340. 340. Portrait

"This is the Murong family's courtyard, as for the 'miss' in the old slave's mouth......" Rujin pursed her lips, and there was pain and longing in her eyes that could not be concealed: "The girl wants to know who my young lady is, so please come with the old slave." Without waiting for Qingyun to say anything, he turned and walked to the right side of the hall.

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, staring at Rujin's back, Qingyun condensed his eyebrows.

Although she didn't understand why Rujin told her these secrets so easily, she was keenly aware that Rujin seemed to hide resentment in her respect for the man.

As the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, maybe you will get unexpected gains from Rujin.

The most important thing is that she is very curious about the young lady in Rujin's mouth, and she has an indescribable emotion, as if she can't let go of the bonds.

Standing up slowly, straightening out the light purple dress that seemed to be tailor-made, a trace of vague edge crossed under Qingyun's eyes, and kept up with Rujin's pace.

Hanging the curtain lightly on the hook on the wall next to it, a locked door appeared lightly, and I couldn't help but frown.

Rujin took out a key from the placket and unlocked it, then pushed open the closed door and walked straight in.

In the eye, two old but smooth and clean bookshelves are placed side by side, there are many books neatly placed on the bookshelf, a wide desk in front of the bookshelf is orderly placed with the four treasures of the study and a stack of Chengxintang paper, the ink in the inkstone has long been dried up, obviously it has not been used for a long time, there is a rosewood chair in the middle of the bookshelf and the desk, there are several beautifully framed landscape paintings hanging on the wall of the room, although some faded, but still smooth as new, the room is almost dusty, a trace of darkness flashed in the eyes of Qingyun, and he walked to the bookshelf, It looks like it includes astronomy and geography, humanities and customs, and miscellaneous historical records...... I sighed in my heart: It seems that this master is very knowledgeable.

Rujin Qingyun, who had opened a small door in the study, did not follow, but stopped in front of the bookshelf, the demeanor of browsing books, the silhouette of graceful and jade, in the afterglow of the sunset shining through the open window, it looked like a dream, but also elegant like the wind.

Rujin couldn't help flashing the picture of the past in front of her eyes, and she still remembered that at that time, the young lady was also standing in front of the bookshelf like this, intently flipping through the books......

The room was too quiet and silent, and she couldn't even feel a trace of breath, Qingyun's heart moved, and she looked sideways slightly, seeing Rujin in a trance, as if she was thinking about something, Qingxiu's face was full of longing and pain, so she asked softly: "Rujin, aren't you going to take me to see your young lady?" Where is she? ”

Qingrun's curious voice came to his ears, Rujin suddenly came back to his senses, and the strange look on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by calm and gentle, and there was a faint hint of complex emotions: "The old slave's young lady is here, and the girl will know when she comes in." He reached out and pushed open the small closed door.

Qingyun didn't think much about it, and slowly moved past Rujin who was standing by the small door, and slowly entered the room.

Through a small window on the wall, it can be seen that in the middle of the hut that only accommodates six or seven people, there are four spiritual positions on a wooden table, one in the middle of the spiritual seat is written 'First Examination Murong Zhenhua's spiritual seat', the right one is written 'Murong Yue's Shuhui's spiritual seat', the left one is written 'Murong Gu's Qinglian spiritual seat', and the other is blank, the room is filled with a faint smell of incense and candles, and on the left wall are three portraits of a man and two women.

The woman in the portrait on the very edge, such as the ink soft and shiny hair pulled into a wishful bun, the hair obliquely inserted a pearl jasper step sway, the complexion is as crystal as jade, the pear vortex on the cheeks is looming, the lips are not dotted but contain Dan, the eyebrows are not painted but horizontal, a pair of clear eyes are clear and peaceful, a lilac dress looks elegant and gentle, even if the picture scroll is old, you can still see how the woman was young and peerless.

Staring deeply at the peerless beauty, Qingyun's expression was moved, her dark eyes were as calm as water, and an indescribable ripple appeared in her heart.

She had seen her father treasure in the secret room of the Mingde Palace, the only portrait of the first mother, the father said that although she inherited all the advantages of the first mother, but the appearance was only six or seven points like the first mother.

And the woman in the portrait in front of her looks so similar to her late mother, to be precise, her appearance is more like the woman in the picture, even the pear vortex on the cheek is the same.

Slowly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and carefully caressed the silhouette of the woman in the picture, her pupils were misty and deep, her lips moved slightly, and her voice was hoarse and ethereal: "Murong Gu's Qinglian, Murong Gu's Qinglian, hehehehe...... I see! I see! Two lines of tears quietly crossed his cheeks.

