There is a silo in the south and climbs the north stone (2)

That day and night, for some reason, Mu Qing tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, until the second half of the night, when the fifth watch had been reported outside. Outside, Ah Liu slept soundly, because she worked hard with her day after day, and slept deeply at night. She got up and wrapped a thick blue silk curtain, carefully walked outside, and saw that half of Aliu's couch was dropped on the footrest, afraid that she would be cold, Mu Qing gently picked up the quilt, slowly covered her, and gently picked up the night light next to Aliu's couch and went out of the house.

There is no wind outside, and there is a hint of flowers and plants growing in the air. She took the lamp, walked around the small courtyard, returned to the porch, and chose a place to sit by the railing. It was the turn of day and night, the spring cold was deep, and I couldn't help but wrap the veil on my body. It was rare to be quiet, so she thought about the recent events little by little, and sat down until the sky was light.

Since the year before falling into the water and almost dying, on the day of his birthday, Yu Li sent a pair of Luan Bird Title Bracelets, and mentioned the intention of marrying her, and then Du Ruhui captured the person who pushed her into the water, and then learned that Erniang's feelings for Yu Li, and then Daddy fell ill, and the two brothers deliberately treated her coldly, and then the Xue family asked to marry Erniang. If her previous 12 years of life in the house were like a straight and light-colored line, then now this line is divided into several strands, entangled at one end, tied several unbreakable knots, and the colors are strong and mixed, she is entangled in those strands, not straight, unable to get out, she can only retreat again and again, enclosure self-style. But I never thought that the more I constricted, the tighter the knot would be entangled. It seems that it can't be solved, but it seems that there are many solutions, but if it can't be solved, she can't solve it, she doesn't have the ability to solve it, and she doesn't have the courage to continue to go down, for fear that if she takes one more step, she will break one. So she avoided the bold thoughts in her mind again and again, and waited quietly as the threads twisted, waiting for the knotted threads to throw her on, and she would go.

In the blink of an eye, the eight characters of Gu Erniang and Xue Rengao were carefully taken out from under the incense burner enshrined in front of the Bodhisattva's case, and the two exchanged them. Eighteen large boxes of nanmu were hung with red silk, and they turned around in Jingshan Town, and a pair of fat geese with red ropes tied to their feet were carried into Gu Dalang's mansion. The surname Yu Hang talked about it on the streets for a while, and the little ladies who were waiting to be out of the pavilion were all envious, and those who had seen Erniang did their best to praise her peerless appearance.

The gift has been completed, the envoy of the Xue family invited the time for the head of the family, and went to Lanzhou Jincheng Pass, and agreed that Erniang only worshiped the ancestral hall in the clan, and said goodbye to her grandparents and parents. Ten days later, April 19 set off, and Dalang's family was busy. The steward went out to find a few servants and maids, and then selected two reliable little maids to marry at home, and took care of the servant woman Tao Niang, who had taken care of Erniang since she was a child, because she fled to this place in her early years, she was homeless, and she was also used to serving, so she invited herself to go with her, and the Dalang couple was deeply pleased, so they treated her differently from other domestic servants, and instructed everyone in the family to call her mother, and privately gave a number of property, and said countless thoughtful words, only entrusted Erniang to her good life care.

On Gu Biao's side, now that they are in such a situation, both of them are not in good health, and Mrs. Lu can barely support her spirits. A dry object for the wedding has already been prepared, a total of boxes, one box has been taken away when the eldest lady leaves the pavilion, one box is reserved for Mu Qing, and the other box is for the second mother. The mouth box is the same, it is a knee-high red sandalwood box, it is not big, the sun is carved with a landscape pattern, the four corners are wrapped with gilt silver sheets, and the gilt silver lock engraved with Ruyi pattern is carved, which is simple but exquisite. The boxes are all paved with gold nuggets and gold cakes, and the layers are placed in the yards, and then there are some ornaments such as hairpin chains of gold and jade gemstones, all of which are delicate and precious, although they are some vulgar things, they are not unconventional. Behind Mu Qing's box, there is a simple wooden box without ornamentation, half a person high, which is another dowry prepared by Gu Biao for her, and a whole box of ancient books and calligraphy is treasured, but it is priceless.

