Originally, one person went to Peach Blossom Valley, but when he came back, it became three people.

Cai Ling actually just heard Chu Ci say that there were people dead in the house, so she was always very afraid, and she always couldn't sleep well at night, so she politely invited her to come to the Song Mansion to live temporarily, who knew that she was carrying the burden that had been packed up a long time ago, and she didn't know how happy she was.

Because he felt sorry for Xiao Chuan, he begged Yu Moyan to let Xiao Chuan also follow her aunt to the Song Mansion as a guest. Yu Moyan also readily agreed.

As soon as he got off the carriage outside the door, Chu Ci held Xiao Chuan with one hand, and raised his hand to point to the rows of plum blossom lanterns hanging high in the alley: "It's really wonderful!" Did Jiang Gongzi light these lamps for his wife? ”

Cai Ling led Xiao Chuan, "It shouldn't be." His concubine had just arrived last night, probably to greet her. ”

"What a happy person." The eighteen-year-old girl has not yet left Huaiyuan County, and she is full of curiosity about the outside world.

"If you marry the right person, you will be happy all the time." Cai Ling looked back at her with a smile, after all, Tao Tao couldn't find such a careful and pure husband with a lantern.

"Is Mrs. Jiang dissatisfied with her marriage?" Chutz hurriedly chased two steps.

"What do you mean by that?" Cai Ling asked.

"Madame's eyes are full of sadness, and there is no such momentum that women who are cared for should have." Chutz is direct.

"Maybe you're right. But my eyes are not all sad, you don't see my high spirits. Cai Ling had a hard mouth, and after finishing speaking, she showed a light smile to Xiao Chuan.

Whew......

The four good horses rushed over, Cai Ling didn't have time to look back, and saw Tao Tao with a serious face running out of the yard in a hurry, Cai Ling grabbed Xiao Chuan's hand, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" “

Tao Tao was about to answer, but the black-clothed guard had already handed over his hand to report: "Young Master Qiqi, my subordinates have searched all over the land within a radius of fifty miles, but they have not seen the whereabouts of the young master. “

"Missing?" Cai Ling unconsciously showed a wry smile, "Can someone of such a big age still get lost?" Maybe I'm going to visit the places of interest, and I'll always come back later. ”

"It's no joke!" Tao Tao's anxious upper body swayed from side to side, "The young master has not returned since she went out this morning, and she has cried urgently." ”

Cai Ling knew that "she" meant Liang Mingyue, and now they didn't know how to call Liang Mingyue, so they all referred to "she".

"You tell me about it. How did he leave alone in the morning, and how did he leave? Cai Ling asked.

"This matter has to start with your plate of almond crisp, which is the most unpalatable almond crisp I have ever tasted." When Tao Tao saw her, he suddenly felt a little more stable in his heart, and he spoke more slowly.

"To the point!" Pick the coria lightly.

"The young master is just the opposite of me, he seems to like your almond crisp quite a bit, and he ate two in one go. After eating, let me find you, but Ben Shao learned from the family that you actually drove to Peach Blossom Valley by yourself. It's not the first time you've done this, and I don't think it's okay if you don't take us to Ben Shao without permission. ”

"However, as soon as Ben Shao turned his head, the master was gone, and chased out of the mansion, only to see an inky figure riding farther and farther on the horse, and it was already missing in an instant."

It turned out not to be dazzling! It turned out to be really him! Riding a horse on a slippery mountain road on a snowy road, don't you want to die?

She didn't say a word, but put Xiao Chuan's hand into Chutz's hand, jumped on a reddish-brown horse, and patted the horse at a gallop.

The wind was cold, she didn't have time to pull on the hat of her cloak, and the goose feathers and snow were blowing, and she only watched the road ahead.

My mind was spinning, but I didn't know where to go.

Driving all the way back from Peach Blossom Valley, she was afraid of slippery roads in snowy weather, so she walked very slowly, and she didn't see anything unusual along the way. Passing by Merlin, it seems that there are one or two horses tethered to the tree, maybe he went to Merlin?

