marry a weak waist

When the governor came to the province, the emperor passed down an oral order, and any officials who violated the law in the various roads he inspected could file a case for review first, and make up the memorial later.Therefore, Dong Mo interrogated Jinan for reselling illegal salt, and he could dispatch the yamen to assist in the investigation.

Even so, the Department of Salt Transportation has involved many people in the case, and there are also a thousand merchants, and there are not enough officials to preside over the jury.Dong Mo had no choice but to transfer Liu Chaoru to co-examine Luo Tian.When it gets chaotic, it means carrying the burden day and night, and not returning home for three or two days in a row.

One day Dong Mo went home to change his clothes, and as soon as he entered the house, Meng Yuan rushed out of the bedroom in a few strides, threw himself on him, swayed from side to side, "You haven't been home for four days, What are you just fussing about? Just leave me alone?"

The cat also came to his feet, rubbing against one of his boots and spinning.Dong Mo hurriedly tore Meng Yao off, and took a half step back.She seemed to have just woken up from a midday nap, with her bun and temples scattered from sleep, and she had no outer clothes on, only wearing a long black skirt and an indigo skirt inside.

Dong Mo put his hand in the middle and shook, "Get away from me quickly, I ran into the big prison of the yamen for a few days, and I didn't know if I got lice or not, so I carefully jumped on you."

As he spoke, he gently kicked the cat away.Meng Yu was also afraid of lice, so he didn't dare to approach him any more, so he just looked at him pitifully, "When will you be busy? It's going to be a holiday, so you have to be at home during the holiday, right?"

"I can't tell when I will finish my work. It depends on when the imperial edict will arrive in Jinan. But during the festival, I must have a reunion dinner at home. Shuwang was also called by me. I guess his house is also busy, and the servants There are few, you should prepare more, and invite your mother and sister and Shuwang to come over for dinner during the festival."

"But your second sister and second brother-in-law are still here."

"What's the matter?" Dong Mo went to the door and told the girl to boil water for a bath, then walked back and undressed in the bedroom, "There's no reason my family can spend the holidays with us, but yours can't. Hope to be my friend."

Meng Tiao followed him in, and saw him coming out from behind the screen, with all his clothes off on the ground, except for a soft silk hakama, shirtless.The small crown on the head was also untied, and the ribbon tied around the bun was hanging in front of the solid chest. He did not sit down, but stood in front of the screen.

He loves cleanliness, but he is afraid of getting lice on his body, so he sits where he leans and jumps on those things, and turns around to touch her in a dream, only to get them on her again.Even Mengtiao was about to come over, but he raised his hand to stop him, "Just talk over there, don't get too close."

Meng Yuan pouted and stared in embarrassment, turned around and walked to the front of the cabinet to lean on.The two faced each other, but there was a good distance between them.It's not just the distance, there are still four days to go.

His hakama was loosely tied around his waist, revealing a shallow navel. A piece of sunlight slanted on half of his straight chest and most of his firm belly.He was breathing, his abdomen was slightly flabbergasted, and there were still thin beads of sweat on his skin, giving him a mysterious and fierce power.

Meng Yuan looked up again, the larynx on his neck, not covered by the skirt, was more obvious rolling up and down slowly.She could no longer pay attention to what he was saying, took out a piece of silk, and walked away gracefully, "Look at your sweat..."

"Don't bother, I'll take a shower in a while." Dong Mo raised his hand to chase her away, and pushed the cat away with his feet.

The cat meowed, and wanted to cry softly, as if crying out the sorrow from the bottom of Mengyuan's heart.She stopped on the way, stomped her foot secretly, had no choice but to walk back, looked at him obliquely, and said in a slightly bad tone, "What did you just say?!"

Dong Mo told her to goug out her eyes with desire and dissatisfaction, as if she was swept by a cat's tail in her heart.He also missed her, but he was overwhelmed by business, so there was nothing he could do.He tilted his head and laughed, "I said Meng Yu is being held in prison, so why don't you ask him?"

