"Stop!"

At the moment of chaos at the door of the house, with this burst of scolding, everyone stopped moving, especially the guards who were about to rush up, and immediately moved out of the way on both sides in an orderly manner, and the future people let in.

With a heroic and majestic figure, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his hair is very short, but the sideburns on both sides are all white, wearing black-framed glasses, he looks calm and capable, and has a little bit of gentleness, isn't it Mu Lunyin, the son of the Mu family!

And behind Mu Lunyin, there was a young handsome man with a similar appearance to him, but it was his son Mu Tianfeng.

Mu Lunyin walked into the field with his hands on his back, glanced at Chen Mingyuan expressionlessly, turned his head and ordered, "Withdraw the guards first." ”

Mu Tianfeng nodded, raised his hand and waved it lightly, and the guards led by the flat-headed man saluted in a dignified manner, and returned to their respective posts neatly.

Yin Qingning regained his freedom, and immediately ran to Chen Mingyuan's side, staring at Mu Lunyin's father and son vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, are you okay?" ”

Chen Mingyuan didn't squeak, but took a step forward and said, "It's disturbed the peace of your land." ”

Mu Lunyin looked at him for a while, and after a long time, he shook his head and breathed a long sigh of relief, looking a little annoyed.

Thinking about it, Chen Mingyuan's persistence made him not know how to do it.

"Mingyuan!"

Suddenly, a gentle voice as crisp as a yellow warbler came out from the courtyard of the house and across the sky, and the voice was filled with infinite joy and joy!

Chen Mingyuan turned his head violently, and he couldn't care about Mu Lunyin, he rushed to the gate of the courtyard, waved his hand and tapped the wooden board, and responded in a loud voice: "Good news!" Can you hear me?! ”

"Mingyuan! I'm here! ”

The familiar crisp sound came from far to near, and after a while, accompanied by the knocking sound on the other end of the door panel, Chen Mingyuan really felt the distance from Mu Jiayin!

Chen Mingyuan's heart trembled, and his raised fist was gently pressed on the door panel, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Seven days of separation, twists and turns, gathered at this moment, has condensed too many emotions.

Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Mu Jiayin panicked and hurriedly said: "Mingyuan! Are you okay! Those people they ......"

"It's okay! I am fine! Chen Mingyuan took two deep breaths, suppressed the waves of his heart, and said, "What about you?" ”

“…… It was not good, but now it's all good. Mu Jiayin's voice is no longer calm and clear as usual, but replaced by tenderness and joy from the bottom of her heart, it seems that the scene that she has been looking forward to for a long time has been transformed into reality, her voice is a little difficult, and she said eloquently: "Finally, you didn't let me wait too long......"

yes, it's worth it.

Chen Mingyuan sighed secretly, rubbing the door panel with his palm, at this moment, he almost couldn't help but want to smash the door, hold Mu Jiayin tightly in his arms, and announce his heart to the whole world!

"Ahem!"

Just as the two of them were pouring out their hearts, Mu Lunyin coughed out of place, and when Chen Mingyuan turned his head, he bowed his head and said: "It's taken so many twists and turns, don't be in a hurry if you have something to say, accompany me to a place for a walk." ”

Chen Mingyuan didn't respond immediately, but Mu Jiayin was relieved behind the door: "Don't worry, my eldest brother is a good person and won't make things difficult for you." Suddenly, he raised his voice again, and said in a slightly teasing voice: "Brother, you all detain me here, you are embarrassed to kill them all again, right?" ”

The corners of Mu Lunyin's mouth raised, as if she wanted to laugh, but she just snorted twice and turned around with her hands behind her back.

"You're waiting for me here!"

Chen Mingyuan left a word, and followed Mu Lunyin all the way down the stone steps and continued to go up the mountain.

Yin Qingning originally wanted to follow, but seeing that Mu Tianfeng had steadily blocked the way, he had to endure it stupidly.

In the early morning of summer, the sky by the river is clear and blue, and the sea breeze mixed with the river breeze is slowly blowing, which suddenly makes people's hearts clear.

