auspicious time has come

Chapter 34 General Xiao's White Moonlight
For example, the most conspicuous thing on the dressing table is a red gold wreath with a safety lock on it, as well as a small mechanism bird and a rattle drum, which are obviously things for babies and children.

When she left, she took a special look at the direction under the plum tree in the courtyard, but the old servant had disappeared.

The Shan family sent them out of Meng's house with great enthusiasm, and Meng Dazhu also returned to Dingbeihou's mansion with Hengyu on the pretext that the general had an errand that he needed to handle.

When Hengyu got off the car in front of the gate of Hou's mansion, and walked into the mansion together with Meng Dazhu, he asked casually: "I saw many children's things in Mrs. Wen's room today, Captain Meng has another younger brother. Younger sister? I haven’t heard Captain Meng mention it before.”

Meng Dazhu shook his head, his tone was somewhat complicated: "Those are my sister's things."

"Sister?"

"It's the only child of my uncle and my aunt." Meng Dazhu said in a low voice when talking about this matter: "I just lost her accidentally when I was two years old, and I have never seen her. This blow caused her old illness to pass away, and my aunt's body also slowly collapsed..."

And he was born in that year, so his father promised in front of his uncle's father's spirit that in the future, he would let him and his wife inherit the incense of his uncle, and it was also to give his aunt a hope of sustaining it.

The experience of the uncle and aunt is different from others.And my father didn't care about the rumors.

Hengyu didn't expect Mrs. Wen to have such an experience, and her mood sank for a while.

Separation of flesh and blood, wandering outside... These are things she has experienced personally, so she feels more empathy.

She said sincerely: "Miss Wen is really not easy."

In the same year, he lost his husband and daughter, and lost two of his most important people.

"Yes, but my aunt has a tough heart. Although she has been in poor health these years, she is in charge of all the business accounts in the family shop. Father said that this is to give my aunt something to do. He also said that Yingzhou has more The turmoil, without the presence of my aunt, the family business would not be able to support today." Meng Dazhu's tone was admirable, but also a little ashamed: "In the past 20 years, my aunt has never given up the idea of ​​finding the whereabouts of my sister. Uncle Ping has been asking around for this, but there is no clue."

He couldn't be of much help either.

"Uncle Ping?" Heng Yu stepped a little slower, and tentatively asked, "Is that the one in Mrs. Wen's courtyard today? He seems to have kung fu."

She naturally knew that that person was Cheng Ping, and he was the person she wanted to investigate when she came to Yingzhou this time.

"That's right, my kung fu was taught by Uncle Ping."

Heng Yu: "In a merchant's house, it's rare to have this kind of skill——"

"Uncle Ping was not a servant of our Meng family, but as long as I can remember, he has been at home. According to my father, he is a good friend who retired from the battlefield with my uncle many years ago. He was born and died as a brother, because There was no family member in the family, so they stayed in my house temporarily. Later, when my uncle passed away, my parents gave him a sum of money. With his skills, it would not be difficult for him to find another place, but he insisted on staying, although he did not say The reason, but it can also be seen that it is to find my elder sister for my aunt."

Heng Yu was a little surprised.

According to this, he is a kind and righteous person.

And according to what she saw today, a simple and ordinary family like the Meng family really has nothing to do with the killers in her memory who killed without blinking an eye.

But the clues given by sister Gu are not wrong...

Therefore, even if there is no problem with the Meng family, there must be a secret hidden in this Uncle Ping.

"Don't be discouraged, your elder sister may be living well somewhere, waiting for you to find her to go home." Heng Yu finally comforted her.

"That's right, maybe I'll be able to meet noble people to help me just like I met girls back then." Jiji said: "As long as there is fate, we will meet again!"

Meng Dazhu looked at the girl with bright eyes, swept away the haze lingering in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "If you can find sister back, the aunt's heart knot will be solved, and the illness will be cured." All right!"

While Meng Dazhu was harboring hope, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Turning around to look, he quickly saluted: "The general is back!"

Every year on this day, the general will go outside the city to offer sacrifices.

Seeing Xiao Mu approaching, Heng Yu and Jiang Meiguan also saluted.

Heng Yu smelled the alcohol on the person in front of him - did he drink alcohol during the mourning ceremony?
Xiao Mu nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Hengyu for a moment, then looked at Meng Dazhu: "Dazhu follow me to the study."

"Yes." Meng Dazhu responded, not forgetting to turn his head and said to Hengyu: "Painter Ji, I'll go first."

The words were addressed to Heng Yu, but he subconsciously smiled and glanced at Ji Ji.

Jiji nodded to him: "Let's go, Lieutenant Meng."

Only then did Meng Dazhu turn around.

"Da Zhu, be careful when dealing with people in Beijing." On the way, Wang Jingyong reminded him seriously.

"Painter Ji just asked about my family affairs, and I will keep everything about the army and generals to myself!" Meng Dazhu assured.

Immediately, he glanced at his general's back, scratched his head, and said in a low voice: "General, in fact, my subordinates don't think that Painter Ji is a bad person. How could it be..."

Of course, neither is Gigi!
"How do you know she didn't act? What if it's a plan to deceive the general's trust?" Wang Jingyong looked defensive, and subconsciously clenched his fists as he spoke, "I haven't seen any tricks in the past two years."

"No one ever said she was a bad person—" Xiao Mu, who was walking in front, said noncommittally.

Meng Dazhu wanted to say more, but his general asked: "Is the marriage going well?"

Hearing this sudden change of topic, Meng Dazhu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Going back to the general, it's pretty smooth..."

Xiao Mu let out a "huh".

"General..." Meng Dazhu took another step closer, and asked uncertainly, "Does the general really want Jiang Meiguan to marry his subordinates?"

Listening to his question, Wang Jingyong also looked at his general.

Isn't this a rhetoric used to delay Jiang's media officials?

"It's time for you to start a family."

Wang Jingyong's complexion changed a few times when he heard this—married?That thing will delay making contributions, right?

Meng Dazhu hesitated to speak.

Xiao Mu didn't look back at the expressions of his subordinates, walked into the study, and got down to business.

……

That night, the Jiang media official who grabbed the melon seeds and chatted with the servants of the Hou Mansion for a long time got a lot of rewards: "... Guess what I found out? It turns out that the one who went to pay homage to Lord Xiao in person today was his sweetheart." !"

No one doesn't like to listen to gossip, and Heng Yu is no exception. She pushed a cup of tea to Jiang's matchmaker and urged: "Aunt Jiang, let's talk—"

"It is said that it is the girl who grew up with Lord Xiao's childhood sweetheart... Although she has passed away for many years, Lord Hou still has not forgotten it, and will go to pay homage every year on the anniversary of his death!" The Jiang matchmaker said with the expression of "solved the case": "No wonder it is so Reluctance to get married at a young age, so the root cause is here!"

Heng Yu nodded: "General Xiao is still such a dedicated person, it's really rare."

"Such a man values ​​love and righteousness, and is the most reliable." Jiang Meiguan changed the subject and said, "Once you fall into his eyes, you don't have to worry that he will empathize with her... Such a man can be used as a husband." , How practical, it is the first choice for home must-haves!"

　See you at noon tomorrow.
