When I got up early in the morning, I smelled the appetizing smell of food, and I hurriedly dressed and washed and rushed to the kitchen, only to see Tong Ruchu sitting in a wheelchair busy between the stove and the dining table, and a plate of delicious dishes with all colors and aromas had been served.

"Jiu'er, come and help, there are still a few dishes to be done!"

Seeing that Tong Ruchu was sweating profusely, Chu Jiu couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle Tong, is it a good day today?" Why do you want to make so many delicious foods? ”

"Today...... Today is a good day, but I can't say what is good, but it is a good day. Tong Ruchu smiled and stir-fried, and the words with unclear meaning made Chu Jiu more and more confused.

The meals were all served and set on the table, and Yan Li's worries and warmth happened to follow the fragrance of the dishes into the door, and the two of them looked tired on their faces and had exactly the same dark circles under their eyes.

"Brother-in-law, are you back?" Chu Jiu didn't know that Wen Moqing had returned the night before, so he hurriedly bought dishes and chopsticks while being happy, and happily sat down beside Yan Liwu, "Uncle Tong said that today is a good day, and he made such a big table of good dishes, Sister Honglian quickly tasted it, it was even more delicious than what her brother-in-law made!" ”

Tong Ruchu was still smiling: "I taught Xiaoqing's skills, so naturally I am not as good as me, but I am not inferior to those famous restaurants - Jiu'er, come, sit on my uncle's side." ”

When a few people ate together, Chu Jiu sat in the middle of Yan Liwu and Wen Moqing, the table was a round table, just so big, four stools were no more and no less, Chu Jiu went to sit next to Tong Ruchu, Wen Moqing and Yan Liwu were naturally going to be together. Tong Ruchu was still dissatisfied with the little gap that still existed between the two, coughed, asked Chu Jiu to change a big chair, and squeezed Yan Liwu close to Wen Moqing's side.

"Well, it's comfortable to look at this way." Tong Ruchu was finally satisfied, and smiled and ate with vegetables.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, guarding Tong Ruchu such an unreliable elder, Wen Moqing can be a serious talent! Yan Liwu was full of grievances of being bullied by others, and swept the table in a sullen manner, perhaps because the food was too delicious, and after eating, he forgot about those unpleasant things, and pulled the ninth day to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables.

Wen Moqing, who was forced to act as a housewife, didn't say half a word of nonsense, rolled up her sleeves to wipe the table and wash the dishes, while Tong Ruchu sat aside and was leisurely: "It's negotiated?" ”

Wen Moqing didn't raise his head: "I didn't talk about anything." ”

"It's not necessarily a bad thing if you don't talk about it, at least Miss Yan didn't kick you out last night - I ran to the girl's house in the middle of the night, so you kid can do such an unruly thing."

"It was Uncle Tong who told me that I don't have to abide by the old rules in everything." Wen Moqing disagreed, his eyes crossed the door, intentionally or unintentionally following the figure that appeared from time to time. After everything was cleaned up, Wen Moqing pushed Tong Ruchu to the sunniest place at the door, and he was lazily lying on the grass next to him, and his tone was lazy: "Every time Master selects a disciple, he has to go through Uncle Tong's review, Uncle Tong knows the most about the personnel of Junzilou, can Uncle Tong guess what happened the day I returned to the building?" ”

Tong Ruchu chuckled, quite lightly: "I can't guess what happened, but I know that it must be related to Bisheng." ”

Pondering for a while, Wen Mo sighed slowly: "Many people in the building have questioned Master's decision, when Uncle Tong asked Master to set up Bi Xiao as the young master, instead of Bi Sheng, who was more talented, did Uncle Tong already see Bi Sheng's problem at that time?" ”

"The owner of the autumn building knows how to appreciate best, no matter the mountains and rivers, pavilions, calligraphy and painting treasures, he can say its value in one word; And what I'm best at is knowing people, so when choosing a young master, the owner of the autumn building will come to ask for advice many times. Tong Ruchu didn't answer Wen Moqing's question directly, and the smile on his lips slowly faded, "I remember that the owner of Qiu Mansion also raised the same question at that time, why didn't I let him choose the smarter Bi Sheng, I told him, because Bi Sheng is narrow, suspicious and jealous, once he causes trouble, it will be a big disaster." In the autumn of these years, the landlord deliberately neglected Bisheng, in order to wash away the proud and impatient side of her heart, but it was a pity that ......"