Along the way, Mu Lunyin didn't speak, and the eye-catching thing was that even though he was already over half a hundred years old, his body was very healthy, and when he walked to the top of the mountain, he was only slightly panting, and his movements were not half slow.

Finally, he came to a tomb of a good scale, took out three incense sticks from the cement shelf next to the tombstone, lit them, bent down, bowed respectfully to the tombstone three times, and inserted it into the incense burner, and said in a low voice: "You should also pay homage, and you should make a mistake for disturbing the peace of your ancestors just now." ”

Chen Mingyuan nodded, painted the gourd in the same way, took out three sticks of incense and bowed and worshipped, and when the incense was inserted, he glanced at the Junwen on the tombstone, which was the old man of the Mu family who had long passed away.

I think that the old man of the Mu family was also a prominent national powerhouse, but unfortunately suffered during the Great Revolution, which is really suffocating.

"You must hate us!"

Mu Lunyin suddenly said lightly, his eyes were still looking straight ahead, and he couldn't see from his face what kind of feelings he had when he said this, his expression was always calm and timeless.

Chen Mingyuan nodded slightly, which can be regarded as answering Mu Lunyin's question, hate is hate, there is no need for him to hide his emotions.

In fact, Chen Mingyuan doesn't care about what the Mu family thinks of himself, the reason why he hates the Mu family is that the Mu family doesn't care about the wishes of their children at all for their own interests.

When Mu Lunyin heard this, instead of having a black face, she smiled slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes.

"You are very honest and straightforward, you have been immersed in this sea for so long, but you can still be the same as you are, this is rare, no wonder Jiayin treats you differently." Mu Lunyin turned his head to look at him, and said word by word: "To be honest, everything you have done for Jiayin, I have seen it in my eyes, I can feel your sincerity to her, as her eldest brother, I want to thank you for all this you have done for Jiayin, in all fairness, I believe that it is impossible to do such a thing if you were someone else, Jiayin did not look at the wrong person, her eyes are brighter than anyone else." ”

In the eyes of most people, they may think that Chen Mingyuan's actions on this trip are really naïve and naïve, but Mu Lunyin's perspective is different, and he can see Chen Mingyuan's good intentions.

Mu Jiayin is a veritable proud daughter of the sky, like a phoenix soaring for nine days, in the past ten years, the pursuit of her family is as many as a carp across the river, it stands to reason that and Kou Beiyan is the best among the children of the family is really a good match, but this time, Mu Jiayin took the risk of disapproval, in front of everyone, forcefully rejected the proposal, and made a big joke in Sijiu City!

As a woman, it is against etiquette and decency to do such a thing, this kind of thing happens in ordinary people's homes, and it is a little unacceptable, let alone a century-old family like the Mu family, a glamorous family?

In view of this, the Mu family felt shameless and ashamed of others, so that Mu Jiayin was imprisoned!

Mu Jiayin is a pure and jade woman after all, and she is still such a proud person, but now she has become a joke for many people, and has even been criticized for having a secret relationship with outsiders, you can imagine how much damage this will cause to her reputation.

This time Chen Mingyuan was unusual, after arriving in Suzhou City, he stood stupidly at the door of Mujiayuan for three days, ordinary people thought that he was angry at the crown, but Mu Lunyin understood that Chen Mingyuan was willing to come to the door to ask for hardship, he wanted to take all the responsibility on his body, and then let the Mu family, and even the Jia family and the Kou family be angry with him, so that everyone knew that he was the culprit of this farce, so that Mu Jiayin would not be punished too much.

Mu Lunyin has understood Chen Mingyuan's style, this young man has always preferred to die rather than bend his waist and not become inflammatory, and now he is doing the opposite for the first time, which can only be said that Mu Jiayin really did not look at the wrong person, you must know that this kind of thing can never be done by any person, which not only requires a lot of courage, but also needs a kind of abandonment of personal honor and disgrace!

Now this matter has made a lot of noise, and it has also alarmed the high-level leaders, and it is difficult for others to think about it.

