The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu Muqing got up early and dressed up carefully, combing his hair in front of the gray bronze mirror, and it happened that Laifu came up with breakfast, smiled at Liu Muqing and said: "Liu Shaoxia is early, which girl is going to have a tryst with the mirror today." ”

Liu Muqing endured his weak heart and said: "I have something to go out today, if Uncle Duan wakes up to find me or Miss has something to call me, you can tell them, I have something to go out." ”

Lai Fuyin asked, "What's the matter?" or I'll order someone to do it!" Yibi said and looked at Liu Muqing's face. It seems that the answer can be found in his face.

Liu Muqing didn't know how to answer, he answered truthfully for fear of being teased by him, and he was afraid of being exposed by him if he lied. I had to be silent.

After the words fell for a while, Liu Muqing didn't make a sound, and Laifu hurriedly continued: "Do you want me to prepare a horse for you?" ”

Liu Mu Qingyin said: "That's fine, thank you!" After speaking, Laifu went out to prepare for the horse.

Liu Muqing hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hair and then followed, walking like a fly in the garden, afraid of being caught by Duan Lulu, when he wanted to go out, it would be difficult to fly, and soon he went outside the house, and he came to Fula, and Liu Muqing took his leave as soon as he got on the horse.

Riding a horse on a crowded street is much slower than walking, and riding too fast is afraid of hitting someone. The horse walked slowly through the street, and after a while, he came to the Xiaoxiang Teahouse, only to see people coming and going.

Liu Muqing got off the horse at the door, ordered Xiao Er to tie up the horse, just entered and looked around, only to see Zijin sitting in a corner and beckoning to him, Liu Muqing hurriedly walked over and sat down opposite Zijin.

Zijin saw him and smiled: "What kind of tea do you drink?" ”

Liu Muqing smiled and said, "It's up to you." ”

"Okay, I'll drink Pu'er," Zijin called Xiao Er for two cups of tea and some snacks.

Liu Muqing smiled at Zijin and said, "How are you lately, I haven't seen you in a few days." ”

Zijin pouted and smiled: "Besides, it's not easy to find you, looking for you to spend money but I didn't see you, fortunately you came today, otherwise my silver would have been spent in vain." ”

Liu Muqing was puzzled and stunned.

Zijin looked at Liu Muqing and was stunned and hurriedly said: "What I said is that the maid in Duanfu is really too disagreeable, I went to you and said that you were not there, so I asked her to wait for you to come back and hand over the letter to you, but she reached out to me to ask for silver, such a maid should be in charge." ”

Liu Muqing remembered that it was Qiu Yue's reason and smiled: "But isn't it? Yesterday I asked her for a letter, but she came to me and asked me for silver, and I also spent silver, next time you send a letter and buy a carrier pigeon with me." ”

Zijin smiled and continued: "I remind you that you are under the same roof with her, and it is better to be cautious in doing things under her nose in the future. ”

Liu Muqing thought about it and said it made sense, because he said: "It's also terrible to think about, thank you for reminding me." ”

Zijin sneered: "Look at your terrible face, is it so scary? You have to use villain's tricks to deal with this kind of villain, and you can also catch her handle." And said that the maid of Duan Mansion is so ignorant, why is no one in charge?"

Liu Muqing sighed: "Hey, Duan Yunzhi is doing things in the court all day, how can he have the heart to pay attention to it, not to mention that Duan Lulu is going to pay attention to the people who travel around all day, there is no one else, and he also said that now Duan Yunzhi is unconscious after being assassinated, Duan Lulu and we went up to the Tianshan Mountain to find Snow Lotus, Duan Mansion suddenly has no owner, and the little guys must be even more rampant." ”

Zijin hurriedly said: "No wonder, I went to your little guys and said that you were not there, I was about to ask you, it turns out that you went to Tianshan." ”

Liu Mu Qingyin said: "Yes, after the assassination of Yunzhi, he was hit by the Western Regions with incense and scattered bones, and he needed Tianshan Snow Lotus to heal, and it happened that we met Li Jianqiu at the Longmen Inn and then met Xuanhai in the Tianshan Mountains. ”

Zijin hurriedly opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Muqing seriously, and asked, "Let's hear about Li Jianqiu's revenge for his sister?"

