The three days passed in a flash, and everything was normal in Shuiyue Villa, but there were more people coming and going, most of them were used to being close on weekdays.

Dongfang Fengjue and Chu Jin came to visit together, but they didn't see Mu Qinghan after two trips, and the house replied that they went to Wu County, and they didn't know when they would return, so the two of them invited Mu Zheng and went back to their respective homes.

On this day, Yu Ranqing and Yan Xuechu came with Chu Ling, and Mu Qingyan personally waited at the gate to receive them into Lanyan Pavilion. A corridor on the west side of the entrance gate is built along the lake, extending all the way to the main house. There are two rows of densely planted trees inside and outside the cloister, and the bare branches are not tall at this time, only the thickness of the mouth of the bowl. In the southwest corner, there is a neat row of houses, and two rows of small trees are planted in front of the house. The main house sits in the north and faces south, and there is a flower hall under the corridor, white marble railing stairs, green jade desktop, and pear embroidery stool; Wear the flower hall into the painting hall, facing the door with a heavy pear eight immortal table, eight pear chairs, a picture of a distant mountain on the north wall, belonging to the name 'Gongzi Weiyang'.

Chu Ling approached to take a look, and sighed, "Yan'er, I'm afraid that your painting is worth a thousand gold, and Weiyang Gongzi only hears it, and I'm afraid that there are few people in Linchuan City who know it." ”

"According to legend, Gongzi Weiyang is arrogant and arrogant, Wen Tao is martial, but he does not yield to the powerful, does not climb the famous family, comes and goes like the wind, and is alone." Yan Xuechu answered, and complimented the character who was so fascinating.

Mu Qingyan was stunned, "You said him too beautifully, how can there be such a character in this world, isn't it just a painting?" You and others are all talented people, but you have grown the ambition of others? She never knew that she was so praised after she became Weiyang.

Yu Ranqing was the last to walk to the painting, raised her head and took a closer look, "Regardless of the rest, this painting skill alone is unmatched in the world, and the world always likes geniuses, and there are people who want to exaggerate it." ”

The door on the east side of the painting hall was closed, and Amber pushed it open, and several people followed closely inside. But it was an inner hall, and eight screens of red and red characters were placed at the entrance. The house is extremely spacious, two Nanmu Luohan beds are placed on opposite sides, and the large and small railings around the body are all carved with magnolias, the style is unified, and the subtlety is very.

The door on the west side of the painting hall is wide open, and there is a large red sandalwood platform on the north side, with a very wide chair in the front and back, which can be sat and reclined. The countertop is neatly tied, and there is a green jade pen holder on the left side, a wind word inkstone, and a ruler. A stack of fine silk paper on the right. On the chair, there is a purple ground woven gold satin square pillow, a book is thrown at random, and a whole row of bookshelves behind him are mostly some stories from the streets, and there are also a few things to enjoy, which are not rich. The whole row of windows on the west side faces the lake, and there are two low couches under the windows, and several square pillows and soft cushions on the couch are also made of purple ground and gold satin; A high few in the middle of the two couches, a Boshan furnace on the top is surrounded by a faint magnolia fragrance at this time, and a thick foreign blanket is spread in front of the couch, the flower color is unique, and the blanket is a long one.

Exquisite and cinnabar flowing water on the spread of all kinds of snacks, preserves. The tea leaves are soaked in the tongue of a bird, and the water is clear.

Yan Xuechu was crooked on the chair and looked at the book casually, she was busy on weekdays, and she didn't have time to read the stories of such talented and beautiful women.

Several people sat on the low couch, and Yu Ran looked at Mu Qingyan quietly, and after looking at her for a long time, she was sure that she was not so sad that everyone was in a state of mouth, so she relaxed a little.

Chu Ling has always been rough, "Although this tongue is good, I don't love it very much." Sister Amber, please make me another cup, can you have a fragrant cake? ”

Amber bent the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, "Lord Lingjun is ruthless, that fragrant cake can't be two or three catties a year, you want to drink it now, but where can the slave get it for you?" ”

Chu Ling was amused by Amber's jokes, "Sister Amber hides her secrets, and others don't get it, how can you not get it in Shuiyue Villa?" In a blink of an eye, he went to provoke Xue Chu again, "Xue Chu, if you don't let Xiaozhu go back and get some, I want to drink that." ”

Yan Xue never raised her head at first, and it seemed that all her thoughts had sunk into the book.

Seeing that she was silent, Chu Ling stepped forward and snatched the book from her hand, glanced at it twice, and threw it back, "What should I be, it turns out that Xue Chu is a spring heart." He grinned and walked back to the table and sat down, still picking up the cup of tongue, looking disgusted, "This tea doesn't taste at all, but I don't know why you drank it." He sighed and took two more sips.