Although the road to Merlin is not as tortuous and steep as entering the Peach Blossom Valley, it is also a country road after all. She knew that she should rein in the horse's horse, but her legs still clamped the horse's belly in disobedience.

It was only through the glimmer of the moon overhead, and the ability of this good horse to see her way, that she finally reached Merlin.

I didn't want to think about it all the way along the way, so I only jumped off the horse, looking at the shadows of the trees, and my heart was already beating like a drum.

What kind of people dare to break into this sea of flowers at night?

It's too risky, so let's leave!

At least look for it at the observation pavilion halfway up the mountain?

Two voices collided in one place in my head. She ran away and broke into the dense Meiling.

The quiet but occasional sound of the wind came from time to time, and a large piece of ice fell from the branches of the tree, just above her head, and she slipped under her feet in fright, fell down the hillside, and when she got up, she still ran in the direction of the viewing pavilion.

She didn't know if she would really dare to shout his name at the Silent Sky Mountain when she ran to the observation pavilion. But she was determined to give it a try.

It's just that as soon as he heard that he was in danger, he couldn't control himself, and if he died because of this, then forget it, anyway, it's nothing more than this life anyway.

In the empty mountains and valleys, she leaned forward with half of her body and shouted over and over again: "Shen Muchi...... Shen Muchi. “

"If you hear it, answer me......"

Until the two families at the foot of the mountain, they lit oil lamps one after another, and the little light flickered like distant stars in the night. She knew that if she shouted again, the villagers would come to her with torches and sticks to settle accounts, so she ran out of Merlin in despair.

Fortunately, the horse was still there, and she jumped on the horse's back, patted the horse's buttocks, and searched more carefully all the way back, so as not to miss the slightest clue.

Along the way, when she returned to Huaiyuan City, it was already the end of the day.

She stood at the gate for a while, and when she looked far away, her neck was already sore and she could not see the person she wanted to see, so she led her horse slowly into the gate.

The noodle stall in Nanshi was not far away, and she glanced at it, the warm scene of the two of them sitting and eating noodles last night flashed quickly in her mind, and she felt a sour feeling in her heart, and she couldn't help but turn her eyes.

"Miss......" Someone was calling her, and she knew that this voice was Liang Mingyue's handmaiden.

When she turned around, the maid and the two black-clothed guards were happily waving to her, so it seemed that Shen Muchi should be safe, and a hanging heart slowly returned to its original position, and was about to step forward to find out.

The maid ran to her: "Miss, has you learned the good news?" ”

Cai Ling led the horse and walked two more steps to the noodle stall, the brave man on the battlefield only stayed outside for a few more hours, and now it is not good news to come back safely.

In order to shelter from the wind and snow, a curtain hung down outside the bamboo shed of the noodle stall, and for a while she couldn't see the situation inside, and the corners of her lips hooked: "What is the good news?" ”

"Our young lady, she ......," the maid had just spoken.

"Sister Ling?" A pleasant voice sounded from behind, and when I turned around, I saw Liang Mingyue tiptoeing and wearing a fur for the man in the ink-colored suit.

"Miss, you must not tiptoe now." The maid hurried up to them and whispered.

Liang Mingyue's delicate little face was covered with red glow, and she glanced at the man beside her: "Young master......"

"That's right. You should take care of yourself now. Shen Muchi smiled slightly, standing with his head held high, which was the high-spirited appearance that Cai Ling liked.

"Sister doesn't know yet." Liang Mingyue turned her head to look at Cai Ling, who looked ignorant, and finally became shy, and then looked at the maid with her, and the waitress spoke: "The young master has not returned for a long time tonight, my young lady is faint, and the accompanying doctor hurriedly diagnoses the pulse, who knows that it is indeed a great thing!" “

"Is it Ximai?" Cai Ling asked.

"Hmm!" Liang Mingyue smiled like a peach blossom, "Sister, can I be happy for the young master and me?" “

Cai Ling smiled and nodded: "Hmm." It's a pleasure. Congratulations! “

"Thank you, sister. In this way, Mingyue can finally do her part to share the worries of the young master. Liang Mingyue pulled the corner of Shen Muchi's big shyness, unable to hide her shyness.

