Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Newcomer to the West Garden
Mu Zhiyue walked on the road between Xiuzhutang and Fangxie Courtyard, fortunately, the shade of the trees on both sides was thick, and she couldn't feel the sun like fire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although she didn't take the initiative to fight for it in her previous life, she secretly let her grandmother see her hardships. Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that in the previous life, Mu Jingyun had to compete for the position of the princess of Bofu.
Why did I forget, the second sister can't marry back to Beijing, and the third sister is also the granddaughter of her grandmother's relatives, and her age is the same. At that time, Aunt Yan's son had just been born, and it was the time when the spring breeze was proud.
From this point of view, it is really God's mercy that he was able to get the Cao family's relatives in his previous life. It's just that things are a good thing, but the Cao family is not his own way back.
Reliving a life, she no longer wants to have anything to do with the Cao family, this matter, they are willing to fight for it, they rely on their own ability.
"Squeak", the heavy sound of pushing the door in the distance interrupted Mu Zhiyue's mood.
The two courtyards where people live in the West Garden are usually maintained, and the doors are often poured with tung oil, but it is rare to hear this toothache sound.
Separated by layers of rockeries, Mu Zhiyue couldn't see where the sound came from, thinking of the new person who lived in Xiyuan, thinking of the mysterious figure, and curious.
beckoned a clever little maid to come over, and told her to go over quietly to take a look, the little maid walked away quickly after winning her life, and Mu Zhiyue was ready to take the maids back to Fangxi Courtyard first.
After walking a few dozen feet away, the little maid sent to check on came back at a trot, because she ran too quickly, and her face was as red as a ripe peach.
The little maid gasped and replied intermittently: "Girl, the slave saw the fourth son go to Yisong Garden."
Yi Song Yuan is the residence arranged by the second aunt for the person saved by her grandfather. Located in the southwest corner of the West Garden, because of the remote location, few people go there, but it is a clean place suitable for recuperation.
"What is my brother going to do there?" Mu Zhiyue wrinkled her eyebrows and said to herself, "Let's go, let's take a look."
She lifted the hem of her shirt and quickened her pace in the direction of Yi Songyuan, instinctively repulsing this stranger, especially after she noticed the strange figure of Xiuzhutang.
Skirting the layers of rockery, there is an open field in front of you, with only a few sparse pine trees at the edges, clusters of silver-needle-like leaves stretching outward, and behind the pine trees is a row of inverted houses and a varnished wooden door.
Just under the pine tree, stood an older man. Dressed in indigo muslin short brown, with a cloth belt around his waist, his blue-brown face is covered with vicissitudes, and his face looks very simple.
"May I ask who the girl is?" The man standing under the tree counting the number of pine cones heard the footsteps and turned around, and saw Mu Zhiyue, and hurriedly greeted him and asked earnestly.
"I'm the sixth girl in the fifth room, may I ask my brother is here", Mu Zhiyue asked.
The man nodded hurriedly without thinking about it: "Well, the fourth young master is here, he also just came, he and Zhou Gongzi are fine, they have come every day for the past few days."
Mu Zhiyue was a little annoyed, she was out of the house and the Cao family these days, and she ignored her brother. It's just that he has such a good relationship with the person his grandfather brought back, and his brother's personality can't be taken advantage of.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhiyue felt that the road under her feet was a little unstable.
whispered a few words to Ling Yan, Ling Yan nodded and walked to the older man, and said humbly: "Please help our girl to pass through, just say that the fifth master is back and wants to see the fourth son, please come out."
"Hehe, what's the trouble, the girl has something to do, just give it to you, the slave will go in and give you a gift", the man smiled innocently, and entered the gate of Yisong Yuan directly without saying goodbye.
After a while, Mu Chenqi trotted out from inside, his face was as bright as spring, his eyes were shining, he ran to Mu Zhiyue and grabbed her cuffs, and asked with a smile, "Why is Yue'er here, I had a good chat with Brother Zhou Heng, do you want to hear it too?"
Zhou Heng, Mu Zhiyue felt as if she had heard this name somewhere, a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it. This guy has only been here for a few days and bought his brother, and it doesn't seem to be a peaceful master.
"Brother, I won't go in, my father sent someone to spread the word that he will come back for dinner tonight, let's go back first", Mu Zhiyue gently persuaded Mu Chenqi.
It is true that Mu Wuye wants to come back for dinner, and this is still yesterday evening Mu Wuye's elder came back with Qi An to tell him, saying that his father wants to eat wine and stuffed duck gizzard soup, because this dish must be simmered a day in advance to taste, so he sent Qi An back to say.
Now it has become an excuse for Mu Zhiyue's brother to return to Fangxi Hospital, although she can't remember which Zhou Heng is, but she subconsciously rejects this person for no reason.
Today's Mu Chenqi was not obedient or speechless in the past, but only dragged Mu Zhiyue forward, "Yue'er and I went in to have a look, it's fun."
Lingyan and Su'er who came with them hurriedly stepped forward to stop Mu Chenqi, Su'er looked at Mu Zhiyue's wrist the day before yesterday and was a little anxious, the girl broke the bracelet the day before yesterday, and she didn't find anything at the time, and when she woke up the next day, she found that her wrist was swollen a little, and her fleshy little arm looked even more fat.
"Fourth son, the girl's wrist is swollen, don't pull her", Ling Yan persuaded on the side.
Mu Chenqi listened to Ling Yan's words and showed a little worry, but he didn't grab Mu Zhiyue's wrist again like the startled horse, but gently held it up, and when he saw the blue and purple marks on it, he had a sad look on his face.
"Yue'er must be in pain, why are you more careless than me, I don't always fall", just a moment Mu Chenqi turned sad and turned into a proud look.
Mu Zhiyue nodded dotingly, "Well, Yue'er will definitely learn from my brother in the future", although my brother is not intellectually enough, he has a rare and valuable true temperament.
After the brother and sister finished greetings, Mu Zhiyue found that a young man living with a cane came out of Yisong Garden, and it was the man who had just entered the ceremony to help him.
The young man was dressed in a blue plain silk straight jacket, his skin was as white as jade, and he seemed to have a luster against the background of his clothes, but his white was more bleak, and he could see that his body was indeed not good.
At the age of more than ten years, although he was on crutches, it still couldn't affect his height that was different from his face, standing there as resolute and upright as the green pine beside him, looking at Mu Zhiyue with his eyes like a deep ancient well.
"This is the sixth girl, next Zhou Heng, now living in Mu Mansion, please bear more", Zhou Heng put his crutches under his armpits, and reluctantly bowed his hand.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Mu Zhiyue politely and detached curtsy "Zhou Gongzi is good"
"It's better to hear it for a long time than to see it, Brother Ling told me about you, saying that you are the best sister in the world", Mu Zhiyue didn't expect that Gongzi would still be standing here and talking in detail this week.
Coupled with his suspicions, I didn't want to talk to him more, so I just said perfunctorily, "Brother carries love".
Then he turned his head to look at Mu Chenqi, "Brother, it's almost time for dinner, my father should be back, let's go back too."
Mu Chenqi was reluctantly pulled away by his sister, leaving Zhou Heng, who was standing there and looking at the direction they left, his eyes seemed to be unfocused, looking at the rockery that did not move after people walked by, and seemed to be looking at the unknown distance......
