In the hot summer, the most comfortable part is the cool breeze in the early morning and evening.

In the dim morning light, the dark horse lowered its head and ate grass. On the horse's back, Zhao Chen looked at the gurgling river water, enjoying the leisure time in the countryside.

Until Chen Ping led Meng Zhongjing to appear at the intersection.

Zhao Chen smiled playfully, put the purse in his hand into the cuff, turned his horse's head, and headed towards the intersection without any rush.

When he came to this side, Meng Zhongjing stopped and watched the rich young master slowly approaching with a calm face. He looked at himself with a expressionless face, and watched him turn over and get off the horse with a cool movement, standing tall, watching him brush his robe casually, and a white jade pendant swaying slightly. Meng Zhongjing didn't understand jade, but felt that the jade was bright and transparent, and it was absolutely extraordinary.

After reading it, Meng Zhongjing looked up at the man's eyes and waited for the other party to explain his purpose.

Zhao Chen winked at Chen Ping, and Chen Ping quickly retreated.

Then Zhao Chen said to Meng Zhongjing: "Brother Meng has seen the deer I gave to Aju?"

Meng Zhongjing clenched his fists and reminded him coldly: "Aji is my fiancée. Mr. Zhao is not close to her, so please change his name."

"It's not a relative or a good person? It seems that Aji still doesn't have the heart to tell you, so I'll do it."

Zhao Chenzhi smiled and turned to look in the direction of the village over there: "That time in the study, I had already mentioned hiding with Aji. Maybe I couldn't help offending her. She didn't agree immediately, saying that she wanted to think about it for a while. A few days ago, she obviously had figured it out and opened the door for me personally, and took the opportunity to promise me. Brother Meng, you should understand that Aji is kind-hearted and doesn't want to take the initiative to break off the engagement and embarrass you, so I will be a villain for her and advise you to quit the engagement so that everyone looks good. Don't worry, I won't rob your marriage in vain. If you want money and beauty, just speak, I will do what I say."

Meng Zhongjing didn't believe a word. Aji would cry so sadly because she was bullied, afraid that he would not want her, and would be jealous and cute because Ru Niang was so cute and could show kindness to this person?

"Don't you believe it?" Zhao Chen asked him with a smile, "Do you know that Aji's uncle and uncle will come tomorrow? What do you think they are coming for? Look at you, your old prospective son-in-law, or my new one? But it's better if you don't believe it. At that time, you and I will stand together, and I believe that Aji's family and relatives will make the wisest choice..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Zhongjing punched over. The man repeatedly provoked him, but he was not a human being if he could tolerate it!

Zhao Chen dodged away, his eyes full of irony: "You are not my opponent, I advise you not to humiliate yourself."

Meng Zhongjing could not hear it, and continued to fist with red eyes. Zhao Chen sneered, and turned around, his elbow had hit Meng Zhongjing's back. The force was completely inconsistent with his seemingly thin figure. Meng Zhongjing only felt a sharp pain in his back, and he was already lying on the ground when he came back to his senses.

Zhao Chen did not pursue the victory, and stood on one side and looked at him with a high voice. The cold voice was accompanied by the sound of uproar not far away. It sounded nice and cruel: "Meng Zhongjing, let me tell you the truth, don't say that you are just getting engaged with Aji. Even if you have married her, I still have ways to snatch her from there. If you want to live a peaceful life and avoid becoming a laughing stock in the village, it is best to find an honest woman to marry her home, otherwise I don't mind playing with you."

Meng Zhongjing tightened his hands, grabbed two handfuls of gravel, and asked him hatefully: "Are you afraid that I will tell Uncle Lin what you did?"

Zhao Chen smiled, turned around and walked to the horse, and said in a chat while following the mane on the horse's neck: "Don't mention whether they will believe you, if you bear to say Aji's disgrace, just say it. In your eyes, Aji is a childhood sweetheart, and in my opinion, she is just a rare beauty. As long as she lives, I will snatch it away. If she can't bear the humiliation and commit suicide, I will not lose anything."

"You beast!" Meng Zhongjing suddenly stood up and rushed towards him.

Zhao Chen didn't even hide, but grabbed it in time before the other party touched him with one hand. With a little force, Meng Zhongjing could no longer move forward. Compared with Meng Zhongjing's painful and angry expression, Zhao Chen's face was extremely calm. After a moment, he threw away Meng Zhongjing and spoke as he staggered and stood firm: "Instead of having a quarrel with me here, it's better to go back and find another marriage. You don't want Aju for now, it's better than her not wanting you, right?"

