"Well, cough, did I go the wrong way?" Seeing the sad faces of his beautiful wives in the main hall, Meng Xinghe, who was standing outside, coughed lightly, breaking the coldness around him. There was no life in the courtyard. Although his voice was not loud, it was transmitted inside. The people inside were all worried and had no intention of caring about whether anyone came in from outside. This sudden cough was like a cough. This refreshing song hits the brain and temporarily lifts people's spirits.
"Ladies, when I saw your husband coming back, why did you all have the heart to sit on the stool and not come to greet me?" Meng Xinghe smiled and amplified his voice countless times. It happened that four more people followed behind him. It was only then that everyone realized that she was not dreaming.
"Woo," sobs that made people's hearts melt suddenly came from the main hall. Then, when the ladies who had lost all their strength saw the guy who appeared in front of the door, they somehow... They had never shed tears since hearing Meng Xinghe's disappearance. At this moment, they could not suppress the surging emotions in their hearts and began to cry without shame.
"Come on, let me hug you to see if you have gained weight." Looking at his three wives running out with broken steps, Master Meng consciously opened his arms to welcome the hugs of the three girls.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of,... of one person.
"Master, wuwu, Die'er misses you so much,"
"Damn, are you mistaken? I am your husband." Looking at Mengdie holding Shi Luoshen, Meng Xinghe felt very unbalanced. Well, since Mengdie went to hug her master, what about Aunt Yun? Wouldn't she also want to reminisce with Shi Luo Shen?
Master Meng quietly gave me a look that begged for a hug.
"Sister," after Mengdie said what was in her heart, Aunt Yun gently gave Shi Luoshen a small hug. The relationship between the two has been tacit understanding for more than 20 years, but this hug is enough to explain everything.
"Okay, let's be honest. One of you is a master and apprentice, and the other is a sister. I'm not jealous if we have a good relationship. What about Shi Yu? Xue Shiyu was also one of the three girls who came here just now. The people here have nothing to do with her. Therefore, she should come to greet my husband,”
Master Meng's eyes fell on Miss Shi Yu.
"Good wife, I need a hug too," Mr. Meng opened and closed his mouth, whispering like a fish. As a result, the always gentle Miss Shi Yu ignored him and walked towards Du who was behind Shi Luoshen. Miss Du, and to Meng Xinghe’s surprise, she actually gave Miss Du a courtesy hug.
"Holy crap, do I still have a place in this family?"
Looking a little dumbfounded at the crazy girl beside him, Meng Xinghe had no choice but to walk back to his old house dejectedly.
"Hey, little Sizi, long time no see, please give me a hug."
"Sir, long time no see," Xiao Sizi said, evading Mr. Meng's enthusiasm easily.
"Well, Princess Xijia, you are here too, let's shake hands,"
"Damn it, I'm not familiar with you," Princess Chei still had the same bad attitude toward Meng Xinghe as when they met.
"Hey, Miss Long'er, nice to meet you. You're coming to my house too. Hey, your hands seem to have become thinner. Let me take a look."
"Haha, okay, I'm just afraid that the ladies will kick me out later," Xiao Long'er, a dancer I met in ***, jokingly refused.
As soon as he entered the room, he first said hello to the three women and greeted them in the same fluid manner as before. There was tea on the table. Meng Xinghe picked up the teapot without any image and started to drink it. After everyone After everyone entered the room, Mr. Meng took a few sips of tea, then sat in the seat that belonged to the head of the family, and looked at the seven or eight women in front of him without saying a word.
"Why, you don't recognize me anymore, or you don't want me to come back," Master Meng said with a serious face, and his thick voice accentuated his angry tone.
"I don't recognize you. What do you want? You still know how to go home. Look how long it has been today."
If there is a woman in Master Meng's harem who dares to talk back to him, it is undoubtedly the two clever ghosts Lu Ning and Meng Die. However, since Miss Lu became pregnant, her maternal brilliance has become even greater. , on the contrary, Miss Mengdie is increasingly becoming the number one spokesperson for the ladies of the Meng family.
"I've betrayed you." Suddenly, Meng Xinghe's voice became extremely loud, and he jumped up from his seat with a whoosh. The girls were startled, thinking that he was going to do something ridiculous or have sex with Mengdie. After a big quarrel, who would have known that what Mr. Meng did next was something no one expected.
Because no one could have imagined that Mr. Meng, who was so angry just now, would change so quickly, and his change seemed to be organized and premeditated.
"Ladies, look, today is also New Year's Eve. I haven't bought any couplets at home, and I haven't purchased many new year's goods. I don't know if I've prepared the fireworks tonight. In the New Year tomorrow morning, your husband is an official of the imperial court, so he might go back to visit the imperial court. "You ministers, do you have to prepare this gift tomorrow? Look, it's already past noon, and I see you haven't eaten either." After saying this, Meng Xinghe said to the maids outside: "You go. Tianxianglou ordered a table of the best food and wine to be delivered to the Meng Mansion. The master is back, and this house cannot remain deserted."
