Concubine's true colors

Chapter 57
Xiao Jinxuan could also see the reluctance on everyone's faces, but she didn't have time to explain this.

After another half an hour, the charcoal fire was half burned, all the soft food was burned, and there was only the last food box left.

And if the huge ice wants to make a hole out of it, I'm afraid it will take half a stick of incense.

At this moment, Deng Jiu walked over awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "Miss Si, I'm afraid your method won't work, now that there is nothing to wrap the charcoal in, let's continue digging ice.

If we continue to delay, if Mr. Meng really dies in front of our eyes, he won't be able to explain to the Meng family this time. "

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Meng Wenjun, who was so angry that he was crying. He felt that today's matter was simply thankless. No matter whether Mr. Meng could be saved or not, this Miss Meng probably hated the Xiao family to death. Yes, when I go back, I will say that the Xiao and Meng families must form an enmity.

Xiao Jinxuan heard the words, then pointed to the dilapidated giant ice, and shook her head helplessly.

"Steward Deng, you also think I'm doing too much, just adding to the chaos, don't you?"

Deng Jiu didn't speak, but the expression on his face actually meant that.

Xiao Jinxuan sighed, and continued: "Steward Deng, let me ask you, if the ice is really broken, what will happen?"

Slightly taken aback, Deng Jiu was confused by the question, and subconsciously said: "If the ice is cut open, Mr. Meng will be able to get out of trouble, he was rescued."

But Xiao Jinxuan's expression suddenly became very serious, and she said slowly: "Then Steward Deng, tell me, how did you rescue Mr. Meng the moment this giant ice fell down in an instant? , can you keep it!"

When Deng Jiu heard the words, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak immediately. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.

That's right, if you knock and chisel the huge ice at will, although the ice will crack, the hundreds of catties of broken ice will all be crushed at once, let alone saving Mr. Meng's leg, I am afraid that the other party's life will be killed. It's time to explain.

There are also people digging ice around, if they are hit at the vital point, they will either die or be injured.

At this moment, when he was looking at the crowd who were clumsily baking ice cubes, he didn't think Xiao Jinxuan was unnecessary, and even he was afraid to think, fortunately, the fourth lady followed, otherwise they really wanted to do it with good intentions Something went wrong.

Wanting to understand the relationship between them, he hurriedly said: "Miss Si, I, Deng Jiu, have convinced you, but now that the things wrapped in charcoal are gone, what should I do?"

Xiao Jinxuan squinted her eyes, thought for a moment, and immediately said: "Tell everyone, take off a coat and give me a tael of silver, I don't believe that this giant ice can't be melted!"

As the saying goes, under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Once Deng Jiu conveyed Xiao Jinxuan's words, the servants were so happy that a piece of clothing can be exchanged for a tael of silver.

You must know that ordinary people can live a very comfortable life by spending five taels of silver a month, and the monthly salary of these servants is only two taels or four taels of money, and today they only need to take off a few clothes, then It can be more than the money earned in a month.

The people who were a bit sluggish at first immediately became enthusiastic and quickly took off their outer jackets. If Deng Jiu hadn't stopped them, they couldn't take off their underwear. I'm afraid that the servants present would have to take off their underwear until only a pair of underwear was left. Let it go.

It was another busy work, and within half a stick of incense, the giant ice stuck to the leg of Mr. Meng finally melted a hole with his leg as the center point, and then everyone hurriedly rescued him.

With all his hands and feet, he helped Mr. Meng to the carriage. Before everyone could catch their breath, they heard a "bang" behind them, and then there was a loud noise.

When I turned around to look, I realized that it turned out that the huge piece of ice just now was finally unbearable to be cut, melted, shattered and collapsed.

This turn of events really shocked everyone into a cold sweat. If they were a little slower, half of the people here would suffer.

Now, Deng Jiu also had time to tell everyone the reason why Xiao Jinxuan stopped digging the ice and insisted on carefully melting a hole in the ice.

Some people who originally sneered at Xiao Jinxuan looked at her with admiration in their eyes, and they were secretly afraid that if the fourth lady hadn't stopped her in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And Meng Liangjun, who was at the side, naturally heard Deng Jiu's words clearly, his face blushed, and he lowered his head, even embarrassed, and went to look at Xiao Jinxuan.

Seeing Meng Liangjun's appearance, Xiao Jinxuan was angry and funny.

Just now the other party said something out of choice, but she was not angry. After all, thinking about it from another perspective, if it was Xiao Wenyao who was stuck in the giant ice, she might be more irrational than the other party.

Stepping forward and tugging at the corner of Meng Liangjun's clothes, Xiao Jinxuan said with a smile: "What are you doing standing here with your head down? When the person was not rescued, you cried so loudly that you didn't even look at it when the person was rescued." I don't know how to say hello."

Hearing Xiao Jinxuan's tone, she didn't seem to be angry, Meng Liangjun hurriedly raised his head, pouted embarrassingly.

"Jinxuan, I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now, please don't be angry with me."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan glared at her with a smile, and said softly: "If I'm angry, would I still talk to you now? I'm not in the car yet."

