Twilight gathered from all directions, and a darker and thicker color gradually filled the entire sky. A galloping carriage came from Suzaku Avenue in the distance. As soon as the gate of Mingde Gate was closed, the Marquis of Wu, who was guarding the city, stared at the galloping carriage, and was about to step forward to drink and stop, but the driver stopped the car steadily. The driver stretched out a hand and spread it out in front of Wu Hou, who stared at it through the dim sky, and was so shocked that he hurriedly took two steps back, pointing to the two soldiers behind him and shouting: "Haven't you seen the car of the Lai Guo Mansion before!" Don't open the door yet! ”

The carriage drove out of the city gate, Mu Qing sat in the car with Feng Ling in his arms, and clearly heard the dull closing sound of the city gate behind him, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and he couldn't tell the feeling, and suddenly felt as if he had left something in the city.

The body leaned back slightly, about to a high place in the terrain, Mu Qing got up and got out of the car and called Ada to stop the car. She got out of the car and stood on a slightly higher earthen platform, looking at Chang'an City behind the car from afar. The city under the thick twilight, the city walls are four, like a giant beast lying on its stomach, shining with a dark red light Daxing Palace is like the tongue of a giant beast, expanding very much, as if to swallow everything. But compared with the towering mountains outside the city, the red mouth seemed so weak.

The majestic city shook slightly in her eyes. She had had the great riches of the city, the painful death, the peaceful days, the days of suspicion and suspense, but all these things made her feel unreal, as if she had a great dream, and when she opened her eyes, everything quickly dissipated.

A small head poked out of the curtain and asked in a childish voice, "What is my aunt looking at?" ”

Mu Qing came back to his senses and nodded to Ada, "Let's go." Turning around and smiling, he returned to the car, grabbed Feng Ling's two fleshy little palms, "Look at the places we used to live in, and the people we used to know." ”

Feng Ling couldn't understand what she was talking about, so she tilted her little head and thought for a moment, and suddenly asked out of tune: "In the past, they always said that Feng Ling's aunt was long gone. Is my aunt going to take Feng Ling to find my mother? ”

Ah Liu and Mu Qing were stunned together, and even Shiro, who was sitting next to Ah Liu, blinked at Mu Qing. Mu Qing lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were full of love, "They said nothing." I am your mother. Mu Qing looked at the pair of apricot eyes full of surprise. pinched her little nose and pointed at Shiro and Aliu, "This is your brother and Aunt Liu." ”

The little man didn't quite understand, and his sparkling eyes were stunned for a moment, and he taught the carriage to jolt for a while. fell asleep on Mu Qing's knees. Ah Liu's face was full of suspicion, and he stopped talking. Mu Qing stroked her soft hair and said lightly: "There is no princess Runan in the world, and there is no Fengling of the Li family, from today on, she is my child." ”

The carriage had been galloping west all night, and now the world was peaceful, and the night was peaceful. At dawn the next day, I finally drove into a small town and made another cup of tea. Entered an irregular alley, and slowly stopped in front of a small house.

Mu Qing couldn't wait for Ada to place the pedal and jumped out of the car first. The wooden door of the house creaked, which made her heart tighten suddenly, but it was Hu Jialang and Du Qi who came out of the door one after another, bowing down and saluting her, "Lady." ”

Mu Qing couldn't hear it, stretched out his hand to brush away the two people in front of him, and walked towards the courtyard. Her gaze was locked on the door of the main house in the courtyard, which was not very large. It was only about ten steps from the gate to the main house, but these ten or so steps seemed to be impossible to walk forever. The door of the main house was pushed open unexpectedly, and Mu Qing stopped and didn't know how to take another step forward.

A person walked out of the door steadily, a plain robe of stone blue. Lined his posture upright, he stood with his hands in his hands, and the warm smile on his face was like the first sunshine rising in the golden autumn morning, which spilled into her heart.

"Mu Qing." His deep, deep voice woke her from her daze, and she didn't care whether the people behind her were watching or not, and ran towards him. threw himself into his arms, his trembling shoulders were filled with joy or tears. The strong and powerful beating sound in his chest, the warm breath that reassured her, made her let out a long sigh from the bottom of her heart, and she was so satisfied that she got carried away.