"Very good indeed!" Cai Ling felt that the swan-like snow seemed to be a mess, and she gradually couldn't see clearly, these damn tears, but don't fall at this critical time, "It's getting late, I'll go home first." Be careful, too. “

She turned, leaped slightly, and was already on horseback.

Because she was facing away from them, she was not in a hurry, and only pulled up the hat of her cloak to cover her head, and then galloped her horse.

Huaiyuan City is not big, and soon ran to the gate of the mansion, and the guards who stayed behind said that the little young master and the second lady soldiers went to find the young master in two ways, but they didn't know if they found it.

She told the guards that they had been found, and that they would come back from time to time, so she didn't have to worry.

The guard got on his horse, and she asked him what he was going to do, and he only said that he would go and inform the young master.

She threw away her whip and sat on the steps at the entrance of the house, it was ridiculous to be so headless and brainless to find someone, so she didn't know when it would be the head.

When I was a child, I read that the book said that fate was engraved on the Sansheng Stone, not that he didn't come, but the time hadn't come yet. She and Shen Muchi have known each other since they were ten years old, the years are like songs, time flies, and they have even experienced marriage and cohabitation, but they still have never had a chance.

If there is fate, why is Shili Meiling looking back and forth, but there is no trace of him?

If there is fate, why has he stood on the side of the city gate for so long, and he can't wait for the slightest figure of him riding his horse back?

If there is fate, the noodle stall in the south of the city, the first person to find him should be her, not Liang Mingyue.

Mingyue, the youngest daughter of the Ministry of Labor, heard that she grew up in the love of her eldest brother under the care of her parents, although she is not a big family with hairpins for generations, but she is also Zhong Ming Dingshi, proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is praised for her life.

How perfect it would be for a beautiful woman like her, who was ashamed of herself, to give birth to the first prince that the entire dynasty had been looking forward to. Why is her heart sour?

The long alley is also lit with brightly lit plum lanterns.

She looked up at the goose feather snow flying in the sky, and felt that it was still in the noisy Chang'an City, and it was more comfortable to sit in front of the window of Dongxi Building and drink a pot of Luori red to enjoy the snow scene overnight.

Suddenly, Mr. Yu's words came back to my mind: Don't stare at the snow for too long, beware of snow blindness.

Then he closed his gaze, buried his head between his legs, and the thick rabbit fur hat buckled his whole head, as if falling into an illusory dream, and there was no sound in the quiet street, and the tears fell in two lines so unhappily.

When the car came, the silence was broken, and she wanted to stand up, only to find that her tears had not been wiped away, but fortunately there was a hat to cover it, and she just had to pat the snow on her body as if nothing had happened.

The sound of extremely light footsteps only sounded twice, and the hat was taken off, and she raised her head impatiently, and saw Shen Muchi standing in front of her, looking at her condescendingly.

When they looked at each other, she gradually smiled: "I can't drive a horse or not, just a moment back, your car will arrive." I have to practice more in the future. “

After that, he has already pushed the door into the house.

Cai Ling returned to the room, sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and gradually felt a tingling pain under the knee of her right leg, and looked down, but she didn't know when she broke the skin, and a little blood soaked the hem of her skirt.

She hurriedly went to the cabinet to get the gold creation medicine, and was rummaging through it, when the door was pushed open with a palm. Dare to push the door into this "Miss Song" room like this, who else can be the "uncle" who came out of the capital?

"Young master. I really don't have the heart to gossip with you right now. Leave it all for tomorrow? She suppressed her anger and tried to keep her tone as soft as possible.

"Are you looking for this?" He stood at the door, holding a bottle of Bao Helin's white jade paste in his hand.

She looked back, thought for a moment, or decided to be a good man and not to suffer the loss in front of her, and stepped forward: "How do you know that I need this thing?" “

She had already spread out her hand and placed it in front of him, but he would not let go, and had no intention of giving it to her.

