The house is stable, and the years are quiet

This is her home, Mu Qing suddenly heard the word home, and was slightly uncomfortable. When she was a child, her home was in Yuhang Gu Mansion, but since she was a child, she knew that she was raised from the Gu family in Wu County. When she returned to Wu Jun's home, her biological parents couldn't wait to get out like goods, just to get a job for her father and brother in the future. Since she fled to Jiangdu, she has been staying in the inn, and it was not until she participated in the division of the salt pan of Du Yan in Jiangdu that she had a little peace of mind, and she could be regarded as having a livelihood there. In a blink of an eye, he followed Du Ruhui to Kyoto, and arrived at a strange place, and in this prosperous city, there was an inconspicuous courtyard, which was a home for him.

Mu Qing felt that she was like a big clam in the river, with a round bead wrapped in her soft belly, as white as snow and as bright as the moon, that was the home embedded in her life, once formed, she would protect her with flesh and blood for the rest of her life, if she wanted to peel off this bead, she could only tear her flesh and blood to pieces. To do this, she must have a rock-like shell to protect the beads she hides with a soft life.

In the afternoon, everyone was busy, and they settled their belongings one by one, and settled their own lodgings, and when it was time for dinner, they were about to rest. The dinner was set up in the ear room of the second hall, and it was simply Du Ruhui, Mu Qing and Yinghua. The rest of the people ate in the house outside the back kitchen after they had eaten. This place is different from the south of the Yangtze River, the diet is based on soup cakes, Hu food, mutton, venison, poultry and bird meat, because the weather is cold, vegetables and vegetables are not common, although Mu Qing prefers vegetables and fruits, he knows that he must follow the local customs, and does not pay attention to the diet.

It's just that near the end of dinner, a servant woman brought a bowl of milky white soup, Mu Qing looked at the bowl in front of him, faintly smelled a wisp of fish, and hesitated to pick it up. "This is sheep cheese, the winter here is not as cold as Jiangnan, you are new to the north, and you are thin, you have to drink more to resist the cold." Du Ruhui picked up the bowl with the sheep cheese and handed it to her, Mu Qing wrinkled his brows and took a sip, almost wanting to spit out all the food he had just eaten, so he hurriedly put down the bowl and drank a few sips of tea.

Yinghua raised his head and poured down the sheep cheese in one go, and when he put down the bowl, there was a circle of milky white on his lips, like the white beard of the old man, but he still didn't know it, and persuaded Mu Qing to drink a few more sips, which caused Mu Qing to laugh loudly, and he bent over and couldn't stand up with a straight smile. Du Ruhui doesn't remember the last time she saw her laughing like this, recalling that the day before the sunset of the New Year's Sending Society, when her father allowed her to go to watch the house together, she was less than a year old, but it was like a world away.

After nightfall, Ah Yun took care of Yinghua to rest, Ah Liu was in trouble, I don't know where Du Ruhui will sleep, he hesitated and was no longer embarrassed to ask, thinking that Mu Qing was thin-skinned and had no choice but to ask her. She guessed wildly and lowered her head and followed them to the front of the main house, and saw Du Ruhui brushing a trace of Mu Qing's sideburns and said, "I've been tired for days, let's rest early." I went to bed in my study, and I was called if I had something to do. Mu Qing smiled and nodded, Ah Liu finally let go of this breath, and secretly praised him for being considerate, Qi Niang really didn't see the wrong eye.

That day until late at night, Mu Qing had not fallen asleep, and Ah Liu had already fallen asleep in the outer compartment, obviously she had identified this home before Mu Qing and integrated it as quickly as possible. Mu Qing lay on the huge bed alone, stretched out his hand and teased the bucket tent set up in front of the bed, and there was a thick rhombic flower tent outside the silk yarn bucket tent to block the cold. When the sun is good during the day, she hasn't felt how cold it is, and after night, it's cold to the bone, she retracts her hand, wraps the futon tightly, smells the faint warm fragrance, and sighs contentedly.

