A term of jealousy brews deep resentment

Not long after going out of the city, Cuiyi surrounded me, the ground was full of delicate green, and the branches bloomed early in pairs, which was very beautiful. Mu Qing had no intention of enjoying the scenery. The carriage stopped by the Dongtiao River, Ah Liu stepped forward to help her get out of the car, and after a cursory glance, several cars were already parked, and several coachmen were taking care of the horses pulling the carts, and unloading the household goods on the carts, among which there was another car engraved with the Gu family crest, thinking that Gu Erniang arrived first.

By the turbulent stream, the first to arrive set up a barrier curtain, set up a wide long table, the servants put wine berries and vegetables on the table, spread down the seats, double white glazed bottles, gold buckle jade cups, secret color plates, and even eight treasure glass cups, filled a long table.

Because of the ascending matter, Yu Li should follow everyone's congratulations, and drink according to the water in the curtain with other gentlemen, talking about the past and the present. Mu Qingshi had no intention of having fun, and sent Ah Liu to laugh with the other maids, while he avoided everyone and walked alone to the upper reaches of Dongtiao Creek, where the reeds had not yet fluffed, and the feet were full of camellia flowers, and the trampled camellia and in the soil, exuding a faint fragrance, like the smell left on her hands after the mother turned over the camellia eggs in the morning. At this time, I smelled it, my heart was sore and astringent, and tears unconsciously overflowed my eyes.

"Why do you see Qi Niang like this every time you see pear blossoms with rain? I didn't know that Qi Niang was a sentimental little lady. ”

Someone walked up to her and teased her. As soon as he heard this voice, Mu Qing hurriedly wiped away the tears on his cheeks, stood up and saluted. Du Ruhui didn't ask her to salute, and hurriedly helped her up. "But what's the difficulty?"

Mu Qing didn't know where to start, so he only shook his head. Seeing that she didn't want to say, Du Ruhui didn't ask more, and only said, "If there is something difficult, and Qi Niang can trust it, you can come to me." Just don't be so gloomy anymore. When Mu Qing's mood calmed down, he said again: "Today is your birthday, how about I give you a gift?" Please also ask Qi Niang to call Ah Liu first. ”

Sent someone to find Ah Liu, the two waited for a while by the river, Du Ruhui told some interesting stories about the past when he was in Chang'an Duling, the Shangsi Festival stepped on the spring, "Every month around the moon, by the Qujiang River, the princes and nobles brought courtesans and servants to feast and play, and the common surnames were also there to have fun with their families. ”

After a pause, he saw Mu Qing looking at him seriously, his eyebrows and eyes were clear, and the past events he said evoked some other memories, so he looked at the turbulent stream, and said slowly: "Later, I became a captain of Fuyang, and in the first year of Yue, I also traveled with my family, but she didn't like it, and she was ashamed to laugh with other sisters and girlfriends. I know that she was the eldest daughter in the big gate, and she was more arrogant. In the past, the sisters were all worthy of the high court, but I refused the arrangement of the family, and was only willing to use my own strength to stand out, and the official rank was low, which made her lose her luster among the sisters, and I thought that I had insulted her, and I had lost her. Since then, he has never deliberately set foot in the green. If it weren't for Qi Niang's invitation, I'm afraid I haven't seen ** Mingyan for five or six years. ”

When he said the last sentence, his eyes burned into Mu Qing's eyes, and he saw that she lost her mind for a while, and she no longer had the shyness she had before, she raised her head and smiled faintly: "Mr. Du doesn't have to be sad, Mr. is different from that kind of Qi Niang, Qi Niang seems that in the future, she will definitely be going to replace the king but the world is in trouble, but it is that mother who misdistinguishes Shi Yu." Mu Qing's tone was soft and glutinous, but he spoke firmly, as if he was confirming his decision.

