marry a weak waist

In a moment of panic, Meng Tiao fled back home in a hurry, not caring about anything, hurried back to the room, threw herself into the tent, and pulled the quilt to cover her trembling body.

After half a day, I felt warmer, got up just now, and turned my eyes to Caiyi, "Just now, in front of the gate of Qingyu Garden, did you see Zhang Ping?"

"Yes, I saw it." Caiyi turned over the charcoal basin, very calm.

"He saw me too?"

"In such a bright place, the two of you standing face to face, naturally you can see it."

For a moment, Meng Tiao was at a loss, his eyes had nowhere to turn, and finally he glanced at the ground, "Why did he come back to Jinan? Isn't he in Beijing? He ordered the governor? Why didn't I know anything about it?"

"You ask him to go, I don't know." Caiyi giggled twice, the voice could be heard in Mengtian, like a sparrow flying from somewhere, with a beautiful spring and beautiful feathers, chirping. Meng Tiao fluttered his wings in front of him.

"You want to know, what are you running for? Maybe Brother Ping is going to eat you up. Seeing how you were on the street just now, you can't wait to shrink back into your shell like a turtle. No one said anything. , you lost your mind first. Don't you feel any pain when your head hits the sedan chair?"

Meng Tiao put his hand on his forehead and felt the pain, then rushed to the dressing table in a panic, and sure enough, there was a red spot on his forehead.She let out a hissing breath, found a box of ointment and applied it on.

While applying the medicine, he gradually straightened his thoughts, "Think about it, why did he return to Beijing the year before last? It was because I harmed him that he was called back by the emperor. He hates me for some reason, I don't know. Run, stay there and beat him?"

"Brother Ping doesn't hit women."

"How do you know?" Meng Yu glanced sideways, turned back to the mirror for a moment, and muttered endlessly, "It's the same as not hating it very much, but hating it very much. The old lady had a good friend back then. When she was good, she was good." Afterwards, he found out that she was lying to him, so he gave her a good beating."

Saying that, Mengyuan's heart gradually calmed down.Her mind was too chaotic, the unexpected reunion was like a fire starter, blasting her into the air like fireworks, and she was flustered with joy for a moment.However, those blooming sparks gradually turned into fly ash at this moment, slowly scattered in the dark night.Everything calmly fell silent, and worries surfaced.

She lied to Dong Mo so hard, let alone Dong Mo, even she couldn't forgive herself.After applying the medicine, she walked slowly to the couch to warm up by the fire, and the aftertaste of joy turned into a faint bang, "He is really capable. He was recalled back. Not only was he not punished, but he became the appointed governor. Thanks to my accident The incident did not implicate his official career, otherwise, even if I die, I cannot escape the blame."

Cai Yidai wanted to persuade her, but she was telling the truth and there was nothing to persuade her, so he had to pack a cigarette and hand it to her.Meng Yao smoked a cigarette and blamed herself in her heart, and couldn't help thinking of her own changes this year——

The people below saw her afraid to show her anger, Yinlian was afraid of winking in front of her because of her pregnancy, so she often hid in the room and did not come out to move around.Her mother also moved to live with Mei Qing.Mei Qing, a sister who grew up in the same family, didn't deal with it either.

It seems that she is an uncertain ghost, oppressing these people, making everyone breathless, and there is no joy around her, and she herself is not necessarily happy.Calculating in this way, she felt that she was more like a resentful woman than before, no different from those ghostly women in the deep house.She immediately thought that such a woman would be the least attractive to men, and she felt even more ashamed to go to see Dong Mo.

At this time, it began to rain just outside the eaves, and it was already spring rain. It was thin, and there was a clump of smoke, which was filled with sorrow, depression, and resentment.Among the rocks and weeds, the weedy crabapple sluggishly bloomed a few bones, and the sporadic light pink dotted the gloomy sky.

The so-called unforeseen events are often unexpected.

