Text Chapter 40: Late Summer

The cicadas of summer are coming to an end, the sun is still dazzling and scorching, the leaves outside are hanging on the branches, and the breeze is slightly blowing, making a rustling sound in the branches.

Probably due to the reason of noon, the Su Mansion was quiet, falling into a quiet silence, occasionally a few cicadas chirping, but also faintly accompanied by the rustling sound of leaves, crickets squirming among the bushes, feeling the last warmth of the late summer.

"The midday sun is too scorching, miss, you might as well go back and rest and come out when the sun shifts a little."

Rouge held the thin fan in his hand, the fan surface was tightly stretched against the skeleton, slightly raised, trying to hide the sunlight that had penetrated into the corridor.

The light is like a naughty child, falling on Mu Yan's shoulders, warm, and his skin is also branded with the mark of the end of summer.

"It's okay, there are few quiet times like this, it's better to take advantage of this and look at these flowers right now." Mu Yan's hand brushed the petals that hung slightly in the sun, and some round dew drops wet his fingertips.

Rouge looked at Mu Yan's interested, so he had no choice but to sigh, and resigned himself to picking up a feather fan to block out the scorching sunlight a little, and the shadow that fell down happened to be much cooler.

The dew drops on the fingertips also evaporated instantly, Mu Yan's hand just left the pot of blooming zinnias, the petals shook his waist a few times, and the dew drops on the top slid down, seeped into the soil, and disappeared.

"It's annoying to say that it's like this, and it's going to disappear soon." Rouge always wanted to speak and stopped, paused for a while, but he was talking about him left and right.

It was noon, the sun hung high, and the sun was sprinkled down without hesitation, and everything was covered with a bright and unique luster belonging to the sun, even the few poor clouds were hiding on the side, some wilting and drifting, such a day was indeed a clear sky and cloudless.

"Yes." The focus of his eyes was taken away by the flowers in front of him, and for a moment there was a blank space before Mu Yan responded softly, and then there was a different kind of silence.

Rouge's hand holding the fan tightened a little, Bei Yan gently bit his lip a few times, and looked around, no one passed by, only the master and servant were quiet, and then these sunbathed scenes.

"I haven't seen my husband for a few days, and I don't know where I went." Rouge's mouth pursed slightly, this drunkard is not addicted to alcohol and has forgotten what day it is.

Compared with Rouge's slightly complaining tone, Mu Yan was much calmer, with a clear expression on his face, his lips hooked up a hint of curvature, and said with a smile: "Mo Yu didn't go anywhere this time, I'm afraid that he will be placed under house arrest." ”

"What!" Rouge was so frightened that he didn't hold the fan in his hand, and almost slipped from his hand to the ground, and a few dangling feathers swirled in the air, blown away by the breeze.

"Who is so bold to put my husband under house arrest!" Rouge shouted, looking at Mu Yan incredulously, and almost jumped to his feet in anger.

Mu Yan's face was itchy, and the wind blew his hair on his cheeks, like a gentle hand gently drawing his eyebrows and eyes, with a warm earthy smell, docile and soft.

Rouge was anxious to know Mo Yu's whereabouts, but Mu Yan in front of him was too calm, as if he had already known all the directions, his earnest gaze was more scorching than the sun, and each beam of gaze pierced straight into Mu Yan's skin.

In this world, how can there be anyone who can trap Mo Yu.

Mu Yan knew in his heart that with Mo Yu's ability, how could he be easily controlled by others with his hidden ability, if he really wanted to leave, who would stop him, and now that he stayed in the princess's mansion, he must have his own purpose.

"Now, look at this leaf." Mu Yan was uncomfortable with these lights, walked to the half-human-tall tree, and pulled down a tender green leaf, which was somewhat semi-green transparent in the sun.

Rouge looked at the ordinary leaf in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about, his eyes were about to penetrate this thin leaf, and he didn't see a reason.

Mu Yan's fingers clamped the delicate leaves that were about to drip, and shook them a few times under Rouge's incomprehensible gaze, the fingers were released, and the leaves lost their restraints and fell off staggeringly, "Look at its veins clearly, some things have an inevitable direction, and they are not controlled by other people's thoughts." ”

The afternoon sun has been shining for a long time, and there is some sweat on his body soaked through his clothes, Mu Yan walked along the corridor, under a shade, stepping on the fallen flowers on the ground, ready to go back to the house.

"Hey, I haven't figured out what this is." Rouge squatted down and looked at the leaves on the ground that had been abandoned to the ground, but when he looked up, he saw Mu Yan walking away, so he could only let go of the doubts in his heart, took steps, and hurriedly chased after him.

The incense was burning in the room, Mu Yan sat at the table, and there were a few stretched petals floating in the cup, which had been left for a long time, and the heat that was stirring up was almost none.

