"Ah Yuan doesn't know what a good future is, so he only wants to be with his aunt and cousin. But the dignitaries in the palace have all been handed over, how can I be allowed to fight as a weak woman? Daddy is also helpless, who dares to reason with the official? had to obediently enter the palace. Entering the palace and following Pei Sishu to learn the rules for three or two months, I thought that I was only calling for ordinary palace people, but I thought that I only had to wait with peace of mind, if I prayed for heaven or the saint was gracious, there was always a chance to be released from the palace. I never thought that three or two months later, he was sent here, Ah Yuan Fang Xiaowu, who was secretly sent to be the concubine of the Cai Guogong Mansion, if the name is really determined, it will be ...... Is...... I want to see my aunt and cousin again, it's comparable to ascending to the sky, or I haven't met it before fate, and I'm just a stranger......"

Mu Qing sent away the eldest princess of Gaomi, who was happy, and she was in the middle of the day. Seeing that Danniang was still in the side hall, she couldn't help but take her hand and comforted her: "Don't go to your heart, you are in the palace, and you naturally know the style of the eldest princesses." Needless to say, you and I are queens, and we won't be more serious with them. ”

Danniang bent her knees and muttered, "The servant can save it." ”

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and secretly sighed in his heart, a good little lady, who was used as a gun for nothing, was not very interesting after all, if she was willing to leave her hands and not embarrass her, it would be just. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Do you want to go home?" ”

Danniang's eyes widened and she shook her head busily, "Isn't Danniang's home here?" From the moment he left the palace, he was a slave and a maidservant who also had to settle down in Dufu. ”

Mu Qing brushed away the little pity in his heart, and pursed his lips quietly, "It's hard for you." Then he sent her down to rest.

Ah Liu looked up at the sky and silently calculated the hour, "It's about noon, is Qi Niang going to Dongshi for lunch, or is she at home?" ”

Ah Liu asked twice, but Mu Qing did not answer, but saw that her steps were still walking, her eyes fell somewhere in the distance, Ah Liu followed her gaze, and it was Lu Ayuan who walked with a bamboo basket on the verandah in the distance.

"This is really a god from all walks of life. Qi Niang was sick a while ago, she repeatedly begged to see her, so she simply hid her form, and two days ago she also deduced that she was not good and did not want to come out, how could she be better today? Ah Liu glanced at him, his tone sharp and merciless.

"Just according to you, how is Ah Yuan than Danniang?" Mu Qing asked in a low voice.

Aliu thought for a moment. Seeing that Lu Ayuan was about to approach, he hesitated and replied: "Danniang looks weak, and she has such a good look, which is somewhat pitiful." This Ah Yuan is shrewd and secretly has something on her mind, and she doesn't know what she has in mind. Since Danniang is easier to manipulate. ”

Mu Qing snorted lightly and shook his head slowly. In the blink of an eye, Lu Ayuan walked up to her with a smile and saluted in a proper manner. The bamboo basket she carried in the crook of her arm exuded a faint strange fragrance, but because it was covered with cloth, she couldn't see what was inside.

Mu Qing took a deep breath. His face changed slightly. Lu Ayuan didn't seem to notice. He said with a smile: "I heard that today is Madame's birthday, Madame looked at Yuhang, Ayuan did a good thing, and picked a basket of mustard flowers." According to the customs of Jiangnan. Boiled a basket of mustard flowers. I also asked Mrs. to taste it, but there is still a bit of Jiangnan flavor in it. ”

Ah Liu's eyes swept around her twice vigilantly, but she didn't care, with a smile on her face. Smiled very sincerely. The three of them slowly walked towards the main room of the inner courtyard together, Mu Qing held an egg in his hand, leaned under the tip of his nose and sniffed, "Sure enough, there is the breath of Jiangnan, it's hard for you to think so thoroughly." ”

was praised, but he didn't see Ah Yuan happy, but the smile on his face slowly faded, and after walking a few steps, he sighed gloomily, "Madame, have you ever thought about going back to Jiangnan to have a look?" ”

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and followed her words and said: "I have leisure time in the future, and I want to go back." ”

"Ah Yuan is also very homesick every year on his birthday, and I don't know if there is a chance to go back in this life......" She lowered her eyes as she spoke, walked silently, and said nothing.

