Meng Dong

Chapter 53

In the days that followed, Meng Dong earnestly carried out the experience conveyed to him by the old lady, and carried out the obedience and obedience to the end. When Yan Hong was in the mansion, he lay obediently on the bed and recuperated.When Yan Hong arrived in the army, he began to expand his range of activities little by little—at first he just tentatively got out of bed and walked around for a while, then he went down to the attic to bask in the sun in the garden, and finally , and even walked all the way to the old lady's courtyard, drinking tea and chatting with the old lady.

Qing Ming got the old lady's orders, and she didn't dare to stop Meng Dong anymore, and was forced to become his accomplice, not only following him carefully every day, taking care of him with fear, but also helping to lie to her prince at night.

Every time she met her prince's piercing eyes, Qing Ming felt that she had been seen through.Because of his connivance, even if he really knew about it, his prince would not treat Mr. Meng badly, and he would not even scold him, but he would not be treated so well.

Qingming felt more and more that it was becoming more and more difficult to be a servant of the palace.

Although Meng Dong has been quite presumptuous, in fact Yan Hong is still a minority when he is not in the mansion. He delegates most of the military affairs to a few generals, and stays in the attic most of the time, almost inseparable, except for things that must be done by him. He guarded Meng Dong, covering almost every aspect of food, clothing, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition to coaxing Meng Dong to take medicine on time every day, he also had to cook various tonic soups in the kitchen with different patterns every day.

With all kinds of delicacies falling into his belly, and with his beloved by his side every day, Meng Dong not only healed his wounds quickly, but also his complexion was much better than before, and even his waist that had not changed for thousands of years had thin pimples. A layer of soft meat.Even so, Yan Hong still found two doctors to diagnose Meng Dong's pulse before he finally felt relieved.

After the doctor left, Meng Dong turned over and sat up. His movements were very light, but in Yan Hong's eyes, he still couldn't help stretching out his hand to press his arm: "Be careful, don't pull the wound."

Meng Dong raised his eyebrows, looked at Yan Hong dissatisfied, raised his arms and moved a bit: "The wound has scabbed over, as Lang Zhong said just now, it's not a serious problem, I've been lying on the bed for so long, I should Can you get out of bed and move around?"

"Well, I've been lying on the bed for so long..." Yan Hong curled his lips, turned his head and glanced at Qing Ming who was waiting by the bed, then turned around and picked up the little rabbit lying on Meng Dong's pillow, pointing Pointing to its claws, "In the past few days, I have been finding that there is always a little mud in the crevices of this little thing's claws. Although it can be seen that it has been cleaned, there will still be a little trace."

Meng Dong sniffled, reached out to take the little gray rabbit from his hand, rubbed his head comfortingly, and replied in a calm tone: "It might be that Qingming rubbed it when they took it to play in the garden. It's a rabbit, so what's so special about having mud on the soles of its feet?"

Yan Hong nodded, looked back at Qingming again, and smiled softly: "It seems that when Qingming took it to the garden, she might have worn your clothes and shoes because she was afraid that it would recognize her as a stranger. It's not unusual for your clothes and shoes to get dusty."

"My lord, the villain is guilty." After hearing these words, Qing Ming immediately knelt down on the ground, not even daring to look at Yan Hong again.

Meng Dong: "..."

Sometimes he didn't quite understand why Yan Hong had such prestige in the mansion, but since he insisted on "following the public and violating the Yin", it was impossible for him to push out Qingming to make up for the crime at such a time, so he said: "You found out early tomorrow. But you haven’t exposed us all the time, which means you don’t mind me going out every day, and you know that it won’t have any effect on the injury.” He glanced at Qingming, who was almost trembling, and sighed helplessly, “Again Why are you trying to scare people at this time?"

The corner of Yan Hong's mouth raised, and he pointed at Qingming: "This king has raised him for so many years, and he has started to help you hide it from me so soon. If you don't scare me, what will happen in the future?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Qingming again. Xiang Mengdong, "Isn't it just that someone got a bargain and acted like a good boy?"

Meng Dong recalled what he just said, and couldn't help laughing: "That's why I shouldn't have gotten cheap and behaved. I will apologize to the prince. Your lord has a lot, so don't bother with us." The little rabbit picked it up, pinched its two front paws with both hands, and waved it towards Yan Hong, looking at Yan Hong with shining eyes.

Yan Hong stared at the two, one big and one small, especially the same dark eyes, and couldn't help but smile on his face.He didn't really have a seizure at all, he just teased Meng Dong on purpose.

He has never been able to hide the various actions of the palace from top to bottom. He knows that Meng Dong has done a lot of things secretly while he is away these days, and he has also confirmed that it will not affect Meng Dong's injuries, so he didn't care about it, but he didn't say anything about it, so as not to Meng Dong was aggressive, thinking that he was condoning his behavior.

