Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Purple Bamboo Forest

In the end, it was still Mu Qingyan who won with an absolute advantage.

Mu Zheng blew his beard and glared, and roared at her angrily, "You little enemy, you will be angry with me as soon as you come back!" ”

Mu Qingyan smiled and refilled his teacup with his own hands, and held it to his mouth, coaxing: "Don't be angry, can't I be wrong?" It should be respected for the elderly, and it will be changed next time, and it will be changed next time! There was no half-confession in his tone.

Mu Zheng took the teacup, and when he heard her say that he was old, he couldn't help but roar back, "You little ghost, I'm old somewhere!" If you dare to say it again, be careful that I beat you, hum! ”

Mu Qingyan poured himself half a cup of tea, held it in his hand and sipped it gently, selectively unable to hear his grandfather's roar.

Chu Han came in, heard the old man's angry scolding, approached with a smile, took the teacup in his hand and refilled half a cup, "Dad, you are angry with the smoke every time, why don't you beat her out of anger?" ”

Mu Zheng glared at Mu Qingyan angrily, seeing that her every move at this time was the dignified and steady appearance of everyone's ladies, with her own dignity. Suddenly opened his arms again, his baby granddaughter can be literate and martial, and there is indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

After pretending to sigh helplessly, he took the teacup handed by Chu Han, "Finally, I can still see people, and I will be done!" ”

Chu Han pursed his lips and smiled.

Mu Qingyan is fine, and people generally sit upright, the corners of their lips slightly curved.

Aunt Fu came in and called to eat, Chu Han helped Mu Zheng to get up, and Mu Qingyan obediently followed behind her to the front hall. Several people sat down, and Mu Qinghan came in from outside.

looked at Mu Qingyan's expression again, pulled her wrist and took a pulse carefully, and then settled down. personally filled a bowl of crucian carp soup and put it in front of her, her eyes warm.

A family of four, close to each other, a meal exhausted and left.

The magpie and the mandarin duck brought in the lotus seed soup that Aunt Fu had cooked for a morning, and the sweet smell was extremely attractive.

Mu Qinghan didn't like sweets, so he gave Mu Qingyan the lamp in front of him and looked at her dotingly.

It wasn't until Mu Zheng opened his mouth that Chu Han took Mu Qinghan and Mu Qingyan out of Jinlu Garden from the lakeside in the backyard, folded half a circle and went to Chu Han's Xiangxi Pavilion, and Qingzhi made tea again.

Mu Qinghan drank tea quietly, listening to Mu Qingyan and Chu Han gossiping, and the whole afternoon passed in such a warmth.

At dusk, he sent the brother and sister back to their courtyard, and Chu Han sat on the couch in a daze. My sister died when Yan'er was less than two years old, and Yan'er was already sixteen years old; Although he has been raised without parents since he was a child, he has become more and more sensible, and his ability to stand alone is like innate. sighed softly and sighed: It's just two children, and the time spent playing coquettishly is used in practicing martial arts and literacy, so it is rare to have such a situation today.

Mu Qinghan sent Mu Qingyan all the way back to her own yard before leaving.

Amber and Ruri both stood in the doorway and waited, watching her come in, one on the left and one on the right, walking slowly into the room.

The magnolia that has budded when you walk in the yard has already bloomed early. In previous years, large petals bloomed luxuriously purple, but now there is no trace of it. Mu Qingyan was a little annoyed, pulled the branches and leaves and puffed out his mouth, and only after a while did he unwillingly stomp his feet and went to the room.

There is a long pearl curtain hanging at the door, the evening breeze blows, strings of pearls collide with each other, the sound is soft, the sound is moist, and it sounds very pleasant.

Amber opened half of the curtain, Mu Qingyan elegantly carried her skirt into the door, the fresh magnolia incense was not strong but familiar and reassuring. took two deep breaths, which slightly stopped some of the regrets in my heart.

Dinner was set up downstairs in the hall, and Amber and Glass waited for her to use some.