Two days after the New Year's Eve, Dong Mo ordered Meng Yu to go to Yanzhou to collect taxes. Meng Yu really did not expect this move.

The officials in Yanzhou were very alert, they heard early in the morning that the next year's tax money would be collected in a hurry, and they spread out the stalls early on, but now that they were all collected, Dong Mo was worried, so he asked Meng Yu to go to the local area to check and clear the amount in person and bring it to Jinan.

Meng Yu thought that Dong Mo wanted to dismiss him on purpose, and declined with a smile in the inner hall, "Forgive me, my lord, I also have some official duties that I can't get away from. I think it's better to send Jia to participate in politics. He has been to Yanzhou twice before. They are more familiar than me, and many things are cheaper than me."

Dong Mo threw down the official documents in his hand, clasped his hands in front of his stomach, and slumped on the grand master's chair, "It's difficult to handle money matters only if you are familiar with it. These tax money are used for war operations, and no mistakes can be made. I know very well that the people in these places lose a few pennies for every hand. When Jia went to participate in politics, because he was familiar with these people, it would be hard to put his face down. Mr. Meng went, and there was no need to care about worldly sophistication."

After all, he was a hand-picked governor, Meng Yu couldn't shirk it, so he had to obey.Unexpectedly, on the third night of going to Yanzhou, Yinlian suffered from upper abdominal pain and was afraid of giving birth.

In the middle of the night, the mansion was in chaos for a while, and the head of Mengyu's family had to get up from the bed to deal with it.Now I invite the fixed lady Wen to come in, and I also order someone to invite the gynecologist who sees Yinlian on weekdays.

The servant went there for half an hour, but came back and forth, "Dr. Jiao was invited away, he is not at home!"

Meng Tiao was sitting on the couch in the Yinlian Room. Since she got up on the bed, she didn't pretend to be black, but just tied her hair in a bun behind her head, and said to the boy, "Things without brains, they don't know how to invite you." Another doctor?"

The boy hurriedly ran out again.Only then did Yinlian start to feel pain, and she curled up on the bunk, sweating profusely.Mengyu went to see her in front of the bed, asked Mrs. Wen a few words, ordered a few more charcoal pots to be kept in the room, sat on the edge of the bed and asked Yinlian: "Do you want it?"

Yinlian smiled and grabbed her hand, "It doesn't matter, it just hurts a little. Madame, when will the master come back?"

"It will take about a month for him to go to Yanzhou." Meng Tiao held her hand to comfort her, "Don't think about him right now, it's important to think about children, listen to mothers."

Yin Lian leaned on the pillow, smiling with sweat dripping with weak attachment, "Then he won't be able to see the baby until it's full moon. I still want him to be the first to hug the baby."

The fire was burning around the bed, and the clear light was reflected on the face of the anemone, in the eyes.In Meng Tiao's heart, she really sighed, because she was in such pain, no one would be able to think of it, only herself.She smiled softly, brushing away the messy hair on Yin Lian's face with her hands, "He is a father, he will be hugged sooner or later, he won't run away, don't worry."

Yinlian looked up, with tears in her eyes, "Madam, I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry for what?" Meng Tiao asked, and couldn't help but check in his heart. The more he counted, the more relieved he was, and he smiled back, "You have nothing to do with me, and you don't owe me anything. Listen to the mothers, Stop talking and save some energy."

After a while, the servant ran back out of breath and reported, "Several well-known gynecologists have gone out to see the doctor. I don't know the others, and many of them are asleep, and I can't even shout!"

Meng Yu couldn't help frowning, "It's the middle of the night, some woman has an emergency, why is there no famous gynecologist around?"

"I heard that it is the Qingyu Garden of the governor. A girl in his house is sick, and many doctors have been called to see her."

Meng Tiao immediately thought that Dong Mo did it on purpose, and invited so many doctors to see a girl at this moment, how important is this girl?Is it his concubine?Perhaps it was for revenge on Meng Yu, so that his child would not be able to step through this gate of hell.

