049. Skeleton

He grabbed my hand and stroked his eyebrows and smiled, "This is not a book of poems. ”

I smiled and said, "I can't memorize the poems in that poetry book, I only memorize what I know." ”

He kissed the back of my hand and said, "In the future, this kind of poem is not allowed to be read again, it is all some unlucky parting meaning." ”

I put my arms around his neck, put my cheek on his neck and said, "You made me carry it." ”

He snorted and said, "I didn't let you carry this. ”

I rubbed it and said, "I've got it all on my back anyway." ”

Mu Jing didn't speak again, just hugged me quietly, his body is warm all year round, unlike me, even if the clothes are thick, but the hands and feet are always cold, I like to stick to him like this, like holding a big stove, the faint medicinal fragrance on his body penetrates into the tip of his nose indescribably comfortable.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Mu Jing didn't let go of me, still holding me and picking up the documents on the table, dealing with business.

He said two words: "Come in." ”

A person came in outside, I don't know who it was, but it was Steward Zhou's voice that came, he said, "Sir, there was a call from abroad and I asked Miss if she had two years of study left and whether she would continue to study." ”

Mu Jingchi glanced at me on his shoulder, and seemed to remember this incident and said, "I forgot about it, since I have returned to China, I naturally don't need to study abroad." ”

Steward Zhou said yes, then retreated and closed the door in the house.

I didn't expect that just half a year after I came back, everything had been turned upside down, just a few months ago, I was a student who returned from studying abroad, but now I am married and a wife, and this kind of thing naturally has nothing to do with me anymore.

Inexplicably, I was a little sad, and I even missed those days abroad, although the bitterness was a little bitter, but any bitterness compared to now, it became sweet.

Mu Jingchi also seemed to feel my feelings, he stroked my head and said, "People always have to grow up, if they still want to go to school." Shall I choose a women's college in China for you? ”

I said, "No, Steward Zhou always says that women don't need to read so many books, and if you want to send me to school again, he will definitely have to talk about me again." ”

Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "You are a person who is not even afraid of me on weekdays, but how can you be afraid of Steward Zhou." ”

I tugged at his collar and said, "I'm not afraid of him, I'm just too lazy to bother with him." ”

He touched my head and said, "I'm quite sensible." ”

I thought that he still had a lot of things to deal with, so I withdrew from his arms and said, "I'll go to Jasper and Qing'er to play, and I won't talk to you." ”

He smiled, and I climbed off him, and when I was about to leave, he grabbed me, grabbed my head and dropped a kiss on my lips, I didn't move, let him kiss, he kissed me for a long time, and after kissing my body a little weak, he gasped and let go of me, and then rubbed his fingers between my lips and said, "If I wasn't afraid that you would be bored with me, I would have to detain you to accompany me on business." ”

I smiled and said, "I don't want to accompany you." ”

He twisted the tip of my nose and said with a smile, "Something without conscience." ”

I smiled and glanced at him, just when a maid came in, I broke out of his arms, quickly went out, and when I arrived outside, who knew that Steward Zhou did not leave, but was still standing outside the corridor, I was startled, and looked at him with a little surprise.

I didn't want to say hello, but after thinking about it, I still called out when I passed by him: "Steward Zhou." ”

He called out to me, "Miss." ”

I hummed and was about to pass by him, when I suddenly thought of Zhou's mother again, so I stopped and asked him, "Zhou's mother...... How have you been? ”

Steward Zhou said: "She is old now, and she is already in the days of retirement, so she has settled down and retired with peace of mind." ”

Hearing him say this, I put down my mind a little, since there was nothing more to ask, I wanted to continue to walk forward, but who knew that Steward Zhou called me again behind me.

I stopped.

