Strange Tales of the Ghosts

In fact, Meng Zixuan's chess skills are not bad, which is what he was taught by his family when he was young. However, he did not think too much about defeating Dong Jinling. Instead, he thought carefully when making moves. He neither wanted to win nor lost. Look. It seems like a lot of thought is put into thinking about how to make a move. Seeing Meng Zixuan being so serious, Dong Jinling chuckled and said, "Mr. Meng is so attentive. It seems that Jin Ling is going to lose today."

"Not necessarily. Miss Dong is so good at chess. Meng feels inferior to her. If Meng hadn't been careful, I would have given up the game long ago." Meng Zixuan smiled modestly and held the hand in his hand. Taking the white piece, he reached an opening where Dong Jinling would win.

After one game was over, there was another. Just playing chess, Dong Jinling also felt a little bored, so he deliberately talked about Meng Zixuan's family status...

"Jin Ling heard someone say that Mr. Meng used to be a wealthy family in Tingzhou. Why did he fall into such a decline?"

"This..." How could Meng Zixuan say that he was the result of being lazy? But the fact is that he spent a lot of money in one night, not only lost his family property, but also was defrauded of everything. Except for the old house, he was in debt. The servants and uncles at home also saw him like this. When they dispersed, they originally wanted him to leave together, but Meng Zixuan was unwilling. At that time, he already felt a little regretful, so he had to guard his family's house no matter what. As for those who asked him to collect debts, they intended to make Meng Zixuan sell the house to pay off the debts, but after all, it was a trap, and the other party also felt guilty. After beating Meng Zixuan several times, Meng Zixuan refused to hand over, so he stopped asking further. In addition, Meng Zixuan became a beggar, and this matter was never mentioned again. Now when Dong Jinling asked, Meng Zixuan could only answer in four words: "It's okay not to mention it."

Dong Jinling was originally a scheming woman. When Meng Zixuan said this, she did not ask further questions for a simple reason. She knew that haste leads to waste, so she smiled slightly and replied: "If that's the case, then we won't mention it anymore. .”

"Yeah." Meng Zixuan smiled at each other.

Dong Jinling saw that the chess pieces were full and Meng Zixuan had fallen into defeat. In order not to embarrass Meng Zixuan, he deliberately smiled and said: "I am really happy to play against Mr. Meng today, but maybe I am not as good as Mr. Meng and spent too much." My mind is a little bit headache-y.”

"Then..." Meng Zixuan deliberately let Dong Jinling win. Seeing that Dong Jinling was about to give up, he didn't know what to say.

"I'm afraid Jin Ling can't play chess today. Let's wait until Mr. Meng is in better health. Let's play again another day." Dong Jinling winked at the maid Ping'er and asked Ping'er to put away the chessboard. Of course, Meng Zixuan followed suit.

"In that case, let's play another day." Meng Zixuan had a smile on his face. This smile disappeared after Dong Jinling left. Although Dong Jinling was everyone's lady, Meng Zixuan did not have a good impression of Dong Jinling, and he was also a child of a wealthy family. Meng Zixuan has seen too many hypocritical faces of those girls. Such people only smile at themselves when they are rich and powerful. If not, they must have a purpose. Meng Zixuan understood this deeply after he fell into despair. Although he was laughing and joking on the surface, Meng Zixuan knew very well in his heart. Sighing, he sat on the bed and started to think about it. Meng Zixuan just wanted to get some benefits from Dong Jinling and leave. He didn't think much about anything else.

Dong Jinling also had this intention, and her personal maid Ping'er knew it well. Seeing that Dong Jinling had not made any progress for many days, Ping'er asked in a low voice: "Miss, why don't you mention the matter of the house to Mr. Meng?"

"What do you know? If, as we have inquired, Mr. Meng did not sell his house because of his poor family situation, he must have his own reasons. Don't let him part with you in a hurry." Dong Jinling walked in lotus steps with a smile on her lips. A smile that will win.

Three days later, Dong Jinling went out with his father. Meng Zixuan found an opportunity where no one was watching, and slipped out of Dong's Mansion. He strolled on the street for a while. During his stay in Dong's Mansion, he was well-fed and well-dressed, but his pockets There was still not even half a penny in the house. After wandering around for a while, Meng Zixuan felt bored and slipped out of the city to play. There was no one in the pavilion outside Tingzhou City. Meng Zixuan sat in the pavilion to enjoy the cool weather, hoping to wait for the weather to get cooler before returning to Dong Mansion. Who would have thought that as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep. When he woke up, the sun was setting in the west, it was already dusk, the air was heavy, maybe he had overslept, and he was a little faint. Meng Zixuan felt that he could not exert his strength, as if he had been drugged. At this time, a man was on his way. The girl entered the pavilion. The girl was wearing a moth-yellow dress, with black hair like a waterfall. At first glance, she looked like a delicate and pitiful person. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was attractive to the eyes. The girl sat in the pavilion and saw a young man lying on his side. She was afraid of disturbing the other man's rest, so she tried her best to Eat quietly. While eating, the girl realized something was wrong with this man, so she walked over and asked softly: "Master...are you okay?"

"Water..." Meng Zixuan slept all afternoon. He was very thirsty and had no strength all over his body. He couldn't even wake up even if he wanted to find some water to drink. He was about to die of thirst.

