On rainy nights, walking in darkness is not difficult for people who often associate with darkness.

This time, Caidie brought Rong Ruo over, and when she stopped and stood at the gate of the original mansion, looking at this silent scene, especially in the thick ink, there was only a slight lantern fire, which seemed desolate and desolate.

The two heavy doors were covered with white strips, and the heavy rain washed away the mottled red paint, and the cracked hideous marks were like ghosts howling silently on a rainy night.

Caidie pointed up, Rong Ruo nodded, and Caidie jumped in from the wall next to her with a windproof lantern in one hand and Rong Ruo in the other.

As soon as he landed, he saw Bai Yu appear in front of him and beckoned to the two: "Go this way." ”

The pattern in the original mansion is very good, the unique pavilions and water pavilions in the south, as well as various flowers and ponds, but no one has taken care of them for a long time, and it is very messy and dilapidated. The rain can only wash away the dust outside, but it can't wash away the decay inside.

"Little Feather, have you all cleaned up those people?" The lantern carried by Caidie shook Bai Yu's face, and said with a clever smile on his eyebrows: "Don't let people say that the secret guards of our palace are not good." ”

Bai Yu's handsome and cold face didn't look at Cai Die, and the black clothes almost blended into the night, and he only said to Rong Ruo: "The prince is waiting for the girl in the main hall." ”

"Oh, hey, no, no." Caidie was still entangled in this issue, staring at Bai Yu's face meaningfully, and the aura in her tone was too ambiguous, it was hard not to make people think about it.

Bai Yu finally looked at her, pointed to the corner of the west wall and said, "You can go and have a look." ”

Caidie is that the more others ignore her, the more energetic she becomes, but when others are serious, she first feels bored, grabs Rong Ruo, twists her waist and says: "Girl, don't look at him now, he looks like a person now, when he was a thief, he asked our prince to carry it like a chicken, and he looked at the death of Cola, like a monkey." "It's just a little hard to figure it out, obviously I used to be a very noisy character, why has it become more and more boring since I followed the prince.

"Look, Feng Wu is too stupid, Green Sparrow is too stupid, so many people, now it's more funny." Caidie seemed to be whispering, but in a volume that Bai Yu could definitely hear, "Girl, haven't you seen Feng Zhu, a smiling tiger, be careful when you see it." ”

Rong Ruo shook her head, it was the first time she had heard of the name Feng Zhu, but from Caidie's words, the relationship between the few of them seemed to be good, but she was curious about how Mu Beichen gathered these 'strange' people one by one.

Walking to the porch, Rong Ruogang took the umbrella, but he didn't expect Bai Yu to say silently: "The wind is erected in Wufo Mountain, he can hear it." ”

Caidie tilted her head, made a weak willow and helped the wind, and said with a pout: "Girl, look, Xiao Baiyu bullied the slave family." "Everyone agrees that Feng Zhu is the darkest in everyone, if he knows that Caidie is behind his back and says that he is a smiling tiger, he must not give Caidie a stone in a well.

Bai Yu walked inward with a cold face, didn't look at Caidie's pretending to be enchanting, one foot crossed the threshold, and Rong Ruo's voice came through the sound of rain: "Little Feather, if you really have something unspeakable, I have medicine here." Bai Yu's body stiffened, and his two feet forgot to cross the next one, and he almost fell, but fortunately he was good at it, and at the moment of falling, he stepped on his toes and flew directly two steps before he stood firmly.

"Poofha-" Caidie smiled and fell on Rong Ruo, and her delicate body trembled: "Miss Rong, I will mess with you in the future." ”

Rong Ruo raised her eyebrows and walked in indifferently, she could completely roar at this little scene.

In the main hall, I really saw Mu Beichen standing there, still dressed in elegant clothes, looking down at something under the candlelight, his lowered eyebrows and eyes covered Qinghui's eyes, and a soft halo enveloped his body, bringing out a handsome and elegant noble son, as if he was so leisurely at home, and there was no abruptness of breaking into other people's homes at all.

But...... Rong Ruo looked around, the corners of his mouth twitched, this is too open, is there a little consciousness of doing strange things in the dark, look at this bright light, it is almost the whole house lit into daylight.

"What a daze." Mu Beichen's voice came, Rong Ruo turned his head to look at him, his eyes were cold and far-reaching, like a cold moon rolling in the clear light, without any human temperature.

Rong Ruo walked over and said, "Didn't you say that someone was staring at the original mansion?" "You're really making a big fuss, you're afraid that people won't know you've broken in, right?

"Do you think you can escape the eyes of people with hearts when you arrive in Lan County?" Mu Beichen said lightly and threw the things in his hand to Rong Ruo.

