Brocade tears

On the ninth day of November, the snowstorm had stopped, and under the thin and weak sunlight, a team of 200 Jinyi guards arrived outside the west gate of Kuandian Fort when the sun was rising.From afar, Chen Danggui with extraordinary eyesight saw someone waiting at the gate of the city.He reported to Guo Dayou, Meng Kuang on the side also heard it, and moved a little closer, Meng Kuang saw the person at the door clearly, and was overjoyed.

"It's my brother and Xiao Yan!" She happily said to Sui'er and Guo Dayou beside her.

"Hurry up and go." Guo Dayou said with a smile.

Meng Kuang hurriedly led Sui'er to ride the horse forward, and quickly arrived outside the west gate.Because of the previous greeting, the defenders at the west gate of Fort Kuandian did not stop them.Meng Kuang and Sui Er got off their horses at the west gate, and hurried to the front of their family members.Looking at the second elder brother who has become much stronger and darker skinned, the joyful Meng Yan, and the smiling Bai Yuyin and Luo Daochang, she couldn't restrain her feelings and hugged her family members one by one, Sui Er He also secretly wiped tears behind her, and was hugged by Bai Yuyin and Meng Ai.

"You guys came here sooner than I thought." Meng Kuang said.

"We were protected by the princess's team along the way, and we encountered army guards later on. We followed Li Rusong's vanguard army." Meng Zixiu explained.

"Ah Qing, guess who we met..." Bai Yuyin said with a smile.

Without waiting for Meng Kuang to guess, she pointed backwards, and Meng Kuang realized that there was a young general in light armor standing not far away. She recognized him quickly and couldn't help but blurt out his name:

"Director Zhan Yuzhan?"

"That's right, it's Zhan Yu. He is now a member of the Vanguard Army. When we passed Shanhaiguan, we met him, and we have been walking with his Vanguard Army ever since." Bai Yuyin further explained .

Meng Kuang came forward to say hello, but Zhan Yu didn't know her identity yet, and she didn't intend to let him know for the time being, so Meng Kuang didn't speak when greeting her.She patted Zhan Yu's shoulder very enthusiastically. Zhan Yu was not surprised to see Meng Kuang, but showed a trace of joy, and bowed his hands respectfully. After all, the person in front of him was Meng Yan's "brother" whom he knew. .

"Commander Zhan... oh no, you are General Zhan now. Long time no see, don't be in trouble." Sui'er greeted Meng Kuang on her behalf.

"Thank you Miss Sui'er for your concern, Zhan Yu is fine."

After saying hello, a group of people entered the city first.Zhan Yu led the way at the front, while Meng Zixiu and Daoist Luo brought Meng Kuang to tell about their experiences along the way. Meng Kuang was not comfortable talking now, so he could only listen to them.And Bai Yuyin, Meng Yan, and Sui'er followed behind. Bai Yuyin was whispering about Meng Yan and Zhan Yu to Sui'er, and Meng Yan was listening helplessly.While listening, Sui'er observed Zhan Yu who was walking alone in front, and Meng Yan who was beside him.Seeing that the two seemed to be deliberately avoiding each other's gaze, but were inadvertently looking at each other, Sui'er raised her eyebrows slightly, smiling calmly.

They were led to the inn where everyone was temporarily staying, and Zhan Yu left first, and he had to pick up Guo Dayou's team that was coming later. As an outsider, it was inconvenient for him to disturb other people's family reunion .

Sui'er was dragged to Meng Ai's house by Bai Yuyin. Meng Ai knew that she could not avoid this disaster today, and her two sisters-in-law wanted to "interrogate" her.Seeing that Sui'er was suddenly pulled away by Bai Yuyin, Meng Kuang was at a loss. He was about to go with him, but Daoist Luo slapped him on the shoulder and said:

"Ah Qing, don't go, come with us."

"But..." But I'm also a woman, why don't the sisters let me go to the meeting?Meng Kuang couldn't say this.

"I have something to discuss with you." Meng Zixiu looked a little serious, and Meng Kuang was even more confused, but he could only follow his second brother into his and Bai Yuyin's room.

……

"Okay, Xiao Ai, I've told you, Sister Xiaosui, what I should say. I'm not wrong." Bai Yuyin looked at Meng Ai and said.

Meng Yan shook her head, and Bai Yuyin described the current state of her and Zhan Yu objectively.

"So, sister Sui'er, look, what should we do with these two people?" Bai Yuyin looked at Sui'er again and said.

Sui'er looked at Meng Ai with a smile, and said after a while, "Xiao Ai, are you worried about something?"

Meng Yan looked at Sui'er, hesitated to speak, lowered his head, and clasped his hands tightly.

"First, you feel that you and Zhan Yu have not reached that point yet. Second, you know that we will not go back when we come to Liaodong this time, and we will disappear. Zhan Yu has a bright future, and you don't want to delay him , you don't even think he will participate in this plan. In a word, you think there is no future between you and Zhan Yu, right?" Sui Er said sharply.

Meng Yan's face gradually lost its color, and the worries hidden in her heart were suddenly uncovered by such straightforward words, and she realized that her heart would hurt because of this.

"Alas..." Bai Yuyin sighed, why didn't she understand Xiao Nuan's thoughts, every time she saw Xiao Nuan subconsciously avoiding Zhan Yu, her heart ached.The second point Sui Er said was the huge contradiction before her. She was very sad why the relationship between the three brothers and sisters of the Meng family was so difficult.She and Meng Zixiu reunited after seven years, almost separated by yin and yang.Meng Qing and Sui'er have been separated for nine years. After Sui'er came back, what awaited them was one after another of hardships, and it is rare to be peaceful and stable.Now Meng Yan and Zhan Yu are in a painful situation where there is no relationship.The reason why Bai Yuyin often smiles and deliberately teases Meng Ai is because she really hopes that Meng Ai can muster up the courage, stop having so many scruples, and have a good love.For the three brothers and sisters of the Meng family, although they have gone through hardships, fortunately, all three of them have met the person they really love in this life. will be better.

