Meng Xinghe heard the sound of the whip and the barking of Miss Du mistreating the dog opposite. After all, he couldn't help the bad breath in his heart. He stood up with a snap.
"Have you had enough trouble?" No matter how far away the old couple of the Du family were staring, Meng Xinghe directly squeezed Miss Du's hand. "Do you think you are an innocent girl who is only 17 or 18 years old? You have nothing to do at home all day long walking the dog and planting flowers. .No wonder I can’t get married.”
"You." Miss Du glared at Meng Xinghe angrily. She bit her lips tightly. Tears gradually appeared in her eyes. "Let me go. This is my home. I can do whatever I want." Miss Du struggled hard. There was a flash of blood in her eyes. Unyielding stubbornness.
Oh, he's quite stubborn. Meng Xinghe turned sideways. He didn't care whether a man or a woman kissed him or not. Miss Du's parents were just far away. He was so thick-skinned that he was invulnerable. He grabbed Miss Du's wrist and used his other hand. He already held her in his arms. "I want to curse. This is not the right place. Let's go far away."
Miss Du has never been hugged by a man. Now she is being scorned by a stinky man like Meng Xinghe. Of course she will not obey him easily.
"Let me go. Be careful I bite you." There is no way. I can't use my hands and feet. Fortunately, I can still touch Meng Xinghe's arm with my mouth. If Meng Xinghe doesn't let go of her, the desperate Miss Du can do anything. out.
"Okay. Bite. If you dare to bite, I will molest you right now."
"You dare." Miss Du said harshly. But she was still afraid that Meng Xinghe would keep his word. It's not like he had never done this kind of thing before. He had a criminal record.
Haha. This little girl has some concerns about me after all.
Report Miss Du to a remote corner. It was quiet all around. The moonlight poured down from the top of the head, quietly shining on their faces.
"Wow." Meng Xinghe put down Miss Du in his arms without mercy.
"Don't move." Meng Xinghe shouted and forced Miss Du to the corner. His body was close to her front. His legs were against her knees. He held her jade arms with both hands and pressed her against the wall. His eyes were shining like a wolf. He looked at her panicked eyes with amusement. His heavy breathing was just like a tiger and leopard prowling for food at night, quietly waiting for its prey to appear.
Faced with Meng Xinghe's animalistic intrusion, Miss Du, who was pressed tightly against the wall by him, was a little panicked. She didn't dare to look at Meng Xinghe and turned her head away. A stream of tears fell from her eyes. Outflow. Said: "Shameless."
She cried. Meng Xinghe took a closer look and found that Miss Du, who had always been strong, was indeed crying. Damn it, you know that I am most afraid of women crying in my life. Why did you do this? It seems that she has grasped her only weakness.
That's all. It's rare to have a shortcoming. Let's carry it forward.
Meng Xinghe let go of his hands. "I said, you are already a big man. Why are you still doing those low-level things? Just now, Mr. Du was still lamenting that you couldn't get married because he delayed you. Now it seems that you also have it. The reason is inside. Tell me. What have I done to offend you? To ask you to torment me like this, you have to give me a bad name before you give up. I’m not telling you. It’s really childish for you to do this. If you lack love .How about I be more merciful and give you some."
The more Miss Du heard about it, the angrier she became. This damned thief actually dared to shout "Catch a thief" and lectured herself in such a high-sounding manner. She was furious, but she felt that Meng Xinghe was right. Why should she have trouble with him? Is it just that? The first time he thought of himself as celadon. He played with his own feelings. That's why he hated him so much. He wished he could beat him every day and please him for a while, which made him feel better.
I can't figure it out. Miss Du actually fell silent. According to Meng Xinghe, it was because something was wrong with her.
Bah, bah, bah. I was led into a trap by this guy again. What he said was nothing more than exonerating himself. He is a heinous person.
"I'm happy. I like it. Whether or not I get married is my own business. Don't use your fraternity to ruin my love. I don't care." Miss Du said seriously what she had always wanted to say in her heart. These years. It's not that she doesn't want to marry, it's that no man can stay in her eyes. Of course, except for Meng Xinghe. In Miss Du's heart, he has nothing worth remembering except for ruining women from good families. He is just a complete bad guy. A thorough man. A stallion.
