"Why haven't you come back yet?" Meng Jin paced back and forth in the small courtyard, looking nervously in the direction of the courtyard door.
The time agreed between Meng Ziliang and Zheng Lingyin was Youshi, but now Xushi had come to an end. The night was already dark, but Meng Ziliang was still nowhere to be seen. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Chu Qingxiao and others were also sitting at the stone table, waiting with Meng Jin.
"Stop wandering around. If they can talk for so long, they might get back together and get back together again. This is a good thing..." Lu Sandao took a sip of wine and spoke in confusion.
"That can't be done!" Ziyu on the side frowned when he heard this.
Everyone heard the sound and stared at Ziyu strangely, with puzzled expressions.
But Ziyu said seriously: "This plot can't be like this."
"Think about it, if they really get back together, what will Nangong Yunfu do? They have already been engaged!"
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he glanced at Ziyu strangely: "When did Miss Ziyu worry about other people's marriages?"
"Why should I worry about their marriage?" Ziyu rolled her eyes at Chu Qingxiao, and then said: "If they get back together, how can there be a three-year agreement, and how can they go to Nangong's family to become a son-in-law! Don't leave the protagonist template, go and be a son-in-law. Supporting role, isn’t that a fool?”
Everyone: "..."
But just when everyone was speechless at Ziyu's strange brain circuit, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Everyone focused their attention on it at this time.
They saw that the person who came was none other than Meng Ziliang, whom they had been worried about.
Seeing Meng Ziliang return, Meng Jin was the first to step forward quickly and wanted to ask what happened.
But when he walked in, he saw Meng Ziliang pushing open the courtyard door and speaking towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Yes, yes, it's right here. Thank you for your hard work. Slow down and put them all on the table!"
As he said these words, a group of men wearing traditional clothes and shop waiters walked into the door outside the Meridian Gate. They all held two food boxes in their hands, one on the left and the other on the right.
The food box is beautifully decorated and has four layers, making it obvious that it is not used by ordinary people.
After hearing Meng Ziliang's words, a group of four or five men came to the stone table where everyone was sitting and placed food boxes on it. The small stone table was piled up in an instant.
Everyone looked in a daze, and the last man who arrived carried four jars of fine wine and put them aside. When Lu Sandao saw this, he recognized the appearance of the wine jars at just one glance: "Longhu Blue and White!"
That was one of the best wines in Tianxuan City. A jar was worth at least ten taels. Even when he was working as a guard at Qingque Peak and receiving a high monthly salary, Lu Sandao had to think carefully about drinking this wine. Ichiban's money balance in his hand.
Everyone was a little puzzled. Didn't Meng Ziliang go to Jinyu Hall to meet his old lover? Why didn't anyone bring it back, but there was a lot of food?
While he was still confused, he heard Meng Ziliang and the group of waiters and stewards continue to speak in a serious manner.
"In the future, we will also send them here, one portion each for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We can't repeat the same within three days, otherwise we will get tired of eating too much."
"The same goes for this wine, four jars a day, delivered in the morning."
The person in charge nodded respectfully, and after listening to Meng Ziliang's somewhat nagging instructions, he said goodbye to everyone with a smile on his face, and respectfully left the small courtyard.
It wasn't until they left that everyone in the courtyard came back to their senses.
"No... what is going on?" Meng Jin looked at the full food boxes on the stone table in a daze. At this time, Ziyu, who couldn't bear the curiosity, had already opened the food boxes, but saw seven or eight food boxes. , each of which contains three or four exquisite dishes.
As soon as the food box was opened, a scent filled the courtyard.
"This seems to be a dish in Jinyu Hall, right? I'm afraid I won't be able to get it if I don't have twenty or thirty taels of silver on this table." Ziyu muttered.
Meng Ziliang said at this time: "These are all invited by Ling Yin."
"Did she invite you? Are you really reconciled?" Meng Jin suddenly looked incredulous after hearing this.
"No." Meng Ziliang responded.
