The speckled moonlight sprinkled through the leaves, looking as cool as water, Shen Qingli rubbed his legs that were numb from kneeling, this day was really tiring, folding paper money again, and kneeling and kowtowing.

"Second sister-in-law, there is my Agarwood Garden in front, come in and sit for a while!" Mu Shuang took a few steps from behind and grabbed Shen Qingli's arm, "Come in and take a look at my paintings." ”

"Good! Then I'll bother. Shen Qingli happily went.

"Fifth sister, I don't know if we are welcome or not?" Two young men came up behind him, and when they saw Shen Qingli, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Second sister-in-law." ”

Both of them are dressed in moon-white robes, and at first glance their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar, very similar to twins, but they are half a head apart, the taller one is full of solemnity, and the shorter one is full of smiles.

Shen Qingli knew that these two people were Lang Jun in the second room, but he couldn't tell who was who.

Mu Shuang hurriedly stepped forward to introduce, pointed to the tall man and said, "Second sister-in-law, this is my third brother Mu Yunxuan." He pointed to the shorter one again, "Fourth brother Mu Yunchao." ”

Shen Qingli hurriedly returned the salute: "Hello two uncles." I felt a little awkward when I heard it, but I had already asked Momozhi, and Momozhi said that it should be called that.

"I have long heard that the second sister-in-law was born in a century-old family and is a rare beauty, but when I saw it today, it was really so." Mu Yunchao tilted his head and looked at her, and said generously, "I'll just say, the second brother is the most popular woman, in my opinion, the second sister-in-law is a little more beautiful than that Xia Wanyue, because ......"

Shen Qingli smiled helplessly.

Do you have to compare me to her?

Speechless!

"Fourth brother, Hugh is rude." Mu Yunxuan was afraid that he would say anything more than polite, so he hurriedly stopped him, "It's not too early, let's go back!" ”

His voice is very special, giving people a dull feeling.

"Third brother, go back first! I'm going to see the paintings at my fifth sister's place! Second sister-in-law, let's take a look! Mu Yunchao said, striding into the Agarwood Garden.

Mu Yunxuan had no choice but to hug his sister-in-law and leave alone.

Agarwood Garden is a two-entry house, and Mu Shuang's studio is in the ear room of the inner garden.

Mu Shuang led the two into the studio.

Although Su Shi didn't wait to see Mu Shuang, this studio was very well arranged, and the walls were even decorated with wall lamps, although it was night, the light inside was not dim.

The studio is not big, the four walls are full of calligraphy and paintings, most of them are landscape paintings or something, the fine brush is very beautiful, although it is not a majestic atmosphere, but for a twelve-year-old girl, it is already very rare.

Although he lit two candles, Shen Qingli looked at them one by one and praised: "I can't imagine that the painting of the fifth sister is so good, can you give me a pair?" ”

"Let the second sister-in-law smile." Mu Shuang said embarrassedly, "How can I take out my paintings, the second sister-in-law is an expert, and I hope that the second sister-in-law will give me some advice." ”

"Where can I draw?" Shen Qingli saw a picture of a lady pressed under a red plum picture, and the woman in it was extremely beautiful, but her expression was a little sad, and when she saw that Mu Shuang was a little nervous, she put it down quietly.

"I heard that the second sister-in-law's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, I wonder if my brother and sister are blessed, and they will see the second sister-in-law's ink treasure?" Mu Yunchao sat on the desk, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at her with a smile.

The woman under the bronze wall lamp has bright eyes and pretty face, and her plain clothes make her whole person more and more beautiful, and there is no ornament between her temples, which adds a bit of home taste.

She was not the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, but she was the most comfortable woman she looked at.

"The fourth brother has lifted me, where can I compare to the fifth sister." Shen Qingli smiled faintly.

"Fourth brother, it's not too early, presumably the second brother is also back, let's talk about painting another day, let's send the second sister-in-law back!" Mu Shuang naturally knew Mu Yunchao's temperament,

"That's good!, it's not good to keep the second brother waiting for a long time." Mu Yunchao jumped off the desk and patted his shirt carelessly, "Let's go, I'll send my second sister-in-law back." Without waiting for Shen Qingli to refuse, the person had already left the courtyard.

"My fourth brother and I sent our second sister-in-law." Mu Shuang smiled.

The three of them got on the rainbow bridge and went out of the backyard.

Between the front yard and the back yard is a meadow, on which there are five strange stones, some like horses, some like cows, and some too far away to see what they look like.

Mu Yunchao saw Shen Qingli constantly looking at the stones, and said with a smile: "I plan to gather the twelve zodiac signs on this grass, what does the second sister-in-law think?" ”

"Of course." Shen Qingli replied without thinking, this little uncle is quite creative.

"The fourth brother is the most capable, and by next year, these twelve zodiac signs will be ready." Mu Shuang smiled.

Suddenly, a low whimper sounded coldly, which was a little creepy.

In a moment, the silence of the past was restored, and only the wind blew low by.

The three of them immediately looked at each other.

"Fourth brother, is there a ghost?" Mu Shuang was so frightened that she tightly grabbed Shen Qingli's arm.

Shen Qingli remembered the laughter he heard in Agarwood Garden some time ago, and his heart became nervous, could it be that this mansion is really haunted?

She's an atheist.

"With me here, what are you afraid of? I've never seen a ghost in my life, so I'm going to take a look. Mu Yunchao looked around as usual, and all he saw was the familiar scenery, the grass under his feet, and the bamboo forest not far away, all of which were lifelike under the moonlight, and he couldn't see a trace of abnormality.

As soon as the words fell, there was another low cry, which came from the bamboo forest, and a white shadow seemed to be faintly visible.

"I'll go over there and have a look." Mu Yunchao quickly ran towards the bamboo forest.

"Let's go check it out!" Shen Qingli pulled Mu Shuang and followed.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm afraid, let's not get close." When he arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest, Mu Shuang tightly grabbed the corner of Shen Qingli's clothes.

Mu Yunchao's figure has long since disappeared into the bamboo forest.

"Fifth sister, have you ever heard someone crying here before?" Shen Qingli stared intently at the verdant and upright bamboo forest in front of him, this forest should be connected with the bamboo forest in Qingxin Garden, could there be something strange in this forest?

"No, it's just that I used to hear the old people of Mu Yingtang say that there was a little girl named Zixuan who hanged herself in this bamboo forest many years ago, could it be that her ghost is still lingering......" The more Mu Shuang said, the more frightened she became, and her little face became pale.

There was another rustling sound in the bamboo forest.

Mu Yun ran out towards a jumper, patted the grass clippings on his body, and saw that the two of them didn't dare to come out, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "That ghost is afraid of me, as soon as I enter the bamboo forest, she will run away." ”

"You see?" The two asked in unison, trembling.

"Yes! I saw a white shadow, and when I ran after her, she was faster than me. Mu Yunchao looked back at the bamboo forest behind him, and said in a mysterious voice, "I'll wait for her here in advance tomorrow night." ”

Shen Qingli had just entered Qingxin Garden, but he saw Taozhi hurriedly catching up, and said urgently: "Young lady, where have you been?" The slaves and maidservants have gone to the ancestral hall several times to greet them. ”

"I went to the Agarwood Garden and sat down." Shen Qingli saw Taozhi's strange face, and asked again, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Shizi has been waiting for you in the house for a while!" Momozhi whispered.

"What is he doing here?" Shen Qingli's heart sank.