Mu Qing walked a little ahead, and when he heard this headless sentence, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. Ah Yuan raised his head suddenly, as if he had mustered up the courage, and looked straight into Mu Qing's eyes, not dodging or dodging, the firm hope in his eyes taught Mu Qing to be taken aback, she clearly had something to say to herself. Thinking back to her illness a few years ago, Ah Liu said that she had begged several times to come to serve, and Mu Qing suddenly understood that she must have something urgent, and she was looking for every opportunity to talk to herself in person.

After entering the main room, Ah Yuan put down the basket in his hand, saluted dignifiedly, and repeated the birthday greetings. Mu Qing pointed to the basket beside her and instructed Ah Liu: "This mustard flower egg was originally intended to be eaten by everyone to be beneficial to the birthday star, so you will take out most of it, go to each courtyard to divide it, and leave a few more for Ah Lang to taste." ”

Ah Liu's vision and insight, immediately knew that Mu Qing was going to have a secret conversation with Ah Yuan, so that she went to look at the wind to restrain a group of servants, and did not teach people to listen to the corner, so she was busy at the moment, picked up the basket and went out with the curtains, and took the door with her.

"If you have anything to say, sit down and speak." Mu Qing sat down next to the case where she usually sat and pointed to Ah Yuan. "There is no one else here, and since you have made up your mind to talk to me about this scene, you must believe me, so it doesn't hurt to say it directly."

Looking at Na Yuan again, he didn't dare to sit, he stood in place and hesitated for a long time, closed his eyes and crossed his heart, and fell to his knees with a poof. "Mrs. Mingjian, Ah Yuan didn't dare to deceive, Ah Yuan didn't want to be Du Shangshu's concubine, and begged Mrs. to return to her hometown." As he spoke, he bowed his head straight, touched the ground with a muffled sound, and refused to get up.

Mu Qing's heart was stirred for a while, and he didn't want to be a concubine, Yinghua said the same thing back then, and his voice was still in his ears. Mu Qing secretly sighed and softened his voice, "You get up and talk about the reason." ”

Ah Yuan straightened his back, still kneeling on the ground, and there were already some tears in his eyes. "Mrs. Yu, Ah Yuan is also from a good family, he has no mother since he was a child, and he has followed his aunt, who is also a decent family, and has studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Ah Yuan's aunt and cousin have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and Daddy and Aunt Yuan also said that they would only wait for the time and pass through the door. How do you know, how do you know, last year's stepmother didn't know what the road was, and she wanted to send Ah Yuan to the palace, only saying that she had a good future. ”

"Ah Yuan doesn't know what a good future is, so he only wants to be with his aunt and cousin. But the dignitaries in the palace have all been handed over, how can I be allowed to fight as a weak woman? Daddy is also helpless, who dares to reason with the official? had to obediently enter the palace. Entering the palace and following Pei Sishu to learn the rules for three or two months, I thought that I was only calling for ordinary palace people, but I thought that I only had to wait with peace of mind, if I prayed for heaven or the saint was gracious, there was always a chance to be released from the palace. I never thought that three or two months later, he was sent here, Ah Yuan Fang Xiaowu, who was secretly sent to be the concubine of the Cai Guogong Mansion, if the name is really determined, it will be ...... Is...... I want to see my aunt and cousin again, it's comparable to ascending to the sky, or I haven't met it before fate, and I'm just a stranger......"

As he spoke, Ah Yuan fell to the ground and sobbed again, unable to speak. It's hard to help yourself.

Mu Qing's eyes turned around her a few times, and finally landed on her shoulders that shrugged slightly because of crying, and looked at her fixedly for a moment, seeing that she looked like a ruined boat, she already believed most of it in her heart, but she didn't dare to believe it very much, and she was undecided for a while.