Behind me, he asked, "Do you plan to live like this all the time?" ”

I looked back at him, and he walked up to me and said, "It may have been okay before, but now it seems that something is wrong, after all, you are the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family." ”

I knew that Steward Zhou would have to say this to me sooner or later, and I was not surprised at all, but looked at him very frankly and said, "You really want me to go?" ”

He said, "It's not that I want you to go, but do you think you're fit to stay?" ”

I didn't know how to answer his question.

Steward Zhou walked up to me and said, "Let me tell you three points bluntly, first, because of the Mu family and your Lu family, you shouldn't stay here, second, now that you are married, it is even more inappropriate to stay here, and third, Mr. has agreed to marry Miss Wang." ”

I looked at him, and he asked, "When Miss Wang marries and comes in, do you think you can stay here for a long time?" ”

I said, "When did this happen?" ”

Steward Zhou said with a smile: "What was decided this morning has already sent news to the palace." He looked unaware when he saw me. And he asked, "What?" Didn't the sir tell you? ”

Mu Jingchi really didn't tell me, and he didn't mention anything about it today.

Steward Zhou saw my expression like this, and he said: "You are now an adult, and the guilt of your husband for your Lu family is almost wiped out, so it is time for you to leave, if you don't leave at this level, you are standing on the bones of your whole family singing and dancing for your ridiculous love." ”

I looked at him and asked, "Why do you hate me so much?" ”

He said, "I don't hate you, I'm here to remind you." ”

I sneered and said, "I know these words very well, and I don't need you to remind me." ”

I turned around and wanted to leave, but he was still behind me and said, "You'd better think through all this yourself, and don't wait for Miss Wang to enter the door and embarrass yourself." ”

Steward Zhou's words were like a cold weapon that pierced my heart.

At this time, Qing'er and Biyu walked out of my room and called out to me: "Miss." ”

I glanced at them, didn't care about Steward Zhou behind me, and continued to walk forward.

After arriving at the house, Biyu and Qing'er saw that my face was not very good. She waited carefully in front of me, Qing'er was much bolder than Biyu, and she asked tentatively beside me, "Miss, but what did Steward Zhou tell you?" ”

I was silent for a while and asked Biyu, "Is Mu Jingchi going to marry Wang Zhizhi?" ”

Qing'er was shocked and asked, "When did it happen?" Isn't the marriage suspended? ”

I didn't speak, apparently Qing'er and the others didn't know about it yet.

I called out to Qing'er.

She answered and looked at me.

I said, "You help me go to the Mu Mansion to inquire if this matter is true." ”

Qing'er thought about it, and said yes to me,

After Qing'er left, Biyu accompanied me and said cautiously: "Miss, Mr. loves you so much, in fact, it doesn't matter if you marry or not." ”

I asked Jasper, "Do you think you'll marry too?" ”

Biyu was afraid of making me unhappy, so she immediately denied it and said, "No, no, Jasper doesn't mean that." ”

I sneered and said, "Okay, no more say, I know." ”

Qing'er came back after two hours, I don't know who she asked, her face was not very good when she came back, and she called Miss after coming to me.

I asked her calmly, "How is it, do you have an answer?" ”

Qing'er said, "There is." ”

I looked up at her.

Under my gaze, she hesitated and said, "It's true, I asked Wang Shuyi to inquire, and she said that the news has been sent to the palace, and this morning, in a few days, I will plan a day to bring Miss Wang in." ”

I didn't speak, Qing'er was afraid that I would be excited, so she walked up and immediately held my hand and said, "Don't worry, after the marriage is decided, it may not be possible, have you forgotten last time?" It was also said that it was decided, and the gift money was sent over there, but who knew that something had changed, and it was delayed until now, and no one could say for sure what would happen in the future. ”

I smiled and said, "Qing'er, it's true to mention it again this time." ”

Qing'er held my hand and paused, and I looked at her: "It's only a matter of time before Miss Wang gets married, are you afraid that I won't know this?" ”

Qing'er didn't speak.