Liu Muqing then replied: "The sea urging guy is really powerful, we are not his opponents, but the sea urging monster is pitiful, abandoned by his parents since he was a child, begging for a living and being bullied by people, seeing through the warmth and coldness of people, and later fell in love with Li Yuanyang should have had a beautiful love, but Li Yuanyang was killed." ”

Zijin showed a sympathetic look, as if this sympathy was the motherly love that women are born with, and hurriedly asked, "Then who killed Li Yuanyang?"

Liu Muqing said: "I don't know, but Li Jianqiu seems to have figured out that he won't look for a poster revenge, so he said that he wants to find out the real murderer." ”

"When is the time for revenge, you kill the enemy today, tomorrow the enemy's son will come to kill you, generations of time have been wasted on revenge, it is better to put down the butcher's knife, so that you can live happily, and your children and grandchildren will also have time to do their own things. Zijin said on the other side and ate some tea and snacks.

Liu Mu Qingyin said: "Yes, that's exactly the truth, but how many people can put down this butcher's knife for their own dignity, and some even regard revenge as a family motto and the rules of the ancestors." ”

Zijin looked at the door and said with a smile: "That's it, don't talk about this, my mother said that my mother was reasonable, and my mother said that my mother was reasonable, and I just saw you riding a horse." ”

Liu Muqing hurriedly smiled: "Hahaha...!, riding a horse is much slower than walking, this will be a few steps later than you, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"That's stupid! This crowd shouldn't have been on horseback. But it's better to ride a horse, go, I'll take you somewhere. Zijin said and stood up.

The two paid to go out, and the little two pulled the horse, and Liu Muqing said to Zijin: "Is one horse enough for two people?"

Zijin glanced at him and said, "I'm a girl who can't ride a horse." ”

Liu Muqing continued: "Okay, then you sit in the front, and I sit in the back so safely." After speaking, Zijin got on the horse, and Liu Muqing sat behind and pulled the reins and whispered, "Ride!" The horse walked slowly through the crowded street. Only then did Liu Muqing carefully see the snow-white skin on Zijin's neck, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and his heart was a little out of shape.

The horse slowly walked through the street, out of the city for a long time, the open road was sparsely populated, Liu Muqing began to whip up quickly, the horse galloped all the way, "Drive! ......Drive!" Several voices echoed in the air, Zijin's hair was like a breeze blowing on Liu Muqing's face, and Liu Muqing asked for a long time: "Where are we going!"

Zijin said: "We're going to go where we fell off the cliff, don't you know there's a good place there?"

At this time, the horse "da! da......" galloped all the way, "huh!" "huh!" "huh!" The sound of the wind covered Zijin's voice, and Liu Muqing said loudly: "What are you going to do there!" Zijin continued: "You'll know if you go!"

"Drive......... When the ......! was young, the two rode horses to the bamboo forest that day, and the two got off the horse Liu Muqing tied their horses outside the bamboo forest, and asked Zijin: "What are we doing here?" ”

Zijin smiled: "Don't be afraid, I won't push you down, there is a good place for you to follow." After speaking, Zijin crossed the bamboo forest path in front, although the bamboo forest path was covered by bamboo leaves, but the path could be faintly seen, and there were two forks in the road when there were few times, Zijin pointed to the path on the left and said: "The left is the path leading to the cliff that day, and the right is the path leading to a good place, which is exactly what we are going to." ”

"Damn, shit! If only I hadn't taken the left road that day. Liu Muqing walked one wall and said another.

Zijin turned around and said, "At that time, I ran so fast, who could remember it all of a sudden, and said, we don't have anything to do." You are not to blame for this, those who do not know are not guilty. ”

Liu Muqing smiled: "Hehe...!" The two of them came to a quick clearing, only to see that the clearing was very flat, and there was a lake in the middle that was crystal clear and sparkling in the breeze, and the two of them came to the lake to see all kinds of fish and colored pebbles at the bottom of the lake. There is a thatched pavilion on the shore of the lake, with a few peach trees, and behind the small pavilion there are slim bamboos, dense bamboos surrounding the lake. These bamboos are as indestructible as warriors enclosing and protecting their kings.

