Only five days." Fan Wujiu turned the mirror to Yin Xiu, who was on the horse's back with a cold face, "In five days, they have killed three horses, and they will reach the capital in two days. .”

Xie Bi'an let out a long sigh, and turned his head to watch Meng Chao press a hidden compartment from one side of the drawer, then took out a white porcelain bottle, and poured out a medicine in the palm of his hand.

"I didn't understand before, what did Meng Chao feed Meng Qing? Meng Qing is safe and sound after sleeping for so long." Xie Bi'an covered his eyes with his hand, and then let go. Meng Chao over there had already swallowed the medicine, He lay down on the bed with a smile on his face.

...It turned out to be a dead move.

Xie Bi'an sighed, and silently walked to the bedside.

"She just ordered a shadow guard to send a letter quickly." Xie Bi'an took a last look at Meng Chao, who was obviously not breathing, and turned to leave the room. "That letter should have announced her death. ...and all that happened."

Immediately, Xie Bi'an's voice stopped abruptly, the mirror image was cut off by him, and what appeared in front of him was an empty courtyard.

All the servants of the Meng family have been dismissed, so it is understandable that there is no one.

Xie Bi'an circled the courtyard twice, but there was no one there. At this moment, there was a slight knocking sound from the main hall.

He rushed over immediately - a long white silk was hung on the beam of the house, and between the long silk was the old lady of the Meng family who had been sick and bedridden for a long time, was exhausted after traveling, and was about to die.

A hanged person usually dies horribly, but Mrs. Meng probably died before going up, and dragged her lifeless body to stand on the stool again.

Xie Bi'an let out a long sigh, and tapped a few times in the air with one hand.

I would rather die than live without a dog.

When Fan Wujiu arrived, the imperial court had already sent people to put up seals on Meng's house.

There was already no one here, and the officers and soldiers just searched for a lot of gold and silver utensils to fill their private pockets, and then quickly rested and left.

"Where is Yin Xiu now?" The two discussed for a while, planning to check Yin Xiu's location first, and then Xie Bi'an went to find Meng Qing.

Fan Wujiu took Xie Bi'an's hand and summoned a cloud, "It's in a house of the Li family."

Now that the Zhan family is in power, and has the idea of ​​rebellion, the one who goes against it is the loyal Li family for generations.

Now the head of the Li family is the elder of the three dynasties, and he is already very old, but the young emperor insisted on getting up half an hour early every day to go to the court. Later, the emperor allowed him to sit in a sedan chair until the front of the palace, which was considered an extrajudicial favor.

The relationship between the Yin family and the Zhan family was on the verge of collapse, and Zhan Zhiyuan's ambitions were obvious, so there was no need to hide it, but the Yin family's meritorious deeds for generations, naturally, the Zhan family could no longer go the same way.

Yin Xiuxiu was standing under a peach blossom tree in the yard. The petals had already fallen all over his shoulders, but he remained motionless, obviously he had been standing there for a long time.

Fan Wujiu watched here, and suddenly said: "It seems that Mr. Li Jiage intends to betroth his great-granddaughter to Yin Xiu, and Yin Xiu has no intention of being unwilling."

Xie Bi'an was stunned for a moment, knowing in his heart that this was another method, then shook his head and sighed, "You can just watch him here, we can get Yin Xiu back into reincarnation only after we understand what happened before and after."

"Okay." Fan Wujiu nodded in agreement, grabbed Xie Bi'an's wrist with his backhand, pulled him into his arms and gave him a firm hug.

Meng Qing was still awake when Xie Bi'an passed by.

They are living alone in a fairy forest at the moment, there are fairy barriers everywhere, Xie Bi'an frowned when he saw it.

This is probably an enchantment set by a Sanxian who escaped from the world. Only by following a specific path can one enter here with a mortal body, but in addition to this, a certificate of entry is also required.

It should be that Meng Chao took off the bracelet that was handed to Nanny Li before leaving.

The smoke was burning inside, Xie Bi'an looked at Meng Qing's still sleeping profile, and sat on the head of the bed and took a nap for a while.

After a few days like this, Nanny Li checked again and again in the same place as the previous few days, and finally found a pigeon with a roll of letters tied to its leg.

Nanny Li couldn't read, so this letter was obviously not for her to read.

She couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow, she wiped her hands on her clothes, then went into the house, took out the bracelet that she kept close to her body from the skirt of her clothes, ground it into powder on the side, mixed it with water and gave it to Meng Qing Feed down.

Meng Qing opened her eyes just after getting a little water, feeling confused after a long sleep.

He was obviously taken aback when he saw a scene he didn't recognize at all, and then saw Li Nanny next to him, and said, "Mammy...? Where's sister? Where is this?"

