There is a silo in the south and climbs the north stone (1)

In the blink of an eye, Gu Biao has been sick for more than a month, and during the Qingming Festival, the ancestors of the He clan were sacrificed, and the rituals were also done a few times, but they were still not good, and they woke up several times a day, but most of them were drowsy. Da Lang and Ji Lang set up a room in the east wing of the courtyard, and each brought bedding and clothes from the house, and kept watch day and night. During this period, Mu Qing also begged several times to set up a couch outside Gu Biao's bedroom and serve at any time to fulfill his filial piety. The two brothers both roughly refused on the grounds that they were not in a proper manner, only because Yu Li came to beg, saying that he was busy with official affairs and could not fulfill his filial piety in front of the bed every day, and he had to bother Qi Niang to fulfill this heart for him, so he allowed her to visit several times a day and fed the medicine with his own hands.

Mrs. Lu visited once, Gu Biao did not wake up, Mrs. Lu sent away the people who served the couch, and sat alone in the room opposite Gu Biao for more than two hours, wiping her tears for a while, laughing softly, whispering softly, sighing faintly, and crying again, and when she came out of the house, her eyes were sunken, and her eyes were as cloudy and lifeless as Gu Biao on the sickbed. When he returned to his room, he was getting worse day by day, and gradually showed a state of twilight.

After a while, Da Lang left suddenly for a few days, Mu Qingben had no intention of finding out where he went, and faintly heard those people who were doing things under his family privately saying that there was an envoy from the Xue family in the north who came to visit. said that this Xue family, dominating one side, has family wealth, although he has no important position, but the long history of the northern states is all respectful, even the one in the eastern capital, he can't help it.

One day, Mu Qing fed Gu Biao medicine, guarded for a while, Erlang urged, and returned to Yizhu Courtyard as usual. Walking to the gate of the courtyard, a fragrance wafted leisurely, and when I looked up, the vine that was wrapped around the gate of the courtyard was half opened. The wind blew, the pink and purple flower strings danced with the wind, Mu Qing was stunned for a while, sighed from the bottom of his heart, and said casually: "The spring is full of green, and the vine is fragrant and light Ziyong." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a person coming out from behind the vine shelf, looking at her with a smile, "I don't want to work hard for days, Qi Niang's heart is still full of spring." ”

Mu Qing was busy saluting, but Du Ruhui didn't allow it, "There's no need to make so many false salutes from now on." ”

Seeing that between his hair, shoulders, and the folds of his clothes, some pink, purple, and white vine petals fell, and he should have stood under the vine for a while. Mu Qingbian let him into the small courtyard and said angrily: "The little girls in this courtyard are not sensible, why are they so confused, let Mr. Du stand here for a long time, and he doesn't know how to sit in." ”

"It's okay, Qi Niang's vine is so wonderful, and it's being appreciated." Saying that, the two went to sit together in the pavilion in the small bamboo forest.

Because he was really depressed and worried for several days, the pavilion was secluded, and the bamboo fragrance was bursting, Mu Qing couldn't help but reveal his sincere words. "If so, if Daddy can't get better, what is Mr. Du's plan?"

Du Ruhui didn't answer, only asked: "If that's the case, what does Qi Niang plan?" ”

Mu Qing shook his head and lowered his eyes. So far, she really doesn't know what to do in the future, "Come to think of it, it's hopeless to continue to stay in the house, and the two brothers don't treat me like family, and I don't know why." ”

"After all, I have not entered the genealogy of the Yuhang Gu family, the two Ah Lang of the Gu family have always been famous, and they are very polite, and they don't want to give people any handles, so they will not regard Qi Niang as their own sister, nor will they take the initiative to include Qi Niang in the genealogy, after all, they don't want to have a daughter in the family to get a share of the family wealth." Du Ruhui said casually.

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Yes, that's exactly why." It's just human nature. In this case, Qi Niang can only leave here. ”

Du Ruhui chased after him and asked, "Are you really going to Pingliang County?" ”

"It's what Daddy and Auntie meant, but it's not what I want. Since I was a child, I have been treated as a brother by Brother Yu of Da Qi Niang, and I don't want to mistake him, I should blame me for this matter, so I didn't dare to say it to him today. After thinking about it, Mu Qing said again, "Even if I have nowhere to go this time, I can't go with him, I have no intention, and I can't mistake him again." I just don't know what to say to understand with him. After a few more sighs, Mu Qing suddenly thought of Du Ruhui and asked, "What about Mr. Du?" What are you going to do? ”

Du Ruhui said: "Mr. Gu originally recommended me to vote for Tang Guogong, and now Li Chengcheng is serving as the guard lieutenant Shaoqing in the Eastern Capital, if it weren't for Mr. Gu's sudden illness, I should have left for the Eastern Capital at this time." ”