Taking a deep breath of mountain air, Mu Lunyin relieved the turmoil in his heart, looked at his deceased father's tombstone again, and said in a low voice: "Before my father's death, he often taught us the words on his lips, that is, 'one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither', this sentence is not only a warning to our personal, but also a warning to this family, our Mu family has a history of more than 100 years from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the present, and has today's status. Its power and glory are all based on the joys and sorrows of countless people, both its own and outsiders. ”

After a pause, he sighed a little helplessly: "So, our children and grandchildren have been instilled with the idea that for the power of the family to last for a long time, any personal sacrifice is worth it!" ”

Chen Mingyuan frowned, although he understood that Mu Lunyin was telling the truth, but he had a strong resistance to this almost paranoid family tradition in his heart!

"Being in a powerful family, although the scenery is infinite, but there are also involuntary hardships, my marriage is a political marriage, and I can't talk about happiness or happiness over the years." Mu Lunyin saw that Chen Mingyuan's collar was a little crooked by the wind, suddenly stretched out his hand, helped tidy it up, and said slowly: "Only, Jiayin is an exception, although she has been cultivated to be outstanding and extraordinary, but maybe it is because she was born without a father, and her mother and we are usually busy with affairs and lack of restraint and discipline for her, which has led to her having a rare sense of independence, so I don't want her to repeat our mistakes again, she is really very lucky to know you." ”

Chen Mingyuan's face froze slightly, and then returned to normal.

"Rest assured, during this time, Jiayin will not be blamed again." Mu Lunyin said lightly, looked at Chen Mingyuan's body for a long time, and said with a smile: "I, as a big brother, can do only this for you, and the rest has to rely on your own struggle and grasp." ”

At this point, Mu Lunyin put down his hand, with a smile on his face, with a hint of relief in it, and said: "Go back, Jiayin should wait for you in a hurry, if you don't do it, I think I'm making things difficult for you!" ”

Chen Mingyuan shook his head and chuckled: "You are a good big brother, I can see that Jiayin must also know it." ”

Mu Lunyin waved his hand and smiled, then turned his head and began to pick up the debris of the grave.

Chen Mingyuan wanted to help, but seeing that he didn't want to talk to himself anymore, he silently went down the mountain.

…………

After nightfall, the river wind suddenly became much stronger, fortunately it was the height of summer, the problem was not big, and because it was adjacent to the East China Sea, the view was quite good, a round of bright crescent moon, hanging lonely on it, swaying the light in this unpredictable world.

At the gate of the house, most of the guards had already withdrawn, leaving only a few people patrolling around, Yin Qingning sat on the stone steps and smoked a cigarette, waving his hand from time to time to disperse the mosquitoes around him, looking a little bored.

Only whispers came from time to time at the gate, adding a bit of warmth to this empty and lonely scene.

"Hey, what did my eldest brother tell you during the day, so that you still can't give up."

On the side of the door panel, through the gap, Mu Jiayin's gentle voice came, with a somewhat mocking tone, and said: "Shouldn't you go all the way through the level, and only retreat after the worst." ”

After running around for a day, Chen Mingyuan was also tired of standing, so he simply sat on the ground, chatted with her intermittently, and when he heard the words, he said: "After suffering so much, if I don't even see your face, then I won't be too bad." ”

In his heart, he couldn't help but recall Mu Lunyin's words again.

Today, he can be regarded as having seen the power of this Mu family's son.

From beginning to end, Mu Lunyin did not mention what the Mu family planned to do, let alone send Chen Mingyuan away, but unconsciously, he thoroughly analyzed the stakes of the whole matter.

Chen Mingyuan ran to Liuxia Mountain, which was already the maximum he could tolerate, if he 'got an inch' again, he had to break in, he couldn't say it, he would provoke the Mu family to rebound, and implement a new disposal plan for Mu Jiayin.

This situation is also what Chen Mingyuan doesn't want to see, Mu Jiayin is now detained here, seemingly losing her freedom, but in fact, she is far away from the eye of this turmoil, and the Mu family will no longer exert any pressure and punishment on her for the time being, and once she returns to the public eye, she and the Mu family may be involuntary again.

