Rong Hua took Rong Yu back to the small study in the east courtyard, pressed her on the wooden chair in front of the bookcase and sat down, and ordered the mother-in-law and maids to retreat and close the doors and windows, then stood still by the bookcase and asked, "Sister Yu, there is no one around now, you tell me what is going on this morning?" ”

Rong Yu looked at Rong Hua wistfully.

What's going on this morning?

This morning she realized that she had lived her whole life, and that she was back to her childhood......

And it's back to a critical juncture.

In his previous life, a few days after Mu Linyuan came to the door, the news of the defeat came back from the northwest.

She had a lot of things to say to Rong Hua, but she didn't know how to say them.

If she confessed to her resurrection, Rong Hua might see her as a spirit who had taken Rong Yu's body and invite a Taoist priest to deal with her......

And, perhaps, she is indeed some kind of spirit now......

After waiting for a while, Rong Yu didn't speak, but he only stared at himself blindly, and Rong Hua spoke again: "If you don't say it, my sister will guess, if my sister guesses correctly, you will nod, okay?" ”

Although he knew that Rong Hua would never be able to guess accurately, Rong Yu still had to nod.

Let's take some time to think about how to speak......

Rong Hua thought for a while and asked, "But yesterday Master Wei reprimanded you in front of your sisters, which made you feel uncomfortable?" ”

"Silly child, it's not a shame to be reprimanded by the master, when the eldest sister was young, my mother taught me to plan the plate, and I always couldn't play well, I don't know how many times I was beaten by my mother in public, you see now, where does anyone in the house remember?"

This "mother" should refer to the Great Shen family.

Rong Yu shook his head.

Rong Hua asked again: "So, but you accidentally broke something for a while?" ”

Rong Yu shook his head, typed out the draft and said, "Big sister, I had a terrifying dream last night......

"I dreamed of a silver-armored general covered in blood, and the general said to me, little girl, please help me tell your big sister that I can't come back."

Rong Yu said as he looked at Rong Hua seriously.

Hearing her "dream", Rong Hua's face immediately turned pale, and her hands trembled slightly, and it took a while for her to calm down, and she smiled forcefully: "Dreams are all opposite......

Rong Yu slid off the wooden chair and walked in front of Rong Hua, and said, "Big sister, if the general is back, he has ruined his appearance, or he is missing his hands and feet. ”

"Knife and gun without eyes, if he doesn't come back in the end......"

Rong Yu looked up at Rong Hua: "Big sister, then what will happen to you?" ”

Rong Hua lost his mind for a while before he spoke, and his tone was firm: "No matter what he becomes and comes back, I will not change my mind." ”

"If he doesn't come back......"

Rong Hua didn't say the latter words.

But she didn't say it, Rong Yu also knew what she would do.

If the general fails to come back, Rong Hua will live and die.

In his previous life, Rong Hua committed suicide on the night when the news of Shao Xize's death came back to Beijing.

She pierced her neck with a dagger, and stabbed her twice, horizontally and vertically.

She chose such a tragic death, obviously with the determination to die.

Fortunately, she was discovered by her family before she was completely out of breath.

The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital and the famous doctors of Kyoto were invited into the Taining Marquis Mansion like flowing water, but they were helpless with such deep wounds.

The young lady who was almost certain to die, but was finally rescued by Mu Linyuan.

Rong Yu didn't know whether it was better for Rong Hua to die, or whether he had to lie on the couch for the rest of his life, and couldn't talk or drink porridge to survive, so it was better to live like that.

……

Rong Yu thought for a while, and then asked, "Big sister, apart from that general, are you willing to marry someone else?" ”

Rong Hua replied without hesitation: "I don't want to, I only want to marry him in this life." ”

Predictable.

Rong Yu stretched out his hand to hug Rong Hua and muttered, "Big sister, that general is just that good?" ”

Worthy of you, such affectionate......

She heard Rong Hua reply with a smile: "Naturally." ”

That laughter was so good, how she wished her big sister could laugh like that all the time.

How painful it hurt when she pierced her neck with a dagger;

After being rescued, how tormented was her heart......

She only wanted to marry Shao Xize alone in this life, but she was promised to Mu Linyuan by her father.

She was bent on going to Huangquan with Shao Xize, but she was burdened with Mu Linyuan's life-saving grace.

A life-and-death dilemma.

……

Rong Yu tightened his grip on Rong Hua's hand.

She wants to try to see if this life can be different from the last.

If it fails......

And how?