After a while, Amber came in with a cup in his hand and came in again, "Lord Ling, are you better at tasting this cup?" Put the cup of fragrant cake that had just been brewed in front of Chu Ling's eyes, with a smile on his face.

Chu Ling knew what it was when he smelled it, swept away the previous depression, and suddenly became jubilant.

Several people laughed at her childlike temperament.

Lunch was set up in the water pavilion on Ningxing Lake.

Lanyan Pavilion is near the lake in the northwest, and the stone bridge is erected on the lake, and the corridor is nine curves; At the end, there are two water pavilions, one is the book 'Xi Yu', and the other is a larger one without a plaque and without a name.

Xi Yushui Pavilion has a beautiful roll-up shed type rest on the top of the mountain, hanging the shadow veil on three sides, hanging a jade bead curtain in the place where it enters, a round table of white marble on the east side, six gooseneck chairs, each chair has a pillow and a thick cushion; Plain brocade, with the skills of Shu embroidery or plum or bamboo or peony, a pillow and a cushion into a set of its own, unassuming but extremely exquisite.

The weather is getting warmer, the birds are leaving the nest, and the ice and snow in Ningxing Lake are melting early. The willow branches along the lake are delicate and soft, and they have sprouted new teeth, and the green embryos the size of rice grains are about to stretch. On the other side of the lake, artisans are painting the pavilions along the lake, and the air smells of moist earth and lacquer.

On the table, there are four emerald goblets, a jar of sealed wine, four cold dishes, four stir-fried, two lo-mei, and two umami have been arranged; The four of them sat down, and Liuli patted the seal of the wine jar to pour wine for the four of them, and drank for a long time near the lake.

The wine is smoky maple dew, not strong or spicy, but also has some stamina, it is indeed suitable for women to drink. Yu Ranqing used to drink this wine here in the old days, and thought it was delicious, but she didn't know that this wine was precious.

Chu Ling drank it for the first time, and he was a little disgusted, "This wine is lighter, not like what I drink on weekdays." ”

Mu Qingyan suddenly thought that Qin Yan had the same words that day, and smiled lightly and didn't talk back.

A jar of wine is five catties, and several people drank half of it like water, and the wind blew to the end, and there was some beautiful scenery on their faces.

Chu Ling is a straight temperament and can't hide his words, "Yan'er, are you really willing to do it?" It's only been a few days since the incident, and she looks at Qingyan and everything is as usual, unlike ordinary women who want to die or live, and she can't understand it.

Mu Qingyan lowered his head and did not answer, his left hand supported his forehead, and his right hand gently rubbed the wine glass.

"Yan'er, some things are always unexpected, so don't worry too much about it. In this world, only the love between men and women is the weakest, and you can break as much heart as you want. Yan Xuechu also supported his forehead and sighed silently.

Chu Ling sat on Xue Chu's side and patted her shoulder with his hand, "Xue Chu, you can also see that Cousin Yin really cares about Yan'er, he was just deceived by Deng Min." "She's a little angry, those women in the backyard, all kinds of means; She was a little distressed by Mu Qingyan, a marriage contract that had been engaged since childhood was gone like this, and she couldn't tell how many tears she shed behind her back, what should she do in the future?

Yu Ranqing thought about the marriage contract, and there was infinite sadness in her heart, and a tear slipped quietly from the corner of her eye. Qin Yan is good at everything, but she already has that person in her heart, and she can't give Qin Yan any love, what should she do?

Mu Qingyan's low voice came slowly, "It's okay to get married, our Mu family has never had a wife, and I don't want him to take half or more of the attention from his concubine, and there will be trouble in the future, so it's better to take advantage of this matter now to save trouble in the future." ”

The three of them didn't answer, and everyone knew in their hearts that no one wanted their father-in-law to marry a second wife; But this era is like this, and a man's three wives and four concubines are inevitable processes.

"I don't know what will happen to me in the future, Yan'er, I really don't want to see you and your eldest cousin separated, it's a pity to have a relationship for so many years." Chu Ling thought about her grandfather in her heart, she obviously loved her grandmother but also had a side concubine, she never thought about a wife, and her mother's tutors were also the teachings of the housewife, which was completely different from what Mu Qingyan thought.

The Yan family has always had no male principal, and each generation selects an outstanding concubine to take charge of the family, and a husband and son-in-law, and spreads the branches. There is no restriction on other daughters marrying or adding, but they are the only one in charge of the family.

Yan Xuechu is the head of the family of this spokesperson, she has been strictly educated and in business since she was a child, she knows that she has nothing to do with love in this life, no excellent man wants to be rich, and she is helpless.

Four people, four minds.

The sun moved westward, and the weather in early spring was warm and cold, Amber and others came over to persuade them two or three times, and only then did a few people move their bodies and follow Amber into the previous study, make some hot tea and drink it before dispersing, and each took the maid back.

