The Trojan Marquis Mansion, which has always been deserted, is extremely lively today. It should be a great joy for Miss Mu to get married, but it is obvious that there are not many happy people.

Mu Qinghan looked at the vacant seats around him, and sighed faintly: "Ziyu really didn't come over." ”

Bai Zhen asked, "Do you want him to come over?"

Mu Qinghan laughed self-deprecatingly: "Who knows? I know that it is better not to come, but I still have some expectations." ”

Bai Zhen raised the cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you are about to get married, and you will have your own family." ”

Mu Qinghan was slightly stunned: "Are you really bless me?"

Bai Zhen said: "Naturally, I believe you will be happy." ”

Mu Qinghan didn't say much, pursed his lips and smiled, and also picked up the teacup in front of him: "Thank you, I accept your good words." ”

"That's right. Bai Zhen took out a porcelain vase from his arms and handed it to her, winking at her mysteriously, "Do you know what this is?"

Mu Qinghan stretched out his hand to take it, pulled out the plug and sniffed it in front of his nose, and asked, "Wine?"

Bai Zhen said: "To be precise, it's my daughter Hong." Ten years ago, Ziyu quarreled that he would marry you in the future, and then bought a jar of bamboo leaves and buried it under the big locust tree in his eldest brother's yard, remember? Yesterday Ziyu and I dug it out, and we drank it first, and this small bottle was left. How's it going?

Mu Qinghan shook his head slightly, stuffed the stopper back, and smiled: "Let's drink it later." ”

Bai Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, and then said, "Although Ziyu refuses to come over, he has already figured it out. The two of us are not too young, and it is probably time to find a beloved to have a biological child. Each has its own home, so let's forget about it, and we'll be friends in the future. ”

Mu Qinghan lowered his eyes and looked at the porcelain vase in his hand, and muttered to himself: "It's better not to see, why bother to see each other?"

Bai Zhen smiled and said: "Ten years of friendship, don't you be so indifferent, okay? Maybe we will never see each other again, maybe we will meet again, who can say for sure? When a few years later, I have my own home, and these things in the past are just a dream of youth and ignorance." ”

Mu Qinghan didn't know if he heard it or not, but he looked carefully at the porcelain vase tightly wrapped in his palm, his eyes were obsessed and distant, as if he remembered his past.

Bai Zhen didn't bother her, just gently put the teacup in his palm that had not yet touched his lips back on the table, and then watched the lingering water vapor rise, and then slowly dissipate in the air, just like an ethereal dream in his mind.

When the hot tea became slightly cold, and when the cold wine became warm, Mu Qinghan smiled lightly, his eyes were clear, as if he had let go of something, and decisively drank the less than one sip of wine in the porcelain bottle, without any nostalgia.

The wine is not good, it has been buried in the ground for ten years, and it has long lost its mellow aroma. It's bitter, and it has a bit of a sour taste, and it's terrible to drink. Mu Qinghan wrinkled his good-looking nose, lightly covered his small cherry lips, and made a slight expression of wanting to vomit. Mu Qinghan, who has always been elegant and dignified, deliberately made this kind of expression, a little playful, a little cute, and a little elegant, but there is another kind of indescribable beauty.

Bai Zhen couldn't help but stare slightly, but soon returned to normal, and laughed in a low voice: "Isn't it particularly unpleasant?"

Mu Qinghan let out a soft snort in his nose, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I have never drunk such a bad wine, if I hadn't smelled the wine, I would have suspected that this was a bottle of vinegar that had been brewed." ”

Bai Zhen also made a bitter face, with a sad face: "God knows how we sat on the roof last night, looking at the moon that was covered, and drank such a jar of vinegar?"

Mu Qinghan had a smile in his eyes: "You didn't steal a little bit?"

Bai Zhen sighed: "How could I deliberately walk an extra mile to buy such a big jar? It's big and heavy, and I haven't bought the right wine." ”

Mu Qinghan recalled the scene at that time, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.

At dusk, the afterglow of the sun shone brightly, and two fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers walked on a road with few pedestrians. The yellow-robed young man on the left was carrying a girl a few years younger than him, and the sweat was dripping down his chin, but he was still using a loud voice to show that he was not tired at all. The white-robed boy on the right walked awkwardly with a huge jar of wine almost the size of a small water tank, constantly muttering that he would be scolded by his father if he went back, but he still had a smile on his face.

