Chapter 48: Fireworks at the top of the mountain
Meng Xiaoran noticed that the person under her was moving, and immediately closed her eyes, for fear that they would find out that she was awake, the man put her on the ground and walked over, the three of them stood together vigilantly, looking at the young man in front of him, the man was Lu Ziqing, at this time he was different from the past, wearing a black night clothes, and the temperament of his whole body had changed greatly, less modest and elegant, and more solemn.
The three of them pulled out their swords from behind their backs and rushed over quickly, Lu Ziqing didn't make a move, Lan Yue beside him calmly pulled out his sword, his whole body exuded a murderous aura, and stopped in front of Lu Ziqing, and the moment the three people approached, they suddenly rose to the ground.
"Dingding" Meng Xiaoran heard the sound of the sword body striking, but after a while, everything calmed down, "You can wake up." ”
Meng Xiaoran opened his eyes and got up from the ground, looking at Lu Ziqing in front of him, he was puzzled, but he still thanked him, "Thank you Lu Gongzi for saving your life." ”
Lu Ziqing smiled, "I don't dare to take the grace of saving my life, I believe that even if I don't stop it, you won't have to worry about your life, but it will take a little more effort." ”
The three of them had been subdued by Lanyue, and they were tied to the tree one by one, Lu Ziqing and Meng Xiaoran walked aside, and he suddenly spoke, "Are you very curious, why am I here?" ”
Meng Xiaoran shook his head, "Everyone has their own secrets, just like me, since Lu Gongzi can do nothing, then I can do the same, as long as what you do will not harm me." ”
"Don't worry, I won't, I'll send you back." Lu Ziqing seemed to be relieved and returned to his previous appearance.
Meng Xiaoran turned around and glanced at the three people, suddenly walked over, found the person who was just carrying him, unlocked his acupoint, his face was as cold as frost, and his voice was the same, "Did Liu Ruxue make you do this?" What kind of deal is she making with you? ”
The man looked at the stunning face in front of him, and suddenly smiled, "It seems that you are not only beautiful, but also very smart, yes, I have taken a fancy to her, and she offered to give you to us, so I let her go......"
"Bang" Meng Xiaoran suddenly stretched out her hand and clicked on his acupoint when she heard this, she had already understood the cause and effect, her heart was cold, Liu Ruxue was just a person who could not be messed with, but from now on, she is her enemy, and one day, she will get it back.
Lu Ziqing seemed to see her thoughts, but she didn't know how to persuade her, the two returned to the courtyard of the back mountain in silence all the way, Meng Xiaoran nodded at him and thanked him, and then flew in, returned to the house and lay down, but her heart couldn't be calm for a long time, if she could, she wanted to rush into Liu Ruxue's room now, stunned her and threw her into the mountains, but she knew that she couldn't, she had to endure it.
At this time in the forest, only the three men who were tied to the tree were left, and at this time, two people flew down from the tree and stopped in front of them, it was Shen Qian and Qingfeng's master and servant, Shen Qian walked to the person who had just been questioned by Meng Xiaoran and stood still, untied his acupoint, the man's face was full of anger, "In the end, there is no end, if you want to kill, you have to scrape a pleasure, why toss back and forth?" ”
"Who are you? Why? Shen Qian's voice was cold, and there was a murderous aura on his face.
The man sneered, "It's just that I want to play with a woman, how can there be so many why?" ”
Shen Qian couldn't say anything when he saw it, so he nodded to Qingfeng, and the two of them untied the three people tied to the tree together, Shen Qian picked up the boss who was the leader, and the remaining two Qingfeng had one in one hand, and several people quickly disappeared.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Chen family got up, and Liu Ruxue's master and servant also rushed over early in the morning, and when they saw Meng Xiaoran and Lu Yi busy packing up their things together, they were immediately stunned, and their faces were full of surprise.
Then he asked tentatively, "Did you hear anything last night?" ”
Chen sat on the side and snorted, "What's the sound, is Ruxue dreaming?" ”
Liu Ruxue ignored Chen, but looked at Meng Xiaoran, Meng Xiaoran looked at her calmly, and said with a smile: "Is it difficult for the eldest lady to hear something?" ”
This is the first time Meng Xiaoran has looked at him, there is no respect in his eyes, as if there is still a mockery, Liu Ruxue is already weak-hearted, and her face is a little unnatural when she looks at it like this, and suddenly thinks of her identity, and immediately scolds angrily, "You are so bold!" How dare a slave look at Miss Ben like this! ”
Meng Xiaoran immediately lowered her head, "The slave doesn't know what the eldest lady means, the eldest lady asked, the slave just replied, I don't know where to make the eldest lady unhappy?" ”
Chen put down the teacup in his hand with a "snap", and snorted coldly, "Ruxue, Lufu is the maid in my yard, and she has always been sensible and polite, you teach my maid in front of me, do you want to accuse me of being a mother who is not disciplined properly?" ”
Liu Ruxue was speechless for a while, wanting to quarrel with her, but Qiu Lu pulled her sleeves behind her, so she couldn't help it, snorted coldly and turned around to leave, and glared at Meng Xiaoran before leaving, and the other party raised her eyebrows and smiled, smiling as if she was provocative.
