Rong Zheng was lying in the tent, with bursts of aches all over his body.

She cursed in her heart: "I don't know how to be temperate at all." She looked to the side, and it was empty. Last night's qiē was like an empty dream.

Rong Zheng shouted: "Autumn words! ”

Soon a maid came in, but it was not the autumn words that came in but the floating cui.

Rong Zheng came to his senses when he saw her, and said, "I forgot about Qiu Ci's night duty last night." What about the uncle? ”

Fu Cui said with a smile: "After the uncle got up early and practiced a set of swords, he went to the study. "Mu Xuan's rule is to get up early to practice swords, which is said to be a habit developed in the past 20 years.

"What time is it?"

Fu Cui replied, "It's almost right." ”

Rong Zheng was shocked, why was it so late in his heart. Look at the sky outside, the sun is already shining all over the yard. Busy going to the ground, he complained: "It's so late, and you don't wake me up early." ”

Fu Cui smiled: "When the uncle got up, he told us not to disturb grandma and let you sleep a little longer." He also asked the maid who was guarding outside to come in and serve Rong Zheng to freshen up and dress.

When Rong Zheng sat in front of the dressing table, he saw that the box was gone. Xindao Mu Xuan must have gone to the study to read the last letter left by Cui Shangzhou.

Ruyi opened the wardrobe and chose a set of exquisite and gorgeous dresses for Rong Zheng. skillfully pulled a high bun for Rong Zheng and wore the golden hairpin full of ponds.

"Is it okay to dress up like this?"

Ruyi smiled: "What's wrong, it's rare for the uncle to come back, he is dressed up beautifully, and the uncle likes it too." ”

Powdered and greased.

Rong Zheng looked at the glamorous person in the mirror, and said in his heart that he was more radiant than in the past. She smiled in satisfaction.

After getting dressed, Rong Zheng went to Tangli study.

The door of the study was wide open, she stepped into the threshold, saw Mu Xuan's figure, and shouted: "Junhua!" ”

Still no one answered, and the heart wondered where he was going early in the morning. I saw that the box containing the letter was still on the bookcase, but the letter was not inside. At this moment, a small guy who is responsible for cleaning the study came out from the back.

"Grandma, uncle has already gone out."

Rong Zheng remembered that Mu Xuan said yesterday that he was going to worship Cui Shangzhou, and it seemed that he went to Cui's house. She looked down at the dress, and said that no one appreciated it when she finally dressed up. Here I went to the Splendid Temple again.

The county lord of Duanhui is waiting for the two pots of flowers she has raised, and is pruning the branches with bamboo scissors.

"You look good today."

Rong Zheng blushed and said, "It's all Ruyi's little hoof's idea, and I am forced to wear it like this." ”

Duan Hui smiled: "Is there anything bad, I look at it very well." You can't overstate how you dress when you're young. Besides, you are already beautiful, and once you dress up well, it will be even more difficult to take your eyes off. ”

"County Lord, don't laugh at me."

Duanhui smiled and said, "You're still shy." Yesterday, Junhua told me to go back to the house tomorrow, and you dressed up like today. I just look good. ”

Rong Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Tomorrow...... Going into the house tomorrow? ”

"Yes, it's rare for Junhua to come back, so he should always go back and say hello. Come back after having lunch, I don't want to stay longer. Duan Hui thought that Rong Zheng was afraid of the concubine and the princess, and patted her hand gently.

Rong Zheng lowered his head, clenched a piece of silk handkerchief in his hand, and became more and more uneasy in his heart. What should she do if she meets that enemy in the house by chance? Since that incident, she never wanted to see Mu Jing again, as far as she could. She hid this from Mu Xuan and the county lord, and it was difficult to talk about it. Not only Mu Jing, but she would also be embarrassed when she saw Mu Ying. As soon as this thing is shaken out, needless to say, it will definitely set off a storm. Mu Xuan, he finally got closer to home, did he have to break the peace like this? But Mu Jing's face is too hateful!

"Zheng, what's wrong with you?" Duan Hui shook Rong Zheng's arm, and it took a long time for Rong Zheng to come back to his senses, glanced at Duan Hui in a trance, and asked in a trance: "County Lord, what did you say?" ”

"Hey, I've been calling you for a long time, and you haven't reacted at all. Is it a disease? Duan Hui touched Rong Zheng's forehead again, it wasn't hot at all.

Rong Zheng said with a face full of shame: "I'm fine, I'm just a little distracted." ”

Duan Hui stared at her a few times, feeling that something was wrong with Rong Zheng today. He also said secretly, the young husband and wife reunited after a long absence, and they couldn't help but be affectionate at night, Rong Zheng was embarrassed to say that she was not easy to ask when she was the eldest sister, and said with a smile: "If you are not feeling well, go and rest, and eat dinner together." Junhua likes to eat a pot in Huixianlou, and I will ask people to order one when I go back. ”

Rong Zheng responded indifferently, and he didn't sit for long before leaving.

