Chapter 31: Promise
Mu Rui knew that Bai Xiyun was not without affection for him, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have guarded him for days and nights. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info just now looking at Master Gong's sly expression, he could only nod his head stubbornly.
That night, Master Gong revealed the above meaning a little, and told Mu Rui that it was very likely to stay in office for half a year, although it was not as prosperous as the capital Chang'an, but it was just expedient, and I hope he can understand. And within a few days, the holy decree sent by the palace came over, and in this regard, the news of staying for more than half a year has been confirmed, and everyone is very happy to stop, and they are really reluctant to get along with each other on weekdays, so that they are really reluctant to have this good-tempered and capable adult.
Bai Xiyun's side has also undergone some changes, after almost two months of cold relationship, she feels that she should be able to slowly forget about Mu Rui, just wait for him to leave, cry bitterly, and then be able to go back to the past. And now, every day when she makes medicinal herbs and reads medical books, Mu Rui always sits next to her and looks at her, she glares at him angrily, he smirks at her, sometimes he is busy with business, he just keeps things on his body and deals with affairs by her side, she wants to dodge, but the medicine hall can't be without manpower, where can she hide. originally thought that it would be good for him to leave, but as soon as the news of his six-year renewal came out in the past few days, everyone cheered, and no one noticed her tangled thoughts. I was glad that he could be here for half a year longer, but I also felt that half a year here would be of no use. And she found that Mu Rui has been really sticky to her recently, not to mention the cold and warm on weekdays, and to follow her regardless of her injured body, she is not cold-blooded and ruthless, and she can say that she forgets it, but she should not believe him.
Mu Rui wrote two letters to his family, one was to his parents to report safety, and by the way, to appease the two old people, so that they don't have to worry. The other is to his wife, he has never received a letter from Mei Sujin in this year, he used to write back and forth every month, but there has never been a reply, all like a stone sinking into the sea. thought something was going on at home, so I hurriedly inquired with my colleagues, only to find out that since he left, Mei Sujin packed up her things and went back to her parents' house to live. Since then, Mu Rui has not written again, although he is a person who can give, he does not want his sincerity to be trampled on. Thinking of this, Mu Rui smiled bitterly, this is fine, and it saves me from writing one more letter to my father-in-law.
After getting along for a month, Mu Rui and Bai Xiyun have eased up a lot, reading books and chatting together on weekdays, but both of them have a tacit understanding to avoid that unpleasant topic.
During the day that day, a young man ran over to Mu Rui with a letter and said, "Master Mu, then Yuan Zhu, let me bring you a letter from home!" After speaking, he looked at Mu Rui directly and stretched out his hand.
Bai Xiyun next to him looked at Mu Rui, who was stunned, funny, took out a few candies from the drawer next to him and gave them to the child, and this was the end of the matter.
Mu Rui coughed embarrassedly and asked, "How can you have candy?" ”
"I'm a medicine hall, there will always be children with children when I come to see a doctor, in order to keep them from making noise, I made some hawthorn candy, do you want to eat it."
"Uh, no, I'm afraid of sour ......"
Mu Rui waved his hand, looked at the letter sent, and said, "It must be a reply from my father and mother, but this time it's strange, what kind of food does my mother like to cook on weekdays, let them bring it, why is it not there this time?" ”
As she spoke, she opened the letter and began to read it, Bai Xiyun didn't go over, she still looked at her medical book. After a while, Mu Rui didn't speak, she forgot to go over and noticed a strange stiffness in his face. Bai Xiyun couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" Is something going on at home? ”
"Nope. It's just ......"
"But what? Looking at the way you are spitting and spitting, didn't this letter be written by your family? ”
"Sort of...... Mu Rui thought for a moment, and finally handed over the thin piece of paper.
In fact, there were only a few short sentences on the letter, "Mu Ruiwufu, Wen Jun is injured, his heart is sad, but there are many things at home, and he can't leave, I hope my husband takes care!" ”
Bai Xiyun's heart was sour when she saw it, but she pretended to be relaxed and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Mu's handwritten letter, no wonder Lord Mu cherishes it so much!" As he spoke, he turned and left.
Mu Rui couldn't let her go, he figured it out when he handed over the letter, escaping is never the solution to the problem, even if they can keep their mouths shut about Mei Sujin in Lintong, but what about the future, will they have to pretend that there is no such person in the future? Although today's incident may make Bai Xiyun angry, I have to say that it is an opportunity to spread everything out and make it clear.