"Do you know what this place is called?" Zijin looked at Liu Muqing and said, "This place is called Tianjing Lake. ”

Liu Muqing asked: "Why is this called Tianjing Lake, although the lake water is as clear as a mirror, he does not have the courage of Rong Tian." ”

Zijin glanced at Liu Muqing and said, "According to what you say, all the mirrors you look at should be the size of your face." Tianjing Lake was picked up by my cousin, and we used to come here a lot. ”

Liu Muqing was secretly a little jealous in his heart, and squeezed a stiff smile on his face, as if this face did not belong to him, he borrowed it, and it was so awkward to use. Then he asked, "Who is your cousin?"

Zijin said: "My cousin's name is Sima Baigu is one year older than me, our two families have always had a good relationship in the next life, in fact, there is no one who is close, my cousin has a bit of talent, often does poetry and painting, our family likes it very much, often comes to me to play, here is where he found out and brought me, I know." ”

Liu Muqing became more and more jealous when he heard it, as if he smelled the thick vinegar smell and casually "oh!".

Zijin seemed to smell the vinegar smell and hurriedly looked up at the sky and said, "It's so hot! It seems to be raining in this sultry heat, so let's go to the grass pavilion to rest first." After speaking, the two arrived at the grass pavilion, only to see the grass pavilion written on both sides: "The sun and moon shine in Tianjing Lake, and the shore of the lake is as green as jade." Liu Muqing looked up for a long time.

Zijin hurriedly said, "Oh! This is what my cousin wrote. Liu Muqing heard that it was written by his cousin, and just as he couldn't find a place to vent his jealousy, he suddenly heard Zijin say this and hurriedly said: "This lake is not only shining on the sun and the moon, but also on my own face, and also on the shore of these flowers and plants." ”

Zijin hurriedly sneered: "Hey! You're quite careful, why don't you try it." ”

Liu Mu Qingyin said: "How can we be such rough people. With that, the two of them went to the pavilion and made it.

Zijin hurriedly said: "I think you are deliberately drilling the horns of the bull, not looking for my cousin." ”

When Liu Muqing heard this, his heart was a little weak, and he hurriedly stretched out two fingers to make an oath posture and said, "I swear, I... Not... Yes I'm just telling the truth! If I have half a lie, I'll ...... If the sky thunders, you can't die well!. It is as if swearing is a cure for all liars.

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud sound of "boom!", and a lightning bolt melted from the sky, which frightened Liu Muqing, and Zijin hurriedly laughed when he saw this: "Hahaha......! ”

Liu Muqing said embarrassedly: "This god doesn't have eyes. As he was talking, he suddenly said, "Boom, boom!" and it rained heavily.

Zijin then smiled: "I also said that God doesn't have eyes, and this time I will shed tears." ”

Liu Muqing said: "Damn! Damn! This day is really not a good time, and I have lost a lot of Yaxing." ”

The ancients said that 'not to be happy with things, not to be sad about oneself' and said that this season is cloudy to rainy, cloudy and sunny, rain comes and goes in a hurry, it doesn't matter!"

"Miss Zijin, you really have a good attitude. ”

Zijin glanced at Liu Muqing and continued: "Why are you younger than me, why are you called Zijin girl, you should be called sister." ”

Liu Muqing said with a smile: "Sister Zijin, it's a little unpleasant to call, so I'll call you Zijin so kind." ”

When Zijin heard this, he secretly thought: "There is a trace of admiration between himself and Liu Muqing" As soon as he heard about it, he wanted to be cordial with himself. couldn't help blushing, afraid that Liu Muqing would find something wrong, so he hurriedly turned his head slightly.

Liu Muqing didn't hear an answer for a long time, so he had to silently watch the rain hit the surface of the lake like a line, and the lake spread out in circles, only to see the circles of ripples slowly spreading and not knowing where to disappear, and then remembered that the wrinkles on Imperial Doctor Jia's face were like circles in the lake when he laughed, so he laughed.

Zijin turned around and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Liu Mu Qingyin said with a smile: "Look at the ripples in this lake, it doesn't look like the wrinkles that some people laugh at. ”

"Hey, hey, boring, you're making fun of me again!"

