Far from returning to it (2)

Walking into the front yard, all the servants saw her coming like this, they were all frightened, and there were also sensible ones, they couldn't help but applaud in their hearts, secretly praising the little lady for being really a fierce and affectionate person, and no one forgot about the obstruction for a while, and only let Mu Qing and Yu Li enter the big house, Ah Liu was already waiting in the courtyard, and when he saw Mu Qing coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped him into the house.

The house was full of relatives, the words that were talking, the low sobbing of burning paper in front of the spirit, the noise stopped the moment Mu Qing entered the house, and all eyes were focused on her plain clothes. Ah Liu took a stick of incense, lit it on the white candle lit in front of the desk, and handed it to Mu Qing to bow. Under the gaze of everyone and the angry glaring of Da Lang, Mu Qing knelt down to the two big coffins in the hall, and called out in a trembling voice, "Daddy, Auntie." Instantly, the tears that had already condensed back into his eyes collapsed like a bank, and he could no longer speak.

Gu Dalang suddenly came back to his senses, became angry, and called the two little guys, "Tear off her plain clothes!" How could a foster daughter with a low status be so bold and dare to assume the status of a concubine. ”

Yu Li took a step closer to Mu Qing, and glanced at everyone with a gloomy face. Those little guys didn't dare to make a move, looking at their own Ah Lang, and looking at the young man in front of them, they couldn't help but take half a step back.

Mu Qing didn't seem to hear Da Lang's words, didn't see the little guy rushing over, kowtowed in front of the spirit by himself, calmed down, and let Ah Liu help her get up. "Da Lang doesn't have to be like this, Qi Niang has never put the name of the Gu family's concubine in his eyes before, if Qi Niang has already put this false name in his heart, how can it be difficult to even want to focus on filial piety in front of the spirit, and how can he ask people to replace the chopping with hemp? Now the two elders have gone together, not to mention whether they have the status of a daughter or not, even if they are people who serve daily, they know that they must do their best, not to mention that I was raised by my father and mother. Saying that, he burst into tears again, "I don't want to be famous, I just want to complete the number of courtesies and fulfill filial piety." ”

The relatives had some small discussions, and they told each other that Mu Qing's statement was good, and the affection was also real. Gu Dalang's face was a little unbearable for a while, "That is the case, now that filial piety is complete, what are you still doing here?" ”

Mu Qing sneered, "I'm leaving, and I'm here to say goodbye to my father and mother today." In addition, Aliu grew up with me since she was a child, and she is willing to go with me, I wonder if Da Lang can give me Aliu's identity deed? ”

"Ah Liu is the slave of the Gu Mansion, not something you can take away if you say you can take it away." Gu Dalang said in a deep voice.

Mu Qing didn't say anything, and only asked Ah Liu to wait for the little guy who was carrying the box outside the door. The two little guys carefully carried the gilded box with the four corners of the yang carved landscape. At a glance, Da Lang knew that he had prepared a wedding box for Mu Qing, which was the same as the two boxes that the eldest mother and second mother gave when they came out of the pavilion.

Mu Qing was in front of everyone, and opened the gilded silver lock on the box, revealing a box full of pearls and jade hairpins, gold nuggets and gold cakes. "This is my father and grandmother gave me a wedding gift, today Qi Niang went out, only brought some daily clothes and books given by my father, and other belongings have not been touched, all here. Take these, in exchange for Ah Liu's deed, Da Lang thinks is it enough? ”

Ah Liu was shocked, and she didn't expect that Mu Qing would take all her belongings in exchange for her identity deed. Someone among the relatives said, "This box, not to mention a slave and maid, that is, the slaves and maids of the whole house can be bought." "Because many people should be reconciled, and this box of property in exchange for a slave and maid's deed, it is really arrogant, Da Lang is also happy to collect a fortune, and happily sent someone to get Ah Liu's deed.

After a while, someone took Ah Liu's deed and handed it to Mu Qing, Mu Qing unfolded it and looked at it, verified that it was correct, raised his hand and threw it into the brazier on the side, everyone was surprised. Ah Liu knelt down towards Mu Qing, Mu Qing leaned over to help her, and said softly, "Today I let you go, from now on, you are no longer a lowly person, you are a free body, if you want, you can go by yourself, you don't have to follow me around." ”

Ah Liu choked up and said: "Even if you are free, you will never abandon Qi Niang, I just ask Qi Niang not to abandon me." ”

Mu Qing nodded, and together with Ah Liu, he bowed in front of the spirit again, took off his plain clothes, folded them upright, and placed them in front of the spirit. turned around and bowed to Yu Li, and walked straight out of the house and out of the compound.