Meng Zhongjing stared at him with a murderous gaze.

Zhao Chen didn't care and was about to leave with the reins. Suddenly, he thought of something, smiled and turned around, took out something from the cuff and handed it to Meng Zhongjing: "This is the love token that Aji gave me when he opened the door to me that day. Brother Meng, don't worry, Aji is so beautiful and gentle. After she married me, I will treat her well for you."

His hands were slender and fair, his thumb and index finger were pinching a belt, and there was a small and delicate purse hanging down from it, with sky blue silk and clusters of orchid leaves as lifelike.

Meng Zhongjing stared at the cluster of orchids. Aji liked orchids the most and also liked to embroider orchids on her personal objects.

"Did you see clearly?" Zhao Chen slowly withdrew his hand, hid his porch in his arms, looked at Meng Zhongjing meaningfully, and led the horse away.

Meng Zhongjing stood blankly, looking at his back. Soon, he saw Lin Chongjiu running over. Seeing him, Lin Chongjiu greeted him from afar, and was carried by the man to the horse and rode his horse along the riverside. On the empty river beach, the boy's crisp laughter gradually spread.

As he listened, Meng Zhongjing suddenly felt as if he was dead. So what about the beast? He was wearing human skin, and the Lin family was close to him.

Meng Zhongjing walked back in dismay.

Walking up the gentle slope of the intersection, he looked at the backyard of the Lin family and wanted to ask Aji clearly, but remembered that she was still angry with him.

He was happy last night because of her anger. Now, thinking about it, Ru Niang said so clearly that she was making trouble. Was he using this method to force him to let her go first? Yesterday he said he would withdraw from the wedding, and she even asked him to talk to her father in anger...

No, the girl who played hide-and-seek with him when she was a child, the girl who took her home and asked her mother to sew her clothes for him when they saw that they were torn. She would never have such scheming.

But she grew up and she was so beautiful that she was attracted to by a playboy. He could not protect her, and he would probably not protect her heart.

If he has money, if...

But he didn't. He was just a rough man who went to work in the fields. He started dreaming when she promised to marry him. Now, he woke up.

After returning home, Meng Zhongjing went to the new house and lay on the kang with his eyes closed. Looking back on every bit of the years, he would laugh when he thought of the sweet place, and smiled and turned into a bitter smile. The younger brother called him for lunch, but he didn't want to eat, but his father came to call him for dinner. Meng Zhongjing didn't want to worry his family, so he forced himself to cheer up, but he was tasteless.

After a chat after dinner, Mr. Meng asked him which clothes he would wear when he went to Lin’s house tomorrow.

Meng Zhongjing was stunned and thought of Aji's uncle and aunt. The Zhou family is a wealthy family in the town, wearing silk, satin and gold and silver. Especially Aunt Aji, who likes to give Aji's clothes and jewelry. They did not look down on him, but every time they came to visit, he didn't know what to say. Lin Xian talked to him considerately, but he didn't know that this considerate also embarrass him.

Perhaps, he should wake up. From beginning to end, he was not worthy of Aji. He and they were not the same.

He was sad, and after returning to the new house, Meng Zhongjing took out a jar of wine prepared for the marriage. Staring at the mouth of the jar, he was hesitant and had a split headache. Finally, he closed his eyes and opened it, and raised his head to pour it down. He gave up, and he fulfilled her. She was so beautiful that she should be a pampered young grandmother, instead of following him to suffer. He should marry a normal-looking person...

A face suddenly appeared in my mind.

Meng Zhongjing was stunned and put down the wine jar and looked out the window. The bright moon was hanging out. She said she had to wait for him in the second day of the day. She was a lonely woman. Do you really dare to walk to the barbed land at night? What exactly did she say to him?

Meng Zhongjing was not relieved and quietly left the house.

Lin Family.

Aji has insomnia again.

I don't know if it was because Meng Zhongjing didn't come to her as expected on this day, or because the person was going to visit her house tomorrow, she felt very uneasy, and all kinds of thoughts were torture to death. Aji grabbed the bedding sheet and tried to calm herself down, but it didn't work. Close her eyes and the faces of the two men in her mind alternately, and occasionally she would be like a mother. She stood with Meng Zhongjing and scolded her together.

Tears rolled down at the corners of his eyes, Aji ignored them, letting the tears flow into his ears and become cold.

Suddenly someone sat up slowly beside him.

