The forest has trees and branches (2)

After all, he was frightened, and before dawn the next day, Mu Qing started a fever. Early in the morning, there was a rush in the Yizhu courtyard, Mrs. Lu took care of it, and carefully told Ah Liu some things, leaving a little girl to help, and went back to her courtyard. By the time Mu Qing woke up leisurely, it was already Shen Shi, and the strong smell of medicine filled the house reminded her of the earthy smell in the river again, and her stomach swelled, and she almost vomited.

Someone patted her back, but it was definitely not Ah Liu. After tossing for a while, she finally calmed down, looked up at the person who took care of her, and saw that it was Yu Li, but she didn't thank her politely. The two talked a few words about last night, and faintly heard someone talking outside the house, and after a while, Aliu entered the door with a food box.

Mu Qing watched her take out the dishes in the food box, a bowl of thick rice porridge, a small plate of soy tofu, a small bowl of brassica mixed with shrimp paste, and a small bowl of parsley. According to Mrs. Lu's instructions, he specially prepared a porridge and side dishes, but Mu Qing sighed, without the slightest appetite, and only asked, "Who is Ah Liu talking to outside the house?" ”

"It's Dualang. asked Qi Niang how she is doing. I also asked a few words about last night. ”

"Can you thank him for me? Why don't you invite him in and talk? Mu Qing remembered that Mrs. Lu said last night that he also went to find himself.

"Thank you, but you have to wait until Qi Niang is well to thank you in person." Ah Liu thought for a while, and added, "I have time to invite him in the future, after Du Alang asked about last night's incident, he just said that Qi Niang would be good to live and raise, and left in a hurry." ”

I don't know why, after listening to Ah Liuhou's words, Mu Qing's heart sank a little bit of loss, and he became more and more reluctant to eat, only leaning on the screen around the bed sullenly. Yu Li was a little anxious, and softly persuaded her to eat more, and Ah Liu was also diligently persuading her.

Because he didn't want Yu Li to embarrass Ah Liu, Mu Qing only got a few bites at the table, and when he saw that the sky was dark, he sent Yu Li back.

After Yu Li left, Mu Qing was still sullen, holding a book, flipping through a few pages, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Ah Liu, "What was the situation last night?" Did you see that? Why did Mr. Du ask you this? ”

Ah Liu frowned and muttered for a moment and said, "Why do you ask, but I don't understand." It's just that after he asked, his face changed a little and he left in a hurry, which was a bit strange. As for last night's incident, in fact, I didn't see Qi Niang fall into the water. After getting out of the cabinet, at first I was still following Qi Niang, but when I squeezed in front of the stage, someone suddenly squeezed over, and the crowd was crowded by him. ”

"Even so, I feel a little strange, although there were many people last night, why was I squeezed to the side of the river? There was a stone fence along the river, but there was no fence on the part where I fell into the water, and now that I think about it, it seems that someone deliberately led me to push there. Mu Qing followed his memory and said, "What do you remember?"

Ah Liuben is also a clever person, listening to his little mother say this, he didn't feel that a layer of fine sweat appeared on his back in the cold weather, "There is another thing that is a little strange." After being separated from Qi Niang, he just wanted to go forward to find it, but suddenly a small servant came to pass the word, saying that Ah Lang sent him to find Qi Niang, and asked Ah Liu to go back to the house first to prepare Qi Niang's washing and bedtime, because it was late, I was afraid that Qi Niang would have to sleep as soon as she returned home. Ah Liu also felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and he listened to Ah Lang's orders, so he went back to the house first. As soon as I returned home, I heard a message from the front yard that Qi Niang was missing. ”

There are a lot of things that are wrong, and the line that can't be sorted out is general. Mu Qingfu thought about it on the bed for a long time, his head was heavy, and his limbs were flowing with a trace of pain, and finally sighed in his heart. In less than a moment, he fell asleep again.

This illness lasted for nearly two months, and he missed the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, which made Mu Qinghao annoyed for a while. Yu Li knew her heart, and she had made a peach blossom lantern when she was resting during the New Year's Festival, and depicted it carefully, and sent it to Yizhu Courtyard on the day of Shangyuan, and accompanied her for a long time, and promised to stay until her birthday, and she would take her to the spring, which made her smile.

In the middle of February, when the weather was a little warmer, Mrs. Lu carefully looked at Mu Qing's complexion, and saw that she had been recuperated with white skin and powder, so she asked a doctor to check her pulse and confirm that she was well, so she was allowed to return to the church.

The forest has trees and branches

On the first day of returning to the hall, Tianfu was bright, and Mu Qing urged Ah Liu to wash up. Ah Liu followed the habit of weekdays, and wanted to comb her a double mustache hanging bun, hesitated to comb it a few times, stopped and said, "Now that Qi Niang is also older, and she still hangs a double mustache, she wants to call Yu Ah Lang a joke, it is better to comb a hanging hair and divide the Xiao bun." After speaking, without waiting for Mu Qing to respond, he took it upon himself to divide the hair on the top of her head, pick it up with a hair pin, and quickly coil out two hanging buns at the back of her head, dividing the remaining hair strands at the back of her head into two strands, and hanging them on both sides of her chest at will. After combing it properly, I rummaged through a few small five-petal flower nails pinched by gold wire in the makeup, and firmly pushed them on the edge of the hanging bun.

