At this time, the rain stopped at the beginning, and Liu Jing and others stood outside the door, watching Gu Cheng leave.

Outside the gate of Zhuangzi, there were vast green mountains, and Gu Cheng, who was still wearing a gauze hat and was invisible, suddenly stopped when he walked to the gate.

He turned his head slowly.

After a distance of more than a hundred steps, he glanced at Liu Jing steadily, then turned around resolutely, and then the sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away.

It wasn't until the sound of the horse's hooves gradually became inaudible that Liu Jing withdrew her gaze.

Seeing that she seemed to be distracted, the guards were silent.

After a while, Liu Jing sighed lightly and said, "Go find the family of the old man who guards this Zhuangzi and send fifty taels of gold over." ”

"Yes."

"Pack up and leave for the city tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

This night, there was no wind or rain, except for the faint sound of shouting and killing from afar, which seemed to be as quiet as ever.

Lying on this strange couch, Liu Jing couldn't sleep for a long time, and after tossing and turning for most of the night, she turned her head sideways to look at the corner of the room, where there were still a few clothes that Gu Cheng had changed into during the day. But she was idle in the afternoon, and had washed herself, and waited for him to come to Runan, and then return it to him.

To be honest, it was only at this time that Liu Jing officially faced the reunion with Deng Jiulang and Gu Cheng in her heart.

In the past, she thought that there would be no time to see them again, and her ideal was to be a businessman, control some prodigals, make herself rich, and have a certain ability to deal with danger.

But after meeting them again, she felt that although she had been exercising for a year, she was still far from enough.

Such as this time, if it weren't for Gu Cheng's help, I was afraid that I would wait for the prince of Runan to arrive in Runan. When she began to send out her third uncle, she and her family reacted. Until then. The third uncle is at least in prison, and he may have been decided. And the third uncle's family will also be confiscated or sold into official slaves. As for them, although they are likely to be spared, the third uncle's family, who is the foundation of their lives, has been in trouble, and her little Liu Wenjing is powerless, and the situation of their family is only several times more difficult than in Wu County.

Thinking about this, Liu Jing took a deep breath and thought. The world is changing, and I really don't know which day disaster will fall from the sky. In the blink of an eye, she thought again, with the temperament of the third uncle, there will be countless such things in the future. Also, this time the matter is not over, even if the prince of Runan will not attack the third uncle now, but the handle of the third uncle is not only known by the king of the second county, but also known by the son. At any time, if one does not deal properly, the son will attack the third uncle again!

Thinking about it, Liu Jing sighed secretly. I thought: I don't want to taste the second time in my life when my father was in prison. Before. I always thought it would be okay to be a businessman, but now it seems. But it's not enough.

She must be stronger!

So tossing and turning. Liu Jing didn't sleep well all night, and didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

This sleep, until the middle of the day, Liu Jing got up to freshen up, then got into the carriage and returned in the direction of Runan.

While walking, the guards looked back frequently, and after looking at it for a while, a guard approached Liu Jing and asked curiously: "Da Lang, do you say that the team of Gu Jialangjun and the prince of Runan will also be on the road?" Will we go together? ”

Liu Jing shook her head, "I don't know about this. Speaking of this, she looked up at the ten guards and said solemnly, "You also saw the fate of the old man who guarded the village yesterday...... Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to live up and live like this, remember that nothing happened yesterday! ”

After a pause, she emphasized: "We didn't see anyone yesterday, and you never knew about Gu Lang's arrival in Runan. She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Remember at all times that more is better than less!" ”

"Yes!" "Don't worry!" "I'll see."

In the chaotic voice of the guards, Liu Jing shouted: "Since you know the way, let's go faster." We left the land as soon as possible and rushed back to Runan. ”

"Yes!"

The group hurried up, and the half-day journey took two hours to arrive. When they entered Runan City, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Jing too. Seeing that the people in the city were crowded and it was difficult for the carriage to pass through, she got out of the carriage and let the guards go back on their own, and Liu Jing simply wandered around the streets.

At this time, the beginning of spring has been more than 20 days, after yesterday's spring rain, today's sky is clear, the red sun hangs in the sky, dilutes a little cold, adds a little warmth of spring.

When the sky clears, Liu Jing's fox fur can't be worn, and there are not a few pedestrians who take off their fur and put it between their arms like her. Looking at the Runan people who took off their thick winter coats one by one and showed their tall figures, Liu Jing couldn't help but think: Fortunately, I am like my father, I was born tall, otherwise in this Central Plains, it would be really reluctant to pretend to be a man.

Liu Jing's current figure is considered medium in the Central Plains such as Yuzhou, and in Yangzhou, she is already tall. At this moment, she is wearing a robe with white trim and blue edges, embroidered with peony patterns, and she is elegant and handsome when she walks, and her romance is difficult to hide......

In a restaurant across the street, the windows are wide open. An extremely handsome young man dressed in a black robe and a jade crown was holding a wine cup, looking lazily in the direction of Liu Jing.