"Ask!" Mengyu raised her chin angrily, "Is he eating well, is he sleeping well, and have you ever avenged yourself and abused him?"

"It didn't make you worry in vain. I didn't give him food or water, and I asked the prison officer to whip him a hundred lashes every day. Now, tsk tsk, it's all gone."

Meng Tiao only stared at his sweaty chest in the sun, she couldn't even imagine what other people looked like with their bodies covered in bruises.She bit her lower lip, and walked over while clutching the handkerchief, "Oh, don't let the screen get sweaty, it's made of silk, it's delicately embroidered, it's hard to wash..."

Dong Mo saw through her with a glance, smiled viciously, and let her take a look, "Don't come here. I'm not leaning on my back, you see, there is still a distance."

Mengyu was so embarrassed that he got angry, so he simply went to bed and lay down under the quilt, "I don't care about you, people are taking a good nap, you came back and woke you up for no reason."

He pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, only to hear Dong Mo laughing over there, but not the sound of footsteps.She was terribly disappointed in her heart, but she still listened unmistakably for any movement.

The maids brought water in and poured it into the bathtub behind the screen. The room was filled with smoke and mist for a while, and the sound of water splashed, as if it was overflowing in her heart.She heard him picking up the clothes rustlingly and handing them to the girl, and ordered: "Take it out and burn it."

He washed for a long time, and his dream was like a dry field waiting for a rainstorm, waiting for a spring heart to wither on the bed.It was so easy to hear him getting up and putting on his clothes, she hurriedly closed her eyes, turned her body sideways, and pressed the quilt tightly.

Hearing him coming over, he bent down and sprayed his breath on half of her face, and then kissed her temple, "I'm leaving."

Meng Yu was startled, turned over in a jerk, knelt on the bed and hung him by the neck, "I just came back, where are we going?"

Dong Mo's newly tied hair was still a little wet, and his clothes were already well dressed. A refreshing sandalwood-colored round-neck robe exuded the fragrance of soap and the smell of being exposed to the sun.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, lowered his face and kissed her dissatisfied mouth, "I have to hurry back to the office of the Ministry of Education. Several adults are waiting for me to discuss."

"Then what are you rushing back to do?" Meng Yu became more and more angry and pushed him away.

Dong Mo staggered two steps back, smiled helplessly, "I can't bear the dirt on my body, come back to take a shower and change clothes." He straightened his lapels, and looked at her tenderly for a long time from a distance of one step, "Miss me? I miss you too."

Meng Tiao glanced at him as if nothing had happened, "Who misses you? You're not at home, I have my own business and I'm busy."

But busy to and fro, just busy thinking about him.It's really strange, but I haven't seen each other for three or four days, and it seems that she has been lingering for several years, which made her feel a little sluggish. At night, she sat on the couch and thought about the days since they met.Thinking about it later, she felt that it was a dream, and she herself was not sure that there were such beautiful people and wonderful things in the world.

With an ambiguous smile on his face, Dong Mo sucked his lips, "Come on, don't be too busy getting angry, I don't have time to coax you right now, wait until I'm done working for a while."

As he spoke, he set up a meeting at the same place, and waited for her to get up to see her off.Meng Meng fell down on the bed, surrounded by piles of quilts, and turned his face away, as if he was going to give it away.He didn't wait any longer, and walked out, "I really don't have time to coax you. I'll go first, so I don't want to delay you."

Meng Tiao was stunned, then hurriedly jumped out of bed, hurriedly took off her embroidered shoes and chased him out.After chasing down the porch, only the leaves of the red cedar tree outside the cave were left, and he was nowhere to be found.

She told the girls in the corridor to cover their mouths and make jokes for a while, then she felt ashamed and turned around resentfully.Hearing movement at the other end of the cave again, he hurriedly turned around to have a look, but it was Kouhen coming.