Back in the Qingyin Pavilion was a little bored, sitting under the window and watching two sparrows fight in the yard. But I can't calm down in my heart for a long time, or I won't get better tomorrow if I pretend to be sick. But as soon as she said that she was sick, they would immediately ask for a doctor, and she would definitely show her stuff immediately. Isn't there a way to deal with it?

She took out the purse that was secretly hidden, and looked at it carefully, whether it was the fabric, the embroidery or the spices, it was exactly the same as the one Mu Xuan was wearing. She decided, when Mu Xuan came back, ask him about the purse, if it was really him, what should she do, if it wasn't his, then it was obvious that there was an inner ghost around her.

Rong Zheng remembered the Qingfang he had disposed of before, could it be that there was a second Qingfang?

She couldn't help but think of the events of her previous life, a few years after she married into the Liao family, there were only a few maids left from the Rong family. Which of the people who served in the Liao family was willing to be loyal to her, she was not dead yet, and those people were thinking of trying to coax the things around her. Later, she was kicked out of the Liao family by Mrs. Liao and Liao Xian, and there was not much dowry left that could have been around. lived a life in a mess, and ended up in a bleak end. In this life, she started from scratch, and she married into the Mu family. It's good for the in-laws to go to the scene occasionally, and the sister is very friendly, not to mention Mu Xuan, who is a hundred times better than Liao Xian. She managed the dowry in an orderly manner, and she also took charge of the home here, and lived a very happy life.

If there was no Mu Jing, she would definitely be happier!

Rong Zheng clenched his purse, closed his eyes, and silently thought in his heart: "Seventh Master, what do you say I should do?" ”

Ruyi walked in with a square plate, containing a plate of jujube paste cakes.

"Grandma eats a snack."

Rong Zheng glanced up at Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, when we didn't come over, you and Zisu swore together that you would always be loyal to me, right?" ”

Ruyi's face changed greatly, and she said in horror: "Grandma! You're ......"

Rong Zheng said in his heart that his words were a little heavier, and he hurriedly said: "No, I just remembered my previous words." You put down your plate and go out. ”

Ruyi had no choice but to retreat, and the moment she put down the curtain, she looked back at Rong Zheng twice. Seeing Rong Zheng staring at a purse, she was frightened and frightened, fell off the bead curtain, and ran out.

Rong Zheng turned his head and saw the curtain shaking, and was stunned for a long time.

Lunch didn't wait for Mu Xuan to come back and eat together, Rong Zheng drank a bowl of mung bean porridge sullenly and lay down all afternoon, she hoped that she would be sick when she woke up, and she didn't have to go back to any house tomorrow.

In the middle of the afternoon, there was a sudden thunderstorm, and then the raindrops of beans came along the way, but in a moment's effort, it had already formed a splashing trend. Rong Zheng hurriedly put on his clothes and asked the people in the room anxiously.

"Uncle, hasn't he come back yet?"

The maids shook their heads.

Rong Zheng looked at the rain getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed that it would not stop for a while. Even if she doesn't go tomorrow, she won't be able to hide for a while. It's not that she did anything wrong in this matter, why should she be afraid of him, not to mention that Mu Xuan is now standing by her side peacefully, and she has no need to be afraid.

Rong Zheng clenched her fists, and she decided to face it bravely and no longer flinch.

The rain lasted until twilight, but Mu Xuan hadn't come back yet. Rong Zheng couldn't help but be a little worried, was he blocked by the heavy rain and it was inconvenient? Or did you just encounter something?

Duanhui had already sent a maid to invite Rong Zheng to come forward, and Rong Zheng asked people to call Pingkang.

"Who is going out with Uncle today?"

Ping Kang said: "Uncle went out alone. ”

Rong Zheng was a little puzzled and asked, "Why don't you follow, if you have any orders, there is no errand runner?" ”

Ping Kang lowered his head and said, "Uncle won't let the minions follow." When the uncle left today, his face was blue and he looked very scary. The minions did not dare to disobey the uncle's will, for fear of annoying him. ”

Rong Zheng was surprised, Mu Xuan had a bad temper? Did something happen?

Here, Duanhui has already ordered a pot, and he will wait for Mu Xuan to come back and have a meal. I didn't see him come back, and I couldn't wait. Finally saw Rong Zheng coming, took her hand and said, "Junhua said that he would come back after paying homage to Xiao Qi, why did he leave all day?" ”

Seeing that the county lord was anxious, Rong Zheng couldn't help but reassure: "County lord, you don't have to worry too much. Meritus may have been blocked by the rain, or something was delayed. I've already sent someone to look for him, and I should be back. ”

"This kid is never a peace of mind."

