marry a weak waist

Gradually, the spring light is all over the place, red and tender, and the wind is soft, and it blows to the Peach Garden.At this time, the catkins are preparing to sweep across the city, knotting on the trees, like a spider's web on the corner of the eaves, catching a few flying flowers.

Meng Yu looked up at a small spider under the corner of the eaves by the window, and complained coldly, "What do these people eat? Didn't you see all these spider webs under the corridor?"

Caiyi looked up from the window, "Let me tell you about them. Can you cook here?"

"Put it on."

Caiyi followed her instructions and went out to give orders. Mengyu, dressed in a light blue dress, went to the bed and hung the silver frost-colored gauze curtain on the moon hook.

Meng Yu returned home from Tai'an Prefecture.In the first two days, I went to Zhang Mi's mansion to discuss business, so I had to stay at home for a while.Due to the exhaustion of traveling and traveling for several days, I slept for a longer time, and I am still sleeping peacefully at this moment.

She stared at him for a while, then Yiyi fell on the edge of the bed and shook him, "Get up and eat."

"Huh?" Meng Yu opened her eyes drowsily, seeing everything was a little blurry, the gauze curtains were rolled up, and the fragrant brocade was painted on the screen, shining the person in her heart in front of her eyes.Meng Yuan's outline gradually became clearer, and he smiled, "You got up so early?"

"It's still early? It's past time." Mengyu raised his eyebrows and patted him with a fan, "Hurry up and have lunch."

"Really?" Meng Yu stood up and saw that the sun was already in the middle of the window.He stretched his waist so comfortably, "I still sleep comfortably in the bed at home."

Meng Tiao got up and called the girl to come in and wait for him to wash, and went outside to wait for him to eat.On the table were some household items, and Meng Tiao deliberately asked someone to add some fresh spring bamboo shoots, the two of them sat next to each other and ate.

During this period, she asked about Tai'an Prefecture. Meng Yu drank a few cups of peach blossom wine, her eyelids were reddish, and she looked good, with a very cheerful attitude, "As soon as the three hundred rock salts arrive in Tai'an Prefecture, they will end up with silver. The trip is not in vain, even the sale of [-] shi at the end of the year has been agreed, and we only have to wait a few months to sign the contract."

Calculated in secret, it adds up to hundreds of thousands of income!Meng Tiao was naturally also happy, and rarely graciously sifted the wine for him, "Once the money arrives, you can offer it here in Beijing, maybe the chief secretary will really have a place for you, a good thing!"

"If it wasn't for this matter, why should I take this risk under Dong Mo's eyes?" Meng Yu put down her cup, a little worried, "Dong Mo's grandfather and Master Chu are fighting in the cabinet, and Qin Xun's resignation is uncertain. I'm going to ask him to take over the post of political secretary. I don't know if my money will be useful."

Speaking of Dong Mo, Mengyu was silent for a moment. If it was the past, he would naturally belittle others to comfort him.But now he just smiled lightly, "Even if it doesn't work this time, it can work in other places. Even if Dong Mo takes this job, who will take his job?"

Meng Yusi also made the same reasoning, widened her eyebrows and smiled, stretched out her arms to hold a bowl of soup for her, and put the bowl back in front of her without raising her eyes, "Speaking of him, you still haven't seen him these days when I'm not here. he?"

I don't know if he meant to urge or stop.Mengyu wasn't sure, so he just said, "He just thinks I'm still in my hometown in Wuxi."

Speaking of Dong Mo, she couldn't help but think of Yinlian in her heart. If in the past she and Meng Yu were looking at the moon in the water, then now, these two people are making waves in the water, blurring the moon a bit.

Meng Tiao felt a little unhappy in his heart, lazily put down his chopsticks and got up.She wanted to get away from the little throbbing she felt towards Dong Mo and return to her old days.But there were more people in the original days, and there were always some changes.

Meng Yu put down the bowl and followed her, "Are you full?"

She didn't answer, she sat on the couch and asked the girl to bring some tea to rinse her mouth.Outside the window, the sun is shrouded in light, and the birds are singing and the swallows are choking, arousing new worries and pressing old eyebrows.

