Foster son and husband

Chapter 163 Water Pavilion
164 Water Pavilion
In a pavilion surrounded by water on three sides near Qiuhua Courtyard, Xu Junying and Meiniang stared at each other across a stone table. Meiniang said, "Before, I thought you looked like a gentleman, but you are so unbearable! What are you doing behind the door? When you see someone coming out, you don’t let him go, you...do you know that doing this is actually no different from a disciple who specializes in molesting women!"

The corners of Xu Junying's lips twitched slightly: "There are so many women and servants watching, you jumped out of it, if I didn't hug you, you would have fallen to the ground! How could I let my wife fall? No one will say that I am a disciple!"

Mei Niang touched her cheek, still slightly hot, this person is becoming more and more annoying: "You know in your heart, no one is your wife! If a servant girl jumped out of that door, she would also bump into you , you still have to embrace her..."

"nonsense!"

Xu Junying quickly interrupted her: "Am I such a blank person?"

Mei Niang ignored him, walked to the stone bench and sat down, mockingly said: "It should be a stunning girl, or cousin Zhuang, that will be considered happy!"

Xu Junying circled around in two steps and stretched out his hand towards her. Meiniang reacted quickly this time, stood up and turned around, and hid far away, but Xu Junying untied the jade belt around her waist, took off her outer robe and put it on the bed. The stone bench patted his hand and said:
"In this kind of weather, the rocks are still icy cold. Women should take care of their bodies and sit on cushions!"

Mei Niang blinked: "You know this? Who taught you?"

Xu Junying looked at her and said calmly: "Maybe I don't know a lot, I can learn, and I am willing to learn. I know what you said to the old lady just now is out of anger, but it really hurts people to hear it." ...It was my fault for treating Meiniang like that in the past, I was too impatient, if I could know her mind and predict what will happen next, I would never marry her!"

He retreated to the opposite side of the stone table, and gestured to Mei Niang to sit down: "Sit down for a while, I want to have a good talk with you today!"

Mei Niang went to the stone bench, said thank you, and sat on his robe unceremoniously.

I was also looking for an opportunity to have a good talk with him, but it was rare that he was so blessed that he proposed it himself.

Meiniang said: "Actually, I wasn't talking nonsense just now. Do you know Lin Runan? Qin Meiniang's best friend, she mentioned that Meiniang was very scared before she got married. She seems to have predicted that something bad will happen to your family. She is a woman from a real scholarly family. She is well-read in poetry and books, and she is smart. Xiucai, you are a soldier who doesn’t understand the style and robs women of the people by force! After you snatch them back, you don’t know how to be considerate, let them go at will, and then go to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Now you come back after becoming famous, and live in awe. Where is she? ? Her soul has drifted away to nowhere! Don’t you think it’s all thanks to you? As for Heng’er, you have no reason to blame her at all!”

Mei Niang uncovered Xu Junying's hidden wounds in her heart without mercy. Not only did she put all the responsibility on him, she also demoted him to nothing like she did in Jinhuatang just now, and Xu Junying's face suddenly became pale. Obscure and gloomy, his Adam's apple slid up and down a few times, and he said with some difficulty:
"I know I was wrong, and I will feel bad if I hurt her! I will respect and take care of my mother-in-law in the future. Heng'er is naturally my eldest son, so he will have everything that should be given to him... Can you let this matter go?"

Mei Niang nodded, then shook her head: "Respect and take care of your mother-in-law. If you want to go, you can go. If you don't go, no one will tell you. She has her own children and grandchildren to take care of, so don't worry about it! Heng'er...Heng'er is mine! He doesn't need to be your eldest son. As for Qin Meiniang, since you sincerely admit your mistake and don't blame her anymore, you will spend a lot of money to build a better dojo for her someday, and ask the Taoist to appease her so that she can go smoothly To be reborn is to do a good deed!"

Xu Junying looked at Mei Niang with some helplessness, she finished the words gently and deftly there, but she didn't know that some words were like knives, they wouldn't stop until they pierced him right through!

Mother-in-law should be respected, Heng'er is his eldest son, no one can change this!
Mei Niang saw that he was only looking at her, but kept silent, she lowered her head and adjusted the lavender robe on her body, and said:

"I'm wearing plain clothes today, can you see the flowers?"

To say that Xu Junying was dull, really did not wrong him. He couldn't hear Meiniang's implication, and still stared at her intently. Meiniang couldn't stand him, so she turned her face away, but she heard Xu Junying say slowly:

"Meimei, please be fair. You should know that I am not a rude warrior in Qin Meiniang's eyes. I am also a man who is affectionate and righteous, and knows how to love others! I have made contributions to Yu Guo, and I have no shame in Yu Family. I owe Meiniang this life. I hope to repay it. We are not the only ones alive in this world, and many things are out of my control. On the battlefield, in the central government, I will be on guard and suspect anyone, but I never think that my wife will be loved by my wife in my own home. The most respected people violate me, but I can't do anything to them, because I am their descendant, I must respect and support them, and I am not allowed to disobey..."

Mei Niang couldn't take it anymore, she waved her hand and shouted to stop: "Is there anything else to talk about? I'm impatient to hear about benevolence, filial piety and etiquette. I think in this life, the etiquette I know is enough!"