Mrs. Lu lasted for a long time, and Mu Qing couldn't bear to see her working hard, so she took over for her. Thinking that my brother's side must be so busy that people are turning over on their backs, I sent a few capable people to go over to the house to help. picked another good day, asked Mrs. Lu, brought a few people to carry the red sandalwood box, and then accepted a set of false gifts from Dalang for Mrs. Lu, and had to return him with courtesy, and the brothers and sisters had a cold entertainment. Da Lang was also afraid that Mu Qing was given to Yu Li, after all, he was a person in the official, and he wanted to give face to some extent, although he didn't look down on her as a concubine's daughter, there was still a bit of hypocrisy in his words. But now that he wants to come to Yu Li and be promoted, he is only a fifth-level official, and he has no support, but he has become Xue Rengao's father-in-law, and he is close to the fake king in the north, and he is proud of his different identity, so he is too lazy to give Mu Qing that face, and after the false courtesy, he only sent her away lightly.

Mu Qing didn't want to stay longer, so he was happy to leave his errand early, so that he could get away and take care of Gu Biao. Before he got out of the house, he didn't want to meet Gu Erniang who was walking in a curling way, and he couldn't avoid it, so Mu Qing had to pull up a symbolic smile and face Erniang's iron-like face.

Walking closer, the following Tao Niang saluted Mu Qing, Mu Qing returned the salute with a smile, and called "Tao Niang". When I looked at Erniang in a blink of an eye, I saw that her face was blue, her eye sockets were deep, her bloodless lips were pursed, and she didn't have the shyness and joy of a bride. Erniang was like a wood carving, and she didn't answer. Mu Qing sighed inaudibly, and asked softly, "What kind of person is Xue Rengao, do you know?" ”

Erniang turned her head slowly, the corners of her lips raised slightly, although her eye sockets were deep, her eyes were dark and bright, and she giggled in a strange voice: "It's hard for Qi Niang." Since he has already accepted this family, how can he not know what kind of character he is in the Xue family? You don't have to be hypocritical here, I'm afraid that you didn't think that when Daddy was still hesitating, I invited myself to marry the Xue family. ”

Invited? Mu Qing was stunned, maybe he didn't want to see the day when Yu Li married her, and wanted to cut off that love thread? You don't have to lose your life. Thinking like this, Mu Qing felt a little ashamed in his heart, "Actually, Senior Brother Yu ...... him"

Erniang burst out with an even more chilling laugh, panting with laughter, "Yu Li, Yu Li, do you think I am really such an infatuated species?" Even if I do marry him, what can he give me? It's just a matter of fighting for an official all his life, your pearl and my fish, I am not here. But the Xue family is different, what I want, the Xue family gives. It was indeed a terrible place, and since I had decided to go, I knew how to deal with myself, and I did not bother you. ”

After saying it with a smile, without waiting for Mu Qing to respond, he moved away and still walked forward. After walking a few steps, he stood still again, turned his head and smiled, and said coldly: "Gu Muqing, you are just the granddaughter of a concubine of the Wujun clan, and you can't even compare to a big girl with a face, your grandparents picked you up, but you should be a cat and a dog, and you can relieve your boredom at leisure, don't feel that your grandfather gave you a name and taught you some homework, so you mistakenly treat yourself as a serious mother." After speaking, he took the peach girl and walked away.

When they were young in the past, the two often quarreled and were angry, and Erniang's bitter and mean words, Mu Qing would definitely return it unrelentingly. But now, both of them are older, and each has their own hearts. These words really hit Mu Qing, although his face was still indifferent, his heart was sore and painful, and he was unspeakably stunned, but he had no choice but to live day by day, until he could no longer stay in Yizhu Courtyard.