He waved his hand towards Qingming: "Go down, even if you have to settle today's debt, it won't be yours."

Qing Ming took a long breath, glanced gratefully at Meng Dong, and quickly backed away.Meng Dong leaned on the bed, looked at the back of Qingming leaving in a hurry, raised the corners of his lips, and raised his chin towards Yan Hong: "It seems that the prince is going to settle accounts with me?"

"How dare I settle accounts with you now?" Yan Hong took the little rabbit from his arms, put it on the ground, then pulled the man into his arms, and continued, "Don't think I don't know, you go to the rabbit from time to time. My mother is so brave to run there, she must be backed by her old man, how dare I settle accounts with you?"

Meng Dong leaned on Yan Hong's chest, and pointed at Yan Hong: "Fortunately, there are still people in this world that you will be afraid of."

Yan Hong casually ran down his hair, and chuckled: "I'm afraid of too many people, I'm afraid of my mother, I'm afraid of General Gao, of course, I'm most afraid of you." He lowered his head and looked into Meng Dong's eyes , "I'm most afraid of accidents for you. I know I've seen you too strictly in the past few days. I've kept you in this attic all day. You're actually very bored, but I'm afraid that I'm worried and don't want to have an attack.”

"I know you're doing it for my own good, so you're not so ignorant." Meng Dong pointed his finger upwards, pointing at Yan Hong's stubble, "Whether the defenders in Jiangling or the reinforcements in the Southwest have taken a rest for a while. In the past two days, you have been in the army several times in the past two days, presumably to discuss the follow-up military situation. Although you have just won now, the momentum is on the verge of victory, but if you can't go all out, it will be very difficult to defeat the Chu army. I have been worrying about this matter all the time, even frowning more times than before."

Yan Hong raised his hand and touched his forehead, and couldn't help laughing: "It's not so exaggerated, is it? I have indeed been discussing the military situation with the King of Southwest and several generals in recent days, although the combined number of Jiangling and Southwest may not be It's time to go to the court, but the court has not fought against the outside world for many years. From the perspective of combat power, the soldiers in the court are not as good as us. So if we really do something, we may not Can't win."

"I don't know much about the art of war, but it's not easy to think about it. You need to join forces with the Southwest King to be sure of victory." Meng Dong tilted his head and looked at Yan Hong's face, "You have put too much thought into it earlier. On me, now that my injury is almost healed, you should also concentrate on preparing for the battle."

Yan Hong lowered his head, buried his face in Meng Dong's arms, and rubbed it: "Actually, we discussed it a few days ago. When the time comes, I will lead the army along the waterway with several generals, and the people of the King of Southwest will go south along the dry road. , pointing directly at the capital. These days I have been hoping for your recovery, and I want to take you with me, but even though your wounds are scabbed, it is still not healed. It is freezing outside, and we are marching and fighting all the way. I don’t want to take you to suffer with me anymore.”

Meng Dong lowered his eyes, and could only see half of Yan Hong's face, but he saw a very conspicuous white streak in his black hair.Killing Yan Tai to avenge his father has been Yan Hong's long-cherished wish for many years. Even if Yan Hong holds the military power, it is not so easy to realize it.Even if the heart is as broad-minded as Yan Hong, it is inevitable that he will not worry about it.Meng Dong stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, but he still couldn't bear to pull out that white hair.He was silent for a while, and the corners of his lips curled up: "I want to share weal and woe with the prince, but I also have self-knowledge. I'm not good at marching and fighting. Even if I go to the army with you, I won't be of much help. If it’s not good, you will be tired and distracted to take care of me.”

Yan Hong raised his head and met Meng Dong's eyes: "If you need to be distracted from taking care of you, it's meaningless for me to be a prince. It's natural to share joys and sorrows, but I still don't want to part with them." He gently Touching Meng Dong's face, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, "But if I keep you in Jiangling, I don't know how long it will take to meet again. I still don't feel relieved. This is the first time I have such conflicts. .”

"Isn't that a coincidence?" Meng Dong laughed, "I also have the same contradiction. I wish I could stay by your side all the time, but I can only stay in Jiangling, waiting for your news." As he spoke, his fingers touched Yan Hong's. "In the past few days, I went to the old lady and heard her talk about many old things. She said that in the early years, the old prince was out fighting, and she could still accompany him in the army, but since she was pregnant with you, The old prince is no longer worried about her going to the army. She can only look at you crying and speculate about the situation in the army. I didn't expect that it will not be long, and I will live a life like this. Fortunately, fortunately, there is no ignorant and noisy child in the palace now."

Yan Hong was listening quietly at first, but when he heard the second half of the words, he felt that something was not quite right. He sat up straight and turned his head to look at Meng Dong: "Why do I feel that you are taking the opportunity to laugh at me? Besides, Listen to what this means, my mother should have told you a lot about my childhood in the past few days?"