Mengyu wiped his mouth, waved the girl out, and ate tea on the couch with his legs crossed. Qiao Zuo casually mentioned, "You have been back for three days, and the first two days were only concerned with business. When you came back yesterday, you were also dealing with the accounts and reading the contract. , fell asleep at night, and haven't seen the bride yet."

"Oh, I've been busy all this time, so I forgot." Meng Yu just remembered Yinlian and smiled, "Is she still used to living at home? Is there anything that annoys you?"

"How do I know if she can't get used to her? This should be a considerate matter for you as a husband. You can ask her yourself." Meng Tiao sneered, and then slowly flattened the corners of her mouth, "I was just about to discuss with you. One thing. Auntie is yours, so it is right to take her home. But what is the matter with her sister Yulian living in our house? We can’t raise a young lady for nothing, right? I think you choose a servant in the yamen , it would be better to marry her off."

Meng Yu rinsed her mouth, then moved to the couch to drink tea, "That's not bad. I promised her to take care of her sister's house, but I never had time."

Meng Tiao wiped the edge of the teacup lightly with a handkerchief, raised a pair of indifferent smiling eyes, "In our family, everyone has their own errands, and there has never been a single idler. Mei Qing is about to leave the cabinet , no one has come on top yet. You, Aunt Yinlian, look good to me, what do you think?"

The sudden question made Meng Yu speechless, and he didn't know whether he was busy recently or something else, he had never thought of this.Now that I think about it, Yinlian's delicate appearance jumps up in front of my eyes, no matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like she can do things in front of those dignitaries.

In the silence, Mengyuan stared at him with sharp eyes and a smile, as if she wanted to dig into his heart to find some clues, "Okay, please say something."

He finally smiled indifferently, leaning half of his body on the window sill, "You can figure it out, you have always worried about this kind of thing, why ask me."

In an instant, Meng Yuan smiled like a spring, and brought his teacup to his face to refill tea and water, "After all, it's your man, I always asked you what you mean. Then you listen to me, and first decide on her sister's marriage. , send them away as soon as possible."

Speaking of this episode, she turned cold again, "I don't like her girl, she's just blah, quarreling so much that it hurts people's brains. The day before yesterday, she even quarreled with Caiyi, which made Caiyi cry. If it wasn't for Seeing that she just came home, and she is an outsider after all, see if I don't peel her skin."

Meng Yu hadn't seen her for a long time and she became ruthless. When she became ruthless, she was like a night cat stepping on the beam, arrogant and stern, with menace in her gentle voice, and she was about to lash out at people with her paws.It makes people feel cute, but also a little timid.

In order to coax her, Meng Yu leaned over, held her with one hand and rubbed it lightly, "Her girl is a bit tricky, but she is just a little clever." He said to the outside of the screen and told the little girl to call Caiyi.

After a while, the colorful clothes came in, and Meng Yu asked the little girl to tell the officials to give her 50 taels of silver, and then cut two other good clothes to wear.

Caiyi looked at Mengtiao blindfolded, and Mengtiao smiled at her, "Your master heard that you were offended, so he will compensate you, why don't you ask the housekeeper for something?"

Caiyi smiled in an instant, thanked her, and went out happily.Meng Yu watched her disappear, and turned back with a smile, "This girl has been spoiled by you, she is so stupid, she will marry someone later, and she just waits to be bullied by her husband's family."

Meng Tiao rolled his eyes, "I'll see who dares."

The days seemed to be at the same pace as before. They were wading through the damp and muddy road, carrying a vicious force, and they might stumble with every step, and they walked unsteadily.

But there is infinite security in my heart. At worst, I will use people as stepping stones and walk on other people's bones. I am used to walking at night anyway.

However, more mysteriously, with a calculation, Meng Yuan seemed to strengthen her formerly cold heart, drive away the softness that invaded her heart a few days ago, and build a new solid line of defense.

She felt that she was far away from the dream of being invincible and indestructible again, but she regained a little confidence to face Dong Mo again.

This delay is already in the middle of April, when the pink sunflowers are spinning, listening to the Yingtian lazy, and the cicadas are light when they are light, arousing a melancholy.Meng Tiao first said that he would come back in March, but Dong Mo hadn't seen anyone after waiting for such a long time. At first he was worried that the road would be difficult, so he asked the yamen, and the guard who often ran said that although the road was a bit muddy, it was smooth. .