Aji breathed suffocated.

She closed her eyes and Tingru Niang was dressed carefully. She seemed to have taken something else. Aji didn't dare to turn her head and look. Then Tingru Niang opened the door very gently and went out quietly. She was sure that Ru Niang had left the door, Aji turned her head and took advantage of the bright moonlight to find that the bag Ru Niang had packed in the daytime on the kang was gone.

Is she going to leave overnight?

Aji doesn't really believe that Ru Niang has such courage, and she has no need to do so. Didn't she still want to hear the news from her uncle?

But she really left with her baggage.

Aji frowned and suddenly remembered the half-quarters of the hour when Ru Niang and Meng Zhongjing were alone last night. What did they say?

Aji thought of that dress again. As soon as she thought about it, she could no longer lie down and quietly put on her clothes.

The moon was full of the afterglow on the fifteenth day, and the figures in the yard were clearly visible. Aji hid at the door and saw Ru Niang tiptoe out of the gate. The doe in the fence made a slight movement, which was hard to detect. Aji rarely walked at night with her parents. She was a little scared, but curious and suspicious finally defeated those fears. She bit her lip and followed her lightly.

It was already the second day of the morning. The village was surprisingly quiet, with only the frogs and insects rising one after another. Ru Niang walked quickly in front of her, and Aji followed her far away until she walked to the edge of the farmland. There were stick seedlings more than one person tall on both sides, and black shadows were everywhere. Aji finally regretted it. If Ru Niang really planned to leave overnight, she could not follow her all the time. At that time, she was the only one herself, would she dare to walk on the night road?

But she has come out, wouldn’t it be even more useless to go back now?

Aji couldn't help but speed up her pace. She was closer to Ru Niang, so she was not that afraid.

As he walked, he arrived in front of his own stick ground. Ru Niang suddenly stopped in front of him. Aji hurriedly hid on the side of the ground, about a hundred steps away from Ru Niang. On the left was a faint stick ground, Aji became more and more scared. But when Ru Niang shouted the three words "Brother Meng", all fear was replaced by shock. She held her clothes and stared at the other side in disbelief.

Meng Zhongjing had been waiting here for a while. When he heard Ru Niang calling him, he walked out of the field and looked around first. Then he asked the girl under the moonlight in confusion: "Miss He, what do you want to say? What are you doing with a bag on your back?"

Ru Niang first showed surprise when she saw him, then smiled bitterly, and said, "I have lived here for so long, causing a lot of trouble for Brother Meng and the eldest girl, so I want to leave. Brother Meng, tonight should be the last time we meet... I sewed your clothes, you can try it, it can be regarded as making me feel at ease." As she said that, she put the bag on the ground and took it apart.

Meng Zhongjing was completely confused, "Where are you going?"

Ru Niang stood up with her clothes and said softly: "Go back to Yangzhou, after all, it is my hometown. Brother Meng, take off this piece on you, try this one."

Meng Zhongjing did not move and frowned and asked, "Even if he left, why not wait for dawn?"

Ru Niang sighed: "Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin are all great charitable people. They will definitely try to keep me when I leave during the day. I am afraid that I will stay with my heart and will cause trouble for Brother Meng. Brother Meng is a gentleman, I believe, and the eldest girl believes it too, but she cares too much about Brother Meng, and it is easy to misunderstand, so I'd better leave."

When talking about Aji, Meng Zhongjing felt bitter, but he didn't say anything. Ru Niang was saved. If he retired from the Lin family, Ru Niang would definitely be even more embarrassed to live there. It would be better to leave. However, she is a weak woman, how could he let her leave in the middle of the night?

Meng Zhongjing wanted to keep someone, but Ru Niang got closer: "Brother Meng, Ru Niang's only wish now is to see you put on this dress. Can you promise me?"

The moonlight was like water. The girl raised her head, her face was beautiful, and her eyes were filled with tears. Meng Zhongjing felt soft and she couldn't help taking the clothes, "You, I'm sorry for you, then wait, I'll go inside to change." After that, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Ru Niang hugged him at this moment, without any warning. When Meng Zhongjing reacted, Ru Niang had already pressed her face on his back and cried and begged: "Brother Meng, let Ru Niang serve you for a while. You don't know that you were saved by you and looked at you. Ru Niang decided to be you and wanted to live with you for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that Brother Meng had already been married. The eldest girl was so beautiful, Ru Niang knew she was better than that, so she completely stopped thinking. Later, you mistakenly recognized me as a big girl and stared at me. I was really happy for a while. I hope Brother Meng was just looking at me."