In the upstairs bedroom, Linglong and Cinnabar rarely quarreled, and they prepared the things for bathing, and went into the water for Mu Qingyan's wide clothes. Pearl packed up the things she had brought back from the Blue Water Manor, and Coral came in with a stack of clothes: light lotus lotus, light purple, and most of them were white shirts, and the clothes were all fine cloud brocade.

I chose a lighter silk pajama, beckoned Linglong to take it over and wait for the young lady to wear, and put the rest into the cabinet. Amber came up, made the bed with her own hands, walked behind the screen with some hesitation, took the cloth towel from Liuli's hand and wiped Mu Qingyan's wet hair.

"If you have something, just say it!" Mu Qingyan tied the strap of her pajama, took the cloth towel in Amber's hand to wrap her hair and walked out of the screen, sat in front of the dressing table, and looked at herself in front of the bronze mirror.

Amber approached with another cloth towel in her hand and met Mu Qingyan's eyes in the mirror, "Miss, Gongzi Yin is here." ”

Mu Qingyan frowned, and did not answer for a long time.

"I was blocked in the main hall, I just said that I hadn't seen it for more than a month, and I wanted to see Miss!" When my father sent someone to say it, Amber asked her to reply that the young lady was asleep and it was inconvenient to disturb her.

Pearl looked at the young lady's silent appearance, didn't know what she was thinking, and was slightly worried, "If you don't want to see it, let people send it back, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!" Now that he is going to marry Deng Min, what else is he going to do? ”

Mu Qingyan's eyes turned to Pearl, as if asking.

"It has been rumored for some days, saying that Nangong Mansion wants to marry Deng Mansion and marry children, so Deng Min can be regarded as getting what he wants." Pearl said angrily.

Mu Qingyan retracted his gaze and shook his half-dried hair, "Go and tell him, come back tomorrow after breakfast, and finish everything at once!" I didn't have much emotion, got up and went to the study opposite, picked up a book casually and looked at it.

After entering the shift, Amber came to destroy it twice, and Mu Qingyan stood up and stretched his waist to fall asleep on the bed. Linglong lowered the bed curtains, and Amber extinguished the lights in two places before going downstairs to rest.

The moonlight is like practice, and there is still a faint moonlight shining through the tulle and the two-layer bed curtain in front of the window, Mu Qingyan put one hand on his forehead and thinks about his thoughts. The soft silk sleeves slid down, and there were two newly healed scars on the snow-white right arm, which were not hideous, but the color was much darker than elsewhere.

Yunxi specially prepared a mark removal ointment for her, and told her to rub it, and the scars would fade after more than a month.

Shen Luochen was drunk on the boat that day and returned to his original appearance after two days. All the way to the west, I got along well with the three aunts and nephews of the Yun family, and I was very polite to miss the love of Sanjiu all the way.

The boat turned from Weishui to Minshui and gradually headed towards the mountains. This water area seems to be a hole cut between the two peaks of Yunshan, the water surface is extremely wide, the water is clear and deep, the two banks stand majestically, all are cliffs that are difficult to climb, there is no beach and no tributary. The current is turbulent, and the boat is okay but difficult to moorth.

Sanjiu stood on the bow of the ship and commanded many boatmen, and although the water was dangerous, it was not difficult for him to come and go. After a full day of travel from sunrise to dusk, when the sun went down, the boat slowed down, stuck to the bottom of a mirror-like cliff, and lowered a small boat from the boat, and Sanjiu flew down first, landing firmly on it.

Shen Luochen followed, and the two of them took the three of the Yun family into the boat and got closer to the cliff. When approaching the cliff, Sanjiu turned over and entered the water from the boat and disappeared in front of the cliff.

Shen Luochen was born in the snowfield and does not know water. Fortunately, he clinged to the stone wall, and he held the boat firmly with his arms on the cliff, and the four of them looked at each other on the top of the boat.

After a while, Sanjiu came out from under the cliff again, "It's not yet the rainy season, and the water hole here is still walkable." He briefly explained the situation to Shen Luochen and the others, and went into the water first with Yunxun.

There is a hole in the cliff hidden underwater, and it is necessary to drill through it. It wasn't too embarrassing, and a few people followed Sanjiu into the water hole.