He thought about other reasons, natural disasters and man-made disasters all over again, but after much deliberation, those piles of reasons were nothing more than a vague suspicion that was flustered to hide—Meng Yao would never come back.

This is very possible. She has been married before, and it is always difficult for people to put aside the old relationship. Even if it is just an idle case, covered with dust, they will not casually glance at it.What's more, their "new love" didn't go through much tempering. What he provided her was, after all, just a little bit of good in life.

And pain is often deeper than pleasure, especially for a woman, pain is a fascinating vortex.Or, she just didn't want to lie to him again, so she didn't come back.Either way, he was half happy and half hurt.

He crumpled up the family letter he had just finished writing and threw it into a green incense burner on the desk.The smoke hole on the furnace cover instantly released choking smoke.He felt a little regretful with his rationality behind him, and wanted to pick it up, regretting that half of the note was left, and a black gap was spreading rapidly, swallowing the other half.

The smoke faded, and the quiet sandalwood was lingering again, and the paper that recorded his little impulse turned to ashes.The spring breeze is still soft, the green shade is still there, Xie Chun is doing her work with her neck bowed in the small hall opposite.At the case, his expression was normal, but his heart was going through a winter frost, no one knew.

In the evening, Dong Mo took the key to Xiaochanhua Lane and walked slowly through Fushun Street.When I went to the alley, I almost gave up hope. I just wanted to put the key back and never come back again.

But under the courtyard wall, someone suddenly heard someone saying: "There is no dust, but just get water from the well and wipe it off."

Dong Mo raised his head in astonishment, the grape leaves protruding from the wall rustled, and the wall was covered with golden broken light.The wind blows light laughter into the cuffs of his round-neck robe. It seems that a bush of calamus has grown in the sleeves, listening to the stream and dreaming.

On the way to the hospital, I saw the two sisters busy. Meng Tiao stood with his back in the shade of the locust tree, wearing a lake-green skirt with a peacock blue skirt half-covered underneath, directing the colorful clothes, "Take a broom and sweep the cornices, Weave the spider's web carefully."

Caiyi came out of the main room with a basin of water and splashed it head-on at Mengyu's feet. She was so angry that she grabbed her skirt and jumped and scolded: "Damn girl! Where are you pouring it, eyes grow to the back of the head?"

Caiyi pouted and raised her eyebrows, her eyes flickered, and she gradually laughed, "Brother Ping!"

When Li Yun first returned, Meng Yuan suddenly didn't dare to turn around, as if he was a bit timid because of his closeness to his hometown.No matter how ambitious he was when he came, it was for the early planning, even though he made a decision, he still wanted to form an alliance with Meng Yuyong.How did she know that it was just a trick played by emotion to deceive reason.

The wind is lingering, teasing her blue skirt, and when she turns around, she sees Dong Mo slacking loosely at the head of the grape trellis, holding a pair of arms, the mottled light in the leaves is shining on her face, and a little distant light is reflected in her eyes. The setting sun of the day.

It has been a long time since I disappeared, Meng Tiao was a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes twice, his skirt twisted up and down twice, and then swung lightly, swinging in front of him, "I also said that I will go to the garden at noon tomorrow to tell you Woolen cloth."

"Tell me what?" Dong Mo looked at her with a bit of a forbearing smile.He had just decided to give up on her when she suddenly appeared again.There was a trance of fear in his heart.

Seeing that he was not as happy as she imagined, Mengyu became a little unhappy, "I told you that I'm back in Jinan." She put her eyes aside, also in a calm manner, "It seems that you don't really want to know."

Dong Mosong lowered his hands, stood straight and looked at her for a while, then dragged her a step under the grape arbor, twisted his face tightly, as if he wanted to kiss her, but failed.Only in the distance of about to kiss, the hot breath is hanging in the air.

Meng Tiao suddenly tensed up, and trembled all over again.But she immediately thought that this time she really came to lie to him with peace of mind, and there was nothing to be afraid of.In this way, the bone was relaxed, but it was too loose, and Susu couldn't stand still.

Dong Mo smelled the fragrance of her hair, which smelled of roses. He lowered his eyes a little, and could see her half-covered peacock blue tube top, wrapped in a bit of exquisite silhouette, neither high nor low, like a handful of warm water pockets in the palm of your hand.