Meng Tiao was disappointed for a while, but then suddenly remembered that she had just taken a nap, her hair was fuzzy from sleeping, she was still wearing a middle coat underneath, and her shoes were still lazily hanging on her feet.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to welcome or retreat, so he stood there awkwardly, and when Kouhen came, he smiled at Fushen, "Second Miss."

Kou Hen nodded slightly, grabbed her skirt and entered the door, "Ms. Meng just woke up from her afternoon nap? It's really time for me to come. Miss, don't rush to greet me, go to your business first."

After a while, Xie Chun served tea and entertained him, and accompanied him for a few words, and saw Meng Yu coming out of the bedroom fully dressed.Her hair was also combed and tied neatly, with only a silver hairpin on.

During the holidays, Meng Tiao is looking for Kou Chen to discuss this matter.Dong Mo just asked her to make up her own mind, but his sister and brother-in-law lived here, so he didn't ask them, so he seemed special and indifferent.

Then he said: "Seeing that the festival is coming, I am going to ask the second girl how to spend it well. What I mean is that the banquet is set in the hall next to the study, or in the water pavilion, but it is only during the daytime." It’s okay to listen to the opera there, but I’m afraid there will be many mosquitoes while watching the moon at night.”

Kou Hen nodded slightly, "Since Zhang Ping is entrusted to the girl, the girl should discuss it with Xie Chun. Although Xie Chun didn't talk about these things when he was at home, but watching our housekeepers and grandmas talk about it, they can see it. If you don't understand anything, just ask her."

Comparing Mengtiao to a servant, Mengtiao felt uncomfortable and nodded with a contemptuous face.Kou Hen slowly blinked his eyelids, and turned to ask Dong Mo: "I heard that San Mo is busy with an important case, and he hasn't been home for a few days? I told him to go to my place. I have something to say to him. I don't see him going."

"It's the case of the Department of Salt Transportation. Many adults have been implicated. They have been interrogated repeatedly but still can't win. They just came back to take a bath and changed their clothes, and then went again without even drinking a cup of tea."

"Oh." Kouhen dragged the end of the sound, like a thread, implicating the words below, "I heard that there is a key criminal in it, a political candidate named Meng, who is your former husband's family?"

This is strange, when she first came here, she just ignored Meng Tiao, but recently she asked about Meng Tiao with a contemptuous attacking attitude.Meng Tiao became a little more alert and didn't dare to say more, "Yes, there is no communication now."

Kou Hen pursed the tea stains on his lips, and said with a slight smile, "Not necessarily. When I came to this room that day, I heard the girl greet the guests, so I didn't come in. It seemed that someone was begging the girl in the corridor, and my mouth was full. What are the "girl's usual means" and "girl's power" in it. It seems that Miss Meng is probably a powerful person in Jinan, but I was blind at the beginning and underestimated the girl."

Mengyu's heart trembled, and he felt anxious, "You're joking, I'm just a woman. If you ask for help, it's natural to hold the person up high, and it can't be taken seriously."

"Really? I don't think so."

Kou Hen just kept smiling, Meng Yuan turned his head to meet her gaze, as if he had been stripped naked in broad daylight, full of embarrassment and shame that had nowhere to hide.

She must have inquired about some dreamy past events.Those things have always been because of Dong Mo's indifferent attitude, and Meng Tiao doesn't feel much regret.At this moment, it was exposed in front of Kou Hen's clean and white body, and waves of embarrassment came towards Meng Tiao.

Kouhen is like a painter, with a temperament that never speaks out, even if he speaks decisively, his attitude is always gentle and leaves room for others.

She always keeps a blank, allowing people to think, repent, and feel guilty.She firmly believes that what she understands is much deeper than what others tell.