Mu Qing stood up, picked up a few bamboo leaves, looked at them intently, and turned around and said, "Mr. Du, look at the phoenix tail bamboo in my courtyard, they are all blooming this spring. There is a cloud in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": bamboo changes roots in sixty years, and the roots will give birth to flowers, and the flowers will bear fruit, and the fruits will die. Xu even understands these bamboos, and Qi Niang is afraid that she will not be able to stay here. ”

"Solid and resurrected, have you ever thought about it? Or there is another one out. "If Gu Biao is unable to return to the sky, and he has already discovered that she has no intention of staying in the Gu Mansion anymore, then when he goes to vote for Tang Guogong, why not take her away with him? Du Ruhui couldn't help but have a thought that surprised him, and in a flash, he secretly scolded himself in his heart for being confused. Knowing that she will be fluctuating in the future, how can she be affected by doing things with her own life? And why did he bring this weak and beautiful person like petals into his life that would be bloody?

I was ashamed when I heard that at the other end of the path outside the pavilion, someone was calling Qi Niang. "It's Aliu." Mu Qing walked outside the pavilion and raised his hand to answer, Ah Liu ran along the path and said angrily: "The Xue family, the Xue family in the north, came to take care of his family, and it was Erniang who begged." ”

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the news conclusive?" Since Erniang has such thoughts about Senior Brother Yu, how can she let her father answer this kiss? ”

Ah Liu relieved himself, and saw that the person sitting in the pavilion was Du Ruhui, knowing that he was close to Mu Qing, so he did not shy away from taboos, and replied to Mu Qing while bowing hastily: "Yes." What Da Lang means, right now that the family is uneven, it's just a happy event, rush it. Now that the Geng post has been changed, the eight characters of Xue Dalang and Erniang have worshiped the ancestors, and they are pressed under the incense case of the Bodhisattva in the family temple. The Xue family was so magnificent, they picked up eight big nanmu boxes from the north and entered the city mightily. ”

Mu Qing thought to himself that this Xue family was really domineering, "Even Na Zheng has been brought here, looking at the situation, it is necessary to marry a Gu family's mother." I don't know why Xue Gong insisted on marrying the Gu family. ”

Du Ruhan said with a smile: "Qi Niang is raised in the deep boudoir, and I don't know that the Gu family is a Jiangnan family, although Mr. Gu and the two respected brothers do not follow the official career, but their protégés are widely spread all over the world, or they are in important positions, so it is conceivable that the Gu family has a deep influence in the south." With the relationship between the Gu family, Xue Ju is like a tiger with wings, and I am afraid that no one can stop him in the northwest. ”

Seeing that she didn't know anything about the Xue family, Du Ruhui told her about picking up a few things about the Xue family, and Mu Qingfang knew that the Xue family was far away in Jincheng, Lanzhou, and the hiring of Erniang this time was a continuation of the string. His family's eldest man's name is Rengao, there is benevolence in the name, but there is no half in his heart, he is tyrannical and impermanent, domineering, the previous wife came from the Li family of Zhao County, said that he died of a violent illness, and at that time, the maid who was married by the Li family fled back to the Li family, crying that her mother was really unbearable Xue Rengao's violence and hanged herself. But he didn't want Xue Rengao to send someone, saying that he wanted to return to the maid who had fled, and brought the maid back from Li's house, cut off her tongue and ears alive, and threw her in the wilderness, not allowing anyone to save her. Since then, whether at home or outside, even if there are people who know the truth, they dare not discuss it.

Although he was at odds with Erniang, Mu Qing was also a little unbearable at this time, "How could Brother respond to such a family?" It was the elder brother who agreed, and Erniang had Senior Brother Yu in her heart, so she refused to go. I just sent it, if she was as easy to handle as her mother, I was afraid that she would be much stronger, and how would she make a living if she went there. ”

Du Ruhui didn't think so, "Qi Niang doesn't have to be merciful, I was worried that Qi Niang has not been included in the genealogy so far, so that she is in a dilemma, but now it seems that this is a good thing." The Xue family came to ask the mother of the Gu family, if Qi Niang was a daughter of the clan, it would not be Erniang who went north this time. Moreover, with Erniang's methods, it is unknown whether she will be ruthless to Xue Rengao. ”

Mu Qing thought of Gu Erniang's murder of her a year ago, and she accepted sympathy in her heart, and didn't say much or think about it anymore. I talked to Du Ruhui for a while about Gu Biao's situation in the past two days, and when he saw that the sky was getting dark, he was sent out of Yizhu Courtyard by Ah Liu.
