Xiangyun's dowry Zhuangzi is not big, it is a small three-entry house, which is similar to the pattern of Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Dadu. Xiangyun naturally lives in the main courtyard in the middle, with three main rooms, two ear rooms, and the last one is the cover room.

The yard is paved with green bricks, and on both sides of the road are planted common farmhouse vegetables such as autumn cabbage, spinach, green onions, etc., as well as two pear trees and two begonias.

As Liu Xi walked, he asked Zhuangzi's housekeeper: "Who died of illness in Zhuangzi?" Where is the young lady? Are you alright? ”

Zhuangzi's housekeeper smiled and said: "If you go back to your father-in-law, it is our young lady's nurse who died." The young lady is affectionate and righteous, and she kept a vigil for Mama Xie for three days, and she was buried in a beautiful manner, and now the young lady is still wearing filial piety! ”

Liu Xi exclaimed: "Is it Mama Xie?" ”

The housekeeper said, "Exactly, what?" Recognized as an old man? ”

Liu Xi said: "I met a few days ago, and she was still alive and kicking to eat and drink at that time, so it's only been a few days, why did she go to Huangquan?" ”

The topic involved the big man above, and the housekeeper didn't dare to talk much, he said with a haha: "Well, the little one is not clear, you still ask our young lady!" ”

As he spoke, he opened the curtain of the main room and invited Liu Xi in.

In the house, Mrs. Jian'an Hou was persuading Xiangyun with snot and tears, moving here from Xiangyun, Mrs. Wu came to make noise with her every day, both soft and hard, and forced her to go back to the Liguo Mansion, Xiangyun was entangled too much, but whether it was her mother's scolding, crying, or bitter persuasion, Xiangyun just refused to agree, she was determined to break off with Mo Zili, not to mention a few tears of her mother, even if she put a knife on her neck at this time, she would not agree.

Once, Mrs. Wu forced her to be anxious, so Xiangyun took out the scissors, cut off a large lock of hair with a "click", and said that if she forced her again, she would go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law. Seeing Xiangyun's resolute attitude, Mrs. Wu didn't dare to force her, so she had to use the excuse of accompanying her to come over and persuade her every day, hoping that she would change her mind and continue to go back to the Liguo Mansion to be the young lady.

After Liu Xi came, Mrs. Wu thought that the queen had something to announce, so she hurriedly led someone to avoid it.

Liu Xi stepped forward, greeted Xiangyun, and secretly glanced at Xiangyun, I haven't seen her for a few days, Xiangyun has lost a lot, the last time I saw her, she still looked energetic, like a female fighter criticizing the shopkeeper of Situ, I heard that someone slandered her, and I picked up a wine bottle and was about to rush over to beat ......

But at this moment, she was like a real woman in the house, she spoke little, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she spoke with a melancholy color.

Liu Xi took out the purchase contract of the hot pot restaurant and the decoration drawings he designed, and said to Xiangyun: "Young lady, the queen asked me to show the young lady these things, if the young lady has no opinion, your hot pot restaurant will be decorated according to the drawings, and it should be open soon." ”

Cuiwen took the things in Liu Xi's hand and handed them to Xiangyun, Xiangyun looked at it carefully, and said: "Very good, I am very satisfied, but I am currently guarding the spirit of the nurse, and it is not convenient to take care of these things. ”

Liu Xi knew that Cai Wei had a deep affection for Xiangyun's sisters, so she naturally wouldn't take it to heart for such a little thing, so she smiled and said: "The young lady is polite, this little thing is taken care of by the miscellaneous family, it is nothing, if the mother knows about the young lady, she will definitely come to visit you in person, but the matter has come to this point, please also ask the young lady to mourn!" ”

mentioned the word 'festival mourning', which suddenly touched Xiangyun's soft intestines, she pursed her mouth, and said sadly: "If the nurse dies of illness or old age, it will be fine, but she is such a way to die, how can you let me mourn?" After saying that, the tears were already rolling down.