I got up from the bed: "Steward Zhou is right, how can I be so carried away so here, isn't this a carnival singing on the lives of more than 20 people in my Lu family?" ”

Qing'er followed and said: "Miss, you must not think like this, you know what Mr. is doing to you, don't listen to anyone, and Mr. has a gap." ”

I looked at Qing'er and said, "It's not the first time I've heard this, I would have been born a long time ago, so why wait until now, but the fact that he wants to marry Wang Zhizhi is true, and I really don't have any reason to continue to stay here." ”

Qing'er still wanted to say something, but I had already interrupted her one step ahead of her and said, "No need to say more, you guys go down, I want to be quiet." ”

Qing'er wanted to say something, but Biyu pulled her from behind, shook her head slightly, and motioned for her not to say more.

Qing'er could only do this, and did not say any more.

After Mu Jing came to my room late in the evening, he didn't mention it to me, he laughed with me as usual, and I didn't show the slightest abnormality, so it passed another night, until the next morning.

I was still lying on the bed, Mu Jingchi had already gotten up, Biyu and Qing'er were waiting for him to get dressed, and I heard Steward Zhou say outside: "Sir, the Wang family called and asked, how is the day set for the eighth." ”

At that time, the room was quiet, only when wearing clothes, the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, Mu Jingchi did not answer immediately, but said two words after a while: "Whatever." ”

Then Steward Zhou retreated from the room, and after Qing'er and Biyu got dressed for Mu Jingchi, they stepped aside.

Mu Jingchi was going to go straight out, but he didn't know why, he took two steps. He stopped again, took a few steps back, opened the tent and looked at me who was still asleep on the bed.

He stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt twice for me, and gently put my hand on the outside, he sat on the edge of my bed and looked at me for a long time, and suddenly a kiss fell on my eyebrows, he did not stay any longer, got up and left from the bedside, and then Jasper came over, and gently put down the tent again, and the room was quiet.

I woke up at seven o'clock, Qing'er and Biyu were still a little surprised, and when they saw that I got up so early, they came to me with toiletries and asked, "Miss, won't you sleep for a while?" ”

I ignored Qing'er, just sat up, grabbed the water she handed over, took it in my mouth and grunted it twice, then spit it in the spittoon, wiped my face with a towel casually, and asked Qing'er, "What are you eating this morning?" ”

When Qing'er saw me and asked what to eat, she said happily: "Your favorite porridge, seafood porridge, with scallops and scallops and crabs, is thick and fragrant." ”

Jasper waited for me to get dressed, I touched my stomach and said, "Don't say it, I'm a little hungry." ”

After getting dressed, I went straight downstairs to the restaurant.

Mu Jingchi was still reading the newspaper in the restaurant and didn't go to the study, and when he saw that I came down so early today, he smiled and said, "What kind of wind is blowing today, and I got up so early." ”

I sat down in front of him and said, "I've slept too much these days, so I sleep so much that my whole body hurts." ”

When he saw that I was full of energy, he smiled and handed me the hot milk and said, "Go out and relax." ”

I said, "How's the marriage going on?" ”

Mu Jingchi gave me the hand that handed me milk, I behaved normally, and after taking it, I took a sip with a smile and said, "Pure milk doesn't seem to be so disgusting." Then I stopped looking at Mu Jingchi, and took my chopsticks to the plate to pick my favorite food.

Mu Jingchi sat there for a long time without moving, I didn't know what I was thinking, I ate with relish, stuffed a mouthful and said: "It's good, Miss Wang has a gentle temperament, I like her too, the two of you are the same age, and the most important thing is that she has loved you for so long, in short, it is much better than Wang Shuyi, the day you brought her in, where are you going to set the new house?" Your room is too remote, and it's not as big as mine, there is definitely not enough space for two people, why don't you remodel mine? ”

Just as I was talking about it.

Mu Jingchi had already stopped all the movements in his hands, he looked at me, and called in a low voice: "Lu Qingye." ”

I looked at him.