After Liu Muqing heard Zijin's words, he knew that Zijin was suspicious of her, and hurriedly said: "I'm talking about the fat-headed and big-eared doctor who came to treat Duan Yunzhi and the disease, and his smile is very similar to the ripples on the surface of this lake." After saying that, the two laughed for a while.

Zijin continued: "You're so boring, thinking about such nonsense, but it's quite humorous. ”

Liu Muqing sighed: "Hey!

Zijin smiled and said, "Oh, why bother with this?"

"Hey, you don't understand, although you are at ease in Duanfu now, after all, you have to pay attention everywhere when you look at people's faces and act under the fence, and you are very troubled in your heart. ”

Zijin hurriedly said: "What is this called, according to what you said, those little guys are not bitter when they see their masters acting authentically." ”

Liu Muqing looked at Zijin and said: "The little guys can also clearly see the master's face, so that they can act clearly, but what about me, how can I compare to the little guys, but I can't see the master's face clearly, and I don't know where to do it." This is like a blind man and a normal person encountering gold falling on the ground at the same time, even if the blind man steps on it and thinks it is a stone and does not pick it up, a normal person can see it clearly from a distance.

"Well, it makes sense. Zijin looked at Liu Muqing and said: "I am also locked up at home all day long, my mother is strictly guarded, I don't have such freedom as you, I came out today just because my eldest aunt was sick, my mother went to visit, my father and brother were working in the court, and no one at home came out secretly, if it was another day, how could there be such an opportunity." ”

As he was talking, the rain was sunny unconsciously, Liu Muqing pointed to the surface of the lake and said: "It's rare for you to come out to play today, don't say these disappointing words, you can see that this lake has grown a lot." ”

Seeing that the rain was clear, Zijin walked out of the grass pavilion to the edge of the lake, beckoned to Liu Muqing, pointed to the rainbow and said, "Come and see that there is a rainbow there, it's so beautiful." ”

Liu Muqing hurriedly ran over and stood beside Zijin and said: "The rainbow must not be pointed at with your hands, I heard Aunt Wang next door say before, 'Use your fingers to rainbow, your hand will bend like a rainbow'." ”

Zijin smiled and said, "It's all a lie, I'm from my little finger to the big one, you can see where it's bent!" said as he stretched out his hand to Liu Muqing.

Liu Muqing looked at the snow-white slender hand, and couldn't help but pull it up, feeling that he was about to touch it, and suddenly heard Zijin's "Ah!" and hurriedly hid behind Liu Muqing, Liu Muqing scolded secretly: "What the hell, okay, I haven't touched it yet, and I'm scared like this." At this time, Zijin trembled behind him and whispered, "Ghost ...... Ghost... Look at the ghosts on the lake. ”

Liu Muqing looked at the lake with fixed eyes, and sure enough, there was a corpse floating on the lake, Liu Muqing smiled and said: "The sky is blue and the sun is white, how can there be any ghosts, it's just a corpse!"

Zijin said angrily: "You also said that let's leave this place quickly." Before Liu Muqing could speak, Zijin ran away, and Liu Muqing had no choice but to follow.

Zijin walked from wall to wall and looked back, and said to Liu Muqing: "You won't follow!" After speaking, he sped up and walked away, Liu Muqing secretly laughed behind him, because he said: "What is there to be afraid of, when I was a child, every time we swept the tomb and put candy on the tomb, we went to the grave to steal food." ”

Zijin spat on the spot without looking back and said, "Phew, bah! You have to respect the dead, you are embarrassed to say it." When Liu Muqing heard this, he was a little unhappy and didn't say anything, but followed silently, and when he was young, the two went out of the bamboo forest. Rode back to the city.

Running all the way, for a long time, they arrived in the city, and when they arrived in the city, Zijin was afraid that the two of them riding a horse together would be a little conspicuous, so he insisted on getting off the horse and walking, Liu Muqing had no choice but to dismount, and walked for a while before sending Zijin to the outside of the house, Zijin said: "I don't know when we will be able to meet each other this time." ”

Liu Mu Qingyin said: "Look at what you said as if you were parting with life and death, but next time you send a letter to buy a carrier pigeon." After saying that, the two laughed,

Zijin continued: "Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

Liu Muqing rode on a horse and went to Duanfu, when he was young, he returned to Duanfu, the guards took the horse to feed, Liu Muqing walked towards the courtyard, just arrived in the front yard and saw Duan Lulu, Chunhua and Qiuyue playing in the small pavilion, Liu Muqing slowed down and wanted to slip over gently, just walked behind them, suddenly Duan Lulu turned around and shouted: "Okay, where did you go, don't call me when you go out to play." Qiu Yue opened her mouth to say something, but Liu Muqing glanced at her before stopping.