A family came closer, he followed the young man's gaze and looked down, and saw Liu Jing at a glance, the family son 'aha', and exclaimed: "What a handsome person." In a blink of an eye, he recognized the person, and smiled, "It turned out to be Liu Wenjing, I'll just say, how can there be so many wonderful people in this place in Runan?" ”

Calling this, the family turned to the young man in the Xuanpao and said with a smile: "Jiulang, but I haven't seen that guy for two days, and you just stared at it intently...... Could it really be lovesick? ”

Hearing the joke of this family, Deng Jiulang lowered his eyes slightly, he shook the wine cup in his hand, stared at Liu Jing deeply, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's a lovesick ......" He said softly: "Let her meet her old friend for two days, I can't do this lovesickness." ”

Speaking of this, he raised the wine cup in his hand, raised it to Liu Jing below, raised it from afar, raised his head and drank it all.

Seeing him like this, the family said happily: "So reluctant? Why don't you call him up and talk now? ”

"Not necessarily." Deng Jiulang's voice was particularly soft, "What she said and did last time in Wu County really annoyed me, so I have to let her be free for a while!" ”

The family stared at him for a while and muttered, "I don't understand at all." ”

Deng Jiulang heard this, but he didn't explain, he just smiled slightly, raised the wine cup that had just been filled and raised it towards Liu Jing again, and then raised his head and drank it all.

Liu Jing didn't wander the streets for long, and soon, she came to the courtyard that was specially left out to meet the prodigal sons.

In this courtyard, she invited two down-and-out Confucian scholars to sort out the information collected by the prodigals and beggars for her.

When she walked in, the two Confucian students, who were so depressed that they had to do something for her, a businessman, were drunk and unconscious. Liu Jing didn't let anyone call, walked straight to the study, took out the news they had sorted out, and began to flip through it.

It took her most of the day to read it. It wasn't until late in the evening that she left the courtyard and headed back towards Liufu.

Back in Liufu, Liu Jing was not busy seeing her father, she just paced slowly in the courtyard, and the cold spring breeze came slowly, blowing her black hair and purifying her mind.

After thinking for a while, Liu Jing did not go to the study to see her father when she came back when she left, as she did in the past, but walked towards the courtyard where Liu's mother was.

As soon as she came to the gate of the courtyard, the laughter of the little sister Liu Xuan came out of place, resounding throughout the courtyard. Liu Jing stood at the door and saw her mother with a veil on her face, painting against the distant lakes and mountains. At this time, she also took off her thick winter clothes, from the back, her mother was slender, and her hair was also a crow and crow's bun.

Seeing Liu Jing's distraction, Uncle Wu walked over from the side, he glanced at Liu Jing's gaze, and said with a smile: "Da Lang is looking at Madame, right?" Hey, I think back then, when adults were as old as Da Lang, they always looked at Mrs. like this and were stunned. At that time, no one knew that Mrs. could really fall in love with adults. ”

Liu Jing always knew very little about her parents' past, but it was the first time she heard this, and she couldn't help but say curiously: "Is my father's identity much lower than that of my mother?" ”

Uncle Wu smiled: "Yes, the relationship between adults and Mrs. is the same as that between Liu Er and Dalang...... However, Liu Er is a villain, and an adult is an upright gentleman. As soon as he said this, he immediately said, "Okay, okay, I won't mention this." Da Lang, Madame was still talking to you just now, hurry up and go in. As if he was afraid that Liu Jing would pester him to ask, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Jing glanced at Uncle Wu and walked towards Mother Liu.

She came behind her mother and watched the layers of clouds and mountains gradually take shape under Liu's mother's pen. Rao was conceited with Liu Jing, and at this time she was also secretly surprised: her mother's painting skills may be really extraordinary.

At this time, a servant woman noticed Liu Jing and couldn't help but call: "Da Lang." ”

As soon as her voice fell, Liu Mu, who was drawing with a pen, paused, and a drop of ink fell on the painting, so that most of the scene that had been painted was completely invalid.

Mother Liu unhappily tore the scroll, tore it three or two times, and didn't stop tearing it, she threw them to the ground and trampled them hard. Seeing that she seemed to be depressed again, Liu Jing immediately called: "Mother." ”

Sure enough, after Liu's mother heard her daughter's call, she stepped on it and stiffened.

Seeing her slowly regaining her composure, Liu Jing stepped forward to help Liu's mother and walked to the side. As she walked, she whispered: "Mother, the sky is clear, you can go to Qingyue Temple tomorrow to relax." ”

Mother Liu had completely forgotten the mania just now, she looked at Liu Jing lovingly, nodded and said, "Well, listen to Jing'er." ”

After Liu Jing helped her sit down, Liu's mother asked with concern, "Child, did you say that you went to see Gu Cheng?" How is he? ”

Liu Jing walked behind Liu's mother, and while beating her back, she said in words: "He is very good and helped me." ”

"Helped you?" Liu Mu laughed and said, "It seems that this surnamed Gu is not completely useless. (To be continued......)