Liu Xi said tentatively: "The miscellaneous family has been busy looking for hot pot restaurants these days, and they haven't paid attention to the affairs of the young lady's house, I don't know if I can take the liberty of asking, how did Mama Xie die?" ”

Xiangyun knew that Liu Xi was Cai Wei's confidant, so he didn't hide it from him, crying while talking, and told him what happened intermittently.

Hearing about the cause of Mama Xie's death, Liu Xi's mood was very heavy. Although he has only met Mama Xie once, he will never forget the scene of Mama Xie fighting with that group of scoundrels for Xiangyun, when her feat of desperately protecting the calf deeply shocked him, at that time, Mama Xie was a red-eyed mother, fighting with all her strength to defend her aggrieved children, even if she knew that she couldn't beat others, she had to fight them, such a caring Mama was beaten to death, even a big man like him who had two lifetimes of experience was difficult to accept, What's more, it is a fragile boudoir woman like Xiangyun, no wonder she is sad to leave home!

…。

After coming out of Zhuangzi, Liu Xi was infected by Xiangyun's sadness, thought of the attention and surprise of his previous life, and thought of crossing into this disabled body, he couldn't even do the most basic things to be a man, and he didn't feel sad and in a very bad mood. ”

"Go, go, why don't you go!"

Liu Xizheng was not happy, and was looking for someone to drink and talk to, but after being reminded by the housekeeper, he suddenly thought of Situ's previous invitation, so he opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.

After getting out of the car, Liu Xi turned around and said to Steward Han: "Old boy, go back, go back and tell your family's divorced son, just say that it was your grandfather who said it, he is a blind Wang Ba calf, and he deserves his daughter-in-law not to want him!" ”

After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and swaggered into the trip....

Steward Han was scolded for no reason, and he choked his neck with anger, but he was a person from the palace, so he didn't dare to scold back, so he had to swallow his anger and go back.

After returning home, he said to the mother-in-law who was guarding the second gate, called out his daughter-in-law, and then asked his daughter-in-law to go in and report to the second lady Bai, saying that his errand had been completed.

Soon after the housekeeper's daughter-in-law entered, a mother-in-law came out and called Han Butler, saying that he had ordered him to go to the study to reply. Steward Han didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed his mother-in-law to Mo Zili's study.

Adjacent to the study of the son and the study of the net son and the prince of the period, enter the second gate and go west, pass through a verandah, follow a cobblestone road, and arrive at it without a cup of tea!

In the study, Mo Zili was wearing a brown homely dress embroidered with dark cloud patterns, and was sitting behind the bookcase reading a book. ”

Mo Zili said lightly, "Well, get up!" But the eyes did not take their eyes off the book.

Steward Han knew Mo Zili's temperament, and he didn't dare to say much, so he obediently lowered his head and closed his mouth, the master didn't speak, he never said much.

I don't know how long later, when he thought that Li Gongzi had forgotten his existence, Li Gongzi's voice suddenly came.

"She, is she alright?"

Steward Han was stunned for a moment, then understood, and hurriedly said: "Back to the son, the little one has been waiting outside, and he has never seen the young lady, so, so, uh..." ”

"Smack"

Mo Zili threw the book in his hand aside, and his face was a little angry because of disappointment.

"Don't you know how the young lady is doing with the people of Zhuangzi? How's her body? Have you ever eaten well? Did you say when you would be back? Didn't you ask any of that? How do you do minions? ”

Steward Han shrunk his shoulders and said, "Childe, the old lady and the lady often send people to Zhuangzi to deliver things, these things, the slave thinks..." You know, so, minion.... Didn't ask.... ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Zili's expression became a little colder, and his face showed an unkind look.

"Steward Han, I think you're enough of being a butler, right?"

As soon as he received the eyes of the young man who left the son, Steward Han was shocked, hurriedly knelt down, buckled his head and said: "The son of Li forgives the sin, the slave knows that he is wrong, the slave will prepare the carriage and horse, and go to Zhuangzi again, and he must have asked the son about what he asked..." ”

"Enough!"

Mo Zili interrupted him and said coldly: "You go to prepare the car, I'll go with you." ”

"What? This.... This ......"