"Then what are you trying to do to make those people faint, just let them look at it." Rong Ruo took it and was very surprised: "Why is it half burned." She was holding a booklet, which was the original family tree, but it was very thin, and when she opened it, she didn't write a few pages, and a small half of it was burned. 85

Mu Beichen passed through the corner of the main hall, and Rong Ruo followed him, so he heard him say: "This king is not in the habit of being stared at. Rong Ruo handed the family tree in his hand to Caidie, put the tip of his tongue against his cheeks, and said lightly: "Lord Wang, are you still afraid of being seen?" ”

After the room connecting the main hall passed, there was a corridor, Mu Beichen and Rong Ruo walked side by side, and glanced at her sideways, "What do you see?" ”

Rong Ruo pinched his chin with his fingers and blinked: "The prince is peerless, and there is no other in the world." ”

Mu Beichen stopped suddenly, the light in his eyes was cold, colder than the ice in the cold pool at the bottom of the cliff that day.

Caidie laughed, grabbed Bai Yu, who was following closely, and talked to him with her eyes - I didn't see the girl 'playing hooligan' with the prince, disturbing people to talk about love, be careful of being struck by lightning.

Rong Ruo's eyes slowly rolled around, and he suddenly came to his senses, and said with a sigh: "I thought that you always asked me to praise you, Lord Wang." Mu Beichen looked at him with a kind of nonsense, maybe I would throw you into the pond outside, Rong Ruo finally replied seriously: "The original family is not normal. ”

"Hmm." Mu Beichen snorted lightly and motioned for her to continue.

Rong Ruo's cheeks twitched, how could she listen to this hum so arrogantly, coughed lightly, put aside those messy thoughts, Rong Ruo lowered her eyes, and said heavily: "I'm afraid that the genealogy of ordinary people is more detailed than the original family, not to mention that with the current situation of the original family, it can't be done overnight, but I just looked at the family tree, that is, there are only three generations, and there are no more since the patriarch Yuan bloomed." ”

There are a lot of branches of the big family, as long as the roots are here in the original family, it stands to reason that they will be on the family tree, but the family tree of the original family is just a few members of their family, doesn't it seem too thin.

Rong Ruo felt that this was a bit like a Hakka who fled to other places, with a single family and no family to speak of, but with the current wealth of the original family, how many lifetimes can a foreigner work alone to achieve this point?

"Thirty years ago, Yuan Shengkai settled in Lanxian County with his children." Mu Beichen seemed to see Rong Ruo's thoughts, and said to her: "After that, the original family successively opened three silk and satin villages, two restaurants, and the rest of the rice shops, and a total of more than a dozen jewelry shops, in addition to several hectares of fertile land, and five or six Zhuangzi, which are now temporarily taken over by the county government." ”

Rong Ruo nodded and said, "Speaking of which, the original family is not a wealth created in Lan County. "It's that before they came, they were worth a lot of money, so it's even more strange, where did they come from?

As they spoke, the two entered a room, and when they looked at the furnishings inside, they knew that it was a study.

Mu Beichen stood in the middle of the study, and there were a lot of objects next to him, including antiques and good-looking ornaments, Mu Beichen looked out, frowned slightly, and said, "Bai Yu." ”

Bai Yu, who was dragged by Caidie and was standing at the door, immediately threw off Caidie and walked in, and with Mu Beichen's cool eyes, he walked to the desk and turned over something and put it in front of Mu Beichen.

The colorful butterfly fluttered in with Nana, turned around, and saw Rong Ruo looking at a golden Buddha, so he leaned over and said, "This Bodhisattva is better than the average." ”

The original mansion had been rummaged through several times, this was what Mu Beichen knew before, so he didn't even look at the account book that Bai Yu took out, and put his fingers on a scroll.

The scroll shook open, and the painting on it made Mu Beichen's brows frown even deeper, and Bai Yu said on the side: "My subordinates can't understand what it is, but the other picture scrolls in the study are gone, and only this one is left behind the dark board under the desk." ”

I saw that in the painting, a man dressed in a man's costume is lying on the ground in a kneeling position, his head buried in the ground, and his face cannot be seen, but under the painter's brushstrokes, it can be seen that the man in the painting is very pious and focused, as if kneeling down is sacred to him.

What's even more strange is that in front of the man, the clouds are deep and unknown, like a thick fog, and the author has almost vacated most of the painting to the tumbling white clouds, while half of the man's body is hidden in the clouds, and there is nothing behind him, as if he is standing in the void realm.

With such a painting that can't be seen, I don't know what the author wants to express.

Bai Yu had already seen it once before, but when he looked at it again, he was confused, and only looked up at Mu Beichen, hoping that their family's wise prince with both civil and military skills could see the mystery inside.

"Did you draw it after a dream?" Caidie didn't know when she turned around, her eyebrows were hooked up charmingly, and she bent her lips and said with a smile: "Maybe this time I dreamed of worshipping some Daluo Immortal, and I can make him three wishes, so where did his wealth come from, and there is no explanation." From her point of view, the man in this painting is the original head of the family, Yuan Shenghua, otherwise what would he do at home.

Bai Yu was blocked by the colorful butterfly, his nose was itchy, he rubbed his nose and took a step back, maintaining a cold face, and asked, "Offering the Da Luo Immortal under the table?" ”
