Qi Heju finally found Jiang Mengzhen's dowry back. Jiang Mengzhen looked at the ancient paintings on the porcelain vase on the table, but he didn't know who he was so troubled for. Qi Heju's feelings have always been a mystery to him. Jiang Mengzhen still doesn't know why Qi Heju married him in the first place. His husband has hidden too many things in his heart. He is afraid of being laughed at and underestimated, so he still refuses to confess.

"Put things away."

Bi Yan stomped her feet and said, "Let's just forget about it?"

"...Otherwise, what else can I do?" Jiang Mengzhen said lightly: "If the second young master doesn't believe that Xiao Hua stole, I can still argue one or two, but now he knows that Xiao Hua is wrong, so he just wants to ignore right and wrong Favoritism, we really don’t need to make fun of ourselves.”

"Second young master is simply obsessed with ghosts. He gave him a big banquet for his birthday, and redeemed it with his official salary. How much money is left on him? The grace of saving life is really useful. I just hold on to this matter and ask for money. Money needs someone to give it to someone, and if you don’t agree, it’s ungrateful—do you have to pay him his life to pay it back? If you say this, the young master also saved the son’s life, how should we pay it back?”

"Everything has a cause and effect, and the debts owed must be paid off. Although my cousin has passed away, I have been paying back what I owed him, and I have been paying back to the present situation with the second young master..."

"My lord, you should read less Buddhist scriptures." Bi Yan pointed to a pile of scriptures on the table and sighed, "The wife of a wealthy family often builds a Buddhist temple at the age of four or fifty to recite and copy scriptures. You are only two years old. In my early teens, I also read these things about karma and reincarnation and cultivating the afterlife, and I have changed my temperament. Is it possible that I can really cultivate a golden body that is immortal? I really became a 'Guanyin'!"

"It's just seeking some wisdom for liberation. Is it for becoming a Buddha or an immortal? My heart is very confused, and I can only calm down when I copy the scriptures." When people are helpless, they will always look for some mysterious explanations to talk about themselves/ Consolation, the wife who is old and decrepit, sees her husband is accompanied by young brothers and sisters who are as young as flower bones, so she can only hide in the Buddhist hall to seek to be pure from seeing. It is a pity that Jiang Meng's pillow is only twenty In his early days, he had a beautiful face like a flower and moon, and he also had the same state of mind. He let down the infinite spring scenery outside the window for nothing, and turned the warm and fragrant nest into a lonely Buddhist hall.

"My lord, this is just delivered from outside." Jiang Xiang turned into the door and handed the letter in her hand to Jiang Mengzhen. Jiang Mengzhen glanced at it, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a car and go out.

The door of the tea room was gently pushed open, Wu Xichun raised his head and said with a smile: "You are here, this pot of cloud and mist is at the right time."

"What mystery are you making?" Jiang Mengzhen went and sat down opposite him, "Go directly to my house, and make such a detour."

Wu Xichun shook his head, "Now that I'm a street rat, I can almost be called notorious, why bother to trouble you again? Are those people in your house easy to get along with?"

"Let them talk and talk. Even if I don't do anything, they also want to talk. A group of right and wrong people, who want to make trouble even if they have nothing to do."

"This is strange. In the past, you never said anything wrong with the Qi family. Could it be that something happened in his family again, which made you, Guan Yin, angry?"

"Actually, it has nothing to do with his family. I live with the second young master. In the past, in order to have a good time with the second young master, I was willing to be patient and respectful to his family. Now...my heart is getting colder every day. It seems that one day, I no longer want to bother to maintain those favors." Jiang Mengzhen took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes and said: "Over the years, when I look at the people and things in the house, they don't see me as a family, Even the second young master, it's just a surname with the same character on it...so I always have a pity for the second young master in my heart, as long as we are dependent on each other, so what if we don't see our parents-in-law and sister-in-law? But now the second young master's heart is directed towards others, and when I endured it, I lost my previous state of mind. With a change in my mentality, I really feel that being with these people for a moment is a torment."

"I understand what you mean. When people like you and I marry into my husband's family, how can I do anything to his family? It's just that I value this person, otherwise why should I suffer this crime! I have been married to An Zhiyuan for more than five years. To write a new poem, he spends all his time in the back house with his two stepmothers and several younger siblings, spending all his time on it, and spending a lot of money on it——I was full of satisfaction for him at the time, I felt happy when I helped him, why did I ever care about the gains and losses? Now that I think about it, I really want to give myself two mouths!"

