Mu Qing was stunned, opened his mouth slightly, and wanted to say something, but he muttered for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

Mr. Yuan looked at Du Ruhui, then looked back at Mu Qing, nodded his head, and said as if to himself: "It's a good match, it's exactly the same." ”

Mu Qing didn't know what he was whispering at all, and looked at Du Ruhui blankly, he was overjoyed, leaned over and whispered, "It is the same Mr. Yuan who met you when you were a child." ”

"This woman has a noble appearance, but she seems to be nothing, she does not show it, and her momentum will develop in the future, but I am afraid that she is a powerful person, and the Gu family is prosperous and weak, but she is the master." These words flashed in Mu Qing's mind, and then he looked up at Yuan Tiangang, who was nodding at himself with a kind smile. "The road will be dangerous in the future, but can you be afraid?"

Mu Qing didn't know what he meant by the dangerous path, but he suddenly understood what he was referring to, and shook his head with a smile, "Don't be afraid." ”

He seemed to be extremely satisfied, "When the powerful are in their hands, remember to be merciful and forgiving." ”

Although she was confused, she still thought about the etiquette and bowed, "Mr. Teachings, Qi Niang wrote it down." ”

He smiled, left Mu Qing, and beckoned to Du Ruhui: "I haven't seen you for ten years?" Let me take a closer look. ”

Du Ruhui stepped forward according to his words, Yuan Tiangang looked up and down for a while, raised his face, and said: "Good birds choose wood, choose the right Jiamu, break the army and turn Lu, and store momentum, it is this way, there is no mistake." Before he finished speaking, he pointed to the turbulent stream in front of him and motioned to Du Ruhui to look, "It can be seen that the rapids do not recede?" ”

Du Ru looked at the stream that rushed straight down, and the more it rushed, the more momentum grew, and it slammed into the big stone across the middle of the stream, and suddenly the water splashed everywhere, splashing countless small droplets of water in all directions. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Broken bones." ”

I looked back and wanted to thank Yuan Tiangang for his advice, but I saw that he had already stepped down the big stone, held the piano, and went up the mountain leisurely, walked out for a long time, and said loudly: "When you see fate, you cherish each other." But he didn't look back, as if the words didn't come from his mouth.

"What day is today, I have cultivated both Buddhism and Taoism. What kind of mountain is this vault mountain, not high or far, but it hides this strange man. Mu Qing and Du Ruyan walked down the mountain, rode back on their horses, and then hurried to Yuhang. On the road, neither of them mentioned Yuan Tiangang's words, and they really had nowhere to talk about them, these words sounded probably good, but they all took a sharp turn, and there was a tragic killing atmosphere under the tasting, so it was not weird.

Stay overnight, and before noon the next day, you can already see and hear the sound of water, and the waves are shining. "Do you still recognize the big stream in front of you?" Du Ruhui asked, pointing to the stream in front of him.

"How can you not recognize Dongtiaoxi." Mu Qing smiled: "You have been here in Yuhang for four or five years, how many times?" How is it that I have been thirteen years old, and have come to this stream every year? ”

Du Ruyan tugged at the corners of his lower lip lightly, with a few different meanings, "I've only been here once, and I'm still at your invitation, just this time is enough." ”

There are three Gu mansions in Yuhang, in the same street and alley. The two places in the head are called the big mansion and the second mansion, it is Gu Biao's two sons who opened, last year after the turmoil, the original owners of the two mansions are no longer there, after the rebels of the rebellious party were swept away, the mansion was almost destroyed, and now only some of the homeless people who claimed to be Gu Shi's side branch moved to live, and the original Gaomen Huafu flowery mansion was soon divided into more than a dozen small portals.

In the innermost part of the street, the Gu Mansion built according to the mountain is called the Old Mansion. Mu Qing took the reins, suppressed the heartbeat like a drum, and couldn't wait to enter the gate in a moment, but she didn't know that now this door can still enter, she whispered to herself in her heart, it's okay, if the door is sealed, she will worship at the door, and it will not be in vain. Although the heart said this, the reins in his hand became tighter and tighter, and he walked more and more slowly. Du Ruhui didn't urge on the side, but only moved slowly with her in a daze.

