Chapter 100: Drawing the Serpent Out of the Hole 2
The child's crying sounded loudly, and when he was at a loss, people gathered around him to watch, Mei Ziyan held the child and was anxious to leave, and a kind woman pulled her and said: "Poor one, I'm afraid that this baby is hungry and making a lot of noise, you quickly find a place to feed!"
At this moment, Mei Ziyan was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to find a place to dig a pit to hide in, but someone sighed: "This little couple is really, they can't ...... with a child."
The do-gooder pursed his lips and whispered, "Her husband has a broken arm, and it is enough to have an unfortunate ......."
Mei Ziyan was so anxious that she just wanted to argue loudly, but at this time, she heard the "creak" of the vermilion lacquer copper nail door of the Fenglou open the crack, Ah Feng poked her head out curiously, Mei Ziyan hurriedly stuffed the child into Bao Huan's arms, walked over, grabbed the door with one hand, and shouted loudly:
"Mu Cheng, I know you're inside, why don't you come out to see me? If you want to scold me and hate me, you have to make it clear to your face, why are you avoiding me like this? I know I'm wrong...... But are we suffering less?, why are you, why are you ......" At the end, her voice lowered, already crying.
Ah Feng forced the door shut, and said loudly: "Why are you still pestering? No wonder our master doesn't want to see you, how can you be so clever at deceiving people as a woman, and actually say that it is our master's runaway wife, don't you have children and husbands? Do you think our master will be deceived by you again and again?!"
Could it be that he really broke off his thoughts about her, was afraid, and regretted it? Mei Ziyan retracted her hand in a daze, and the door of Tingfeng Lou was closed hard, and she stood silently, and the big tears in her eyes were dripping blankly. Bao Huan held the crying child in one hand, and took Mei Ziyan with the other hand and strode away from Tingfeng Tower.
It was the first time he had seen her look so depressed, she hadn't eaten much dinner, and she looked in a trance all night.
I got up in the middle of the night and quietly walked into the courtyard, and saw that the light in her room was on, and the lonely figure reflected the darkness of the room.
I don't know when she started to lose her composure.
Pushing the door out, I saw Bao Huan standing in the courtyard.
"Do me a favor, okay?" she asked.
After she made her intentions clear, Bao Huan, who was usually calm and composed, also changed her face.
"You're just fooling around!" he said angrily.
"If you don't go, I'll go. I know that the place of the joint is at the fortune-telling booth in front of the Changsheng Casino......"
Bao Huan grabbed her with one hand, tried to suppress the ups and downs of his voice, and said, "Don't you go...... There are three religions and nine streams of people there, I'll go ......"
Early the next morning, she changed back into a man's costume, put a Confucian hat on her head, and knocked on the door of Tingfeng Tower. It was still Ah Feng who opened the door, he looked at her with a frown, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Why are you delivering food boxes so early?"
"Naturally not. I'm here to hear that Fenglou has business to discuss. ”
In the hall of Tingfeng Building, Mei Ziyan sat on a rosewood chair, took the tea bowl handed by the little maid, blew it, and then took a sip.
Ah Feng took a closer look at the appearance of the woman in front of him, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, faintly like a dyed sorrowful color, her phoenix eyes were narrow and charming, her brown pupils were dark and inverted, her nose bridge was straight and delicate, her cherry lips were plump and full of soft pink, and although her chin was sharpened, she threw a very beautiful arc, and she knew at a glance that she was a very smart woman.
Mu Cheng's matter, Ah Feng also heard a lot, and at this moment, he still vaguely understood in his heart that his master and this woman were really not ordinary entanglements. He cleared his throat and said:
"Do you know what we do in Tingfeng Building?"
"Yes. Buy and sell messages. ”
"So do you want to buy the news or sell the news?"
"It's a bit of both. ”
"Your news isn't necessarily valuable," Ah Feng said, "but the news you buy will definitely be expensive." ”
"I can afford it. ”
"What message do you want to sell?"
"I want to know why Mu Cheng hid and didn't see Mei Ziyan. ”
Ah Feng laughed, this woman is really not ordinary bold, "We don't sell the news about the landlord." ”
Mei Ziyan took out a thing from her arms and put it in front of him, "Whether to sell it or not, it should be up to him." This is the deposit I paid, and he read it and believed that he would be willing to sell the news. ”
Ah Feng was surprised, it was a transparent green jade ring, which could be seen to be very valuable, but the dense cracks on it spread half of the ring.
"The balance will be deducted from the news of my sale. Mei Ziyan drank all the tea in the bowl, put down the tea bowl, and said, "Someone went to Qianjintang to find Du Pengyuan to buy Mei Ziyan's life." You should ask your master if this news is worth it. After saying that, Shi Shiran got up to leave, but the stunned Ah Feng reacted very quickly to block her way and asked:
"Who is going to buy your life?"
"He knows. She threw down just four words and walked past Ah Feng out of the gate of Tingfeng Tower.
Bao Huan was waiting for her not far in front of Tingfeng Tower, she raised her head and looked at the slightest clouds in the clear blue sky, smiled slightly, and said to him:
"The weather is so nice today, Bao Huan, I'm going to go to the lake. ”
Mei Ziyan left, and when she heard the wind building, she was in a mess.
Qing Zhao listened to Ah Feng's 1510 report, his face became darker and darker, his brows suddenly frowned when he saw the green jade ring, and when he heard the last sentence, he barely jumped up, and grabbed Ah Feng's collar with one hand and asked angrily:
"Miss Mei, where is she?!"
"Go, go......"
"Where did you go?"
"No, I don't know......"
