As the center of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Nong, a girl from Suzhou, is tickling softly, Mu Yi is sitting on a canopy boat with coal, and the boatman is swinging the oars and swaying forward.

Coal looked at the little girl selling pastries on the shore not far away, and Mu Yi took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve in disgust, and wiped off the saliva that was about to form a line at the corner of the black cat's mouth by feeling.

"Do you have a crush on other people's girls or the pastries sold by them?" Mu Yi lifted a wooden box beside him and shook it in front of the coal, "I have already bought the pastries, if you have a crush on other people's girls, you can still swim back before you are drowned, while the boat has not gone too far now." ”

Hearing this, Coal closed his mouth suddenly, quickly licked the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his barbed tongue, and pulled Mu Yi's arm to please the arch: "How can there be, how can people and worldly colors enter my eyes, of course you are the best in the Three Realms." ”

"You know each other." Mu Yi nodded with satisfaction, put down the wooden box that was slipping in the air, touched the oily and slippery fur of the coal, and was a little melancholy: "You say, what does Qi Ying want to do?" ”

Coal tried hard to think for a long time with a limited cat brain, and finally gave up: "How do I know what he thinks, but aren't we going to Luoyang?" He's always going to show his feet, don't worry. ”

"Well, I hope so."

The man and the cat stopped talking, and the cabin finally fell silent, and the boatman's peeping from time to time was very dazzling.

He shook the hand holding the oars and trembled uncontrollably, cold sweat flowed one after another, and the Amitabha Buddha in his mouth never stopped.

Buddha, I haven't done anything evil in my life, why is it so bad luck to run a monster business, that demon girl won't wait for a while to find a place where no one will eat me.

Mu Yi finally noticed that something was wrong with the boatman, and out of concern for his life, he asked with concern: "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

Boatman: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry." ”

Ahh

Luoyang

In the backyard of Qi Mansion, after Qi Lu finished breakfast, he asked people to move a recliner and put it under the osmanthus tree, and he lay down on it with a soft pillow, humming a little song in his mouth and began to close his eyes and recuperate. The wind blew and the flowers fell, Qi Lu's hair was stained with the sweetness of osmanthus flowers, and the housekeeper made a pot of tea very sensibly and sent it to Qi Lu with a few plates of delicate snacks, and then told Qi Lu word for word the news he heard in the city in the morning.

"Jiang Guo's soldiers and generals have been breaking through all the way, they have captured Changyou Pass, General Zhenyuan died on the battlefield, the emperor made a big fire in the court this morning, and now everyone inside and outside the court and the opposition is in danger." After the housekeeper finished speaking, he looked at Qi Lu cautiously and said tentatively: "Master? ”

"Look at what I'm doing, I don't have the ability to do that." Qi Lu opened his eyes, pinched the teacup and blew away the osmanthus flowers that fell into the cup, and took a sip of tea before asking: "General Zhenyuan has been honest all his life, and now he has passed away suddenly, I am afraid that the orphans and widows in the mansion will not have a good time, you will pick something to see them later." Anything else? ”

The housekeeper sighed helplessly, and continued: "The young lady's father is seriously ill, and it is estimated that it will only be a matter of the past two days. A few days ago, the young master and a young man worshipped a son and became brothers, it is said that the man's name is Qi Xuan, and it didn't take long for him to bring back a girl. The girl is looking at peony flowers in Luoyang these days, what do you dream of a peony flower, the flowers bloom in five colors, and the fragrance of flowers fills the city, and now both of them live in Yeyuan. ”

Qi Lu looked at the sky thoughtfully, and then covered it up well, "Is there anything else?" ”

"And ......" the butler looked embarrassed.

Qi Lu glanced at him and said, "What else?" ”

The housekeeper's heart was horizontal, and he regarded death as home: "The head concubine in the palace heard that Master Ye was sick, so she specially went to the emperor to ask for the old ginseng that had been sent for three hundred years, saying that she was doing her best. When the emperor learned about this, he also sent a lot of things. ”

Qi Lu's calm face finally cracked, a touch of ridicule appeared in his eyes, and he looked at the snacks on the table at hand with some mockery that could not be ignored, and suddenly reached out and overturned the table, "If a person is dead, he is dead, what is the use of making up for it now, it's really ridiculous." ”

The butler asked tentatively, "Those things?" ”

"Since the emperor has sent it, can I still resist the decree and send it all to Ye Yuan, remember to be high-profile and show the emperor's grace." Qi Lu stood up, patted the osmanthus flowers on his body, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to the front yard.

Leaf Garden

The room in the backyard is a bit complicated, and in the innermost room by the flower field, there are all kinds of singing guys filling the whole room, with pearls and green heads, embroidered robes full of intricate patterns, and a room of people piled up together to look very crowded.

Outside the room, a large number of people knelt on their knees, all with their heads buried low, and the occasional drops of water wet the struggling moss on the slate.

Ye Ruirui clearly felt tears rolling in her eyes, she looked at the old man in front of her who had turned white and forcibly suppressed the sadness in her heart, making her voice sound like usual, "Dad, don't worry, my daughter will be fine." ”

A tear slipped out of the old man's cloudy eyes and fell down the ravine on his face to the pillow. In fact, his eyes were already very hazy, and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he just raised his hand tremblingly, pinched Ye Ruirui's hand and sent it to the side. He opened his mouth to say something, but when the oil ran out, the good voice of the good man who moved the capital could no longer make any sound, and could only stare at a pair of cloudy old eyes, hoping that the man would know what he wanted to say.

The man standing next to Ye Ruirui quickly took his hand and assured the old man word by word: "Don't worry, as long as I live, I will definitely protect her well-being, raise her eyebrows, and grow old together."

The young man's words were tinged with firmness, and the old man put down his hand contentedly, and finally took one last look at his daughter, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"Class Leader ......"

Ye Yuan's old class master died, and when he was young, he made a song about the Peony Pavilion in Jinghua, and the old disciples were full of gardens, and he had no regrets.

"Rui Rui, the old class master can finally go to the class master's wife, you should be happy for him." Mu Yi put a bowl of chicken soup in front of Ye Ruirui and persuaded him: "Now that the old class master's first seven have passed, how can you want him to be reincarnated with peace of mind." ”

Ye Ruirui raised her handkerchief to wipe away the tears that were about to well-up from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Mu Yi with expectation in her eyes: "Do people really have a next life?" ”

Of course, if people don't have a next life, then what is the meaning of my existence.

Mu Yi patted her hand, "Of course, I don't lie to you, your father will be very happy in the next life." She picked up the chicken broth. After scooping it twice with a spoon to make sure it wasn't so hot, he handed it to Ye Ruirui, "So you have to eat well, and you can't let your father be reincarnated because he is worried about you." ”

"Okay."

Ye Ruirui took the bowl and drank the chicken soup in one gulp.

Watching Ye Ruirui finish drinking the chicken soup, Mu Yi left the coal to accompany her, and quietly slipped out by herself. When she went back to the kitchen, she met Qi Xuan, who was stealing snacks somewhere, and she clearly felt the blood vessels on her brow twitch uncontrollably twice.

A dignified immortal, with a lot of power in his hands, how can he always do this kind of thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs.