After saying that, Mr. Meng looked around and saw that what he just said still had some effect. The serious expression on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by the wisdom of the head of the family making decisions. He knew that he would disappear. After so many days, the ladies of the family may have been anxious. On this New Year's Day, the head of the family has not come back. How can they think about preparing anything? From the door of Meng's Mansion that was closed just now, Meng Xinghe could see everyone in the family. The lady has never smiled before.
Thinking of this, Meng Xinghe personally walked down from the position of the head of the family. He was not afraid that there were others around. He first took Miss Mengdie's hand, kissed her cheek, and asked softly: "Why are you here in Chang'an?" , where is Ning'er, where is mother,"
"Well," Miss Mengdie's face turned red with embarrassment after being kissed like this: "Ning'er had difficulty moving and stayed in Jiangdu. Not long after you left, the Holy Father issued an edict to Jiangdu, saying that there would be a Chang'an Lantern Festival this year. , asked Mr. Lu from Jiangdu to come to Chang'an to participate. We were afraid that something bad would happen to the lantern festival and followed Mr. Lu. My mother was still in Taoyuan County. However, after we left, Mr. Lu took him back to the Governor's Mansion. Sisters Jinfeng Yulu will take care of my mother, so don’t worry,"
After roughly telling Meng Xinghe the purpose of their coming to the capital, Miss Mengdie's eyes, which were slightly red and swollen, could no longer suppress the longing in her heart and burst into tears.
"We came to Chang'an and heard that you disappeared while in Heqing County. The eldest brother and the second brother have gone out to search for a hundred miles around Chang'an, but there is no sign of you. The sisters are worried that you will not come back. This family is missing. You are nothing, how can you still be in the mood to care about whether he is celebrating the New Year? My husband, Mengdie dreams about you appearing at the door of his house every night. I just saw you coming back and thought I was dreaming. I was afraid that I would wake up from the dream accidentally. My husband will also disappear. In fact, in fact, I really want to run into your arms and let you hold me tightly."
Saying "Hold me tightly", Meng Xinghe already took Mengdie into his arms.
"My silly wife,"
Feeling indescribable happiness in his heart, Meng Xinghe turned his attention to his other two wives, Xue Shiyu and Yang Xiruo. Although these two were more reserved than Mengdie and would not show much of their feminine sides in front of others, they Their eyes were red and they were biting their mouths as if they were holding back their sobs.
It was really hard for the wives at home. He never felt as cold as at this moment in his heart. Master Meng just felt that he should have returned home long ago to accompany his wives who came from Jiangdu.
"Shi Yu, you go down and make arrangements for the accommodation of these guests. After lunch later, I will accompany you to go around Chang'an City and buy everything you need to buy. In the evening, call my elder brother , Second brother, and Luo Feng, and those two boys Xue Rengui, let’s all have a reunion dinner together,”
Knowing that Xue Shiyu has now become the wife of the Meng family's logistics arrangements, Meng Xinghe will leave these trivial matters to her to arrange. After seeing Meng Xinghe come back, Xue Shiyu immediately regained his energy, as if he had found the backbone of his attachment and became a new person. Back to that shrewd housekeeper.
"Okay, everyone is hungry. The food and drinks from Tianxiang Tower will be delivered shortly. Now, is it time to start dinner? I'm really hungry." After scratching his head, Mr. Meng smiled very realistically. This is difficult for outsiders to do. I saw a kind of smile. He would smile so beautifully only when he was at home.
After the wind and waves wiped out the table of food sent by Tianxianglou, there were ten women in the family. In addition to Shi Luoshen, Yuxiang Concubine and Aunt Yun, these three women who didn't like to go out to buy things, Xiao Sizi and Chai Xijia And Miss Xiao Longer stayed to lead the maids to clean the Meng Mansion. The other five women gathered Master Meng in the middle. Everyone got on a carriage and set off directly to the most prosperous East Market in Chang'an City. Of course, as for Miss Du and Why the woman named Linlang wanted to go shopping with Meng Xinghe is unknown, but the two women seemed to have blended into the festive atmosphere of Mr. Meng's family, and gradually regarded themselves as someone from Mr. Meng's family. Required hostess.
Meng Xinghe didn't think so much. In his opinion, whether it was Xiao Sizi, Chai Xijia, or Xiao Long'er, they were all worth a thousand dollars. How could they not come to Meng Mansion from their own homes? In name, he came to visit, but in fact he wanted to find some happiness here. Mr. Meng couldn't bear to refuse others.
It’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together. I don’t know how long the happy days can last. Anyway, the Lantern Festival is coming soon. Chang’an City is destined to be shrouded in haze and blood again, just like the Xuanwu Battle more than 20 years ago. Like a civil coup, everything is brewing slowly,
