Looking at the past, Chang'an City is still like a giant beast lying on its stomach with its mouth open, the sky is dark, the dark clouds are covering, and a heavy snow is brewing in the sky over the entire Chang'an, and the cold and cold of the bones are like the winter day in the south of the Yangtze River.

Du Ruhui lifted the curtain, looked around, and before retracting into the car, he suddenly stretched out his arm and pointed to the east, "Go to Yanping Gate and enter the city." The coachman nodded in response, and hurriedly adjusted his direction.

"Isn't Jinguangmen closer? Why do you have to take a detour? Mu Qing rubbed her eyes in confusion, these days of grief and hard work, almost all the way from Jincheng back to Chang'an, now about to enter the city, this way full of sleep made her relieved, the closer to the city gate, the more irrepressibly miss Xiao Shilang, who was separated for half a year after being born two months ago, and I can't wait to step into the house in the next moment.

Du Ruhui smiled silently, "If there is something, it is better to teach you to see it." ”

Mu Qing's slander and doubts did not stop until in front of Yanping's door. Wrapped in a thick and heavy black hair, she stepped down from the car step by step, and stepped forward step by step, her eyes were always firmly fixed on the rotting corpse hanging from the city gate, and her expression was not at all like the fear and panic when she entered the gate of the Eastern Capital a few years ago and saw Yang Xuan's corpse of the chaotic party.

The body had been hanging for about a long time, and under closer inspection, the white bones of the forest had been exposed in several places, and the face had long been indistinguishable, most of which were hidden in the unkempt and withered hair, and the withered grass-like hair still swayed in the wind from time to time.

There is no need for people around her to tell her, she also knows who the hanging person is, it is Xue Rengao, who was escorted back to Beijing by the King of Qin and was captured in front of the emperor. Mu Qing's heart was calm, only to feel that a large vacancy in her heart was being filled little by little, she gritted her teeth, sneered sadly, and cut her flesh and bones? Then it depends on who has the best means.

"Xue Rengao, Hengzhi is a death, so I took the opportunity to ask the King of Qin for a favor, and slightly repay the suffering of Brother Yu." Du Ruyan walked behind her silently and put one hand on her shoulder, "Hang it to show the public until the New Year's Festival, can you do it?" ”

Mu Qing nodded, "It's not all for my brother, this guy is full of evil, and the methods of cruelty really teach people to be frightened, he should have been taught to repay it, but now it can be regarded as forgiveness." ”

Du Ruhui's eyes darkened, and he sighed, "I just taught that wicked woman to run away, and there is no trace of her." ”

"There is a time to meet." Mu Qing's eyebrows were full of expression, almost chilling the gloomy and snowy weather.

……

The carriage entered Yongxingfang and drove straight to the corner gate at the back of the house, so no one in the house knew that Ah Lang Niang had returned home. Mu Qing got out of the carriage and didn't care about the people next to him, and only ran to the main house in the backyard. Before entering the courtyard, the sound of giggling and immature laughter came to his face, mixed with Ah Liu's nagging and the persuasion of the nursing mother.

Mu Qing couldn't help but pause on the verandah, the plainness and tranquility of the courtyard made her hesitate, and she couldn't help but suspect that she was in a dream.

"Sister." A crisp call pulled her back from her hesitation, "It's back." Yinghua took Fu Yanyan with one hand, walked quickly from the courtyard to the verandah, and the small wooden sword in Fu Tanyan's hand was abandoned on the ground with a "snap", and taught Yinghua to stumble under his feet.

Ah Liu rushed out of the house with an eight- or nine-month-old baby in her arms, and the nurse who followed behind her hurriedly opened her arms to protect her, "Slow down, Mrs. Liu slow down." ”

These Mu Qing didn't seem to see it, her eyes were only on the child in Ah Liu's arms, eagerly going to the verandah, before anyone arrived, her hands had been stretched out, "Shiro, Shiro is okay?" Teach your mother to hug. ”

Aliu smiled happily and hurriedly sent Shiro into her arms. The little pink head was raised in front of Mu Qing, and he looked at her eyes seriously, his eyeballs turned around her face several times, and then stretched out his chubby little hand, touched her face curiously, and suddenly grinned and "giggled".