The housekeeper was stumped, and they all said that they had broken their muscles and bones for a hundred days, and they had broken two ribs from the son, and now it has been less than a month, how can they withstand the bumps of the carriage? If anything goes wrong, the old lady and the ladies will definitely tear him down alive!

"What is this, why don't you go quickly!"

Mo Zili shouted angrily, slapped the case with a 'snap', and frightened Steward Han, agreed to a 'yes', and hurriedly ran out.

When he got outside, he bitterly ordered to go to the small house to prepare the carriage and horses, although he would be scolded by the old lady and the second lady when he took the son out, but it was better than offending the son, although this master seemed to have a weak temperament, like a person who didn't care about anything, but in his bones he was the most stubborn, offended him, he would never let him go, so, the lesser of two evils, or obediently do as instructed......

At this time, Mo Zili was sitting in the study, bowing his head and slowly drinking the tea in the cup, on the surface he was still indifferent and unfazed, but his heart was already turbulent and full of mixed feelings, far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface.

It's been seven days, she has been away from home for seven days, these seven days, there is no her cheerful and playful laughter in his ears, and there is no way for her to find faults, his life suddenly became silent, quiet like a dry well, so dull that people can't breathe, although, occasionally Du Wanqing's soft singing, improvisational poems, but in his ears, it is so boring and contrived, it's really strange, why didn't he find Du Wanqing pretentious before?

At that time, they were not very common with each other, and they didn't spend much time together every time they met, so he didn't have time to see her clearly, in his heart, he always thought that she was a pure and elegant holy woman who did not eat the fireworks of the world, but now it was different, she lived under the same roof as him, and he had enough opportunities to see her true nature.

She kept saying that she was sad for the loss of her child, and that she had nothing to love, but she couldn't wait to find a doctor to heal her face, and she showed herself that she was not stained with dust and did not eat the fireworks of the world, but she always hinted that he gave her expensive gifts. The closer he came into contact with her, the greater his disappointment, the previous extremely clean face and unstained lead dust, a little bit of collapse in his heart, has become unbearable.

He had already made up his mind that as soon as she was well, he would give her a sum of money to send her away, and from then on they had nothing to do with her.

He wants to find Xiangyun, although Xiangyun can't dance the wind and make the moon, but she is real and cute, and her frank and lively personality can always unconsciously infect him, so that he will suddenly become brighter, and he can't help but think of her in the days when she is away, and think of the short and beautiful time they got along.

She held up her fingers, white as jade, like a little fox, and asked him mysteriously, "What is this?" ”

She crossed her waist and laughed loudly: "Stupid, I'm convinced......

She hid a chess piece behind her, raised her cute little bun face, and argued strongly: "Isn't that how chess is stipulated?" ”

……

His smile, every expression, every action, and every sentence he didn't deliberately remember, but all of them were clearly left in his memory, as if engraved on his heart, making him always reminisce, immersed in it, and unable to extricate himself!

I don't know what I thought, he curled the corners of his mouth, he laughed shallowly, and the little guy Chengcai suddenly walked in, and when he saw the smiling master, he was startled, thinking that he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

The master rarely laughs, and even if he laughs, most of them are disdainful chuckles, sneers, like this person is stupid.... Silly smile, yes, definitely a giggle, he is still the first time to see it, this smile is really rare, precious, if this talented brother also crossed over, he will regret that he did not have a mobile phone on him, otherwise, he will take a picture of the master's smirk on the cliff, as a unique collection!

When Mo Zili found that someone had entered the house, he retracted his smile, stiffened his face, and said coldly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Uh... Childe, Steward Han said.... The car is ready for ......."

Peeking at the master's arrest, Chengcai lowered his head weakly, not daring to look at the eyes of the son.

Fortunately, the master didn't get angry, but only said coldly: "Go and inform Mother Wu, let her send all the things prepared to the car, and we will set off immediately......"

……

After Liu Xi left Zhuangzi, Mrs. Wu trotted into Xiangyun's house, and asked Xiangyun one after another, what kind of edict did the queen say.