"Haha." The faceless Meng Xinghe, who was beaten by Miss Du's words, smiled coquettishly and said: "I just love gambling a little bit. I like to tease women from good families. I like having three wives and four concubines. I like to have nothing to do. I just go out and mess around with women. I like to steal jade and beauty in the willow alleys among flowers. These are my hobbies. Miss Du doesn’t just like people like me."
I have never seen anyone publicize those indecent things as a show off. Miss Du's "hate" for Meng Xinghe is even more intense. His shamelessness makes Miss Du ashamed. Why is there such a man in the world? He is really the best. .
Meng Xinghe saw Miss Du's thoughtful look. He had no intention of playing with her any longer. It was just that this girl might have become more and more arbitrary after being disciplined by Beauty for a long time. Only then did he have the courage to help Old Du discipline and teach his daughter.
"Stop scolding. If you don't scold me, I'll leave. You are a smart woman. Intelligence should be used for business. The right army and the left army are about to merge. It is important to pay close attention to this matter. Spend the whole day with the little Is it interesting to beat Meng back and forth? If you really hate me so much, you won’t keep that dog. In our hometown dialect, this is called deep love and deep hatred. You don’t like a man who is philanthropic. That man is Why would he give up his deep love because of a woman? It’s a dilemma. How can we have the best of both worlds? I’m stupid and can’t help you if I can’t figure it out. But I want to say that there are very few gentlemen and hypocrites. It’s all over the fucking place.”
He cursed in the end and did not allow Miss Du to answer at all. Meng Xinghe walked directly away. Judging from her appearance, she would probably have to calm down for a few days after being taught a lesson tonight. Meng Xinghe hoped that Miss Du would feel compassion and repent after hearing this remark. If she didn't do those childish things, she would undoubtedly still be the most attractive talented woman in Chang'an. Maybe she would be even more charming than before.
After listening to what he said so much, Miss Du didn't understand a word. She understood qualitatively that Meng Xinghe was talking nonsense. She was afraid that she had misunderstood. She thought about it again carefully. She didn't understand. She cursed: "It's inexplicable." The person on the other side was already there. No one answered her. Meng Xinghe left after all.
Not to mention disappointed. Miss Du, who has always been rational, knew that it would be unpleasant for her and Meng Xinghe to avoid quarreling with him. It would be better to leave, so that everyone would not be able to help but talk when they meet.
Walking back to the yard, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were still there. When Xiao Meng saw Miss Du coming, he ran to her feet. No matter how Miss Du beat him every day to coax her, the dog did not mind the family being poor. The one named Xiao Meng Naturally, the black dog still loves Miss Du as its owner. The way it wagged its tail and begged for mercy made Miss Du, who was in a bad mood, smile: "It's better for you. You won't make me angry." She picked up Xiao Meng and said to her parents. After saying good night, I went back to the room feeling a little disappointed.
The two elders of the Du family shook their heads and sighed. Mrs. Du Pei Zhuyu scolded her even more, saying: "It's all your fault. You have raised a good daughter to be like this since she was a child. You are happy."
"It's my fault. It's my fault. Xiao Meng is a good kid, but Xuan'er is too picky. Alas, it's really hard work." Mr. Du expressed regret. In front of his wife Pei Zhuyu, he had the majesty of a minister. However, He is just a man who loves his wife and daughter.
Mrs. Du snorted coldly. "If my daughter doesn't find happiness in the future, you won't have to sleep in my bed anymore. Just move to the side room to sleep with your unlucky precious son."
Mr. Du frowned at Lao Gao. "Ziyu, Du San'er is wrong. Please forgive me. I just risked my life. I don't want to be the minister. I also want Xuan'er to find happiness."
Now Mrs. Du was even more angry: "That's nonsense. You risked your life to kill our two mothers. Oh, Du San, you are a promising person, right? You dare to talk about life and death. Are you planning to kill our mothers?" I abandoned all my sons and went out to find another mistress. Do you think I am getting old and not as gentle as before?"