Seeing Ah Liu coming from afar, Du Ruhui got up and smiled, "I will definitely live up to Qi Niang's insight." Let's go, it's time to receive gifts. With that, he took Mu Qing and Ah Liu to the back of the mountain. Walked to a secluded place away from everyone and raised his finger, "Look, do you recognize the man in front of you?" ”

There was a man tied to the thick tree in front of him, and there were two servants guarding him, one was Du Ruhui's coachman Ada, and the other was Du Qi, a personal servant who served him in his daily life. Before Mu Qing could see the person who was tied up, he heard Ah Liu exclaim on the side, "It's him!" The person who came to deliver the word on the night Qi Niang fell into the water was him! ”

Mu Qing hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked, "Ah Liu, do you really see it?" ”

Aliu looked at him fixedly, "It can't be wrong." ”

The two guards saluted their Ah Lang and Mu Qing, and then stepped aside. The little guy tied to the tree saw Du Ruhui, and hurriedly cried and said urgently: "Ah Lang, Ah Lang, everything is ordered by Gu Jianiang, I was just begging for a bite to eat, she is the master, don't dare to disobey her orders, I still have an old mother, wife and children to support at home, please forgive me this time." ”

Du Ruhui didn't look at him, and said lightly: "You will tell you what you know carefully, and you must not hide it." ”

"Ah, yes, yes." The little guy was busy, stabilized his mind, and said: "The villain is just waiting for the carriage and horses, on the day of the delivery, I drove the car to send my family Ah Lang and Erniang to Xingyun Temple to watch the house, and when I arrived at the place, the villain waited by the car. After waiting for a short time, the people around Erniang came to summon, saying that there was something important, I followed the person to wait in a private room with no one in Xinuan, after Erniang arrived, I asked me if I could get my grandfather's Qi Niang, the villain did not go inside, but I still saw a few times, remember the face. Later, Erniang taught me how to use words to lure Ah Liu away, how to push the crowd, and squeeze Qi Niang to the gap in the fence by the river. Speaking of this, the little girl was frightened, and said faster: "The villain never thought of harming Qi Niang's life, Er Niang ordered to push Qi Niang down the river and then ignore me, find a place to avoid, for fear of being recognized, someone on the other side of the river will rescue, just to bluff her." But I never thought that Erniang would watch coldly and no one would help her. ”

"She wants you to do such evil things, and you know you can't do it, why do you want to go? But what did it promise you? Mu Qing asked coldly.

"There was no promise. Erniang is already in a position to stake, the villain's wife is sprinkled in her yard, if she disobeys her orders, I am afraid that she will be developed if she takes her mistakes casually. It's really helpless. ”

Mu Qing felt that it was reasonable when he heard it, he did have his difficulties, and seeing that he was in tears, it didn't seem like he was being deceived, so he softened his heart and lowered his tone, "Why does she hate me so much?" ”

The little guy was anxious to make meritorious service, and hurriedly answered: "I heard the women and maids in her courtyard chew their tongues once or twice, it seems to be related to that Yu Ah Lang, and I hate Qi Niang for being kind to that Ah Lang since she was a child, and she is protected by the elders. A few years ago, someone mentioned that Qi Niang and Yu Ah Lang were good matches, just waiting for Qi Niang and Lu. Only this sentence provoked Erniang to lift the courtyard, beat and scolded the slave maid, smashed the basin and slammed the stool, and made a fuss until the fourth watch. ”

It's for this. Mu Qing let out a long sigh from his chest, frowned and lowered his head, looking annoyed and at a loss, while Du Ruhui on the side looked at her deeply and said, "This is Qi Niang's family matter, since I tied him up, I will hand it over to you, and ask Qi Niang to dispose of this groom by herself." ”

Mu Qing took a few steps forward, and said to the little guy: "Today I forgive you, just if this matter has never happened, from now on you can no longer be confused, never dare to do evil for others again, if you do it again, I will not spare it." Do you understand? ”

The little guy sang loudly and thanked. Du Ruhui called Du Qi, loosened the rope, and sent him away. Mu Qing asked suspiciously, "How does Mr. Du know that it is that person who has been tied up again?" ”

