suspected wife

Yue Zhongyao came out after staying in Liu's house for less than a stick of incense.

He and Mother Liu sat silently.

One is that there are ghosts in his heart, and the other is that he is not good at words.

Yue Zhongyao thought for a long time, and organized his words for a long time, but he couldn't speak.Mother Liu's sentence: Mei Niang is living outside now.

It moved his heart.The unfinished words were swallowed back.

He braked the car just in time.

Maybe it's easy to get through the iron shoes, and it's him who is talking about it.

He got Mei Niang's address, left the gate of Liu's house and turned around to look for it.

Along the way, don't rush to go, and think about things slowly.

It's not that he doesn't know about Mei Niang's transformation.Before that, he guarded the gate of the yamen every day, waiting for him with a food box.It is said that the general food in the yamen is not good, and I cook it carefully in my own small stove, so I have to watch him finish eating before leaving.

How long has it been since I saw her appear at the gate of the yamen?

He doesn't even remember it himself.

When did the yamen servants at the gate stop teasing him?

Instead, every time he whispered, when he saw him coming, he pursed his lips and silenced.There were also quite a few people who cast sympathetic glances at him.

He didn't understand it before, but now he vaguely understands it.

Arriving at this exquisite small courtyard, my heart became clearer.

He also worked as a policeman in Qingchuan County for a year, which street or alley he didn't know?

This is the private house of Zheng Yuan, the youngest son of Da Lao Yuan, the county magistrate.Ordinary people do not know.But he couldn't hide it from him who was a fast catcher in the Yamen.

Hearing the co-pao in the yamen say vaguely, this private house has changed several mistresses.

I don't know how many times Mei Niang is.

Zheng Yuan.Although Yue Zhongyao was not familiar with him, he saw him often.He also knows the situation in the magistrate's home very well.

This Zheng Yuan was the youngest son of the magistrate of Zheng County, and also the youngest son of Mrs. Zheng, who grew up in the palm of his hand.

The eldest son of the magistrate of Zheng County married a capable wife, supported by the Yue family, and now he is the county magistrate elsewhere.The youngest son had only passed Tongsheng and failed the exams, so the magistrate of Zheng wanted to donate an official to the youngest son.

However, he didn't have much windfall at hand, so he found Zheng Yuan the daughter of a wealthy family.When getting married.Bringing a dowry that lay out for several streets.

The magistrate of Zheng County relied on this young daughter-in-law for seeking officials and getting money out of the country.Therefore, the Zhengzhi County couple did not dare to put people in the children's room.

But this Zheng Yuan is also a flirtatious and talented person, facing the same woman at home every day, even the bird's nest and shark's fin are boring.

Zheng Yuan's wife is from a merchant family, and she married into an official's family, so she is regarded as a high climber.So as long as Zheng Yuan doesn't drag people home.She doesn't care.So Zheng Yuan built a house outside to accommodate the woman he liked.

Yue Zhongyao didn't know when the two fell in love with each other.

He only knew that when he came here, he saw this alley that he had patrolled several times before, his body was light and heavy, and he couldn't tell what emotion it was.

Yue Zhongyao didn't know whether to knock on the door or not.

It's not easy for him to get in as a foreigner, right?

He lingered for a while.Only then did I see a little girl open the courtyard door and step out with a basket on one foot.

"Who are you?" The little girl was halfway inside the door.paused and asked.

"Oh, I'm... I'm..." Yue Zhongyao felt embarrassed for a while.

The little girl Liu Mei stood upside down: "Who are you? What are you going to do when you go back and forth in front of other people's houses?"

Yue Zhongyao blushed, not knowing how to report.

After thinking for a while, he asked anxiously: "This house, is there a lady named Liu living in this house?"

The little girl looked him up and down suspiciously.

"Are you my wife's relative or my master's friend?"

Yue Zhongyao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her and said, "Your wife's surname is Liu. Your master's surname is Zheng, isn't it? I know them all. You can report it for me. Just say my surname is Yue, your wife's natal family The address given by my mother."

After hearing what he said, the little girl looked him up and down again, seeing that he didn't look like a bad person, so she put the basket on her arm, turned around and pushed the door with the other hand.

"Wait!"

After speaking, he stepped back in, and the courtyard door was also tightly closed.

Yue Zhongyao waited outside for a while before he heard footsteps.

"My wife let you in." It was that little girl just now.

Yue Zhongyao thanked him, pondered for a while, then raised his legs and stepped in.

The yard is neither big nor small, visually it should look like three entrances.The scenery is not bad.Along the way, there are shadow wall corridors, rockery and boulders, surrounded by green trees and flowers. Living here is pleasant and pleasing to the eye.

It can't be compared with the small courtyard where the cramped common people live together.

Liu Meiniang was standing at the entrance of the flower hall waiting for him.

Tingting Yuli, the hairpin is towering, and the gems on the hair are shining.The goose-yellow long skirt with golden flowers scattered all over the place, the willow slender waist, unstoppable, with bright eyes and bright wrists, stood on the steps and smiled at Yue Zhongyao.

Yue Zhongyao was stunned when he saw it, and he couldn't recognize it for a while.

There is no trace of the past.

"Mei, Mei Niang?"