Liu Ruxue felt a burst of anger in her heart, but she endured it when she thought that Chen was still there, and left with two maids.
The group stayed in Fahua Temple for three days, and finally returned to the Xiangfu on the fourth day, and at this time it was already the nineteenth day of the lunar month, and it was only more than ten days before the New Year's Festival, and the Xiangfu was also busy.
Meng Xiaoran was gradually reused by the Chen family, because Zhang's mother went to Zhuangzi in the countryside to check the accounts, and there were fewer people around the Chen family, so she naturally thought of her, and many things were gradually handed over to her.
After a few more days, the smell of the year became stronger and stronger, the court hall also rested, the ministers who had been busy for a year could finally not go to the court, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, officials above the third rank had to bring their families into the palace to participate in the banquet.
Chen's wife, as a first-class order, also wants to enter the palace, she brought Zhang's mother and green together, Linyuezhai handed over to the green love, the maids and mothers-in-law set up a table of wine in the small kitchen, everyone had a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, rare New Year's Eve, some mother-in-law also took out wine, one by one drank too much and began to carry out the wine order, but it was very lively.
Meng Xiaoran left quietly, she didn't seem to be used to such a lively, from childhood to adulthood, her Chinese New Year's Eve was cold, she was in an orphanage when she was a child, and when she grew up, she was even more lonely, and she could only be alone.
Today's Xiangfu is very lively, the courtyard is hung with lanterns and red silk, a joyful mood, there is no master in the house, the people are naturally at ease, Meng Xiaoran also has no previous scruples and caution, walking alone in the Xiangfu, and finding a pavilion where no one sits down.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve weather was very good, the moon was also very bright, Meng Xiaoran stood in the pavilion, looked up at the moon in the sky, and suddenly felt sad in his heart.
Thinking that there is no hope of going back, my heart is still very sad, even if I have no relatives and friends there, but after all, it is the place where I have lived for more than 20 years, and my feelings have long been integrated into my blood, and I can't forget it.
Tears crept all over her face unconsciously, but Meng Xiaoran didn't feel it, until her vision gradually blurred and she couldn't see the moon anymore, she lowered her head, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"Why are you hiding here crying alone?"
Meng Xiaoran was startled by this sudden sound, and when she turned around, she saw Lu Ziqing standing there, she turned her head and wiped away her tears, and then turned around and saluted him.
"I've seen Master Cousin."
Lu Ziqing smiled, walked up to her and said, "You don't have to call me like that, let's call me Lu Gongzi." ”
Meng Xiaoran stepped back, "Green Fu doesn't dare." ”
Lu Ziqing sighed, then walked to the pavilion, looked at the lake in the distance and stopped talking, and after a long time, he turned to look at Meng Xiaoran and said, "Is it out of the Prime Minister's Mansion that you will call me Lu Gongzi?" ”
Meng Xiaoran frowned and looked at him, not quite understanding the meaning of his words, and in the next moment, the whole person was pulled up by Lu Ziqing, she immediately broke free, but heard him say, "Do you want to be discovered that you have martial arts?" ”
She immediately stopped her hand and wanted to wave it at Lu Ziqing, glared at him and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Take you to the New Year's Festival!" As he spoke, Meng Xiaoran was pulled into the air by him, and quickly left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as she left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Meng Xiaoran began to struggle, but her hand was tightly grasped by Lu Ziqing, and she couldn't break free even if she tried hard, so she had to give up in the end.
The two stopped at the top of a mountain, the wind on the mountain was very strong, Lu Ziqing looked at Meng Xiaoran's hair that was blown by the wind, and took off the cloak to put it on for her, Meng Xiaoran was stunned, and at that moment there was a wonderful feeling in her heart, which made her forget her refusal, and let Lu Ziqing tie the belt in front of her for her.
Then she came back to her senses, and realized that the distance between the two was very close, and immediately took a few steps back, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”
Lu Ziqing laughed, although every time he saw him, his face was full of smiles, but this time the smile was different from the past, it seemed to be happy from the heart, "Isn't it good here?" It's my favorite place to visit, it's the only place where I can calm my heart. ”
Meng Xiaoran looked ahead, the rolling peaks loomed in the moonlight, and she could only dimly see a little shadow, but the moon was surprisingly bright, and she looked up, as if she could touch it as soon as she stretched out her hand.
"Wait a minute." Lu Ziqing said suddenly, and then the whole person disappeared, Meng Xiaoran looked around in surprise, but finally didn't see anyone, so he had to give up and continue to enjoy the moonlight on the top of the mountain in the cold wind.
"Bang bang bang!"
After a while, a loud noise sounded, Meng Xiaoran turned around in surprise, and there were gorgeous fireworks in the sky, cluster by cluster, like blooming chrysanthemums, Lu Ziqing walked to her side, looked at the smile on her face, and also hooked her lips and smiled.
After a long time, the fireworks slowly subsided, leaving a trace of smell in the air, Lu Ziqing asked with a smile, "How is it?" That's what the New Year's Day should feel like, right? ”
Meng Xiaoran was slightly stunned, kept his head up and did not speak for a long time.