It may also be to lure her... Maybe there is this possibility?In an instant, she changed several thoughts, each of which was extremely mysterious.She thought for a while, then turned to ask Wen Po, "Mom, when will you give birth?"

The old mother said: "Look at this, it's dawn. Pain is nothing, and it hurts to have a baby. It's just that my aunt is giving birth to her first child, and there is a gynecologist next to her. Be on the safe side, and in case something goes wrong, it's okay." Respond. This woman gave birth to her first child, which is the hardest thing to say!"

A more mysterious idea popped into Mengyu's mind, that she could go to see him in a dignified manner, and in the eyes of everyone, even in front of her cowardly evasive thoughts, she had a candid statement.

She made up her mind, and ordered the young servant to take the carriage and go to Qingyu Garden to ask the doctor, while going back to the house to change clothes.Changed into a concubine-colored pair of breasts, and sat down at the dressing table to dress up.At first, I painted carefully, and then when I spread the powder evenly on my head, I suddenly remembered that I dressed like this, as if I was really going to see him.I was busy painting again, and changed the clothes again. It was a plain brocade black bijia, with oriole-colored wide sleeves and long skirts inside, and a dark green skirt underneath.

No matter how she tried to conceal it, her heart was still pounding by the carriage on the road, and the street was very quiet, only the creaking wheels and her heartbeat could be heard.

The guard at the gate of Qingyu Garden is very energetic, it seems that someone is really sick.After inquiring, I found out that it doesn't look like a fake, it was born in Xiechun.Hearing the purpose of his visit, the young fellow rushed in and returned, and came out in a moment to invite Meng Tiao into the garden.

Meng Tiao walked in with four or five lanterns. Looking at the moonlight and candlelight, the garden has not changed much. The vegetation is more prosperous than before, and the flowers and trees are much thinner.Entering Dong Mo's room, although there have been many changes in the display, the arrangement of furniture is still the same as before.

The biggest change was Dong Mo, who was standing under the screen, wearing a black crepe robe with a layer of white silk lining underneath, probably got up after falling asleep, and only used a green cloud-head hairpin to casually pull half of it Her hair was on the back of her head, the other half was untied, and there was some sinister pride in her eyes.Meng Tiao secretly hated herself, her black bijia seemed to match his black robe on purpose.

Dong Mo waved the servant away with a wave of his hand, and led Meng Yuan into the small hall ahead.The candles in the screen were dimly lit, and there was only one single candle on the kang table. The light was dim like a dream, and nothing could be seen clearly.Meng Tiao only feels that he is approaching an old dream that has been away for a long time, which is strange but familiar.

Even Dong Mo's voice was still as lazy as before, "The last time I bumped into my wife, she ran as fast as if she had seen a ghost. Unexpectedly, after only a few days, she would come to my door."

From what this meant, it really seemed like a trap that lured Meng to come.Meng Tiao was bored and wanted to speak properly, gouging him behind his back.His eyes fell on his slightly undulating shoulders, one left and one right, there were clear lights undulating on his shoulders, like a pair of gentle eyes, flapping their eyelashes in her heart.

"I'm here to invite a doctor. Who is sick in your lord's house? Why are all the famous gynecologists in Jinan prefecture called here? My lord, please give me a doctor. I have a pregnant woman waiting to give birth at home."

Dong Mo pointed to the comb-back chair under the window, "Madam, please sit down." Then he turned around and picked up a silver lamp, a small cluster of flames burned on his lips, as if there was a hint of a smile, which was unreal.The banter and ridicule in his eyes was clear in his trance, "What a coincidence, Xie Chun gave birth tonight. Does my girl, Mrs. Xie Chun, remember?"

Sitting on the chair, Meng Yu didn't know how to answer, she answered "remember", as if she was about to be pulled into the trap of the past, she didn't take advantage of it, and naturally she wouldn't have the upper hand.

