Chapter 205: Cold rainy night

The carriage drove out of the village and was about to exit the alley. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. The driver was scared and tightened the reins.
The man whispered: "I still want to ask Master Sheng, what is he going to do when he goes out in the middle of the night?"
There was a silence in the car, and then someone reached out and lifted the curtain.
Under the moonlight, Nie Xuanxian was standing tall and jade. The night wind blew him slightly, and the rising peak of the peak carried an icy coldness.
When Sheng Jiayan saw him standing in front of him, there was a rare smile on the corner of his mouth: "General Nie is really nothing to do. You can care about the things around you. What do you do with Sheng? Besides, where do I go and what do I do with the general."
Nie Xuanxian raised his head. When he first saw Sheng Jiayan, he knew that this person would not be so calm and quiet on his face. Until now he clearly saw the expression on Sheng Jiayan's face, the indifference with a slight sarcasm, and he was very quiet and quiet in the ordinary days.
Nie Xuanxian received the letter late at night, and I don't know who sent it to his house. In the letter, Sheng Jiayan manipulated the Meng family to obtain benefits from it, and sought and provoked the relationship between Yifei and the queen with the thieves. The letter also stated that if Nie Xuanxian didn't believe it, he could wait at the alley of Meng House at midnight. If Sheng Jiayan came out, it must be true.
Nie Xuanxian, regardless of the authenticity of the letter, he discovered that the letter was tied to a cluster of arrows and nailed into the pillar at the door. Judging by the depth of the arrows clustered on the pillar, Nie Xuanxian judged that the person who delivered the anonymous letter would have at least some martial arts skills. It's about Meng House. He was inexplicably nervous and worried. So at midnight, he had been in the mouth of Meng House for a long time.
Who knew that he found Sheng Jiayan to go out in the middle of the night, and he was slightly different from what Nie Xuanxian observed on weekdays.
"I came to Yigong mainly to know that her second brother turned out to be such a person, and he would be shocked." Nie Xuanxian's voice was a little bit harsh: "Is it about your concubine's affairs?"
Sheng Jiayan smiled and raised his head.
Nie Xuanxian found that his eyes were almost heavy. That kind of light sense of persecution, but Sheng Jiayan's face was still a calm look: "The general must have been misunderstood. I am a person who temporarily logged in the Meng clan genealogy. What can you know?"
Sheng Jiayan looked at it and continued: "It's raining for such a big wind, and I think it's going to rain for a while. Sheng Mou still has something, so I don't accompany General Nie."
The carriage passed him and continued on.
Of course, Nie Xuanxian didn't let him go so easily. Following behind Sheng Jiayan's carriage, he wanted to see what Sheng Jiayan was going to do.
Originally thought he must meet someone secretly, who knew Sheng Jiayan's carriage drove all the way out of the city gate and headed west. When passing the city gate, Sheng Jiayan's people showed off the jade pass for customs clearance, and the guards guarding the city were released smoothly.
Nie Xuanxian followed up and asked, "Why did they leave the city?"
The guard said: "Yu Zi in the hand of Sheng Gongzi has the mark for rushing to the exam, which should be to the suburban post."
Nie Xuanxian raised his eyebrows. If he went to the suburban post, everything would be clear. Mr. Fu took the students to stay there temporarily, they are working hard to prepare for the interview.
Does this Sheng Jiayan really just go to meet Mr. Fu? But why did he set off at midnight.
Nie Xuanxian did not chase out the city gate, and raindrops hit his face. He looked up at the dark sky and it rained.
Nie Xuanxian turned his horse around and left. What he did not see was a white pigeon flying out of Sheng Jiayan's wagon. It flapped its wings and disappeared in the rain with the message the owner wanted to convey.
The rain was getting bigger and bigger, and the heavy downpour drowned the criss-cross streets and alleys. The night was very quiet, except for the sound of rain.
Sheng Jiayan's carriage bypassed the official road and turned up the bumpy mountain road. When the carriage stopped in front of a thatched house, the door of the house opened quietly, and Sheng Jiayan pushed the door in with cold rain.
The monk sitting on his knees listening to the scripture heard the sound, put down the book in his hand, and then got up to arrange tea.
"It's the second time, but today you are late for two incense sticks." The monk raised his face, two scars across his face, across his forehead to his cheeks, it can be imagined that he had suffered Multiple injuries: "It rains like this outside, it seems to be spring."
In the warm yellow of the dim candle in the house, Sheng Jiayan stepped out of the shadow and silently flipped through a few books that the monk had just read, and said casually: "It was a person who was just followed on the road just now and it was difficult to get around."
The monk smiled: "General Nie is awe-inspiring, and now he is well-known, and it is also expected."
