One Thousand and Thirty-Two: Everyone's Abacus (8)
"Pfft—cough cough cough—who are you talking about? Who's here?"
Huang Song was drinking tea happily, when he heard the message from his subordinate, he almost choked the tea into his lung duct.
Subordinates can only bite the bullet and repeat.
Early this morning, Huang Song's lieutenant, Yuan Chong, led troops on patrol. They found a couple's whereabouts suspicious, so they simply arrested them for questioning. Among them, the man has a refined temperament, although he is wearing a slightly shabby coarse linen clothes, but he is neither humble nor overbearing when he asks and answers, obviously he is not an ordinary person————
Yuan Chong thought he was a spy, but after further investigation, he found out that the man was Meng Heng, the eldest son of the Meng family.
but--
Facing Yuan Chong's skeptical gaze, Meng Heng smiled wryly, "That was just in the past, now he's just a commoner who doesn't even have a surname."
Meng Heng was expelled from the Meng family and changed his surname.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chong drew his knife and placed it on Meng Heng's neck, jokingly said, "Old thief Meng's son is not afraid of death when he comes here."
Meng Heng said, "My mother is Liuzhou Mu Liuxi's stepmother. Liuxi and I are cousins. Do you really dare to cut it off?"
This relationship is Meng Heng's last trump card, and he also expected that Yuan Chong would not dare to kill him.
Although Huang Song and Jiang Pengji have their own agendas, they haven't completely broken their faces yet.
Huang Song didn't dare to kill Jiang Pengji's cousin, even though his identity hadn't been confirmed yet.
Having coughed enough, Huang Song wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Bring people over—"
The subordinate stepped back, and Cheng Jing, who was dealing with official duties, put down the matter in hand and asked, "Is that man Meng Heng?"
Huang Song asked, "Youmo know each other?"
Cheng Jing said calmly, "Meng Heng and Jing were in the same evaluation. He was originally the most favorable contender for the top three. However, Meng Heng was influenced by his younger brother Meng Ting. In the end, the examiners gave him a very low evaluation of his virtue, which made Meng Heng even top 100. None of them squeezed in—"
Feng Jue heard the movement, and he also came over to intervene.
"Meng Heng is my brother's classmate, and the two have a good relationship." Feng Jue said with a smile, "If the person here is really Meng Heng, Jue can recognize it."
In fact, both Feng Jue and Cheng Jing felt that the person who came was really Meng Heng.
It's sensitive right now, who would dare to pretend to be a disciple of the Meng family in Huang Song's territory?
Don't be afraid of death.
The three of them didn't notice it, but when Nie Xun heard the news, he gave a heavy hand and nearly dropped his brush.
Fortunately, others didn't pay attention to him, so Nie Xun quickly adjusted his mentality, pretending that nothing happened.
Meng Heng met Huang Song under the leadership of his servants.
Now Huang Song has grown a beard, and he looks more majestic and calm.
"Caomin has seen Haozhou Mu."
Meng Heng used the etiquette of ordinary people meeting officials, but Huang Song was so frightened that he got up and stopped him.
Huang Song smiled and said, "Lanting and I are siblings. You are Lanting's cousin, so you can be considered my cousin. Why do you need to make such a big gift?"
Cheng Jing and the others sat behind the screen and watched.
When Meng Heng came into their sight, they confirmed Meng Heng's identity.
Although we haven't seen each other for many years, Meng Heng's appearance has not changed much, but he has become more mature, which is easy to recognize.
Meng Heng smiled wryly, "Even so, etiquette cannot be broken."
Huang Song asked Meng Heng to sit on the lower right, and said hesitantly, "I don't know if I should ask a question—"
Meng Heng knew what he was going to ask, didn't he just doubt his purpose.
"Heng has been kicked out of the ancestral hall by my father, and now he is homeless, so he wants to join his cousin Xi." At this point, there is nothing to be ashamed of. And Shen Ke. There is a lot of chaos outside, and the couple can't go too far. Hearing that Cousin Xi is about to lead troops to help Hede County, Heng came here with Zhuo Jing and waited—"
"Sister-in-law is pregnant?" Huang Song asked Yuan Chong with a tiger's face when he heard it, "You kid, didn't you bump into someone?"
Yuan Chong was worried about Huang Song's safety, so this time he personally pressed Meng Heng to see Huang Song.
Meng Heng showed a faint smile, "The original captain is just enforcing the law,
Clumsy Jing is fine. "
But Huang Song couldn't let it go.
He sent someone to arrange a residence for Meng Heng and his wife, and also found an experienced midwife and a doctor with good medical skills.
Huang Song saw Meng Heng's embarrassment, and said proactively, "Just stay here, if there is any shortage, send someone to tell me."
Meng Heng will not be unaware of the kindness of others.
But Meng Heng knew in his heart that Huang Song was so kind to him, so it was because of Jiang Pengji's face that he took care of him.
"Lang Jun, do we live here?"
Meng Heng's wife rubbed her stomach with one hand, and looked up to the sky while stroking the pillars with the other.
The sky was as blue as a wash, and the golden sun was very comfortable to bask in.
"Rest here temporarily—" Meng Heng looked at the silk, satin, clothes and jewelry in the room, and then at his wife's naked face, and helped her into the room, "The clothes on your body are also old, pick a few pieces of cloth to make A few new clothes, don't treat yourself badly."
The wife touched the material, and the soft touch made her reluctant to move her hand.
She has never used such a good material for clothes in her life.
"It's all given by others, and it's not very good to use it——in this way, isn't the gentleman in debt to others?"
The wife endured it and forced herself to look away.
"I owe it to Cousin Xi, and I will pay it back later." Meng Heng smiled and picked up a gold bracelet with double phoenix twisted silk, and put it on his wife's hand. Because the bracelet set off, the wife's wrists became more and more slender and thin, "In the future—the husband will earn more and more for you—I will never let you and the children suffer—"
If it wasn't for Jiang Pengji's face, Huang Song wouldn't have treated him so favorably.
Therefore, Meng Heng knew very well who he owed.
The wife smiled, "I believe in you."
It is a great honor for the butcher's daughter to marry the eldest son of the Meng family as his legal wife, but it is a great humiliation for Meng Heng.
Meng Heng felt that he had treated her badly, but she felt that he was sorry for Meng Heng.
In any case, they are already husband and wife, and they will be together for a lifetime in the future.
At this time, the maid who was waiting was reporting back outside the paper door.
Meng Heng and his wife were startled——
"This Nie Xun—husband knows?"
The wife was surprised that the couple had just settled down here, and someone brought his wife to visit.
Meng Heng was also puzzled, but he had also inquired. Nie Xun was a counselor Huang Song relied on very much, so he couldn't easily offend him.
"I don't know——Nie Xun's wife, please trouble Madam to entertain her."
After finishing speaking, he said to the maid, "Mr. Nie please wait in the hall, I'll go right away."
Nie Xun's visit, could it be that Huang Song ordered it?
With this doubt in mind, Meng Heng met Nie Xun for the first time.
The two looked at each other from a distance, and both felt a strange emotion in their hearts.
Just now through the screen, Nie Xun did not observe Meng Heng carefully.
Now face to face, he found that Meng Heng was not similar to him.
Are they real brothers?
