Chapter 24: The Big Guy Wants to Leave
Seeing Mu Yu's breathless appearance, Shen Mei couldn't help but glance at her, "Be quiet, do you want to shout all over the house?" ”
Mu Yu hurriedly shook his head and sat back in his chair obediently, but his heart was still in chaos.
It was clearly written in that chronicle that Big Guy Xie would meet a nobleman, and then he was taken a fancy to him, and he climbed up from the staff little by little, and finally rose to prominence...... But now, he is going to participate in the imperial examination?
Mu Yu was shocked and a little happy.
That's right, at that time, Big Brother Xie was blind and lame, and he could only be a staff member, but now it's different, he is good anywhere, and he can participate in the imperial examination!
His fate can be said to be completely different from that in the chronicle, and the future of the Hou Mansion should no longer be the same!
Shen Mei saw that she didn't speak again, and couldn't help laughing: "It's very surprised, isn't it?" When your father talked to me, it took me a while to come to my senses. Speaking of which, he was only fourteen after the New Year, and he was quietly qualified to participate in the examination......"
Speaking of which, her feelings are very complicated.
Chongning's child looked gloomy and indifferent, and he was not likeable. Frankly, if it weren't for his daughter getting close to him, she probably wouldn't care about him. Who would have thought that child would have such a ability and come to this point quietly.
However, thinking of Hou Ye's various concerns, Shen Mei waved away the regret in his heart, and said plainly: "He is a scheming person, he has never passed the slightest bit of tone before, this time because it is time to take the test, he knows that he can't hide it, so he found your father to confess." ”
Mu Yu was not very happy to listen to her mother's tone, and subconsciously defended Boss Xie.
"You can't blame Brother Ning for this, right...... Not to mention anything else, Brother Xuan and the third aunt in the house don't like him so much, if they had known about it earlier, maybe they would have destroyed it. He had no other way to protect himself, so he naturally had to hide it. ”
Shen Mei glanced at her, and there was a hint of hatred that iron could not become steel, "Rumors! It's okay if he doesn't tell others, but if you treat him like a brother, he should always know it. And yet he kept it a secret from you...... It can be seen that he is born with a cold heart and cold lungs, so don't speak for him anymore! ”
Mu Yu pulled the corners of her lips in embarrassment, her relationship with Big Guy Xie was not clear to others, but she herself understood it best, and she was not close at all. It's just that she is persevering in brushing up on her good feelings, and the big guy is in a good mood to take care of her, and he doesn't like to say anything to her when he is in a bad mood.
So, where does she have the confidence to ask to know other people's secrets!
It's just that she can't say this to Shen Mei, so she gags: "I'm still young, if Brother Ning told me, I would definitely be unable to help but say it." ”
Shen Mei nodded at her with a smile in the air, and snorted lightly, "Anyway, Chongning is leaving, I see that this time he should not come back to the mansion, and I don't have to worry about you always protecting him in the future." ”
Mu Yu was stunned, "He's leaving?" Where to go? ”
There were many scenes where Xie Da Boss was leaving, but when this day really came, she felt extremely overwhelmed.
Shen Mei only thought that she was reluctant, and her heart softened, and she couldn't help but lower her voice and said: "He claimed to have recognized a gentleman, and seeing that spring was coming, he wanted to go to Mr. to study hard." If it is a side reason, your father will not allow it, but since it is to prepare for the spring festival, then your father can only respond. ”
"Who is Brother Ning's husband?"
Shen Mei shook his head lightly, "Your father also asked, but he mysteriously refused to say." Sighing slightly, she said: "Rumor, you should know that Chongning's temperament is very hard, if he doesn't want to say it, others will no longer be able to pry open that mouth." Since he refused, your father didn't ask again, only said that he would come back after the exam. But my mother sees, he shouldn't come back, so you don't have to worry about him in the future. ”
Having said all that, this last sentence is the most important.
She just wanted to tell her daughter that she didn't have to worry about Xie Chongning in the future, and regarded him as a brother, and that the child would never look back once he left today.
*
Back in Qinchun Garden, Mu Yu sat at the table absentmindedly with his face in his hands, and his heart was entangled.
Big Guy Xie is leaving, and he will finally not be bullied in the mansion anymore, Luanping Hou Mansion...... I guess it's been saved, right? It's just that when he leaves, the two will probably not see each other again, and I have to admit that she is indeed a little empty in her heart.
It's just that after thinking about it again, Mu Yu still didn't go to Qingsongyuan to say goodbye.
She couldn't figure out Big Guy Xie's temper, for fear of making him angry again at the last moment, so it was better to pretend not to know calmly. Maybe he'll be able to read her in the future.
However, what Mu Yu never expected was that that night, when she sent the maid away and was about to go to bed, the window suddenly rang softly twice.
Puzzled, she put on her shoes and got out of bed to look, only to see that the window was suddenly opened, and a figure rushed in instantly.
