Boom, boom, boom.
There was a rhythmic knock on the door outside the hospital.
Cui Hui thought it was Qi Yuanliang who left and returned.
Putting on warm clothes and going to open the door, the face of the person outside the door was so startling that her head went cold. If she hadn't been sensible, she would have closed the door long ago. Cui Hui secretly tightened the door bolt, pretending to be confused, and used the candlelight to carefully identify the person's identity: "Who are you?"
Cui Hui shouted out the person's true identity uncertainly.
"Plum Lady?"
The plum dream under the candlelight is more beautiful than usual.
It is astonishingly beautiful like red plum blossoms blooming on the branches.
"Mrs. Cui, please don't take offense if you come to disturb me late at night." Mei Meng's red lips opened slightly outside the door, and she smiled like a spring mountain. Raising her slender hands, she completely lifted the half-covered veil, revealing her charming eyes that were as affectionate as looking at a dog. Cui Hui was so distracted by the stunning beauty that he couldn't say anything to refuse the blame. .
Cui Hui swallowed.
Step aside and signal the other person to come in.
“No, I’m just surprised why the lady is here.”
Cui Hui knew that Mei Meng was a literary scholar, and also knew that ordinary people could not hide their inner thoughts in front of a literary scholar. She tightly restrained her voice to avoid leaking what she shouldn't.
Mei Meng took off her curtain hat and followed Cui Hui inside.
“For some personal matters.”
Cui Hui and Mei Meng were just acquaintances, meeting each other occasionally, but they also tacitly avoided each other because of the relationship between the master who was assisted by Mei Meng and the head of the Cui family. Their relationship is not close enough for Cui Hui to inquire about each other's personal affairs, so this topic can only be discussed at this point. Cui Hui started a new topic: "I wonder why the queen came to visit late at night? If it is for Mr. Cui, I have been separated from him for many years."
Mei Mengdao: "That's not the case, it's because Madam is here."
Cui Hui looked down at herself, confused: "For me?"
She has no friendship with Mei Meng.
Mei Meng may not be well-intentioned when she comes to visit you at this juncture.
Cui Hui only hoped that the people arranged by Qi Yuanliang would be smarter and send the news about Mei Meng's visit as soon as possible, so as not to implicate himself. After all, Mei Meng is a genuine literary scholar. If she had any ill intentions, even her ten lives would not be enough for her to kill him!
"Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is a happy event! I heard that my wife and the Cui family have reconciled and separated. There has been no news for many years. I never thought that I would meet my wife here. During the day, I heard from a servant that I saw you in Fugu City. It turns out that I thought he was mistaken, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
Cui Hui didn’t believe her lies at all.
Who comes to visit me late at night?
Is their relationship so good that Mei Meng couldn’t wait to find out what happened to her when she heard about it? Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Cui Hui still exchanged pleasantries with Mei Meng. If we put aside the awkwardness of their identities and time, the conversation was quite pleasant.
Mei Meng is a very talkative person.
When the two of them talked, there was almost no awkward moment.
Even if his reason told Cui Hui that there was something wrong with Mei Meng in front of him, he always forgot this point unconsciously during the conversation. Overall, Mei Meng is a person who cannot be disliked. Cui Hui himself likes beautiful people, and Mei Meng’s looks are very good!
There is a lot of chat content.
Including but not limited to the situation in Qi State and the gossip of aristocratic families.
Mei Meng also brought the current situation of Cui Hui's two sons and one daughter.
The Cui family intends to find a suitable female queen for their eldest son. The second son’s academic performance is excellent, and the younger daughter has gained a reputation in the aristocratic family circle. I heard that many matrons of high-ranking families want to marry Cui family. , some people have even begun to test the words of the Cui family, but they have been declined by the Cui family. He also takes the three children with him to educate them. Speaking of Patriarch Cui, Mei Meng mentioned in casual conversation that the Cui clan always hoped that Patriarch Cui would marry another mistress.
The Cui family has a great business and cannot do without their mistress.
Cui Hui was surprised: "He hasn't gotten married yet?"
Mei Mengdao: "The conditions are not very good."
The stranded goods in the marriage and love market.
Cui Hui's expression was subtle for a moment.
This was the first time she heard someone say that her ex-husband's conditions were not very good, but the person who said this was Mei Meng, and it was very reasonable.
My ex-husband has obvious advantages. He is in his prime, the leader of the Cui clan, and his power and status have reached the ceiling of his current stage. However, these can only prove that he is a successful man, but they cannot prove that he is a suitable husband. His shortcomings in the marriage market are also obvious. He divorced twice and has two sons and one daughter, all of whom are legitimate children. What benefits can there be in marrying a well-matched young girl?
Instead of marrying him, it is better to keep an eye on his son.
Those who are well-matched cannot be looked down upon, and those who are small cannot reach.
In addition, there is another important point.
The original wife of the Cui family leader was the leader of the Qi State.
Who knows what the attitude of the leader of the Qi Kingdom towards the men he used before, and whether he has any old feelings. Will his daughter marrying him really not be an eyesore to the king? Wouldn't the king secretly wear small shoes for his own family?