"Then why did she treat us to such a sumptuous meal? What did you say?" Meng Jin frowned.
She had never had a good impression of Zheng Lingyin. When Meng Ziliang showed off his talent, she followed Meng Ziliang inseparably every day. Although her appearance could not be called flattering, she was very well-behaved.
But something happened to Meng Ziliang later, and she never came back and there was no news. Even for things like breaking off the engagement, they just sent one of his disciples to come forward and push the betrothal gift without saying a few words. Turn around and leave.
Even now, Meng Jin can't help but feel itching with hatred when she thinks of that disciple's arrogant look.
Facing Meng Jin's inquiry, Meng Ziliang just blinked his eyes and said calmly: "Lingyin had something to do and was not there."
"Huh?" Everyone who had originally thought that the two of them had reunited changed their expressions after hearing this.
"What do you mean? Didn't she ask you out? Why didn't you come again?" Chu Zhaozhao frowned and asked, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone. Obviously, in Chu Zhaozhao's view, Zheng Lingyin's behavior was quite inappropriate. It's disrespectful.
Meng Ziliang shook his head: "Maybe something really delayed her, but she also asked a mother-in-law to come and give me a message."
"What did she say?" Meng Jin asked quickly.
However, I had some expectations for those words in my heart. After all, I wasn’t even there in person, so I’m afraid the words I brought were not good words.
Meng Ziliang said: "I don't know, I didn't listen."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions became strange.
How could there be any reason for not listening? I'm afraid it wasn't what Zheng Lingyin asked someone to say. It was too heartless, and Meng Ziliang couldn't accept it, or he didn't want to talk to outsiders.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Meng Ziliang with a bit of heartache.
"Haha, you're right if you don't want to hear it. There's nothing good about what that kind of woman says, so just don't listen!" Ziyu said this when she came to her senses first.
Chu Qingxiao also hurriedly took out the food from the food box and echoed: "Yes, Brother Meng, don't worry about it. You probably haven't eaten yet. Come on, we are hungry too. Let's try Jin Yutang's craftsmanship together. Don't worry about those things." Go and think about it.”
Yue Jian also picked up a mouthful of food at this time, put it in his mouth, and said in an extremely exaggerated tone: "The food in Jinyutang is different. Come and eat some, eat something delicious. Don't be happy." Just forget it and you won’t be sad!”
Everyone was obviously not very good at comforting others, but they still tried their best to comfort Meng Ziliang.
Meng Ziliang, who heard this, blinked his eyes and said with some confusion: "But... she doesn't dare to see me, why should I be sad?"
When he said this, Meng Ziliang's face was very calm.
So much so that everyone was stunned, and it was difficult to tell whether Meng Ziliang who said these words was sincere or was pretending for his own dignity.
Meng Jin saw this and said quickly: "As long as you don't feel sad, let's eat. These Jinyutang meals are very rare. Now that I have packed them back, I often eat them. I won't be able to eat such meals when I return to Muzhou in the future." ”
In Meng Jin's view, Zheng Lingyin's attitude clearly explained everything. Meng Ziliang should also let go of his obsession, and their leaving Tianxuan City and returning to Muzhou should also be put on the agenda.
"But I haven't seen Ling Yin yet." Meng Ziliang certainly heard the implication of Meng Jin's words, and he frowned and said so.
"Why do you want to see her again? She's already done this to you, and you still haven't given up?" Meng Jin's heart tightened when she heard this, and she asked at that time, probably because she didn't understand the reason why her brother was so persistent. Jin's tone was a little more annoyed.
Meng Ziliang looked at his sister: "I met her not because I have any other thoughts about her, but because I have something to say to her face to face."
Meng Ziliang's attitude was weird, and in the eyes of everyone, he seemed to be evil-minded, but the other party still treated her unintentionally.
The scene was a little frozen for a while.
Meng Jin looked angry, but Meng Ziliang had no intention of giving in. He looked directly at Meng Jin at that time.
Both sides refused to give in to each other.
