marry a weak waist

After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather became even colder, and only then did I realize that it was cold in dew and cold in autumn.The imperial court's decree arrived in the middle of the month, and the meaning of the holy will and the cabinet was to order Meng Yu and other criminal officials to be escorted back to Beijing for conviction, and Dong Mo to go to Hebei as soon as possible.

As for what crime to convict, the decree did not specify.Dong Mo guessed how much, although he was disappointed in his heart, he laughed and said to the inquiries of the officials of the yamen: "How can I guess the holy will? Don't guess, my lords. Anyway, we have done what we should do, and finally there is nothing. Live up to the imperial court. The rest is left to the cabinet to decide. My lords, you send an official to escort the offender to leave the day after tomorrow."

At noon Dong Mo returned home, planning to leave for Hebei in October.Going to tell Meng Yu, and thinking that the two of them had quarreled a few words last time and hadn't spoken for many days, it was inevitably a bit embarrassing.

He has been living in the study recently, sleeping on the couch in the study, and only asks a servant to serve him. He does not go back to his room to eat, and only sends the servant to get anything he wants.

At first, Mengyu watched the young man go back and forth, feeling very unhappy and making excuses to make things difficult.Once someone wanted to take Dong Mo's clothes, Xie Chun rummaged in the big cupboard, Meng Yuan watched from the couch, lightly said: "His robe has been burned long ago, where can I find it?"

Xie Chun did not find it after searching for a long time, so he had to step down on the ladder, "Burn it? When did it happen?"

"In those days, he always went to the prison, afraid of getting lice and fleas, and the clothes he wore would be burned by the girl when he came back, have you forgotten?"

Xie Chun frowned, "I didn't burn it, and I can't remember whether that dress was burned or not. It's strange, he likes that dress, why is he still wearing it and going to the prison?"

The dress was a round-neck gown made of fragrant green Lu silk, with waves embroidered on the neckline, it was actually cut by Mengyu Xiaxia for him.The boy couldn't find it, so he had to ask for his body and take it to the study.

Not long after, Dong Mo came into the house and said to Xie Chun, "I didn't tell the girl to burn that dress, so you can look for it again."

Xiechun raised the curtain of the bedroom, and saw Mengyu sitting on the couch winking at her, only then did she understand what she meant, and stepped back to answer Dong Mo's words, "I searched for it several times, and I have a lot of green clothes. You go into the house and look through it yourself?"

Dong Mo had no choice but to open the curtain to enter the room. The fumigated wind swayed slightly inside the room, and it was warm. Meng Yao was sitting on the couch, wearing a peach-pink stand-up collar gown, a mouse-gray skirt, and the forehead smelled like pink. He was peeling oranges and eating them, pretending to be Without looking at him, she turned her face away from the screen window.

Now that he came in, Dong Mo wanted to talk to her, he stood in front of the cupboard with some hesitation, turned his head and asked, "Have you seen my robe?"

Meng Yu turned her head slightly, curled her lips, "Your clothes, what do you ask me for? I'm not washing your clothes."

Although the words were not pleasant, his attitude was a little relaxed, and his tone was soft, without the previous coldness.After speaking, she lowered her head, and picked up the white meridians of the oranges on the skirt, little by little, with a look of self-pity.

Dong Mo came over slowly, with a soft attitude, "That dress is my favorite, think about where the girl has cleaned it up."

Meng Tiao pursed her lips, "I can't remember, the girl tidied up the house, she didn't come to ask me about everything."

"You did that yourself." Dong Mo sat down and peeked at her with crooked eyes.

She lowered her face halfway, and muttered, "What's the matter? Just make another one."

"Are you still willing to do it for me?"

"It doesn't mean I'm that lazy to make a piece of clothing."

Dong Mo gradually smiled, and sat opposite him without speaking.Mengyu raised her eyebrows and saw his half-satisfied face, she tilted her chin toward the window, "Don't be complacent, I'm not trying to reconcile with you."

"No good, what clothes are you going to give me?" Dong Mo moved to his side, put his arms around her waist, and tilted his head to look at her, "You don't go out, why are you putting on makeup? Are you hiding the clothes?" Get up and lead me over? The makeup is also drawn for me."

Meng Yu turned around and pushed him, "Go and find, and see if I hid it for you!"

