Chapter Twenty-Three: Disappointment
On the second day, when Mu Chumeng got up to eat breakfast, she thought that Mu Chumeng hadn't gone to Nanlin Pavilion for several days, and she was worried that Mu Chumeng would forget what she had learned before.
It's time to take Mu Chumeng to Nanlin Pavilion, anyway, now you don't have to practice dancing all day, and you are idle at home.
After eating breakfast, Mu Chuning cleaned up and walked to the study, wanting to take the results of his research in the past few days.
After taking the things, I was about to go to find Mu Chumeng, when a white dove suddenly flew by the window, which was the white dove she used to contact Mo Huai.
Go up and take out the note from the white pigeon's feet and spread it out. It reads: I am not in the cabinet when I have something to do today, if you want to come and let Uncle Chen entertain you.
Could this man be a man of God who has the power of a prophet in legend? How did he know I was going to Nanlin Pavilion today?
Did he send someone to watch over him? Thinking of this, Mu Chuning also looked around vigilantly.
But I don't think he would do it, Mu Chuning, who let down his vigilance, folded the note and put it away.
Since Mo Huai is not in the Nanlin Pavilion, the guard named Liyou should also be out of the Pavilion with Mo Huai.
Forget it, it's better to go back another day.
Mu Chuning sighed lightly, thinking about what she should do next.
I glanced at the book in my hand.,Forget it, and then continue to find out if there is a more effective way.。
As soon as I sat down on my seat and opened one of the medical books, I remembered the sound of Xizhu before I sat down in the chair.
"Miss, someone is looking for you."
"Who?"
Mu Chuning was a little puzzled, who would come to find him at this time?
After carefully stacking the information books on the table with other books on top and covering them, he walked over and opened the door.
"First Lemon."
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yin Qingzhu standing outside the door waiting, and Mu Chuning paused.
Didn't she say yesterday that she would have time to come to her house to play? Why did you take the initiative to come to your house now?
"Qingzhu? Why are you here, go and sit in my house. ”
Mu Chuning knew that now was not the time to be distracted, and the person who came was a guest, so he hurriedly beckoned Yin Qingzhu to sit in his room.
After taking Yin Qingzhu to sit down, he asked Xizhu Xizhu to prepare dim sum tea.
"Chu Ning, I didn't bother you, did I?" Yin Qingzhu asked cautiously.
"No, what are you here for today?" From Yin Qingzhu's expression, Mu Chuning guessed a little bit about the purpose of her coming, just to let Yin Qingzhu speak by herself.
"I ...... When I went back yesterday, I received a message saying that the third son would take me out to play tomorrow. When Yin Qingzhu said this, two blushes appeared on his face, and his expression was very shy.
"I was nervous and didn't know what to do, so I wanted to come to you and help me think about what to do."
The girl who was just in love was really ignorant, but did Yin Qingzhu forget that Mu Chuning was also a girl who had not yet experienced personnel like her.
She didn't know what to do with this kind of thing, how could Mu Chuning know?
Mu Chuning knew that she came over to talk about this, but she couldn't help anything, after all, she hadn't experienced it herself.
"I don't know what to do about this, you seem to have asked the wrong person." Mu Chuning smiled embarrassedly.
Hearing this, Yin Qingzhu thought in vain that Mu Chuning seemed to be a few months younger than him, and it seemed that he was really carried away by this sudden luck.
"I'm sorry Chu Ning, I didn't know who to look for for a while, so I came to you."
"It's okay, I understand how you feel."
After all, this is the first time that two people have gone out alone, and anyone will be a little excited and nervous, let alone with someone they have liked for so long.
But what this Gongliangxun thinks, Mu Chuning doesn't know, this person's thinking is strange, and it's hard to guess what he will do next.
"But I'd suggest you just think of it as a normal outing, and don't think about who that person is."
"But I can't help but wonder who he is."
Yin Qingzhu said and lowered his head helplessly.
Seeing Yin Qingzhu so depressed, Mu Chuning did not continue.
Stretched out his hand and grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to the small plate in front of Yin Qingzhu.
"My sister likes to eat this osmanthus crisp very much, you can taste it."
After speaking, he took another piece and took a small bite in front of him.
Yin Qingzhu saw that Mu Chuning was eating very fragrantly, and couldn't help but pick it up and take a bite.
After chewing a few times, he smiled slightly and continued to eat, which melted in his mouth and was very sweet.
"Are you feeling better?"
Yin Qingzhu paused, and looked up at Mu Chuling's apricot eyes full of smiles.
It seemed that his mood was indeed not as low as just now, and he nodded approvingly.
"Sweets are a good thing to regulate your mood, and if you encounter something unhappy in the future, eat something sweet, so that your mood will go faster." After Mu Chuning finished speaking, she glanced at Yin Qingzhu, who was a little stunned, with satisfaction, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Yin Qingzhu, who heard for the first time that he could adjust his mood by eating sweets, felt very novel, he rarely ate sweet things on weekdays just to maintain his figure.