The next morning, when she woke up, it was already past the hour. When she first sat up from the bed, she habitually thought that she was in some inn, holding her head for a while before she woke up, and it was already home. Before long, Ah Liu and Ah Yue came in with hot water, tooth balm, and toiletries, and Ah Liu read in pieces while serving her to wash, "I was going to call Qi Niang to get up in the morning, and Ah Lang ordered you to sleep, and this sleep will be until this hour." Ah Lang also laughed and said that the head of the house can sleep like this. Mu Qing nudged her, "When you have to be flamboyant, you can make fun of people if you are good." Ah Liu smiled for a while, and then said: "Ah Lang went to the Tang State Mansion in the morning, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return after noon, and the second watch will be closed, this is different from Jiangdu, the curfew is very strict, and I estimate that I will return before the second watch no matter what." ”

Ah Yue couldn't help laughing, took the silver grate to grate her hair, and asked carefully: "Now that you are not going out, do you want to comb your hair?" Mu Qing looked at himself carefully in front of the bronze mirror for a while, and picked up the small tassel hairpin on the case, "Still comb the woman's hair bun, and don't have to add other troubles." ”

Throughout the day, the sun was bright, Mu Qing wandered around the house, teased the colorful carp in the pond for a while, and sat in Yinghua's house again, seeing that although she was stable, she still read Wan's, and listened to Ah Yun who followed her say that she was talking in her dreams last night and calling her mother, and when she woke up, she secretly shed tears for a while. Mu Qing's heart was also sour, but he could only harden his heart and say, "If you only think about your grandmother, won't it be in vain for her to send you out." Since she gave up this heart, she hoped that you could fight for the future for yourself and hold your life firmly in your own hands. Yinghua bowed his head and remained silent when he heard this, and since then he has become more and more diligent in studying and practicing martial arts.

Before dinner, Du Ruhui really rushed back. At a glance, I saw the gold beads on her hair bun and hairpin that jumped slightly, and I only looked at her a few times with a smile on my face, but my heart was moved by it. During the meal, I heard him talk about Tang Guogong, and he did not shy away from saying: "Li Gong is too weak and suspicious, afraid of the tail, cunning, and even more because of the hereditary title of Tang Guogong, he does not dare to give up, even if he has the heart to do things, but he does not have enough courage, I am afraid that this matter will be a few years later." ”

"Do you regret coming to his aid?" Mu Qing asked.

He smiled secretly, "I'm not here to help Tang Guogong, the one selected was originally his second lang, the one named Li Shimin, but he is not yet ten years old, two years younger than you, and his foundation is still shallow, so he can only wait for the day when he will erect." Mu Qing didn't understand the twists and turns, and only quietly held his cheeks and listened to him say carefully. After the sun set in the west, the evening breeze made people chill, and at this time he was by his side, and the room was much warmer, and she glanced at the bowl of thick sheep cheese on the table, and still couldn't swallow it.

It was cold day by day, and after seeing the winter in the eastern capital, Mu Qing knew what cold was, and there was no green in the courtyard in a few days, and the cold wind blew overnight, and all the green changed clothes and became yellow. Although he was wrapped in winter clothes such as a curtain, brocade back, and skirt early, and there was a fluffy cloak of fox fur when he went out, Mu Qing still felt that the cold was like a steel knife scraping bones. She finally fell ill when the large pieces of snow fell, and it took five days of burning before the heat faded.