Qing Zhao was so angry that he threw Ah Feng away and yelled at him: "Send someone to find Miss Mei immediately! I'm afraid your life will be ruined if it's too late, Miss Mei really has something to do, see if the Lord doesn't skin you!"
He hurriedly walked out of the backyard of Tingfeng Building and arrived at Zhu'anju, and the old servant said that Mu Cheng had gone out early in the morning, and he didn't say where to go. Qing Zhao was so anxious that he was frightened, whistled and summoned his brown mount, and got on his horse to find Mu Cheng in person.
In front of the dilapidated gate of the Suide Palace, Ming Shu stepped forward and pushed the door open vigorously, and Mu Cheng walked in with his hand. The deaf and dumb old servant came over, and behind him Mingshu gestured to reprimand the old servant for being too lazy, and the old servant didn't know whether he heard it clearly or not, just nodded blindly.
The old servant sent a message the day before yesterday, saying that the pomegranate tree in front of the Yuanshuang Pavilion had bloomed for the first time this year.
Mu Cheng walked to the front of the Yuanshuang Pavilion, the pomegranate tree really bloomed, and only one bloomed last year, but when I saw it today, there were several of them, and one tree was scorching and glorious. Pomegranate blossoms bloom in early summer, and the noisy and vulgar peach and plum in spring are no longer there, only this fiery pomegranate flower silently accompanies him who is lonely.
He sat on the bluestone bench under the pomegranate tree, and as far as he could see, there was the West Garden of the Yuanshuang Pavilion that had been locked and full of dust.
Mother, she's back.
But I didn't dare to face her.
I don't know who she will be, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the person I miss day and night will be gone after all, and I'm afraid that I can't hold it and want to possess even a shell.
The sunlight leaked through the cracks in the trees, dappled and dappled all over his clothes, his clear and handsome face was much clearer than before, and his eyebrows were still warm, but he was less sharp and more deep and introverted.
A slight hot wind blew, and something blew down from the tree diagonally opposite, to his feet.
He looked down and saw that the fine Xue Tao note had been folded into the shape of a harrier with wings ready to fly, and it was still stained with ink.
He frowned, leaned over to pick up the paper harrier, and a strange and inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. The feeling didn't disappear until he opened the paper harrier in its entirety and saw the sentence written on it, but he couldn't even breathe a little. Mingshu came over with tea, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but say:
"Childe, I don't know where the boring people came from flew these many paper harriers into the palace along the wind, did you see it, there are a lot of trees hanging in front of Yuanshuang Pavilion, and a lot of them have fallen on the ground. ”
Mu Cheng stood in the open space in front of the east and west pavilions, and sure enough, the dense leaves on the yellow locust trees on both sides kept a lot of paper harriers, and when the wind blew, they swirled in the air like fallen leaves, and fell at his feet.
Persimmon, I'm back.
Persimmon, it's hot, I can't sleep, I miss you.
Persimmon, I have a lot to say to you, where have you been?
Persimmon, Xiyang is gone, Ziyan is back, do you still refuse to forgive me......
......
Mu Cheng stood in place in a daze, holding several disassembled Xue Tao notes with one hand, and covering his slightly trembling chest with the other hand, a heart that seemed to be rubbed by an invisible hand sore and painful, bitter and sweet intertwined.
Mingshu didn't notice his abnormality, and continued to say to himself: "I don't know whose prank it is, the dumb uncle is still sweeping a lot of fallen leaves over there, no, it's just lighting a fire to burn!"
Mu Cheng strode towards the backyard, there was a smell of burning plants and trees in the air, his heart tightened, and when he went to the backyard, the pile of fallen leaves secretly lit up with white smoke, he rushed up and kicked the scattered fallen leaves, and quickly grabbed two or three unburned paper harriers.
Mingshu, who followed behind, exclaimed, "Childe, be careful!"
Persimmons, tonight's last quarter moon is so beautiful......
Persimmon, how long are you going to keep me waiting in Tiandu......
My appearance has become ugly, and you don't want to look at it?
Whether it's Xiyang or Ziyan, I always have you in my heart.
......
"Zi Yan...... You always have a way to easily impress people...... "The heart that has been broken into by her is still undefensible......
The sorrow and sourness in his heart faded like a tide, he looked at the blue sky in a corner of the high wall of the palace, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, which was a joy from the bottom of his heart, like a spring flower blooming snow breaking the ice.
She's really back.
"Lord," Qing Zhao was so anxious that his face turned pale and he quickly ran straight to Mu Cheng's side and saluted, saying:
"Miss Mei, she ...... Something may have happened to her. ”
The warmth around Mu Cheng disappeared at this moment, his heart seemed to suddenly fall into the ice and snow, he looked at Qing Zhao, and asked word by word:
"What are you talking about?
"Someone went to Qianjintang to find Du Pengyuan to take her life, and his subordinates have already asked people to find Miss Mei. ”
Mu Cheng strode out of the mansion, "Who bought the murder?!"
Who dares to want her life so boldly? Mu Cheng's face was already extremely blue, and he couldn't hear Qing Zhao's echo behind him, he turned his head and stared at Qing Zhao, and Qing Zhao snorted and said:
"The subordinates asked people to check, and the person who went to contact Du Pengyuan was Bao Huan, and she left Tingfeng Tower and went to Zhaoyue Lake to visit the lake. ”
"Bao Huan?" Mu Cheng's mind immediately understood, and after gasping, he scolded hatefully: "Mei Ziyan, how dare you do this!"
He gritted his teeth and flew up, jumped on his horse, and went straight to Zhaoyue Lake.