Suddenly, she raised her head from Du Ruhui's chest, with guilt on her face, and grabbed his wrist with one hand, "I'm all happy and confused, let me take a look." Her fingers clasped his wrist for a long time, and the surprise on her face couldn't be suppressed anymore, "Zhao Cangguo is a strange person." Looking at his complexion again, it was completely different from the dark yellow and haggard appearance of a few months ago, and now he was fully rejuvenated, and the brilliance in his eyes was also revealed.

"After a few months of recuperation, Dr. Zhao said that I was fine, and I left two days ago." Du Ruhui held her hand and smiled.

"Daddy!" Shiro, who had just gotten out of the car, was so surprised that he didn't bother to lift his shoes, and rushed to Du Ruhui in a few steps, "Grandma doesn't deceive me, Daddy is really fine!" ”

"When did Grandma trick you?" Mu Qing glanced at him with disgust, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and cheeks with a smile.

Ada and Ah Liu stepped forward hesitantly, Ah Liu's eyes were already red and swollen like peaches, and they couldn't speak, so they just took Mu Qing's hand and whimpered. Ada has always been clumsy, and he doesn't know what to say in this situation, so he will only wipe his tears with his head bored.

Du Ruhui patted him on the shoulder, "You don't want to be like this, Ayan is now an official, and he has settled a house in Changchang, you should have been with him, this is human nature." He has been on a war for many years to come, and if you go with us, will you teach him to come back and face an empty house alone? ”

Ah Liuqiang suppressed his crying, dragged Mu Qing's hand, and cried: "You and I have been together since childhood, and no matter how many dangers and hardships have never been separated, this is what you want, this is going to be ......" The words could not be said again.

"You've always been stupid." Mu Qing wiped his eyes, sniffed and said, "Isn't it possible that I will never see you again in the future?" After a few years, we will be stable, and we will see each other at a time. ”

Du Qi and Hu Dalang persuaded for a long time, this place is not far from Chang'an City, and it is not appropriate to stay for a long time. Ah Liu was ruthless, put down Mu Qing's hand, turned back and ran into the carriage, Ada didn't dare to stay longer, bowed deeply to Du Ruhui and Mu Qing in front of the car, shook the reins and drove away.

Duzi pulled out a few horses from the backyard, and the bags were prepared a few days in advance, so he could put them on and go. Hu Dalang called inward a few times, and got a crisp response. He replied to Mu Qing: "This journey is inevitably hard, and it is always unreliable to buy a maid again, so I will temporarily let the insiders take care of the lady and the little lady." Although it is not as meticulous and thoughtful as Liu Niangzi, it can help in the end. ”

The lady of the Hu family turned out of the other room with a smile, and saw that the little girl led by Mu Qing was pink and lovely, and she didn't know that she was originally a golden branch and jade leaf. Laughing and teasing, "The little lady is born well, can she be a ** name?" ”

Mu Qing handed the child into the hands of the Hu family lady and nodded her little forehead, which was as white and smooth as the full moon. "This is my young daughter, named 'Wind Spirit'."

At the moment, everything was ready, Hu Dalang drove, the Hu family lady got into the car with the wind spirit, and Du Qi and Shiro drove another car full of bags and boxes behind. Mu Qing led a horse. and Du Ruhui walked side by side in front.

After leaving the small town and stepping on the loess official road outside the city, Mu Qingfang relieved himself from the parting with Ah Liu, and then remembered to ask where to go.

Du Ruhui said: "I promised you that I would accompany you back to Yuhang, and I should go to Jiangnan." It's just that when you first left Chang'an, it is inevitable that there will be some good things who want to find out where you are going, so Yuhang can't go back for the time being. The house in Luoyang was sold by Du Qi a month ago, and we also have some money to have a good visit. Where do you want to go? And he went there. ”

Mu Qing thought sideways for a while, "I want to go to more than one or two places, do you have enough money?" ”

Du Ruhui laughed loudly, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"I want to go to Jincheng, I haven't paid a good tribute to my brother for many years, and I should teach the children to recognize their uncle and aunt. Out of Jincheng, we can go to Yinshan, you have been striving for a long time, and now Yinshan has been flattened, it is good to look. Have you ever seen the Great Wall of Han outside the chicken and deer plug? It's spectacular. The road is also worth seeing. Mu Qing counted with his fingers on the horse.

