Although the small courtyard is not big, it is very carefully arranged, and it is at the northeast foot of the entire Baifu, and the environment is quiet, which is suitable for summer. Although there is not much furniture in the house, everything can be seen in the mind, which proves Tian Xiaozhi's intentions for the Chen family and Tian Laibao.

After looking around, he had a general understanding of the environment here, Mu Qing nodded with satisfaction, and Fang asked the maid who came with him to take him out again.

Tian Xiaozhi effortlessly solved his own confidant trouble for so many years, and he was in a good mood. But when facing Bai Fugui, his expression was faint, and he still persuaded with a generous look: "If the master has a woman he likes in the future, just tell me." I know that I have not given birth to a son and a half daughter to the Bai family for so many years, which makes the master embarrassed, and if the master wants to bring someone in, I will not object. As long as it is a woman from a good family who is innocent, I will not object. Tian Xiaozhi's words were beautiful, but Bai Fugui would not take them seriously.

The last time he was in Tianjia Village, Tian Xiaozhi was able to break up unhappily because he suspected him of going to see Tian Xiaocui, whether his wife was really as generous as he said, he wouldn't really believe it.

What's more, the innocent woman from a good family in Tian Xiaozhi's words was deliberately bitten with a heavy accent, and he wouldn't think that Tian Xiaozhi was unintentional. What is net worth, please be innocent? It's not up to her to decide.

Although he knew in his heart that what Tian Xiaozhi said was just polite words, Bai Fugui still pretended to be relieved on his face. Tian Xiaozhi's words naturally also spread from the maid's mouth to the ears of Old Madam Bai. The old lady twisted the Buddha beads, closed her eyes slightly, and lifted her eyelids after listening to the maid's relay: "Did she really say that?" ”

"It's true, the slave listens to it. At that time, the in-laws and her widowed sister-in-law listened. The little maid knelt on the ground, not daring to hide it in the slightest.

"Oh? Didn't you say that the Tian family kicked that girl out of the Tian family? Why did you call her here again today? The woman had suffered so much wrong, and she was willing to help them this time, which can be regarded as a success. Old Madam Bai opened her eyes and said thoughtfully.

"The slave maid heard that it was the in-laws and the lady who made the raft with the young master, so the woman agreed to come to our White Mansion." The little maid kneeling on the ground raised her head and quietly glanced at the old lady, and then revealed the news she had inquired about.

"Oh? So she's still a kind-hearted child. It's right for my temper. It's a pity that I only have such a son in my life......" Mrs. Bai sighed, but the rest of the words were never spoken. The people in the hall closed their ears as if they had heard nothing. As a slave, you must learn to observe words and looks, what to say and what not to say, that is a major matter related to your own life.

Regardless of the turbulent tide of the Bai family, Mu Qing, who finally met Tian Laibao as she wished, was in a good mood, with a smile on her face on the way back.

At the beginning of the lanterns, most of the people in the town still maintain the simple habits of the countrymen, and at night, the doors of their homes are closed. Occasionally, two or three kittens scurried by on the street, and startled pedestrians screamed.

Except for the restaurant and the restaurant that did business at night, the street was deserted.

Mu Qing walked briskly and walked to the rented place in a good mood. The sound of clackling footsteps was unusually clear on the bluestone bricks. The lantern in his hand stretched Mu Qing's shadow very long, very long......

Baifu is on South Street, and Mu Qing's rented courtyard is on North Street, in order to reach the rented courtyard, Mu Qing needs to pass through most of Tianshui Town. Just after Mu Qing entered the range of North Street, the footsteps of another person suddenly sounded behind him, and through the shadow projected on the ground, Mu Qing saw that this person was clearly a tall man. Thinking of the inexplicable feeling of being watched in the alley a few days ago, Mu Qing panicked, and his eyes quickly looked around.

The shops facing the street have closed their doors and windows at this time, and the lively street during the day is particularly deserted at this time, and there is no trace of the liveliness of the day. Mu Qing quickly filtered all the shops nearby in his mind, and when he thought that there was a tavern not far in front of him, he couldn't help but speed up the pace of his steps. The steps of the man behind him quickened as she quickened.