Sure enough, Dong Mo stood up and made a gesture to go to the bed.The bed was still covered with tents, and no one was sleeping in it, either to cover up people or to cover up something else.Afraid that he would expose him, Mengyu immediately turned around, snorted heavily and let out a "hum" into the pipe.

He turned back again and sat behind her laughing silently.Meng Tiao felt that he couldn't face it, so he turned his head and gouged him out.

The two reconciled somewhat. Dong Mo originally planned to move back to the house to sleep, but he heard that his second sister was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, so he came back and told Meng Tiao.When Meng Yuan heard this, he became discouraged again, and his face was not as good as before.

Dong Mo got angry when he saw her listless, so he naturally didn't mention going back to the house, and still slept in the study.

Now, for the matter of going to Hebei, he lingered under the verandah and hesitated.It was raining outside the porch, and the wind was blowing colder and colder.Xie Chun came out with an empty tea bowl, bumped into him, and dragged him into the room, "Young lady is having a stomachache, why don't you go take a look?"

"Stomach hurts? Why?"

Xie Chun shot him a look, he understood the meaning, and walked into the bedroom.

In the middle of the day, Meng Tiao was still curled up on the bed and fell asleep, her hair was messed up and she was wearing black pajamas.The face on the pillow was dripping with sweat, eyes were closed, forehead was slightly furrowed, and cheeks were tragically white.Dong Mo's heart tightened immediately, he hurriedly walked to the bed and sat down, found a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, "Your stomach hurts while you're menstruating?"

Mengyu opened his eyes and saw him, full of grievances and pain, and turned his face to ignore him.Dong Mo picked her up and held her in his arms, "Why is the pain so severe this time? Have you asked the doctor to come and see her?"

It happened that Xie Chun came in with ginger soup, and replied: "I sent a message to invite you. This time, the pain is not good, probably because of the sudden cold weather."

Dong Mo suddenly thought of something, held Meng Tiao's waist and pushed her back a little, "Could it be a miscarriage, don't you know?"

Mengyu couldn't help rolling his eyes, with tears in his eyeballs, and said weakly and fiercely: "I don't know if I have a child? What are you thinking!"

"Sir, stop talking about these jokes. If there is a child, we women won't notice?" Xie Chun smiled and handed him the ginger soup, "Hurry up and feed the girl, it will make your stomach feel more relaxed when it is warmed up."

Dong Mo handed the mouth of the bowl to Meng Tiao's mouth, and still held her in his arms after eating.Meng Tiao was sleeping uncomfortably, so she put her head on his shoulder and rubbed against his neck.The cat also jumped onto the bed and lay down on the quilt embraced by Meng Yao.

Dong Mo chased it away, "Go down, don't press down on your sister."

Meng Meng smiled, "Don't chase it, it's more comfortable to press on your stomach."

Dong Mo still drove the cat off, and stretched his hands into the bed to rub her stomach, with neither light nor heavy force, until Meng Yuan hummed, and it didn't hurt so much.She opened her eyes and looked at his chin and complained, "Why are you willing to come here again? I thought you would never talk to me for the rest of your life."

"It's really okay for a lifetime, and it's okay if you don't talk." Dong Mo smiled, and his tone was a bit bleak in tune with the sound of rain outside the window.

Speaking of words such as "a lifetime" at this moment, both of them felt a little melancholy.At this moment, I heard someone coming from outside, probably the girl led the doctor in.Looking under the curtain, it was indeed a doctor who came in, but it was none other than Qiusheng and Kouhen.

It turned out that Kouhen and Qiusheng were returning home from visiting friends, and ran into the girl in front of Dong Mo in the garden, who was leaving in a hurry, so Kouhen asked what was the matter.The girl replied that it was something wrong with Meng Yuan and wanted to invite a doctor outside.Kou Hen pointed at Qiu Sheng and said with a smile that he was an imperial doctor, why would he invite outside?So the two followed into the house.

Qiu Sheng asked a few words, learned that it was abdominal pain during menstruation, and said with a smile: "This disease is just my medicine! Many empresses and princesses in the palace also have this problem. After taking my prescription, they gradually improved. Dream Girl, please go to sleep and wait for me to cut everything."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Sheng gradually frowned.Dong Mo saw some clues, and dragged him outside to inquire.Qiu Sheng asked, "I heard that Miss Meng had a husband's family before her. I wonder if she had any children?"