Time passes, and the youth is no more.

What remained unchanged was the disgusting bitterness of the wine in Fang Cai's mouth and the person sitting in front of him.

Ten years have passed like water, and the people around you have never left behind, so what else is there to ask for?

Mu Qinghan smiled, and the unhappiness of many days was swept away, and his smile was clear and beautiful.

Bai Zhen, who was silently watching, was a little distracted, but the moment before Mu Qinghan looked over, he looked away, and pretended to inadvertently brush off the dust on his knees in the direction of his gaze: "That's right, I can also put my mind at ease." Otherwise, if I persuade Ziyu and persuade you, no one will accept my affection, wouldn't I be busy in vain? Now that Ziyu has let go of his obsession and you have untied the knot, I will rest assured. ”

Mu Qinghan smiled and asked, "We'll have a chance to meet as friends in the future, right?" Although it was a question, he waited for an affirmative reply.

Bai Zhen nodded as she wished, and gave an affirmative answer: "What Princess Mo said is extremely true. Seeing that Mu Qinghan's smile was still beautiful and calm, and he hadn't changed anything because of his words, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Bai Gongzi, master, please go. A man appeared five paces away without a sound, bowing slightly.

Bai Zhen turned back in surprise: "Uncle Mu, have they already left?"

The man replied in an emotionless voice: "Yes, the prince and they have just left, and the lord is waiting." "He looked to be about sixty years old, and although he was not ugly, the flesh on his face was as thin as a piece of paper on his bones, and it was hard to look at him. He is not short, but his body is slightly rickety, his beard is mixed with a few traces of snow white, and his dark and thin body makes him look like an old man who is about to die.

And this old man, who is terrifying and disgusting in the eyes of others, is a loyal, serious, and amiable senior in the eyes of Bai Zhen and Mu Qinghan. This old man, who is only more than forty years old, but has worked so hard for the Wooden Horse Hou Mansion, is no different from the respect of a second father to Mu Qinghan.

Bai Zhen stood up, half-turned around and said, "Qinghan, let's go?"

Without waiting for Mu Qinghan to speak, Mu Yu spoke again: "The master asked Bai Gongzi to go over, and he didn't ask the young lady to go with him." ”

Bai Zhen was stunned: "Just call me?"

Mu Yu nodded, and stopped talking.

Mu Qinghan spoke: "Since my father only let you go, you can go, and I'll sit down by myself for a while." ”

Bai Zhen replied and said, "Then I'll go first, and then I'll come over and stay for a while if I have time." If it's too late, I won't come, so you can rest early. ”

Mu Qinghan nodded: "Well, I know, let's go." ”

——————————————————————

"Uncle Mu, are you looking for me?" Bai Zhen stopped outside the pavilion and looked at Trojan Marquis inquiringly.

Mumahou took his eyes away from the wooden box in front of him and pointed to the seat opposite: "Sit down, I have something to ask you for help." ”

Bai Zhen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Uncle, where is this, what do you need to tell me directly, whatever is within the power of my nephew, I will definitely do it for my uncle." ”

Trojan Mahou was silent for a moment: "No, this time is different, it may make you a little embarrassed." Time is pressing, I'm afraid it's too late to wait for your father to come back, so I have to ask you. ”

Bai Zhen seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and didn't ask more, just took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Uncle, please speak." ”

Seeing that he promised so quickly, Trojan Marquis was stunned, and only after a moment did he slowly say: "I don't know what will happen in the end, maybe it's just a danger, maybe it's ...... It's going to get you into big trouble. ”

"Master Hou. Bai Zhen exhaled lightly, his eyes calm, "I only know that Hou Ye and his father have been friends for decades, and my nephew has been often taken care of by Hou Ye for many years. If Master Hou needs my father and I to help him, we have no reason to shirk it. ”

Trojan Mahou shook his head: "This is not a matter of friendship, this is a matter related to your net worth, you must not be sloppy." In this case, time is pressing, so I will start with a brief explanation. You leave it up to your father to decide what to do after that, can you?"