Lu Ayuan cried for a while, gradually calmed down, and wiped the tears on his face, "I also heard the lady's decision to kill in the palace before. Insight and decisiveness. Therefore, in front of his wife, Ah Yuan said bluntly if he could speak, and some words that he could not say for fear of affecting the family would never speak. I knew in my heart that my wife would not believe me. And it's no wonder. After all, the six of us were sent in by the queen. It's just that Ah Yuan has no other way at the moment, but to have the courage to beg Madame. I didn't dare to ask my wife for my identity in vain, but I just wanted to make a mutual deal with my wife. ”

Mu Qing secretly laughed at himself, the things he did in his early years, either for self-preservation, or just for Du Ruxuan's calculations, to this day, it was rumored that he had such a reputation. She frowned and scolded: "You son of a woman is full of nonsense, do you dare to speculate about the intentions of the heavenly family?" ”

"Ah Yuan doesn't dare, Ah Yuan's heart doesn't go to any side, he just wants to march in the middle of the road and retreat." Ah Yuan bowed down again, and his dull voice was mixed with a little crying, but it contained a desperate determination: "Madame believes it or not, Mrs. Yu is just a thought, but Yu Ayuan is the difference between life and death." Now that the Ayuan people are in the house, if I dare to deceive my wife with ulterior motives and lose a servant, it is just a matter of telling the palace a sentence. ”

Mu Qing had no doubt in his heart that such a smart woman, if she hadn't been trapped by love, would never have done such a wanton and decisive thing, which was also moving. She remained silent and asked coldly, "In that case, why don't you tell me what you want to do with me?" But I also have to weigh whether it is worth it or not, and there is no reason for a necessary promise. ”

Ah Yuan straightened up from the ground, his face had relaxed, he took a deep breath, and tried his best to stabilize his tone, "Her Royal Highness the Queen sent me six people here, so why, Ah Yuan can't say, with Madame's mind or have already understood it, please don't ask Madame again." Ah Yuan watched coldly, Du Shangshu's breezy and bright character, and he didn't have any thoughts about women other than his wife, this is the blessing of his wife, and the six of me are just decorations in this mansion, and they are a burden that can't be shaken off. Ah Yuan dared to predict that Mrs. would not be willing to bear this burden, so Ah Yuan served as a dog and horse for Mrs., threw off the burden, and begged Mrs. to release Ah Yuan back to her hometown after the fact, and only reported his illness to the palace. If Mrs. is fulfilled, the great grace and virtue Ayuan will not dare to forget. ”

Mu Qing stared at her with burning eyes for a while, and then she knelt on the ground calmly and resolutely, not dodging or dodging. Suddenly, Mu Qing laughed lightly, got up from his seat, walked up to Ah Yuan, and stretched out his hand to help her, as if Fang Cai's wailing and pleading had never happened. "Your thoughts, I understand, since ancient times, the most stupid is our woman, I hope your aunt and cousin are still waiting for you to return in their hometown, and they won't teach you to fight in vain."

Ah Yuan slowly stood up with the strength on her wrist, the look of sorrow, surprise, and joy on her face was too late to replace, and she didn't care about the numbness of her legs and feet, and she raised her skirt and bowed down again, "Madame, A-Yuan...... Ahara ......"

"Don't be busy thanking, but you also want to see if you have the ability." Mu Qing held her arm and didn't let her bow again, but nodded silently several times in her heart, this woman is thoughtful, bold and not timid, and her words and deeds are clear and clear, which is very rare. If it weren't for her lack of ambition because of love, I don't know what would happen in the future.

This came and went, it had already passed the time of lunch, Aliu sent the cauliflower eggs to the kitchen, and saw that the cook made a hundred-year-old soup quite appropriately, carried two bowls to the main room, and Mu Qing and the two of them ate together with the cauliflower eggs, and the right to deal with the lunch.

Ah Liu listened to Mu Qing briefly talk about Ah Yuan while eating, and couldn't help but stop the chopsticks and frown and asked, "This is to believe her?" In case she has evil intentions, or in order to ask for credit in front of the queen, she deliberately tricks us......"

"Ah Yuan is a smart person, and he has carefully looked at the gains and losses. She also knew in her heart that even without her help, the six of them would have to clear out of the house sooner or later, and she had already voted for me, and she would have the opportunity to ask for something for herself. A first-class clever little lady is much better than I was back then. Mu Qing said with a smile, and for no reason remembered the embarrassment when he was forced to flee from Wu County to Jiangdu in order to avoid Du Yan, and couldn't help but smile for a while.

In the afternoon, Ah Liu urged her to change into a newly made eight-colored Hunan long skirt, pressed a white shirt with dark curly grass patterns, and recombed her hair in a bun, so that she could go to Dongshi to go to Du Ruhui's appointment. When combing his hair, he suddenly heard Ah Liu let out a low "ah", and the hand holding the silver grate was half-hanging above Mu Qing's head.