"I still know my mother." Du Ruhui laughed behind her, and the joy in her tone couldn't be hidden.

Shiro listened to the voice, turned his head, and looked back from Mu Qing's shoulder, but his grinning little face stiffened, and he stopped smiling and looked at him nervously.

Ah Liu covered his belly with a smile, "It's so small, but I also know that when I see Daddy, I have to be more solemn, it's not a good rule to do." ”

While talking and laughing, a few snowflakes fell from the sky, and in an instant, they formed large snowflakes, which filled the entire heaven and earth. Yinghua spread out his palm and took a few snowflakes, and frowned, "It's snowing, sister, let's go into the house and talk, Shiro is still young, don't be cold." ”

Mu Qing still had in her mind the first time she saw the appearance of excitement when she first arrived in the Eastern Capital, the bright red hair turned up and down with her jumping, ran into the house with a cold wind, spread out her palms to teach her to see the snowflakes in her hands, and in a blink of an eye, it grew into such a bright and moving place.

The years were hard, but they also slipped through the palm of her hand unconsciously, Mu Qing said to herself from the bottom of her heart, just bear with it, just a little bit, and the peaceful and quiet days can completely belong to her.

A heavy snowfall, it fell for three or four days before stopping, before the snow melted, there were people in the market who came out to walk around, Yongxing Fang in many high-door households, and the servants and maids who bought and prepared for the New Year's gift in the square for a few days in a row, came from all over the country to pay the tax rent on the grange, and pushed a cart of wild things to please the lord's family, in an endless stream.

Du Mansion is still cold in front of the door, Du Ruhui's current identity as King Qin's staff, but not idle, the closer to the New Year's Festival, the more busy his feet do not touch the ground, it stands to reason that he can return to the house every day when he falls, but Mu Qing will not be able to see him in the house until it is completely dark. When I asked him how many times he was busy with something, he always reasoned that the New Year was approaching, and it was inevitable that there would be many things. Mu Qing muttered in his heart, asking him to work hard for the etiquette in the New Year, which was definitely not the style of King Qin.

He didn't want to say it, Mu Qing didn't want to ask again, and she also had her own things to do, and Shiro was pestering people, so she couldn't take care of the side for a while.

The day before the new year, Kang Saburo sent someone to spread the word, just returned from Xizhou, brought back a lot of rare objects, and got a new hundred good wines on the altar and some good wines that are rare in Guanzhong in recent years, and specially invited Mu Qing to taste fresh.

Mu Qing thought that the New Year's Festival was just around the corner, and after tossing for half a year, he had just stopped for a few days, and he had forgotten about the exchange of gifts between various families and dependents in the middle of the year. Since Kang Saburo said that there are rare objects, he can solve this urgent need for her.

It's just a trip to Dongshi, Mu Qing didn't deliberately dress up, wearing the most uneye-catching homely apricot skirt, randomly picking a collar of pine green diamond pattern clip curtains, and then simply curling a single screw bun, only with the golden hairpin with double stacks of treasure flowers, and then he was going out.

Somehow, Xiao Shiro in the nurse's arms seemed to know that his mother was going out, and he kicked his bulging calves vigorously to reach her. Mu Qing stretched out his hand to hug him, and when he got it, he couldn't let go of his hand. She thought that Kang Saburo was not a stranger, and there was nothing wrong with taking Shiro with her, so she hugged him and called Aliu to go out with her.