After the girl heard clearly what Meng Zixuan said, she hurriedly gave the water she brought to Meng Zixuan. After Meng Zixuan drank like a cow for a while, the girl's water bag was empty. Meng Zixuan felt rude and smiled and said: "Sorry …”

"It doesn't matter." The girl didn't mind. She put away the water bag and asked curiously: "Sir, where are you from? Why are you alone in this pavilion?"

Meng Zixuan opened his eyes, glanced at the girl, and replied in a low voice: "He is from Tingzhou."

"So, this place is not far from Tingzhou?" The girl was delighted.

Meng Zixuan nodded and looked at the girl: "Girl, are you going to Tingzhou City?"

"Well, something happened at home, and my father asked me to come to Tingzhou City to join my uncle." The girl replied with a smile.

After Meng Zixuan drank the water, he seemed to feel better. He sat up and looked at the girl in front of him carefully. He found that the girl was only eighteen or nineteen years old and her dress was not ordinary, so he asked: "I wonder what the girl's uncle's surname is?" Maybe I can help you find it.”

"The surname is Dong."

Your surname is Dong? Meng Zixuan didn’t know if it would be like that

Coincidentally, although there is more than one family of people named Dong in the city, the only one with a good fortune is Mr. Dong, the former petitioner, who is also Dong Jinling's father...

"girl…."

"Just call me Yunying." The girl smiled sweetly and looked at Meng Zixuan.

The girl's smile made Meng Zixuan suddenly feel that this woman was extraordinary. If she were a young lady from a wealthy family, how could she smile at others so easily? What's more, this girl didn't know him, but she was willing to help him. She seemed to be a kind-hearted person, and For some reason, Meng Zixuan felt good about her and said with a smile: "Miss Yunying, it's getting late. Let's get up and go back to the city. If it's getting late, I'm afraid you, a girl, will have inconvenience on the way."

"Yes." The girl nodded and picked up the bundle.

At this time, in the Dong Mansion, Dong Jinling was losing his temper over Meng Zixuan's disappearance. When he heard the servant outside the door came to report that Meng Zixuan was back and had brought a girl, Dong Jinling became even more angry and snorted: "Meng Zixuan Who is he? I left him room and board in my house. He is not satisfied and wants to bring someone with me." As he said that, he walked to the outer hall. As soon as he reached the outer hall, before he entered, he heard someone outside. Dad's laughter came from the hall, and Dong Jinling was curious. When he looked in, there was a girl wearing a moth-yellow shirt standing next to his father. The girl looked like he had seen it somewhere before. After thinking for a long time, Dong Jinling Just then I remembered, I felt happy and ran in.

"Sister Yunying."

"Sister Jinling." The girl turned around, saw Dong Jinling, and went up to hold Dong Jinling's hand. They were cousins. They hadn't seen each other for many years, and their appearance had changed a bit, so they didn't recognize her at first glance. However, after all, they had been together since childhood. The two sisters who played together were very affectionate as soon as they met.

"Sister Yunying, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you have become even more beautiful."

"When it comes to beauty, how can Yunying compare to my sister? My sister is the most beautiful woman." Yunying said with a sweet smile.

Dong Jinling smiled sweetly, looked at Mr. Dong and complained: "Dad, sister Yunying is here, why didn't you give me a shout first? So that I could be prepared."

"I just found out too." Mr. Dong laughed loudly. Dong Yunying's arrival made everyone in the Dong family very happy. Meng Zixuan also heard their conversation just now and realized that Dong Yunying was the daughter of Mr. Dong's biological brother. She was deeply moved. Favored by the Dong family and seeing their family reunited, Meng Zixuan stood up knowingly.

"Mr. Dong, Miss Dong, Meng will not interrupt your conversation. If there is nothing else, please leave first."

"Mr. Meng..." Dong Jinling had just paid attention to Dong Yunying, and then she realized that Meng Zixuan was also present. She wanted to ask who Meng Zixuan brought back, but it was not convenient for her to say anything now. She smartly guessed that the person Meng Zixuan brought back was Dong Yunying, although she didn't know how Meng Zixuan and Dong Yunying met, Dong Jinling was still very grateful to Meng Zixuan for bringing Dong Yunying.

Dong Yunying laughed out loud, took Dong Jinling's hand and said, "Sister Jinling, thanks to Mr. Meng for leading the way today, otherwise I would still be wandering around the city like a headless fly."

"Yes, thank you very much Mr. Meng." Mr. Dong stood up and looked at Meng Zixuan with a smile. He heard from his daughter that there was a daughter's savior living in the house, and he never had a chance to meet him. Today, he met for the first time, and Meng Zixuan Having brought the niece whom Master Dong has loved since childhood, Master Dong was naturally happy. "If Mr. Meng doesn't mind, how about having a meal together tonight?"

"Okay, uncle." Dong Yunying clapped her hands in agreement.

Dong Jinling expected Meng Zixuan to agree, but then Meng Zixuan unexpectedly refused: "Thank you Mr. Dong for your kindness. Today, Meng will not disturb Mr. Dong's family reunion. Let's do it another day." After saying that, Meng Zixuan retreated and stood before Dong Jinling. There was a trace of disappointment on his face. Dong Yunying was a girl, so of course he could tell, so he smiled softly and asked, "Sister Jin Ling seems to be very concerned about that Mr. Meng..."

"It's nothing, don't make blind guesses." Dong Jinling laughed, suppressing the worries in his heart without leaving any trace.
