Chapter 119 Gentlemen grow old together 1

Suddenly, Meng Huan suddenly realized, why did he lose so much weight again?

Why... does he look so haggard?

Meng Huan walked up quickly, put the painting aside, embraced Song Zhi with one hand, and patted him on the back with the other to help him feel better.

It wasn't until Song Zhi coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood that Meng Huan's face suddenly changed.Hearing what Jin Ming said was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes was another.

"Zi Lan!" Meng Huan was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, he forgot all about the painting, and while wiping the blood from the corner of Song Zhi's mouth with his sleeve, he asked, "How are you?"

"Call Pei Ya!" Meng Huan turned his head and said sharply, "Quickly, go and call Pei Ya!"

"Yes! I'm going now, servant!" Jin Ming was so frightened that Huarong turned pale, and rushed out as soon as he turned around.

"Zhengnan..." After coughing up blood, Song Zhicai gasped and said softly, "...I'm fine."

Meng Huan stared at him: "Is it okay? Is this still called okay?"

Song Zhi smiled wryly, and said helplessly: "You are just married, what are you doing here with me, it's against the rules."

"What rules are there? Shut up and don't talk!" Meng Huan picked him up by the waist, strode to the bedside, and then gently put him down, covered him with the quilt, and tucked in the corners of the quilt, feeling distressed, "You Why don’t you know how to cherish your body? Do you have to torture yourself to death before you’re reconciled?”

Song Zhi looked up at him, the worry on Meng Huan's face was not fake, but he no longer had the energy to respond.

"I want to go back to Xingshun Hutong with Man'er," Song Zhi said.

Meng Huan's expression froze, and the hand that wanted to wipe Song Zhi's sweat stopped in the air, and then hung down as if nothing had happened, and wiped the cold sweat from Song Zhi's forehead, and said in a low voice: "You should take care of your body first, and now you are seriously ill. So, don't say that."

Song Zhi refused to let go: "Then after I recover from illness, can I go back?"

Meng Huan frowned and didn't speak, but obviously, he didn't want to agree, so he changed the subject:

"Jin Ming said that you coughed up blood a few days ago, don't you know if you should ask a doctor to have a look?"

Knowing that Meng Huan refused to let him go, Song Zhiming immediately became depressed, and said softly: "Everyone in the house is busy, so I don't want to cause trouble."

"Nonsense," Meng Huan said. "The body is the most important thing. How can it be called adding trouble? If you just procrastinate like this, the more you procrastinate and get worse, the more trouble will be added."

Song Zhi said, "Do you think I'm making trouble?"

Meng Huan frowned: "I didn't mean that, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Meng Huan lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Song Zhi's. He didn't have a fever, but he was cold, "Are you sick and confused?"

Song Zhi said: "If you are sick and confused, let me go." Then she said, "But General Meng's family is powerful, if he insists on keeping me here and humiliating me, Song Zhi has nothing to do, so he has to suffer .”

"General," Pei Ya appeared just in time, carrying the medicine box, and limped to salute Meng Huan.

"Come here quickly," Meng Huan beckoned, frowning so hard that a fly would be crushed, "See how Zilan is doing."

Pei Ya and Song Zhi are also old acquaintances. Song Zhi lived near the Meng Mansion from the autumn of 18th Yuan to the spring of 23rd Yuan. In the past five years, Pei Ya has diagnosed and treated Song Zhi more than Meng Huan.

He carefully scrutinized Song Zhi's expression, checked the whites of the eyes, tongue coating, felt the pulse, and asked about some specific symptoms.

"How is Zilan?" Finally, Meng Huan asked.

Pei Ya took a look at Meng Huan. He knew about Meng Huan's recent wedding, and also knew about Song Zhi and Meng Huan's concern. Out of the benevolence of a doctor, Pei Ya said truthfully: "According to the grass people, Mr. Song is mainly suffering from heart disease."

Heart disease, what heart disease does Song Zhineng have?Of course there is only Meng Huan.

