As soon as Xiao Shi spoke, Mu Yunge immediately squatted back, and the suspicion in his heart was even heavier.

Recalling Xiao's words just now, her body trembled slightly, and she intuitively felt that Xiao was hiding a secret, and this secret was only afraid that she could not get rid of it. According to the decency of a large family, not only can the concubine not be buried in the ancestral grave when she dies, but she can not be sacrificed to the grave without nothing except for the parents and children, and the white flags on the grave when the sacrifice is swept also have regulations, only thirty-two hanging, sixty-four hanging, that is the privilege of the wife!

Why does a concubine, even if it is a grandfather's concubine, have so many privileges, and even need to work for her to sweep the grave and hang white flags?

Besides, when she asked Xiao just now, Xiao's answer was too perfunctory!

When he was in doubt, Xiao Shi choked for a moment, and suddenly whispered a poem: "Ten years of life and death, two vast, don't think about it, unforgettable, thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation." Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost. The night comes to the dream and suddenly returns to the hometown, Xiaoxuan window, is dressing, looking at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears, expected to be broken every year, bright moon night, short Matsuoka. ”

"It's been ten years, and in the blink of an eye, you've been gone for ten years." After Xiao finished chanting, he was silent for a moment before he said: "I'm getting older, and my face hasn't changed much, I think you still know each other." The one who just cleaned you is Yunge, she was more than three years old when you left, and she has grown into a big girl at this time, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, moral etiquette, although I dare not teach very well, I will never insult your lintel. Can you rest assured? ”

The breeze blew, the arborvitae was silent, and only Xiao's sobs were faint in the valley.

Yushan persuaded softly on the side: "Madam, don't be too sad, Miss has to worry about not saying anything if you hurt your body, and when you ask, it will be difficult to reply." ”

"I can't let her see it." Xiao nodded, stretched out his hand to stroke the handwriting on the tombstone, and tears rolled down like beads: "It's just ...... Just looking at the loess of the old man, it is inevitable that I will be sad! ”

"If Aunt Gong is knowledgeable, she would never want to see Madame so sad." Yushan continued to convince her: "What's more, Aunt Gong said back then that she was out of the Mu family, and since then, the old lady has the right to treat her as if she is just an ordinary guest, so there is no need to worry too much." ”

Xiao sighed faintly, finally listened to her persuasion, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

"I guess Miss is coming back soon." Yu Shan took out a powder puff from her sleeve pocket and gently smeared it on Xiao's face: "Madame's complexion is not good, fortunately, she expected this situation when she went out, so she put on some makeup first." Otherwise, when the young lady comes back later, she will be suspicious when she sees that her wife has suddenly painted makeup. ”

Xiao Shi couldn't help her toss, and smiled reluctantly: "You have always been careful, if you hadn't helped her for so many years, it would be really difficult for me to raise her......"

Yushan chuckled: "Madame is still polite to the slave maid, and she is too angry." ”

The two of them whispered softly, never expecting such words to fall into Mu Yunge's ears, how turbulent it was. The body seems to be swaying in the wind, rising and falling in the waves, and I can't catch a little duckweed in a daze. The body is hot on one side, cold on the other, alternating between hot and cold, the mind is becoming more and more groggy like a mess, something flashes to the mouth, and rolls strongly in the heart, but I can't grasp it, I can't say it!

Xiao Shi and Yushan didn't say anything else, they just stood in the wind, and after waiting for a long time, Yushan couldn't help but be suspicious, and looked around: "Why hasn't Miss come back yet, could it be that something happened?" ”

"Probably not, right?" Xiao Shi was surprised, "This place is remote, and it is a cemetery, and most people avoid it, so how can anyone come?" ”

Yushan shook her head and didn't speak, but her eyes were very cautious.

Mu Yunge knew that he couldn't stay any longer, if he stayed longer, when he went back and got the cloak, it would be difficult to explain when he went back.

Fortunately, Pei Xin was extremely alert, and when she saw Mu Yunge squatting motionless behind the grave, she seemed to be preoccupied, so she had already trotted back to the car and took Xiao and Mu Yunge's cloaks. Her eyes swept to the dark compartment of the carriage, her eyes flashed, and she quickly took out the food box in the dark compartment, divided two things that Xiao didn't like and put them in the dark compartment, and then returned quickly with her things.

When she came back, Mu Yunge was already standing on the fork and waiting, seeing the food box in her hand, she looked at her with deep meaning and implicit gratitude, and took the cloak from her hand: "Let's go, my mother is in a hurry." ”

The two hurriedly walked back, and before they reached the mountain pass, Xiao had already taken Yushan back, and when they saw that she was safe and sound, they finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you go for so long?" ”

"I took a cloak for my mother, and I was afraid that my mother would be hungry, so I specially picked up some snacks and brought them over." Mu Yunge stepped forward and tied the cloak to the Xiao family, before he said with a smile: "I thought that my mother would stay there for a while, and I also planned to bring the dim sum over and let Grandma Gong taste it." ”

As she spoke, she secretly observed Xiao's expression, and as soon as the three words of Grandma Gong, who seemed to be unintentional, Xiao's long eyelashes suddenly trembled, and the smile on the corner of her mouth stiffened for a moment.