Don't think about it so much, love first, then talk, life is too short to be missed, if you can't grasp the love, God will punish you, how many years have been squandered, if you can meet again, it will be considered God Open your eyes, most of them are just helpless flowers.This is Bai Yuyin's selfishness, and it is also the truest voice of her heart along the way.

Sui'er frowned, and said slowly, "Xiao Ai...your sister and I used to have a lot of worries, even mutual suspicion. But if there is true love, it will make you reluctant to let go and prompt you to hold on to it." Open your heart and show it to each other, and you will gradually learn to accept everything about each other and make sacrifices for each other. The deeper the relationship, the more you can sacrifice for each other. The relationship is between the two of you, although I I'm close to you, but I can't solve this problem for you. Whether you love it or not is the first thing you need to figure out, and after knowing your heart, how to choose is not just a matter of you alone, but also Zhan Yu You can't make decisions for him."

Looking at Meng Yan's confused face, Sui'er finally added:

"No matter what choice you make, we will support you."

Bai Yuyin also nodded.

"But... if I choose him, I will never see... never see you again..." Meng Yan burst into tears.When she cried, Bai Yuyin's and Sui'er's eyes turned red, Sui'er choked up slightly and comforted:

"Silly girl, how could it be... There is always a way, don't be so extreme. Didn't I say that Zhan Yu has to make a choice, you can't make the decision for him."

"If he really chooses me, then his future...wouldn't I be guilty of a crime." Meng Yan's tears became more and more violent, so that he covered his face and spoke intermittently.

"What's the crime? An individual has a personal choice. That's his choice. He is willing to do this for you." Bai Yuyin sobbed, with a hint of anger, and was timid.

"It's too difficult, I don't know how to choose..." Meng Yan covered his face and said helplessly.

It's better...it's better not to start.

……

In Mencius Xiu's house, Meng Kuang frowned and remained silent.Daoist Luo just stood by the window and looked at the ice edge under the eaves without saying a word. Mencius sat opposite Meng Kuang, looked at her and said:

"Look, something has changed in our plan. Should we let Zhan Yu join in? Can he be trusted? He is the nephew of the second assistant Zhang Wei. Now Li Rusong has taken a fancy to him, and Zhang Wei is also working on it. Support and train him. He has a bright future, how could such a young man have anything to do with our family?"

"What does Xiao Ai mean?" Meng Kuang asked in a low voice.

"She's afraid." Mencius said softly, "She understands the stakes in her heart, so she doesn't dare to bet. You know this child, who never fights or grabs since childhood, has a temper as warm as water. Let her do it for her My own feelings have delayed all of our plans, and she would not do such a thing if she was killed. She would rather stay far away from Zhan Yu, and never have any contact with him again in this life. "

"Then does she have feelings for Zhan Yu?" Meng Kuang continued to ask.

"Can you say no? But she won't show it. Now Yuyin and Sui'er are probably asking this question, but will she admit it? We can't open her heart to see, I think even her I don’t even think about it myself.” Meng Zixiu said in a bad mood.

"What about Zhan Yu and Xiao Ai?"

"Him? It's quite obvious. Because Xiao Ai avoided his performance, he was timid and didn't dare to get close. It seems that he has true feelings... But people will always change. If our plan is not for people who are determined How can we get him to join? If he agrees right now, and later changes his mind because he can't bear the poor life of seclusion, and exposes our existence, the risk is too great."

Sitting on the armchair, Meng Kuang leaned over slowly, propped his elbows on his legs, arched his back and looked at the ground in front of him.After a while, he said slowly:

"In these years, Xiao Ai has almost never cared about her own affairs, and has always been dedicated to this family. If the Meng family hadn't had her, it would have collapsed. Because of her, I sold it to Jin Yiwei You, your brother who has been wandering outside, also has a home to go back to. I have been anxious about her marriage, and asked her if she is willing, but she always said that she did not want to marry, and that her brothers and sisters were both How could she take the lead if she didn't find anything. Now, she finally met someone who made her fall in love, how can we break up this marriage?"

"Ah Qing...what do you mean..."

"Brother, they must be in love. When they left Beijing a few months ago, at the gate of the city, Zhan Yu chased after the carriage and shouted to Xiao Nuan, 'Wait for me, I will definitely find you', Xiao Nuan's love at that time The expression is indescribable, I have never seen it on her face. But I have seen such an expression on Sui Er's face. When we expressed our hearts to each other, she had that expression. We all saw that expression at that time , That's why sister-in-law is trying so hard to facilitate them." She raised her eyes to Meng Zixiu and said,

"Brother, she is our favorite little sister, how can we let her be wronged at all? She is afraid and can't make a choice, so we will help her make a choice. This is what brothers and sisters should do. The plan needs to be prepared with both hands. Regarding Zhan Yu, we can't give up easily. I will find a way to investigate him, and I believe he can prove to me that he is credible."

Mencius hesitated to speak, but Meng Kuang's words "she is our favorite little sister" shook his heart.

Luo Daochang finally turned around from the window, his face hidden in the darkness, and said in a deep voice:

"Chang Rong, you are not as transparent as Ah Qing in this matter, so just do as she says. After all, there is still a way to get to the bottom of it. If you can't try it, don't try it. Otherwise, how can you, an older brother, be worthy of Xiao Ai?"

Mencius looked at Daoist Luo and finally nodded.
