Chapter 84 You Are Emotional
In a rare cold winter, snowstorms spread across the entire Zhou Dynasty, affecting many civilians, and Qingshui Village in Nanping Mountain was no exception.

Compared with the carved eaves and painted houses of wealthy families in the city, the structure of the villagers' houses is much simpler, and the poorer families live in thatched houses.

It snowed for a month and the sheepfold of the Li family in the west of the village was crushed, and the kitchen of the Chen family in the south of the village was crushed... To say that the most severely affected in the village was the Qi family in the east of the village. .

There were only three rooms in the main house, but two and a half rooms collapsed. The most terrible thing was that the roof collapsed in the middle of the night, and the whole family was asleep.This resulted in a tragedy of two deaths and two injuries.

Shen Yanhan heard the bad news the next morning.

When Aunt Li came to deliver the goat milk she had ordered, she frowned and said, "Ms. Shen, thank you for renovating this house. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be some losses. My sheepfold is not of use, so just give it to Most of the Qi family was destroyed, and the Qi family was even more miserable...Have you heard? Brother Qi is gone, and his mother is gone too. Sister-in-law Qi and Qi San were injured. Fortunately, nothing happened to Qi San's new wife... …”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanhan's heart dropped, and he immediately left the gate of Qiuwang Garden, stood by the door and looked down.Sure enough, I saw a crowd of people in the direction of Qi's house, half a mile away, and there were faint sounds of crying.

After Aunt Li babbled and left, Shen Yanhan asked Mu Jin to go to Qi's house together.

They all live in the east end of the village, and probably both have the surname Qi. When Qi Yun was alive, the Qi family's aunt had a good relationship with Qi Yun. After Qi Yun passed away and was buried, Aunt Qi and his wife helped a lot.

Shen Yanhan has never forgotten these kindnesses.

Seeing two coffins placed in the Qi family, the injured Aunt Qi and Qi San sat on the thatch in the snow and cried. Qi San's daughter-in-law Liu Yan stood aside with a big belly. Shen Yanhan repaid her kindness and invited them. Come and stay in Qiuwang Garden first.

Aunt Qi, who really had no place for her, did not refuse Shen Yanhan's invitation and accepted it with tears in her eyes.

In this way, the only two vacant rooms in Qiuwang Garden were occupied by the three members of the Qi family.

No one knew that Meng Changqing would suddenly come as a guest. In the evening, the sky was dark. When Meng Changqing appeared with his guards, Shen Yanhan, Mu Jin and Liu Yan were busy in the kitchen.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Someone knocked on the door of Qiuwang Garden, and the quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken.

After a while, the courtyard door opened wide.

Meng Changqing, who was the leader, raised his legs and walked into Qiuwang Garden. He patted the snow on the hem of his robe with the folding fan in his hand. He lowered his head and his eyes fell on the hem of his robe that was stained with many mud marks. He kept complaining: "My personality." Darling, this snow is really free. It's all over the mountains and roads. Qin Yuehuai, get me some of your clean clothes quickly. I can't stand it being so dirty."

Qin Yuehuai was reading in the room. When he heard Meng Changqing's voice outside, he just paused and continued to turn to the next page.

"Why are you here?" Cai Xizhu looked up at him.

Meng Changqing paused in his slapping movements, then looked up at Cai Xizhu and asked her with a smile: "Why can't I come?"

Cai Xizhu was embarrassed by his question and was about to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, Meng Changqing stretched out a hand and put it directly on her shoulder. He leaned half of his body against her and said, "My leg is injured, help me in quickly." .”

There was a smile in his eyes, and he was not serious at all. It was obvious at a glance that he was joking and not serious.

Cai Xizhu avoided his eyes that made it easy to get caught in them, and turned her head so as not to look at him. However, she did not push him away, and even asked cooperatively: "How did you get hurt?"

Lang Jun's hand on her shoulder tightened, he laughed and said, "Guess."

Cai Xizhu's heart was beating like thunder. She opened her mouth and said an answer casually: "Is the road too slippery?"