Once a woman is unreasonable, she can find excuses for anything. Lao Du just made a promise, but Mrs. Du Pei Zhuyu caught her by the pigtails and bombarded her with a burst of unwarranted attacks, leaving him no chance to reply.
Mr. Du sighed: "Ziyu, aren't you just looking for trouble? You still don't understand what I mean."
"Don't come here." Mrs. Du snorted coldly. She was even more famous than Miss Du when she came here. Pei Zhuyu was famous in Chang'an back then. She was still as charming as ever and went straight back to the main room with a straight face. She hurriedly returned to the main room. The way he left was quite womanly.
"Madam, it's getting late. It's time to rest." Mr. Du followed suitably. The old and young in this house all gave him a headache. It's really hard for him to be the head of the family. Daughter, son, Mrs. .There are also all the affairs in the court. These are all weighing on him. It is no wonder that Lao Du's hair turns gray so quickly. It is all forced. It is no wonder that he has long hoped to find a successor to take over his position as Minister. After all, His pressure is indeed great enough.
...
The next morning, the morning meeting was held as before. Li Shimin was sitting high on the throne. Seeing Mr. Du standing in front of him with a tired face, he asked with concern: "Is Du Aiqing feeling unwell? Why is he so tired?"
"I'm fine, sir. Your Majesty is concerned about me." Du Ruhui thanked him quickly. He had straightened himself out and regained his energy.
Li Shimin didn't listen to his explanation: "Here comes someone. Give Du Aiqing a seat. Immediately announce that the imperial doctor will come to the palace."
He had just finished speaking. After a while, a group of imperial doctors came to Tai Chi Hall.
"You all should check if Du Aiqing is feeling well."
All the imperial doctors immediately took Master Du's pulse in front of all the civil and military officials.
Soon, all the imperial doctors discussed and recommended one person: "Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Du is tired due to overwork and lack of Qi and blood. He needs to be recuperated for a few days. Otherwise, he will become sick from overwork and it will be difficult to cure. "
Li Shimin listened to the words of the imperial doctor in his heart. Du Ruhui had always been his right-hand man. He had devoted his whole life to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Now he is suffering from labor disease. Li Shimin is already heartbroken. He said: "Du Aiqing, I will let you rest at home for a few days. Come to court after you recover. You don't have to discuss matters today." The emperor issued the order. Li Shimin also told: "Imperial doctor, you will send Du Aiqing home and send people to Du's mansion three times in the morning, noon and evening to nurse Du Aiqing back to health. .If anything goes wrong, I only ask you."
Anyone can lose, but Du Ruhui cannot lose. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, Li Shimin allowed Du Ruhui to receive this treatment. It was well deserved.
"Long live my thanks." Du Ruhui wanted to kowtow and thank him. Li Shimin immediately ordered: "My dear, there is no need to be polite. Go down and take care of yourself first."
Not daring to disobey, Du Ruhui followed the imperial doctor directly out of the Tai Chi Hall.
After the calm was restored, the court began to discuss matters again. Now Du Ruhui is recuperating at home. The post of Shangshu is currently vacant. The country cannot be without a prime minister for a day. An old minister has already stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a prime minister for a day. Du Shangshu is currently recuperating at home. .The veteran suggested that we should select an adult from the three provinces and six ministries to take over this position temporarily."
The speaker was Fang Xuanling, who was close to Du Ruhui. He suggested it, and the court immediately became lively.
Li Shimin also knew that this matter was not a child's play. He didn't think much about it. He asked the ministers below: "I wonder if the beloved minister in the three provinces and six ministries is willing to step in and take over the post of minister."
After saying this, the ministers did not dare to recommend themselves. The post of the Minister of Secretariat was Du Ruhui's position. If anyone wanted to sit now, he would have already stolen his position. It would be better to wait for others to recommend, then stand up and reluctantly take the position. Wouldn't this be different? All beautiful.
The ministers, who are all human beings, were thinking below. Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the court hall, stared down without saying a word. He wanted to see these ministers and see who had the guts to stand up first.