No one spoke in the restaurant for a while, and when I was about to lower my head and continue to eat the porridge in the bowl, Mu Jing said expressionlessly: "I don't like to hear you say this, there are people in these things, you just need to take care of yourself." ”

Then, he put a piece of crab meat in my bowl and whispered, "Eat it." ”

I stared at the piece of crab meat for a long time, and then asked again, "When will I be able to go?" ”

He asked without hurry: "Where to go." ”

I said, "Go back to Yuan's house." ”

Mu Jingchi raised his eyes to look at me and asked, "Do you want to go back to the Yuan family." ”

I said, "Or else?" How are you going to let me? Once Wang Zhizhi is brought in, what am I? Your sister-in-law? A sister-in-law who has already been married off by you will continue to live with you? ”

I said, "I've already decided, I'll leave tomorrow." ”

I felt that this meal had reached this point, I was already a little full, and I got up to leave, when Mu Jingchi said, "Stop." ”

I stopped.

After three seconds, he said, "I'll ask the driver to take you there tomorrow." ”

Unexpectedly, I stood firm against the corner of the table, then looked up at the lamp overhead, only to feel that the light was dazzling, and some liquid slipped from the corner of my eye.

He said softly: "In the Yuan family in the future, don't be as arrogant as before, I can protect you in many things, but in many things, I can't always be by your side, I can't protect you, last time was a lesson." ”

He picked up the chopsticks on the table again and said, "People must always learn to grow up, and in the future, I hope that even if I am no longer by your side, you can take care of yourself." ”

After I clenched and released my hand from the corner of the table, I smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Then I stopped looking at him and walked straight out of the restaurant.

When I got back to my room, Qing'er and Biyu all looked at me, and for a long time, I told them, "Take all my things." ”

Qing'er and Biyu didn't understand, looked at me and asked, "Miss, what did you say?" ”

Again, I said, "You don't need too much, just bring my usual ones." ”

Biyu walked over, took my hand and asked, "Miss." What's wrong with you? Pack up your things well. ”

I no longer answered her, but shook off Jasper's hand, and walked towards the bathroom, I turned on the faucet, and the water flowed into a pool, I looked at myself in the mirror, my fingers caressed the center of my eyebrows, for a long time, I snorted, sat on the bathtub, covered my lips and cried.

I don't know how long I've been crying, when Jasper knocked on the door outside, I immediately wiped the tears from my face, turned off the faucet, got up and walked to the bathroom door to open the door, Jasper asked, "Do you want to take away the jewelry that Miss put here?" ”

I said in a hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter if you want it or not. ”

Biyu saw that my eyes were red, and something seemed to be wrong, but she didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't poke it. He just nodded, and then said, "Then I'll go and put it away for you." ”

In the evening, Mu Jing came in late, and all the things in my house had been put away and packed there, and I lay on the bed without moving.

Instead, Biyu and Qing'er called in unison: "Sir." ”

Mu Jingchi snorted, and then said to them, "You guys go down." ”

Biyu and Qing'er said, "Yes." He retreated, followed by the sound of the door closing.

The room was quiet for a while, Mu Jingchi walked towards my bedside, his dark shadow pressed on me for a few seconds, and after a few seconds, he sat on the edge of my bed, put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Still breathing?" ”

I didn't speak, just closed my eyes.

He ran his hand through my ear and said, "What I hate most is that you talk to me, that expression seems to be indifferent, as if you are never afraid of me being sad, every time, I think to myself, this little wolf cub has poked me in the heart with a knife again." All of a sudden, still smiling, that innocent and harmless appearance makes people can't find her fault, what do you say I can do, I am still naΓ―ve to bet on you to be a child. ”

He kissed me on the ear and said, "Don't be angry, okay?" I'll ask Qing'er and Jasper to put all your things back. ”

When his fingers slid to my waist, I said, "I'm not angry, I'll go back to Yuan's house tomorrow." ”

Mu Jing was late.