Suddenly, the door of the mansion opened, Mu Qing's heart was sparkling, and the hand holding the reins shook involuntarily, she was almost about to think that the next moment, the spirited father and the loving and benevolent mother would come out of the mansion.

The next moment, several people walked out of the mansion, led by Liu Ao, the manager of Jiangdu, followed by Ada Aliu, who had set off earlier, and the three maids of the moon, clouds, and stars and Du Qi. Mu Qing was stunned immediately, full of surprise, and looked carefully, it was indeed them, and he hurriedly took two steps and rushed forward.

Ada stepped forward and led the two horses, and the rest stood at the door and saluted with a smile. "Lady, look at this plaque." Liu Ao pointed to the huge plaque with the word "Gu Fu" written on the door of the house, "Ah Lang said that these two words are written by Mr. Yu, and he will not change the plaque." ”

Mu Qing looked up, sure enough, it was still the ebony gold-rimmed plaque from before, which had been wiped new, and she realized that he must have bought the old mansion from Gu Erlang, who had moved to the countryside.

She looked back at Du Ruhui, who was smiling as warm as jade as always. Many words of gratitude were in the throat, and I couldn't say it for a while. I don't know how he knew, so he shook his head slightly, not letting her thank her, "What is the pestle doing at the door, hurry up and go in and take a look." ”

Every grass and tree in the house is as usual, where there is bamboo, where there is cinnamon, where there are flowers, where the path is obliquely paved, where the lotus pond ripples, as shown in the previous life, vividly. The compound where Gu Biao and his wife used to live was converted into an ancestral hall, and the incense was fluttering and rising. After worshipping the tablet, Du Ruhui sent everyone away, didn't let him follow, took Mu Qing's hand, and took her to Yizhu Courtyard.

Nowadays, Yizhu Courtyard is the main courtyard, so the courtyard gate is expanded, and the rest remain unchanged. The courtyard is still full of bamboo shadows, green leaves are swaying, mostly phoenix tail bamboo, the bamboo forest path is quiet, and the small pavilion that used to sit and play chess is also the same. Mu Qing brushed the bamboo branches all the way to the small pavilion, and on the stone table in the pavilion, even the small red clay stove was still placed.

"I still remember the year I went with you, when this bamboo blossomed, and it was going to die immediately, why is it still there?" She stroked a bamboo branch that leaned into the small pavilion and said suspiciously.

"Solid and resurrected, do you remember?"

Since entering the mansion, Mu Qing's throat has been blocked with a soft thing, teaching her to be speechless, and at this time she can only smile and nod, but her eyes are red in an instant.

The next day, I went to the grave of Mrs. Gu Biaolu behind the mountain to worship, and it was inevitable that it would be another sadness. It took five or six days before he settled down. A few days later, Liu Ao took care of all the trivial things, and delivered a delicate small wooden box to her, and opened it to see that it was the deed of this old mansion, a total of two, one signed the names of Gu Erlang and Liu Ao, and the other was given to Mu Qing by Liu Ao again, Mu Qing thanked again and again, but Liu Ao said: "Ah Lang has good intentions, and I am just a matter of internal affairs, and it is not worth thanking." ”

A few days ago, she was happy and sentimental, which confused her mind, and she had nothing to do in the past two days, and she suddenly remembered something, how to send all the servants and maids in the Dongdu mansion, but she didn't know how long she would stay. It is said that the army has collected troops from Goguryeo and returned to the dynasty in the past few days, and Tang Guogong's order is about to be issued, so why don't you listen to Du Ruhui mention it.

Looking at Du Ruhui again, he also looks like an idle cloud and a wild crane, and he is really confused. Mu Qing asked twice, and he replied that the rainy season in Jiangnan was not good for walking, and it was rare to come back, and he didn't know when he would stay next, so he would stay after the rainy season and make plans again.

This is not unreasonable, Mu Qingsi let her get together with him less and more, and he has always been busy and busy, so he just wanted to rest more, so he didn't mention it.

In the blink of an eye, Mei came out, and the fire started again. Ah Liu's body is getting heavier and heavier, and she will give birth in three months. Mu Qing didn't allow her to do anything anymore, and even the daily errand of decocting medicine was taken care of by Ah Yue.

