It's three watches at night, and the night market in Tokyo has quietly retreated, leaving confetti all over the floor.

But Mo Chenglin has not returned for a long time, and no one in the Mo family can sleep peacefully. The cuckoo sat on the stone steps in front of the gate of the Ming Building, pouting, holding his cheeks with both hands, and looking left and right, but seeing the fog and leaves, a good street was empty and silent.

She sat for a long time and shivered, and suddenly, her shoulders sank, and it turned out to be a fox fur coat draped over herself.

Du Juan was taken aback, hurriedly stood up, and said to Mo Yunxiao, who came to his side, "Big girl, why are you here?" It's cold outside, so you might as well go inside. ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid it's colder in the house than here." ”

The cuckoo didn't understand what it meant, so he said, "It can be called a colorful stove." ”

Mo Yunxiao shook her head and said with a smile: "No need, that Nizi can't stay up all night, and she climbs on the table to sleep, so it's better not to disturb." ”

The cuckoo was a little moved, and sighed: "Big girl, you are really more and more kind. ......She hurriedly took off her fox fur coat and said, "It's better for the big girl to wear it, your body is golden, and if you catch the cold, it will be a small sin." ”

Mo Yunxiao pushed her hand and said, "You wear it, you have to take care of it in the store at home." This Mo family can do without me Mo Yunxiao, but it can't do without you cuckoo. ”

The cuckoo's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "The eldest girl is serious. How can the cuckoo be deed, when Da Lang is not there, you are the backbone of this family. Although something has happened these days, the little one knows that one day, Da Lang will still entrust the tea building to the big girl. ”

Mo Yunxiao shook her head with a smile and didn't answer, just sat down lightly on the stone steps. The cuckoo sat down with her, patiently listening.

"I never wanted to be in business." Mo Yunxiao looked at the moon in the sky and said, "Maybe you don't know, I have only one wish since I was a child, which is to hold my own art exhibition. ”

"Art exhibition?" The cuckoo was a little puzzled and couldn't help frowning.

"That's right, the exhibition." Mo Yunxiao showed a happy smile: "Our Chinese literati painting has a long history, since Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty, poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing have been integrated, which is a unique phenomenon in China. An excellent painter should also write a good stroke and fill in a good word. In the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo, Mi Fu, and the merry son Song Huizong, have greatly promoted the development of literati painting, to the Yuan Dynasty, more Huang Gongwang, Zhao Mengfu headed by the Yuan four, the literati painting to a new height, and in the Ming Dynasty, literati painting is more prosperous, with Dong Qichang, Tang Yin, Shi Tao ......"

Speaking of this, Mo Yunxiao suddenly woke up from her intoxicated fantasies, glanced at the dazed cuckoo beside her, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "What I said, are you unheard of?" ”

Du Juan nodded as if he didn't understand, and said: "Bachelor Su knows the little one, and the little one has also read "All Tang Poems" and knows Wang Wei, but I don't know who Huang Gongwang and Dong Qichang are. ”

Mo Yunxiao said with a smile: "In short, these people are the seniors I admire very much. If one day, my paintings can be as famous as theirs, and it will be in vain. ”

Du Juan was stunned for a moment and asked, "But why have you never heard of you mention this, girl?" ”

"It's not because of Minglou." Mo Yunxiao patted her knees and stood up. She paced back and forth and said, "Every time my father goes on a business trip, he asks me to manage the tea building, which is really exhausting." Now that my father has taken back my wealth, I am a little sad, but on second thought, it is also good that I can finally pick up the brush and study the painting with my heart. ”

The cuckoo also stood up and clapped his hands: "In this case, my Da Song has another talented woman." Yikes! Didn't you say that Chinese painting is a combination of poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing? When you have drawn, you can ask Mrs. Wei to fill in the words. She is the leading female lyricist in our Great Song Dynasty. Wouldn't it be wonderful that her words, your paintings, come together! ”

"yes, that's great." Mo Yunxiao also shouted happily. But when she thought about it again, she thought that she had a quarrel with this girlfriend the day before, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Oh no! Cuckoo Girl! Oh no! A man came running in a hurry. Du Juan and Mo Yunxiao's hearts were both tight, and they all thought that Mo Chenglin had not returned for a long time, and I was afraid that it would be more than lucky.

The family ran over, first saluted Mo Yunxiao, and then said to Du Juan: "Du Juan girl, the little Ben is waiting for the big man to come back at the mouth of the alley." But who knows, in the future, Da Lang will come with a team of officers and soldiers. ”

"Officers and soldiers? Where did Ben come from? The cuckoo asked hurriedly.

Jia Ding said: "It seems to be coming to our Ming Building." ”

"Huh?" Du Juan was frightened and hurriedly turned his head to look at Mo Yunxiao.

Mo Yunxiao listened attentively, and sure enough, he heard the faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which was extremely similar to the day Bao Cheng was killed. She didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly ordered the cuckoo and the family: "Go home quickly, tell everyone to go back to their rooms, and don't come out no matter what." The same goes for the two of you. ”

"Girl!" The cuckoo grabbed Mo Yunxiao's sleeve, and suddenly burst into tears, crying: "But what should you do, girl? ”

Mo Yunxiao gently grabbed her hand, smiled, and said, "You listen to me and settle down at home." I have my own way of dealing with them. Hearing this, the cuckoo felt a little calmer, and then entered the building with the family.