I turned over, faced him and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, it's true, it's not a joke, I've already called the Yuan family." I thought about it, smiled and asked, "You won't take these past few days seriously, will you?" ”

He looked down at me, as if he wanted to look into the deepest part of my eyes, but I was still laughing, innocent and harmless, for a long time, he closed his eyes, as if to calm his emotions, for a long time, he let go of me, got up from the side of the bed without saying a word, and walked out of the door, but when he was about to step out of the door, he stopped, stood there silently and said, "I was wrong, I am indeed too used to you, and I am used to you like this." ”

Biyu stood in the doorway, bowed, and called, "Sir." Mu Jingchi didn't pay attention to it, and soon his figure disappeared at the door.

The next morning, the Yuan family's car was waiting at the door early in the morning, Biyu and Qing'er got all my luggage into the car, and when everything was loaded, I was about to get in the car, Qing'er suddenly pulled me and said, "Miss, should we say hello to Mr. before leaving?" ”

He was still angry with me about what happened last night, and he hadn't come out yet, and I didn't want to meet him, but said to Qing'er: "There's no need, let's go." ”

Qing'er still wanted to say something, but I didn't pay attention to her anymore, and got in the car first, Qing'er and Biyu couldn't do it, so they could only follow me into the car.

The driver of the Yuan family sat in front and asked me if I had anything else to take, and I said, "No." Then he said with a blank face: "Drive." ”

The driver didn't ask any more, started the car, and drove the car away from the gate of Mu's house.

It was still raining on this day, since I returned to Mu's house, the whole Jinling City was rainy and rainy, and when the car drove out of the gate in the rain, I looked up at the rearview mirror of the car and saw Mu Jingchi standing on the balcony watching our car go away.

We always saw each other off in such a way that I thought it was just a dream for a few days, and when I woke up, everything had to go back to its place.

After the car arrived at Yuan's house. This time, there are no more people like last time to greet me, although the door of Yuan's house is full of soldiers, but I don't see anyone in the Yuan family, I didn't pay attention to it, just let Qing'er and Biyu move all my things in, Qing'er and Biyu nodded, and quickly moved my things in, the house still hasn't changed, Yuan Lin hasn't moved in, it's no different from when I left.

After Qing'er and Biyu and I arranged our things, a maid came in from outside the house, and the maid brought some charcoal for me to keep warm, but the maid didn't say a word, and didn't seem to dare to talk to me, and left quickly.

The charcoal fire sent by the maid was not good, and as soon as it was lit, it was smoky, and Qing'er and I were all choked and speechless.

Qing'er fanned for a long time, and saw that the smoke was getting bigger and bigger. I put down what I was doing and got up and wanted to leave, but I immediately grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Qing'er said: "This is too deceitful, this kind of carbon is also rushed to us, I will ask them what the Yuan family means now." ”

I said, "No, it's not like it was before, we can bear it, sit down." ”

Qing'er didn't expect me to change sex, so she frowned and said, "Miss." ”

Again, I said, "Sit down." ”

She had no choice but to sit down.

Biyu took the fan and said, "Sister Qing'er, what Miss said now is right, let's live our own lives in this world." ”

Qing'er could only nod and say, "Then let's do it for the time being, Miss is really, why do you just say go and get angry with Mr. again?" ”

I looked at the pot of carbon in front of me that was gradually reddening and said, "What am I betting with him, isn't he going to marry those two girls?" What kind of system did I stay there for? ”

Qing'er said, "But Missβ€”"

I interrupted her and said, "Okay, don't say too much, I don't want to hear it." ”

Qing'er skimmed away, and could only continue to burn charcoal aggrievedly.

After all, there is still no comparison with the Mu family, even if it burns carbon, but the house is still cold, I stomped on the spot for more than ten minutes, some couldn't bear it, so I climbed into bed early, slept for about ten minutes, Qing'er and Biyu stood beside my bed for a while, sighed, and could only pull the quilt on for me again, and then extinguished the light in the room.