"Where else do you want to go?" Du Ruhui smiled and looked at her side face, radiant in the rising sun.

"There is also the border of the Western Regions, Guazhou and Shazhou mentioned by Kang Saburo, it is said that there is a Dunhuang City in Nasha Prefecture, and there are countless Buddhist caves and grottoes outside the city. Spectacular. Merchants from all walks of life gather in Dunhuang City, and there are many shops in the market. Taking advantage of the trend, let's also explore what kind of trading can be done to make a living. In this way, there is always a year or two of wandering. ”

"You want to do business again?" Du Ruyan said, "Do we still have the capital now?" ”

Mu Qing smiled. Zhengse said: "Jiangdu Qiyueju is still there, and the golden cakes in the treasury of Qiyueju, I haven't given them all, and I still keep some privately, but now it seems that I have taken precautions." It's just that Liu Ao is old, I'm afraid he can't move. ”

Du Ruhui silently held the reins and walked forward for a while, noncommittal. Mu Qing asked twice in a row, "What do you say?" ”

"Mu Qing." Du Ruhui was silent for a long time, and suddenly called softly. "Do you have an important matter before you do business?"

"What?" His look and tone taught her to be nervous for no reason.

"Your marriage to me."

Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, his cheeks immediately turned red, and he muttered in a low voice, "Whatever you want." It's just you, where did you come from now? ”

"I don't have a register, but you do. You were originally the adopted daughter of the Gu family in Yuhang, and you were also the concubine of the Gu family in Wu County, after many years of war, the two mansions were scattered, who you are, there is no way to find out. When you return to Yuhang, you are the master of the Gu Mansion, so you should naturally recreate the book of real books and revitalize the Gu family to comfort the spirit of the teacher. Du Ruhui said without hesitation. Without waiting for Mu Qing to respond, he added, "I'll join the Gu Mansion, okay?" He clearly said joking words, but his tone couldn't be more serious.

Mu Qing didn't know how to reply to him, shook off the reins of the horse, ran alone for a long time, and chased him with a low smile behind him, "The teacher must be happy......

……

Six years have passed, this year's autumn wind is not very stable, and Mu Qing has a little nostalgia, always recalling the past of Chang'an City for no reason, especially when she sits alone in the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, bit by bit, details, clear and abnormal. She shook her head, deliberately trying to shake off the faces of the people in her head.

The copper cho on the small red clay stove in her hand was steaming, she poured some hot tea into the tea cup, and before she could hold it, there was the sound of footsteps on the wooden ladder, and she turned her head to look, it was Shiro who hurried up and ran for a while, and the forehead and sideburns were sweating.

Mu Qing turned his hand and handed the hot tea in front of him to him, "What's the matter, if you are in such a hurry, take a sip of tea first, and then tell me about it." He poured another cup of tea.

Shiro leaned his neck and drank the tea, leaned over to his mother's side and said, "Mother, there is news from Chang'an, the whole country is mourning, and it will be transmitted to our Jiangnan Province about tomorrow." ”

Mu Qing's hand holding the cup shook slightly, and he spilled a few drops of tea soup on the table. "A national funeral?"

"The queen is gone." Shiro lowered his voice a little, "I'm sick and wheezing, and I'm old." It is said that the reeds in the Lizheng Hall this autumn fluttered early, and the queen and the saints watched together, causing the old diseases to ......"

"And one more ...... Isn't the Wind Spirit there? Shiro hesitated for a moment, looked behind Mu Qing, and made sure that the young sister who was always pestering her mother on weekdays was not on her side, so he calmed down and said: "The sage opened the tomb of Princess Runan in Zhaoling, which is about a clothed mound. After so many years, I think so, I have lost this heart. ”

Mu Qing let out an "oh" in a daze, as if he was not surprised, and only asked casually: "Did you report it to your father?" ”。

"No, I didn't." Shiro shook his head, "Let's go." As he spoke, he staggered downstairs, through the courtyard where the bright yellow cinnamon was spread all over the ground, and went to the Yizhu Courtyard to find his father.

Mu Qing sat alone for a long time, unconsciously touched his cheeks and smiled slightly, muttering to himself, "Luhua is still beautiful?" Shaking her head again, the old things that had entangled her for many days in her mind suddenly dispersed. (End of the book) (To be continued.) )