After finishing the makeup, Ah Liu looked at Mu Qing's appearance in the bronze mirror in a little daze, and muttered unconsciously: "Qi Niang is really old, she has taken off the childishness of her little daughter, and her eyebrows and eyes have grown a little, and she looks like a good person." ”

Mu Qing pouted and smiled, "Ah Liu is so strange today. ”

Ah Liu came back to her senses, afraid that she would suffer from the spring cold again, and added a goose yellow brocade back to her pink skirt. After looking up and down, he was quite satisfied, and then he said: "Qi Niang, I shouldn't have said this, but Ah Liu has been watching from the sidelines over the years and has seen it a little better." Yu Alang's intentions, Qi Niang really doesn't understand? ”

Mu Qing bowed his head and was silent, knowing in his heart what Ah Liu was going to say, and the night when he fell into the water, when he slept with his mother, what his mother mentioned was the same thing. Of course she understands Yu Li's intentions, but her intentions, even she herself can't understand, she is greedy for Yu Li's kindness to her on weekdays, and she only thinks of it as a stubborn love since childhood.

"Yu Alang is now twenty-six or seventeen years old, although he is a widow who has nothing to rely on, he is also a family heir, Alang praises others for his kindness, and it is good to ask, he has entered the official career in the past two years, but he has not established a family for a long time, what is Qi Niang for him?" Seeing that she was silent, Ah Liu sighed, "Last year, the eldest lady was married and went out, and I heard that the second mother will also find a suitable person to discuss marriage this year, and Ah Lang likes Mr. Du the most." In the blink of an eye, it will be Qi Niang's turn, if Qi Niang has a heart, it is better to plan for herself. ”

Mu Qing raised his head, smiled brightly in his eyes, and slapped Ah Liu gently, "Why is this girl talking so much today, talking about these things for no reason, could it be that she is also thinking about leaving the cabinet?" Wait for me to show my mother, and find a good family for you. ”

Ah Liu frolicked slightly and hurriedly sent her out to class. Out of the door of Yizhu Courtyard, the smile on Mu Qing's face was completely suppressed, and the clarity in his eyes turned into a clear stream in an instant, sliding from his eyes to his cheeks. "Erniang will also find a suitable person to discuss marriage this year, and Ah Lang likes Mr. Du the most." Ah Liu's casual words slammed into her chest with a dull ache. But because of these words, I understood my mind like an empowerment.

Because it was early on this day, there was no one else from Yizhu Courtyard to the classroom, Mu Qing lowered his head and walked forward blankly, walking crookedly, and the corner of his robe crashed into his eyes, stopped suddenly, and looked up to see that it was Du Ruhui. hurriedly turned his head to wipe away the remaining tears on his cheeks, and tried to make a smiling face, but he couldn't do it after all, so he only embarrassedly bowed and called "Mr. Du", blurting out a voice with a hint of trembling.

Du Ruhui saw her lost soul from a distance, and when she arrived in front of her, she took a closer look, and she was slightly stunned. Jiangnan women are as delicate as glutinous rice pinching, at this time they changed their original consistent double buns, revealing a bit of girlish charm, and then this pear blossom with rain appearance, so that people can't help but feel a trace of unbearable in their hearts, and can't help but lower their voices and ask: "But it's great?" ”

Mu Qing nodded, his heart was flustered, and he suddenly thought of what he said he wanted to thank before, and said with a bow: "The night Qi Niang fell into the water, I have to thank Mr. Du for ......"

"No thanks." Du Ru said lightly.

The answer was so bland that Mu Qing didn't know what to say for a while. The two walked forward silently together for a while, Mu Qing had a lot of things to ask in his heart, wondering if he really wanted to hire Gu Erniang, and also wondered if he had heard that he had married a wife when he was a child, how could he hire Erniang, and even more wanted to tell him what she wanted. The words churned in his chest a few times, and then turned around his throat a few times, and finally when he spoke, he became a sentence, "The moon is my birthday, and that day is the day of spring, Mr. Du is willing to go with Qi Niang?" ”

Du Ruhui didn't seem to hear it, and muttered: "If I say, that day you fell into the water, someone did it on purpose, are you afraid?" ”

Suddenly hearing this, Mu Qingjing raised his head and looked at him with wide eyes, "Don't be afraid." Qi Niang also had this suspicion before, but after thinking about it carefully, I really can't think of anyone who has such a grudge against me and wants to put people to death. ”

"Let me ask you, do you want to find this person?" Du Ruhui stood up and asked.

Mu Qing thought for a moment and said, "If someone really has such a vicious mind, I must find out this person, so that Qi Niang knows why, and I hope Mr. Du will help me." It's just the same, before the fact, I don't want to alarm my father and mother, which adds to their worries. ”

Du Ruhui nodded, "Qi Niang don't make a noise for the time being, today is the time, I will go to Yizhu Courtyard to visit Qi Niang, and then make plans." Saying that, the two of them had walked to the door of the class, and before entering the room, he paused again, and his face changed the previous solemnity, with a slight smile, "Since Qi Niang invites each other, the moon will be as promised." ”

For a while, Mu Qing's face turned red, the pink revealed in the whiteness, like the peach petals that bloomed first in early spring, and she couldn't hide her shyness, she didn't see the smile in Du Ruhui's eyes even stronger when she turned around.