No matter how bad it is, it's just like the previous life.

……

On the afternoon of this day, Rong Yu slipped out of the Hou Mansion with a little maid treasure bottle under the pretext of playing, and the two of them held a simple drawing and asked a few times, and finally found an alley mouth.

The alley was narrow and uneven, with dirty water on the ground, and most of the people who walked there were dressed in rags, and looked at their master and servant cautiously and curiously.

Rong Yu looked at the alley quietly.

Such a place......

Walking in this alley, the embroidered shoes on her feet are ruined.

While carefully looking at the sketch, the treasure bottle chanted: "This drawing is from Wang Er, who sent Mu Gongzi back to his residence, it shouldn't be wrong, but how could Mu Gongzi live in such a place......

"Didn't you say that the Mu family had practiced medicine for generations? How could Mu Gongzi not even be able to afford to live in a hotel......"

This is Mu Linyuan's residence.

Mu Linyuan's medical skills are exquisite, but why doesn't he even have the money to live in a hotel?

Because, the doctor's money comes from the patient, and the Mu family is unwilling to charge the patient more than half of the medical fee.

Rong Yu lifted the corner of her skirt and stepped into the dirty water.

The treasure bottle gritted his teeth, took off his shoes and socks and hugged them in his arms, and followed her barefoot.

Mu Linyuan temporarily lived in a small house in the courtyard at the end of the alley.

Rong Yu knocked on the door, and soon, a thin young man wearing a white gray cloth shirt opened the door and asked her, "What is the matter with Miss?" ”

Rong Yu looked up at Mu Linyuan, and the person in front of her gradually overlapped with the impression in her long memory.

Mu Linyuan......

In his previous life, Rong Yu's mentality towards Mu Linyuan was a little complicated.

She was grateful to him for saving her big sister's life, but she was a little concerned.

This must start with state affairs.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded for 100 years, the world was unified, and the four seas were leveled, but the northwest lacked a corner.

That corner was called Yanyun City, which was ceded to the Liao State by the small lord in the north before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than 100 years, the war in the northwest continued, but it never recovered Yanyun City and completely stopped fighting.

In the third year of Wucheng in this dynasty, the emperor drove the expedition in person, with General Shao Lao as the main commander, led an army of 100,000 to the northwest, vowing to capture Yanyun City.

As a result, they were defeated, and all the men of the Shao family were killed in battle, and the emperor was able to return to Beijing safely.

Three years later, the four princes personally marched into battle, and the young general of the Shao family took command and led 200,000 soldiers to the north again.

With the strength of the whole country and the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou, the initial momentum of the Second Northern Expedition was very good, and the good news was transmitted back one after another.

But in the end, it was still defeated, General Shao Xiao was killed in battle, and the fourth prince was seriously injured.

The two northern expeditions consumed not only the armor, money and food of the Great Zhou, but also the generals who had accumulated for a hundred years.

After the defeat of the Second Northern Expedition, no one in the DPRK and China could shoulder the burden of military defense in the northwest for a while.

Under such circumstances, Mu Linyuan abandoned medicine and followed Rong, and a scholar put on a battle armor, but he always succeeded in repelling the invasion of the Liao people and protecting the peace of the people in the northwest.

It is conceivable how high Mu Linyuan's reputation is.

This prestige is where Rong Yu cares.

Mu Linyuan's prestige finally turned into the glory of the third prince, King Duan.

Everyone said that Mu Linyuan was a general who was wise and eclectic.

However, how could King Duan know that there was such a person as Mu Linyuan?

Probably, it's because of Princess Duan's Rong Ying.

Rong Yu didn't know what kind of intersection there was between Rong Ying and Mu Linyuan in her previous life, but she remembered that in her previous life, Rong Ying had persuaded her father to be considerate to Mu Linyuan.

At that time, everyone thought that Mu Linyuan came to the door with a marriage letter to ask to marry Miss Houfu.

If Mu Linyuan can really marry Miss Houfu......

On the concubine, on the age, only Rong Ying is suitable.

So after listening to Rong Ying's persuasion, Rong Yu naively thought that Rong Ying was interceding for her future husband.

……

In fact, even if there is only one thing, it is enough for Mu Linyuan to miss for a lifetime.

At a time when everyone despised him, there was a lady who respected him and spoke for him.

Rong Yu didn't mind Mu Linyuan working hard for King Duan, but he didn't mind who the person in Mu Linyuan's heart was.

Is he, like many men, regard Rong Ying as the white moonlight in his heart, and save Rong Hua and marry Rong Hua because of Rong Ying.

