Mu Mansion, which had been quiet for two days, became lively again, Mu Jiangxuan's mourning hall moved to the small Buddha hall behind, the flowers and plants in the courtyard began to lush, and everything slowly flowed forward with time, except for the white silk hanging in front of the house and behind the house, Mu Mansion seemed to have no change.

Mu Qingling stood at the door of Chunxi Hall, and always felt that Mu Jiangxuan's low and smiling voice would come from the next second, the voice was soft and pleasant, shouting, "Ling'er, Ling'er." ”

……

"Girl, it's packed inside, let's go inside." Yunqiao helped Mu Qingling and said in a low voice. Mu Qingling woke up as if from a dream and came back to her senses. Hiding the tears in her eyes, Mu Qingling walked into the house and said to Yunqiao: "My father's funeral has passed, but there will be no fewer people coming to the door during this time, you and Qi's mother are restraining the people in the house, don't lose the rules." ”

Yunqiao helped Mu Qingling to the table and sat down, pinched her shoulders and replied: "Last time, there was such a trouble, the house was rushed, and the sale was sold, and it was a group of people, and now the skin of the people below is tight, where do you dare to come nonsense." It's you, girl, you've been worrying since you returned to Hangzhou, and now that the master has settled in the ground, you should also rest and rest. ”

Mu Qingling chuckled lightly and said in a low voice: "Where can I rest......" Yunqiao didn't hear clearly, and looked at Mu Qingling suspiciously. I don't know why, she always feels that since the heavy rain on the way back to Hangzhou, Mu Qingling's whole person has changed, stronger and more mature, but also more indifferent and urgent.

It was as if something terrible was chasing after her, so that she didn't relax for a moment.

A master and a servant each fell into deep thought, and not long after, the big girl beside Mu Qingling, Yun Jian, walked in, hugged a fluffy thing in her arms, and said to Mu Qingling with a smile: "Miss, this ......"

Yunqiao and Mu Qingling both looked into Yun Jian's arms, and saw a little white rabbit with a big palm, with no snow white hair on his body, and his ears were tied with flowers, staring pitifully with red eyes and trembling slightly.

"Ouch, where did you come from?" Yunqiao looked at Rare and asked. Then Yunxi, who followed up, carried a basket and said with a smile: "Just someone knocked on the courtyard door, I didn't see anyone as soon as I opened the door, and there was this basket and such a small thing on the steps, so I quickly asked Yun Jian to bring it over." ”

"Yo, that's still written. Girl, look. Yunqiao took the little rabbit and held it in his arms, and saw that the head flower on the rabbit's ears still had a page of flower note, a small one. Mu Qingling put the rabbit on the table, took off the head flower, and looked at the flower note, which read, "The clouds are light and the wind is light near noon, and the flowers follow the willows over the Qianchuan."

The handwriting has not yet dried, and the iron pen and silver hook show the skills of the person who writes. Mu Qingling smiled, looked at the bamboo basket in Yunxi's hand and asked, "What is that?" Yunxi put the basket on the table and said with a smile: "I didn't dare to rummage around, the girl will see it herself." ”

Mu Qingling took the basket and took a cursory look, it was full of gadgets sold on the street, a little girl's head rope to tie her hair, a tangram for children to play with, a stone carved with a bit of wildness, and a set of delicate Luban locks. Yunqiao also looked at it on the side, and sighed: "Amazing, this is a walk around West Street from beginning to end, right?" ”

These things are not valuable, but they are precious in the heart. Since the day Mu Qingling was reborn, her mind has been revisiting day by day, and others have seen that she has responded appropriately and not panicked, but only she knows how tired she is. Xiao Lanwei Xu saw something, so she sent some of these little things to make Mu Qingling happy.