This is to tell Meng Huan clearly that Song Zhi is sick because of him.

"How?" Meng Huan asked with a frown.

"Is it possible that the general doesn't know that heart disease still needs heart medicine?" Pei Ya said.

Having said that, Pei Ya still prescribed a prescription for Song Zhi to help him recuperate his body. The prescription added some calming herbs to help Song Zhi sleep peacefully.

Pei Ya could tell that Song Zhi hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Soon after Song Zhi drank the medicine, she became sleepy. She didn't want to talk to Meng Huan lazily, so she closed her eyes and faced the direction of the wall.

Meng Huan sat beside his bed for a while, and then left after Song Zhi fell asleep.

Was it a mistake to keep Song Zhi around?

Should he let him go?

……

Meng Huan went to see Bai Man'er.

Since Bai Man'er came to the Meng Mansion, she has become an idler. Because of Song Zhi's sake, the maids and servants in the mansion didn't treat her well, and this girl didn't feel sorry for herself.She couldn't see Song Zhi often, so she quietly went to see Song Zhi from time to time.

When Meng Huan left, Bai Man'er was embroidering a purse.When she saw Meng Huan, she didn't salute, and sat there calmly, making no secret of her hostility.

"What are you doing here?"

Meng Huan did not drive her out because of Song Zhi's face, he pulled a chair and sat down, glanced at the purse that Bai Man'er was embroidering, and asked, "For Zilan?"

Bai Man'er gave him a sideways glance: "What does it have to do with you?"

Meng Huan said, "Of course it's related. If it's for Zilan, I promise you won't be able to send it away."

Bai Man'er was so angry that her teeth itched. To be honest, she could be said to hate Meng Huan, so her tone of voice was ambiguous:

"General Meng was born noble and holds an important position. Now that he is married to an even more noble daughter, she has tremendous power and power. Naturally, he wants to do what he wants to do."

Meng Huan didn't want to argue with a little girl, so he asked calmly, "Do you want to go back to Xingshun Hutong?"

Bai Man'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "I want to be with the young master."

It meant that he wanted to go back, but he had to go back with Song Zhi.

Meng Huan tapped the table with his fingers, and asked again: "Do you want to marry him?"

Han women are not as generous and forthright as Mongolian women, Bai Man'er blushed immediately, and spat: "I don't feel ashamed! Is it okay to ask a girl about this kind of thing?"

Meng Huan said to himself, "Impossible."

"He won't marry you."

Although he was clear in his heart, Meng Huan's words like this really hurt a girl's heart. Bai Man'er changed his face and said, "If you talk nonsense here again, I will kick her out."

Meng Huan curled his lips and reminded: "This is my territory."

After a pause, Meng Huan asked again: "You know he won't marry you, so why are you willing to follow him all the time, even as a slave?"

Bai Man'er stood up abruptly, pointed at Meng Huan and said, "If you came today just to humiliate me, please do so in moderation, General Meng."

"I am willing to follow the young master is my business, but General Meng is jealous that no one is willing to follow you without complaint or regret?"

"Do you know why?"

"Because you don't deserve it."

Bai Man'er smashed the jar and said: "The young master is blind, that's why he fell in love with you, and why he spent all these years with you for nothing."

"If it weren't for you, he would have married a lovely wife, had two or three children, and lived an ordinary but comfortable life."

"You spent him, but married someone else. What's worse, you married someone else and wanted to lock him up. How can there be such a shameless person like you in this world?"

"At the end of the day, it's just that General Meng thinks he's superior to others and can do whatever he wants. Whatever you do, others have to bear it. You can marry a wife but he can't. If you want him to stay, he has to stay. You keep saying that you want to live with him. For the rest of my life, don't you still treat him as a male favorite in action?"

Bai Man'er stared at Meng Huan's gradually sinking face with a sneer, and finally added, "If I were the young master, even if I died, I wouldn't let your filthy possessiveness succeed!"

