The scenery in the daylight is clear, and it is different from the night after all.

The sound of horses' hooves was silent for only half a day, and Mu Qing found that he had returned to the place where everyone had lit a bonfire that night and rested.

That night, Liu Weirui decided to go back to the city overnight, so that there was a busy but beautiful thing later, of course, this may only be the feelings of Mu Qing, a few people.

The official roads near the big city of the state capital are always much smoother and spacious, and when Mu Qing looked back, he found that the city he felt reluctant to give up when he parted was no longer able to see the outline of the halfway.

Obviously, the outline of the city can be distinguished in the night by the night and the skyrocketing fire, such as today, but because it is separated by the daylight, it is not clear to see.

On the contrary, the night veil on the leveled farmland around his body that had been opened was torn off, revealing his green and yellow shameful face.

Sun Ren ordered everyone to rest on the spot, and chose the place where he stayed that night, and before he could settle down, he smiled and came to Mu Qing, "Childe, at today's rate, it will only take you half a month at most to Vermilion Bird City." ”

Mu Qing nodded, "Brother Sun, do you have many long swords, give me one." ”

Sun Ren hurriedly took off the long sword he was going to take off and handed it over, and said embarrassedly: "My sword is just a piece I took in the ironsmith shop in Stone City, I don't know if the son can see it." ”

Mu Qingqu flicked the sword body with his fingers, found that there was no crack on the sword body, and said with a smile: "It's okay." How much is this sword, I'll give it to you. ”

Sun Ren hurriedly refused: "Childe looks down on me Sun Ren? This sword is also something that I am holding the sheep with my hand, isn't it not the sword that those swordsmen and others carry on their waists, and Childe can see it." ”

Mu Qingxing's eyes moved, and he nodded: "That's okay, when the time comes, I will pass on one or two sword moves to Xiao Wuling, and you won't suffer." ”

Xiao Wuling only felt joy descending from the sky with his head covered, and hurriedly thanked Mu Qing, but he did not forget to sincerely thank Sun Ren for his help.

Mu Qing got off the horse, and a soft voice came from a few steps behind him: "Is Brother Mu Qing a sword learner?

Mu Qing's eyes were slightly twitching, he glanced at the steps under the other party's feet, looked at the woman who came behind him unconsciously, shook his head and said: "Sister Xiuwei said that I laughed, I can only have some shows, I can't get on the table, and I can't kill the thief if it's soft." ”

Wang Xiuwei put her delicate little feet under her skirt, shook her head and said coquettishly: "It's just the flower frame that looks good, and the sword move of killing is used, what is so good about the blood." ”

Mu Qingjian raised his eyebrows, and he didn't want to fight with the woman in front of him who couldn't figure out where he was coming from, so he asked directly: "My sister is here on purpose, do you have anything to order?"

Wang Xiuwei's body was naturally slender, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "My mother has not returned to Vermilion Bird City for many years, and I want to ask my younger brother about the current situation in my hometown, does my younger brother have time?"

She glanced at the ordinary long sword in Mu Qing's hand, and said a little apologetically: "If it's time for Gongzi to practice swords on weekdays, then I won't bother at this time." ”

Mu Qing shook his head and said, "Then ask my sister to lead the way." ”

When he came to the front of the car, the lady who was not wearing a veil was half exposed by the window, Wang Yeqing smiled clearly, and invited: "There is a lot of space in the carriage, why don't you come in and talk." ”

Mu Qing glanced at Wang Yeqing beside him, frowned slightly, and said, "This carriage is also your private space, madam, it's not polite for the juniors to come in like this." ”

Wang Xiuwei said with a smile: "How can there be so many etiquette when going out, my brother doesn't need to talk about these rules,"

Mu Qing came in and sat down closest to the car door, took a cup of hot tea handed over by Wang Xiuwei, held it in the palm of his hand, looked at Wang Yeqing and asked, "I don't know what Madame wants to ask about those hometown things." Although the younger generation is going to Suzaku City, they are actually not familiar with Suzaku City. ”

Wang Yeqing nodded, secretly thinking that if you are a member of the Xishan Lin family, it is normal for you to be unfamiliar with Vermilion Bird City, and said with a smile: "I thought that Gongzi and I were from my hometown, but I just went to Vermilion Bird City to do business?"

Mu Qing nodded "um" unknowingly, but found that Wang Xiu on the side moved his eyebrows slightly but did not make a sound.

He knew that this was a temptation that had been delayed for a long time, and he sneered in his heart, so he made up his mind to turn against the guest, looked at Wang Yeqing and said: "The junior has been to Vermilion Bird City a few times, and he is still somewhat familiar with some places, I don't know what Madame wants to know?"

Wang Yeqing's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, as if reminiscing: "My late husband's family fell into the middle of the road, and before he died, he abandoned literature and business, I vaguely remember that he opened a shop on Qingyun Street in the west of the city to make a living, it seems to be to buy books in the current literature, and it seems to be to sell the four treasures of the study, and I can't remember it clearly......"

Speaking of this, Wang Yeqing sighed faintly, and even looked extremely sad, "At that time, my husband did not leave our widow and orphan girl, and I only knew happiness all day long, but now, I can't even remember my previous livelihood." ”

The clear and yellowish tea in his hand was still exuding fragrant heat, Mu Qing listened while rotating the rim of the cup with his hand, he didn't care much at first, but he felt in his heart that even if the other party made up this skill, it was a realm far beyond his reach, and when he thought about it seriously, he found a fatal key: Why Qingyun Street?