After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly, turned around and left. Meng Liangjun laughed through his tears, trotted a few steps, put his arm around Xiao Jinxuan's arm, and walked with her to the carriage with a bouncing bouncing.

The carriage began to return to Yangzhou City. The spacious interior of the carriage now seemed a little crowded because of the extra son of the Meng family who was lying on his side.

At this moment, Xiao Jinxuan was looking at this Mr. Meng with interest, especially when she saw that the other party was in a coma and was still holding on to the volumes of books in her hand, she couldn't help laughing, what a nerd.

She was busy saving people just now, so she didn't care about other things, but now that she was free, she realized that this Mr. Meng had more than ten books wrapped in his clothes, and he was holding several books in his hand, and he just When he was dragged from the ground, there were fifty or sixty books piled up under him.

When life and death are at stake, he still thinks about how to protect the book, he is really a bookworm.

Xiao Jinxuan was bored, so she casually picked up a scroll of manuscripts from the side and read them.

When he was in the private school just now, Meng Liangjun said that books were her brother's treasures, so he simply brought back all the collected books, and the book she is reading now is one of the volumes.

But after only reading two lines, Xiao Jinxuan, who was a little tired, slowly sat up straight and read carefully with joy in her eyes. The manuscript in front of her, the more she likes it the more she reads it, the more she feels that the person who wrote this manuscript has learned a lot. knowledgeable.

This manuscript is a translation of the Analects, which is different from any general translation of the Analects she has read before. The contents of this manuscript are not only erudite and comprehensive, but also have unique insights. After reading only a few pages, it gave her a lot of inspiration and gained a lot rich.

Meng Liangjun was on the side, resting his chin with one hand, looking at Xiao Jinxuan's infatuated expression, he shook his head helplessly.

"I originally thought that my brother was a book lover. I didn't expect Jinxuan, a daughter of yours, to like to read these things. I can't do it anymore. Let me read a book. Within half an hour, I will be sleepy." Can't fall asleep."

When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she didn't take her eyes off the manuscript, and said absent-mindedly: "It depends on what kind of book it is, such a good product can be read carefully, but it's a good thing, I will gain a lot from coming with you today. "

But at this moment, there was a faint coughing sound.

"Cough cough... little... miss, this crude work, cough... can't be called a masterpiece."

The sudden faint man's voice made Xiao Jinxuan stunned for a moment, and then she realized that it was Mr. Meng lying in the car who was talking to her.

Meng Liangjun on the side also cheered, and threw himself on her brother, crying and laughing, very excited.

Being pressed down by Meng Liangjun, this Mr. Meng coughed again, and then, quite helplessly, he gave Meng Liangjun a very doting look.

"Jun'er, if you don't get up, I will be crushed to death by you. You must have eaten a lot of cakes in the past two days, and the amount is heavy again."

Xiao Jinxuan on the side couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, she didn't expect that the brothers and sisters of the Meng family had such a good relationship, and with such a funny and loving elder brother, it's no wonder that the indulgent Meng Liangjun is so frank and cute.

Stepping forward and coaxing the pouting Meng Liangjun up, Xiao Jinxuan raised the book in her hand and looked at Mr. Meng with a smile.

"My lord, listen to what you mean, you wrote this manuscript?"

Mr. Meng nodded, and because his body was weak, he said in a low voice: "It's from my hand, but compared with the works of sages, it's really crude, and I shouldn't be so respected by Miss. I don't know how to call Miss Meng Mian. "

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Meng Mian in disbelief, secretly surprised, how could it be him?
In fact, it's no wonder that she was so surprised, mainly because in her previous life, this Meng Mian was too famous, even if she returned to Yangzhou and was imprisoned in the family temple not long after, she was still very familiar with this Mr. Meng.

Because this Meng Mian had the title of the number one talented scholar in Yangzhou in her previous life, the idea that salt can melt snow that she suggested to Prince Rui before was proposed by Meng Mian, but she didn't expect that this person was actually Meng Liangjun's brother.

She didn't think about it before, it was because of the previous life, this Meng Mian was a disabled person, his legs were sawed off for some reason, so the Meng Mian in front of him has sound limbs, even if the manuscript is wonderfully written, Xiao Jinxuan didn't expect that he was the number one talent in Yangzhou.

Surprised in her heart, she glanced at Meng Mian's lap a few more times, and she suddenly understood.

Since Meng Mian is a healthy person now, it means that he is not born with a disability. In his previous life, he was gradually known because of the snow disaster. But since then, Meng Mian has no legs.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but make a bold guess, that is, in her previous life, this Meng Mian was once trapped under the huge ice, and it must be Meng Liangjun who came to save him, and Meng Liangjun chose the method of saving people, and it was as fateful as before. People desperately smashed the huge ice, and Meng Mian's leg was probably sawed off because of this!
By the way, it must be so right!The more Xiao Jinxuan thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was extremely great.

In other words, because of her appearance in this life, this Mr. Meng was prevented from becoming a useless person, and the trajectory of his life has completely changed. What will happen in the future has become an unpredictable unknown.

It seems that she was reborn, and many things are changing because of her intervention, and everything is different from life.

This feeling sometimes made Xiao Jinxuan feel like he was dreaming.
