While Nie Xun was observing Meng Heng, wasn't Meng Heng also sizing him up?
When he saw Nie Xun walking against the light, he vaguely saw the graceful and gorgeous beauty walking towards him, her face incomparably magnificent.
Meng Heng took a closer look and finally saw Nie Xun's true appearance. He couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
There was actually such a stunning face in this world!
After the surprise, Meng Heng vaguely felt that Nie Xun's face was somewhat familiar, but the memory was too distant, and he couldn't recall it immediately.
Nie Xun laughed and teased when he saw this. "Xun's face is extremely similar to a Rakshasa, actually scaring Brother Heng to the point of not knowing what to say?"
When Nie Xun said that, Meng Heng quickly retracted his thoughts and stopped thinking about where he had seen Nie Xun.
"How can that be?" Meng Heng said, "If Brother Xun's face was like a rakshasa, wouldn't Heng be too ashamed to meet people?"
Although Meng Heng had never met Nie Xun before, he felt an urge to get close to him. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time.
When Nie Xun called him "Brother Heng", Meng Heng very naturally followed up and called him "Little Brother Xun".
As soon as the two of them met, they addressed each other as brothers. With just a few words, they had become extremely close to each other.
As Meng Heng joked with Nie Xun, he was secretly impressed by the other party's thoroughness.
Why did he say that Nie Xun was thorough?
Meng Heng was expelled from the Meng family. He only had his first name and no surname, so it was very awkward to address him.
Nie Xun called him "Brother Heng", cleverly avoiding this point and preserving Meng Heng's remaining face. Was this not considered thorough?
Meng Heng was grateful for her thoughtfulness. His expression softened, and his attitude became friendlier and friendlier.
"Brother Xun's appearance is the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life. I'm afraid there are very few people in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. Brother Xun, you shouldn't belittle yourself." Meng Heng honestly explained the reason for his absent-mindedness. "I was dazed just now. Younger Brother Xun, please forgive this older brother's rude and impetuous actions."
Nie Xun had known that he was good-looking since he was young. What kind of compliment had he not heard before?
He was tired of listening to it.
When these words came out of Meng Heng's mouth, Nie Xun felt comfortable all over. The corners of his lips curled up a little.
Meng Heng added, "I'm not afraid of Brother Xun laughing at me. When I saw you walking over just now, I felt as though I saw an old friend that I hadn't seen for many years."
Nie Xun was shocked, but he said, "Really? So it's not just Xun who has this feeling! "
Although they felt like old friends at first sight, Meng Heng did not let down his guard. Instead, he secretly probed Nie Xun's intentions.
In his opinion, Nie Xun's visit was definitely instructed by Huang Song, but he didn't know what the purpose was.
After talking for more than an hour, the sky outside gradually darkened.
Nie Xun took his leave regretfully, and Meng Heng stood up to send him off.
After sending him off, Meng Heng still had no idea why Nie Xun was there.
Don't look at how they talked, but if you really analyzed the content of the conversation, you would find that they only talked about the interesting things of their youth and didn't touch on any political affairs.
"You really don't know Mr. Nie?"
Meng Heng returned to his room in a daze. His wife's puzzled question drifted into his ears.
"I just feel that he looks familiar, but after thinking about it, I really haven't seen him before." Meng Heng came back to his senses and said, "I heard that Nie Xun is from Bianzhou in Zhongzhao. Before he became an official in Huangsong, he never left his homeland. How did I get to know him? Why do you ask?"
Meng Heng's wife pointed at the pile of gifts on the table and sighed. "This Madam Nie is truly a considerate and gentle person. Look at the gifts she gave. Every single one of them is delivered to the heart. Governor Huang's gift of silk satin and gold and silver jewelry is good, but this madam gave a lot of good fertility medicine and nourishing food. These materials are delicate and soft. Although they haven't been dyed, they're best for women and babies … "
Huang Song's gifts were expensive, but many of the materials weren't suitable for pregnant women. They looked good but weren't practical.
Nie Xun and his wife's gifts were heartfelt. It was as if everything had been considered. Not only were there gentle and nourishing herbs, food, and cloth, but there was also a box of silver fragments. Huang Song gave him gold, which he couldn't spend. However, the box of silver fragments Nie Xun and his wife gave him immediately came in handy.
The gifts weren't very expensive, but the thought was enough.
Meng Heng frowned and raised his hand to touch the items.
After thinking about it, Meng Heng's brows relaxed.
"Just now, Nie Xun mentioned that his wife is also pregnant."
Because Madam Nie was also pregnant, it was more convenient to prepare the things a pregnant woman needed.
No matter how he thought about it, this was the only reason that made sense.
Meng Heng glanced at his wife. When he saw that she was smiling and didn't look like she was wronged, his impression of Nie Xun and his wife improved.
He heard that Nie Xun's wife was the youngest legitimate daughter of Master Yuanjing. She had an extraordinary background and a good upbringing.
This kind of noble lady was prideful to the core and disdained to associate with lowly people.
Because his wife was the daughter of a butcher, no one taught her how to deal with those difficult women when she was still a virgin. After his wife married him, she was often ostracized by the other noble ladies of the Meng family, both openly and secretly. Meng Heng knew this, but he couldn't help her.
Every time he saw his wife's sad expression, Meng Heng felt bad. He could only try his best to help her.
Nie Xun and his wife came to visit. They couldn't just take care of Nie Xun and leave Nie Xun's wife to the side, right?
In the end, the mistress still had to entertain them.
From the looks of it, Nie Xun's wife didn't have the bad temper of a noble lady and was very gentle.
His wife said, "No wonder — Madam Nie looks childish, but she's very good at raising children."
Meng Heng asked casually, "What's Madam Nie's personality like?"
His wife said, "I was a little worried that I would neglect her, but after getting to know her, that madam's personality is really great."
She had interacted with many noble ladies, but they couldn't compare to Madam Nie.
Not to mention anything else, just her temperament made people unable to help but get close to her.
However —
There was one thing that was very strange. Madam Nie was very respectful to her.
But then again, she was only the daughter of a butcher. What did she have that was worthy of a madam from a noble family treating her with respect?
That was why his wife asked Meng Heng if he was close friends with Nie Xun.
The husband and wife looked at each other, puzzled.
It was late at night. Meng Heng and his wife were tired, so they washed up and went to bed.
Meng Heng closed his eyes, but he couldn't fall asleep. Nie Xun's face kept swaying in front of him.
Meng Heng tossed and turned, startling his wife who was beside him.
"Langjun?"
His wife was confused. Meng Heng's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered another face.
"I remember — Mother!" Meng Heng blurted out.
His wife was surprised. "Mother? What does this have to do with Mother-In-Law? "
"Nie Xun, he looks a little similar to Mother when she was young. I was wondering why I thought he looked familiar —"
His wife exclaimed, "Mr. Nie looks like Mother-In-Law when she was young?"
Meng Heng said, "I was just thinking about who Nie Xun looks like, and I suddenly remembered when I was young — Nie Xun does look a little similar to Mother."
The Meng and Madam Liu were enemies, so Meng Heng was also restrained. Even though he got married, he couldn't bring his wife to meet his birth mother.