Dong Mo frowned and shook his head, Qiu Sheng asked again, "What about you?"

"Never. What, what's wrong?"

Qiusheng asked him to sit down on the couch, raised his eyebrows and kept silent, embarrassing a few times, and finally said, "Let me tell the truth, Miss Meng is weak and weak, and it is difficult to give birth. , it’s not easy. Pay attention to maintenance, and after a long time of conditioning, you may be able to conceive, but you may not be sure.”

Followed by his words of comfort.On the contrary, he was careless. Dong Mo knew about this a long time ago, and he was relieved when he heard it, "As long as it doesn't harm your life, it doesn't matter. Please ask brother-in-law to prescribe the medicine, and I will send my servants to get the medicine."

"It has nothing to do with life. If you take two more medicines, her abdominal pain will also be alleviated." Qiu Sheng also heaved a sigh of relief, and the two of them agreed to go and write prescriptions in the small study at the other end.

There was a sudden silence in the bedroom, the rain stopped, and the voices talking outside gradually faded away.The sky hadn't had time to clear up, and there seemed to be a layer of gloomy veil outside the window screens, making it difficult for people to see the facial features and expressions clearly at a very close distance.

The matter of Meng Yu's impossibility to bear children was seen by the doctor when he told Meng Yu in the early years, and he also told Dong Mo, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.But at the moment Kouhen is sitting in front of the bed, although she can't see her face clearly, but those icy and pure eyes are dimly shining, like ice water gently swaying in a bowl, ready to overflow at any time, stinging people's hands .

She couldn't help shrinking back under the quilt, as if she had suddenly lost her qualifications to be a woman in front of a healthy woman.From Kou Hen's eyes, she knew that she was completely unqualified, and she was a low-quality gadget that the upper class people in the market stalls would not even take a second look at.

All courteous yelling was meaningless, Meng Tiao didn't say anything, and turned inside out.

Kou Hen held the quilt for her instead, with gentleness like a knife, and a smile like a knife. He chirped loudly behind his back, and his voice was soft and ruthless, "Actually, it's nothing important. Not all women in this world are Everyone has to have children. For example, "those" women don't have to have children. Some women have children, but they are cumbersome. She is a burden herself, so why drag another child? Sanmo will not be short of women. He gave birth to a child, you must not be discouraged and blame yourself, it is important to take care of your body."

With her back turned, Meng Tiao sneered sadly, "Thank you for your concern."

"You're welcome."

Kouhen looked at her from behind with a smile for a while, then opened the curtain and went out.Seeing Dong Mo passing the prescription to Xiechun and ordering it, she called him face to face: "Sanmo, Miss Meng is not feeling well, you go into the house and stay with her. You think I don't know, you have slept in the study these days, I really don’t know how to be considerate at all. I must move back to sleep today.”

Dong Mo ignored her, responded casually, and went into the bedroom.

The couple resigned and went back to the room.The road was wet, and there were small uneven puddles everywhere, Kou Hen was walking carefully with his skirt on his hands, and the pair of moonlight-colored soft silk shoes were barely stained.There are dense trees and branches on her head, dripping water drippingly, Qiu Sheng looked at her hair on her shoulders, and it was still so delicate that no water dripped on it.

He admired her a little bit, but in this admiration, there was some estrangement of not conspiring with each other.He couldn't help laughing, "You seem very proud."

Kou Hen tilted his eyes up, and calmly said, "Really? Where did you see that?"

"You urged me to see Miss Meng. It seems that you have already guessed that she is not in good health and can't bear children, so you want to let my brother know. I don't think my brother is surprised at all. People probably knew about it a long time ago. Do I need you to do more?"

"He is my brother. I was ordered by my grandparents. Is it too much to take care of his affairs?"

Qiu Sheng hung the corner of his lips contemptuously, "I can't say no to you, you are all right. I just want to persuade you, not all women in the world have to live like you to be good, and you Don't take it too far."

Kou Hen didn't look at him, said "Oh" meaningfully, and nodded, "If you really meet an unruly woman and you can accept it calmly, I will believe you."

After she finished speaking, she quickened her pace and walked forward, raised her hand abruptly and knocked down the branch above her head.The dripping water fell down, soaking Qiu Sheng's body.He was ruthless in his heart, but he just stood there and could do nothing.