This mother and daughter are not simple, especially this woman, Mu Qing was vigilant when she first saw her yesterday, but she never expected that she would go back to Vermilion Bird City with her after only one day.

At first, he thought that the other party would be related to his next mission, and the conspiracy against Wanhua Valley, but after contact, he found that the other party did not seem to have any hostility, which made him less vigilant.

It's just that now that the other party recalls Qingyun Street in person, even if he is dull and numb, he should be vigilant.

Mu Qingjiang stopped rotating the palm teacup, and the roots of his scalp were a little stiff and cold, and he thought: "Liuye Bookstore is on Qingyun Street, will this also be a coincidence?" His voice had already come out flatly, "The place that Madame said has also been to Xia once, on this Qingyun Street, there are all kinds of books and calligraphy and paintings in the study room, and it is still relatively famous in Vermilion Bird City." ”

"Oh?" Wang Yeqing stared at Mu Qing's eyes, charming and bright, took the tea in front of him and drank it all before sighing: "Then please tell me what this place looks like now?"

Mu Qing recalled the memory of his first arrival, and responded with a few words at random, but Wang Yeqing seemed satisfied when he heard it, and he pretended to ask casually: "I don't know if Madame still remembers that there is a bookstore on Qingyun Street?"

Wang Yeqing sighed regretfully, shook his head and said: "The concubine body listened to what Gongzi saw, it was like what I saw myself, the street may still be that street, but I am afraid that the new person has already replaced the old person, what is the name of the bookstore that Gongzi said, has it been open for many years, if that is the case, the concubine body may still have some impressions." ”

Mu Qing raised his chin slightly, looked at Wang Yeqing, and said with a slight smile: "It seems to be called Liuye Bookstore, this shop is called such a name, it sounds like there is a semicolon." ”

The expression on Wang Yeqing's face did not change at all, Mu Qing felt a little regretful in his heart, and only heard Wang Yeqing cover his mouth and smile: "This shop, I really remember that the shopkeeper seemed to be surnamed Chen." ”

Her face was dyed a little flushed for no reason, and Mu Qing looked surprised, so she chuckled and explained: "In the early years, I once gave my husband my own handmade pastries, and when I got to the end of the street, when I passed the door of a shop, a person ran out from behind the closed wooden door and knocked me down. ”

"Hmm. Wang Yeqing's slender and sturdy fingers caressed his chest, frowned and recalled: "After this person helped me up, he looked squinting, and asked the girl's name, how frivolous the words were, so I remember it deeply." ”

Mu Qingxing's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't judge the truth of the other party's words in his heart, those narrow and charming eyes seemed to speak, and when he looked at you, he seemed to be saying naturally: "Back then, it was like this." The tone was full of nostalgia and joy after the interesting memories of the past were picked up.

"I didn't know there was such an interesting story......

Wang Yeqing shook his head and chuckled: "At that time, where was the defense of etiquette and religion like now, the world sank, and the etiquette and religion became bad. ”

She saw that Mu Qing was a little silent, and suddenly asked at the end: "The concubine remembers this strange shop because there is an interesting incident, can the son remember, is there also?"

"Huh?" Mu Qing smiled calmly: "It's also an interesting thing, I still remember that time when I was a vassal Fengya ran around for a walk, and when I walked to the end of the street, I found that the surrounding shops were all open, and there was a shop that didn't open the door for a long time, I thought it was closed, but when I got closer, a wooden board was hung vertically on the side of the door, and the four big characters of "Willow Leaf Bookstore" were written in cursive on it, but another line of small characters was written in regular script on the edge: 'Only one person is received at a time'. ”

Wang Yeqing said with a smile: "This is also true." ”

Mu Qing saw Wang Yeqing smiling happily, and said with a smile: "Madame is homesick, so it's better to go to her hometown and revisit it by yourself." ”

Wang Yeqing filled himself with tea, nodded and said, "Thank you Gongzi for reminding me, I will." ”

After Mu Qingdu left the carriage for a long time, there was no sound in the carriage except for the grunt of new charcoal boiling tea.

Wang Xiuwei has learned a lot of etiquette in Xiaohong Mansion since she was a child, and her movements of making tea are extremely elegant, her fingers are as white as jade, and she gently poured the cup of tea that had been cold into the tea tray, and slowly turned it upside down.

Wang Yeqing looked at her daughter's movements and asked with a smile, "Xiaowei, what do you think?"

Wang Xiuwei's movements were stunned, generally as long as the grandma was there, she would not bother to figure out and observe people's hearts, at this time she pouted slightly, thought seriously for a moment and said: "He is very cautious and has been testing us." ”

"Well, what else?"

"He seems to be a little sensitive to Grandma, you mention Qingyun Street. Wang Xiu frowned slightly and said, "Did he also find out about the relationship between you and the Liuye Bookstore, Grandma? ”

Wang Xiuwei had actually guessed some of Wang Yeqing's identity back then, but the other party had never fully satisfied her curiosity. She could only piece together some incomplete information through casual conversations, but this time when she saw Wang Yeqing frowning and thinking deeply, she couldn't help but ask again as before: "Grandma, what is the relationship between you and the bookstore, can you stop hiding it from me." ”

Wang Yeqing came back to his senses from his contemplation, looked at the strong desire for knowledge in his daughter's eyes, shook his head helplessly and said, "I won't care if you guess something, but I won't let you be involved." ”

"Silly boy, I'm also good to you. ”

Wang Xiuwei changed his title, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, then grandma can always tell me what you think of this Mu Qing." ”

Wang Xiuwei smiled lightly, and said with contempt in his words: "He, maybe it's the same as your grandma used to." ”