Meng Zhongjing was struck by lightning. He never thought that Ru Niang would like him.

"Brother Meng, Ru Niang really likes Brother Meng, she likes so much that she was once jealous of the girl and wanted to replace her, and she liked that she would rather give her a slave and a servant to stay with Brother Meng. But the girl is so good that I can't do that. I will only be sad to stay here, so I decided to leave. Brother Meng, I don't ask you to like me, I just ask you to let me serve you again, okay?"

Meng Zhongjing was in a mess and didn't know how to deal with her. Although she was in a down-and-out and was also a wealthy family, how could she fall in love with him?

But Ru Niang slowly turned to him and looked up at him: "Brother Meng, stand and don't move, I will change your clothes for you with my own hands. Ru Niang has no luck in marrying Brother Meng, and she just hopes to serve Brother Meng like this once."

Her face was covered with tears, like pear blossoms and rain. Meng Zhongjing was stunned and could not refuse at all.

Ru Niang smiled gratefully, raised her slender jade hand and dressed him. The two were so close and so quiet around her. Meng Zhongjing could smell the fragrance between Ru Niang's hair and the faint smell of sweat and wine on her body. Meng Zhongjing wanted to retreat awkwardly: "I'll do it myself..."

Ru Niang held him down, and did not speak, but shook her head shyly. Meng Zhongjing had to continue waiting. He didn't dare to look at Ru Niang, turned his head and looked at the field on one side, but Ru Niang's hand touched him, gently and retreated at the touch. It was obvious that nothing, Meng Zhongjing gradually couldn't bear it and clenched his hands quietly.

"Brother Meng, close your eyes, Ru Niang wants to give you something more." Ru Niang put the man's robe on the ground and lowered her head.

Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, Meng Zhongjing's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again: "I, I'll try my clothes first?" He was nervous when he stood in front of her like this.

Ru Niang shook her head, her voice low and faintly: "Brother Meng, close your eyes quickly. Anyway, I've seen it, what else do you have to be embarrassed about?"

Meng Zhongjing looked at the girl who lowered her head to cover her shame, clenched her fists, and closed her eyes.

His eyes closed, and his ears could still be used. After a moment of silence, he heard a slight movement and heard the inaudible sound of clothes falling to the ground. He vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't believe it. It was not until Ru Niang suddenly hugged him that Meng Zhongjing suddenly opened his eyes and pushed her: "Ru Niang, what are you doing?" His subordinate felt something was wrong, so he immediately let go and wanted to retreat. Ru Niang hugged her tightly. He didn't stand firm and fell down on his back.

Ru Niang fell down immediately. Before Meng Zhongjing came back to her senses, she had already used her tricks on him, as if she was inadvertent and the most helpless. Meng Zhongjing's breathing was in chaos. Ru Niang seemed to be unaware, leaning her head on the man's shoulder, stroked his face with his right hand, and whispered softly: "Brother Meng, Ru Niang only likes you, a man in her life, but unfortunately I have no choice but to be destined to you... Before leaving, Ru Niang wanted to give herself to Brother Meng. After returning to Yangzhou, I became a nun. Since then, Qinglanguage Buddha has no nostalgia. Brother Meng, please help me, don't worry, no third person knows this. The eldest girl will not know, and she will not be sad."

Meng Zhongjing was eighteen years old, and he was at the age of throbbing easily. In addition, he had poured a lot of wine at home before, so Ru Niang was almost panicked when he met him. At this time, he could not suppress him because of her so closeness. He could barely hold back and said: "Ru Niang, don't do this, I was just a simple task that day..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ru Niang's face was held and her mouth was blocked.

Meng Zhongjing reached out to push her, but unexpectedly touched Ru Niang's waist. Unlike last time, this time it was even more thrilling without clothes.

The woman's touch was just right, and the beautiful begging in her mouth made Meng Zhongjing dizzy. When Ru Niang wanted to leave, he couldn't help but chase after him. Ru Niang screamed and fell to the ground, her hands still wrapped around his neck, and her eyes were filled with tears. Meng Zhongjing was distracted by such eyes. She flipped over with Ru Niang's force, and touched her, and her whole body felt like falling into the clouds, and her reason completely dispersed...

He has no Aji anymore. It is rare that there is a woman who likes him so much. She doesn't care whether he has money or status. How could he miss her?
To be continued...