After a moment of silence, she changed the conversation, and then said to Meng Yu, "Young lady left that Meng's house, it was really timely. If she is still at his house at this moment, wouldn't she be implicated by this Mr. Meng? This Mr. Meng, I heard that he used to be a powerful person in Jinan, but he is now a prisoner. It can be seen that good and evil will be rewarded, sooner or later. Having said that, if a man commits crimes and commits crimes in the officialdom, there will naturally be national laws to deal with him. Women have a little Well, a woman hides in a deep courtyard, and her virtues are bad, and she can only be condemned by everyone's conscience. If you encounter someone who has no shame, you don't even have to accept this condemnation."

Meng Tiao turned his face away, and rolled his eyes idly, as if he couldn't bear to fall there, and finally had to glance at the ground, "Everyone has a sense of shame."

"That's the best. As the saying goes, the prodigal son will not be exchanged for money when he returns. I don't think this sentence is correct. Whatever you have done and what has gone wrong, it is like a three-foot long nail nailed into the seam of a person's bones, and it lies flat I don't feel anything, but when I bend my knees and bend my waist, I can poke and hurt people. The past is over, and I don't quite agree with this sentence. People, isn't it just what you do and say for yesterday? If it is true that the past is the past and today is today, wouldn’t it mean that the debt I owed yesterday would not have to be repaid today? There is no such reason.”

When it comes to this verse, Kou Hen secretly peeps at Meng Yuan, and sees her biting her lower lip, as if she has some hard-to-speak difficulties.

Kou Hen laughed again, "But having said that, in this world, who doesn't have a last resort? It's not necessary to do something that shouldn't be done. You can't say that you have to, others have to bear the consequences for him, forgive me His mistake."

Meng Yu was speechless to refute, and gradually lowered her head, like a heavy pendant around her neck, it was all the things she did that she shouldn't have done in the past, and now they all poured out from this woman's mouth.

Bad is bad, good is good, people are born with a sense of shame.Kou Hen didn't say any more, she believed that a woman's imagination was endless, and sooner or later, Meng Tiao would think of where she wanted her to think of.

She drank the tea and smiled softly, "It's not easy to sleep in the afternoon, and it's boring to sit, so I came here to chat with Miss Meng. Don't worry about it. By the way, it's the holiday, girl, don't just focus on us." , we and Sanmo are a family reunion, there is no reason for the girl to worry about it. You also take your mother and sister over, and you are also reunited as a family. I will go back, and the girl should not be sent away."

Meng Tiao still got up and sent her to the porch, when the sun fell behind the eaves of the porch, the green tiles on the opposite side burned, as if it had burned Meng Tiao.

That night, Mengyu was tossing and turning, not knowing whether it was because of Dong Mo's absence, the bed was more than half vacant, and her heart and mind were also more than half vacant.In this emptiness, the past and the past are rushing in, and what floats up in the boundless sea of ​​suffering is not glistening silver, or a pair of eyes of men who have long been so unfamiliar that they cannot be recognized.

Her past is full of dirt and dirt, and there is almost nothing that can be brought out.As the saying goes, the prodigal son will not be exchanged for gold, but what about the prodigal daughter?There is no turning back for her in this world.

Facing Dong Mo's sleeping side, she curled up her body, eyes weeping blankly.It's a pity that the tears could not wash away the past, but instead made her feel a deep burning pain.

On the second day, Mengyu's face was pale, his eye circles were slightly blue, and he still had to deal with the festive affairs.He also discussed with the Xiechun man about the etiquette of the various places, ordered the kitchen to prepare food for the festival, and sent the servant to pass the message to the old lady, telling them to come to Qingyu Garden during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is no need to prepare a feast at home.

The boy left at noon, and came back the next afternoon to say that the old lady was not at home, so he just told Miss Mei, who agreed.

It turned out that this day happened to be negotiating with Tong Tong about the money, the old lady took her mother to the house on Daxing Street in the afternoon, expecting to earn back the 4000 taels of silver today.