Meng Dong raised his lips and laughed: "It's not too much, but it's all quite fun."

Seeing his smiling eyes, Yan Hong couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, as long as you are happy, you can slander me."

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door. Yan Hong raised his head and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, Mr. Xu has arrived, and he is in the main hall now."

Yan Hong nodded: "Then please come in."

Meng Dong was surprised: "Why is Mr. Xu here at this time, because he has military affairs to talk about?"

"In a few days, I will lead the army to go out, and Xu Yudan will stay behind to defend the city. Of course, there are other generals in Jiangling City. Don't worry, but I have to entrust him to take care of him in my residence. What's more," Yan Hong turned around and replaced Meng Dong. He took the robe, "I know that you are staying in the mansion these days, and you only see those few people every day, and you are very bored, so I specially invited him over, to eat and drink together, and chat a few words, just for the sake of You relieve boredom."

While speaking, the door was knocked again, and after receiving the answer, Qingming opened the door and invited Xu Weidan in.

Meng Dong got up from the bed, saw Xu Weidan nod his head slightly, and then raised his eyes, he saw the pretty figure behind him, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Yan Hong.

With a smile on his lips, Yan Hong said, "I know you and Xu Weidan have nothing to talk about, but Miss Jiangliu is always considerate, and you can be regarded as fellow villagers and old acquaintances, so I asked Xu Weidan to bring Miss Jiangliu together. Bring it here, so someone can talk to you."

Meng Dong hadn't seen Jiang Liu for a long time. He had a lot of things to do, and he had too many grievances, so he didn't have any more energy to devote to this poor girl.Now that I saw the person, I remembered that the last time the two met was Yan Hong's birthday, and they went to Xu Weidan's new house as guests together.

Unknowingly, a few months have passed, but things have changed.

Meng Dong knew that the Qiwu Hall was no longer what it used to be. In order not to arouse suspicion, Su Bi first left quietly with his confidantes, and then asked people to secretly transfer the Qiwu Hall. Already a makeover.As for the temperament and disposition of the new boss, and what kind of influence it will have on these girls, Meng Dong doesn't know, nor has he ever cared about it—after all, for him, the more than ten years of living in Qiwu Pavilion , was never a good memory.

He hated the life in Qiwu Hall, and also hated everything there.It wasn't until seeing Jiang Liu at this moment that he suddenly felt a little emotional.

Seeing Meng Dong, Jiang Liu still had a gentle smile on her face, she smiled slightly, and said softly, "Jiang Liu has seen the prince, thank you for inviting me today." Then she turned to Meng Dong, "Young master, long time no see."

Meng Dong smiled back at her, nodded slightly towards her, and pointed to the chair beside him: "Please take a seat."

Xu Weidan had already sat down by himself, glanced at Meng Dong, with a smile on his lips: "It seems that young master Meng is in charge of all matters, big or small, in the palace. Isn't that true?" How many bowls of rice the prince can eat in the future, is it up to Mr. Meng to decide?"

Meng Dong glanced at Yan Hong, and Yan Hong didn't deny it, but replied: "Although I can't be the master of the palace now, I still have the final say on matters in the army. How many times has Old General Xu been running to my place these days?" Once again, I said that I am not at ease in entrusting you with the important task of defending the city, and that I want to go back to the army to sit in command. In fact, I am still tempted. After all, compared with your father, you seem so unreliable."

Xu Weidan raised his eyebrows: "Actually, if the prince has the heart, I don't care. I will leave the defense of the city to my father, and I will follow the prince to the front line. It's not bad."

Yan Hong pulled his lower lip, and glanced in the direction of Jiangliu: "March and war are nothing compared to being in Jiangling City. You are stationed in the wilderness for days, but you are not accompanied by beautiful family members like flowers. If you can bear it, I can do it too." considerate."

Xu Weidan laughed, and looked in Meng Dong's direction: "The prince is willing to leave Mr. Meng in Jiangling, so why should I be reluctant?"

Yan Hong glanced in Meng Dong's direction, smiled lightly, but did not refute.

The weather was getting colder, Xu Weidan and the others came all the way, although they were dressed thickly, they were still chilly, not long after they were seated, Qingming brought warm wine in, and set up a banquet for the two of them.

Meng Dong's injury was slightly better, and he still had to pay attention to eating. Naturally, drinking was not allowed, so he could only smell the aroma of the wine, drink tea slowly, and look at the other three.

Yan Hong and Xu Weidan drank wine and chatted, and slowly changed the topic to military affairs.Meng Dong listened casually, and then his attention fell on Jiang Liu, who was beside him pouring wine for Xu Weidan.I don't know if it's his illusion, but I just feel that today's Jiang Liu looks a lot plumper than before, and his complexion is fair and haggard, but his overall spirit still looks good.