Now that she has experienced these things that happened in the past, Rong Yu has to admit that compared to her beauty, Rong Ying is more valuable than her intelligence and conduct, and the glorious life she lived in the end is also her own blessing.

……

Rong Yu came back to his senses and saluted Mu Linyuan seriously: "The little girl is the third daughter of the Hou Rong family in Taining, and she has come to meet Mu Gongzi. ”

Mu Linyuan looked at Rong Yu, invited her into the house, and asked, "I don't know why the third lady came?" ”

Rong Yu looked at the room.

The room is very small, and the furnishings in the room are very simple, only an old square table, two stools, a bamboo book basket in the corner, a missing porcelain teapot on the square table, a few books and pen and ink, etc.

In addition, there was a blue curtain on the west side of the house, behind which the bed was supposed to be covered.

Despite being small and shabby, the room was clean and refreshing.

Mu Linyuan sat down on the bench casually, and pointed to another stool for Rong Yu to sit: "Third Miss sits and talks, Mu doesn't have good tea here, please forgive me for being inconsiderate." ”

Rong Yu turned her head to look at the sky outside the house, she went out in the afternoon, and finally found this place in a circle, and she had to explain her intention as soon as possible.

She didn't sit down, stood and solemnly saluted Mu Linyuan again, and asked earnestly, "Master Mu, may I ask why you came to the Rong family this time?" ”

Mu Linyuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Rong Yu with a smile: "Did the third young lady hear from the people in the house that the ancestors of the Rong family and the Mu family had a marriage contract?" ”

Rong Yu nodded: "The little girl has heard of it a little, but the ancestor of the Mu family, Gao Yi, did not come to the door after receiving the marriage letter, and Mu Gongzi is also a gentleman, but why ......?"

Mu Linyuan smiled again: "Isn't my current behavior the work of a gentleman?" ”

Rong Yu was anxious but helpless.

In his previous life, Mu Linyuan came to the door with a marriage book, and everyone in the Hou Mansion thought that he wanted to climb the high branches and marry Miss Hou Fu, so he was like a great enemy, and he calculated and speculated many times.

Rong Yu thought so at that time.

But later, she gradually got to know Mu Linyuan, and then she felt that something was wrong.

He has excellent medical skills but is willing to be poor, and he even stepped forward in times of crisis to protect the people of the northwest.

In addition, whether he was poor at the beginning or became famous later, Mu Linyuan only had a disabled and speechless wife like Rong Hua by his side, not to mention a concubine room, and he didn't even have a room......

When Mu Linyuan took Rong Hua out of Kyoto, Rong Hua's eldest maid also followed, Rong Yu cared about Rong Hua and often corresponded with that maid, so he knew these things clearly.

Rong Yu would never believe that such a person would come to the door to ask for a noble wife because of his attachment to the powerful.

She deliberately recalled carefully, and found that in the days when Mu Linyuan visited in the previous life, he had never said that he wanted to marry Miss Houfu.

He later married Rong Hua, and Rong Heng took the initiative to propose it after he saved Rong Hua's life.

Rong Yu looked at Mu Linyuan: "Master Mu, everyone in the Hou Mansion thinks that you want to marry Miss Hou Mansion when you take out the marriage certificate, but why, you take out the marriage book to ask to marry Miss Hou Fu?" ”

"Take out the marriage certificate, it can be that you want to return the marriage certificate, or you want to exchange something."

"Mu Gongzi, you just took out the marriage certificate, but you didn't explain your intentions."

Mu Linyuan put away his smile and looked at Rong Yu with a straight face.

Rong Yu looked at him calmly.

Finally, Mu Linyuan spoke, as if he was going to say something......

Rong Yu was overjoyed.

But at this moment, there was a sound of cloth in the room, and Rong Yu looked towards the source of the sound and saw:

A folding fan slowly pushed the curtain on the west side of the room open, revealing the people behind the curtain.

It's a boy in black.

the anger of being overheard;

I finally waited for Mu Linyuan to speak, but was annoyed when he was interrupted......

All of Rong Yu's dissatisfaction vanished after seeing the young man's face clearly.

In her previous life, she was stupid and pampered, and did many things that harmed others and herself.

is still stubborn, finds excuses, complains, and never admits that he has done something wrong.

In that way, she only has a guilty conscience for one person in her heart, and she has been thinking about it for many years, but she doesn't know how to make up for it.

Unexpectedly, this time she met him in advance.