Therefore, along the way, the old lady couldn't help smiling, the corners of her mouth couldn't be flattened, she hung her face in front of the sedan chair, and assumed a domineering attitude.

Unexpectedly, following the servant into the room, there was a more domineering person than her sitting on the couch, it was Mrs. Nalian.Mrs. Lian is tall and strong, and a little more domineering than her, sitting on the couch and drinking tea.He clearly heard the girl leading people in, but he still pretended not to hear, and after a while he turned his face and smiled, "Oh, you damn girl, you don't even say a word when you come in!"

As he said that, he glanced at the girl, and went forward to help the old lady, "Please sit down, we are all acquaintances, don't talk about those empty etiquette."

The old lady looked around the room, but she didn't see Lian Juan, so she asked, "Why don't you see Master Lian?"

"He?" Mrs. Lian helped her onto the couch first, turned around slowly, and sat down to sit opposite, "Don't mention him, and say that the yamen has something to do. Don't you know? Meng Yu asked someone to go to the yamen He took it away. He used to work in the Futai Yamen, and many people from the ordinary Yamen came to the Futai Yamen to ask questions. He was busy entertaining those people, so how could he get away? If you have something to say, just tell me, his Lord, I can still do it."

The old lady guessed in her heart that it must be that wimp who went home and told Mrs. Lian about the previous incident, and asked Mrs. Lian to come forward for him.

She was not afraid, so she pulled out the silk hanging from the ring of the bracelet, and flicked the skirt with lowered eyes, "Since that's the case, I must have made it clear to you and even my wife about the foolish things that the master did, so I don't have to do much." Said. He agreed to pay me 4000 taels of silver from the Mengliu family. Today I came to get the silver. Even my wife is busy with important affairs, so I won’t bother you anymore after taking the silver.”

Mrs. Lian glanced at her and smiled, "That man who wants to die has done such a shameless thing, so he should pay your family some money. It's only 4000 taels. It's not enough to get it all together. It's just barely enough. 1000 taels."

As he said that, he asked an old woman to take a few tickets and put them on the kang table, "To tell you the truth, only one thousand is very tight. Yesterday, I took a golden pot from my dowry to pawn 200 taels to get it together." Qi. You don’t dislike it, old man, just take it and use it first.”

The old lady's expression changed immediately, "Why did you only take one thousand from the four thousand that was agreed upon? It's not like you to change your mind."

"Four thousand is really not enough. My house looks glamorous on the outside, but on the inside, tsk tsk, it's already short-lived. It's just good for us to get along with each other every day. Are you still considerate?"

"This matter is unforgivable." The old lady's eyes were cold and hard, and she refused to give up a tael of silver, "You think about me, I have a good daughter, and I asked him to abduct her here and eat her. It's a big loss for me as a mother. I feel distressed and shameless. Besides, there is a son-in-law. I can't feel sorry for their Liu family. Fortunately, the son-in-law has been busy recently. If he is idle at home, he sees our mother panicking. With the flustered expression in his face, I have to ask. I'm not used to telling lies, so if I have to, I will let it out."

Even the wife is not a vegetarian, so after thinking about it for a few days at home, she decided that they might not dare to tell Liu Chaoru.Besides, her master spent a lot of money on Mei Qing a while ago, why didn't he ask where he got those things at that time?It's clear that these two women put a long line to kill the big fish.

Hence, Mrs. Lian decided to lie to her, "Don't worry, listen to me first. Why am I here today? I have something in my heart to tell the old lady. Since Miss has already had an affair with our master, Our master loves her so much, I thought, why not let them be fulfilled. Master Liu, let him know, if he knows, I will be ruined here, and I have to collect some money from him, and personally hold it in front of him to replace my master. Make a match with the young lady and beg him to let him go. He is so young, he may not be able to marry a decent one again, so he may not refuse to agree."

As she said that, she slapped the table and made up her mind, "When the time comes, I will take the young lady to my house. If the old lady is afraid of wronging the young lady, I will let Xian! I will let the young lady do the work for my wife, and I will be the young lady." There is nothing wrong with serving her!"