Jiang Mengzhen sighed softly, "In my opinion, An Zhiyuan will regret it sooner or later..."

"I don't think so. I heard that he is going to marry Li Qingluo," Wu Xichun said with a sneer, "The man just opened his mouth and came here. When he saved me, he kept saying that he didn't want Li Qingluo anymore. I just said that he is definitely not the kind of desperate man." People. I can see through it. Most people in this world, even if there are delicacies on the table, will not refuse to eat a few more porridge and side dishes. How many people will not eat it? Anyway, they have to take the same share, but they are just picking up the porridge bowl while thinking about the deliciousness of mountains and seas!"

Jiang Mengzhen's face darkened, and after a long silence, he said very slowly: "Perhaps in the second young master's heart, I am such a person."

Wu Xichun was stunned, "How do you say?"

"He thinks that the young master is a delicacy, and he is a porridge and a side dish. I married him as the next best thing... He passed this hurdle like a bewilderment, and we always quarreled about it," Jiang Mengzhen turned his head and looked at him. Looking out of the window, he said slowly: "At first I couldn't figure it out, but now I gradually think about the past, only to realize that many things went astray from the beginning - just like what my sister said, after the eldest young master passed away, I It's time to choose someone else, and if there is no one, let someone take advantage of it and talk about it back and forth... But if it wasn't the second young master who came to propose marriage at that time, I probably wouldn't agree."

"You like him?"

"Although he was seventeen back then, he had been away from home for three years. In my impression, he was always a child of thirteen or fourteen. It's hard for me to say I have any special feelings for him, but I always have some feelings for him in my heart. Lianai does not exclude slowly developing a relationship with him... Actually, what is there between me and the young master? The young master saved my life, and I feel that marrying someone who is willing to give up his life for me will always end in the end. It won't be too bad, and it's just that I don't reject getting along with him. How can it be regarded as unswerving love? On the contrary, after getting married, I occasionally have troubles, so I try to escape and think what will happen if I marry the young master ...At that time, I didn't have much deep feelings, but after marriage, I seemed to be thinking about it! Now that I have woken up, the second young master is tired of it."

Jiang Mengzhen gave a wry smile, and put her fingertips on her forehead, "At the beginning of my marriage, I once said that I only wanted to be a decent partner with him, and that husband, wife, and concubine had their own positions, but things have changed until now. , I think I can no longer be a virtuous and magnanimous match, and let him live with others."

Wu Xichun felt the same, and sighed: "Because you have already fallen in love with him... A husband may be able to share, but a loved one cannot."

Jiang Mengzhen acquiesced to his words. He had indeed had a deeper emotional entanglement with Qi Heli, and could no longer regard him as a symbolic husband who could control his emotions and feelings with ease.Sometimes talking about love is very similar to practicing Zen. After enough practice, there will be a kind of clear epiphany at a certain moment. Jiang Mengzhen accidentally saw the flowers falling on the mirror stand one morning, and suddenly realized——In fact, he is Qihe The feeling of anxiety had already blossomed, but it was a pity that when he saw this flower, it had been blown away by the wind and rain outside.

Jiang Mengzhen didn't know how this flower budded and bloomed at all, but he could see clearly how this flower fell into the soil and withered, every time Xiao Hua appeared, every intimate "Brother Qi" ", let this flower rot into the mud day by day.This is a very paradoxical feeling. When Jiang Mengzhen discovered his own feelings, he watched the person he loved walking towards others, leaving him with a heart that gradually cooled down.

"I envy your decisiveness," Jiang Mengzhen said quietly: "This determination is admirable, I am not as good as you..."

"You are just not disappointed enough." Wu Xichun helped him refill a cup of tea, and said sincerely: "I still hope that you can have a chance to make up, don't come to my step..."

Jiang Mengzhen nodded, but he didn't have any hope in his heart. The relationship between him and Qi Heju had reached a dead end, and a person who had changed his mind couldn't be kept.