Jiang Liu filled the wine cup for Xu Weidan. When she turned her head, she noticed Meng Dong's gaze on her, and she was not surprised. She just smiled gently and poured a bowl of hot soup for Meng Dong: "Just now I heard that the young master has not healed from his injuries earlier, and he still needs to recuperate."

Meng Dong smiled to express his gratitude, lowered his head and casually stirred in the soup bowl, and then slowly said: "Now, you have been living with Mr. Xu?"

Jiang Liu lowered her eyes, with a smile on her face: "In the beginning, I was the same as before, occasionally going to Mr. Xu's. But later, Mr. Xu also knew that the owner of the restaurant has changed, and the new owner is not like Mrs. He was so kind when I was here, and he was not friendly to us young people. He forced the steward to set a date for me... Mr. Xu found out, so he redeemed me for me. Live in another courtyard."

Meng Dong looked up at Jiang Liu, Jiang Liu lowered her head, as if attracted by the food in front of her, but Meng Dong could see that the chopsticks in her hand did not move.Her tone was flat, as if what she said was a matter of course, but her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed her emotions.

In fact, Meng Dong really wanted to ask Jiang Liu, what is the relationship between her and Xu Weidan now, is she Xu Weidan's concubine, or something else?But Meng Dong also knows that in life, there are many things that are just so unclear.Perhaps even Jiang Liu or Xu Weidan himself could not give a clear definition of the relationship between the two of them.

For Xu Weidan, he should be very satisfied with the way the two get along. He likes Jiang Liu's tenderness and consideration, so he keeps her by his side, and Jiang Liu... Maybe he has no choice, but he is also willing.

It's like once there was a chance to get rid of her situation, she was not moved, but now she chooses to stay in Xu Weidan's other courtyard, with an unclear relationship.It's not like she really has nowhere to go, let alone coveting Xu Weidan's money.

Meng Dong remembered the warning he gave Jiang Liu when he first met, that people cannot control their emotions after all.If it was Meng Dong back then, he might have sneered at her choice like a moth to a flame, but now, he has already understood what it means to be uncontrollable in love, and he can't say a single word to Jiang Liu's smile. words come.

"Qingming," Meng Dong turned around and ordered, "Bring a bowl of the sweet soup cooked in the kitchen to Miss Jiangliu in the morning." He pointed to the bowl in his hand, "This is very greasy, Miss Jiangliu probably Can't drink it."

Jiang Liu looked up at Meng Dong in surprise, and after a while, said softly, "Master, you seem to have changed a lot from before."

Meng Dong smiled: "The Qiwu Pavilion is no longer what it used to be, so I will naturally change."

If it was someone else, they might ask Meng Dong why Su Bi was willing to transfer the Qiwu Pavilion to someone else, and why Meng Dong, a young master, fell to this point.But Jiang Liu was the most winking, and he didn't ask any more questions from the beginning to the end. Even if Meng Dong himself mentioned this point, he didn't ask any questions.

On the contrary, Meng Dong looked at her for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "The other girls in the restaurant..."

If it were Meng Dong's previous character, he would not care about the life and death of other people, but he walked through life and death, and suddenly many kind thoughts arose in his heart.He hated the Qiwu Pavilion, but he also understood that there were many girls like Jiang Liu in that pavilion, but they were just poor people who couldn't help themselves.Su Bi was in a hurry to get away, so naturally he didn't care about other people's life or death, but if it's really what Jiang Liu said, the new owner of the museum is probably not a good person.

Meng Dong more or less felt that it was because of himself that he harmed these people.

Before Jiang Liu could speak, Xu Weidan, who had been drinking beside her, heard Meng Dong's words: "Mr. Meng is worried about the people living in the Wu Hall?" Don't worry, the prince has already dealt with this kind of matter."

Meng Dong froze for a moment, turned to look at Yan Hong, Yan Hong took a sip of his wine, and then said slowly: "I wanted to wait for you to recover before taking you to have a look. That day Xu Weidan told me After reading what happened to Miss Jiangliu, I realized that the matter of the Qiwu Mansion has not been dealt with. I thought it was the place where you grew up after all, so I asked someone to buy it, and wait for you to stay in the mansion for a few days. If you're bored, you can ask Qingming to accompany you back to take a look. This time, you will be in charge of all the big and small matters in the restaurant, and no one will dare to offend you."

YXZL.

Meng Dong's eyes widened in surprise. He wanted to say that he didn't have such deep feelings for Qiwu Pavilion, and he also wanted to say that Yan Hong wasn't like that, but he saw a smile slowly rising from Yan Hong's lips, and said slowly: "Even if It's not for you, that's where we first met, I have to receive it in my hands to feel at ease."
