After the four of Qingfeng retreated, Sikong Mingyi turned his head to look at Shang Moqi, who was convulsing, and replied expressionlessly: "No." ”

"Why?" Shang Moqi's eyes widened and he looked back in disbelief.

"Because I'm going home to spend the New Year with my mother." Sikong Mingyi continued to reply expressionlessly.

"......Well, the reason is strong, he has nothing to refute, but--"Then when will you be back in the future?" ”

"It should be soon!" Sikong Mingyi lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking.

Shang Moqi looked at him stunned for a moment, and then nodded speechlessly. I thought to myself, there is no difference between what he said and what he didn't say!

"Ahhh ”

"What's wrong?" Sikong Mingyi, who had just picked up the account book and continued to read, heard this voice of doubt, and asked reflexively.

"It looks like a carrier pigeon of the Yu'er family." Shang Moqi looked outside, uncertain about the answer.

"Pigeons?" When did the Youran family keep pigeons?

"yes." Shang Mo Qitou didn't reply: "You only thought of it after you left, and said that it was used to communicate back later." ”

Sikong Ming nodded clearly, followed Shang Moqi's gaze, and saw a snow-white pigeon just falling on the eaves outside the house, "Are you sure it's a dyer?" ”

"Not sure." Shang Moqi shook his head, "But you can give it a try." ”

"How do you try?" Sikong Mingyi stood up and walked to Shang Moqi's side and stood still, looking out of the house with him.

"Wait...... Shang Moqi finished talking back and forth all over his body, as if he was looking for something. Eventually, he found what he was looking for when he felt the purse tied around his waist, "Found it." ”

Sikong Mingyi turned his head and saw him take out a jade mini flute from his purse, and then put it in his mouth and blew it. The melodious sound of the flute came out, and the little head of the white dove on the eaves turned with the sound of the flute, as if it was discerning something, and after a few whispers, it spread its wings and went towards the sound of the flute.

"Ha, it's really You'er's family!" Shang Moqi happily put down the flute, walked to the window and opened the window so that the carrier pigeon could fly in.

"Goo-goo...... The white dove flew down to the tabletop, barking and walking back and forth, and the bamboo tube with credit on its left foot struck the sound of 'dangdang' on the table as it walked.......

"There is a letter on the feet." Sikong Mingyi said out loud after looking at it for a long time.

"Huh?" Shang Moqi walked towards the white pigeon suspiciously, gently picked it up with both hands and carefully untied the bamboo tube, then put it back on the table and stood, and touched its little head, "Xiaobai, be obedient." ”

Sikong Mingyi came to him, just heard this sentence, and immediately asked in shock: "This pigeon still has a name?" ”

"No, it's just that seeing that it's snow-white, I'll call it that casually." Shang Moqi said with big ignorant eyes.

Sikong Mingyi: "......" is really casual. (￣ェ￣; )

Shang Moqi ignored Sikong Mingyi's thoughts at this time, and all his attention was on the bamboo tube in his hand, "I don't know what news did Ranran and You'er send back?" I'll open it and take a look. As he spoke, he reached out and gently pulled out the small wooden plug at the seal, knocked the bamboo tube face down on the palm of his hand, and soon a note full of words was made.

Slowly unfolding the note, Shang Moqi read it from beginning to end, and his expression slowly changed from doubt at the beginning to joy. Sikong Mingyi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but be a little curious, "What did they say in the letter?" ”

Shang Moqi happily handed him the note and said, "Let me go to Qin's house, take out the tent we made that year, and send it to the Southern Imperial Mansion tomorrow." It's good that I have something to do now, so I don't have to panic by myself. ”

Sikong Mingyi took the note and read it, then handed it back, smiled slightly and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and go to Qin's house to get a tent?" I want to fly the pigeon to send a message back, there must be something urgent to use, you will go home after you come back, pack up and salute, and go to the South Imperial Mansion with me tomorrow! ”

"yes, okay." Shang Moqi nodded, carefully folded the note and put it in his purse with the flute; Then he asked, "Are you going to the Southern Imperial Mansion too?" Isn't returning to Beijing a different way? ”

"Hmm." Sikong Mingyi responded lightly, "Go and talk to them, and I'll go back to Beijing." ”

"Oh, that's fine. I'll go to Qin's house to get a tent first. Shang Moqi packed up the ornaments, stood up and waved his hand at Sikong Mingyi with the white pigeon, "Let's go, don't send it, I'll come to you early tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay."

After Shang Moqi finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of Ruixiang Building and went to Qin's house with his personal servant......

The next day, early in the morning.

Two delicate and gorgeous carriages drove out of Nancang County unhurriedly, followed by a few people on horseback, and the group headed in the direction of Nanyufu. After two days and two nights, at noon on the third day, they finally stopped at the gate of the small courtyard where they were renting.

"Yo~ This small courtyard is good!" As soon as the carriage stopped, Shang Moqi couldn't wait to jump down from it, and when he saw this rental courtyard at a glance, he said with great appreciation.