He looked at her for a while, then straightened up knowingly, and then stared at her upright.She also looked up close, and for a moment both of them laughed.

Taking a quick look, Caiyi was holding a water basin and looking towards the side of the well. Dong Mo pulled a grape leaf with one hand, covered the gap behind Mengyu, put his arm around her waist, and swept her into his arms. "When did you arrive?"

Meng Tiao was still a little unsteady on his feet, and fell forward a small half step. He grabbed the cloth under his arms with both hands as if refusing to greet him, a pair of watery eyes appeared on his shoulders, and he replied in a daze, "Noon It arrived at noon, and we are tidying up."

The voice sounded a little aggrieved, and it floated down continuously.Dong Mo smiled, and suddenly stopped talking.Mengyu waited for a while, then withdrew from her arms a little, "I brought you something from Wuxi, I'll bring it to you in the house."

It is a Zhongding purple sand teapot, not a famous product, nor fine.Dong Motuo looked at it in his palm, and Meng Tiao was on the sidelines, saying, "Okay, I can't afford it, even if I bought it at a stall, it's also a Yixing product. If you don't like it, just throw it away."

Dong Mo gently placed it on the table, turned it to the couch and sat down, "I'll use this pot of tea to eat."

"You order people again..." Mengyu complained, turned around to ask Caiyi to boil water, and went to turn over the tea pots at home, his movements were like clouds, and he was happy and brisk, "You changed the bed in my bedroom?"

"do you like it?"

"The color of the tent is not good, it is not resistant to dirt, and it is delicate."

These remarks were as expected by Dong Mo, he leaned on the Kang table and smiled, "You think you are not delicate?"

"Where am I coquettish? If I want to be coquettish, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anymore." Speaking Mengyu turned around, pouted her mouth slightly, without any self-knowledge.

Dong Mo didn't refute, just smiled silently.After a while, Yan leaned against the window that had been replaced with Mingwa, and propped up his knees, "Is the house okay?"

Meng Yu came to sit with a pot, and a set of lies seemed to be true, "I went back to live in my father's cousin's house. Although their family is not rich, there are two empty rooms, but there are many brothers and sisters. , It was very noisy. My parents’ graves were washed away by the rain, and I spent some money on the money you gave me to hire someone to build a new one. I don’t know if I’ll go back next year and see if it’s safe.”

Dong Mo nodded his jaw, pursed his lips, and glanced at her, "What else?"

She still opened her mouth and came, "I went to see my aunt. She is still strong and strong, and she can help plant seedlings in the field. I saw that her family is really not good, so I gave her ten taels of silver." Speaking of this episode, she raised Ye Ye's eyes, "Hey, it's all from your 100 taels, don't you blame it?"

Dong Mo shook his head slowly, and asked again: "What else?" He just wanted to find out some old dreams from her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Mengyuan didn't take it seriously, "Where is there anything else? I have only these two relatives. I want to ask you, how is Xiechun? are you done."

"I don't know. You can ask her tomorrow."

Now Caiyi came in with a new copper pot, and filled the purple sand pot with a smile, "Sister, look, this pot is also new."

Meng Yu glanced at it, and raised his eyes to Dong Mo's face, "You also changed this, right? The one in front of me is clearly still usable."

Dong Mo looked at her through the thick water smoke, remembered the family letter that had been burnt to ashes the next morning, and calmly replied, "If you want to change it, you can replace it with a new one. I even asked someone to change every dish. Did you see it?"

"The old one is still in good shape, what are you spending the money for?" Meng Tiao complained, looking at a bunch of peach blossoms on the case, and a thin bluish-white glazed plum vase underneath.Her eyes lit up, and she gently stretched Caiyi's waist away, "You didn't plant that flower, did you?"

"Where did I expect such meticulousness? Xie Chun led the maid to exchange."

There was nothing to be seen in the words, so Dong Mo had no choice but to see some clues from her eyebrows.But she saw crows piled up on her temples, her face was apricot-colored, and she was a little plumper than when she left.She seemed to be at ease again in the old days.

He felt both a little relieved and a little sad, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

Meng Yao poured tea and put a cup in front of him, "Are you eating here? It's too late to buy vegetables now. There is a Tianjin Wei restaurant on the street. If you get used to eating, go to his house to buy some ready-made food." It's ready."

