Chapter 42: What is affection?

The murmuring of water in the quiet courtyard, accompanied by the sound of the ding dong spring played between the woman's fingers, the two are accompanied by a beautiful fairy sound. The woman who stroked the qin was less than two years old, wearing a snow shirt without embellishment, and the skirt was scattered on the ground like snow lotus petals, which was natural and elegant. The green silk poured down, splashing ink on the white dress, and the hair was tied with snow-white ribbons. The fair cheeks did not have any makeup, the slightly curled eyelashes reflected the lowered eyes, and the red lips had a shallow smile. Peaceful and wonderful.

After playing the song, a clear voice sounded: "Jiang Shang tunes the jade qin, and the strings are clear and the heart is clear." The seven strings are all over the place, and the trees are clear and gloomy. It can make the river and the moon white, and make the river deep. Beginning to know the sycamore branches, can emblem gold. A young man walked out from behind a tree, walked slowly towards the woman, and praised her palm.

The woman looked at him in surprise and smiled lightly: "It turned out to be Ziyu, please take a seat." ”

The young man spread his hands helplessly: "Miss Mu, Miss Mu, can you please call me by my name? ”

Mu Qinghan rolled his eyes and smiled: "If Second Young Master Wen could not deliberately hide his breath, and then suddenly run out and chant a few words of sour poetry, probably I wouldn't have called you a word." ”

Wen Lun sighed: "This son is praising Miss Mu's superb piano skills, how can it be a sour poem?"

Mu Qinghan hugged Qin Yingying and got up: "Didn't you borrow the poems of the ancients to please people when you played with flowers?" handed the qin to the maid, sat on his knees in the pavilion, patiently cooked tea, and poured out the boiling tea without hurrying: "Two, please?"

Wen Lun sat on his knees and sniffed the fragrance of the tea: "Sure enough, it is the tea handled by Miss Mu, it is really fragrant." It's really 'the only water in the qin, and the old Mengshan in the tea'. ”

"I have to say, I'm curious now, do you praise it like this in the Qinglou on weekdays? A young man in a yellow robe shook his fan out and said with a gentle smile. If Wen Lun is casual, then he is calm.

Wen Lun snorted: "Of course not, I will tell them that I will improvise a poem for them, and then fill up the number with the ancient poems." ”

Bai Zhen glanced at him with a smile: "Don't be ashamed." "Sit down and enjoy the tea.

Wen Lun glared at him while Mu Qinghan wasn't paying attention, and groaned slightly: "Qinghan, I heard that you seem to be sad in the piano, but what's on your mind?"

Mu Qinghan looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you all of a sudden today?

Wen Lun was stunned: "What?"

Bai Zhen looked at Wen Lun's deflated expression and laughed unceremoniously: "Wen Dashao is a veteran among the flowers, how can he be frustrated?

Mu Qinghan pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't really believe that he can be frustrated, it's just that he looks like this...... Don't seem to have a lot of brains?"

Bai Zhenren smiled: "We thought that you might be in a bad mood, and came to see you, but we were afraid that you would not want to talk to us." He patted his chest and said that he can pour out your heart in three words, otherwise you will not be in the wind and moon field for three months. ”

Mu Qinghan sighed: "This price is quite large. ”

Bai Zhen nodded and said, "I feel the same way." ”

"Hey, what do you two mean by that?" Wen Lun shouted dissatisfiedly, but seeing that Mu Qinghan was not reluctant in his smile, he also relieved his heart.

The three of them laughed for a while and fell silent at the same time, no one spoke, and there was silence for a while. Mu Qinghan looked at the tea in the teacup and said in a low voice, "Thank you for coming, I feel much better." ”

Wen Lun asked, "Sure enough, you're still in a bad mood?"

Mu Qinghan smiled: "I'm still a little worried about my father." ”

Wen Lun blinked and said, "Really, aren't you worried about your lover?"

Mu Qinghan was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant, and his smile was a little sad: "Yunmo?" He has always been weak, and this time he doesn't know what will become of a serious illness. ”

Bai Zhen said: "It's just a temporary thing, isn't it just to be removed from his post and grounded? He is so favored, he will get better soon." ”

Wen Lun was about to speak, when he saw Bai Zhen's reminding eyes, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth: "Don't worry too much, he'll be fine." ”

Mu Qinghan lowered his eyes and said: "Don't say this kind of deceptive words, I don't need to be consoled." Worry is worry, and I don't do anything else. ”

The two have known her since childhood, and they know very well that she is weak on the outside and strong on the inside, so they didn't say much. Wen Lun drank tea silently, and asked after a while, "Qinghan, can I ask you a question?"

