Twilight quadrangle.

The night gradually sank.

The wind was blowing, and there was a chill in the air.

Aunt Tian dressed up carefully, and she didn't see Mu Changyuan coming, so she sent Bai Ling to Yiqing Garden to inquire, there was a family banquet at home last night, and the master didn't come, so shouldn't he come tonight?

The housekeeper's mother-in-law, Mama Lan, took the rose water and combed her hair over and over again, Mu Changyuan liked the style of a woman's long hair shawl the most, he said, the woman who holds her hair with a full head of pearls is for others to see, and in the face of her husband, it is better to wear her long hair at will.

Therefore, Mu Changyuan's three-room wives and concubines do not pull their hair when they sleep.

"I heard that there are delicate guests in the house, presumably the master will not be able to come for a while, so my aunt might as well rest first." Mama Lan gently dipped a wooden comb in rose water, combed her hair, and then gently wiped her wet black hair with a steaming cloth towel, and the fragrance of roses gently and shallowly dispersed, making people can't help but think about it.

"It's better to wait for the master to come before sleeping!" Aunt Tian yawned again and again, and ordered, "Don't forget to let the kitchen boil a bowl of sobering soup for a while, the master must have drunk tonight." ”

"Auntie, don't worry, the slave maid has already been prepared." The corners of Mama Lan's mouth moved, and after wiping her hair, she said, "Auntie's soup must have been boiled too, so go and bring it to Auntie!" ”

"Go ahead!" Aunt Tian nodded, and looked out the window anxiously, at this time in the past, the master had already come over!

Bai Ling went to Yiqing Garden, inquired a little, only to know that Mu Changyuan didn't come back for dinner, no one knew where to go, passing by Chunhui Pavilion, and heard two slender figures standing by the bushes whispering, saying that the old man fell in love with a tea picker in the tea garden, but for some reason he didn't bring it back to the house, but settled in the back street of the alley, probably to marry into the mansion seriously.

It was too dark to see the faces of the two people clearly, so Bai Ling naturally inconvenienced to step forward and ask carefully, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and returned to Lixiangyuan in a smoke.

When Aunt Tian learned about this, she was so angry that she wanted to go to the back street to see which shameless slut actually hooked up with the master under her nose, but was stopped by Bailing: "Auntie, don't be angry, this is just a rumor that the slave maid occasionally hears, I don't know if it's true or not, if you go to make trouble now, wouldn't it make the master even more angry?" ”

"So what do you say you should do?" Aunt Tian was so angry that she stomped her feet, "If the master marries that little slut back, then what should I do?" ”

What man is not a Lord who loves the new and hates the old?

"Auntie, the slave maid said something that he didn't like, the lord has another woman, if he said to make trouble, I'm afraid that only the lady has this qualification, how can other people have the right to speak." Bai Ling persuaded bitterly.

There is a sentence that she is embarrassed to say, that is, the aunt is only half a master, how can she be qualified to take care of these things of the male host!

Although Bai Ling is not a child, he has been on an errand in the house for many years, and he used to serve in Mu Changyuan's study, and later Aunt Tian arrived at Lixiangyuan, and was pointed out by Mu Changyuan to Aunt Tian.

Although Aunt Tian is not too shrewd, she also knows that she has won people's hearts, plus she has a shop in her hand and her father's savings for many years, and she is not stingy with the rewards of her subordinates.

"Then you say, what should I do?" Did you watch the lord marry that woman into the mansion?

"Auntie, even if the lord wants to carry the room, he must be agreed by Mrs. Tai and Mrs., so don't rush this matter, when we find out the matter, it's not too late to discuss." Bai Ling is obviously much more transparent about these things.

"Bailing, tomorrow, you and I will go to the back street with me to have a look, I want to see how beautiful that woman is." Aunt Tian gritted her teeth and said.

This side of Chunhui Pavilion.

Xia Shi and Chunyan smiled and bent over, presumably that little slut was going to be so angry that he lost sleep tonight!

Haha, that's so cool!

"Da Young Madame, there is news from Zhuangzi, saying that everything is ready, it depends on what Da Young Madam means!" The two laughed, Chunyan lowered her voice and stepped forward to say.

"Then tomorrow!" Xia stroked his fingers and said, "I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow night, and you can do it." ”

"Yes, don't worry, the young lady doesn't worry, the slave knows what to do!" Chunyan answered confidently.

Qingxin Garden, the second floor of the study.

The candlelight was still flickering.

Three dignified faces were reflected.

Mu Yunting's most powerful personal guard Mu Gu was killed in the Youzhou Post Station three days ago, and was discovered by the people in the post station the next day, reported layer by layer, and only reached the capital yesterday, so the emperor quickly passed Mu Yunting into the palace,

It wasn't until yesterday that Mu Yunting knew that Mu Gu's true identity was actually the secret guard sent by the emperor to his side, that is to say, the emperor was also wary of Mu Fu and him.

Maybe Mu Gu handed Huang Fu Shuo an excerpt before his death, and said something beneficial to Mu Yunting, Huang Fu Shuo saw Mu Yunting, so he said earnestly, Yongding Marquis Mansion is loyal to my royal family, heaven and earth can be expressed, I was suspicious of your father and son's high merit before, it really shouldn't be, and I hope Hongyuan don't blame me for being suspicious, I am also forced to do so.

Mu Yunting's back was cold, it turned out that his most trusted entourage was actually in charge of monitoring him.

Now that everyone is gone, Mu Yunting's heart is full of mixed emotions for a while, and there is an indescribable sadness and indescribable complex emotions.

After all, Mu Gu had desperately saved him in Youzhou last time, except for the identity of the emperor's secret guard, he didn't know, and the two of them still had nothing to talk about.