The cave is very spacious and can accommodate up to 100 people. Sanjiu went in one direction with the water, and after walking for about half an hour, there was no trace of water, turned into a road and walked again, and walked for nearly half an hour in this way, and the exit opened in the middle of the mountain.

Sanjiu hugged Yunxun all the way, and several people took advantage of the night to go again. Half an hour later, they came to a hunting house, Sanjiu skillfully turned out the rice and meat, and the aunt of the Yun family and Yunxi packed up some meals, and a few of them ate and rested here for the night.

After dinner the next morning, a few people traveled over the mountains and mountains for more than half a day, and there were already people slowly populated, and the city was faintly seen in the distance.

Since then, the descendants of Yunzhi and the medical canon that shocked the martial arts have evaporated from the world, and Chu Xu and An Xinlou have searched the world, and no trace can be found.

It cannot be said that Weiyang's actions and thoughts are really meticulous.

There seemed to be a Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain, and several people walked for another two quarters of an hour to the front of the village. But I saw a large purple bamboo forest, lush and full of life. The forest is surrounded by mountains behind the forest, the forest is surrounded by water, there is a courtyard near the west side of the forest, and there is a small bridge on the water surface to pass.

Sanjiu went up to the small bridge first, and several people followed, and there were already people in the courtyard who greeted them outside the bamboo forest.

Passing through the tight bamboo forest, there are only a few small huts on the east side, and the large open space looks like a martial arts training ground. Along the path into the courtyard on the west side, the house should have been built for some years, and it was full of antique heaviness.

There are no courtyard walls, and there are rows of trees planted here and there, which are connected by paths, enough for three people to walk side by side.

Shen Luochen took the three members of the Yun family to settle in the Purple Bamboo Forest since then, and half a lifetime of affection and a lifetime of joy and hardship are all in it.

When Shen Luochen went to see Xiao Ye, he was sitting in a big room writing.

"Mr. Shen, you're back!" Words are respectful.

Shen Luochen checked his pulse and checked his body again, "If you are well-nourished, when you have strength, you can walk around more, so that it will be easier not to fall into the root of the disease!" When he raised his eyes and saw that he was reading the book of governance, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

When I returned to my room, I had already prepared hot water and clean clothes, and although the clothes were ordinary silk and satin, they were new. After washing, I changed into the slightly wider robe of sauce color, and someone brought dinner.

After many days of sailing and two days of mountain roads, Shen Luochen had martial arts in his body, and he didn't feel tired, but his heart was getting more and more empty. He stood alone in front of the window, looking at the starry sky, as if he had been cut by a thousand knives.

Thinking that Weiyang secretly sent himself and the three of the Yun family here, he must not want to be found out. It's just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman, but she has a meticulous mind that a man can't match.

Such a beautiful and pure woman should be raised in the deep boudoir, and she should be beautiful for a lifetime, and stay with her every day. But he is a smart, literary and martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a captivating posture, lively and lovely. One of his hearts had long been lost in her, and he had felt that he was the best match in her life, but he had forgotten that he had a marriage contract.

That's what he should do as a man, and he can't break the contract. But if the marriage contract is not broken, how can he promise her a good life?

Shen Luochen's two lines of tears rolled down in strings, and his eyes were red but he didn't know it.

An air of desolation and sorrow enveloped him, and the cramping pain in his heart reminded him that he was no longer qualified to have it, and that he would really lose her. Only he knows that if one day she marries someone else, he is afraid that he will die of distress, and he will not be able to control himself to snatch her back. But can he? Can you?

In the palm of his hand, he clutched the cold cui gourd she had worn, and the cold cui still seemed to carry her body temperature, burning a flame in the palm of his hand. The flame burned hot, just like her temperament, and burned along his blood to his heart, and the pain of losing her was like this flame, burning away his life's desire.

Standing in front of the window all night, Ren's pain spread so that he completely understood the taste of love. Those past relationships are particularly precious, and he carefully hides those memories in his heart, and is reluctant to touch them again.

The sky was getting brighter, and Shen Luochen settled down in the purple bamboo forest from then on.