"By the way, I heard from my brother that the situation has become more and more tense recently. King Jin and the third prince fought so fiercely that they started to contact officials of all sizes in private. Opportunity, take advantage of the power of the dragon," Wu Xichun changed the subject at the right time, and said in a low voice: "People on both sides are trying to gain military power. The Imperial Guards of the Habayashi are directly under the Holy Master. They dare not contact rashly, so they want to win over the capital. The garrison camp and the Qingzhou soldiers, if they are soft, they will come hard. I heard from my brother that the salary of the garrison camp was deliberately deducted by the third prince, just to force them to stand in line. Although King Jin sent money, who would dare? catch?"

Jiang Mengzhen was surprised, "The Qingzhou barracks also had their salaries deducted?"

"I guess it's not far from ten, and the situation of Qingzhou soldiers will only be worse. Most of the sergeants in the garrison camp are from the capital, and they will not starve to death. When Qingzhou soldiers first arrived, they lived on the monthly salary. How do you live? You have to stand in line. If you choose the right person, it’s okay, but if you choose the wrong one, the new emperor will inevitably be labeled as a rebel after he ascends the throne. Difficult thing."

"He didn't tell me a word," Jiang Mengzhen was anxious and angry. Qi Heli always kept things in his heart. Now that he encountered such a big thing, he kept it a secret. "No wonder he these days The time I stayed in the barracks got longer and longer, and I thought he was keeping me away on purpose!"

"You two are too awkward. You always say half of what you say, and you don't feel tired of guessing!" Wu Xichun paused, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "Oh, what right do I have to say about you?" ? An Zhiyuan and I have spoken directly, but what he said was all lies."

Jiang Mengzhen patted the back of his hand, Wu Xichun said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, my matter has been settled, and I have nothing to do with An Zhiyuan from now on, and he is not something to be talked about, but if Others are generally the same."

Jiang Mengzhen admired his freedom and ease, and the two chatted for a long time before reluctantly preparing to leave.

"My lord, look at that man across the street," Bi Yan whispered to Jiang Mengzhen, "When we came, he led his horse and stood under the willow tree. It's been a long time, and he still hasn't left."

Jiang Mengzhen said nonchalantly, "Why do you care about others?"

"It's just eye-catching." Bi Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Look at the people who come and go, who doesn't take a second look at him? I think of a phrase that the young master read, 'Riding a horse leaning on a leaning bridge, full of red-sleeved tricks ', isn't that what you mean?"

Hearing the words, Jiang Mengzhen couldn't help but stare at him curiously, and saw that the man was indeed extremely handsome, with a white face and affectionate eyebrows. At this time, Wu Xichun's carriage turned out from behind the teahouse, and the man got on the horse Follow the car at a distance.

"...I think this person is Yingyang." Jiang Mengzhen couldn't help but lament that the marriages in the world really have their own definite number, but the people who are in it can't see clearly as if they are blind.

When Jiang Mengzhen returned to Qi's mansion, he was walking across from Master Qi who was about to go out to socialize. When Master Qi saw him, his face immediately sank.Now the Qi family is in an embarrassing situation. They have an in-law relationship with the King of Jin, but Jiang Mengyou has obviously fallen out of favor. He intends to surrender to the third prince, but he will inevitably be regarded as a party of the King of Jin. The master held back his anger, and became more and more dissatisfied with Jiang Mengzhen in his heart. He only felt that he had ruined Qi Heju's future before, and now he came to block the Qi family's entry.

"The second young lady is so leisurely, just hang out every day, and don't need you as a housekeeper, you are so happy to be a shopkeeper!" Master Qi said coldly: "All the generous gifts I sent to the third prince's house today will be refunded. Come back, is there any room for improvement in the relationship between your sister and King Jin?"

Jiang Mengzhen lowered her head and said, "...I really don't know."

"Everyone is betting, but my Qi family is losing no matter what!" Master Qi frowned, furiously, "No matter who succeeds, my family will eat melons because of you! It's not helpful to my family, I just turn a blind eye to the trouble with my second child, if it weren't for you, how could my family be so passive?"

Jiang Mengzhen stood at the gate and listened to the lesson for a long time. He felt cramped and couldn't breathe. The afternoon sun shone brightly above his head. After getting the letter with Xiao Hua, he also rushed over to watch the excitement from a distance, and sneering eyes pierced Jiang Mengzhen's body, which made him feel ashamed.His breathing became more and more rapid unconsciously, and he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his stomach, and then his eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground unconsciously.
