#twenty

Rumors spread far faster than imagined. When Aunt Jiang found out later, even if she "accidentally" broke one tea set after another, there was no way to save it.

When Tang Jin returned home, he had just walked to the courtyard gate when he saw a man in plain clothes kneeling there and sobbing softly.

Aunt Jiang saw her coming, so she didn't say anything to make excuses. She just looked at her with red eyes, "General..."

Another tear rolled down her cheek.

Tang Jin lowered his eyes and looked at Aunt Jiang on the ground, and said in a calm voice: "What are you doing here?"

Aunt Jiang had long been accustomed to her indifference and sobbed softly: "I am waiting for the general."

Tang Jin just pretended to be stupid, "What are you waiting for me to do?"

Aunt Jiang knew her attitude towards this matter from the way she looked at her. She felt cold in her heart and at the same time she deepened her resentment towards that Meng Yusheng.

Aunt Jiang wiped her tears and bowed to Tang Jin, "Waiting to prove my innocence to the general."

After she bowed, she slowly straightened up and looked at Tang Jin, "General, my identity may be suspicious, but my heart for the general has never been false, and I have never done anything detrimental to the general. I hope

General’s warning.”

Seeing that she had spread her arms, Tang Jin stopped pretending to be stupid and said, "Get up and go in to talk."

Aunt Jiang refused her help, "The general doesn't want to believe me, so I have been kneeling here. As long as I can prove my innocence, I am willing to kneel and die."

Tang Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, and after a while, she retracted her hand and said, "Since you are willing to kneel, then kneel down."

After that, she stopped caring about Aunt Jiang, went back to the courtyard, changed her clothes, and then went to Meng's place for dinner.

Aunt Jiang looked at her back as she left without hesitation, and her face turned pale.

Tang Jin walked all the way to the outside of Meng's courtyard and heard talking and laughing inside from a distance, which seemed particularly harmonious.

Tang Jin pushed open the door and walked in. After greeting Mr. Meng, who was at the head, the family began to eat.

As the saying goes, you should eat and sleep without talking, but there are not so many rules in this family. During the meal, Yu Sheng still sat next to Tang Jin. Meng looked at the two people sitting together and asked abruptly:

"How long is Yu Sheng's filial piety period?"

Yu Sheng thought about what he had read in the previous letters, "There is still half a year."

Meng thought thoughtfully, "Half a year, that would be just in time. It will be the beginning of spring, so..."

Although Meng didn't say everything in this paragraph, almost everyone at the dinner table understood it.

Yu Sheng clenched the chopsticks in his hand, but he was a little flustered.

His great-aunt wanted him to marry his cousin, but...

After a few days, he also thought it through.

He is willing to marry his cousin because he relies on his cousin and does not want to be separated from his cousin. If he marries his cousin, he can always be with his cousin, so he wants to marry his cousin.

However, it is one thing if he is willing, and another thing is whether his cousin is willing.

Once again, even if his cousin pities him and is willing to marry him...

My cousin likes women. Although he is now disguised as a woman, he is still a man after all. If he married his cousin like this, wouldn't it be...

My cousin will definitely be very disappointed with him then.

It's hard to say... I even disliked him because of this incident.

He didn't want to disappoint his cousin, and he didn't want his cousin to hate him.

As he thought about it, Yu Sheng's mood became depressed again.

Tang Jin, who was next to him, looked at the rice in the bowl and felt a little confused.

After finishing their meal, Tang Jin and Yu Sheng said goodbye to Meng and returned to the courtyard together.

On the way, both of them were thinking about their own things and did not speak.

When they reached Shuiyun Court, both of them stopped.

Yu Sheng was in a low mood, "Cousin, I'm going back first."

Tang Jin looked at his pale face, moved his lips, and finally just said: "Go to rest early."

Yu Sheng nodded, and seeing that she was still looking at him, he slowly turned around and walked back.

He is still in the period of mourning. Although he is wearing light blue underwear today, the overall color is still plain. Compared with Aunt Jiang's uncomfortable feeling when she wears plain clothes, this color is most suitable for him now.

temperament.

Probably feeling her gaze, Yu Sheng paused as he walked and looked back at her.

After a while, he lowered his head and continued walking back.

Tang Jin sighed and returned to his yard.

Aunt Jiang was still kneeling in front of the courtyard gate.

Tang Jin glanced at her, then calmly averted his eyes, and went straight in.

Aunt Jiang looked at her back and couldn't help but blush.

Even though she had long known how ruthless the men in this world were, she still couldn't help but feel cold.

After all, she had served the general for two years. Regardless of how much credit she earned, she must have worked hard...

Tears welled up in the corners of Aunt Jiang's eyes. After a while, she clenched the handkerchief tightly again.

Obviously before Meng Yusheng came to Jeju, although the general was cold, he would not be so cruel to her...

Sharp nails dug into the palms of hands.

In the past few days, not only people outside the house were spreading rumors about her having ulterior motives, but also people inside the house were spreading rumors. Although she had never left the house, she had suffered a lot of criticism and criticism in the past two days.

It’s all that Meng Yusheng, it’s all that Meng Yusheng!

As soon as she came, everything changed...

Aunt Jiang squeezed her hands tightly, her eyes becoming more and more resentful.

When Tang Jin went out the next morning, Aunt Jiang was still kneeling, which made Tang Jin take a high look.

She knelt all night, her body swaying, and there was already a maid supporting her beside her. When she saw Tang Jin coming out, Aunt Jiang couldn't help but call her: "General..."

But just as she opened her mouth, there was another soft voice, but slightly louder than Aunt Jiang's, coming from the side.

"cousin."

Tang Jin looked over and saw Yu Sheng and Xiao Cui'an standing there quietly.

Seeing Tang Jin looking over, he said softly: "My great-aunt has sent someone to hurry up."

Tang Jin agreed, then ignored Aunt Jiang on the ground and went to Meng's side with Yu Sheng.

After walking some distance, Yu Sheng asked accidentally: "Why is Sister Jiang kneeling there?"

Tang Jin didn't have much objection to his little idea of ​​making secret remarks, "Maybe she likes to kneel."

Hearing Tang Jin's words, Yu Sheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. He no longer struggled with the topic and instead asked, "Cousin, are you still going to the government office today?"

Tang Jin nodded.

Yu Sheng couldn't help but said: "I'm going to burn incense with my cousin today... If my cousin asks for anything, I'll do it for him as well."

Tang Jin thought for a while and said, "I just hope that the three northern states will have good weather and the people will be happy."

Yu Sheng couldn't help but lower his eyes.

It's great to have my cousin to protect me in Kitasanju.

Cousin... so nice.

As Tang Jin walked, he began to bathe in the eyes of a certain cousin as if he were looking at stars, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

This time the gaze was not only one of dependence, but also of admiration as if looking at a hero.

If someone with less determination were here, he would be looked at with such eyes that he would not remember his last name and would only want to go to the battlefield and charge into battle to become a hero.

Tang Jin felt a little... when he thought that he might have to face such looks from time to time in the future.

Otherwise, find some excuse to take a walk around the Huns to hide?

Anyway, it is already autumn. When winter comes, the Xiongnu will be short of food and may come to harass the three northern states. It is better to strike first so that they will not be able to continue causing chaos.
