Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Western Courtyard
(29) West Courtyard
He Sisi couldn't believe it when she heard the news of Mrs. Xiyuancheng's death, but she appeared in front of her alive a few days ago.
The first village in the world is full of plain clothes and crowns, and white cloths are pulled up everywhere. Mrs. Cheng went in a hurry, but the most important thing in the world was silver, and she quickly bought a good coffin for the deceased to be buried. On the first day of the three-day funeral period, the owner of Chengsan did not allow anyone to come, and locked himself in the funeral palace for a whole day. The whole village said that he was infatuated, and even the owner of the village, Fang Haotian, was moved.
In the next two days, the owner of Cheng San Zhuang did not appear again, only Cheng Zhi was in front of the coffin to guard the funeral ceremony, anyone who saw it had to praise it, even if it was coarse linen clothes, he did not lose his gentlemanly demeanor.
He Sisi changed into plain clothes and came with Ling Wuxin. Mo Qingqian naturally will not miss this Zhengda Guangming to check in the West Courtyard, this is also the second time that Mo Qingqian is looking at that Cheng Zhi, Mai Jia does not hide his jade-like temperament, but the sadness in his eyes is not as good as the two maids who are waiting on the side, it seems that he and Mrs. Cheng are not close.
Cheng Zhi felt the gaze falling on him, turned his head to look over, and met the cold eyes, like a clear sweet spring, into people's hearts. Cheng Zhi smiled lightly and nodded slightly at Limo to show his gratitude for coming here.
Ling Wuxin had been by Mo Qingqian's side all the time, and he couldn't feel comfortable looking at the two of them.
Isn't this son as good-looking as the hypocrite?
Ling Wuxin stepped forward, stood between the two, and said to Cheng Zhi: "The third brother must have worked very hard these days, Mrs. Cheng is also a kind-hearted person, the third brother should not be too sad." ”
"Let the second brother worry, this is what I should do, but my stepmother is in a hurry, I have not fulfilled my filial piety, I really regret it."
Ling Wuxin stepped forward and patted Cheng Zhi's shoulder: "If you have this heart, she will definitely know." ”
Cheng Zhi nodded at Ling Wuxin.
At this time, Fang Haotian, the owner of the first village in the world, walked into the mourning hall with heavy steps, Mo Qingqian saw this owner for the first time, he looked very haggard, the beard on his chin seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, and now it was also dark.
Ling Wuxin stepped forward and saluted, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the mourning hall with Mo Qingqian and He Sisi. Fang Haotian was also indifferent to him, and he didn't even nod in response.
Mo Qingqian glanced back when he left, and saw Cheng Zhi stepping forward to help Fang Haotian, and the owner of the village also held Cheng Zhi's hand tightly, and his sadness naturally flowed, and sure enough, this owner of the village trusted the people in the West Courtyard very much.
Out of the mourning hall, Ling Wuxin saw the eggplant that He Sisi had beaten like frost, and knew that she was sad for Mrs. Cheng, so he asked her to go back to the East Courtyard first.
"Would you like to walk with me?" When He Sisi walked away, Ling Wuxin turned his head and said lightly to Mo.
Mo lightly pressed down on the concern for He Sisi in his heart, and nodded towards Ling Wuxin.
Unexpectedly, he didn't leave the West Courtyard in a hurry, but wanted to take himself for a walk here, which was exactly what she wanted.
Ling Wuxin saw that she couldn't wait to look around with a lot of inquiring eyes, and smiled secretly, she couldn't hide herself too much.
Mo Qingqian lives in the East Courtyard, her every move can be said to be under Ling Wuxin's control, and naturally she also knows that she will go to the North Courtyard to investigate every midnight these days, although she doesn't know what her purpose is, but seeing that there is no killing intent in her eyes, and she has not harmed anyone in the village for the time being, he is up to her to investigate.
It's just that in this West Courtyard, Cheng Ze Chengzhi's father and son are too deeply hidden, and he is worried that this girl will also be like exploring the North Courtyard at night, investigating this West Courtyard, I'm afraid that she won't come and go so freely.