Mu Yunting immediately decided to go to Youzhou in advance and send Mu Gu on his last journey.

"Shizi, could this matter be done by King Jin? It must have been in the case of Urva, and Mugu found out something that was exterminated. Feng Liu said with a solemn face, back then, he and Mu Gu went to Mu Yunting's side one after another, and the relationship between the two was not bad, but now the former friends are gone like this!

When he was dying, he never saw him.

Thinking of the scene of life and death back then, even if he was an iron-clad man, he couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he heard the news of his companion's death.

"No, it won't." Mu Yunting shook his head, let out a long sigh, and stroked his forehead, "Originally, I also suspected that Urva's death was related to King Jin, but as soon as Mu Gu died, I felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as we found out, and now that King Jin was grounded in Xuanyu Palace, at this time, how could his subordinates dare to make such a big move at this time?" ”

"But that Chunyan still goes to that Ruyi Building every few days to see the material, if she is not the person of King Jin, then whose person will she be?" Gong Si also became more and more puzzled, "Could it be that someone deliberately led us to King Jin?"

"It may be so, Gong Si, you continue to send people to keep an eye on the Jin Wangfu, to see who is in and out of the palace every day, although the Jin King has ruled out the suspicion, but we still have to start the investigation from the silk, since the silkworm material in the Shilang Mansion is from the Jin Wangfu, then where does the material from the Jin Wangfu come from? That's the crux of the matter. Mu Yunting frowned.

"Yes." Gong Si and Feng Liu nodded in response.

Mu Yunting picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip gently, stared at the undulating tea leaves in the tea bowl, and said: "The closer we get to the truth, the more unbearable that person is, so the more boldly we have to start, that Chunyan has already had a different heart, and now she is fueling the flames by her sister-in-law's side, stirring up peace in the house, looking for a chance to try her, see if you can ask any valuable information, if you can't ask, get rid of her." ”

Gong Si nodded in response.

He knew that Mu Yunting didn't want to touch Chunyan originally, but she actually arranged her accomplice to Mu Changyuan's side, which was really hateful.

The man didn't pay much attention to these bad things in the back house, but if he really found out, whether you came from the sky or the earth, the eight generations of the ancestors could figure it out.

Perhaps, Chunyan did feel that she was very smart in front of the Xia family, but she was so smart that she forgot her form, she was stupid, and she dared to calculate Mu Chang's source, just by virtue of this, how could Mu Yunting spare her!

"Shizi, what should I do with Miss Caiyan?" After a pause, Gong Si stepped forward and asked with some embarrassment.

Although Cai Yan is the same as Chunyan, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but she is a woman, so she can't be all removed, right?

"Cai Yan will stay first, she will send someone over to watch first, if her father wants to take her into the house, then take her in." Mu Yunting pondered for a moment, and then said, "After all, she entered the Hou Mansion for another purpose, not to harm anyone, so let's wait and see what happens." ”

Gong Siyi replied one by one.

The three of them deliberated for a few more moments before they dispersed.

The next day, Mu Yunting went to Muyingtang and Yiqing Garden early to say goodbye, and then returned to Qingxin Garden to prepare for departure.

"Shizi, do you want to talk to the young lady." Mu An put the packed baggage on the horse's back and said, "I heard Taozhi say that the young lady stewed truffle stewed chicken for you last night, but last night when you were in the study, Gong Si said that he wouldn't let me go in and disturb me, so I didn't send the chicken." ”

"I'm afraid the young lady didn't get up, right?" Mu Yunting looked at the inner garden, that woman has always slept sweetly, so don't go over and disturb her!

Even if she knew he was leaving, maybe she wouldn't come over to deliver it!

Thinking of this, he frowned.

As she said, they are just familiar strangers living under the same roof, and they don't even have the reality of husband and wife, so why talk about each other?

"The little ones are going to go over and have a look." Mu An ran towards the inner garden with a smoke.

"This guy ......" Mu Yunting looked at Mu An's upturned back, couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, and saw that Feng Liu had already led the horse out of the door, so he also turned the horse's head and walked out.

There's still a big mess to deal with over there in Youzhou.

Does he still have the heart to wait here for his wife to come out to see him off?

Shen Qingli had just gotten up and finished freshening up, and before he left the house, he heard Mu An shouting outside, saying that the prince asked him to come and sue Mrs. Sù, and the prince left for Youzhou.

Shen Qingli saw that Mu Yunting also asked Mu An to sue her, and he felt a little moved in his heart, so he also hurried out of the door and asked, "Mu An, won't you follow?" ”

"This time, Shizi didn't let me go, and only brought Feng Liu alone." Mu An scratched his head and said with a smile, "Does the young lady want to send the son away?" Maybe the prince is still waiting at the gate! ”

Of course I want to send it!

Shen Qingli didn't say a word, and walked quickly towards the door.

Mu An smiled and followed behind.

When the two arrived at the gate, they saw that the door was empty, and asked the porter, only to know that the prince had just left.

Sure enough, the backs of the two riding horses could be faintly seen not far away.

He's gone!

Shen Qingli couldn't help but wave his hand at the figure, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, nor the sadness of parting, nor the ease of relief, he had been with this person for nearly two months, although he was not a sincere couple, but the feeling of being a friend could still be counted.

It doesn't matter if you see it or you can't see it.

I'm here to see you off!

Will the woman come?

The man on horseback looked back almost ghostly, and in the field of vision, sure enough, there was her figure, seeing her standing at the door, waving at him, a burst of joy instantly surged up from the bottom of his heart, and the feeling lingered in his heart sweetly, and his mind couldn't help but pass over the woman's smile, every word and deed......

The road in front of me seems to have become smoother.

The two horses galloped out of the capital in an instant. R1152