After sending the three of them away, Mu Qingyan stretched his waist and kicked his legs lazily, sat in his body for an afternoon, and led Amber and Cinnabar to Mu Zheng's courtyard, he hadn't been to see the old man for two or three days, was he still angry?

As soon as he walked to the gate of Jinlu Garden, a little guy hurriedly ran to the old lady's yard, and seeing that he was about to bump into Mu Qingyan and a few people, Amber casually pulled Mu Qingyan and flashed.

Cinnabar was not so polite, as soon as he raised his hand and swept towards the people with the palm wind of internal force, the little guy stood unsteadily, and sat on the ground with his ass.

After looking at the person in front of him, the little guy who was about to scold said something about to scold him lay on the ground and apologized, "Miss spared the little one, the little one didn't mean to offend." ”

"Why are you so panicked that you don't look at the road?" Amber put away her usual meekness and asked him half annoyed.

"Sister Amber, yes, yes......", the little guy peeked at Qingyan, and his voice was vague and he didn't dare to say it.

Cinnabar stretched out her toes to kick the little guy.

"Yes, it's the young master Nangong who is here again, noisily at the door and refusing to leave." After the little guy finished speaking quickly, he didn't dare to look up, just looked at the ground.

"What should I do, I don't have to go back to my grandfather, close the door and let him make trouble, you can step down!" Mu Qingyan didn't look at the little guy, and stepped into Jinlu Garden.

Amber raised her eyes and looked at Miss, and gave Cinnabar a look, "Miss, it's not a serious thing for Master Nangong to mess around like this after all, I'd better go and take a look!" "His Nangong family is shameless, he can't ruin Miss's reputation because of this, Miss is not wrong in this matter.

"Don't pay attention to it, it'll stop when it's enough, and he can't be like this every day for a long time." Mu Qingyan frowned lightly, the marriage contract has been withdrawn, what is the benefit of making trouble again.

Amber still went to the gate guard, Nangong Yin's whole person was so depressed, her face was gray, her beard was messy, and the robe on her body was still cut on the same piece of material as Miss in the old days, but now it is like losing its color and messy.

He was neither noisy nor noisy, and the guards did not let him in, so he stood there quietly outside the door, his body shaking slightly, as if he was about to fall down in the next second.

When I asked the guards, I learned that Nangong Yin actually came every day, and Young Master Han was afraid that the young lady would be sad so he didn't let people go back and forth. Amber couldn't bear it, and she didn't dare to show up to persuade her, so she had to invite the little guy in front of the door to send a letter to Yijian Villa. It wasn't until he saw Nangong Hao forcibly take him away that he sighed and returned to Lanyan Pavilion.

went upstairs, Mu Qingyan read a book under the lamp.

Amber hesitated, looking up at Mu Qingyan from time to time.

"Amber, if you have something to say, why do you want to stop talking, I can still eat you?" Mu Qingyan saw her six gods and no master when she entered the door.

"Miss, the eldest young master of Nangong doesn't look very good, the guard at the door said that he comes every day, and it won't work if he goes on like this." Amber's voice was small, and since the young lady got married, life went on as usual, and there was nothing unusual, and she couldn't understand it more and more.

Mu Qingyan dropped the book, stood at the window and looked at Ningxing Lake, but it didn't know when it rained. I can't remember how many rains this is, but it's dense and dense, but it's moist and sober, and I can't wait to come with the joy of spring.

"You've been sick for a few days, right? Now that the spring is cold, it is not very good, so it is better to go to the village to raise! Mu Qingyan muttered to herself.

"Is Miss going out of town? It's okay like this, out of sight is pure, and let the world know that Miss is helpless! Amber looked at Mu Qingyan's increasingly thin figure, and she couldn't say how distressed.

"I'll get up tomorrow morning and go back to my aunt, and I'll leave in the afternoon." Mu Qingyan nestled back in the chair, picked up the half-read book, and stopped talking.

Amber went out, called Coral to wait, and went to discuss with a few maids what to bring with him for tomorrow's trip.

After a while, dinner came out, Mu Qingyan let everyone coax everyone to say that he would not eat, and he drank some wine in the afternoon and was not hungry, so he ordered everyone to eat, washed himself and went to bed.

I haven't slept for a few nights, and I have lost and regretted in my heart. Maybe he shouldn't have indulged Deng Min in the first place, and the two little guesses couldn't resist the building near the water after all.

After the fifth watch, he dragged his tired and weak body to get up, put on his practice clothes, and carried the flame whip to the nameless pavilion. When it was dawn, I walked with internal strength for two weeks, and the whip method was thrown two or three times, and finally the nameless dullness was relaxed.

The spring breeze with the smell of light grass hits, the mind is clear, the heart is open-minded, and the indescribable comfort is indescribable.