Seeing that the tavern was in front of her, and she could already see the lights of the tavern, Mu Qing was overjoyed, stumbling under her feet, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the ground, a slightly smiling voice sounded behind her, and the next moment Mu Qing felt a fragrance like bamboo rushing into her nose.

"Miss Mu, are you excited to see me?" In the moonlight, the man had a smile in his eyes and a playful joke on his lips.

"It's you!" Mu Qing's eyes widened in surprise, and the next moment she felt that her posture was wrong, and she realized that she was still in the arms of that person, and she jumped out like a frightened rabbit, and her face was involuntarily flushed.

"It's me. Why is Miss Mu so surprised to see me? Didn't Miss Mu think of inviting me to drink in the tavern because she guessed that the person behind her was me? Zhou Yuanqing held the fan in his hand, and opened it when he thought it was romantic, and teased while instigating.

The corners of Mu Qing's mouth twitched, desperately suppressing the urge to complain. As a person who has been poisoned by all kinds of TV for more than 20 years, she really can't understand why those male protagonists in costume dramas like to pretend to be forced with fans. It's okay in the summer, but you also hold a fan in the winter, so you're not afraid of catching a cold? Or do those people have already developed a good skill and are not afraid of a small virus like a cold at all? Well, it looks like the image of a cold in winter is not too bad. Who started this kind of stupid thing that outweighs the losses?

Zhou Yuanqing's appearance alleviated Mu Qing's fear to a great extent, and his seemingly three-word joke also made Mu Qing recover from his embarrassment.

"Since I met it, I naturally wanted to invite Zhou Gongzi to the tavern for a drink. It's just that I'm not a good drinker, and if I get drunk later, I'll have to trouble Zhou Gongzi's people to send me home. Mu Qing, who had returned to normal, said to Zhou Yuanqing with a decent smile and a smile.

Zhou Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, then made a gesture, and with a brush, a figure in black appeared silently beside Mu Qing. Mu Qing swallowed her saliva and moved a small step nervously. She actually secretly guessed Zhou Yuanqing's identity in her heart, but guessing is speculation, she mainly does business with him, and as for the rest, she really doesn't care much, that is, she just inquires about it by the way. But later, after she repeatedly hit a wall in the process of inquiry, she gave up the idea of asking again. Heng Zhi is a character that she can't afford to provoke.

But after seeing the obviously well-trained man in black who followed Zhou Yuanqing's side, Mu Qing's guess about his identity quietly became active in his heart.

"Later, you will be responsible for sending Miss Mu home, let's go." Zhou Yuanqing only gave a faint order, and then made another gesture, and the man disappeared silently.

"Miss Mu, you should rest assured now." After Zhou Yuanqing disappeared, when he turned to face Mu Qing, his face had already changed to another expression.

Mu Qing touched the cold back of her neck, secretly thinking that if that person made a move just now, she might not even notice that she was dead and disappeared quietly. Thinking of this, she became more and more sure that the person who followed her before was not Zhou Yuanqing. However, for the sake of prudence, after thinking about it, she still asked, "When did Gongzi Zhou see me?" Mu Qing asked this skillfully, not asking anything else, only asking Zhou Yuanqing when she saw her, as long as Zhou Yuanqing said the specific place, she would be able to deduce the others.

"Miss Mu's question is so strange, but it makes me a little confused. What happened to Mo Isn't the girl before? "What kind of person is Zhou Yuanqing, that mind is by no means comparable to ordinary people. As soon as Mu Qing's question was asked, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's go to the tavern in front and talk while eating. Last time, I dragged your family to bring you a letter, and you said that you still have some stock there, and I am thinking about asking where you can pick up the goods these days. Seeing that Zhou Yuanqing was suspicious, Mu Qing didn't say much on the road, in case the person who was secretly staring found out that she was already alert, and she didn't know what would happen in the future. So in order not to startle the snake, Mu Qing forcibly changed the topic and took Zhou Yuanqing to the tavern in front.

Zhou Yuanqing is a good person, Mu Qing's careful thinking he guessed through, and when he heard Mu Qing change the topic, he also followed the topic with interest, and the two talked about the follow-up of the glass bottle.