Chang'an has not had a good New Year's Day for many years. If it is said that when Tang Guogong first entered the city last year, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, he barely supported a decent New Year's Festival, then this year is the time when the people of Chang'an sincerely want to live this year. The East Market coincides with the noon market, with the family emblem of the elegant carriage, the ordinary dark blue carriage, on the avenue, almost never stop for a moment, three or five complete people in the forest of shops shuttle, the shops have put out the best season, burst rods, cypress leaf branches, the peach wood of the spring to ward off evil spirits, for the king of the stove gum tooth ...... It is available in a variety of colors.

The carriage stopped in front of the largest liquor store in the East City, Mu Qing got off the car carefully with Shiro in his arms, and immediately someone ran out of the liquor shop, leading the way diligently, the handymen in the liquor store are still mostly Hu, and the orchids are still smiling like flowers, Yin Yin persuades customers, except that the store is several times larger, and the ground is replaced by ordinary glossy blue bricks with exquisite treasure flower carved bricks, which are roughly similar to the shop in Dongdu.

The little servant greeted them upstairs, led them straight to a compartment, moved the door of the compartment with a smile, bowed down to Mu Qing, and said, "Mrs. Gu, please." ”

Kang Saburo was already inside, and when he heard the voice of the little girl, he hurriedly got up to greet him, "Qi Niang is here." ”

The person sitting in another window in the compartment stood up, turned around, and looked at her eagerly, his eyes wandering wantonly on her face and body, as if he could see any slight changes in her, and did not care about her slightly frowning brow, until she held the child, owed a little debt, and said "General He Sui is well" in a thoughtful manner, and then he looked away in a trance.

In a blink of an eye, she saw the child she was holding in her arms, and her eyes were stunned. Kang Saburo was so transparent, he stepped forward and took the child in Mu Qing's hand with a smile on his face, "Xiao Shilang, I haven't seen you for a few days, teach me to hug it." After holding his hand, he weighed it and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, I've grown up a little more, and I'm a good boy." ”

He Suizhao woke up like a dream, stretched out his hand and touched his chest, and said, "I should have prepared a congratulatory gift, but I came in a hurry...... Another day, you should come to the door to congratulate, and Qi Niang should not be too late. As he spoke, he bent his eyes and smiled, the peach blossoms were fully revealed, and the waves did not change.

"How dare you disturb General He Sui." Mu Qing still had some nostalgia for the old people meeting one moment, and the next moment he taught him to break up this frivolous description, only dropped a sentence coldly, and turned to Kang Saburo to greet him.

He Suizhao was not sticky, and happily raised a small wine jar in his hand towards Kang Saburo, "Fine wine is rare, thank you San Lang for your generous gift, and I will resign." After saying that, he arched his hand at Mu Qingyi, wanting to say something, but he didn't say a word, his hands hung in the air with his stagnant eyes, and he nodded to himself, and turned to leave.

Mu Qing's heart was relieved, and he was finally able to concentrate on choosing her rituals.

Choosing all kinds of strange objects in his hands, listening to the interesting stories of Kang Saburo on the way to Xizhou this time, it was very pleasant.

"Qi Niang, there is a strange incident, I don't know if Brother Du has mentioned it." Kangzaburo remembered something, and suddenly mentioned, "On the way back from this experience, I heard a lawsuit in the palace and said that it was ...... Someone in the DPRK and the central government caused a murder in order to occupy the land...... Because of his power in the court, this matter was suppressed vividly. ”

Mu Qing was stunned, put down a glass cup engraved with grass patterns in his hand, and looked up at him in surprise, "The fields are divided, and they have their own systems to follow, and then it is because of the holy reward, then there is also an edict to follow, where did the circle come from, not to mention that there was a human life, who is so bold?" ”

Kang Saburo hesitated for a moment, and with caution, he replied very quickly: "It is rumored that it is Concubine Yin De's father. ”

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, didn't say any more, chatted with him again, packed up the selected items, instructed Ah Liu to settle the money, said goodbye to Kang Saburo, and hurried back to the house with Shiro. R1152