After taking the medicine for more than half a year, it didn't work, and then looking at Ah Liu, Mu Qing was inevitably a little anxious secretly, thinking that he would return to the Eastern Capital, and he wanted to find Zhao Cang to ask for a pulse once or twice, and see if he could add or subtract a few medicines.

It was already Qixi Festival on this day, and Mu Qing asked Du Ruhui again during the day when he would return to the Eastern Capital, and he only said that it was soon. Mu Qing also said that Ah Liu was afraid that he would not be able to return to the Eastern Capital, and that he would stay in Yuhang to give birth, but he only responded lightly and followed her as the master. After a while, he suddenly asked her, when the night is outside, there is a river lantern by Qiantang Lake, but she wants to go and see.

Mu Qing was reluctant to go out, shook his head and said: "There are many people outside, and the noise makes people dizzy, how can it be more elegant than walking and stargazing in the courtyard." ”

After dinner, the two of them really walked together in the courtyard, the courtyard of the Gu Mansion was huge, and the fireflies led the way, swaying and walking around, all the way she was chattering non-stop, reminiscing about the bits and pieces of his childhood, his words were especially few, only smiling and listening.

Before I knew it, there was a sweet fragrance of cinnamon wafting in the night wind, "Guess where is the fragrance of cinnamon?" Mu Qing's heart suddenly moved, and he asked with a smile.

Du Ruhui still didn't speak, took her hand and walked towards the pavilion that was half hanging above the pond, and the fragrance of a few laurel trees next to the pavilion was fragrant. "This is where I first met you." He sat down against a pillar in the pavilion, and pulled her against him and leaned in front of him, "Then you sat alone in front of this pillar, dangling on the pool with your bare feet. ”

"You stood under that old laurel tree and bluffed me." Mu Qing replied with a smile and fell on his bent knee.

The two laughed for a while, and then they were silent for a long time, the starry sky was vast, Mu Qing leaned his head on his chest, and pointed to the stars to draw the outlines of the stars. Suddenly I heard a dull sigh in his chest, "I can give you too little." ”

"That's a lot." She shook her head at his chest and said, a wave of unease rising in her heart for no apparent reason.

"So far, I can't hire the media, and I have repeatedly taught you to take risks."

Mu Qing deliberately laughed out loud, hiding the panic in her heart, "Aren't you waiting for your Mrs. Xu Yipinguo to marry in makeup?" ”

While speaking, there was a small sound of walking on the path outside the pavilion, and the two turned their heads to look at it, but it was Ah Yue, holding a temperature-insulated food box in her hand, and said as she walked: "Qi Niang won't take medicine tonight?" It's going to be too late. As he spoke, he carefully placed the food box on the stone table and took out a bowl of steaming potion.

"How did you know I was here?" Mu Qingqi said.

Ah Yue paused and replied to her with a little hesitation, "Sister Ah Liu said that if you can't find it anywhere else, it must be here." ”

At the moment, Mu Qing has no doubt, in the past, the pavilion under the waterside tree was indeed her favorite to come alone, especially in the yellowing season of Guizi, and often had to bother Ah Liu to come to her again and again.

Du Ruhui took the soup bowl in Ah Yue's hand and handed it directly to Mu Qing. She was stunned again, if Su Ri took medicine in front of him, he would have to take a sip first, and then give it to her when it was warm, why did he avoid this mouthful today? Could it be that he finally realized that this was really a superfluous move?

"The medicine is cold, and if you don't drink it anymore, it will be ineffective." He urged in a low voice.

Mu Qing didn't have time to say anything, the medicine bowl had reached her lips, and it was indeed slightly cold, so she had to open her mouth and drink the bowl in his hand.

Ah Yue took away the empty bowl, didn't urge her to rest early, and went back to Yizhu Courtyard with the food box.

Mu Qing was still lying on his chest, he reached out to hug her, his palm covered her hand, and whispered softly in her ear, at first she could still hear what he was saying, after a while, only his low and gentle voice was heard in her ears, but the words he spoke could not enter his heart, he would only look up at the stars stupidly, as if all the stars were jumping, shuttling and jumping across the galaxy, the light of the stars became more and more brilliant, and became more and more blurred.

"How can this star be so beautiful......" After muttering this, she closed her eyes and fell into a stupor.