"What's so alarming?" Mu Qing glanced at her from the bronze mirror, and saw a look of disbelief on her face, mixed with a little sadness.

"Qi Niang is only thirty and two today, and she already has gray hair." Ah Liu gently and skillfully picked out a strand of hair from the top of Mu Qing's head and held it in the palm of his hand, "But you want to pull it out?" ”

Mu Qingwei nodded, thinking that it didn't mean much, and just about to stop it, Ah Liu had quickly uprooted it and carefully placed it on the dressing table in front of her.

Mu Qing looked down, it was indeed a snow-white hair, slender and long, as white as snow, lying silently on the dark dressing table, it seemed to emit a faint cold light, which was particularly eye-catching, she raised her arm to brush off the white hair casually, "A white hair, who doesn't give birth?" There will always be a day when the frost will be full. Although the words are weak, after all, there is still an ordinary woman's heart, and she can't help but sigh faintly that Huafa was born early and is easy to grow old.

This thin sorrow did not dissipate until she saw Du Ruhui in the compartment of Kang Saburo's wine shop. Even Kang Saburo shook his curly beard slightly, and he talked about his experience in the Western Regions, but he couldn't attract her wholeheartedly.

In the twilight, he resigned from Kang Saburo, Du Ruhui took her back to the workshop, and on the way back, she couldn't help but ask her what was on her mind, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and replied in a muffled voice that he had found the first trace of gray hair.

Du Ruhui didn't feel funny, but she couldn't comfort her, so she had to coax her: "Look at the white hair on my head, it is also more than one day, even if you also have white hair, from today onwards, we will be regarded as 'white heads will not leave'." ”

Mu Qing sneered and slapped him on the chest, "It's too late, that white hair has taught me to pull it out." ”

When he was about to enter the door, Du Ruhui suddenly said: "There is a matter, I didn't want to tell you today, seeing that you are always trapped by a white hair, I simply told you about it." ”

"What?"

"Du Yan came back, and the Holy Lord ordered someone to take him back from Wangzhou, sealed the Duke of Anji County, and gave him food and food to 400 households." Du Ruhui said while glancing at Mu Qing's face.

She snorted coldly: "It has nothing to do with me, at most, it is to ask him for a family feud on behalf of He Suizhao, but how can he count the section where he murdered your eldest brother and younger brother?" ”

"What else is there to calculate?" Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and said calmly: "The title is a gift, but it is just to give him dignity and make him live in peace." He had already broken his body in Netzhou, and the imperial doctor said that looking at this situation, he was afraid that he would not last for a year. Bringing back to Beijing is just a matter of saying that the sage pushes the boat with his hands, and he doesn't teach the meritorious old ministers to be cold. ”

Mu Qing sighed silently, leaned on Du Ruhui's lap and fiddled with the gold-threaded fish bag around his waist in a daze, and focused on stroking the small red gold fish talisman in the fish bag that symbolized his illustrious power, and after a while, Fang raised his head and said: "He is rampant in front of Wang Shichong, my father wants to send me to him for glory, he and Erniang killed me and lost my child in Jincheng, and slandered your eldest brother and imprisoned your younger brother in Luoyang, but turned his face but was plotted by you to be trapped in the wilderness of Netzhou for several years, these grievances and grievances are like yesterday, and those people are gone in a blink of an eye, It can be seen that most of the entanglements in the world are illusions, and in the end it is a big dream. I only think that the time you have with me is real. ”

Du Ruhui held her hand and withdrew the goldfish talisman in her hand, "Wait, Mu Qing, wait, it's going to be soon." (To be continued.) )

ps: The fish charm was used in the Tang Dynasty to verify the identity of officials above the fifth grade, divided into two halves, the left charm was placed in the inner court, the right charm was carried with you, and the fish charm had the name and official position of the official, and the two halves were strictly combined to verify the identity. The big bureaucrats above the third rank are purple robes and gold bags with goldfish charms, and silver bags below the third rank and above the fifth rank with silver or bronze fish charms.

In the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian changed the fish charm to the turtle symbol, because Wu Zetian's surname was Wu, alluding to "Xuanwu", which is a turtle. Now the so-called "golden beetle son-in-law" is from that time, "marrying a golden beetle son-in-law for no reason", referring to marrying a big official who wears a golden turtle charm above three grades.