As soon as they walked a short time, the sound of the horse's hooves became clearer and clearer. Mo Yunxiao turned around, put her hands behind her back, and quietly looked at the visitor. I saw that two teams of cavalry marched in unison from the left and right sides, meeting and stopping in front of the gate of the Ming Tower. Mo Yunxiao raised his eyes and saw that there were about five or six hundred people. Their bright armor made them look like the forbidden troops of Tokyo, and the torches raised high reflected half of the sky as if it were day.

Mo Yunxiao stood on the stone steps, and her heart was quite flustered. But she pulled herself together and just watched quietly, silently.

The leader smiled and urged him to step forward. The man had two whiskers and kept stroking his chin with his hands. He is the enemy and the enemy.

Mo Yunxiao raised her head and said in a cold tone: "Qiu Yuhou, the stargazing tower will only be farewell for a few days, I didn't expect you to come to see me so soon." ”

Qiu Feng sneered and said, "Yes, farewell to the stargazing tower, your big girl makes me miss me so hard, so I came to look for you today." ”

He was serious. Since he saw Mo Yunxiao on the stargazing tower outside Chu Yuan that day, Qiu Feng couldn't sleep and couldn't eat well, thinking about how to get this woman to the house every day, but he also thought that this woman had the nickname of "Female Yama", and he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with. didn't expect to be lucky today, and he could take advantage of Mo Chenglin's case to rob him. At this moment, he decided that Mo Yunxiao was already his caged bird, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "It's rare to be worried." If you miss me, you can come to the tea house at any time to have a cup of tea, and the little sister will naturally come out to meet. But isn't it too bad for you to scare my younger siblings with such an open fire? ”

Qiu Feng smiled coldly and said, "Miss Mo, don't pretend to be confused. Your son has been put in prison. As a soldier of the Western Army, he actually ran away, and according to the law of my Great Song Dynasty, he should be sentenced to exile. This official thought that he had a relationship with you, and he didn't want to force him, but you shouldn't think too highly of yourself and don't take us seriously. ”

Mo Yunxiao frowned, secretly screaming that it was not good. Her father was a deserter from the Western Army, she had already guessed it. It's just that why is it so coincidental that my father went out of the city today, but he crashed into the hands of this Qiu Feng? Don't...... Is that Yuan Lu?!

Mo Yunxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she woke up suddenly: "Oops, how did I forget." This Yuan Lu is Liu Dadao's subordinate and a member of the beggar gang. I saw it clearly at Baocheng's house that day, why didn't I remember it? But why did he frame my family? ”

Mo Yunxiao's thoughts were chaotic, and she couldn't figure out a clue for a while. Qiu Feng saw that she didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was scared, so he laughed and said: "Don't panic, Miss Mo, since I am here to run an errand, I will not let the girl suffer." As long as the girl judges the situation, then your father's case can be turned into a big one, and a hundred lashes will be enough. ”

Mo Yunxiao asked anxiously, "What did you do to my father?" ”

"Don't worry, Master Sheng will only be promoted to the court tomorrow to try the case, and today he will only be detained by Ling Zun, and it will not be difficult for him." Qiu Feng changed his words and said: "But the girl should also know the current affairs, and don't go against the government." Otherwise, you won't have any good fruit to eat. ”

"Ahh Did Daddy get caught? I want Daddy! Mo Yunxiang's voice suddenly came from inside the gate.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and Mo Yunxiang, green jade and cuckoo rushed out together. Green Jade and Cuckoo naturally had to pull Mo Yunxiang hard, but she came up with all her strength, how could the two weak women pull it.

Mo Yunxiang cried and shouted: "Where is my father? Where's my daddy? ”

When all the soldiers looked at it, they couldn't help but be happy. It turned out that although this Mo Yunxiang was not as beautiful as her brother, she could also be called a flower and a moon. Especially her crying, tears flowing down her white jade-like cheeks, which was even more moving.

Qiu Feng was originally a prodigal, but when he saw Mo Yunxiang, he was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, this Mo Lao'er has a good daughter." Let's go, let's take it back first. ”

Mo Yunxiao was in a hurry, slapped Mo Yunxiang in the face heavily, and shouted: "What's your business here, get back for me!" ”

Mo Yunxiang covered his cheeks on the hot ground, and took a look at the soldiers in front of him, all of whom looked like wolves and tigers, so he felt scared. She was about to go back, but the soldiers rushed up. Mo Yunxiao's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Who dares to come up!" With that, she waved her fists and feet, and several soldiers who rushed ahead were knocked down the stone steps by her, and screamed "oops, oops".

Qiu Feng took a look at it and said angrily: "Mo Yunxiao! Do you know that resisting arrest is a crime to destroy the door! ”

"It's your subordinates who are presumptuous, and I'm just in charge of it." Mo Yunxiao said.

"Humph!" Qiu Feng glanced at it coldly, although he was angry in his heart, he was afraid that if he was too frivolous, there would be trouble in the future, so he said to the soldiers behind him: "We are soldiers, not thieves, don't let loose!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers answered.

So everyone dismounted and walked into the gate of the tea building under the leadership of Qiu Feng. Mo Yunxiao took Mo Yunxiang and Rhododendron Green Jade to the side. Mo Yunxiang and Du Juan were nervous, and the two of them held Mo Yunxiao's two arms tightly with their four hands, watching the officers and soldiers enter the tea building.