Momo Li's eyes turned red, and with trembling hands, she took out the letter paper that had been crumpled by a corner, "Master, this is from Miss...to you."

Meng Qing was taken aback for a moment, then took the paper blankly and quickly read it, her face getting paler and paler.

Xie Bi'an leaned over to take a look, and found that the writing on the letter paper was pure and clear, and nothing had happened since the Meng family left Gusu until now—including Meng Chao's expectation that the Meng family would never be together again except for him. Not a single one survived.

Meng Qing's nostrils twitched twice, only to feel that her eyes were dark, her hands and feet were trembling constantly, "Sister... grandpa and grandma are all dead...?"

"Master—!" Nanny Li cried and fell limply on the ground, her voice hoarse.

Meng Qing blinked her eyes, only to realize that her face was full of tears at some point.

With a pale complexion, he supported the bedpost to stand up, his body staggered, Xie Bi'an turned his body to the side, and Meng Qing had already fallen down.

Meng Qing's body fell straight to the ground through Xie Bi'an's hands, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes that hadn't condensed into drops, and she was hugged by Nanny Li who was crying.

After all, he was just a teenager...

Xie Bi'an shook his head.

It was only two days after Meng Qing woke up again. After smelling the aroma of the rice, she ate two big bowls of rice. During the period, she shed tears while looking at the bowls and chopsticks. After drying them, she continued to shed tears. Tears finished eating the tasteless rice.

"Mommy, my sister said, I've been here waiting for a chance since I woke up..." Meng Qing looked at Mammy Li's gray hair, and her eyes became hot again, "What did my sister ask me to wait for?" Woolen cloth……"

Nanny Li is just a woman in the backyard. It was already a great move to bring Meng Qing all the way west from the capital to this place, but she didn't know what to say when she heard the words.

Meng Qing also just talked, and after she finished speaking, she took a break and picked a leaf with lowered eyes.

Here Meng Qing has nothing to do every day except the books in the study, while Yin Xiu over there hangs the beam to study hard every day, and finally successfully entered the palace examination.

It is not rare for a 16-year-old number one scholar, but it is rare that Yin Xiu is the first person in the provincial and general examinations, and he was appointed the number one scholar in the palace examination by the emperor, and was directly accepted by Mr. Li Ge.

In the next two short years, first the Yellow River pacified the floods, and then Li Ge's old line eradicated the treacherous courtiers and rebels. Then, the emperor passed away and a new emperor came to power.

Xie Bi'an knew these things a long time ago, but this famous number one scholar accidentally lost his eyes on the day he returned to court, and then asked to resign and return to Gusu.

Li Ge always cared about his lover, so he betrothed to him the young lady of the Li family who had already decided on a marriage, and personally sent him out of the capital with a hundred loads of dowry.

It was a long time later when Meng Qing heard the news.

He waited in that place for two years but did not get the chance that Aunt Sister said. In the end, Nanny Li couldn't bear the hardships in the mountains. Buried in Gusu.

Meng Qing couldn't refuse the nanny who had raised her elder sister and herself since she was a child, so she packed up her simple luggage and left that place holding Nanny Li's ashes.

Xie Bi'an looked back for the last time, the mountain hut was still there, and there was still lingering smoke in the room where the food had just been cooked. On the small square table in the room was a letter that Meng Qing pressed under the teacup before leaving.

It was only after Meng Qing went out that he realized that the mountain was actually only a short distance from Gusu. He was lucky enough to run into an ox cart at the foot of the mountain, took out two copper coins and jumped up happily.

"Young boy is going to Gusu to find relatives? Why did you go on this road? There are many beasts here." The driver was a man with a big beard, showing his chest in summer, and Bursts of sweat.

Meng Qing smiled shyly. During the two years, he became more and more silent. Hearing the words, he just said: "It's just going to the city to find a relative..."

"Oh." The big man stopped talking, and walked to the city gate in silence. Meng Qing got out of the car and stared blankly at the city gate that hadn't changed much.

A lot of things happened in two years, when Fan Wujiu appeared beside Xie Bian, Xie Bian was still watching Hawkeye from left to right, and was startled by him without realizing it.

There was a triumphant smile on Fan Wujiu's face, he stood beside Xie Bi'an, "Chang'an, there are only two months left before Yin Xiu's death, we can go out from here soon."

Because of the identities of Meng Qing and Meng Chao, Xie Bi'an discussed with Fan Wujiu, and only a part of unimportant memories were omitted from the beginning to the end. Even so, a long time has passed.

The wheel mirror is no better than others, but I still feel the time. This kind of work has always been the most tiring.

Rao Xie Bi'an heard it, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and said: "Okay."