As soon as these words came out, the old lady was also startled, she turned her head and looked at her, thinking that she really underestimated this living Pixiu, it turned out that she was stupid on the outside but smart on the inside.

She couldn't come up with an idea to answer her for a while, she turned her mind a few times, and straightened her back, "My son-in-law is a person who knows death by reading. If you ask him to collect the money and divorce his wife, he will definitely refuse. Maybe the fire will come." Come on, if he gets stubborn, he will definitely sue your master for ruin."

When Mrs. Lian tried this, she tried to make some sense, and then she took the case again, with a look of awe-inspiring righteousness, and pushed forward, "Then tell him to sue! It's just right, my master, what I usually say about him, He won't listen to me, he's fine now, if something like this happens, even if I have great abilities, I can't control him anymore. I'll ask Mr. Liu to cure him for me, at worst, we'll lose our job. Going back to my hometown to farm, and the family is idle and no one cares about it. I don’t want him to be an official butcher, I just want to have a peaceful home. I think he will dare to do these things in the future without hesitation!"

The old lady was forced to hesitate for a while, thinking silently.Mrs. Lian took advantage of the victory to pursue her again, and said with a smile: "My life is miserable. Being greedy for such a man has exhausted me for half my life. When something like this happens, at best, it can be regarded as God's venting for me. I can't cure him. Each of them is in his own cocoon."

The old lady raised her mouth and said with a sneer, "You really can think about it."

"What can you do if you can't think about it? You can think about it when you come to my field."

The old lady twitched her lips twice, swallowed her resentment, and maintained a calm attitude, "How could I come to your field? Now it's not me who bullied his daughter and son-in-law, it's him who bullied you." My daughter and son-in-law, people still have a basket of truths to tell me."

"I'm also desperate, there's nothing I can do. You asked for 4000 taels of silver, who has this money?" Mrs. Lian's chest fell heavily, she let out a breath, and laughed, "It's not easy to say, the money Even if you buy a red-brand fan in a kiln, you can redeem two or three of them. A pious woman can’t earn so much after working so hard to raise a girl. Whose money can’t be made by strong winds?”

The implication is to reveal to the old lady that this guy has seen through their tricks and knows what they are.When the old lady heard it, she felt short of breath and had nothing to do.

The two who were behind were back and forth several times, but they couldn't get entangled, so they had to take a step back and settled on two thousand silver.Mrs. Lian asked the old lady to make up another one thousand treasure notes, and sent the old lady out with a smile.

It was dusk when the debate stopped.Along the street rushing to close, the street was noisy and chaotic.

The old lady was sitting in the sedan chair, listening to these voices, it was as if the wife's out-of-key voice was still ringing in her ears, making her breathless, she lifted the curtain and complained to her mother, "This shrew is clearly prepared Come on, look at her, she said 2000 taels, and then took out another [-] taels. It’s no loss that she came from a merchant, and she is a good hand in business!"

My mother had no choice but to persuade by the sedan chair, "Two thousand is not a lot. Just think about it. You planned two thousand at the beginning, and the four thousand was inflated because you were afraid that they would shirk the price. After all the calculations, we didn't lose money." ah."

The old lady was silent, swallowed all kinds of hatred, and pulled the corner of her mouth to comfort herself, "You are right, thankfully I saved a hand. At first I said two thousand, but today I only have one thousand?"

Throw down the curtain, turn a corner, and the sedan chair turns to another street.That street was a little narrower, and every household was busy closing the door panels, closing the stalls, some of the shops sold rouge and gouache, and some stalls sold fish and meat.Vegetable leaves trampled on the bluestone slabs, fish blood stained by the water, red pulp, green scum, yellow mud all over the ground... The smell of fat and powder is mixed with fishy smell, filling this chaotic and chaotic world.