"It's a pity that she is unrepentant, and the more she goes, the more wrong she becomes."

Wen Moqing's tone was a little cold, it didn't sound like she was discussing a fiancée who was engaged, Tong Ruchu glanced at him and shook her head gently: "Bisheng's child is not bad in nature, and she has been used to it by your senior brothers to get to this point, plus she is almost obsessed with you, once she is instigated and confused, it is easy to make a big mistake." Tong Ruchu was quite curious about Wen Moqing's coldness, and asked after a moment of silence: "What is Bisheng's situation now?" ”

"I don't know, I don't want to see her." The sun was shining on the clouds, Wen Moqing raised her hand to cover the dazzling light, and her tone was slightly impatient, "She said that Bi Xiao told her that I was in Anzhou, but with Bi Xiao's personality and understanding of my relationship with Liwu, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen." When I went back to the building, I didn't know what Bi Sheng said to the nerd in Song Zijie, a few people actually prepared flowers and wine to force me to get married, if it wasn't for Qianhan's shot, no one knew how big the matter would be. There is another point that I suspect that Bi Sheng and Jun Bai disappeared together, why did only Bi Sheng come back? If she was really with a friend as she said, then why didn't she even ask a question after Jun Bai disappeared, and wasn't she worried about Jun Bai's accident at all? ”

"Suspicious indeed. However, everything was just speculation before finding Jun Bai, and besides, Bi Sheng had no other actions for the time being, except for the forced marriage, you still have to look like a senior brother, otherwise it will be nothing more than Miss Yan who will be affected. ”

It was a waste to talk about these unpleasant facts in good weather, Wen Moqing took the initiative to end the topic, and accidentally touched the sword when he got up, and the sword spike made a crisp sound when he hit the scabbard.

Tong Ruchu looked at the sword slightly, and a trace of regret quietly flowed through his eyes: "Xiaoqing, you don't have to force yourself to be involved in the whirlpool of power. As I said, I don't hate anyone, and I have no intention of retaliating against what the emperor did, and if even you are bound by grievances because of the old hatred, I will owe so much debt in this life that I can't pay it off. ”

"There is no debt, is Uncle Tong tainted by sorrow?" Wen Moqing quietly put away his long sword, "The first emperor is dead, the old grievances have been written off, I am just doing what I have to do, willingly, and I don't feel unfree." If Uncle Tong has to think that he is responsible, he might as well do me a favor. ”

Tong Ruchu was helpless, half a wry smile: "I can't beat you." Anyway, I have nothing to do all day long, even if you put Miss Yan here, you will not be hungry or tired to her. ”

There is no need to open your mouth to please, Tong Ruchu knows Wen Moqing's thoughts well, and directly promised to take care of Yan Liwu, Wen Moqing does not talk much nonsense, and simply tells some of the preferences and habits of Yan Liwu After getting up and leaving, he ran to the back mountain to find Yan Liwu and the ninth day of the first month.

In these days in Qixian Mountain, Yan Liwu has experienced unprecedented ease and happiness, although every day is coarse tea and light rice, eating and drinking is sweeter than ever. The same is true for the ninth year of junior high school, who has been doing chores in the drunken wind and snow moon building, and the pleasure that should have been there but not enjoyed in childhood is all made up, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl picks flowers and flutters butterflies like a child all day long, and she never gets tired of it.

When Wen Moqing called the two back to the wooden house, Yan Liwu and Chu Jiu were still a little reluctant, and when they saw that Tong Ruchu was also there, they immediately forgot about their reluctance and began to talk non-stop around Tong Ruchu.