Sikong Mingyi followed and also got out of the carriage, stood beside him and nodded: "It's pretty good, clean and quiet." ”

Bumper bumper, Qingfeng stepped forward in a few steps and knocked on the door a few times. After a while, an inquiring female voice came from the courtyard: "Here it is." ”

Squeak--- door opened from the inside, and a little girl with a double bun poked her head out of the door: "Who?" ”

Shang Moqi's eyes lit up when he saw this girl, and he replied very excitedly: "Xiao Wanyun, it's us!" Quickly open the door and let us in. ”

Wanyun took advantage of the situation and saw the people standing outside the door, "Ah! Young Master Moqi, have you arrived? It's so fast, my lady said last night that you might be there in two days! So saying, several gates were opened, and all the people and carriages outside the doors entered.

"Isn't it that I'm afraid that your young master and young lady will wait to use the tent, as soon as we receive the letter, we will set off to rush here. Didn't you delay? Shang Moqi followed Wanyun Qi inside, and said in response by the way.

Wanyun smiled and shook his head, "No, no, it's just right." ”

"That's good." Shang Moqi smiled at her, then turned his head left and right, but he didn't see Qin Haoran and Youran and the others, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "What about your young master and young lady?" ”

"The young master and the young lady have all gone to the north of the city, and the slave and maid are now alone at home." Wanyun replied respectfully.

Shang Moqi nodded, signaling understanding.

"What? Are they not there? After telling the people to unload the things on the carriage, Sikong Mingyi walked towards them.

"Boy Sikong." Wanyun saluted Sikong Mingyi and repeated what he had just said to Shang Moqi: "The young master and the young ladies have gone to the north of the city, and it is estimated that they will be able to come back soon." ”

Sikong Mingyi nodded, looked left and right at the small courtyard, and said to her, "You go and take a look, find a place to place a tent." ”

"Yes." Wanyun bowed his head to accept the order, and then said, "Young Master Mo Qi and Sikong Gongzi go to the house to rest for a while, right?" There are slaves and maids here, and it can be arranged. ”

"That's fine, I'm really tired after more than two days of riding in the carriage, so I'll leave it to you here." Shang Moqi waved his shoulders casually, and after saying to Wanyun, he pulled Sikong Mingyi into the house.

After they left, Wanyun went to the Taoist room, cleaned up an open space and placed tents and other things, and then went to the kitchen, ready to get some snacks and kettle hot water to make tea; When all of this was done, there was another movement in the direction of the gate. She wiped her damp hands from her apron and walked out of the kitchen in a few steps, just in time to see them walk in through the door.

"Miss, young master, are you back?" Wanyun greeted him with a smile.

Leisurely smiled and nodded, and then found that there were two more familiar carriages and a few horses in the courtyard, and asked with puzzled eyes, "Brother Moqi and Brother Sikong have arrived?" ”

"Hmm." Wanyun smiled and nodded, "It's been a while, maybe I'm too tired from the journey, and I'm resting in the house at this time!" ”

"Really? It came pretty fast. He smiled leisurely and looked in the direction of the main house.

Qin Haoran reached out and rubbed the top of her head, and said softly, "Go in, don't keep them waiting." ”

"Wait?" Turning her head to look at her brother in a strange way, she continued in a very positive tone: "I think that the only one waiting for us is Brother Sikong, Brother Moqi must have found a random room now and slept soundly." ”

"Hehe, so sure?" Qin Haoran felt a little amused by this statement, and a pair of good-looking apricot eyes were dyed with a smile, and asked her rhetorically.

"Brother don't believe it, go in and take a look, won't you know?" She thinks she knows a lot about Shang Moqi's strange things.

The three brothers and sisters of the Mu family stood behind them, and they all couldn't help but laugh after hearing the leisurely words. Although Shang Moqi has not known them for a long time, he still knows more or less about his casual and unrecognizable nature, because now when Cousin Youran says this, they don't believe it 100% but 80% of it.

The three brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and followed the leisurely brother and sister towards the main house.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Sikong Mingyi looked towards the door and saw them at a glance; Standing up, with a light smile on his face: "Coming back?" ”

"Well, Brother Sikong has been waiting for a long time, right?" Leisurely smiled into the room and asked him rhetorically.

"No, we've just arrived." Sikong Mingyi smiled lightly and shook his head.

leisurely looked around left and right, and saw that there was only Sikong Mingyi in the room, and said in his heart, "That's really the case." However, in order to confirm what she thought in her heart, she still asked: "Brother Sikong, where is Brother Moqi?" ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Sikong Mingyi's eyes, but the expression on his face was still a light smile, and he replied: "He said that he was tired of the journey and went to sleep in the room." ”

Raised her eyebrows leisurely, looked back at the others very arrogantly, and wrote all over her face: Look, she is right! I went to sleep.

"Poof--hehe......" Mu Cen couldn't hold back for a while, burst out laughing, and gave a thumbs up to Youran, showing that he admired it very much.

Mu Lan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, her bright eyes stained with the finesse of pleasure; Qin Haoran rubbed her head with a doting face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker.

Mu Yan was very direct, stretched out his hands and hugged his fists, and said to her: "My cousin is really smart, and my cousin admires it very much." ”

Leisurely also returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Be polite." ”

Sikong Mingyi, who was standing on the side, didn't know what to say for a while, what kind of dumb riddle were they playing?