In the darkness of the room, I listened to the crackling sound of the basin of carbon in front of the window, and I slowly felt something from my body, it was a piece of jade, which I had taken away several times, and finally came to the piece of jade in my hand.

I held the jade in the dark night sky, the piece of jade exuded a faint fluorescence in the dark night, and there was a word engraved on the inside of the jade, which was a clear character.

I stroked my fingers around the piece of jade, then pillowed him on his cheek and fell asleep in a daze.

I woke up the next morning. I heard Qing'er swearing outside again, I sat up from the bed, Qing'er and Biyu had already pushed the door and walked in, I asked them, "What's wrong?" ”

Qing'er was angry, holding a pot of rice in her hand and said: "The Yuan family's kitchen said that it didn't cook for us, gave us two or two rice, and said that we should make it ourselves, the young grandmother of the Yuan family even has to cook by herself, and the Yuan family is really deceitful now." ”

Biyu said: "Why don't you see the second master?" ”

Qing'er also looked at me, I sat up from the bed and said, "I only called the housekeeper of the Yuan family to send a car to pick me up, Yuan Lin was not at the Yuan family at the time, so I guess I don't know." ”

When Biyu heard this, she said: "Then I'll go to find the second master, the last time I was in the palace, the second master also met with the young lady, and I still wanted to say hello to the young lady at that time, and I will definitely not let the mother-in-law in this mansion treat us like this." ”

But when Jasper was about to turn around, I stopped her, and Jasper stopped to look at me, thinking that I had some other orders, and I said, "Don't bother him, let's just fire, anyway, the cook in Yuan's mansion is not to my liking." ”

Biyu and Qing'er didn't expect me to change sex and stop making trouble, I didn't bother to pay attention to their surprise, walked over and took the rice in Qing'er's hand and said, "I'll cook it, what a big deal it is, what's so difficult." ”

I ignored them and went to the kitchen.

About two hours later, I ran out of the kitchen coughing, thick black smoke was coming out, Qing'er saw the situation inside, thought it was on fire inside, and didn't bother to talk to me, immediately rushed in, arrived inside, she quickly ran out again, coughed even more seriously than me and said, "Miss! The pot is on fire! ”

I said, "How can the pot catch fire?" Then I started coughing hard again.

At this time, Biyu quickly rushed in with a basin of water, and went down to a basin of water in the pot that was still on fire, and the whole world was quiet in an instant, the fire in the pot was extinguished, I thought of something, and immediately rushed over and shoveled it into the pot with a spoon.

Biyu and Qing'er looked at each other.

I threw the spatula into the pot and said, "Why is it so hard to make porridge?" ”

Biyu and Qing'er comforted me and said, "Oh, Miss, it's like this for the first time when you cook." Qing'er immediately glanced at Biyu and said, "The first time Biyu cooked, she almost burned the kitchen." ”

Biyu pointed to what she was about to say, but when the words came to her lips, she could only nod reluctantly, and said against her will: "Miss, yes, I almost burned the house." ”

I asked, "Really?" ”

Qing'er was afraid of hitting my self-confidence and said, "Of course it's true, the second time will be fine, don't worry." ”

I looked inside the pot and asked, "What about those?" ”

I saw that there was still some rice left in the basin. rushed over and just wanted to pick up the redo, but who knew that Qing'er immediately rushed over and took my hand and cried with a sad face: "Miss, that's all we have left today, I'll come." ”

Biyu looked at the still smoking pot, nodded with a frightened face, and said, "Yes, miss, let's do it." ”

Seeing them say this, I couldn't continue, so I could only nod and say, "Okay, you do." I was still a little uneasy and said, "However, you have to do a good job, and you can't be worse than me." ”

Qing'er and Jasper nodded again, and they kicked me out of the kitchen.