"Don't make a noise yet, listen to what I've to say." The two bursting chestnuts were rewarded to the two of them separately, and Wen Moqing's expression naturally pulled Yan Liwu to his side, "The matter in the building has not been dealt with yet, I have to go back today, and after a period of time, you take Jiu'er to live here temporarily, I promise that no one will disturb me again." There are all kinds of books on the bookshelves in the next room, you and Jiu'er can read and write with Uncle Tong in your spare time, and honestly wait for me to come back. ”

Knowing that Wen Moqing was leaving, Yan Liwu was a little disappointed and a little relaxed, nodded with a complicated look, and his eyes never refused to meet Wen Moqing.

Some words are the most tormenting when they are not clear, close and far away from him, and their feelings are as if they are nothing.

Wen Moqing still maintained a laissez-faire attitude, hesitated to move forward and disappeared, raised his hand and patted the top of Chu Jiu's head: "Jiu'er, are you happy here?" ”

Chu Jiu nodded vigorously, and the cleanest and innocent smile appeared on his green face.

"If you like it, don't leave, stay and take care of Uncle Tong for me." The good father's gaze that belongs to the ninth year of junior high quickly swept over Yan Liwu's side face, and Wen Moqing touched the tip of his nose and coughed, "Liwu will always be with you here." ”

Chu Jiu was overjoyed, his bright eyes flashed with anticipation and looked at Yan Li's worries, and his words stopped talking, and finally nodded helplessly.

Her relationship with Wen Moqing is not yet certain, and Qixian Mountain may not be her destination, but this is indeed her favorite place so far, the mountains are high and far away, there is no dispute with the world, you can stay away from the hustle and bustle and strife, and it is not a bad thing to be able to live a lifetime like this.

Seeing that the two women, one big and one small, did not refuse, Wen Moqing's thin lips were slightly raised, his eyes were clear, and his dark black pupils revealed a faint tenderness: "Jiu'er, Uncle Tong has no children, it is very lonely to live alone in the mountains, and there will be no one to take care of him when he is old, are you willing——"

"Be petty, don't be strong." Tong Ruchu didn't expect Wen Moqing to act like this, and hurriedly interrupted without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Although the ninth year of junior high school is young but very clever, listening to the first half of Wen Moqing's words, he quickly guessed what he meant, and looked at Tong Ruchu for a long time, and suddenly his little face became restrained, and his voice was as small as a mosquito: "Daddy doesn't want Jiu'er, Jiu'er doesn't have a father and mother, if Uncle Tong feels lonely, Jiu'er is willing to accompany Uncle Tong all the time and relieve Uncle Tong's boredom......"

In an instant, Tong was like a knife.

Shaoqing, stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Jiu'er, Tong Ruchu's gentle smile was slightly bitter, and his tone was slow and steady: "Not in the future, Jiu'er is no longer a child without a father and a mother, is it okay for Jiu'er to be an uncle's adopted daughter?" ”

The person in front of her is obviously her own flesh and blood, but she can only endure the pain and longing and pretend to be peaceful, and ask her if she is willing to be her adopted daughter. Yan Liwu was puzzled by Tong Ruchu's refusal to tell Chu Jiu the truth about his life experience, seeing that the father and daughter did not recognize each other, they were more distressed and pityful.

"Jiu'er, come here."

Yan Li's heart moved, and he suddenly pulled Chu Jiu attached to his ear and whispered, only to see Chu Jiu's immature little face showing hesitation, and after several encouragements, he mustered up the courage, turned around and ran to pour a cup of tea, and respectfully served it to Tong Ruchu's hand, with a crisp and pleasant voice.

"Nine, nine, please drink tea with Daddy!"

Tong Ruchu was stunned for a long time before taking the cup of hot tea, and his palms trembled a little.

In a trance for fifteen years, how many grievances and grievances he has made no longer pursued, and those grievances and wrongs have also been paid in vain, I thought that this life would end up alone and widowed on the top of Qixian Mountain, but I didn't want to be more than middle-aged, and I could see the only flesh and blood left with my wife.

In this life, death is enough.