For these reasons, the Cui family leader is still single.
Cui Hui nodded and agreed with Mei Meng's words: "That's true. He is the father of three children, two sons and one daughter. The eldest son has started discussing marriage. In a few years, people will call him Aweng and marry a beautiful woman. Madam, it is indeed not appropriate..."
Mother Cui may not be the wife of the Cui family head.
She could also be the wife of Cui's eldest son.
Cui Hui knew that Mei Meng was good at wine, and it happened that there was wine in the kitchen.
He poured the wine for her, and the aroma of wine overflowed in the hall.
Mei Meng took a few sniffs and her eyes lit up.
“Good wine! This is actually the most authentic spirit brew!”
“Spirit brew?”
Mei Meng couldn’t wait to take a sip, and after a while, two A faint pink blush emerged, making her look infinitely charming. Cui Hui didn't even drink, but just looking at Mei Meng's face made him drunk.
“Lingniang is a specialty of Kang State and is extremely difficult to buy.”
The spiritual brew you can buy on the black market is basically mixed with water.
Even Mei Meng has never had a few authentic drinks.
Other places have long been hyped and become hard to find.
Cui Hui thought of the dozen or so dusty wine jars piled haphazardly in the kitchen, and was skeptical about what Mei Meng said was "extremely difficult to buy."
After a while, Mei Meng drank two jars of wine alone.
His eyes were filled with hazy mist, and his posture was lazy and casual. Even his hair seemed to be charming. Cui Hui looked at her for a moment, and Mei Meng pulled up the skirt of her clothes that had slipped off her shoulders at some point, her smile showing a bit of coquettishness.
"Madam, what are you looking at?"
"Looking at a beautiful woman under the moonlight is ten times better than in the daytime." Cui Hui swallowed, "The queen is the best in the world in the daytime. Some of them are so beautiful that even I, a woman, feel moved when I look at them now.”
< br>Mei Meng was amused by her straightforward compliment. She approached Cui Hui with a smile and exhaled the light smell of wine: "If I had known that Madam was so interesting, I should have made friends with you earlier. Maybe I could become a close friend in my boudoir."
< br>Cui Huidao: "It's not too late."
Mei Meng happily agreed: "What Madam said is true."
Lingbian without water is very easy to intoxicate, and Mei Meng was reluctant to use literary energy to relieve the hangover. After three or four jars, she was already half drunk, and her eyes were drunk. misty. Cui Hui gets drunk faster as an ordinary person.
My head was drowsy and resting on Mei Meng’s shoulder.
The two of them were chatting about something.
Cui Hui even didn't know when he fell asleep. He only knew that when he woke up, Mei Meng put the back of her hand on her forehead, propped her elbow on the table, and closed her eyes, sleeping deeply and peacefully. He rested his head on the other person's calf, causing obvious wrinkles in her skirt.
The smell of alcohol in the house was much lighter.
Cui Hui got up and rubbed his temples, which were sore from the hangover.
The sunlight outside the window pours in, leaving a ray of light behind.
When Cui Hui saw this, he wanted to scold Qi Yuanliang for being unreliable. Little did they know, Qishan had already arrived.
Arrived half an hour before dawn.
Cui Hui didn't wake up, Mei Meng pretended to be asleep, and he couldn't break in.
With a creak, the door opened.
Qishan couldn't bear to look at Cui Hui when he saw Cui Hui who was not fully awake from the hangover. Cui Hui's problem with looking at faces has not changed after so many years. As an ordinary person, he didn't know how much he confided when he met Mei Meng.
Clenched his teeth and whispered: "Haha, you are here."
Qi Shan looked past Cui Hui and towards the woman behind her.
He nodded and said hello: "Mr. Mei, long time no see."
Mei Meng tucked her loose hair behind her ears while trying to ignore the scorching heat in the dark that could almost burn people through. Looking at him, he maintained a lazy and casual smile: "Well, I wish you a good morning."
The smile on Qi Shan's face was almost unbearable.
He thought about several possibilities, but he didn't expect that Mei Meng would take the initiative to expose his whereabouts and find Cui Hui as soon as he arrived. There was obviously no hostility in her attitude, and she couldn't come up to accuse him.
"What do you mean by this? Are you waiting for me?"
Mei Meng: "Otherwise? Qijun killed two of my capable servants without any reason, and you don't allow me to come and ask for details?"< br>
When you open your mouth, you hit him with a rake.
Just admit that your eyeliner and contacts are all your own.
Qi Shan laughed angrily when he heard this.
It's rare in the world for someone to be so confident when calling for a thief.
He spread his arms directly and said: "Mr. Mei, please don't be joking. Neither you nor your servants are citizens of Kang. Our country is currently at war with Bei Mo and Gao, and its relations with the northwest countries are also tense. . Shouldn’t you be cautious when you visit unexpectedly?”
Mei Meng readily admitted her mistake without blinking an eye: "This is because I didn't think carefully. As a person like Qijun, it is true that I will not kill innocent people by mistake. This misunderstanding has caused you more trouble."