From the bottom of his heart, Chen Mingyuan also thinks that Mu Jiayin's seclusion here is the best way to get out of the predicament at present.

Mu Lunyin, as the elder brother, can't resist the family's decision-making, but what he can do for his sister has already been done, which is why he came to relieve Chen Mingyuan today.

Before he thanked Chen Mingyuan, it should also be out of sincerity, as he said himself, if it were not for Chen Mingyuan's active sacrifice, Mu Jiayin would have become a joke among the big families, he could really feel what a true temperament Chen Mingyuan was, and he was very supportive of Mu Jiayin's choice in his heart, but in the Mu family, his eldest son's right to speak was too little......

This may also be the reason why he acquiesced to Chen Mingyuan staying here, after all, Chen Mingyuan has already done a lot for Mu Jiayin, and he has no reason to repay virtue with resentment.

It is precisely because of this that he simply put Mu Jiayin's future in the hands of Chen Mingyuan and let him choose.

Chen Mingyuan secretly sighed, it was a pity in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that most of the Mu family's political resources were bet on the second son Mu Dingyin, with Mu Lunyin's recognition of people, as well as his wisdom and calmness, his achievements might not be under any member of the Mu family at all, but he didn't expect that the real pattern in the Mu family was Mu Lunyin, the mediocre eldest son who was not obvious!

"Hey!" Suddenly, Mu Jiayin called out crisply, "Are you listening?" ”

"Listen to it." Chen Mingyuan changed his posture and leaned against the door panel, although he was still blocked from her, he could clearly hear her voice and breathing, and at the same time constantly imagined her smile when she spoke.

Mu Jiayin was silent for a while, and said, "Let me ask you, what would you do if you couldn't wait for the result at my doorstep?" ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled dumbly and said: "What else can I do, I can only withdraw first, I can't really wait for Cheng Wang's wife, right?" ”

Mu Jiayin snorted unhappily and muttered, "I really have no conscience, I'm ready to be lonely for a lifetime." ”

"Who's to say I didn't?" Chen Mingyuan smiled leisurely: "I heard your niece say that you have sent a bold statement of 'Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, but still alive', I was thinking at that time, if I can't find you this time, I will simply resign and retire, become a monk, and a nun with a monk, is right." ”

Mu Jiayin chuckled and said angrily: "You can figure it out, I just scared my mother and them with my mouth and asked me to cut my hair, it is better to die...... However, I knew that you thought so, so I simply asked you to be anxious and see how you shaved your head. ”

"There's no chance." Chen Mingyuan pretended to be sorry and sighed: "There is such a flower-like ****** in the world, even if I really become a monk, I have to return to the world immediately, otherwise I won't even be able to see the Buddha." ”

"It's obvious that your six roots are not pure, don't use the Buddha as an excuse!" After saying this, Mu Jiayin ate and laughed again, and the laughter rippled in the night like flowing water, like a wonderful rhyme outside the sky, touching people's heartstrings everywhere.

Between laughter and laughter, Chen Mingyuan sniffed the dark fragrance floating in his veins, his heart was confused, thinking of Mu Jiayin's Yingying laughter, all kinds of moving things, I only felt that if I could marry her as a wife and accompany her for a long time, it would be the most blessed thing in life.

Mu Jiayin laughed enough, and said that she was tired, leaned on the door panel on the other side, and said softly: "Mingyuan, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if it comes out empty?" ”

Chen Mingyuan turned his face sideways, trying to see her close face through the gap, although it still failed due to the dark environment and the tight door panel, the voice on his mouth was still firm and persistent: "I have thought about it, but it is not worth mentioning!" ”

Mu Jiayin smiled, the heartfelt joy revealed at that moment, like the deep valley orchid blooming in the dark night, in the clear eyes of the blue water, it was even more dazzling and dazzling, she put her jade hand on the door panel, and said dreamily: "Mingyuan, I will never fail you in this life, heaven and earth can be learned, this heart is unswerving!" ”

The moon is bright, the stars are starry, and the night is vast.