Do you have to kneel down and thank you? Such a thought flashed through her mind, and she only poured out a basin of water.

Bao Helin's white jade paste is good, but she can use the most ordinary gold medicine for this bruise, and she really doesn't need to work hard. Besides, I injured my knee, how can I kneel?

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to continue looking, he raised his minibus slightly and pointed in the direction of the bed, motioning for her to go and sit down.

She did so, and he smiled with satisfaction, approached and squatted down, squatted down on the edge of her skirt, lifted the pleated skirt up, pulled the right trouser leg up to the knee, looked at the wound carefully, and then said: "The blood is soaked from the skirt, you and I don't have eyes."

He had already seen it. She was still wondering why she didn't feel it at all at first, could it be that something was wrong with the pain? Know earlier that the bleeding should be stopped sooner.

The cold plaster on his hand had been applied very gently to her wound, and the slight stinging pain made her frown slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want to ride out on horseback in the snow?" ”

"Practice riding. It's not like that. She raised her head, not daring to look at him at her feet.

"Tao Tao told me, you went to find me." After wiping the medicine, he took out a plain white silk cloth from his arms, carefully bandaged her wounds, and lowered her trouser legs.

"That's right." She suddenly thrust her waist and said, "I know that I am very important, where did I go?" Do you know that if something happens to you, we're all going to lose our heads! “

"It's not that serious." He raised the hem of his clothes and sat side by side with her on the side of the bed, "I was worried about you, so I went to Peach Blossom Valley to take a look, and I was very sad to see that you and Yu Moyan had a good conversation." But if you think about it carefully, you have always been informal, you have a lot of friendship with Tao Tao, and you have a lot of friendship with Uncle Thirteen, and you have something to do with many sons in the capital, if you are angry about everything, I am afraid that I will be angry to death a long time ago. ”

"Young Master! You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. What does it mean to have something to do with many sons in the capital? Men and women can't stand it, and they are slandered by you like this, will this girl go out to mix in the future? Cai Ling reprimanded him, and then he felt more comfortable, and asked: "Since you are not angry, where did you go later?" Why did you come back so late and go outside to hide and eat noodles? ”

"What do you mean by hiding from noodles? Why not go in and eat a bowl of noodles when you are hungry after finishing your errands, just past the noodle stall? Shen Muchi moved to her side.

"Dongxi Lou is so good at wine and food, you say that it is not as good as the chef in your house, just drink and don't eat food, you don't remember when you have to go back for dinner! Actually ate the broken noodles of the broken noodle stall! "Cai Ling Qi is not in one place.

"You didn't take me to eat yet." One of Shen Muchi's hands was already on her shoulder.

Cai Ling was a little relieved, and couldn't help asking, "What is it that makes you so concerned?" ”

A dark cloud appeared in his eyes, and soon disappeared. He took her and lay down on the bed, his smile on his handsome face, and said softly, "The secret of the country." ”

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Where the bird doesn't lay eggs, what secrets can there be! After she glanced at him coldly, she suddenly said, "I have something to ask the young master for a favor." “

"Say." He said aloud.

"Can you not call me 'Little Four' in the future, it's easy to confuse it with Mingyue. Besides, there are so many people in the fourth place in the world. “

"Then what will I call you in the future?" After a moment of silence, he asked.

"Miss Song. Miss Song is very good. She laughed.

"Jiang." He suddenly said, "Mingyue and I are not what you think, since she entered the palace, I have made it very clear to her that I am just using her as a cover to reassure the ancestors." After all, the old ancestor is already in his prime, and I can't bear to worry her anymore. You should be able to understand. And also...... I'll tell you, on the night of Mingyue's birthday, I reviewed and criticized until late at night, how could I put any bright lights, everything was just Yunhe's idea. “

"What are you talking to me about this?" Cai Ling closed her eyes, "That's what I didn't say." From now on, you can call it whatever you like, except for 'Jiang's'. “

He smiled with satisfaction, hugged the person beside him tightly, and closed his eyelashes.