The pink is fading, the smoke is messy, and the cloudy sky above the head floats slightly to the sides, showing some signs of clearing up.In the next noon, it was sunny, but after the wind and rain, it was so sunny that it was so sad.

Kou Hen is a bit better, after she said, Dong Mo had a step down, and he moved his things back into the house in the next afternoon.After taking the medicine, Mengyu's abdominal pain got better, and he wanted to get out of bed to help him put his things back, but he stopped him on the bed, "Don't get down, you're still asleep."

Meng Yu pouted and complained, "After sleeping for a whole day, my bones are going to fall apart."

"Then you get up and sit down and ask the girl to tidy up."

The maids came in to arrange his clothes, shoes and socks, but he was still defiant.He held Meng Yuan in his arms, patted her on the back, and coaxed her like a child, "Are you hungry? My brother-in-law said that after taking this medicine, I will make you hungry quickly, so I asked them to make dinner early."

Mengtiao managed to regain his energy, he didn't feel hungry, but felt bitter in his mouth, so he leaned on his shoulder and asked for candied fruit.Dong Mo ordered the girl to bring it.He groped into the quilt and was still about to rub her abdomen, but he felt that there was a thick straw paper under her, so he frowned and looked down at her, "Why don't you put some cotton cloth? How can you sleep comfortably with these papers?"

Meng Tiao was a little embarrassed, and buried her face on his shoulder, "This time there is a lot, and I'm afraid it will seep through the cloth. If you don't wash it clean, you have to throw it away. It's too expensive."

"If you lose it, just throw it away, so you don't have to move it around, and it's troublesome."

"Where are you going?"

Dong Mo sighed: "Go to Hebei, and leave in October. The imperial court's decree arrived in Jinan in the morning, and Meng Yu was escorted back to Beijing to force me to leave for Hebei as soon as possible. I just came to tell you this in the morning. You are in pain. I was so anxious that I forgot about it. In two days, it’s time to order the servants to pack up. Your mother and sister, and your acquaintances here, you have to tell them. The matter in Hebei is over, and we’ll go back to Beijing directly. Then turn back to Jinan."

In fact, I knew that I would go to Hebei first and then return to Beijing, but the date was suddenly set, as if a wave was coming, which caught Mengyu a little off guard.She has been in Jinan for more than ten years, and all her past and entanglements are here. She usually doesn't think this place is very good, but suddenly she wants to go elsewhere. The whole person seems to be rooted here, and she can't pull out .

Both Hebei and Beijing are too unfamiliar.She couldn't imagine those strange days, and always felt that the unknown prosperity was also full of unknown horrors, just like the majestic, lonely and cold horror of Kouhen.

She rested on Dong Mo's shoulder and didn't speak for a long time.Dong Mo also fell silent, as if waiting for her answer, but suddenly felt a premonition of separation.

He hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go, "Don't be afraid, no matter where you go, I'll be there."

Meng Yukong opened his mouth, closed it again, and smiled after a while and said: "Let's go, it's troublesome to bring those things in Curry. I have a familiar door, and I will use the things I can't use in the future." He pawned it there, and after two days, I will exchange all the materials and porcelain in our garden into silver, and it will be cheap."

Dong Mo said "hmm", not necessarily very happy.

He knew that what she said at this moment was a bit forced. In fact, she was more afraid of the future than looking forward to it. She didn't make up her mind, but she couldn't live up to his responsibility.

Even so, as soon as Mengyu recovered, he was busy packing those things.Invite the shopkeeper of Dianxing who was acquainted in the past, and let the servants of the family carry out all the ingredients and spices, and ask the old shopkeeper to have a visual inspection.

The room is full of opened gold-painted boxes and cages, everywhere, including cloth jewelry that is not used, antique porcelain, spices and medicinal materials.Most of them were moved out of Meng's house by her, and some of them were gifts Dong Mo received in Jinan.Meng Tiao led the old shopkeeper around the box, as if checking her fortune for most of her life.Every time you take a step, you will feel more lost, like going around in circles all your life, and it will disappear in an instant.

She grabbed her skirt and bent down, picked up a high-quality official kiln jug to look at.The old shopkeeper also squatted down behind him, pulled out a piece of material, touched it, and couldn't help clicking his tongue, "Your things are naturally good, but they are all mortgaged, I'm afraid I won't be able to come up with so much cash here for a while." .”