Yushan hurriedly answered: "It's still the eldest lady who has filial piety." ”

These words seemed to mention something to Xiao's, Xiao raised his head, his eyes wrapped Mu Yunge lovingly, seeing a thin layer of wetness on her forehead, he hurriedly wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, and sneered: "I'm not very cold, look at your sweat, are you in too much of a hurry when you come back?" ”

"I'm afraid that my mother will freeze." Mu Yunge said briefly, reached out to take Xiao's arm, and smiled softly.

Yushan and Xiao Shi were relieved to be sure that she was not suspicious.

"Mother, my daughter hasn't kowtowed to Grandma Gong yet, but she wants to go back?" Mu Yunge just remembered it and asked for Xiao's opinion.

Xiao's eyes were dark, and he nodded: "It's okay, although it's a concubine, it's always grandma's." ”

She led Mu Yunge back, Yushan put the cushion on it, and Mu Yunge didn't wait for her to command, so she consciously buckled her head three times. Xiao stared at her graceful back, relieved in his heart, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his love was overflowing. It's just that his eyes fell on the stone tablet, and he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Mu Yunge didn't know what to do, kowtowed, and got up to help Xiao Shi go back.

She helped Xiao Shi to get into the carriage first, Yushan helped her, and was about to send her into the carriage, when Mu Yunge suddenly felt a strangeness, as if she had left a pair of eyes in the air, staring at herself heavily.

Her steps were slight, and she still sat down beside Xiao in a daze. Yushan, Pei Xin and others all got into the carriage, and soon Pei Ying and the others also came back with yellow dyed rice flowers, and the coachman left.

"It's nice to dye rice flowers at this time, where did you find it, is it from the mountains?" Mu Yunge stared at the flowers in Pei Ying's arms for a short while, nodded clearly, and then his eyes wandered around the mountains, with a soft smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's verdant here, I can't see anything, it's hard for your eyesight to be so good, you actually found so many from the mountains." ”

"Miss, there are a lot of them on the mountain, you can see the yellow and green leaves over there." Pei Xin thought she was curious, and hurriedly pointed to a hillside not far away and said with a smile.

Mu Yunge looked at her hand, and there was indeed a cluster of small yellow flowers swaying in the wind.

Merely......

Mu Yunge's eyes stared deeply at the corner of the clothes that were almost integrated with the dark green branches and leaves after dyeing the rice flowers, and smiled: "That's really the case!" ”

The carriage carried them and made a leisurely return to the city. At this time, it was almost sunset, and people were a lot lazy. Xiao Shi held it sleepily in a corner, leaning on the cushion as if she had fallen asleep, and Yushan gently beat her legs and feet for a while.

The car entered Jinling and walked to Sifang Street, Mu Yunge stopped the driver and whispered to Yushan: "I'll take Peixin to buy some things, you can take care of your mother." ”

"Yes." Yushan lowered her eyebrows and replied, "Miss, do you want to go back to the house for dinner?" ”

"Don't wait for me." After Mu Yunge finished smiling, he asked the coachman to go back to Mu's house first.

Yushan didn't suspect it, she couldn't move, and Xiao Shi would be sober when she moved, so she had to smile and nodded, which was a farewell. Mu Yunge stood aside with a smile, and the carriage passed by her, this smile brought out a bit of weirdness and suspicion for no reason. Yushan was taken aback, she wanted to see the bricks and couldn't see the partiality, and then she thought about it, Miss has always been like this, but because of the change in her mood game today, there are some plants and trees.

She secretly laughed at herself, and then whispered: "You don't have to go to the square street, just go to the Tibetan street, there are fewer people." ”

The coachman turned his horse's head and walked away.

Mu Yunge watched the carriage turn the horse's head and leave, the smile on the corner of his mouth fell, and he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly: "Peixin, you can go with me." ”

"Yes." Pei Xin has always been disrespectful to her orders.

A master and a servant walked slowly along the square street, her plain white figure was tall and graceful, and the black shadow pulled out a long, long shadow behind her, and her dragging steps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. At this time, the golden remnant sun was just right, and it was not long before it was like matching her state of mind, Xia Li covered up, and the west was collected, but a dark cloud floated from nowhere, which was shrouded in the sky over Jinling. The West is still gorgeous, black and red, and it is not quite frightening. The pedestrians on the street hurriedly went back to their homes, and the lively square street had not yet reached the end of the street, and there were few pedestrians.

Pei Xin's heart is straightforward, but she is not stupid, Miss is all strange, all because of the lonely grave of the palace surname, Xiaobu accompanied her, and asked cautiously: "Miss, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Thunder roared, Mu Yunge raised his head when he heard the sound, and Ne stared at the dark clouds above his head, and replied with an irrelevant sentence: "The thunderstorm is coming." ”

Pei Xin hurriedly nodded: "Yes, it's going to rain, Miss, let's go back quickly, I came out in a hurry this time, I didn't bring rain gear, and the slave was afraid of getting wet, Miss." ”

"What are you afraid of," Mu Yunge said in a low voice: "The front is Jinxiuzhuang, don't worry about no place to shelter from the rain." It's just that this thunderstorm won't stop for a while. ”

As if to confirm her words, as soon as she walked to Jinxiuzhuang, the dark clouds in the sky gave a shining, and the rolling thunder followed, and the pouring rain soon fell.

Shopkeeper Xu entertained him in every way, but Mu Yunge couldn't raise his interest to respond, so he told him to go and get busy, so he sat on the second floor, took a cup of new tea and tasted it carefully, and his eyes fell on the alley not far away.

Suddenly, Mu Yunge's pupils shrank, and thousands of thoughts converged, and a hint of an interesting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