Looking at the light cloud that suddenly lingered with a clear sorrow all over her body, Rujin's complexion changed slightly, and her eyes flashed with doubts and depth: "Girl, what's the matter?" ”

"I'm fine." Hearing Rujin's inquiry, Qingyun hurriedly collected his troubled and sad emotions, took out a silk handkerchief and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and pretended to be calm: "The woman in this picture is your young lady?" ”

Picked up the incense on the table and lit it, and then handed it to Qingyun, Rujin took a step back, and then nodded slightly: "Yes!" ”

After receiving the incense handed by Rujin, Qingyun knelt on the futon on the table, kowtowed respectfully three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense ash altar on the table with his own hands, and slowly walked to the portrait, stared at the woman, and said softly: "Rujin, how long has your young lady passed away?" ”

"It's been more than thirty years." Rujin's deep voice was clearly full of longing and grief.

"How did your young lady die?"

This sentence deeply touched Rujin's heartstrings, and suddenly he knelt heavily on the futon in front of the spiritual position, and cried in a low voice, which made people's hearts and intestines break when he heard it.

After a long time, Rujin stopped crying, choked up and told Qingyun about his young lady's short life, and was even more sad and resentful when he talked about the murder of his young lady, and even gritted his teeth, as if he was going to swallow the thief's life alive.

"I want to be alone for a while, you go out first." Although Rujin concealed it well, Qingyun still keenly heard the hidden intention in her words, and couldn't help frowning, and a trace of obscure darkness crossed her eyes.

Rujin wanted to say something, but seeing that Qingyun seemed to wave his hand a little impatiently, he had to swallow his full words, slowly stood up, took a deep look at Qingyun's proud and clear back, bowed his head and left the hut and closed the door.

Staring deeply at the woman in the picture, Qingyun whispered, "Rujin wants to borrow my hand to get rid of that person, do you want to do the same?" ”

Rujin, who exited the hut, no longer had the grief on his face, but resentment and gloom to the bone, and his eyes flashed with pride and calculation.

"Why are you doing this?"

A low voice suddenly sounded, and he was suddenly startled, turned around, and saw the middle-aged man standing at the door of the study, his face sank, and he gritted his teeth and said, "He should die!" ”

The man sighed: "He has grieved for so many years, and he has regretted it for so many years, why are you so obsessed?" ”

"What's the use of grief and remorse? Can you bring Madame back to life? Rujin's eyes were heavy, and the volcanic storm that had been suppressed for many years under his eyes seemed to overflow the sea all of a sudden, bursting out with a cold and bone-eating anger: "And Miss, poor Miss has only been born for a little more than a month...... If it weren't for him, Madame wouldn't have died a tragic death! If it weren't for him, Miss wouldn't have died or died so far! You say, doesn't he deserve to die? It's a pity that I can't kill him for so many years, I can't avenge Madame and Miss, it's my incompetence, I'm sorry for Madame and Miss! ”

Thinking of the gentle and virtuous but innocent lady who died tragically, and the well-behaved and lovely young lady, the man's eyes dimmed, and his still handsome face was full of sadness: "How can you be sure that girl can avenge Madame and Miss?" ”

"Intuition!" Seeing the man's suspicious face, Rujin whispered mysteriously: "Don't you think this girl is very similar to Madame?" ”

"What do you mean......"

"The first time I saw this girl, I felt inexplicably kind, especially her temperament is elegant and Tsinghua, in the face of such a situation is still calm and calm, seeing her, I always seem to see Mrs., the most important thing is that she is the first and only person brought by the master to the other courtyard, which shows that her relationship with the master is extraordinary, I am sure that she is by no means an ordinary person."

"Even so, she is just a weak woman who is powerless, how can she kill him? Don't forget, he's a great martial artist. ”

"You think too simply, since this girl is not an ordinary person, then her identity must be extraordinary, in order to develop her calm and calm momentum, there is naturally a strong force behind her, presumably she has her own way to kill him!" Rujin Qingxiu's face was ruthless: "Even if this girl can't kill him in the end, there is no loss for us, right?" ”

The man pondered for a moment and nodded: "But you still have to be cautious, lest he feel the clue, and the consequences can be imagined at that time." ”

What if he sensed it? Can he kill me? Rujin is obviously fearless.

Seeing that Rujin was indulging in the excitement of avenging his wife and miss, the man opened his mouth to say something, but finally turned into a sigh.

The footsteps outside the house gradually faded away, and the light clouds that heard the conversation between the two clearly, slowly floated a layer of mist in the dark eyes, like an unfathomable lake, deep and mysterious, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised with a sneer that was as deep as a depth.

The night has been three watches, such as a round of bright full moon hanging high in the ink sky, only a few candles in the huge courtyard flickering, and the full moon in the night sky and a few twinkling stars reflect each other.

After taking the coat on the hanger, Qingyun glanced at Rujin, who was breathing evenly and sleeping peacefully on the soft couch, walked out of the room lightly, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and his heart was full of sorrow, and a strong aroma of wine suddenly wafted in the light night breeze, mellow and spicy, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