Duan Lulu didn't answer for a long time, and then shouted: "What about you, how can you be stupid when you see a ghost!"

Liu Muqing hurriedly said: "How do you know? ”

Duan Lulu said with a smile: "The blue sky and the white sun, you want to scare me, haha...!" Yibi said and looked up at the sky, and Chunhua and Qiuyue laughed together.

Liu Muqing said: "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to take a look, you really encountered a dead corpse, whether you dare to go or not." ”

Duan Lulu saw that Liu Muqing's face was serious, and he didn't look like he was lying, so he hurriedly said, "Seriously, is this really the case?"

"There's no joke about that. ”

Duan Lulu hurriedly said: "Really! Let's go and take a look!"

Liu Mu Qingyin said: "This kind of human life, it's useless for a few of us to go, call Uncle Chu to take a look together, we are not afraid of one of them, and the second is to solve a case." ”

"Do you still need to say this, Uncle Chu's family is looking at Daddy's condition at this time, so we have the kung fu to fight the grasshoppers. Duan Lulu said that Bi walked towards the middle courtyard, so he turned around and sent Qiu Yue to collect the gnats and play again next time, and Qiu Yue answered and collected the gnats.

Liu Muqing and the other three came to Duan Yunzhi's room together, and before they could enter, Duan Lulu shouted: "It's terrible! It's terrible! It's dead!" Liu Muqing listened and thought that it was good that he didn't lie, otherwise this matter would definitely make a big fuss, and he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around when the time came.

Chu Qingfeng, Fang Wenxi and Imperial Doctor Jia tiptoed out with Duan Yunzhi in their hands, and Chu Qingfeng said with a straight face: "Lulu, you said that the dead man was just now, where is it?"

Fang Wenxi hurriedly picked up and said, "Ghost girl, you're not kidding, are you?"

Duan Lulu angrily pointed at Liu Muqing and said, "Ask him?"

Liu Muqing said: "Uncle Chu, Uncle Duan, it's like this, just now when I went out to play, I encountered a corpse floating in the lake. ”

Fang Wenxi said: "This is true!"

Before Liu Muqing could answer, Duan Lulu opened her mouth and said, "Yes! Yes!" As if she had seen it, Fang Wenxi didn't say anything when she saw Duan Lulu's answer.

Chu Qingfeng continued: "Then Liu Shaoxia will take us to have a look." ”

"Okay!"

Duan Yunzhi's face turned pale, and he said weakly: "That... The old man will not accompany you. Cough... Ahem...!"

Chu Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Brother Duan, here, you don't have to work hard, you go back and take care of your children's bones is the most important thing." After saying that, he sent the little servant to help him in to rest.

Chu Qingfeng continued: "Lulu, you go and take care of your father." ”

Fang Wenxi glanced at Chu Qingfeng and said, "You old fool, why don't you know Lulu's temperament, can she stand it?"

Duan Lulu hurriedly went up and took Fang Wenxi's hand, looked at her gratefully and smiled and said, "It's still Aunt Fang who knows me best, it's a little roundworm in my stomach." ”

"Haha......! The ghost girl turned around and scolded me for being a roundworm. When he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Chu Qingfeng thought for a long time and said, "That's why I can't let her do it." ”

Imperial Doctor Jia hurriedly smiled and said, "Go, go, brother, Brother Duan will be handed over to me, you can rest assured that you can go, there are still little servants here!" After speaking, everyone thanked them and went out of the courtyard.

Everyone rode horses across the street, and the people on the street saw that Chu Qingfeng and several of his subordinates were wearing brocade clothes and guards, and they all consciously got out of the way, and made a small path in the middle, and Liu Muqing took the lead and whipped all the way towards Tianjing Lake.