She thought privately that the queen was the granddaughter-in-law of the Liguo Mansion, and there was a younger sister who was going to marry into the Liguo Mansion in the future, so she would naturally help the Liguo Mansion speak, so when Grandpa Liu came, she was full of hope that the queen would make a decree and forcibly let Xiangyun return to the house. If the queen issued such a will, even if her daughter was strong, she would never dare to resist the will, and the stone in her heart would fall.

It's a pity that Xiangyun just said lightly: "The queen is here to borrow one from me, and I have already given it to her!" ”

"Nothing else? Didn't the queen know you were out? Mrs. Wu asked unwillingly.

"Nope." Xiangyun replied dryly.

Mrs. Wu was very disappointed, but after thinking about it again, if someone could tell the queen and let the queen give Xiangyun a decree, wouldn't she be able to obediently return to the Liguo Mansion? As long as she goes back, won't all the problems be solved?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu swept away the previous decline, left Zhuangzi in a hurry, and went straight to the Liguo Mansion to discuss with her mother-in-law......

Xiangyun did not go back to the house, but walked around the wall of Zhuangzi, looking at the vegetables and fruits planted, smelling the fresh, mixed with the aroma of fragrant herbs mixed with the smell of earth, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy, as if the body was relaxed a lot.

In this Zhuangzi, in addition to their five master and servants, there are also the steward of the Grange Li Fengying and his wife Su, as well as a few servant women who do rough work, the old lady was afraid that she would not be used to eating the things in the Zhuangzi, so she specially sent a cook and a servant woman who was good at making dim sum, and also sent four guards to live in the gatehouse of Yijin to protect the safety of Xiangyun.

Therefore, although Zhuangzi is small, it is not deserted, and people can be seen walking back and forth at any time.

Because there were men outside, Xiangyun didn't go out, only walked around the yard, she walked for a while, Cui Ping came over and said, "Young lady, lunch is ready, please go and use it!" ”

Xiangyun nodded, turned around and went back to the house.

These days, she is in a bad mood, and even her appetite is not very good, so the diet is lighter, so she ordered the cook to steam a fish, fry a plate of bamboo shoots, mix a plate of cold vegetables, and then have a bowl of Jianlian red date soup, and eat with a bowl of white stem rice.

was eating, suddenly a burst of eager footsteps came, and before the person came in, he heard the Hunjia Su clan in charge of Li shouting in the courtyard: "Young lady is overjoyed, the son has come to see you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiangyun's face changed, what was he doing, didn't she already tell him before leaving, in this life and this life, she and him are incompatible, she will never return to the Liguo Mansion again, isn't her attitude resolute enough, hasn't she let him die?

Xiangyun put down the chopsticks, Cuiping hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, Cuiwi handed over the gargle, Xiangyun pouted unhurriedly, and was wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, the door curtain was opened, and Mozi strode in.

His face was a little pale, probably because the carriage was bumpy on the village road, and his brows were slightly furrowed, and when he saw Xiangyun, his tightly locked brows suddenly relaxed.

His eyes looked straight at her, and he walked up to her, and the two of them stood and the other sat at a table like this, looking at each other without saying a word.

Xiangyun wore an ivory-colored armor cover, a light yellow middle coat, a white Ruyi silk around her waist, a white magnolia Hetian jade hairpin on her head, a pure white pearl bead hairpin, and a pair of pearl earrings on her ears.

People say that if you want to be pretty, three points of filial piety, Xiangyun's plain dress, in Mo Zili's eyes, is many times more beautiful than the ladies and ladies who are full of pearls and silk and satin he have seen!

Mo Zili wore a brown round-necked robe embroidered with dark moire, a carbon ink sash around his waist, crimson pants, and a pair of black thin-soled soft boots on his feet.

Xiangyun's eyes fell from his robe to the crimson pants exposed at the corners of the robe, and he couldn't help frowning, everyone in the Zhuangzi followed her to give Mama Xie filial piety, no one wore brightly colored clothes, and his pants looked not only disrespectful to the deceased, but also a sign of remorse for his actions.