Mu Yu's eyes widened in horror, and before he could scream, he was covered back by a somewhat familiar palm.
Xie Chongning's somewhat hoarse voice sounded in his ears, "Don't scream, it's me." ”
Slowly, Mu Yu finally relaxed from the tension, swallowed the screams on the side of his mouth back into his stomach, and even his eyes returned to their original size.
Seeing that she was really calm, Xie Chongning let go of his hand and said softly: "Go and put on a dress......
Mu Yu was in a hurry just now, and he only wore a middle coat, but fortunately, there was a dragon in the house, and he didn't feel too cold. But when he said so, she obediently listened, and turned back to get a large piece of cloth and draped it over her body, and wrapped herself tightly.
This time, her brain was completely back in turn.
Creeping to the window, Mu Yu raised his face and whispered to the young man who was much taller than himself, "Brother Ning, why did you come to me so late?" Is there something wrong? ”
That's right, she decided to play dumb.
He came here now, and it was clear that he was going to say goodbye, of course she had to pretend that she didn't know anything, otherwise she wouldn't be very passive. If he asked her why she didn't go to Qingsong Yuan to see him for the last time, then she couldn't answer at all!
She thought about this and that in her mind, but Xie Chongning didn't mention it at all, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm leaving." ”
Mu Yu's eyes widened in surprise as he pretended to be surprised, "Where are you going?" ”
In the extremely dim light, Xie Chongning shook his head slightly, but did not answer the question.
The oil lamp in the distance exploded, and the light was big and small, and Mu Yu seemed to see Xie Chongning's handsome face flashing with reluctance in the light at this moment.
But...... Probably a delusion......
She immediately pinched herself secretly and came to her senses.
She frowned in pain, and sighed faintly for a while: "I know that Brother Ning is not happy here, and it is natural for him to want to leave." But Brother Ning, life outside is also very difficult, although you have silver taels and kung fu, but if you meet a liar or someone stronger than you, then what can you do? It's better to wait until you're older before leaving! ”
Mu Yu originally wanted to say that he wanted to let Big Brother Xie take care of himself outside, but for some reason, the exit turned into retention.
She herself was surprised for a moment, but then she thought of the age of the big guy, and felt that it was really uneasy. It's good to be able to pass the exam, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to pass the exam, so he has only studied for a few years...... The chronicle also does not say that he participated in the imperial examination......
The more Mu Yan thought about it, the more he felt that he should be allowed to stay in the mansion for a few more years, and was about to work harder to persuade one or two more, but Xie Chongning suddenly said in a low voice: "Needless to say, I have already made a decision, and I will leave early tomorrow morning." You...... Take care in the future, don't collide with Na Mu Liangxuan again, in case of trouble, find your father and mother, they will naturally make decisions for you. ”
Mu Yu looked at him blankly, although the light was so dim that she couldn't even see the expression on her facial features clearly, but she heard what she said, and couldn't help blurting out: "Brother Ning, I always thought you were tired of me, it turns out that you actually care about me!" And it was said plainly!
Hearing this, Xie Chongning pursed his lips vigorously, and the expression on his face changed.
This girl is really stupid, if he is really tired of her, why should he come to say goodbye.
Thinking like this in his heart, his face quickly regained an indifferent expression, and even the words he said seemed to have been frozen outside, "I am really tired of you, and I feel really relaxed when I think that I won't have to see you again after today." It's just that you have come to visit many times before, and I can't help but return the gift, and now that you have gone this way, we will not owe each other in the future. ”
Mu Yu was stunned when she said this, and before she could come back to her senses, the young man seemed to stare at her fiercely, then turned around and opened the window, jumped forward, and disappeared into the vast night outside.
The cold winter wind blew through the gap in the window on Mu Yu's face, and finally woke her up.
With a shudder, she quickly closed the window and ran back to the bed and shrunk into the quilt.
My body is warm, and my mind is still like a pot of porridge.
She felt that she had seen it today, what it means to turn her face like turning a book, she was still kind and angry a second ago, and even seemed to be a little reluctant to her, but because of her words, Xie Chongning instantly flashed and thundered.
But this time, she wasn't so upset.
Maybe it's because his ability to resist blows is stronger, or maybe it's because of his previous concern that she has a vague glimpse of his sincerity.
Thinking about it so carefully, he should be a duplicity and awkward young man!
Mu Yu was stuffed in the quilt and laughed unconsciously.
She didn't tell anyone about that night.
The next day, the day Xie Chongning left, she was called to the upper room by Shen Mei early, saying that she was old and wanted to tell her about the rules of the New Year. In fact, Mu Yu knew very well in her heart that her mother just didn't want her to send Xie Chongning.
She wanted to laugh in her heart, but she didn't plan to send it! That's fine, just settle her mother's heart. Anyway, she shouldn't have anything to do with the big guy in the future.