"Miss Meng Jin, if Brother Meng has this obsession, you better not force it. Let's think of other ways to let them meet. For Brother Meng, this is the best result." Chu Qingxiao saw this. He spoke out words of persuasion.
"Meet? How?" Meng Jin asked angrily after hearing this.
"Isn't there some kind of sword-teaching conference? This is how we planned to come from the beginning!" Chu Zhaozhao said from the side.
Meng Jin said: "That requires a thousand pieces of spiritual iron jade. We have been busy these days and managed to get a total of fifty spiritual iron jade. She even stole them."
Speaking of this, Meng Jin turned his head and glanced at Lu Sandao who was quietly trying to open the wine Meng Ziliang had brought back.
Lu Sandao also felt that he was wrong. Hearing the sound, he subconsciously retracted his outstretched hand, shrank his neck and lowered his head.
"What's more, is it worth it for such a woman?" Meng Jin still said angrily.
She wasn't angry with Lu Sandao, she just felt that Zheng Lingyin was already so heartless, why didn't her brother give up and only wanted to rely on others.
But Yue Jian said at this moment: "I don't think this matter has anything to do with Zheng Lingyin!"
"It's her business that she's never heartless, but Mr. Meng has the right to see him. There's no reason why Mr. Meng should have a knot in his heart because of her fault. What's more, I think since Mr. Meng insists on seeing her, then There must be something important to say to her.”
"Since I want to say, not to mention a thousand, but ten thousand spiritual iron jade, it is still worth it!"
"Isn't that what people should be like? Isn't it the meaning of life to be able to do what you want to do?"
As soon as Yue Jian finished speaking, Meng Jin couldn't help but be stunned.
Even Ziyu, who wasn't that friendly with her, couldn't help but look at her a second time when she heard this: "Although you are annoying, what you say makes sense."
"I also think Yue Jian is right. Brother Meng did nothing wrong. Why is he being humiliated like this? Let's redouble our efforts from tomorrow. We will definitely be able to raise enough spiritual iron jade. The more we are not allowed to see him, the harder it will be for us. I want to see her!" Chu Qingxiao also said at this time.
"Even if we want to break off the engagement, we have to be the ones to speak. She was forced to marry Meng Ziliang at the beginning. What qualifications does she have to say this!" Ziyu also echoed: "When the time comes, when you see her, you will do it in front of her. In front of her, scold her carefully so that the whole Tianxuan Mountain will know that she, Zheng Lingyin, is a snobbery who dislikes poverty and loves wealth!"
Everyone is complaining about Meng Ziliang.
And in words, he completely regarded Meng Ziliang as one of his own.
Meng Jin suddenly felt moved. Of course she was holding a breath in her heart, but it was probably because her father had always been cautious in doing things since the Meng family was defeated. Even when the Zheng family broke off the engagement, even though he was dissatisfied, his father did not dare to offend him. .
Under the influence of what she heard and saw, she also developed this temperament of looking forward and backward.
At this moment, hearing everyone's words, the arrogance of young people that should have been in my heart was also aroused.
His face turned red for a moment, and he wanted to say thank you to these companions who were sincerely willing to help him and his brother, but he felt that such words seemed pretentious, so he didn't know what to say.
Just looking at everyone, after a while, two words came out of his mouth: "Thank you..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but immediately waved their hands.
Then they got together again and discussed in a serious manner how to earn enough spiritual iron jade in the remaining days. At the same time, they did not forget to think about what Meng Ziliang would say when he saw Zheng Lingyin. , so that he can not only look handsome, but also make Zheng Lingyin lose face.
Everyone here shares the same hatred and the atmosphere is lively.
But Lu Sandao on the side looked at the four jars of fine wine on the ground with great covetousness. She licked her tongue, and finally couldn't help but interrupted everyone's words, whispering: "How about we chat while eating? ?”
After hearing this, everyone came back to their senses. Ziyu glanced at the food in front of her: "If there is anything delicious, you think we can't afford it or something, so you have to send it here! Who are you looking down on?"