The sisters waited until the second watch to hear Xue Qing's report: "County Lord! Big Granny! Uncle is back! ”

The two couldn't hold it anymore and went out together.

Mu Xuan stood in the flower hall with a solemn expression and a cold face. Rong Zheng hesitated and slowed down.

Duanhui said worriedly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come back?" It's raining so hard, isn't it easy to walk? ”

Mu Xuan was obviously trying her best to suppress a certain emotion, and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "It's okay, sister." ”

"I asked people to order a pot, knowing that you love to eat. I kept it all the time. I let people go to the heat. ”

Mu Xuan still said coldly: "I've already had dinner, sister." It's nothing, I'll go back and rest first. ”

Duan Hui was slightly surprised, she was a person who could observe words and feelings, and seeing that Mu Xuan was a little wrong, she opened her mouth to persuade: "Junhua, I know that you and Xiao Qi have been in love since childhood. He's your best friend, and no matter what we look for him, he's never shirked. It's just that no one could have predicted this accident, it has happened, and it is impossible for him to come back. You shall mourn. ”

Mu Xuan's eyes were cold, he didn't say anything, and nodded silently. glanced at Rong Zheng again, although he didn't speak, but the look in his eyes seemed to say, "Go, go back." ”

Rong Zheng walked to Mu Xuan's side, and the two prepared to go back to Qingyin Hall.

When he walked to the threshold, Mu Xuan suddenly turned his head and said to Duan Hui: "Sister, I won't go back to the house tomorrow for the time being." ”

"Hey, you didn't say yes last afternoon, what's the matter...... Can I help you? ”

Mu Xuan nodded and said, "Well, there are some situations to deal with, and I'll talk about it in a few days." My sister can take care of her body with peace of mind. ”

Duanhui nodded. And he asked the servant woman to send them with a glass hydrangea lamp.

Rong Zheng and Mu Xuan rode on the same umbrella, and he walked on the familiar left, but he didn't say a word along the way, and he didn't even shake his own hand. Rong Zheng looked up at his blurred side face. That scene from a few years ago echoes in my mind.

It was the first time they met, she was sheltering from the rain in Puci Temple, and she saw him under the same roof. At that time, he exuded an aura of rejection thousands of miles away, lonely, and indifferent. At this time, he was the same as then.

Soon returned to the Qingyin Museum. Rong Zheng asked Fu Cui and Qiu Ci to come up and change Mu Xuan's clothes. Rong Zheng saw a lot of mud splashed on the hem of Mu Xuan's clothes, and when he touched his clothes, he found that it was moist, and couldn't help complaining: "You are too careless." ”

Mu Xuan was always indifferent. Waiting for the maid to change his clothes for him, Mu Xuan fell asleep.

Rong Zheng waited for him for a day, but when he came back, he was in such a situation, even if there were any grievances in his heart, he swallowed them all into his stomach.

In a hazy sleep, Rong Zheng heard the people beside him tossing and turning. Her eyes widened, she looked at the top of Hei Yueyue's tent, and asked, "Junhua, is something wrong?" ”

"Haven't you slept yet?"

"No, I've already slept. Listening to you tossing and turning, can you tell me something? ”

Mu Xuan hesitated, this matter had nothing to do with Rong Zheng, but he didn't know whether to open this mouth. He has to take care of his sister's body, and he can't sue her. Except for his sister, the only person in the world who can be negotiated is gone, and he is left to face it alone. What should he do?

Rong Zheng saw that he didn't speak for a long time, she thought Mu Xuan was asleep, and called tentatively: "Junhua!" ”

Mu Xuan agreed dullly.

"Don't you believe me?"

"No, I don't believe it, it's just hard to say, I don't know how to tell you. I'm fine, you can sleep. ”

Rong Zheng groped in the dark for a while before touching Mu Xuan's hand, and the big hand quickly and forcefully held her. After a while, I heard Mu Xuan say: "Ah Zheng, I'm really sorry, I don't know how to say this." It's not up to you. ”

Rong Zheng listened to his voice with a hint of crying, his heart was shocked, he snuggled up, leaned on his chest, reached out and touched his face in the dark, but he touched the tears in his hand.

"Meritus ...... Maybe I can help. You have scruples with the county lord, I'm fine, no matter what you say, I can bear it. This is the first time Mu Xuan has cried in Rong Zheng's memory.

"Did Cui Qiye's letter say something?"

The woman's intuition was terrifyingly accurate, and Rong Zheng guessed the key as soon as she came. Mu Xuan secretly obeyed Rong Zheng's intelligence. (To be continued.) )