I had nothing to do, so I found my jewelry box, took out all the things that Mu Jingchi gave me and ordered them, and found that there were a lot of things in it, and after Qing'er and Biyu cooked the meal, I handed the jewelry box to them and said, "Take it, from today on, don't go to the Yuan family to ask for anything." Neither does charcoal. ”

Qing'er didn't know why I was doing this, but she knew that these things were given to me by Mu Jingchi, so she asked with some hesitation: "Miss, let's not want it?" These things were given to you by the gentleman, and that's ......"

I said, "What's not to do?" He gave it to me, and it was mine. ”

Qing'er saw that I was so persistent, and there was no way, so I could only take the jewelry box, after we finished breakfast, Qing'er went to the city as a thing, I took Jasper to go around the yard, this turn I don't know why I went to the East Garden, at a glance, I saw Yuan Lin was walking around in the garden, the woman seemed to be a little uncomfortable, walking extremely slowly, Yuan Lin was waiting carefully.

And when Yuan Lin helped the woman to turn around, the four of us looked at each other, looking at each other, and the woman Yuan Lin was holding in her hand was Lin Wanwan, the Lin Wanwan who framed me in the teahouse.

Yuan Lin didn't expect me to come back, he was a little surprised, just when he wanted to walk over to me and say something, Lin Wanwan beside him suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, and her body fell down a little unsteadily.

Lin Wanwan's delicate body was hugged into his arms, and the two looked at each other, and something was going back and forth between his eyebrows.

As soon as Biyu wanted to speak, I pulled Biyu and turned around, and after returning to the house, Jasper was so angry that she couldn't help it even more than me, and even forgot the identity between us to question me: "Miss, why didn't you let me talk just now?!" Did you see that? That woman is seducing the second master! ”

I sneered and said, "What is there to talk about?" She seduces if she wants to. ”

I plucked a grape from the table, threw it in my mouth and warned Jasper, "If I see such a scene again, shut up for me, and if you dare to say a word, I will cut your tongue." ”

Jasper looked at me with grievances. I fell on the bed and turned over comfortably and said, "Fuck it, if he wants to marry a concubine, or find a room, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu." ”

Jasper said, "Miss! No swearing! ”

I said, "I'm going to say it." ”

I covered my body with the quilt, sighed comfortably again and asked, "Qing'er, what time is it today?" ”

Qing'er fanned the charcoal fire and said, "It's the sixth." ”

Hearing this, I hummed and buried my face in the quilt, feeling some hot liquid being absorbed by the quilt.

The next morning, Yuan Lin came to my room, I was sitting in front of the vanity mirror combing my hair, when I saw Yuan Lin appear in the mirror, my hand to comb my hair stopped.

Yuan Lin whispered behind me: "Qingye." ”

I continued to comb my hair and said with a smile: "How did the second master have time to come to my room today." ”

Yuan Lin said: "I didn't know you were back. ”

I said, "So what. ”

He added, "Daddy is not at home." ”

I said, "I know." ”

There was silence in the house for a while, Yuan Lin suddenly noticed the charcoal fire in my house with thick black smoke, his face suddenly changed, Qing'er was afraid of choking him, picked up the charcoal brazier on the ground and got up to leave, Yuan Lin stopped her. When he opened his mouth, he asked, "How did you get some charcoal fires like this?" ”

Qing'er said to Yuan Lin: "Back to the second master, this is given to us by the Yuan family's treasury, saying that there is nothing good for the Yuan family this year." ”

Yuan Lin frowned and asked, "There is such a thing?" ”

He called a soldier in at the door, and when he pointed to the pot of coals in the ground, he said, "Go, go to the storehouse and ask what is the matter, how this thing has been delivered here." ”

When the soldier said something, he immediately ran out, and finally caught an old mother, who was Yuan Lin's wet nurse in the past, who had been serving Wang Heqing, and now after Wang Heqing was retired by Yuan Chengjun, he went out of the house, and this old mother went to the warehouse to do things.