She rubbed her waist, and said in the middle: "My aunt is also going to give birth tonight, my lord is kind enough to send a doctor to my house, will it be okay?"

"It's easy to say." Dong Mo leaned over slightly, floated the candle in his hand over her face, and placed it on the table beside her.The candle quickly saw the rouge on her lips, the shiny light powder, which was between delicate and dull.

He called a girl to pass the message in Xiechun House, and asked a doctor to follow the boy of the Meng family.Hearing this, Mengyu hesitated, "I'll take it home, thank you sir, for bothering me."

But he was stopped by Dong Mo, "Xiechun and his wife will have a better time. If she gives birth, won't the wife just wait and see?"

Meng Tiao had no choice but to sit back again, and her heart sank.Jumping up again is another way of jumping, better than a late-blooming flower, carrying the luck of the rest of life.

Dong Mo also sat down on the couch on the opposite wall, both of them had a lamp burning in their hands, and there was a round table with a colorful rug in between.The blanket underneath is scarlet, with winding and rugged phoenix patterns in full bloom, and countless flower branches are intertwined and entangled, connecting under each other's feet.It was a period of dazzling and vain time, and each of them felt a little wistful in their hearts that the muddled and chaotic time they experienced was only for this moment of reunion.

This essential idea was quickly wrapped up in cocoons, and Dong Mo remembered that they still had some unresolved grievances.

He slanted his shoulders slightly and smiled, "Unexpectedly, my wife is a virtuous lady. The concubine gave birth, and she was willing to come here to invite the doctor herself in the middle of the night."

Meng Tiao glanced uncomfortably, pursed her lips and muttered, "To be a lady of integrity, you must have the capacity to accommodate others."

Dong Mojin said sourly, "It's really unthinkable that this kind of virtuousness can appear in a vicious and lewd woman."

"Who are you calling lewd and lascivious?!" Meng Yao turned his eyes, fierceness on his face.Forget about the usual self-pity for a moment, just think that others can judge her like this, but he can't.

Unconsciously, she always had expectations of him that were different from ordinary people.The so-called "human nature" vaguely felt that it shouldn't happen to him, that he shouldn't resent her, it's not that he wasn't qualified, he was too qualified.But she has unreasonable "natural" demands on him.

But Dong Mo just ridiculed it "naturally", with hatred, "Also, seducing and framing other men for the sake of your husband may not be considered lewdness, but it shows your loyalty. Should I think so?"

Meng Tiao grinded his two mouths, but he couldn't justify himself. A great grievance welled up in his heart, and he stood up, "It turns out that your lord wants to settle old scores with me? Since I have done it, I dare to admit it. What do you want?" , just use all means, I'll just wait. It's nothing more than a life for you, what am I afraid of?"

Dong Mo was startled for a moment, and immediately surrounded the couch with his back loosely, and glanced at her coldly with a smile, "You are right, it seems that you are used to doing such things, not only do you not know how to repent, Still shameless."

When she got up, she blew out the candle, and she was covered in darkness, with shaggy hair, a pale and pale face, and a look of desolation in her eyes.

Dong Mo waited for her to argue, and he could say anything. His hatred that he refused to subdue because of his self-esteem actually just needed a soft word from her. Just one word, let him have a step down, and then slowly sort out her Bad things that don't matter.

However, Meng Tiao remained silent for a long time, and his heart was seriously hurt by his understatement.New Year's Eve passed, and the night was still very cold, and she wore thinner clothes, just to make her figure look less bloated, and a gust of wind swirled in, making her nose sore.

She felt that standing here was meaningless, and his eyes were so indifferent that there was only resentment.She turned around to leave, Dong Mo panicked, and hurriedly took a few steps to drag her, because he was angry and annoyed, his hands became stronger.