"Slap!" Bai Man'er had just finished her last sentence when she was greeted with a heavy slap on the left side of her face.

Song Zhi couldn't bear Meng Huan's force, let alone Bai Man'er, who was slapped to the ground immediately, her left cheek was swollen and painful.

Meng Huan stared at her condescendingly, and said coldly: "It's not your turn to intervene in the matter between us. If it wasn't for Zi Lan's sake, do you think you could still live here safely? Went to the street to beg for food."

Bai Man'er was so painful that tears rolled in her eyes, but she held her head up and stared stubbornly at Meng Huan:

"You're not good enough for him."

Meng Huan almost wanted to strangle her to death, but worried about Song Zhi, he just lifted the table and said coldly: "Whether you deserve it or not, it doesn't matter what you say."

After saying that, he walked away.

After being scolded by Bai Man'er, Meng Huan didn't visit Song Zhi for many days, either because he was angry or because he didn't dare.He just ordered people to watch over Song Zhi day and night, supervise him taking medicine, and check on Song Zhi's condition at all times.

Half a month has passed like this, the wind and cold caught in February is gone, but the heart disease is still there.Meng Huan specifically ordered the kitchen to cook a small stove for Song Zhi'ai every day, and cook Song Zhi'ai's food for appetizers.

Under such careful maintenance, Song Zhi's body got better, and the flesh on her face also recovered.

By April, Bayar didn't stay long in the Meng Mansion, and set off to go back to Huduhu's place, leaving the Meng Mansion to the newly married couple.

But in April, something big happened.

People from the General Manager's Mansion of Dadu Road rushed in with live ammunition, wanting to arrest Song Zhi.

Meng Huan just came back from court, and encountered this scene. Of course, it is impossible for them to arrest him.

The Tongzhi who had been beaten by Meng Huan had already been promoted from a fourth-rank Tongzhi to a third-rank deputy Dalu Huachi. He had been promoted to two ranks in four years, and the speed was not bad.

Originally, he didn't need to come forward in person for such matters, but perhaps remembering the enmity at Chongguo Temple four years ago, he brought someone to come in person, holding in his hand the documents from the Chief Administration's Dalu Huachi to arrest Song Zhi.

"Under the order of Dalu Huachi of the General Manager's Office, come to arrest Song Zilan, the rebellious party, and the cover-up is the same crime."

"What chaos?" Meng Huan had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Without evidence, how can you gossip about it?"

"Evidence?" Deputy Dalu Huachi's surname was Hu, Master Hu twisted his goatee, and said softly, "Come here, present the evidence!"

"Yes!" The governor behind him stepped forward and presented the evidence.

Those were a few thin pieces of paper, on which were Liu Yin's poems "Baigou" and "Sai Weng Xing" copied by Song Zhi in the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty, and "Song of Zhengqi" copied by Song Zhi in the winter of 18th year.

When he wrote "Baigou" and other poems in Teng, because of Meng Huan's sudden arrival, Song Zhi didn't even mark the original author, so it was directly regarded as Song Zhi's own poems.However, "Song of Righteous Qi" clearly wrote the inscription, "Song Zilan, Wushen in Maoyue, Renwu Year".

The handwriting of the two is the same, and a comparison shows that it was written by the same person.

Maybe just a chronology of Ganzhi can't explain much, but with the addition of those few poems with ambiguous meanings, it makes people have to think more.

The nostalgia for the Song Dynasty is clearly written in the poem. This is not a remnant of the Song Dynasty, what is it?

The author has something to say:

Note: There is a small bug here. "Xin Yuan History" records: "In the 21st year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Dadu General Manager's Mansion was established. The rank was from the third grade. In the 27th year, it was promoted to the capital's general manager's mansion. The rank is the third grade." Now it is the 23rd year of the Zhiyuan Dynasty. Therefore, Dadu Road Chief Steward's Mansion should be called Dadu Chief Steward's Mansion. Dalu Huachi is also from the third rank, not the third rank, but because it was written like this before... I have to continue to make mistakes.