"Not bad." Meng Changqing smiled again, the laughter was low and mellow, filling the ears and touching people's hearts.

Cai Xizhu's little face turned redder and redder, and Meng Silang's pressure on her shoulders increased instead of decreasing, pulling the distance that was not much away until it disappeared. From a distance, he looked like he was holding her in his arms.

Cai Xizhu muttered almost inaudibly: "Don't press me like this, I will fall."

Meng Changqing didn't hear clearly, and then put his ear close to Cai Xizhu's lips, "What did you say?"

Cai Xizhu's nose was filled with his cold, rose-scented fragrance. Looking at his handsome profile and protruding Adam's apple, she felt lost for a moment.

She had heard of rose dew originating from the Great Food Country. A small bottle was worth a thousand pieces of gold and could not be owned by ordinary people.

Like Meng Changqing, a gentleman.

She didn't answer. In the blink of an eye, Meng Changqing grabbed her chin and said, "You want me to guess? I've never beaten you in betting, Zhuzhu."

His movements were intimate, and there was an indescribable smile in his eyes. When the word "Zhuzhu" came out of his mouth, it had a lingering and affectionate meaning for no reason.

It was like she had been waiting for a long time to call him.

When Cai Xizhu was fascinated by his actions and words, a familiar stern voice came from behind her——

"Zhuzhu, what are you doing?"

Cai Xizhu shrank in Meng Changqing's arms and her little body trembled. Almost instantly, she pushed Meng Changqing away from her, turned around, and whispered: "Daddy."

Meng Changqing turned around and met a pair of eyes that looked like he wanted to eat him alive.

Cai Yu's eyebrows were stern, and his face was solemn. He looked straight at Meng Changqing and asked, "Who is your Excellency?" He spoke with great momentum, not like a country doctor, but like those knowledgeable and understanding people in the court. A man of officialdom.

To be honest, even if Cai Yu is not so imposing, but is just an ordinary old farmer, and being caught by someone with his daughter in his arms, Meng Changqing's face would be somewhat disgraceful.

Their eyes met, Meng Changqing raised his folding fan, bowed his hands, and said to Cai Yu in a gentle manner that he had never seen before: "The fourth son of the Meng family, Changqing, has met Mr. Cai."

Cai Yu looked at him and asked, "From the Duke of Qi's residence?"

Meng Changqing was surprised to reveal his identity at once, and he nodded towards Cai Yu.

Cai Yu didn't say anything more. He turned to look at Cai Xizhu and said sternly: "Go home now. After weighing [-] taels of perilla leaves, [-] taels of pine pollen, and [-] taels of agrimony, ask the stones to be brought to me. ." Shitou is a ten-year-old orphan that Cai Yu picked up just last month.Cai Xizhu puffed up her face and wanted to ask, "Can't I send it to you?", but when she saw Cai Yu's strong eyes that didn't allow her to discuss for a moment, she finally swallowed the words back in her stomach, and reluctantly stepped up and left Qiuwang. Garden door.

Meng Changqing watched Cai Xizhu walk home dejectedly. Without thinking deeply, he knew that if he hadn't hugged her just now, her father would not have driven her back like this.

Rarely, Meng Changqing felt a little guilty.

Cai Yu looked at the way his eyes fell on his only daughter, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his lips and asked, "Does Meng Silang have feelings for my little girl?"

Meng Changqing choked.

How should Meng Changqing answer such a compelling question?
Yes or no, neither is appropriate, right?

Meng Changqing pressed down on his little heart, which was banged by someone, and asked in a pretentious manner: "What do you mean by Mr. Cai's words?"

"Meng Silang has a distinguished status, is romantic, and is the dream man of many ladies in Lin'an." Cai Yupi said with a genuine smile, and the next words were an obvious warning: "But you should not provoke people who should not be provoked. Yes. There is a difference between Jing and Wei, so it should be obvious. Is what I said correct?"

In the end, it was because of his behavior that he was a little unreasonable. Meng Changqing said yes bravely.

Cai Yu didn't stop at the entrance of Qiu Wangyuan. He carried his medicine box and walked towards Nishijima.