She admitted so quickly that Qishan almost couldn't react.
Prayer: "Why did Plum Lady come to Kangguo?"
Mei Meng said: "Sacrifice to ancestors."
Pray for good deeds: "..."
This reason is impeccable.
Mei Meng’s ancestral home is in Sibao County of Kang State. Although she has left, her roots are still in Kang State. It is reasonable to come back regularly to worship her ancestors. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just Mei Meng's excuse.
Qi Shan sneered: "Can ancestor worshipers have such a battle?"
If he hadn't done something small, he would have killed her people?
Small actions that exceed the bottom line will naturally lead to death.
"Why is Qi Jun so hostile?" She looked at Qi Shan with a smile, her voice was still hoarse after a hangover, and it was like a lover whispering, and the end of the sentence still had an intoxicating tone, as if there was A feather was gently scratching her heart. Seeing that she was praying for kindness without any pretense, Mei Meng had no choice but to say seriously, "Really, To be honest, I came out to travel in search of opportunities to break through. I am as beautiful as I am, but my flesh is stained with blood. Why would a jackal, tiger or leopard not want to bite me if I smell it? Is it abnormal to bring more people around me to protect myself? ”
Although this statement is suspected of narcissism, it is also true. A woman in this world, especially a stunning woman, will indeed become a trophy being chased if she does not have the ability to protect herself.
Qishan asked: "A chance to break through?"
Mei Meng stretched out, revealing the graceful arc of her waist, her shoulders looming, and her gaze in the dark became even more intense. She smiled inwardly and said casually: "The opportunity to perfect the way of the scribes. People like Qijun should also know how precious it is."
To put it simply, she went out to find opportunities.
When passing by my hometown, I planned to pay homage to my ancestors’ graves.
She is a weak woman who has been away from her homeland for so many years. Of course she will send someone to inquire about the situation in her homeland when she comes back. It is all just to protect herself. As an old friend, Qi Shan is not even allowed to do this?
Qishan: “Is that just that?”
Mei Meng covered her lips with a smile: "Otherwise? Could it be that Mr. Qi suspects that I have evil intentions and is trying to plot against Kang State? Not to mention that there is no border between Qi State and Kang State, and there is no conflict between the two countries. Even if there was, I would be in danger alone. What good can it do? ”
Every action has a purpose.
Although it was wrong for Mei Meng to appear in Kangguo in a private capacity, she did not take any measures that were detrimental to Kangguo. All her actions were just to break through opportunities, and they were allowed anywhere. Two domestic servants crossed the line and were killed. Mei Meng was at fault first, and the two sides settled. If Qi Shan wants to do anything to her in his official capacity as Kang Guo, it will only provoke a war between the two countries.
Qishan: "There is really no benefit."
The evidence is not available, and there is really nothing that can be done to the other party.
Qishan didn't intend to break up now.
On the contrary, he was very interested in the breakthrough opportunity Mei Meng said.
Calculating the time with your fingers, Mei Meng has been practicing for at least ten years. Looking back, she was not too young when she started practicing. Although he started so late, he was able to reach the threshold of perfection in the way of scribes in ten years. He is considered to be the best among literati.
Qishan took the initiative to soften his attitude.
Mei Meng naturally wants to give up when things get better.
Sometimes, the most dangerous places are the safest.
Proactive exposure is a wise move.
If Mei Meng had always been secretive and used Qi Yuan's conscience as a ruthless heart, he would definitely fish in troubled waters and kill him on the spot if he was caught. After being exposed and questioned by Qi Guo, he was able to deduce all the blame with just "I don't know".
The death of a high-ranking official from another country who entered the country concealing his identity was in vain. How could Qi Guo prove that Qi Shan knew her identity when he killed her? It cannot be proven, and naturally it cannot be convicted.
It is an unintentional mistake to pray for kindness.
Qi Guo could only suffer the loss of being dumb.
“When you meet an old friend in a foreign country, would you like to have a drink?”
Authentic spiritual brewing is not always available.
Mei Meng can also be regarded as a benefactor.
When a benefactor invites you, there is no reason to refuse.
Cui Hui got up and went to a nearby restaurant to order food and drinks.
When they came back, Qi Shan and Mei Meng had a good conversation. The content was all related to the cultivation of literary scholars, and occasionally included many obscure and difficult spiritual methods. This gave Cui Hui a sense of separation - as if the two corpses were just her imagination.
"Each has his or her own agenda."
Four words are enough to describe the two of them at this time.
Qi Shan did not get any benefits from Mei Meng. After sitting for a while, he stood up and left, secretly sending someone to keep an eye on her.
"General Lu?"
The carriage drove for a while without seeing Lu Jue appear.
Qishan called out twice more: "General Lu?"
After checking around, he couldn't find Lu Jue's aura.
He thought of something and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"It's so disappointing!"
ヾ(ゞ)
I don't know why, every time I write about Lu Jue and Mei Meng, I always feel like I'm driving.