Liu Meiniang burst out laughing.He stared at Yue Zhongyao and said with a smile: "Brother Yue doesn't recognize Mei Niang anymore? It's been a long time since we saw each other."

Yue Zhongyao was slightly embarrassed.

Without moving, he asked, "But it's convenient?"

Liu Meiniang smiled and nodded: "It's convenient. There are girls and women in the yard, and there are a few maids next to you. Besides, he knows about you."

Yue Zhongyao looked at her blankly: "He, he knows?"

Liu Meiniang nodded and said, "Come in and sit down. Don't you want to stand there all the time?"

Only then did Yue Zhongyao follow her into the flower hall.

Several maids were well-trained, and they served hot tea and tea fruit snacks in a short while.Backed away quietly.

Only the two maids brought by Liu Meiniang stood quietly behind her with their mouths pursed.

Liu Meiniang followed Yue Zhongyao's gaze, turned her head to look sideways, and said with a smile: "It's all arranged by the young master. There are four maids who serve her personally and are extremely dedicated."

Yue Zhongyao nodded.I didn't know what to say for a while, so I just brought tea to eat.

"Have you met my mother?" Liu Meiniang looked at the man opposite, sighed, and asked.

Yue Zhongyao put down his teacup and nodded.

The two said a few more words about the Liu family and Liu mother.

"In a few days, my mother and younger brother will also move out. The son said that there are too many people living there, and it is not convenient for my younger brother to study. When he finds a house in a few days, let them move there."

Yue Zhongyao nodded.

After a while, he said hesitantly: "Magistrate Zheng said that he will be transferred to another place for this term only, and then..."

Liu Meiniang smiled and said: "He must have been promoted. Isn't that great? Young Master said, as long as I serve him well, he will always let me stay by his side in the future."

After a pause, he continued: "The man in the mansion doesn't dare to make trouble outside. As long as I don't enter the mansion, it's fine. The young master only has one daughter now. If in the future... no matter if it's a man or a woman, it's fine to have children by his side. Whether you can enter or not It doesn’t matter if you live in the mansion. You can’t do without our food and drink. Although you can’t study well, you are still kind and righteous..."

After hearing this, Yue Zhongyao didn't know what to say.

He wanted to say that this is not the path that a serious woman should take, and she is ashamed of her parents' teaching.He is also ashamed of what her father entrusted him with.

but……

The woman in front of her seemed very satisfied with everything in front of her.

It's only been a while, and she's already acting like a family member of an official's family.

Liu Meiniang looked at him with a troubled face, and said again: "Brother Yue, don't worry. I am living a very good life now, and this period of time is the most comfortable I have lived in the past ten years. Doing homework, paddle washing, embroidery... the work in the kitchen is also done, chopping wood and lighting the fire... just to get a few copper coins. I have suffered from others' eyes. My mother is looking for connections and giving money to get a job. People nodded and bowed their heads, and they were reluctant to eat and drink even if they got some money, just to save up to buy a knife for my brother..."

Glancing at Yue Zhongyao, he said again: "I know my father entrusted us to you, and you can't bear it. But my father loves us, he knows you have a family, and he definitely didn't ask you to divorce your wife and marry me. You don't want to It's my mother's fault, she hasn't been in good health for the past two years, and what she did in the past was for me and my brother, and I hope we have something to rely on in the future."

He said again: "People like us have no relatives or reasons in Qingchuan County, and no one will help them. Good people also look down on me. Brother Yue is the best candidate. It's just..."

Yue Zhongyao listened quietly, seeing that she stopped and looked at her steadily.

Liu Meiniang smiled, and said: "I have seen Brother Yue's struggles this year. Sister-in-law is a good person, she looks better than me, she has a good temper, and she can read and write. After waiting for Brother Yue four In [-], I raised my daughter for Brother Yue. I thought so before, thinking of replacing her... I was wrong. I shouldn't be so selfish."

"In these years, my mother, my younger brother and I have depended on each other for life. My younger brother is the last hope of my parents. Not only does he need money for his study, but in the future he must have contacts to help him move around. We, he are not much better than now."

Liu Meiniang looked at Yue Zhongyao fixedly, and said: "So Mr. Zheng is more suitable than Brother Yue."

Yue Zhongyao opened his mouth, but really didn't know what to say.

It took a long time before he said: "But you are like this now... you can't live outside all the time in the future. Even if you have a child in the future, you are not afraid... Are you afraid that the child will blame you?"

Liu Meiniang's eyes were firm: "I'm not afraid. Everyone has their own way to go. He was reincarnated into me, so he had to be prepared to be scolded by others. If my younger brother is promising in the future, maybe our mothers will also have their own way." It will be easier. I don’t fight or snatch, I just want to have a comfortable life and have no worries about food and clothing, which doesn’t hinder other people’s way.”

Yue Zhongyao heard that Liu Meiniang seemed to have made up her mind and arranged her future and future affairs, but she didn't know what to say.

He thought about making a break.But I never thought it would end like this.

He thought of helping his benefactor take care of their family, so that Liu Youcai could read and read, so that the two of them would have food, food and clothing. In the future, Liu Meiniang would marry a good family, have a husband and son, and live a smooth life.

But not now.