Mengyu suddenly turned around, put down the jug, and looked back with a smile, "Hey, don't say such things, no one in Jinan knows about your pawn shop, let alone four or five thousand silver, it's tens of thousands You can too."

"Hey, look at how flattering you are. Originally, I could barely get it, but by coincidence, the aunt of the girl's ex-husband's house also pawned a lot of things two days ago, and I paid her all the cash in my hand. Girl here If you are not in a hurry, allow me to turn around for a few days. It doesn’t need to be too much, allow me ten days, and I will go and collect some cash.”

"You mean Yinlian? She also buys things?"

The old shopkeeper smiled and sat on the chair with her, "I really don't know what the name is. The surname is Zhang. The Meng family has been sealed off, and the one who lives in Yunsheng Lane now. Speaking of which, I heard that the first two Rigai has gone to Beijing, do you know?" Then he patted his forehead in a daze, "Look at what I asked, his business was handled by your governor, how could he not know."

Mengyu smiled, and invited him to a chair to have tea, "What is Auntie doing, the Meng family has been sealed off, why don't she keep those good things?"

"She was in a hurry to get rid of it, saying that she was going to Beijing. Think about it, this trip to Beijing has to be done, and she needs to cash in money."

Meng Yu was really surprised. Meng Yu's life and death were uncertain after Meng Yu's visit. Fortunately, the court had not found Yinlian. She didn't talk about avoiding the limelight, but what was she rushing to Beijing for?What's more, he also brought a child who couldn't walk steadily.

Inevitably, he thought of Meng Yu again.Recently, there has always been a sense of being unable to escape the past, going around, she is just reincarnated in the anticipation and fear endowed by love, and she feels at a loss wherever she goes.

She was holding a teacup on the chair, scraping the tea froth against the old shopkeeper.The sound of "Kachi Kechi" sounded one after another, like a series of footsteps, people who were once acquainted and strangers stepped on the snow and walked towards Wuhe.

The next day, Mengyuan went out in a soft sedan chair, and first went to Hong's house to tell Caiyi.Caiyi is now a decent daughter-in-law, although she is not considered rich, she is living a happy life, leaning against the door with her belly up and looking forward, seeing Meng Yuan's shadow, she hastily shook the girl's hand and greeted her Holding Meng Yu's hand, "I was going to pay a visit during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I didn't want my stomach to be rumbling and the pain was so bad that I couldn't walk, so I just asked him to pay his respects. Have you seen him?"

"He met Zhang Ping in the study at that time, but I was busy there, but I didn't see him." Meng Yu stroked her belly, with a bit of envy in his eyes, "It's almost time for delivery, isn't it?"

"It's still early, next spring."

"The belly is so big?"

"It's two." Caiyi stretched out her hand to compare, her eyebrows were playful, and she still looked like a young girl.

Entering the house, Caiyi was so busy that she served tea and fruit, and dragged Mengdiao to see her house inside and out, chatting about her married life like a basket case.Finally, when it came to Mengyu, he raised his eyebrows, "I heard that brother Ping's sister has come to Jinan? How does she treat the girl? Seeing that the girl lives there, she didn't say anything, right?"

Meng Tiao smiled, went to sit on the couch, "Look, even you know that I live there very unruly, doesn't she think it? It's just that she doesn't say anything. She is a daughter of a famous family, and many embarrassing words don't matter. It’s just talking about it, and I’m so tired of it in my heart.”

As she spoke, she waved the silk nonchalantly, "Stop talking about that, I'm here to tell you that Zhang Ping and I are going to Hebei, and we'll be leaving in October."

Caiyi was startled, and hurriedly pulled a stool to sit in front of her, and held her hand tightly, "Then come back?"

Meng Tiao suddenly felt sad, smiled and shook his head, "What are you doing back here? When you arrive in Hebei, as soon as the court affairs are over, you have to go back to Beijing to report on your duties. If you are lucky, you will marry him in Beijing. If you are not lucky, I don’t know where I’m going to go.”

"Where is it going!" Caiyi flicked the silk, "Young lady must marry Brother Ping, it just depends on how many times he has waited for you?"

Isn't it, how many times he has waited for her.After careful calculation, he was always waiting for her, embracing a determination in doubt, never complaining about her timid uncertainty.