Mu Rui grabbed Bai Xiyun and hugged her from behind who wanted to break free, "Xiyun, calm down, listen to me, okay?" ”
Bai Xiyun didn't want to hear anything, she only shouted, "You let go of me!" ”
"Listen to me this time, just for a while, okay?" As he spoke, he turned Bai Xiyun around and made her look at herself, "Xiyun, we have to face it!" ”
Bai Xiyun couldn't break free, and she slowly calmed down in her heart, yes, there is nothing to escape.
"Say it!"
"Her name is Mei Sujin, she is my wife in Chang'an City, and her father and I are colleagues, and when we first met, we were both satisfied, and then we got engaged."
"Hmph, Master Mu is really fast!"
"Xi Yun...... I also wanted to treat her well, but she was disrespectful to me from the moment she entered the door, picking on me and my father! If it's not good for me, I can still bear it, but my father and mother still have to bring her tea and water on weekdays, what do you want me to do? Helplessly, I reasoned with her, but she ridiculed me for just trying to cling to her father, yelling at me, and being sarcastic and mocking at every turn...... Helplessly, I can only work hard in my own official position, not only to prove to her that I am not unproductive, but also because I want to get rid of her...... There is no love between me and her for a long time, I just want you, Xiyun! ”
Bai Xiyun would be sarcastic at first, but then she was silent. Who can blame? What can be blamed? In the time when spring goes to autumn, is the easiest thing to change is people's hearts? It can only be said that the two people are not suitable, but they have become a family in desperation.
"I didn't expect her to write from ...... suddenly" As he spoke, Mu Rui suddenly thought of something, picked up the piece of paper and smelled it, and said to Bai Xiyun excitedly, "Bamboo leaf fragrance!" This is Wen Chengge's ink, this is his father's favorite ink, and he must have forced her to write it! ”
Bai Xiyun smiled at him, Mu Rui thought she didn't believe it, and became anxious, "Really! You ask Master Gong, he usually loves calligraphy and painting, and he knows it! ”
Bai Xiyun said to him seriously, "I believe in you, and I will believe in you in the future!" ”
"Xiyun ......"
"I believe in you, and I am willing to face the future with you, what she doesn't cherish, I'll cherish it?"
Mu Rui didn't speak, just hugged Bai Xiyun tightly. The two magpies flew happily to the low tree next to them, chirping, as if they were also happy for the two young men. And that night, Mu Rui wrote a letter to his parents, informing him of the news that he was going to marry Bai Xiyun, and wrote down the cause and effect, all the reasons clearly. As for Mei Sujin, he didn't want to pay too much attention to it, not to mention, his current official position was not stable, and in order to protect Bai Xiyun, he didn't want Mei Sujin to know too much about the situation here.
The two eventually became married, the next day Mu Rui and the palace master chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, although it can not be compared with Mei Sujin's marriage at that time, but the dowry still made the people around envious, he also personally prepared the marriage Geng post, to that day, the familiar people around are mostly friends of the two people, everyone is looking forward to this day, so laughing and playing for a while, then no more to Mu Rui wine, even so, it was enough to toss for most of the night, the guests dispersed. Although he drank a lot of wine, Mu Rui's eyes were still bright, and he walked step by step to the room where the red candle was lit. Finally, finally, until this day, fortunately the two of them did not give up, fortunately they were injured at the time, but fortunately...... It's not too late.
In the days to come, the two of them were happy and carefree every day, but people changed Bai Xiyun's title to "Mrs. Mu", she would blush at first, and later, if someone called her "Doctor Bai" again, she would feel strange.
It's just that the happy time is always short-lived, and in a blink of an eye, the days of half a year have passed, and the day of returning to Chang'an City has also come.
From Lintong to Chang'an, it was only a short journey of seven days, but in the past year and a half, Mei Sujin has never been here once, but now it's okay, Mu Rui looked at the woman in front of him, quiet and indifferent, looking at her, he felt happy in his heart. The promotion order a few days ago has been issued, and the emperor still remembers that he was injured, so he is not just the deputy envoy of the left inspector at the beginning, but the main envoy! Inspector Zuo, who is in the second rank, will not dare to bully Yun'er when he sees him in the future. Thinking of this, it said to Bai Xiyun, "Yun'er, you go back to your father's house first, this time you go back to Chang'an City, you must enter the palace first, I am afraid that Mei Sujin will bully you, so ......"
"I should go to see my in-laws first, but I can't never see her all the time, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Mu Rui persuaded Bai Xiyun for a long time, but she was determined to go to the house first, but Mu Rui had no choice but to agree to her first.
Now is the season of April flowers, all the way out of Lintong, full of wildflowers, and crooked willows, although Mu Rui and Bai Xiyun want to go back to Chang'an, but also feel that the road is too fast and has negative scenery, yes, in the sight of what beautiful scenery there is, the two will also get off the car to watch for a long time, the seven-day journey is full of ten days.