Dong Mo didn't respond in silence, Meng Yuan squinted his eyes and guessed for a while, then sent the colorful clothes to buy.When there was no one in the courtyard, Meng Yu knelt up with his hands on his hands, and was about to kiss him, but changed his mind on the way, and pinched something on his head with two fingers, "Look at you, it doesn't matter if a leaf falls on your head." Know."

However, there was nothing in his hand, and he rubbed it against the edge of the couch.Dong Mo raised his head, and smiled with his eyebrows pressed together, "Where did the leaves come from?"

Meng Yuan still propped her wrists on the kang table, proudly raised her chin, "Just because you conjure a grain of rice out of thin air, why don't I make up a leaf out of thin air?"

That appearance, like Zhi Yanmei Li Xiangxue, catches the eyes of tourists.Dong Mo suddenly burst into an impulse, she was vivid and lively, the intricate black bun, the white skin on the neck, jumped in his heart inch by inch, like the sound of clappers in the night, beating more intensively , forcing his lonely blood to rush up, which couldn't be calmed down for a while.

He simply pressed down on her neck, and kissed that eloquent mouth with great vigor, and even the slightest bit of sourness was left behind, and he couldn't care about it for the time being.

Meng Tiao knocked out his teeth for him, and wanted to bite back hard!With a movement of his lips, he let her go, and stepped back a little, smiling provocatively.

Meng Yao didn't know what he was proud of, so he slumped back and sat down, only to realize that his face was slightly hot, presumably it was red, and there must be some shameful girlish embarrassment!She simply made her look down on herself!So Youyou glared at him resentfully.

Dong Mo even raised his hand shamelessly, scratched the rouge on his lower lip with his index finger, handed it under her eyelids, and smiled leisurely, "I don't put on women's things, so I'll give it back to you."

Ming Mengyu didn't know how to pick it up, but he didn't want to lose the wind, so he pretended to be calm and searched for the handkerchief, and held up his finger to wipe it.

The rouge she put on today is a light pink, with a heavy oily sheen. It was dyed on his pale hands, shiny and moist, with a little dark powder, as if she had just come from a wet, cramped place. place to drill out.

Meng Tiao rubbed it on, suddenly raised her eyebrows vigilantly, and met his mischievous eyes, with a teasing smile hanging from the corner of her mouth.Meng Yao blushed with embarrassment, and threw away his hand, "Wipe it off yourself!"

Dong Mo frowned on purpose, took a look and withdrew his hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped it carelessly twice.Just when he heard Caiyi's footsteps, his expression became upright again.

After dinner was set up, the three of them ate on the newly installed round table, and the sky was about to fall, like a faint blue cluster of fire.

The hustle and bustle in the alleys is changing, clamoring for those who want to wash their feet, those who want to sleep, and those who want to put things away... Poor people always go to bed early to save lamp oil.It was time for Dong Mo to go back to Qingyu Garden. Mengtiao lit a paper lantern and sent him to the gate, holding it up to take a photo in the alley, and he could not see the end of it.

She handed the lamp to Dong Mo's hands, her chest was full of emotions, but in the end she only said, "Be careful on the road."

Dong Mo suddenly laughed, with the lantern dimly reflecting on his face, as if he was a little bit embarrassed, "Sometimes you... seem like two people."

"how to say?"

"Sometimes like a little girl who has never experienced the world, and sometimes like an old woman who has gone through vicissitudes."

Meng Tiao was a little surprised in his heart, but joked in his mouth, "You are also like two people, sometimes you are an adult with a big heart, and sometimes you are a dumb young man."

He didn't refute at all, and smiled while holding the lamp, "It's the first time someone has commented on me like that...but I think you're right."

Having said that, Dong Mo raised the lamp and left. Looking back from afar, only a blurred outline of Mengyao was left embedded in the dark door, and a half-moon illuminated desolately on the courtyard wall, just like Mengyao, half of which always made him discouraged. Half of it burned with his little enthusiasm.

He wandered between the two, feeling at a loss.In the blink of an eye, I thought of a common saying, "Everything is only half-satisfactory."At any rate, because of meeting her, half of his life was finally fulfilled.

Meng Tiao knew that because he loved her, he became more and more adept at deceiving himself.