Sheng Jiayan had no words, but the monk said righteously: "If there was no accident of the year, you should now be as famous as him. The Sheng Jiajun, who once made the enemy army frightened, should also be your strong backing, not Now there are words of misery under the fence."
In this way, Sheng Jiayan didn't feel wronged, but instead thought of the young Mengqiqi lying on the table, because he couldn't solve the nine-connected bun faces.
Thinking of this, Sheng Jiayan just laughed, but did not answer.
The monk sighed: "There are changes in the capital, you can easily manipulate the situation, but remember not to rush, and when necessary, don't be soft-hearted..."
After he finished speaking, Sheng Jiayan was no longer in front of him. Only the half-open wooden door shook slightly, exposing the ground that was washed by rain.
Meng Hao was awakened by the sound of rain. She is sleeping in the outer hall of the old lady. Because listening to the old Meng Meng always woke up suddenly in the past few nights, Meng Eqi was relieved, and he simply put a quilt on the Luohan bed on the outer hall at night, and took a break here.
She was awakened by the sound of rain in the middle of the night, and the lightning and thunder outside was so powerful. She picked up the curtain and looked inside. When she saw her grandmother sleeping, she lowered the curtain lightly and prepared to exit. Where did you know that the old Meng Meng coughed violently at this time, she coughed like this, and wanted to wake up, Meng Eqi quickly lifted the curtain again, and instructed the people below: "Go to the kitchen to make a bowl for my grandmother Chuanbei Loquat Soup."
Helping the old lady to sit on the bed and feed her several hot soups, the old lady is better now, and he stops coughing. She looked at the pale cyan under her granddaughter's eyes distressedly and patted her hand: "Good boy, go back to sleep in her yard, this grandmother is guarded."
Meng luxe shook his head: "Now I can't sleep anymore. I just want to guard my grandmother and watch the grandmother get better, so I can sleep well."
However, she rested her head on Ms. Meng’s lap. The old lady touched her hair for a moment, and she was full of hair, which was the age of Jiangmu. The three thousand green silk of Meng Hao was justified.
"When you were just born, there was no father and mother in that group. Your grandmother loved you and held you in your arms and refused to let go. You seemed to know everything and didn’t cry or make noises. Funeral, the grandmother's busy night can't sleep, you are also very good, never noisy, laugh when someone coaxes, and play with yourself when no one coaxes."
Meng Xuqi felt guilty for a while. She was sensible because she was conscious at the time. Even a baby, she knew what she was doing and what she was doing...
Old Meng Meng continued: "When your mother was alive, even if she was like a princess, she could be meticulous when she took care of me. I remember that one year when your sister Yihui returned, she was suddenly infected with flowers. This disease is terrible. Yes. Even your uncle and aunt dare not come close, Chengli only knows to cry, but your mother invites a doctor from the palace, and personally follows up to take care of your elder sister until the sister Hui is all right."
"Yuqiu, your mother is really a very virtuous person and a very nice person. So even if your father follows her, I can’t bear to blame her. I let her rest assured in front of her tombstone, I You will take good care of you until you grow up. Now your grandmother is older and your body is not as good as a day, and you have grown up from a baby to a big girl. After two years, you can kiss."
Meng Yuqi rubbed her head and rubbed her: "I still don't want to marry someone, I want to linger on my grandmother for a longer time!"
Old Meng Meng smiled and said: "Sooner or later they are going to marry someone. How long can they stay in the house? Grandmother used to think that even if you return home in a hundred years, you still have uncle love, Meng House will be your pillar. But what happened to Sister Zhen this time made her grandmother realize that even relying on the royal family behind her would not work. Sheng Jiayan was a good young man with a big heart in mind, and he must be a great person in the future. But his grandmother could not wait for him to grow up, So after the grandmother decided to open the spring, you can start looking for someone. Anyway, there is a reliable husband, more than anything."
Startled, Meng Wanqi stood up and said, "Grandmother! Is this a bit too hasty? I still have no elder sister and second sister on my head, why is it my turn?"
"Your eldest sister has agreed to the marriage of the Qin family, and the Qin family will come to raise their relatives shortly after coming."
what! ? Has Meng Yihui actually agreed? I still remember that she had never said anything to Qin Yue just after returning from the hot spring palace at that time. Even if she had nothing on her lips, she could see from her eyes that she had no affection for Qin Yue. Meng Wanqi didn't know what happened between them. She only knew that in the palace, she felt that Meng Yihui was different from Qin Yue. How could she not like him for a short time.
Where does she know that she has promised to marry the Qin family now? Did Meng Yihui really think about it, or was he desperate to marry? The more Meng Yuqi thought, the more he was in a mess. Qin Yue is a good person and very honest. If Meng Yihui married in the past, wouldn't these two people be like enemies?
Therefore, Meng Mengqi didn't listen carefully anymore, and all of them were perfunctory and fooled.