"Don't look at the fact that there are not many guards in this West Courtyard, and I don't even know how many dangers are hidden in them." Ling Wuxin slowed down his pace and whispered beside Mo Qingqian.
Mo Qingqian was shocked at first when he heard him say this, but soon understood. Since she lived in the East Courtyard, she noticed that all the people who have been in the East Courtyard for a long time, even the little ones who spread the word, are people who have practiced martial arts all year round, and there are more than one or two of them who are afraid of martial arts above themselves. With such a group of eyes by his side, it was too easy for Ling Wuxin to grasp her whereabouts. But he didn't expect that he would deliberately take himself to the West Courtyard for a visit, isn't he afraid that he has bad intentions?
"Do you care about nothing, or are you not afraid of anything?" Don't ask lightly to express the doubts in your heart.
Ling Wuxin raised her eyebrows and looked at her, is this girl finally interested in herself. With a charming smile, Ling Wuxin looked at her: "What does the girl think?" ”
Seeing that he looked like a swinger again, Mo Qingqian only felt that he was too talkative, no matter what he was, he didn't stop himself, so why bother recruiting him.
Mo Qingqian no longer looked at Ling Wuxin, and carefully observed every scene and object in the West Courtyard. This western courtyard is also extremely luxurious, only the flowers and plants in the garden make the whole courtyard more angry, Mo Qingqian couldn't help but ask: "Is there anyone in the village who understands medicine or poisonous weeds?" ”
"No, but what's wrong?" Ling Wuxin followed her gaze to the flowers and plants in the garden.
"Maybe it's a coincidence, but I saw some rare herbs and poisonous weeds here." While pondering, Ling Wuxin's smiling face burst into her sight like a magnified one.
"Don't you think that the girl is better-looking in comparison?"
"If the son is born as a daughter, he will live up to this good color that is more delicate than flowers."
"Sure enough, the girl's praise is the most different."
Mo Qingqian has been with him for a long time, and he should have adapted to his appearance as a scoundrel, but he was still speechless, obviously he was still observing this place by himself just now, how could he have the intention of blocking it now. After quickly scanning the location of each courtyard room in the West Courtyard, he stopped staying in the West Courtyard for more, and turned around to leave Ling Wuxin one step ahead.
Ling Wuxin's smile did not change as he looked at the direction of the woman's departure, and the coldness in his eyes gradually rose. In the afterglow, a piece of linen cloth not far away quickly closed to a hidden place behind the tree.
He reached out and touched the tip of his nose, it seemed that he still had to tell Limo, don't easily investigate here, the people in the West Courtyard are afraid that it is even more complicated than his East Courtyard.
As soon as he came out of the West Courtyard, he happened to meet Fang Rou who was crying at the door, and she almost fainted from crying, but the maid next to her Jingqiao didn't hold her hand for a while, and Fang Rou was about to fall to the side.
Mo Qingqian didn't have time to think, he came to Fang Rou's side to hold her in the blink of an eye, seeing that she had completely fainted, and her whole body was leaning on Mo Qingqian's body, Jing Qiao on the side stepped forward and thanked: "Fortunately, there is a girl here, Mrs. Cheng is the aunt of my young lady, and when the young lady learned that Mrs. Cheng went, she was sad day and night, and she cried and fainted." I heard that the girl is the escort of Ling Ergongzi, and her strength must be greater than that of us little girls, and the young lady is like this, and the slave and maid can't support the young lady, and they have to bother the girl to send my young lady back to the house. ”
Mo Qingqian was still a little hesitant, and saw Jing Qiao kneeling in front of her with a "bang", she stepped back to avoid Jing Qiao's big gift, but she hugged Fang Rou, and her movements were not so convenient: "You get up, but send her back, you don't have to make this big gift." With that, he picked up Fang Rou horizontally and walked towards the north courtyard.
Jing Qiao lowered her head and got up, silently evoking a vague smile.