Meng Changqing watched Cai Yu push open the door of the house he lived in last time and then closed it again. He had a very ominous premonition in his heart. He didn't care whether the hem of his robe was wet or dirty, so he hurried to Qin Yuehuai's house. study.

But in the end he got the bad news that there were no available rooms.

"What? It's snowing heavily, Qin Yuehuai, you have the nerve to drive me away? Why didn't I drive you away when you lived in my Lanyuan? With your hospitality!" Meng Changqing was anxious.

Qin Yuehuai put down the book in his hand, slowly stood up and walked to his side, raised his hand to press his shoulder, and said coolly: "Meng Si, in my opinion, it would be better for you to appear less under Dr. Cai's nose. .”

Really, this is almost to say that you are not liked by others.

Meng Changqing's eyes flashed.

It can be said that as he has grown up, he has always been pursued and praised by others. He has been treated coldly twice in a day. Today is the first time.

Meng Changqing paused for a moment, then stretched out his leg and kicked Qin Yuehuai's leg, "Did you hear that? With your ears, you must have heard the whole thing!"

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was so angry that he had lost his grace.

Qin Yuehuai reacted very quickly and jumped back. Instead of refuting his words, she straightened the wrinkled hem of her robe and said calmly: "I seem to remember that Jiao Jiao said a while ago that Madam Cai was talking to Someone is proposing a marriage, what a coincidence, guess which family Lady Cai is proposing to marry from?"

Meng Changqing looked at him with a dark face and said nothing.

Qin Yuehuai rarely talked more, so he took the initiative to say to Meng Changqing: "Li Zejin."

Meng Changqing's brows immediately frowned.

Li Zejin, Li Silang, the most spirited fourth cousin of his aunt Wang Wan.As the name suggests, he is radiant, well-dressed and well-fed.Although they are all from the Li family, unlike Li Jiahao who can be seen as arrogant and tacky wherever he goes, Li Zejin is gentle, smart and calm, and is also a good businessman.He had even vaguely heard of it, as if he was preparing for the imperial examination...

Don't talk about the future, just focus on temperament. The marriage between the calm and considerate husband and the innocent Cai Xizhu is actually considered a match.

Meng Changqing's frown became tighter and tighter.

Qin Yuehuai raised his eyebrows, pushed the other person out of the door, and said with a serious look on his face: "It's getting late, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible to find a place to live, whether it's your village, or go back to Lin'an Mansion That’s right, after all, you have more than one close friend, so don’t mess with people you shouldn’t mess with.”

Meng Changqing's handsome face fell completely instantly.

He still said harshly: "Whoever provokes me will offend me!"

Qin Yuehuai snorted coldly.

When it comes to the matter between Meng Changqing and Cai Xizhu, it is really difficult to escape Qin Yuehuai's light eyes that can see through the truth.

When Qin Yuehuai returned to Lanyuan from Liu Qi's house that day, Shen Yanhan, who woke up after sleeping for most of the night, said to him, "Why are all of them not here tonight?" He later asked Shen Yanhan pretending to be unintentional Why did she say this? It turned out that when she went to look for Cai Xizhu, she searched most of Lanyuan but could not find Mrs. Cai.

Lan Yuan said it was either small or big. He could easily find out where Meng Changqing stayed that night by asking a few servants about the route they took to deliver the wine that night.

To be honest, he was shocked when he learned that Mrs. Cai also stayed in that room that night.Fortunately, we later found out from the side that the two of them had not really made it.

But just like that, he couldn't relax for a breath.

It was true that Meng Changqing often lingered in Fireworks and Willow Alley, but he knew that the sad past that redeemed people but could not be kept, Meng Zijian's heart never opened again.

He doesn't touch good girls, and he never touches a flower girl who hasn't accepted a guest. In the final analysis, it's just lust, and he doesn't want to be responsible or careless.

But he lived in the same room with Madam Cai...

The situation may be worse.

Qin Yuehuai's heavy eyes stared at Meng Changqing's face, and he repeated Cai Yu's words carefully: "Are you in love with Madam Cai?"

 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, my dears!
