The four-wheeled carriage collided with the scattered stones on the ground, making a rhythmic sound all the time, and the bumpy carriage shook and shook. Duanyue www.biquge.info curled up in a ball, curled up in the corner of the carriage without saying a word, and sat cross-legged by his side, he closed his eyes for a while.

The curtain of the carriage window was lifted, and Duanyue turned her head slightly to look at the light that came in. Xu Xiachu's big face occupied all the space in the window, and the carriage instantly darkened again. "Chenzhou is not far from Chang'an, and it will take about half a day to arrive, so I can go home for dinner." He said with a smile on his face. His eyes accidentally touched Duanyue, and he hesitated, he could understand Duanyue's parting sorrow at the moment, and naturally understood her displeasure. Xu Xiachu lowered the curtain, and heard the sound of horses' hooves moving away from outside through the carriage, but the curtain was lifted again after a while.

Xu Xiachu put her hand in and stretched it out in front of Duanyue. Duanyue glanced at it lifelessly, Xu Xiachu was holding two bright red fruits in her hand, which were round and cute. "Eat?"

Duanyue shook her head, and then buried her head in her knees, trying to disconnect from the world. Xu Xiachu was embarrassed and didn't know whether to change it or not, and took it back, so she could only put it there at a loss. "Eat. I heard you're from Broken Leaf City, so you don't have any of these fruits there, do you? ”

"Although Shattered Leaf City is all sand, it's not as miserable as you think." Duanyue buried her head in her knees, and her voice was very dull, but stubborn. She was angered by Xu Xiachu's words, and she inexplicably wanted to fight with him. "We have a lot of sand dates and sea buckthorn there!"

"Oh!" Xu Xiachu gently threw the small fruit in his hand in front of Duanyue, and put down the curtain as soon as he could. "There's no harm in tasting it." He whispered as if talking to himself, but his voice was controlled just enough for Duanyue to hear. Duanyue raised her head suddenly, and her eyes rolled slightly. Isn't that what it says to me?

The small round fruit rolled to Duanyue's feet with the bump of the carriage. She picked them up and placed them in the palm of her hand. The cold touch is as if it is not a fruit pinched, but two moist and smooth night pearls. "Brother, are you eating?" Duanyue took out one and handed it to the Pheasant, who looked up and shook his head. "No, it's just a child's thing."

Duanyue glared at the wind angrily, what kind of child's stuff, isn't this laughing at me for being naïve? She turned her back hard, and stuffed the small fruit into her mouth angrily, only to chew it and spit it on her hand, grinning and resisting with all her body. "Shhh What sour! Duanyue was like a puppy, constantly sticking out her tongue. The sour taste that spreads from the tip of the tongue leads to more than saliva in the mouth.

The corners of the wind rose up, and he laughed out loud as if he had succeeded in a treacherous plan. "This is called Tangtangzi, it is very sour, and people use it to make tea and drink it." The sly light in his eyes showed that the wind had known about it for a long time. Although he often lives in a border area like Broken Leaves, he has not read less books, and he naturally understands more.

Duanyue angrily threw Tang Tangzi out of the window, leaned on the carriage with his hands, and fell asleep upside down.

The voices of people came from the distance, the lights of the trance shone through the curtains, and the carriage shone and flickered. Duanyue was sleepy-eyed, she got up half-asleep, she rubbed her eyes and looked at the wind. "Where is this?"

"It's time to Chang'an." The wind lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and said softly.

Xu Xiachu, who was riding on the side, heard the conversation between the two at the tip of his ear, and he said with a hearty smile. "When you arrive in the inner city of Chang'an, you will arrive at Murong Mansion in a few streets."

Duanyue knelt in the carriage, lying by the window and looking at the scene outside. The streets are bustling with people, dressed in various colors. The girls are all painted with elaborate makeup, and the high combs of their hair are very good-looking; The men are chic and neat, either the suave of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, or the grace of the literati and scholars.

She saw the prosperity of Chang'an, and it was really as the storyteller said. On both sides of the driveway are small stalls selling all sorts of items. From snacks and jewelry, to calligraphy and painting live birds, as long as you want to buy something, you can find it by walking around this roadside stall. Large red lanterns hang high at the entrances of every liquor store, inn, and shop, and the warm light illuminates the surroundings as if it were daytime. Duanyue's eyes didn't know whether it was the light of the reflected lantern or the brilliance of excitement. Murong Chui looked at Duanyue with a magical expression on his face and smiled kindly. "This is the most ordinary Chang'an, if it is a New Year's holiday, it will be even more beautiful."

In contrast, the perennial wind and sand and emptiness and loneliness of Broken Leaf City cannot be compared with Chang'an. As if she couldn't even see it, Duanyue looked around at the street, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva in her throat.

As the carriage moved forward little by little, there began to be fewer people. Xu Xiachu explained that this is because the proximity to the residence is far from the market, so there are fewer people.

