CHAPTER XXXVI

"Chundan, for a person like me, it's too extravagant to talk about love. Pingshui met, and after that, it was just a matter of business, so what affection did it come from. ”

Mo Shuoyue's eyes fell on the palace lamp next to him, in the quiet night, the palace lamp cast a slight swaying light, Chundan only felt that at this moment, the surroundings seemed to become blurred.

A long wind came from nowhere, blowing the bamboo leaves one after another, and the frightened birds chirped and scattered in all directions.

Mo Shuoyue caught the loose white hairpin, and the faint white brilliance of the mutton fat jade flowed under the moonlight, casting a soft light between her eyes.

"Chundan, you have always understood me. In fact, over the years, even if I don't say it, you know that that kind of thing is as piercing my heart as a thousand arrows through my heart. And the result I want is that I can become insensitive to that kind of thing. As for who it is, I don't really care. It's not him, it can be someone else. ”

"But I looked at Prince Gongjing to you, and it seemed that ......"

As if to stop this topic, Mo Shuoyue cut off in a warm voice and said, "I haven't asked yet, how did you suddenly go to Beijing, and you didn't mention this matter in the letter more than a month ago." What happened to you in Lishui County? ”

Chundan shook his head and sighed, "I'm fine in Lishui County, nothing happens." It was the time of redemption that there was a big battle. ”

"Redemption?" Mo Shuoyue was surprised, "Chunxiao Courtyard is finally willing to let your cash cow go?" ”

"Hmph, how is that possible!" Chundan was a little indignant, "I have already taken out eighty percent of my savings to redeem myself, but the old bustard disagrees." In the end, fortunately, the people in the county government were alarmed, and Cen Zhutou was good at talking and persuaded the new county order to speak for me, and I redeemed myself and left Chunxiao Courtyard. It's just that almost all of my life savings have been put into it, and after I came to Beijing, I realized that the prices here are so high, and within a few days, the only savings I had were all gone. ”

"Since you chose to go to Beijing, why didn't you look for me? If I had known that you were coming, I would not have let you suffer such sin. ”

"Knowing that you are doing things for the government, how can I find you, isn't this just letting you be criticized by others? What a friend did! Sister, I also have a stunt, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat a bite of food in this huge capital? No, with my stunt, I got into the blue eyes of King Duanping, and now I can be regarded as having shelter. ”

Mo Shuoyue's heart warmed, and she said, "Since I befriended you at the beginning, how could I be afraid of criticism." Pretending to be a general acquaintance is just to avoid some dangers. ”

"What I do, it is inevitable to offend people, I have the county government cover, and those gangsters will be a little jealous. But you're different, Chunxiao Courtyard is mixed, and I'm worried that if those people know that we have a good relationship, you're in danger. Only this time ......"

Mo Shuoyue wanted to speak and stopped, Chundan looked at her with slightly lowered eyes, trying to hide the faint shyness in her eyes, and said with a smile: "This time, are you afraid that someone will find out your true body?" ”

Mo Shuoyue was silent for a long time before she said, "If he knows about this, it will be very troublesome." ”

"Shuoyue, you actually like him very much, right?"

Mo Shuoyue's heart froze, and she didn't answer, just looked at the mutton fat white jade hairpin in her hand, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, as if she was smiling, but there was a faint bitterness in her eyes, "I am not a suitable person for him, and I can't be a person who will accompany him for a lifetime." His...... My family has been choosing a concubine for him, and my identity is not worthy of him. ”

Therefore, what I have to do, revenge, need to be hurried.

Mo Shuoyue thought in her heart, let the only remaining reason drive away the inexplicable sadness.

"Shuoyue, I have been in Chunxiao Academy for many years, and I dare not say that I am outstanding in my ability to know people, but I can still see a few points whether a man has true feelings. King Gongjing is sincere to you. ”

"You know, it won't be long before he has his new princess. He never needed me in his life, perhaps. After all, I'm just a passerby in his life. ”

The corners of Mo Shuoyue's lips still maintained a slightly upward arc, and seeing that Chundan wanted to persuade her, she directly threw out a question, "You once said that Lishui County is a suitable place for recuperation, how could you suddenly redeem Shangjing this time?" ”

"You, in your own affairs, always hide and don't say anything. It's just that you have always had your own opinions, and I don't bother to persuade you. ”

Chundan sighed and said, "Do you remember that I mentioned to you that when I was a child, my family was poor, and I was forced to separate from my younger brother. Over the years, I have been asking people to find out about him. ”

Chundan has never been a person who asks the bottom of things, seeing that she didn't want to say more, she didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and said: "A month ago, a few people from Kyoto came to Chunxiao Courtyard, and when they saw the jade pendant I was carrying, they said that they were familiar, so they took out the piece on his body and compared it, and it was exactly the same!" This jade, my brother and I are one piece, the color is very similar, and it is difficult to find the same again. The man said that this was a few months ago, when a guest of the dart had mortgaged it to him. He also thought it was very strange, obviously the goods were in his hands, not only did the guests not need them to mortgage anything, but also bet a piece of jade pendant on him, saying that it was really strange that he would find them at that time. ”

"I, where can I take care of the strange, when I see the jade pendant, I think I saw my brother, under questioning, the man revealed that he met this guest in Kyoto, and I was in a hurry to redeem the person who went to Beijing to find someone. It's a pity that in this huge imperial capital, how can you find someone based on the name given by the dart master, alas, ......"

"After more than ten years, if it is really your younger brother, he has already become an adult, and his appearance has changed greatly. Even if you find it, with the jade pendant and name, you may not be able to confirm that the person must be your brother. And, as you say, it looks like you're deliberately luring you to him. I have a vague feeling that this incident is too coincidental or strange. ”

Chun Dan Xie sneered, "Actually, I'm not without this concern, after all, I've been looking for so many years, and I haven't heard from me." But suddenly there was news, and there was such an accurate token. However, when I thought about it, I was a fireworks woman at best, and now that I am getting older, I can count it as a broken flower and a willow, what can I let others draw? ”

"Beauty is in its prime, such as fragrant peach and apricot. Three hundred and sixty days a year, day and night, people are haunted by dreams, and they are all said to be broken flowers and willows. ”

Mo Shuoyue smiled lightly, the matter has come to this point, and she can only say: "Maybe after years of hard work, I will finally get something." Is there anything unique about your brother, I will entrust the prince tomorrow...... Duanping Wang Ye sent more people to find it. After all, you are in his house now, and he is more familiar with Kyoto than you, so it is much easier to find someone. ”

Chundan couldn't hold back a smile, and she didn't break it, how could she not hear who the "prince" in Mo Shuoyue's mouth was referring to, and said: "That's the best, in fact, my younger brother looks very similar to me when he is young, but it's just ......"