Rouge couldn't sit still for a moment, the curiosity in his heart had already been aroused, and he walked around the room a few times, but the rest of his eyes followed Mu Yan who was sitting on the side of the table.

Mu Yan couldn't see the rouge walking around him, he was a little amused in his heart, stood up, took the food box that had been placed on the table early, and said to rouge: "Let's go, do you want to go to the princess's mansion with me." ”

Before Rouge finished listening, he hurriedly nodded in response, took the food box in Mu Yan's hand, and went to the princess's mansion together.

said that he was going to the princess's mansion, Mu Yan now wanted to see what Mo Yu looked like now, speaking of which, he was really a little curious.

The carriage was bumpy, but fortunately, the location was not very remote, and it was just time to meditate, and it was already in the Jing'an Princess's Mansion.

"Miss, it's here." The coachman in the carriage whispered through the curtain, tightening the reins and turning the carriage to one side so that the people inside could go down.

"Yes." Even if there are several layers of thick cotton pads, after sitting in the carriage for a long time, there is some backache on the body, Mu Yan lifted the smoke gauze skirt that mopped the floor with his hand, and Rouge opened the curtain outside early, Mu Yan lowered his head slightly, held Rouge's hand, and stepped on the real ground.

The door was painted with bright red dye, and the huge plaque, the font of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, all showed the strong financial resources of the princess's mansion and the degree of favor.

A layer of sweat appeared in the palm of Rouge's hand, there were some signs that the food box in his hand was about to slip off, his ten fingers were a little white, and the throbbing sound in his chest felt like he was about to pop out in the next second.

I can see Brother Meng again, whether it is Brother Meng, who is gentle as a bone to himself, or Brother Meng, who is like a fierce demon, it doesn't matter, as long as I can still see him well, as long as he is happy, then I will probably be content, that's all.

"We're here to visit the eldest princess." Mu Yan showed his identity, he was a guard with a bright sword, he took a few steps back, and the door creaked open.

After taking a few steps forward, the fragrance of the garden filled the tip of his nose, winding and refusing to leave, Mu Yan walked a few steps, and when he looked back, the rouge girl was still standing in place stupidly, and the food box in her hand shook to indicate that it existed.

"What are you still doing there?" Softly scolded, Mu Yan's voice interrupted the mess in Rouge's heart, hid those thoughts again, and the steps under his feet sped up a little.

The tip of the nose was slightly sour, rouge sucked his nose, and pretended to look at the spring around him, "No, it's just stupid to look at these scenery." ”

"If you like it, I'll take you to see more, the scenery inside is much better than here." Mu Yan saw Rouge following him, no matter how Rouge tried his best to hide it, there was always a little uneasiness on his face, and he didn't poke it directly, but continued it casually.

I don't know how Brother Meng is doing recently, although it is the end of summer, but it is also very hot, I don't know if it hurts the heat.

By looking at the scenery, Rouge looked around, his eyes filtering the useless scenes, trying to find a familiar figure, even if it was just a glance.

The maid in front of her guided all the way, so that she did not lose her direction in such a winding path, just turned a corner, the scenery in front of her changed into a full of green, the lush bamboo forest spread on the land, and the sharp and thin bamboo leaves rubbed against each other, but you can also hear a sense of artistic conception.

A touch of the same dark green figure in the bamboo forest, how can that slender appearance be so familiar?

Rouge forgot to breathe for a moment, and the steps under his feet stopped unconsciously, with a little expectation, is this Brother Meng, his hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin, standing in the bamboo forest, and he was independent.

"Rouge?" Mu Yan's puzzled voice, and the rustling sound of the bamboo forest also fell silent in an instant.

It is not only the rouge full of anticipation that comes back to his senses, but also the dark green that he has been facing away, a strange face, and plain facial features, which have no overlap with the person in his heart.

Rouge seemed to hear the sound of his heart shattering, and he didn't stop at the similar figure, lovesickness is poisonous, but it makes people willing to sink.

Rouge picked a leaf from the crooked bamboo beside him, and smiled a little reluctantly, "I was thinking, if I have a chance to go back, I will definitely play it for Miss, but I didn't expect my mind to run away again." ”

"Well, the sound of the bamboo, then wait and go back." Mu Yan didn't mean to brush the rouge, nodded and happily agreed.

The rest of the way, no matter how many times the scene changes, Rouge never finds what he wants, even if it is only a glance, it is extremely luxurious.

"I wanted to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come early." The wind was blowing and it was so hot that Yin Yufu was leaning on the chaise longue, shaky, and the swaying scene in front of her gathered into a complete Mu Yan, got up and stroked her hair a few times, and said with a smile.
