From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 142

The night was as deep and black as ink. Some people fell asleep as soon as they touched the pillows, while others tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.Can't sleep at night, tossing and turning, Zongzheng Mingzhen, who drank a jar of wine with his mother, should have been drowsy, but who knew that he became more sober after drinking the wine, and the more he drank, the clearer his mind became.It was his mother, Bai Yulan, who was so drunk that she cried loudly, and fell asleep on the wine table while crying.

In fact, he wasn't sleepy at all, he was still a little drowsy at first, but he didn't know why when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of Mei Xin's figure.Although he was drugged that night, he was not as unaware as she was. On the contrary, he remembered it very clearly.Sentimental reactions, unconscious crooning, as if a lingering and beautiful music can be heard endlessly.It rushed into his heart and took root, and those deep and cold eyes, the indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away, made him never forget it.

To him, Mei Xin was undoubtedly strange, different from all the women he had ever seen, so he couldn't help feeling somewhat curious.

Why do you insist on keeping the child? Could it be that you are in love with the prince?
But it was the first time for her to meet the prince, so if she really fell in love, it would be too soon.Falling in love at first sight does not seem to be the same, and it is not difficult to find her reaction to this matter when she thinks about her attitude towards the prince.But why do you insist on keeping the child if you don't like it? Wouldn't it be better to drink the abortion medicine quietly.

There are countless bachelors in the army who cannot marry a wife, and there are so many men in the world.With her status and appearance, even if she is not perfect, she can marry a general of the fifth rank or above.Moreover, the Mei family has a family general, and all unmarried and high-ranking unmarried people around Mei Zhannan will definitely be willing to marry her.He believed that as long as she asked, the men in the Mei family's army would fight to be her husband, but why did she insist on keeping the child instead of doing so?
Unmarried adultery and pregnancy without a matchmaker is a big deal no matter where it is, and if it spreads out, it will ruin your life.Besides, marrying someone who is not perfect and marrying someone with a child are completely different things, he doesn't believe that Mei Xin doesn't know which is more important.

It is not brave but stupid to do something knowing that there is nothing to be done, but when he thinks that the father of the child is himself, Zongzheng Mingzhen feels an indescribable feeling in his heart.Like secretly happy, but also like rejoicing that his plan did not succeed when he was in Liangzhou.

The mother said that her grandfather had saved her father and had saved their family's life, so from today onwards he would no longer be able to try to make her abort.He didn't know if she would be able to keep the child if he didn't act. The capital city was undercurrents, and the Mei family was suspected by the emperor again. She was afraid that she would be terrified for a long time to come.

Thinking of her calm face and calm eyes, Zongzheng Mingzhen felt a little complicated.He didn't know when Mei Xin entered his line of sight, and gradually attracted his attention, and her firm heart began to waver.The feelings that should have been sharp-edged became blurred, and became unclear.

"Master Hou, are you still awake? Are you thirsty? Do you want a drink?" Liu Jiu, who was lying in the outer room, probably heard the sound of the bed, got up, and tiptoed to the door of the inner room, he asked in a low voice.

Like Li Yu, Liu Jiu was an entourage, only divided into first class and second class, but because Li Yu was punished and was temporarily expelled from the Marquis Mansion, Liu Jiu, who was originally a second class entourage, was promoted to first class.Of course, he is also clever, and his martial arts mind is no worse than Li Yu's. He was buried because of Li Yu's presence before.

After hearing the sound, he simply sat up, and Zongzheng Mingzhen lifted the bed curtain and said lightly, "Come in!"

Sheng Luo opened the door six or nine times and walked in, first lit the lamp and then poured water, and then sent it to Zongzheng Mingzhen and said, "Master Hou, is it too uncomfortable to drink, do you want to drink some honey water to soothe the wine?"

I don't know who said that honey water can cure alcohol, Liujiu expressed doubts about it.However, Zongzheng Mingzhen had already drank hangover soup before going to bed, so it would be useless to drink it now.

Reaching out to take the teacup and taking two sips of warm water, Zongzheng Mingzhen pointed to the stool next to him and said, "It's not about the wine, I can't sleep, sit down and talk to me for a while."

Seeing that he was frowning, Liujiu seemed to have something on his mind, so he sat down obediently and said, "Okay, I don't know what Master Hou wants to say?"

Because of the similar age, Liujiu has served in his yard for many years and is not afraid of him.And he knew very well in his heart that if he showed timidity, it would actually displease him. If he didn't like it, he would be kicked out in minutes, just like Li Yu.

I really don't like the upset feeling now, Zongzheng Mingzhen put down the teacup in his hand and said, "What are you talking about, tell me about you, is there a girl you like?"

Since he never thought that he would ask himself this question after staying up in the middle of the night, Liujiu was stunned immediately.However, that was only for a moment. After a moment, he nodded very honestly and said, "Yes, but she doesn't like me."

I have never thought about emotional matters, and it was the first time I thought about women tonight, Zongzheng Mingzhen was a little surprised and said: "Why, I despise you as a follower?"

He is very clear about Liujiu's situation. His parents are still alive, and there is an older brother and a younger sister.My elder brother is married and currently working as the head of one of his mother's villages.My younger sister is also married, the bastard son of a merchant's family, which is not bad.As for himself, a good-looking talent, although the Hou Mansion is not what it used to be, but after all he is working beside the queen's younger brother.Therefore, his family is well-off, his parents are loving, and he has few brothers and sisters. As long as he puts his heart into his work, he can be said to have a bright future.

One sentence hit the root, and Liujiu reported truthfully: "Well, her background is not good, and she won't have any great prospects in the future, and her family members don't agree."

Maybe it's because she's let go and relieved, when Liujiu answered calmly, there was no trace of sadness on her face.

Speaking of his background, Zongzheng Mingzhen sighed deeply, leaned on the big welcoming pillow, and said with emotion: "The background is not good, the Taizu is still born with mud legs, what is there to dislike. Besides, marrying It's you, not your origin, so it has nothing to do with it. A woman who dislikes the poor, loves the rich, and is greedy for vanity is not worthy of you. Moreover, if a husband and wife can only share the same wealth, then when they encounter difficulties, they will be as soon as possible. Will abandon you. You should thank her for not liking you."

Husband and wife are one body, one prospers and both prospers, one loses both, if you can't share joys and sorrows, you have no intention of marrying.

Liujiu and his parents also thought so, nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, she was married two days ago, and I heard that she is blind, but her family is rich, and as soon as she went over, she took care of the house and had a good time. it is good."

It still hurts to say that I would rather marry a blind man than be with him.However, everyone has his own ambitions and should be blessed.
