When Mu Beiting heard this, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, his brain was "buzzing" when he was neutral, he was sweating and cold, and his hands trembled unconsciously. What am I?"

Lin Zongbian on the side was also surprised, but he was on the outside, his mind was still sober and calm, and after being shocked, he forced himself to think calmly: "Strange, this series of accidents came very suddenly, could it be that the matter between the eldest brother and Xun Dai'er was known by Xun Yue? Could today's event be planned by him in advance?"

When he thought of this, he raised his eyes and carefully looked at Xun Yue's expression, but seeing that he was heartbroken at this time, his expression was all true feelings, not like a fake, and he couldn't see any clues for a while, and then he turned his eyes to look at Mu Beiting, but saw that his righteous brother was stunned, obviously unsettled.

Seeing this, Lin Zongbian secretly thought in his heart: "The eldest brother is sad at the moment, most of them have lost their ability to think, it seems that I can only find out the truth of this matter." So he said to Xun Yue: "It's a pity that we can't meet at this celebration because of a chivalrous and courageous person like Brother Ma." ”

Xun Yue sighed and choked up: "Originally, Brother Ma was going to come in person, but at that time, he was entangled in trivial matters, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he had to ask someone to send me a letter to congratulate him from afar." But who would have thought that this letter would become his last letter..."

Lin Zongbian took the opportunity to ask, "Didn't this Brother Ma's son fail to come?"

Xun Yue said: "Brother Ma's son-in-law took over the family business a few years ago, and he was discussing business with people in Xijing at that time, but he couldn't come, but he sent someone to send a Mobao. Hang on this wall. As he spoke, he pointed to the west wall of the hall.

Lin Zongbian looked away, and sure enough, he saw a word hanging on the wall. When he first entered the house, he only paid attention to the dishes on the dinner table, but did not pay attention to the surrounding furnishings.

"In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery.

The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. ”

Looking down again, I saw the inscription "Little Nephew Ma Li" in four small characters.

Lin Zongbian silently recited in his heart: "It turns out that this person's name is Ma Li. ”

Then I tasted it carefully throughout the article, only to feel that the font of this work is dignified and magnificent, the momentum is open, and the frame between the pens is quite a bit of a taste.

Lin Zongbian is extremely knowledgeable, five bodies and ability, the love of calligraphy and painting has entered a state of obsession, now seeing this work, I can't help but have to taste it, thinking: "If you want to learn the essence of Qingchen Kaiti, you have to spend decades of hard work, and this person has not yet married, must be not very old." Hmm, I think he can have such skills at a young age, he is really talented!"

But then I thought again: "The ancients said: 'Seeing nature with poetry', this person inscribed this poem "After Dengke", most of which was to show his enterprising heart, which was in line with Xun Yue's desire to pursue fame and fortune. ”

Thinking of this, he glanced at Mu Beiting, but saw that his eldest brother was still sluggish, and he was in a trance, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Hey, poor my eldest brother, he has met such an opponent, but what should I do?"

At this moment, I suddenly heard Mu Beiting ask in a loud voice: "Chief Xun, can you tell this Ma Gongzi's name?"

Xun Yue hurriedly said: "The single name is a 'Li' character." ”

Mu Beiting's eyes flashed slightly, nodded slightly, and said: "The deceased has gone, please also ask Chairman Xun to mourn by the way." After a pause, he said: "Master Xun has to travel far away to mourn, and it is inconvenient for my two brothers to stay in the house to disturb them, and we will collect our luggage and leave later." After speaking, he stood up, raised his hand and saluted Xun Yue, and then said: "Thank you Director Xun for your hospitality for many days, and I will leave!"

Xun Yue hurriedly got up and saluted: "I'm really ashamed! I can't fulfill the friendship of the landlord, so I want to let the two good friends leave, but it's just strange that things happened suddenly, and the sin of negligence here, so I have to let Xun make up for it again in the future." ”

Lin Zongbian saw that his righteous brother had already handed over his words, and immediately stood up and said goodbye to Xun Yue.

Then the two left the inner garden and returned to the guest room, where they packed their luggage.

The more Lin Zongbian thought about it, the more strange he felt, so he threw the burden he had put away on the bed, raised his eyes to look out the window, and muttered, "Big brother, what do you think about this matter?"

Mu Beiting tied the packed baggage with a rope knot and tied it to his back, and said helplessly: "What else can you see, the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the love of the knife is not what a gentleman does!"

Lin Zongbian frowned and shook his head: "No, no, I mean, doesn't the eldest brother think that this matter is too abrupt?"

Mu Beiting snorted and said, "How abrupt? Oh, by the way! This fiancé is indeed a little abrupt. ”

Lin Zongyan's brows furrowed even more, and he reached out at the moment, ripped off the burden on Mu Beiting's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, don't be discouraged, there are many doubts in this matter, let's take this matter over from the beginning." ”

Mu Beiting forcibly suppressed his heart and said, "Okay, then you can talk about it." ”

Lin Zongyan said: "In the past few days, I have been with the two of them almost day and night, and the words I have said during this period have been loaded, but I have never heard them mention this matter, why would they suddenly mention it today?

"Besides, today's banquet has been full of strangeness since the beginning, and it seems to be a send-off banquet. I guess it's very likely that Xun Yue knew about you and Xun Dai'er, and it was he who made such a move, and his intention was just to reject your thoughts about Xun Dai'er!"

After hearing this analysis, Mu Beiting also frowned and thought about it. He only cared about the sadness before, and didn't think about what happened today, but at this time, he calmed down and went through these things in his heart, and sure enough, he also found something strange, and thought to himself: "In the past few days, Dai'er doesn't seem to have a fake affection for me, and she shouldn't hide it from me... Isn't it true that as Brother Lin said, Xun Yue knew about me and Dai'er? No, I must go to Dai'er in person to ask for a clear understanding of this matter before I can feel at ease. ”

He made up his mind, and said to Lin Zongbian: "You wait here for a while, and I'll go back when I go." After speaking, he jumped out of the door, then jumped up to the roof and hurried towards Xun Dai'er's room.

When Lin Zongbian chased him out of the door and looked around, he saw Mu Beiting's figure falling in the sunset, and there was no trace of him.

Looking at the remnant sun in the sky like blood, Lin Zongbian slowly hugged his hands to his chest, leaned against the door, let out a long sigh, and said to himself: "Big brother is a person who is very affectionate, but don't be hurt by love!"