The smoke cage was constantly burning all day long, and the door of the house and in front of the bed were replaced with thick curtains filled with cotton wool. Mu Qing was slumped on the bed, and he could only look out at the snowy scene through the veil on the pane, Yinghua was wearing a bright red canopy and running and spinning in the snow-covered backyard, which was very good-looking, and Ada was squinting and grinning on the side. Ah Yue and Ah Yun, who rarely see snow falling in the south, are also laughing and playing in the snow. Suddenly, Yinghuatuo's palm rushed in from the outside, bringing a gust of cold wind, "Sister, look at the snowflakes." Du Ruhui took a small copper chisel flower cloud bat plum blossom pattern stove from Ah Liu's hand, placed it on Mu Qing's lap, and wrapped her fur cloak tightly. Yinghua stretched her palm under the tip of her nose, and there were no snowflakes in her palm, only a few droplets of water remained. The servant woman in the kitchen brought a small bowl of sheep cheese porridge, which was steaming, and she was afraid that her mouth would be tasteless in her illness, and she deliberately sprinkled some rock frosting. Mu Qing glanced at the bowl of cheese porridge, sighed long, picked up the bowl, wrinkled his brows, and ate the porridge one bite at a time.

This toss and turn, and it was not until the New Year that he gradually regained his strength. On the twentieth night of the lunar month, the official family sent the stove, and presented a puppet show on Duanmen Street, Du Ruhui invited her to watch it together, but she was restless because of the fact that she fell into the water at the night of the stove in Yuhang last year, and she was unwilling to go to watch the house, so he and his five friends went to drink, Ada also took Yinghua to play on the street, Mu Qing was at home at ease, the smoke cage in the house was burning warmly, holding a small stove in his arms, leaning on the couch and holding a volume of "The Theory of the Hidden Husband". A little red sandalwood was added to the smoked cage to help him sleep, and after a while, the book in his hand fell and he fell asleep on the couch.

The next day, the stove was delivered to the house, and the kitchen stove was served with various sweet and greasy omnivorous foods such as glue tooth dumplings and preserved fruits. On weekdays, she occasionally got interested, she also made some pastries in the kitchen, soup and the like, so the servants knew that she was not a strict one, everyone moved some chairs and stools to gather in the kitchen and laughed for a long time, all the rumors in Luoyang City, very interesting, she listened quietly and with interest on the side.

On the day of the New Year's Day, at the evening meal, the kitchen prepared a plate of five spices, garlic, garlic, leeks, brassica, and coriander, accompanied by spring cakes, preserved venison, and hot yokan. She really couldn't eat these five spice plates, she only tasted a little venison, and used some yokan spring cakes. Yinghua swallowed up the ground and ran away after dinner, until after the morning, she sent Ah Yue to look for her, only to see her slightly red and swollen eyes unhappily followed Ah Yue into the hall. Mu Qing knew in her heart that she must be thinking of her mother during the New Year's Festival, so she taught her to kneel under the eaves outside and bow solemnly to the southeast, and worship her mother.

Mu Qingli stood behind her, seeing her clumsy but trying to bow down solemnly, thinking of the past years, she was also sad and worried, and she wanted to cry, and couldn't help but say silently in her heart: "Daddy and Mother, at this time, you are also holding the New Year hand in hand?" Do you miss Qi Niang? Qi Niang is all fine now......" A burst of tears welled up, but it stopped at a hot chest, Du Ruhui walked out of the house and held her to her chest from behind. She felt the warmth, leaned back comfortably on his chest and shoulders, closed her eyes and forced back the tears, and when she had calmed down her grief, she turned her head and smiled at him.

When it was approaching, everyone gathered in the open space in the front yard of the second gate, and lit the dried cypress leaves in the large copper square dustpan prepared in advance, the fire jumped, and the branches burst open, which was very joyful. He Sui led the nine servants of the house to bow to Du Ruhui and Mu Qing, reciting joyful auspicious words in his mouth, Mu Qing took the heavy brocade box prepared earlier, and distributed the colorful brocade bags in the brocade box to everyone one by one. The servant who took the brocade bag thanked him again, and there was a servant woman who was a rough servant, and I don't know who taught her to thank her, and said in a loud voice: "May my mother get Lin'er as soon as possible." Mu Qing couldn't help but blush, and heard Du Ruhui chuckle a few times behind her.