Mengtiao's arm hurt and he struggled. After the two of them tugged in silence, Mengtiao didn't know what to think, so he raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

With a "pop", the candles on the kang table also trembled.This unexpected slap startled each other for a moment.Gradually, a bit of ruthlessness flashed in Dong Mo's eyes, and Meng Tiao noticed that before he recovered, he hurriedly grabbed the skirt and ran away.

When she sat in the carriage, she was still trembling with fear, holding her hand, feeling blue with regret.When she was at home, she clearly felt sorry for him in every possible way, and wished she could tear out her heart to make amends, but why did she beat him instead?

Not only she couldn't figure it out, Dong Mo couldn't figure it out even more.He was obviously taking advantage of it, but got slapped instead.He sat on the chair she had sat on, in the dim light, laughing angrily, and couldn't help but hate even more in his heart.

On the next day, Xiechun gave birth to a baby girl, and her man happily came to Dong Mo to announce the good news. Remembering what Dong Mo ordered to investigate earlier, he reported by the way, "The family in the alley on Ping'an Street has been investigated, and it is Tai'an. The house rented by Zhizhou, whose surname is Pang, is usually unoccupied, and he has to be guarded by a servant. Occasionally, when he comes to Licheng, he will have a private meeting with Zhang...Meng's family, no, and Miss Meng in that house. It's been half a year."

The hatred in Dong Mo's heart couldn't help rising a few more inches, and only now did he dullly feel the pain on the left side of his face, which was from Meng Yu's beating.

He secretly gritted his teeth, swallowed the bitterness, and took care of Xie Chun, "For now, I don't want Xie Chun to take care of me, let her take care of her, and I will receive 100 taels of silver in the account, counting it as my meeting gift for the little girl."

"Ai, thank you, Lord. When my daughter-in-law is out of the moon, I will kowtow to the Lord with the girl in my arms."

Go out with joy here.On the other side, Meng Yu was also smiling and ordered, "Caiyi, pack 50 taels of silver for our young master, and another 50 taels for my aunt. Several doctors and mothers, each pack [-] taels of silver, and give two horses of material .”

There were a bunch of people crowded in the room, everyone was vying to congratulate each other, and those who spoke well and well, all received rewards.Meng Tiao held the wrinkled baby in her arms, looked down, for some reason, the joy of a new birth really burst from the bottom of her heart.At this time, I can't think of any kindness or hatred.

Yin Lian leaned on the pillow to watch her, suddenly let go of her heart, got up dripping with sweat, and thanked her, "Thank you, Mrs. for your kindness. Madam, don't hold her, the clothes are dirty, tell the nanny to carry her down."

Meng Tiao handed the wrapped baby clothes to the nanny, and walked to the bed, "You should rest and recharge your spirits. After the moon is over, there will be a banquet. I sent someone to Yanzhou to pass the message, don't worry."

When she spoke, her face was full of a cheerful and gentle smile, like the rain in early spring, bringing with it the coldness of dying, which made Qianshan quiet.Yinlian stared at her, suddenly felt sad.

This heartache was made for Meng Yu. As a woman, she could no longer detect any resentment caused by persistence in Meng Yuan's eyes.Meng Tiao's love for Meng Yu completely disappeared, she completely turned herself into an outsider, and passed the excitement of other people's stories with a little calm sadness.

However, sad and ridiculous, Meng Yu and even Yinlian, the two players in the game, are still bound by her.

Time has passed, and it is mid-February in the blink of an eye, Meng Tiao really arranged for the young master's full moon wine, because Meng Yu is not at home, it is not easy to arrange a big feast, so he only invites a few close relatives and friends to sit down.

This busy, very dignified and virtuous appearance of a great lady, attracted the praise of the servants, but they couldn't figure it out in private.She didn't know where her good mood came from. The concubine gave birth to a child, which made her so happy.