After being discharged from the hospital, Mu Qing stood still, turned around to salute Yu Li, but Yu Li hurriedly helped her not to salute, "Let me send you to the car." The two were silent and took a few steps forward side by side. Yu stood beside her and sighed quietly: "Actually, I knew that he was interested in you. On the night you fell into the water, I rushed to the river with him, but he jumped into the river before me, and after saving you, he was afraid that you would get cold, and he was wet again, so he pushed you into my arms and asked me to take you back to my house quickly. He was so attached to you, and I had a faint sense of it. Later, Daddy fell ill, and in front of everyone, he tried his best to ensure that you treated Daddy with needles, and looking at his expression at that time, I was even more sure of his thoughts about you. It's just that I've always felt that I've been watching you since I was a child, and you're used to laughing and laughing in front of me, and you'll be more interested in me. I was wrong. ”

Mu Qing looked at him apologetically, "Even without him, Qi Niang only treats Senior Brother Yu as a brother, Brother A is now Qi Niang's last relative, his mother's family, and Qi Niang's lifelong dependence." ”

In the middle of his words, he arrived at the gate of the house. Two carriages were parked at the door, with Duzzy in front of him in a cart loaded with suitcases, and Ada the coachman in a slightly more elaborate carriage in the back, with carved panes and curtains on both sides. Du Ruhui stood by the carriage and waited.

Yu Li stood still, held her shoulder, and said softly: "Four years of classmates, it's good to see the virtues of others, Su Ri is also a responsible person, and I will definitely not fail you in the future." Tomorrow I will leave for Pingliang County to take up my post, it will not be easy to see each other in the future, you will cherish your life. If there is really a difficulty, come to Pingliang County, don't be afraid, there is a brother in everything. ”

Mu Qing burst into tears and nodded a few times. Tears fell again. Yu Li wiped away her tears with his fingertips, "The tears that should have been shed are all shed today, don't cry again in the future." He turned his head and instructed Ah Liu, "You are also a loving and righteous person, take good care of your mother." Aliu replied with tears in his eyes.

Mu Qing still lowered his head and sobbed, and Yu Li comforted softly, "Okay, today is my brother's sending you out, you shouldn't be crying, come, have a good laugh." Mu Qing raised his head and tried to smile at him, with tears on his face. Yu Li's eyes immediately turned red, turned around and waved his hand, "Let's go." ”

She looked back at the mansion of the Gu Mansion again, even though she was reluctant in her heart, now she had to walk away from the old mansion and walk to a road full of unknowns. Fortunately, at that entrance, next to the car, someone was waiting for her with a faint smile. Du Ruhui stretched out his hand to her, and her feet involuntarily walked in his direction, it was a force more powerful than reluctance, although it was unknown, but there was no fear and hesitation.

Ah Liu got into the car driven by Du Qi in the front, and Du Ruhui took Mu Qing into the back car. As the carriage started, she lifted the light gauze curtain covered by the carved panes, and through the panes, she saw the figure of Yu Liding standing at the door of the mansion, even with the Gu mansion, getting farther and farther away, more and more blurred. She leaned against the window for a long time, and before she could leave the town, she fell into a deep sleep.

Du Ruhui gently pulled her over and let her lean in her arms, so that she could sleep more comfortably. The rising sun, through the panes and veils, softly sprinkled on her face, exuding a faint sweet fragrance like jasmine, he pulled a thin robe, covered her, couldn't help but look at her sleeping face, eyelashes trembled slightly, small and sharp nose bridge, after all, young, only fourteen years old, there is still a trace of childishness on his face that cannot be hidden. After all, I didn't close my eyes for a day and a night, and suddenly encountered a great change, and I slept dark at this time, but my brows were still wrinkled. Du Ruhui stretched out her hand and gently rubbed her frowning brows, leaned her back against the wall of the car, and secretly swore in her heart that no matter what kind of troubled times and strife she would go to in the future, she would live well, so that she could cover the suffering of the world with her body and let her rely on it with confidence.

Mu Qing slept until the afternoon, and the sun was westward. She woke up leisurely, and saw that she was attached to Du Ruhui's arms, she blushed unconsciously and hurriedly stood up, "Mr. Du, Qi Niang has lost her temper." ”

"Do you still call me Mr. now?" Du Ruhan smiled, "You don't have to be so respectful in the future, you and I should treat each other as family." ”

Mu Qing nodded with a red face, and after a while, he said, "I thought you were going to ride a horse." ”

"If I ride a horse, how can you sleep peacefully for most of the day? Then I saw that you were injured and wanted to accompany you for a while. Right now, it's almost time to stay at the inn. Saying that, Du Ruhui leaned out and looked out for a while, and asked Ada in a loud voice, "How far is there to stay?" ”

Ada replied loudly: "Not far ahead is Tinglin Town, and when you enter the town, you can stay overnight." ”

For a while, the two sat silently, silent. The car was a little stuffy, Mu Qing raised his hand to hang the light gauze curtain on the pane and looked outside.