There was a lot of noise in the tavern, and Mu Qing frowned as soon as she entered. She was dressed as an unmarried girl, coupled with Zhou Yuanqing who was accompanying her, most of the people in the tavern had already misunderstood, and even the shopkeeper followed suit: "This son, young lady, please upstairs, there is a private room upstairs, I guarantee that no one else can hear what you say." ”

As soon as he said this, Zhou Yuanqing was very calm, but it was Mu Qing who was embarrassed, and the flush that had just retreated was so coaxing that it crawled all over his cheeks again. But this kind of thing is that she can't do more with others, so she can only follow the shopkeeper to the second floor with her head down. It wasn't until I entered the private room and sat down for a while that the flush on my face began to subside.

"Miss Mu, this isn't the first time I've gone out to do business, right?" Zhou Yuanqing didn't move the tea in front of him, but the man in black who followed him took out a cup of tea from his baggage, and Zhou Yuanqing took two sips of his cup before speaking.

Seeing Zhou Yuanqing's series of actions, Mu Qing's hand holding the tea paused, and the glass of water he was holding was not to drink, nor was he not drinking, so he simply put it on the table and thought about Zhou Yuanqing's question. All the sophistication she pretends to be is just the experience she gained from bargaining when shopping in modern times, but if she paid the bottom at this time, she was not sure whether Zhou Yuanqing would take the opportunity to raise the price. After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Qing still decided to hide her youthfulness.

Zhou Gongzi laughed. I have also promoted a lot of business in Tianshui Town, but I don't dare to claim to be the first time in front of Childe, otherwise I would not have deceived Childe. Of course, compared with a big man like Zhou Gongzi, my idea skills are completely insufficient. Mu Qing humbled herself and felt that there was nothing wrong with her words before saying them.

Zhou Yuanqing's face was hidden behind the tea, but the slight pause in his hand was captured by Mu Qing.

"Miss Mu is too humble. In my opinion, in less than three or five years, Miss Mu's achievements must be above me. Maybe even I will ask the girl to eat at the time. Putting down the teacup, Zhou Yuanqing looked at Mu Qing and joked with a smile.

Mu Qing didn't dare to answer his words, so she could only pull the corners of her mouth stiffly, showing a confronting smile and fooling the past.

For a while, the private room was silent, and the two were relatively silent. Mu Qing picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but suddenly thought of Zhou Yuanqing's actions and gave up this idea, so he could only sit in his position with dry eyes, turning his head and pretending to enjoy the scenery outside.

At an angle that Mu Qing didn't see, Zhou Yuanqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, indicating his good mood at this time.

Fortunately, the shop is small and second-hand, and the dishes ordered came up quickly.

After an afternoon at the Bai family, and he was scared on the road just now, when he saw the food coming up, Mu Qing's stomach gurgled. Zhou Yuanqing pursed his lips, smiled slightly, and then said: "If Miss Mu is hungry, eat first, I have already had dinner when I go out, so I am not very hungry at this time." ”

Mu Qing pressed her stomach in protest and blushed embarrassedly. She can't control this kind of physiological reaction. What can she do when she encounters this kind of thing, she is also desperate.

Just when Mu Qing was embarrassed, the door of the private room was knocked again, and with Zhou Yuanqing's "come in", the man who had been in contact with Mu Qing before walked in. He walked straight to Zhou Yuanqing's side without squinting, leaned over and whispered two words in his ear, Zhou Yuanqing raised his eyebrows as his voice fell, and then got up and said to Mu Qing: "Miss Mu, it seems that we can't drink today's wine." I'll go back to invite the girl another day, I'll leave it to you, I'll leave it to you, let him send you back later, the little girl's family, it's night, you still have to pay attention to safety. ”

Mu Qing didn't know if he said this because he had discovered something or if it was just the concern between friends, so he could only thank him with a smile, and watched him take the man downstairs quickly and walk into the night.

Without Zhou Yuanqing by her side, Mu Qing let go of her belly to eat, she couldn't eat anymore when she ate straight, and she stopped when she felt like she was about to vomit out after eating more, and was accompanied by Xiao Ba, who was secretly escorted, and returned home.

Xiao Ba sent her back smoothly, and then carefully searched around before returning to Zhou Yuanqing's courtyard.