Bai Zhen nodded: "Uncle, please speak." ”

Wooden Horse Hou said: "You should also know that my apprentice left a few years ago, and I wrote his current residence in this wooden box, and then you open the wooden box to find him, and then give this wooden box to him." Well...... I mean, if something goes wrong with the Trojan Marquis Mansion and it's inconvenient for me to look for him personally, you can show this wooden box to Qing Yan, and then you can go to my apprentice together. There are two letters in it, one for your father and your secretary, and one for my disciples. ”

His mood seemed to be a little unstable, but he just smiled, without much delay, and continued: "Except for you, your father, and Qingyan, don't disclose this matter to anyone - including Qinghan. Especially Qinghan and Wen Lun, don't let them know, and don't let King Qi and others know. Of course...... I said it was better not to let them know. If necessary, it's up to you to decide who knows. Remember, it was after something went wrong with the Trojan Marquis Mansion that this wooden box was opened. If nothing happens, destroy it. ”

Bai Zhen nodded solemnly: "I know." ”

Trojan Marquis nodded silently, and said, "I have one more thing I want you to help with...... but stopped.

Bai Zhen said: "Master Hou, please speak." ”

After a long silence, Trojan Marquis spoke: "I want you, no matter what happens, you must let Qinghan marry Zhao Qingyan." ”

Bai Zhen didn't answer immediately, and only after a long time did he show a smile: "Well, I know, I'll do my best." ”

Trojan Marquis looked at Bai Zhen's forced smile and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything: "This matter may involve you in some right and wrong, I'm sorry." ”

Bai Zhen quickly adjusted his mood and asked, "Why did Uncle do this, even at the expense of alarming Brother Xia?"

Trojan Marquis pretended to smile lightly: "If I say that it is because I have taken a hexagram for the Hou Mansion, and predicted that the Hou Mansion will have a great catastrophe in the near future, a catastrophe of death, do you believe it?"

Bai Zhen's face changed obviously: "Master Hou personally divined?"

Trojan Ma Hou bowed: "Yes, the hexagram is very strange, and I can't completely see through it." I'm afraid the only thing I can do is to keep Qinghan and Qingqian. ”

An extremely obvious fear and panic appeared in Bai Zhen's eyes: "Is it incomprehensible?"

Trojan Marhou looked back at the wooden box, and said leisurely: "The hexagram is dead, and the person is alive, how can it be calculated? It's just that I can't figure out where the calamity comes from, so I don't know how to break the situation." ”

Although Trojan Mahou's tone was flat, Bai Zhen's face became more and more pale after hearing it: "But Master Hou ......"

Trojan Marquis looked at him gently: "No preparation is a certain death, if you are prepared, there is a solution." Brother Wen and Brother Bai are not close, if I can trust someone outside the Trojan Horse Hou Mansion, I'm afraid it's you children. Wen Lun is impatient and impulsive, Qingyan is still young, although it is difficult to grind, he is also easy to panic. I know this matter is too much for you. But there is no one else but you. ”

Bai Zhen just stood in place, and he didn't know if he had listened to Trojan Marquis's words.

"Zhen'er, sit down and listen to me. Wooden Horse Hou waited for a while, and when he saw that he was motionless, he only sighed lightly, "Zhen'er ......" Wooden Horse Hou waited for a while, and saw that he was motionless, and only sighed lightly, "That's it, there is nothing more worth saying...... You go first, if Wen Lun is also nearby, you can look at him. He got up and handed the wooden box to Bai Zhen.

Bai Zhen's temperament was already resolute and calm, although he was moved by Trojan Mahou's sudden words, but after a while, he still eased up a little. Hearing Trojan Mahou's words, Bai Zhen just nodded hesitantly, reached out and took the wooden box and carefully put it into his arms: "I understand, then I'll go back first." Turning away, he seemed a little lost.

Trojan Marquis looked at his back, his gaze was a little unbearable, and finally chose to let him disappear completely from his sight.

"Master, is it really good not to tell Miss about this?" Mu Yu silently appeared in the identity of Trojan Marquis, and asked in a hoarse voice.

Trojan Marquis shook his head: "Don't tell her, just hide it first." ”

Mu Yu nodded, and left silently.