A smile appeared on Xu Junying's face: "Always talk so quickly, you don't annoy the elders in the family, it seems that you won't let it go-I think, at this time, I am a scholar, and you are a soldier!"

Mei Niang was startled: "How to solve it?"

"When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason! If you don't allow me to explain the reason and refuse to listen to my advice, that's what you call a rude soldier!"

Mei Niang smiled: "So, do you admit it? Soldiers all look like that, they can't wait to walk sideways!"

Xu Junying realized that he had been fooled, and said solemnly: "How can a decent soldier be so unbearable as you said? The army is strictly disciplined, and orders are strictly prohibited. Which soldier in the barracks is not restrained and free? Saying that a soldier doesn't recognize a few big characters is not arrogant. It’s not right to be reasonable, when there is no fighting in the barracks, there are also people who teach literacy and various skills, and the soldiers handle things neatly and without sloppiness... I have a chance to take you to the barracks outside the city and let you see it!"

"Forget it, the barracks are full of men, what's there to see!"

Seeing Cuixi's head outcropping behind a rockery not far away, Mei Niang took a picture here, and she couldn't help wondering: "What is this girl looking at? If she wants to come here, she will come here, and I want her to bring a pot of tea!"

Xu Junying clapped his hands, Baoju came out from another rockery, stopped five or six steps away from the pavilion, Xu Junying said: "Grandma is thirsty, let them bring tea!"

Mei Niang looked at several rockeries in the garden, and had a sudden thought: "At night, there is no one hiding behind every rockery, right?"

Xu Junying said: "It doesn't have to be behind the rockery, on the tree, or in the corner of the house, maybe there will be!"

Mei Niang shook her head, and said seriously: "Don't let them come to my room. I'll ask someone to install some traps tomorrow. When they come, I'll catch them like mice. Don't blame them if they get their feet pinched!"

"I live in the upper house, and they only watch from a distance, they won't get close!"

As Xu Junying said, the two eyes collided unintentionally, Mei Niang turned her eyes away as if nothing had happened, but Xu Junying blushed slightly for no reason, paused, and said softly:
"Meimei, it's three months, it seems that you are impatient to wait!"

Mei Niang turned back and looked at him calmly: "Why did you say that? I've always been patient, and I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere. It's only three months, three years is no problem!"

If something unexpected happens to your brother's family and forces your sister to leave, there is no other way!

The old lady was so annoyed by her just now, if she could still tolerate her, it would be a disaster, and Cen Meimei had no choice but to admit that she was unlucky.

Xu Junying suppressed her beating heart, swallowed the words she wanted to say, and said with a smile:
"That's good! I'll be very busy these days. Something happened to Wei Wang's fiefdom in the south. I have to go there on behalf of the emperor. It will take more than ten days to come back. You take Heng'er, stay at home, and go out as little as possible. Zhan and Baoju, stay at home!"

Meiniang was stunned for a moment: At the critical moment, what kind of bad did he do?The gift of marriage is about to come down.

"When will Lord Hou leave? Be sure to tell the old lady, she is angry with me today, you should go and see her later!"

With a smile on Xu Junying's lips, he pointed to the outside of the pavilion: "The tea is here!"

Cuixi came over with a pot of hot tea and put it on the table, poured a cup for each of them, and when she was about to turn around and leave, Xu Junying asked, "Why don't you get some refreshments?"

Cui Xifu said, "It's windy in spring, it's not good to eat snacks outside, and it will hurt your stomach if you breathe in the cold wind!"

Xu Junying smiled and nodded: "You grandma knows a lot!"

"I didn't say this, it's Mama Wang!" Meiniang was a little absent-minded: "It would be great if Master Hou can go again in three to five days!"

"But why?"

Seeing Mei Niang's appearance, Xu Junying seemed to be very reluctant for him to go out, and no matter what she really thought, she was in a good mood first.

Mei Niang tried her best to find some decent excuses: "The old lady is not well these few days, she coughs and wheezes when she gets angry, you should talk to her by the side, make her happy, or she will get better sooner! "

She understands the truth, it is self-willedness and unwillingness to give in, in order to achieve the goal, she does not hesitate to make the old lady angry, but pushes him up to coax him, it really makes people itch with hatred!Fortunately, he was prepared. Since the two people from the palace entered the mansion last night, Bao Ju has been following them, knowing why they came.Just now he took the pink-faced Mei Niang to leave in a hurry, there is no need to say anything, there are some women in the corridor who have made arrangements, and no one will say that the old man has come, as for what happened to the old lady after they left, he will tell you later can know.

Xu Junying deliberately said: "I'm busy outside, so you go to the old lady for me to do your filial piety for me if you have nothing to do. Didn't you make her very happy in the past? Why don't you put your heart into it now?"

Mei Niang was thinking about what to do when Xu Junying left. The unresolved matter is the most annoying thing, so she couldn't help answering the question:
"Today is the prince's third court! The queen must be recovering very well. I want to see her someday. By the way, why is the Hou not going to court today? What are you doing squatting at home so early in the morning?"

　The second watch arrives. . . . . .
