Standing in front of the Taifu Mansion, Du Weiwei's figure did not move for a long time, watching the carriage until he was out of his sight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info It is true that he came to find Shi Muran, but after meeting Mu Ran, he wanted to meet with Mu Yunxin, so naturally he couldn't let He Xiao's people follow.

Zi Ko stood behind Du Weiwei, with some confusion in her eyes: "Princess, will the earth commander secretly follow us?" ”

Turning his head, the corners of Du Weiwei's mouth were bright and faint smiles: "Although the four people of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang obey my orders on the surface, they actually don't obey me in their hearts, and if I let him leave, he will feel relaxed and comfortable, and he will not follow anymore." ”

Nodding as if he didn't understand, Zi Ko followed Du Weiwei and walked towards Taifu's mansion.

As soon as they stepped up the steps and stood still, the two of them came up to the door and stopped them: "Who is it?" Seeing that the two of them were richly dressed and beautiful, the tone of the family who spoke was polite.

Zi Koo's eyes widened, and her voice was crisp: "When Princess Lizun visits, don't hurry up and inform your master." ”

When the two family members heard this, their expressions were obviously a little stunned, they glanced at each other, and then looked at Du Weiwei, and felt more and more that the woman in front of them was beautiful and comfortable, and couldn't help but look at it twice.

"Don't go yet!" Seeing the two family members looking at their princess with great disrespect, Zi Ko's voice suddenly raised.

Shocked by Zikou's words, the two family members hurriedly lowered their eyes, turned around and ran towards the house.

Looking at Zikou's expression, Du Weiwei couldn't help but smile at the corner of his eyes: "Zikou is becoming more and more capable now." ”

Her face suddenly became hot, and Zikou was very uncomfortable with Du Weiwei praising herself like this, so she could only grin.

Soon, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper hurriedly ran out: "When the princess comes to visit, there is a loss to welcome and a loss to welcome." As he spoke, he couldn't stop nodding at Du Weiwei.

With a shallow smile, Du Weiwei didn't say much, and nodded to the housekeeper.

The middle-aged man bowed shallowly again, smiled thickly, and the folds on his face were deeply folded several times: "I am the housekeeper of the Taifu Mansion, and the princess can call me Lao Shi." After a pause, he raised his hand, "The princess please." ”

Du Weiwei's expression was light, and he followed behind Lao Shi steadily.

Just a few steps into the Taifu Mansion, Du Weiwei opened his mouth directly, although there was a smile in his words, he was polite: "Steward Shi, I'm here to see Mu Ran." You can just take me to her yard. ”

His expression stiffened suddenly, and Lao Shi's body with his back to Du Weiwei stopped for a moment, but he quickly regained his calm look, turned around, and smiled a little sneeringly: "Princess...... My adults have already laid out tea ...... in the front hall."

"Don't bother Master Taifu, I'll just talk to Mu Ran for a few thoughtful words, I won't stay for long." Du Wei's smile is still there, but his words cannot be refused.

Lao Shi's complexion changed suddenly, and he secretly said in his heart, how could this princess be so ignorant of the rules, her own master had already prepared the tea very quickly, and this princess didn't go without saying a word?

The smile became fainter and fainter, and Du Weiwei said softly: "Please ask Steward Shi to lead the way." This time, the words were not as warm as before.

“…… Yes, "After hesitating for a while, Lao Shi still agreed.

After walking many small roads and turning several streets, Lao Shi's footsteps finally stopped at the gate of a very simple-looking courtyard.

“…… The princess ......" Lao Shi's expression was a little embarrassed.

A few steps forward, Du Weiwei's smile was still shallow, but there was a slight chill in his eyes: "Mu Ran is in Taifu Mansion, just live here?" ”

In the courtyard in front of me, the outer wall skin has been a little mottled, the wooden door is broken with a large opening, and you can see that there are many weeds growing inside, and the turf outside the wall has exposed a lot of soil.

The body froze, and this time, Lao Shi couldn't speak.

Without waiting for the housekeeper to speak, Du Weiwei stepped forward directly, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked inside.

Zikou carried the food box, glanced at the housekeeper, and followed Du Weiwei into the courtyard.

The yard is very cold, this is what Du Weiwei felt when he first stepped in, and the air from the shop was damp and musty.

In the far side of the courtyard, a little maid dressed in gray linen was struggling to fetch water from the well, her thin body was struggling with all her strength, and her arms were already trembling a little.

With a frown, Du Wei beckoned to Zikou behind him.

Zikou understood, stepped forward, put down the food box in her hand on the stone table, and walked towards the little girl.

There was a creak, and the small door opened.

Shi Muran's soft voice sounded: "Xiaohui, there is still water in the room, no need to ......" raised his head, and the words in his mouth stopped suddenly.

Du Weiwei stood in the distance and smiled at Shi Muran, and in his voice, it was soft and warm: "Mu Ran." ”

At that moment, Shi Muran's eyes were full of tears.

Sitting down in the house, Du Wei looked around, different from the cold and musty smell outside, the windows in the house were pasted with several layers of thick paper, leaving only one window open to breathe.

In the bedroom, there are very few furnishings, two beds at each end, a scratched fairy table in the middle, and two dilapidated wooden stools with sour branches.

Zikou put the food box on the table, and retreated behind Du Weiwei, but in the bottom of her heart, she also felt distressed about this Miss Shi.