After he left, Meng Yuan's joy also cooled down, as if nothing happened, he waited at the door, waiting for the Meng family's carriage after a while.

There seemed to be individual visitors on the gate of the mansion, seven or eight carriages were waiting, more than a dozen lanterns were floating, and everyone bowed and saluted politely, singing countless obedient words.Meng Tiao was too lazy to deal with it, and ordered to go in through the corner door.

The corner door opened in the alley, and one entered into a small garden, under the moonlight, one could barely see the messy shadows of trees and rocks.Walking a few steps in, I heard someone talking in a trance, Meng Tiao stopped, and found a Taihu stone to hide.

Not far away from the stone, the old lady was lighting a lonely lamp, and it was rare to see a girl by her side.What's even more rare is that she is dressed in an extremely simple and elegant manner. When she is about to go to bed, she doesn't wear any hairpins, but only wears a black double-breasted gown with an indigo Suluo skirt underneath.

In front of him was a familiar face, Chang Xiucai, who seemed to have just been released from Zhangqiu Prison, with a little bruise on his face, holding the old lady's hand in silence for a long time.After a while, the old lady smiled and shoved his hand, "Good boy, go back quickly, don't come here again, so you can study."

That voice startled Mengyu, she had never heard her mother's voice like this, it was no longer lazy and charming, but dignified and gentle, like a smile with sad tears.

Whether she had tears or not, Mengyuan couldn't see.Hearing that Chang Xiucai was silent for a while and didn't let go, and then snatched the lantern from her hand, raised it up to shine on her face, and laughed suddenly, "I have nothing to fear."

The old lady threw away her hands, turned around, straightened her back, and said in a cold and anxious tone, "A good man doesn't suffer in front of his eyes! What happened to you this time? Maybe someone wants to punish you. Maybe you don't have a point in your heart? I You're just a middle-aged lady. After you become an official and become well-off, do you want any women? You're such a stupid idiot! In this world, gold, silver and power are hard to come by. Only one love word is worthless. Why are you so stubborn? "

There was still no movement, the old lady turned her ferocious eyes, "If you don't leave, I'll call a servant to beat you out! You're so shameless, you're still a scholar, what kind of dignity are you?!"

After she finished speaking, she squeezed her green eyebrows fiercely, and smashed a burden skin on the rock next to him into his chest, "It's just for a few money, the man's face is completely lost to you! Take it and get out early, so as not to waste money." It's embarrassing to tear your face!"

Watch him for a while, but he still doesn't move.The old lady simply turned her face away and walked away alone, her steps were anxious as if she was getting rid of something as soon as possible.But when he walked into the dark place, the shadow gradually slowed down again, as if he was loitering about something.

Meng Tiao hid behind the rocks for a while, only to see Chang Xiucai holding a lantern and going up to the corner gate. His tall bones seemed to have lost his soul, his back was bent, his shoulders and arms were heavily drooping, and he shed a little tears.

Hearing that the corner gate was closed, Meng Yu dared to come out, picked up the burden skin on the ground and opened it, and saw by the moonlight, there were two 50 taels of silver ingots, pressing a 100 taels of treasure note.

She touched the gleaming silver ingot, looked at both ends, and suddenly felt sad.She tied the bundle tightly again, and still rested it on the rock beside her.

Back in the room, just in time for a little girl assigned to Yinlian's room to deliver a message.Because the girl was assigned to serve Yinlian, she became more and more afraid of Meng Yuan, and stood under the lamp tremblingly, not daring to lift her head, "Madam, the master is resting in Aunt Zhang's room tonight, and asked me to pass the word, if Madam If you have something to say, just ask someone to call him."

Meng Tiao is fine, but his heart is stuffy, as if he has a lot to say.However, when sorted out, every sentence doesn't matter, and every word is not worth mentioning.

She smiled tiredly and waved her hands, "It's nothing, tell him to rest early, and I'm asleep too."

Lying on the bed but unable to fall asleep, tossing and turning still feeling something pressing on my chest.She turned over and looked out of the tent to look out the window. The moon had risen, and from this window, it shone on the desolate mountain rock, on which lay a moonlight-colored furoshiki alone.

Whoever discarded the sincerity, no one dared to pick it up easily.

The author says:

Dong Mo: Because of loving you, I began to learn to lie to myself.