Thinking of this, she withdrew her gaze and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Mo Zili knew that Xiangyun was still angry with him, and he didn't expect her to give him any good face, but in front of his subordinates, he still wanted to save a little face, so he turned to a few girls, glanced at them coldly, and motioned for them to go out.

Cuiwen Cuiwei and the others were originally very afraid of Mo Zili, he always did not smile, did not get angry and self-assured, but since witnessing the tragic death of Mama Xie, several girls have given birth to sadness such as the death of a rabbit and a fox, and the sadness of things, and they all turned fear into strength and resisted his cold and terrifying eyes together!

"You don't have to stare at them, they are all my girls, just listen to me!"

After Xiangyun wiped his mouth, he handed the handkerchief to Cuiping, still sitting there, looking at him coldly, his clear eyes were cold and detached, without a trace of temperature, as if he was looking at a stranger he didn't know!

Mo Zili paused for a moment, but he didn't care too much about the absence of a few girls, he lifted his robe, sat opposite her, and said after sitting down.

"I'm coming to see you!"

"Look at me?"

When Xiangyun heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, and said sarcastically: "Mo Gongzi probably forgot what he said to you when he left the Liguo Mansion, I will never forgive you in this life, the two of us are undying enemies in this life!" ”

Cui Wei made tea, brought it up, put it on the table, and served grapes, pears and other fruits.

However, neither of them looked at each other, only looked at each other, although they were calm on the surface, but behind one pair of calm eyes, there was a monstrous hatred tumbling, and behind the other pair of eyes, there was a deep pain.

Mo Zili looked at the hatred in Xiangyun's eyes, felt very uncomfortable, and said, "It's been seven days, haven't you dissipated your anger yet?" As I said, it was done inadvertently, and I didn't want to kill her! ”

"But you've beaten her to death, and she's still dead!" Xiangyun said, the fist on the table couldn't help but clench, clenched tightly.

Mo Zili looked at the hatred that erupted from her eyes, glanced at her fist again, and said in a low voice: "My unintentional mistake, when are you going to be angry, can you really not forgive me for the sake of a subordinate?" ”

"She's not a subordinate! She is my relative, just like my mother, and even closer than my mother in some way! Xiangyun stood up excitedly, looked at him angrily, wept blood every word, and punished his heart every word.

"As I said, she is the person who has been with me the longest in my life, and she is also the person who loves me the most, accommodates me the most, and treats me the best. When I was bullied, she knew that she couldn't beat people and had to fight with them; And you, as my husband, what have you done for me? On the wedding night, you ran to accompany other women, and when that bad woman woman slandered me, you didn't stand by me, but poured dirty water on me with her and killed my grandmother to scare me. ”

"Mo Zili, do you know that when I knew that Du Wanqing was pregnant with your child, I was dead to you, and I also planned a way out for myself, so how could I be jealous and kill for you? However, I said it over and over again, you just don't believe it, you can't beat me directly, just take my nurse out of anger, beat her to kill chickens and monkeys to show me, but do you know? I'd rather you kill me than my nurse, because in my heart, although the nurse is just a nurse, but it is better than my own mother, I wanted to give her a pension with her, so that she can have a happy 10,000 years, but... You beat me to death... ”

Xiangyun said, tears raining down. Mo Zili listened, crumbling, he didn't know that Xiangyun had already died to him, and she had already arranged her own way back, just because she was dead to him, did she want to leave him?

Xiangyun cried out in pain, tears stained her clothes, she complained: "I know, in your eyes, Mama Xie is a subordinate, if she is killed, she will die, and it will be a big deal to bury her, but do you know, in my heart, she has always been closer than my mother, my dearest grandma was beaten to death by you one battle after another, and when she died, her waist bones were broken, and her skin and flesh turned into mud, she hurt me all my life, and she didn't touch my light, but in the end it ended like this, you say, can I forgive you?" Forgive you, am I still human? ”

She cried, picked up the teacup on the table, and threw it on Mo Zili's face. Mo Zili sat there, didn't hide, let the hot tea pour on his head, slid down his slightly pale cheeks, and got wet.