Du Ru smiled obscurily and did not answer. Du Qi couldn't help but say: "My family Ah Lang has been planning for a while at this time, since he saved his mother from the river on the day he hit, he felt that something was wrong, and it was presumed that it was instigated by the second mother of the Gu family, only I let out the words, saying that my mother dragged a handful when she fell into the water, and dragged down a thing of the person who pushed her into the water. As a result, the Gu family's second mother really ran away with a groom. When I asked about it, I recruited everything. ”

Du Qi jumped up and down, and traced it vividly for a while, and Aliu laughed so hard that his waist bent. Here Mu Qing thanked him again and took Ah Liu back to the jubilant crowd.

Back to the curtain, the banquet has been removed, there is no place to find, only the ladies are left to chat, laughing and laughing, the jingle of the hairpin ring and the aroma of fat powder scattered, more intoxicating than the spring breeze. Mu Qing thought that one day, all the imminent tricky things would be taken care of, and he would definitely take a good sniff of the smell of spring, collect a handful of soft and pink peach petals, and sprinkle them all over the ground. After thinking about some beautiful things, he took a deep breath, smiled on his face, walked into the curtain, greeted the elders and sisters of the clan one by one, and knelt down on the long table to laugh together.

Halfway through, it began to rain. The servants hurriedly came to collect the curtain of the barrier, and the long desk sat with all the things, and the carriages and horses were prepared, and the ladies were carried by their respective maids and servants and sat in the carriage and were about to return to the city. Mu Qing walked to the front of the car and saw that Gu Erniang's car was next to his car, so he deliberately slowed down.

Gu Erniang came from behind, and was about to get into the car, when she saw Mu Qing, she stopped, took off the power fence, and smiled on her face, "I should have said hello to Qi Niang today, but I didn't see it for most of the day, but I happened to see it here." Why don't you share the same car? ”

Mu Qing sneered in his heart, and said secretly, the news is well-informed. A smile bloomed on his face, "I don't know where the joy comes from." It's Erniang, it seems that a good thing is being discussed. Did you invite me to join the car to inquire about this? There are also girls who have thin faces. ”

Her pretended to be a boudoir-like smile, hating the roots of Erniang's teeth, afraid that she would really want to be in the same car with her, so she hurriedly took two steps forward to block in front of the car, hooked her water chestnut-like lips, bit her back molars and smiled: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier, it's not easy to walk, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city gate if it's late, so I'm going to take the first step." With that, he turned around and got into the car.

"It's really difficult, Erniang should be careful, don't take the fork in the road, and then find the original, I'm afraid it will really delay entering the city." When Mu Qing turned around, he whispered, and he heard her figure for a moment, but he didn't look back, and went straight to the car.

On the way back to the city, Aliu was extremely excited, and the day had stimulated her nerves since early in the morning. At this time, he was sitting in the car with Mu Qing, and it was difficult to hide his joy. started from the pair of red gold bracelets that Yu Li gave in the morning, and went straight to the big gift given by Du Ruhui. "But I don't know how Du Ah Lang found the murderer, although he doesn't say much on weekdays, he is actually a first-class smart and capable." Aliu exclaimed.

Mu Qing suddenly replied to the question: "Ah Liu, in your opinion, how is Senior Brother Yu compared to Mr. Du?" ”

Ah Liu really thought about it seriously and said, "Yu Ah Lang is even better in appearance. In terms of family background, the surname Yu has declined after all, and Du Alang is still superior. When it comes to treating Qi Niang, no one can compare to Yu Alang. Speaking of this, Ah Liu remembered Gu Erniang's incident angrily, and frowned tightly, "A wise and untainted person like Du Alang, if he really hired Erniang, it wouldn't be a bad practice." But if Erniang doesn't settle down, wouldn't her heart be all hanging on Yu Alang, I'm afraid that she will use some tricks again......" said and felt a chill on the back of her back. Speaking of viciousness, this mother is not very old, and her clever smile is full of murderous intent.