Shi Muran was dressed in a light blue-gray coarse material suit, with a wooden hairpin in his hair, and nothing else.

"I'm here, it's too shabby, and I don't have a tea for Weiwei, and I hope to ...... Weiwei"

"I brought some snacks, I don't know if Mu Ran likes it or not?" Without waiting for Shi Muran's words to finish, Du Weiwei opened his mouth to himself.

Shi Muran was stunned suddenly, looking at the non-stop movements of Du Weiwei's hand, he didn't know what to say.

The food box was opened, and the cage drawer was taken out layer by layer, and three boxes of intricate and beautiful pastries were placed on the table.

The eyes of the woman called Xiaohui behind Shi Muran lit up suddenly, staring at the pastry deadly, and couldn't help swallowing saliva in her mouth.

After a flash, Du Weiwei's voice was low and reassuring: "Zikou, take two plates of pastries and go to the courtyard to eat with Miss Xiaohui." He chuckled again, "Didn't you eat this pastry earlier?" Don't go yet. ”

Instantly comprehended Du Weiwei's meaning, Zikou smiled on her face, stretched out her hand and took two plates of pastries, and thanked her again and again: "Thank you, Princess~"

He smiled at Xiaohui, who looked particularly timid, his eyes raised, and Zikou went out first.

Xiaohui first looked at Du Weiwei, and then at Shi Muran's back, not daring to move.

"Go ahead." Shi Muran's voice sounded, and it was weak in his heart.

With a sudden burst of joy on her face, Xiaohui saluted and hurriedly retreated.

Inside, there was silence for a moment.

Du Weiwei didn't make a sound, but his hands kept moving, sandwiched the pastry into a small plate, and pushed it in front of Shi Muran.

Stretched out his hand to pick up the plate, but Shi Muran never moved, just kept rubbing the plate, did not move, lowered his eyes for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Weiwei, thank you." ”

Picking up a small piece of jujube cake and eating it, Du Weiwei's expression was calm: "I was looking for you, but I didn't come to hear you say thank you." ”

His expression paused obviously, Shi Muran's head hung lower, and the hand touching the plate clenched the ground harder.

"Mu Ran, how are you doing?" Du Weiwei was a little anxious in his heart.

stood up suddenly, but Shi Muran didn't answer her question directly, just got up and walked to the bed, took out a small cloth bag buried under the pillow, unfolded it, and there was a pair of clear jade earrings in it, smiled at the corner of his mouth, walked to the table again, and put the earrings in front of Du Weiwei: "Weiwei, you didn't go to the **** for your wedding, this gift has been prepared for a long time, just give it to you today, and I hope Weiwei will not dislike it." ”

His mind could no longer be calm, and he put down the chopsticks in his hand heavily, Du Weiwei's eyebrows looked straight at Shi Muran: "Mu Ran, if you are like this, I, Du Weiwei, will never ask about you again in the future." Right when I don't have you as a friend! ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Weiwei got up and walked out of the house.

Du Weiwei's footsteps fell in front of the door, and Shi Muran's voice sounded softly, revealing an indescribable sense of helplessness: "Weiwei, I'm going to get married." ”

His expression paused suddenly, Du Weiwei turned around in an instant, and his voice lost his original timbre a little: "What did you say?!" ”

Raising his eyes, Shi Muran's heart became more and more helpless: "The third prince came to propose marriage, and my father agreed." ”

Turning around and sitting down on the stool, Du Weiwei's voice suddenly rose: "The third prince? Marry you as a concubine? ”

Shaking his head helplessly, a wry smile appeared on Shi Muran's face: "No, side concubine." ”

His eyes widened suddenly, and Du Wei's eyes slid through the coolness: "Concubine Fang?!" "Mu Yunxin, what are you?

"What about Lu Lang?"

pinched a piece of sweet cake and put it in his mouth, Shi Muran's voice was a little choked: "After that day, I will never see you again." ”

Clenched his sleeves tightly, Du Weiwei's expression became more and more cold: "What is the situation?" ”

"After that day, I went to the teahouse where we met on the agreed day every month, but he never showed up again." Tears were already overflowing Shi Muran's eyes, "I left a letter to him several times, but he didn't come." ”

Lu Lang silently recited the man's name in his heart, and the coldness in Du Weiwei's eyes became more and more obvious.

"Twice, when I went out secretly, my eldest brother complained to my father, arrested me, and lived in this courtyard and never went out again." Trying to retract his tears, Shi Muran tried his best to say his things in a docile tone.

"Shi Tianpu or is he deliberately making trouble for you?" Du Weiwei was completely enraged, his voice was raised high, and his heart was full of distress and pity for the woman in front of him, this smart and lovely woman should not be subjected to such an encounter!

Lowering his head, his sleeves brushing away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Shi Muran raised his head again, and tried to pull out a smile: "Big brother hasn't been bothering me all the time, I stay in this courtyard, and I will be fine." ”

Stretched out his hand, pressed Shi Muran's shoulder, bent down slightly to look at her, Du Weiwei's eyes were solemn: "Mu Ran, what do you think?" ”

Xu was a little flustered by Du Weiwei's eyes, Shi Muran looked away, and his tone was a little flustered: "I...... I didn't think much of it. How does Dad arrange it...... I'll just do what ......."

Pressing Shi Muran's shoulder hard, Du Weiwei's words were determined: "Mu Ran, don't wronged yourself." After a pause, Du Weiwei's voice became deeper, "If you don't want to, I'll help you." ”