I feel that only in this way can I keep myself beautiful and let Gongliangxun like me.
"By the way, did you practice playing the pipa so well since you were a child?"
"Well, I learned the pipa at the age of twelve."
While eating snacks, the two began to chat.
When it was almost noon, Yin Qingzhu was about to leave, Mu Chuning wanted to leave her for lunch before leaving, but Yin Qingzhu was embarrassed to stay and insisted on leaving.
"Remember to bring a box of snacks then." Mu Chuning instructed.
"Understood." Yin Qingzhu nodded knowingly and left.
In a small courtyard deep in the temple of the true source......
Song Lian was holding a heavy futon and preparing to hang it on a bamboo pole in the courtyard to dry.
The weight of the quilt was somewhat beyond Song Lian's capacity, and it was very laborious to hang it.
It was not easy to put the bedding and lay it out, and then Song Lian picked up a wooden stick and slapped the dust mites out of the quilt.
Patting and patting, Song Lian suddenly felt as if there was a line of sight staring at him behind him, and when he turned around suddenly, the feeling disappeared again, and there was no one else around him except himself.
What's going on? Just now it was obvious that someone was watching me.
After a closer look around, I still didn't find anyone.
Could it be my delusion? Song Lian thought to himself, and continued to pat the quilt again.
On the edge of the eaves not far away, two black figures were cats, carefully watching the situation in the courtyard.
"Young master, it's just in danger, we're almost going to be discovered."
"It's better to be careful, we hide better and we won't be discovered."
These two people are Mo Huai and Li You who went out.
Finally got the news that Song Lian would appear today, and Mo Huai ran directly here without saying a word, just to confirm whether this person was the person he was looking for.
As soon as Song Lian came out, Mo Huai was so eager to see Song Lian's appearance clearly, so much so that he forgot that he was still observing in the dark and couldn't be exposed.
"Has the young master seen this woman's face clearly?" Liyou asked in a low voice.
In fact, at first, Song Lian had his back to Mo Huai's side, but he finally turned around, but he was hiding for fear of being discovered, and he couldn't see it clearly at all.
"Nope." Mo Huai shook his head helplessly.
Song Lian finished patting the quilt, turned his head and returned to the house, and at this moment, Mo Huai still saw her side face clearly.
Mo Huai remembered that when he was a child, his aunt often came to take him out to play, and he still remembered it.
The silhouette of the moment just now, Mo Huai felt that it was a little similar and a little different from the aunt he saw when he was a child.
The same is her appearance and her similarity, but the difference is the temperament on her body.
If he remembers correctly, his aunt was more than ten years older than him, and she was very lively and outgoing. But this woman is so calm, and there is no trace of vitality at all.
Whether this person is his aunt Mo Huai or not is not completely confirmed, but Mo Huai still decided to continue to observe for a while to make a conclusion.
"I'll go first, you keep staring here."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Li You's reaction, and disappeared into the bamboo forest with a slight jump.
Li You, who had long been accustomed to his master's freedom of coming and going, silently stared at every move in the courtyard.
On the second day, it was the day when Yin Qingzhu traveled with Gongliangxun as he wished.
got up early and dressed up carefully, and listened to Mu Chuning's instructions to let the maid prepare a snack box for herself.
After preparing everything, Yin Qingzhu walked to the door early and waited for Gongliangxun's arrival.
In order to suppress the tension in his heart, Yin Qingzhu also took a few deep breaths and looked into the distance with anticipation.
However, after waiting for a long time, people did not wait for a letter from the Gongliang Searcher.
Yin Qingzhu had a bad premonition when he got the envelope, and his face turned white instantly after opening it and reading the contents of the letter.
Sure enough, she knew...... Gongliangxun doesn't want to be with him after all.
The momentary sense of loss and the colic in my heart are intertwined......
Holding back the tears that were already rolling in his eyes, he turned around and ran towards his courtyard.
When he returned to the courtyard, he ignored the worried inquiries of the maid behind him, and ran back to the house in one breath to close the door and isolate the sound outside.
Putting the snack box on the table and sitting down, tears finally slid down her fair cheeks.
The grievances in his heart all rushed to his head at once, but Yin Qingzhu didn't cry, raised his hand and wiped away his tears.
His eyes shifted to the mahogany food box on the table, and he remembered what Mu Chu Ning said to him that day.
If you encounter something that makes you feel bad, you should eat some sweets to adjust it......
wiped away the tears that had just flowed again, reached out and opened the food box, grabbed a piece of pastry inside, and sent it to his mouth.
Gongliang Xun, what if you refuse to go to an appointment with me today? I, Yin Qingzhu, am someone who will give up easily.
At this time, Yin Qingzhu no longer had the quiet appearance he had on weekdays, and he took a big bite of the pastry in his hand, his eyes flashing with determination.
Gongliangxun, who was heading towards Linghu, sneezed violently at this time.
"Could it be that Miss Yin is secretly scolding me when she sees that she can't go with me?"
Shook his head helplessly, forget it, it is not easy to get rid of a trouble, it should be more relaxed.