Looking into it, I don't even know about Mengyu's family, I just feel that the spring is full and the flowering time is coming, and my heart is shining with hope, like fireflies in the reed field, lighting up in the dark corner, even if it is faint.

This day, I drew up a post, and went to Liu's house in a sedan chair to invite her mother, Mei Qing, and Liu Chaoru. I never thought of getting out of the sedan chair and bumping into Dong Mo at the door.He did not ride in a carriage, was alone, and was wearing a dark green robe.Meng Yu recognized at a glance that this robe was made for him that year, and she felt secretly happy.

Dong Mo also saw her, and the hatred he had accumulated for many days suddenly became exhausted.It's really a strange thing in the world. It is said that love breeds hatred. If you love someone, you will be deceived by her, and if you can't get her, you will wish to kill her.

But why is his hatred so tender and cowardly, that he can't bring himself to be ruthless?

But he still looked dignified and gave Meng Tiao a cold glance.Seeing her wearing a peach-pink skirt underneath, and a silk-colored long gown on top, the silk-colored color has a faint pinkness, and her face is very white, like a flower bud that cannot be opened, she insists on waiting on the branch, waiting for spring to coax her She seems to be driving.

Who is going to coax her?Dong Mo was determined not to give in to her, so he stepped forward to the door first.Meng Tiao held up her skirt behind her, looking at his indifferent spine with slight surprise.Remembering the incident of beating him last time, he quickly forgave his indifference and followed through the door.

Liu Chaoru was coming out of the main room, when he saw the two of them at first, he was also surprised, but he didn't show it, and greeted them with a bow.Dong Mo was invited by him to discuss business matters, and the two went to the small study in the main room to talk.In an instant, Mei Qing and the old lady came out and went to the old lady's room to talk.

The mother serving the old lady served tea, and the mother and daughter were locked in the room.Sitting on the couch, Meng Tiao said with a smile, "Mother, this room is so stuffy." Then she opened the window.

"Where is it stuffy?" The old lady wrinkled her nose and sniffed, and raised her brows, "Oh, you don't smoke incense, I have smoked some sandalwood in this room, and the smell is stronger. You are doing it for that child Yinlian liquor?"

"That's why I came here. I have set the day after tomorrow, and everything is ready. I invited a troupe to sing an opera, and you are going to have fun?"

"Brother Yu is not at home, why are you in such a hurry? Who will entertain the male guests when you present this table?" The old lady brought a plate of snacks in front of her, complaining.

Meng Tiao laughed and said: "I didn't put on any big ostentation, I just came to invite you to have a meal together. If you want to arrange a banquet, you have to wait for Brother Yu to come back."

Speaking of this episode, Mei Qing sneered and said, "My sister has become more and more virtuous, and Yinlian gave birth to a son just like you gave birth to. Later, someone took your name and became a decent wife. See Do you still have such a spirit?"

After thinking about it, he looked at the wall beside him and raised his eyebrows, "I just saw Master Dong coming, didn't you make an appointment? My brother-in-law has just arrived in Yanzhou, so you are busy on your side. Why, Master Dong does not blame you You? He has a great forgetfulness, and in less than two years, he has exposed the fact that you have been fooled around."

Knowing that she had lost all her money, Meng Yu had to speak mean words, so she ignored her and just looked out of the window.It happened to be able to see the window of the small study in the main room, Dong Mo was sitting under the window with a half-back, his straight shoulders flicking slightly.

She guessed that he must be laughing, and let out a soft snort in her nasal cavity, with a touch of disdain sandwiched between humility and politeness, even though the sleepy and drunk eyes were avoiding the shadows, there was still some gloomy and sly wisdom.

Just thinking about it, there was a ripple in her heart.

The author says:

Dong Mo: Do ​​you dare to hit me?

Meng Tiao: I know I shouldn't, I'm wrong, but I'm a bit sloppy... Shall I try my best to fix it, does it hurt you?

Dong Mo: I will forgive you first.