"That's right, I feel sick when I see it, so throw it away!" Yue Jian also took over the words.
In the eyes of everyone, since Zheng Lingyin refused to see Meng Ziliang, the meals that were delivered to him were obviously more of a deliberate attempt to humiliate Meng Ziliang and remind him of the status gap between the two.
Lu Sandao's expression suddenly changed when she heard this. She subconsciously hugged the wine jar in front of her tightly, trying to say something to keep her wine.
"Ahem."
But at this moment, Meng Ziliang coughed slightly awkwardly and said, "I asked them to pack these back."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but soon remembered that before Meng Ziliang left, they had collected enough money to give Meng Ziliang money to pay for the meal, so as not to be laughed at by Zheng Lingyin.
"That's right. After all, our own money really cannot be wasted." Everyone suddenly changed their faces and said this.
But at this moment, Meng Ziliang took out the money that Meng Jin had given him before leaving and put it on the table.
Everyone fell silent upon seeing this.
"So she paid for these meals, and then you exported them and asked them to pack them back?" Chu Qingxiao asked a little strangely.
"Yes." Meng Ziliang nodded, his expression calm.
Meng Jin heard this and covered her forehead, a little helpless. Just thinking about that scene made her feel a little embarrassed.
After all, they clearly wanted to humiliate Meng Ziliang, but Meng Ziliang still packed the meals obediently, as if he had never seen the world. Doesn't this just satisfy the other person's bad taste?
"Can't you have some backbone?" Meng Jin asked with some hatred for iron.
"Although we are not a wealthy family, we are not short of food, right?"
Meng Ziliang blinked his eyes and said: "But she doesn't eat it, isn't it a waste to leave it there?"
"This is not a matter of waste or waste!" Meng Jin was a little helpless towards her brother Muleng, and she added: "Do you understand this is integrity? If you do this, they will definitely feel that they are giving us charity."
"Maybe not?" Meng Ziliang frowned and said uncertainly.
"Why not? If you think about it carefully, the person she sent didn't say anything when you said you were going to pack these things?" Meng Jin could only ask patiently.
"Yes, there is." Meng Ziliang nodded after hearing this.
"What did she say?" Meng Jin asked.
Meng Ziliang recalled it carefully, and then repeated what he remembered in front of everyone: "If I hadn't eaten such a good meal and could have bought more, it would be all on her lady's head." , anyway, her young lady is not short of money."
"Besides, Lingyin has her own account at Jinyutang. Someone will come to settle the accounts every month. She just lets me order whatever I want and eat whatever I want."
"Look, isn't it?" Meng Jin said angrily: "Don't you feel angry when you hear this?"
Meng Ziliang blinked when he heard this, looked at Meng Jin who reacted strangely and said, "She means well, why should I be angry? This table plus the four jars of wine cost nearly a hundred taels of silver. I really haven’t had such a meal before?”
Meng Jin secretly felt dizzy and couldn't help but ask: "So, don't tell me that you thanked her?"
She thought about it seriously, with her brother's dull character, Bao Buqi would really do such a thing. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that her face was irrelevant, and she thought that the Meng family's face would be completely humiliated by him. .
"That's not true." Fortunately, Meng Ziliang gave this answer.
"Then what did you say to her?" Meng Jin asked.
Meng Ziliang sighed calmly: "I didn't say anything. I thought that Lingyin was so considerate and I couldn't live up to her kindness, so I simply ordered the meals for the next year from Jin Yutang. Click for delivery..."
"So, sister, don't be so hostile to Suzune. I think she is a good girl!"
"Although he didn't come to see me, he was still nice to me."
puff!
Meng Ziliang said this seriously. He secretly opened the wine jar while everyone was chatting, and Lu Sandao, who took a sip, couldn't hold it in anymore after hearing these words.
With a pop, she spurted out all the wine in her mouth at that moment.
Beat Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao, who were sitting opposite her, until their bodies were soaked...