The little rabbit was bouncing around on the table, and from time to time it stood up and looked around. Mu Qingling also felt cute when she looked at it, she reached out and touched it, the soft fur tentacles were warm, and she could feel the heartbeat of this little guy, Yunqiao saw that Mu Qingling's face was relaxed, and made a color to let Yunxi go out with Yunjian, and said with a smile: "Oh, this gift is chic, I just don't know who is so hearty and sent these over?" ”

Mu Qingling glanced at Yunqiao with disgust and said, "You are smart, and you think about these things all day long. Yunqiao pushed Mu Qingling, and asked with a smile: "Then do you know who sent it?" It is said that courtesy is still exchanged, people are so hearted, you have to get something back, right? ”

"If I give something back, do you dare to send it?" Mu Qingling turned his head to look at Yunqiao, Yunqiao was stunned, remembered the person with a black wind and evil spirit, and stumbled: "That...... Isn't that still Yunxi's ......?"

Mu Qingling shook her head and said in disgust: "Look at your little bit of talent." Yunqiao pursed his mouth, Mu Qingling looked back at the little rabbit that began to doze off, and after a while, said to Yunqiao: "You go and help me prepare something." ”

"Young Master, we're here." Liu San stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage and said to the people in the car. The car door opened, and the young man who came out had black hair like ink, meticulously tied into the crown. The eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful, but there is no femininity at all. Dressed in a cyan cloth coat, he looks like a well-mannered scholar.

Liu Junnan got out of the car, looked up at the Mufu plaque hanging high, Liu San trotted forward and gave the name card to the concierge. After a while, Mu Zheng led someone out of the side door, walked in front of Liu Junnan and saluted: "Young Master Liu is hard, and the little Mu Zheng is the housekeeper of the house." ”

Liu Junnan hurriedly helped Mu Zheng up and said, "Steward Mu doesn't have to be polite. Mu Zheng got up, stepped aside and said to Liu Junnan: "Young Master Liu, please, Young Master Wenyuan and Miss Wenyuan are already waiting." ”

Because the main hall has just been removed from the mourning hall, it has not yet been cleaned up. Yu Wenyuan and Mu Qingling invited Liu Junnan to the flower hall. Liu Junnan walked in with Liu San, Yu Wenyuan put down the teacup in his hand and stepped forward to greet him: "Young Master Liu, you have worked hard all the way." ”

Liu Junnan is the nephew of Liu Yuechan, the third lady of the Jingyong Mansion, and the Liu family has been in business for generations, taking charge of tea and salt business in the Central Plains. A businessman, who can marry the hereditary Jingyong Mansion, shows the richness of his family. Today's Liu family is Liu Junnan's father Liu Zongde is in charge, after Liu Yuechan married into the Jingyong Mansion, she has been trying her best to take care of her mother's family, this time the letter was sent back to the Liu family, Liu Zongde asked Liu Junnan to come to Hangzhou.

Most of the Liu family's forces were in the north, and they later became close to the Jingyong Mansion, and no one in the capital could compete with them. However, silk weaving has always been a contention for businessmen, because of the relationship between in-laws, the Liu family has been stained with the light of Mu Jiangxuan, so the silk business has also achieved a little success in recent years.

"Where is the hard work, it stands to reason that I should have come to mourn before the burial of Muda, but unfortunately my father and I were both outside the Saiwai at the time, and when we got the news, we rushed back, but we still didn't catch up." Liu Junnan turned to Mu Qingling on the side and said, "The Liu family has received a lot of help from Master Mu, this is our rudeness, Miss Mu forgive me." ”

Mu Qingling hurriedly returned the gift, she was quite well treated by the third lady when she was in Jingyong Mansion, the third lady's family is rich, and she often gets some rare things when she does business, and she never forgets to prepare a copy for her when she is filial to the old lady, and she always asks for warmth, it can be said that in the previous life, Mrs. Yu treated Mu Qingling as a treasure, although the second wife secretly had a bad intention, but on the surface she was also kind and kind, the third lady on the one hand for her mother's family, on the other hand, in order to please the old lady, but also tried her best to be good to Mu Qingling, So he developed Mu Qingling's somewhat naïve temperament, and when he died, he realized that there were not all good people in this world.