At last the carriage stopped with a long "hoo" of the horse, as if it was joyful to know that it had accomplished its mission. Duanyue poked her head out without scruples, and saw that the car was parked at the door of a huge and magnificent house, and there were more than 20 red lanterns hanging on the façade alone, illuminating the door. She struggled to raise her head, her neck bent to the maximum. In the center of the door of the house, a black-brown plaque is hung high, and a golden inscription says "Murong Mansion" on the calm and heavy plaque. Duanyue's eyes straightened, she didn't realize that she was surprised and forgot to close her mouth, she glanced at the plaque and immediately turned her head to look at Murong Chui, her eyes seemed to say, "This is your mansion?" ”

Murong Trai nodded at Duanyue, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the tall horse under the seat turned sharply and stopped, and Murong Trai jumped down, his movements were smooth. Immediately, the first few family members of Murong Mansion who had been waiting for a long time greeted them in broken steps, leading the horses of the three people. There were also some people who bowed down to the side of the carriage, and there was a small servant who was responsible for lifting the sedan curtain, and another who ran all the way to the carriage with a small bench and put it down, lowered his head and stretched out his hand, meaning to help the two of them get out of the car.

As soon as Duanyue leaned out of the carriage, the little guy quickly took her hand, giving Duanyue a support point. This made Duanyue a little uncomfortable, she jumped out of the car hastily, and the wind also got out of the car behind her, he was not frightened by Murong Mansion's magnanimity, and his expression was as calm as usual. He looked at it, knowing it was his new abode.

Xu Lin and Xu Xiachu said goodbye and returned to their mansion. Duanyue and the others followed behind Murong Chui, listening to him introduce a huge mansion.

The luxury in the house made Duanyue's eyes widen, and the countless houses and the paths that had been forking in made her dazzled. With such a big house, won't you get lost while walking? Murong Chui's footsteps stopped in front of the first room, and the maid at the door saluted the three of them, and said in a sweet voice, "See the general." ”

"Xiaoyue lives here, just say what you need." Duanyue looked at this room, and couldn't wait to go in and have a look.

"You won't be scared at night if you live alone." The wind is ridiculing Duanyue.

Duanyue hurriedly retorted. "Of course not!"

Murong Trai saw the harmonious relationship between the brother and sister and smiled with relief. He couldn't help but think of General Shen, who had passed away, and his nose was slightly sour. Brother Shen, Xiaofeng and Xiaoyue live very well with me, and you can rest assured in the Heavenly Spirit. He sighed lightly, controlled his expression, and smiled at the wind. "Xiao Yue, don't worry if you live here. Xiaofeng, I have something to tell you. Yan Feng nodded, and quickly disappeared into the path following Murong Chui's footsteps.

Duanyue didn't miss her brother's figure at all, and jumped up happily and went into the house.

The room was large and divided into two parts by a curtain. Part of it is a reception place: there is a round table, and the edges of the table are carved with flowers, plants, insects and birds, as if you can eat two more bites at this table. There are four round stools on the side of the table, all of which are also finely carved. Leaning against the wall, there was a large solid wood shelf with a book on it, and Duanyue didn't want to read it. There are also some gaps with vase decorations. The other part is the bedroom: a carved wooden bed, the mattress and pillows in it can be seen to be newly replaced, and you can feel the warmth of the sun to the touch. There was a wardrobe against the wall next to the bed, and Murong Chui had already prepared Duanyue's clothes, all of which were the best styles in Chang'an selected according to the little girl's thoughts. Facing the wardrobe is the combing table. Although the current Duanyue is not needed, all kinds of utensils are readily available. The drawers were full of jewelry, and the golden light made Duanyue swallow another mouthful of saliva.

She stood in the middle of the room, looking around the room, and couldn't get enough of it. Finally, his eyes skimmed to the maid standing at the door, tilting her head and being very puzzled. "Who are you?"

The maid was very frightened by the sudden question, and quickly replied. "The slave maid is called Cuiguo, and she was sent by the general to serve the young lady." Duanyue thought about it, which big family would not have a personal girl waiting for her. She took a closer look at the emerald fruit. The face is still immature, and it can be seen that it is not much older than Duanyue. The playful double bun looks very pleasing to the eye.

Duanyue leaned in front of Cuiguo and said with a smile. "Will you serve me from now on?" Cuiguo nodded, and then immediately echoed softly. "It is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve the young lady. I don't know how many people want to be a maid for Miss. ”

"Huh? Is it" Duanyue frowned and thought, is she so sought-after? Why does everyone want to be my maid?

Cuiguo hid her face and smiled. "Miss doesn't know, although the general is nearly thirty years old, he has never started a family, and there is no one else living in this Murong Mansion. Now that the young lady and the son have moved in, the relationship must be unusual. ”

Duanyue scratched her head, she didn't know what to say to Cuiguo. "Hmm...... General Murong is my uncle. ”

"Ah, that's no wonder!" Cuiguo was shocked. "I said that there must be a blood relationship, otherwise the general would not care."

Duanyue pursed her lips, knowing that this girl was thinking too much, but there was no way to explain it for a while, so she shrugged her shoulders and stopped.