It was probably because I got Wang Heqing away and held a grudge against me, so she stumbled on me as soon as I came to the house.

Yuan Lin didn't expect that it was his wet nurse who was making trouble, he didn't beat or scold, he could only say in a low voice: "Mother Zhang, why are you so confused, you actually abuse your private power at home to do something like this." ”

But the old mother was not afraid at all. Instead, he said to Yuan Lin: "Second master, I am not as righteous as you, I have followed my wife for so many years, she said that whoever is a good person is a good person, and whoever is a bad person is a bad person." ”

The old woman scolded Yuan Lin in a roundabout way, Yuan Lin didn't speak when he heard it, probably because he didn't want to mention the previous incident again, so he asked the soldier to send the old mother out, and asked the people on the other side of the warehouse to make some charcoal again, and then the cold room gradually warmed up.

Yuan Lin looked at me again and said, "Qingye, what is that matter...... I'm sorry. ”

I turned to him and asked, "What's so sorry, didn't everyone get punished for this?" ”

I took the tea handed over by Qing'er, took a sip and asked, "How is Miss Wanwan?" ”

When Yuan Lin saw me mention Wanwan, her face was a little unnatural and said, "Now she is much better." ”

I said, "That's good, it's fine." ”

When it came to this matter, Yuan Lin didn't ask very clearly: "Why did you push Wan Wan in the first place?" Did Wanwan have a holiday with you? ”

Hearing him bring up the topic, I stood up and looked at him with a smile: "Holiday? Doesn't the second master know? The person who had a holiday with her wasn't me, it was her, and I pushed her? I sneered and said, "Which eye did the second master see me pushing her?" Why should I push her? Because she is the second master's old lover? ”

I laughed a little sarcastically and said: "At the beginning, I wasn't even jealous of letting the second master take her as a concubine, not to mention the fact that you are old lovers, you should go and ask Wan Wan why she did this, to frame me like this, just because I sat in her place?" But without my position, can it be her turn? ”

Yuan Lin retorted fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense here! I know very well what kind of person Wan Wan is, although she is a fireworks woman, she is simple and kind by nature, and she is definitely not what you said, when I entered the tea house, I obviously saw you with my own eyesβ€”β€”"

I said, "If you say it's me, it's me." ”

I sighed, and suddenly I didn't want to argue anymore, things have passed for so long, and it seems that there is no point in dividing who is right and wrong, and obviously, Lin Wanwan is a white lotus-like existence in Yuan Lin's eyes, what about me? I'm just a pile of sludge at the feet of the White Lotus, no matter how I explain it, no matter how much I struggle, I will only struggle myself more and more black, why bother.

Yuan Lin realized that what he said just now was too absolute, and his tone was a little excited, and when he wanted to say something, I had already turned around and said to him: "Second master, please go back, we are still the same as before, you live my life, I live mine, whether you want to marry Wanwan girl, or whatever, I won't mind, second master is only good if I don't exist." ”

Yuan Lin didn't expect me to say such a thing, his eyes fell on me for a long time, and it took a long time for a sentence to fall out of his mouth: "It turns out, it turns out that that meeting turned out to be my wishful thinking, and you are unexpectedly, so coldly......"

Before I could understand what he meant, he woke up from a dream. He smiled bitterly and said, "In that case, you can do whatever you want, it doesn't matter." ”

He turned around and walked towards the door, his steps still staggering, looking a little embarrassed, and his whole body was covered with an indescribable disappointment.

I was confused, and even Qing'er couldn't help asking, "Second Master, what's wrong?" ”

I said, "He's nervous." ”

Biyu asked again: "Miss and Second Master have met before?" ”

I said, "Yes, the first time I saw it was in the firewood room." ”

But I thought about it again, and I always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Yuan Lin's words, but it seemed like we had met earlier.

But except for that time in the firewood room, I have no impression of him at all.