In her first life, although she saw a lot of things clearly, and knew that the third wife had a strong purpose of being good to her, but the care of the third wife over the years was not fake, so Mu Qingling's attitude towards the Liu family was very kind, "Liu Gongzi's words are serious, the mind is more important than the form, and my father has a spirit in the sky, so he won't care." ”

Everyone sat down, and Liu Junnan motioned for Liu San to send the things, and said, "I really saw it when I went to Saiwai this time." In the past, I had only heard the desert scenery written in the poem, and I was really shocked after seeing it with my own eyes. Saibei is bitterly cold, but the fur medicinal materials are good, and when he came, his father also told him that this white fox skin is rare, and such a big one does not have a trace of variegation, and it is just right to make a cloak for Miss Mu. ”

Liu San put the things he was holding in his hand on the table, and at the bottom were various colors of fur, among which a roll of white fox fur was the most eye-catching, showing every step of the day, as if there was a faint halo. On it is a sealed variety of medicinal materials, the brocade box is exquisite, and the things that can be sent by the Liu family are not idle things.

"Thank you Uncle Liu for your concern." Mu Qingling thanked her, she was a female dependent, so it was not good to stay in the flower hall longer, so she got up and said: "Liu Gongzi came from afar, and the house has prepared a banquet, so I bothered Cousin Wenyuan to accompany him in the evening." Cousin Wenyuan chatted with Young Master Liu first, and Qingling was lost. ”

Liu Junnan got up and sent Mu Qingling out of the flower hall before turning around and sitting down again. He and Yu Wenyuan are close in age, but it's a pity that when he was in the capital, one was a merchant son, and the other was a young master of the Guogong Mansion, and their status was very different, and it was difficult to see him. Now taking the opportunity of visiting Shangmu Mansion, Liu Junnan has the intention to reconcile with Yu Wenyuan, so he deliberately chooses a topic that Yu Wenyuan is interested in in his speech.

In his early years, he followed his father to run business, and there are few places in the north and south of the river that he has not been to. However, with a cup of tea, Yu Wenyuan and Liu Junnan reached the point where they called each other the words.

"Speaking of which, I thought that I would only have the opportunity to meet Duan'an until Young Master Wen Min's wedding, but I didn't expect to have the honor to meet in Hangzhou today." Liu Junnan sighed, Yu Wenyuan also sighed, and said: "I knew that Brother Shaohua was familiar at first sight, I was introduced by the third wife early on, and I was also young, I used to only think about listening to the words of the family, and the communication of friends is also how my father told me to do it, but now that I think about it, it is really short-sighted." ”

Liu Junnan smiled with his eyebrows, and he was a gentleman like jade, and only listened to him: "How can things in the world be predicted everywhere, there are a lot of surprises?" You and I are destined, but I will not come to Hangzhou this time, and we will meet in the capital soon. ”

Yu Wenyuan was curious: "How do you say this?" ”

Liu Junnan was surprised: "Duan'an doesn't know? The second wife of your mansion fell in love with the eldest lady of the Yuan family, and wanted to set it for Young Master Wen Min, when I left, it was said that the two ladies had seen each other, and they were very satisfied. That's why I just said it, thinking that I could only wait until Young Master Wen Min's wedding to meet Duan'an. ”

"Miss Yuan?" Yu Wenyuan was shocked, "Which Miss Yuan?" Liu Junnan came this time to reveal this matter to Yu Wenyuan, and when he saw Yu Wenyuan asking, he was naturally willing to tell Yu Wenyuan thoroughly.

"Wailang, Yuan Chengyuan, Lord Yuan. If you don't know him well, Old Marquis Yuan should know, right? Lord Yuan is the concubine of the old marquis of Yuan, Xingsan, Concubine Yuan in the palace, is his sister. Liu Junnan said unhurriedly.

When Yu Wenyuan heard Liu Junnan say this, he immediately couldn't cry or laugh. Before Mu Qingling asserted that the Xu family didn't look down on her as his daughter-in-law, Yu Wenyuan still hesitated, only saying that the old lady was there, and Mu Qingling's family character was one in a million, if the Xu family was not confused, he should know that this was a good family.

Now that Liu Junnan said that the Xu family not only really didn't consider Mu Qingling, but also risked the old lady's anger to fall in love with Miss Yuan, Yu Wenyuan really didn't know what to say about the Xu family.