Mu Qinghan smiled lightly: "Ask." Probably guessing what he would ask with such a solemn attitude, he raised his head and looked at him quietly.

Wen Lun hesitated for a moment because of her eyes, but still asked, "Is Zhao Qingyan really worth your doing?"

"That's still the problem. Mu Qinghan said softly and did not answer.

Wen Lun frowned: "Yes, it's still this question, because I still can't figure it out." You don't mind his body, you don't mind his fame, you don't mind his temperament...... You don't mind anything, but do you want to? Do you love him? I can do anything, but I don't want to see you just marry someone who has no feelings for each other like you, and share the pain for him that you can simply not bear. Is it worth it?"

Mu Qinghan still didn't speak.

Wen Lun said: "Don't say anything about the orders of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, I don't believe it." Zhao Qingyan has always been reluctant to marry you, isn't it because he himself is unwilling to drag you down? Yes, he is very good, and he also has unparalleled grace. But what's the use of that? He can't give you shelter, he can't give you love, he can't give you a husband and wife, he can't even give you a complete family!"

"Alright, don't say it. Mu Qinghan's voice was still soft, and the corners of his lips were smiling, "I only have one answer, I don't care." ”

Wen Lun said excitedly: "There are so many men in the world who are more suitable for you than him, why do you want to be like this?"

Mu Qinghan closed his eyes: "If you insist on asking, then I can answer you." I never wanted the children you said to be around their knees, holding hands with the elderly, and I never had the luxury of a love thing. What I want is to respect each other like a guest, and it is irrelevant to live and die. No one wants to but him. ”

"You...... I ......" Wen Lun got up suddenly, his eyes were full of anger and disappointment, he no longer looked at her, and left angrily.

Bai Zhen sipped the tea and waited for Wen Lun to leave before asking, "Why did you say that?"

Mu Qinghan said indifferently: "Because he doesn't want to die." ”

Bai Zhen sighed lightly: "Take your life's happiness and let yourself die, you are too confused." ”

Mu Qinghan said silently: "Bai Zhen, sometimes, the life of a parent is really too heavy and heavy. ”

Bai Zhen said: "So you chose the former between your mother's last wish and the love between the two of you. ”

Mu Qinghan smiled bitterly: "You won't say anything, my mother Jiuquan doesn't want to see such an ending or something, right?"

Bai Zhen shook his head: "No, I respect your choice." I am your friend, and friends need respect and trust between friends, so I will not interfere with your decisions. I can only say that maybe Wen Lun is not very suitable for you, but he is willing to change for you. But the one you choose now, no matter how natural and perfect you are in the eyes of others, he will not be able to change for you. After the run-in, there is an uneven gap between you. ”

Mu Qinghan looked at the direction Wen Lun left and said softly: "Probably, it will be like this." ”

Bai Zhen was a little serious: "Qinghan, I simply hope you can think about it more." If you still have to choose Zhao Qingyan, Wen Lun and I will not stop you. Wen Lun will care more about your happiness than being with you. If you can't love Zhao Qingyan and can't back down and tolerate his edges and corners, then it's really inseparable, and life and death have nothing to do with it. ”

Mu Qinghan bowed slightly: "I understand." ”

Bai Zhen got up and didn't persuade much: "Since this is the case, then I won't stay longer." If needed, I can bring you some news from Zhao Qingyan. ”

Mu Qinghan bit his lip and said, "I'm sorry for you." And also...... Please keep this matter a secret from him at all times. ”

Bai Zhen smiled: "I know, Wen Lun won't know." Suddenly added: "By the way, I heard that this time Ouchi intervened in the puppet palace, and there will be some action soon, and Zhao Qingyan should come over together." Would you like to meet him, and I'll arrange for you to have a sneak peek?" he winked at her.

Mu Qinghan was stunned, knowing that he was joking with himself, he couldn't help but blush: "No." ”

Bai Zhen said: "Alas, that's a pity. Without waiting for Mu Qinghan to ask again, he walked away.

"Miss, are you so close, don't you want to see your uncle?" the maid looked at her young lady and was silent, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Mu Qinghan was stunned, his snow-white face immediately turned red, and he said angrily: "Okay, you are a silk bamboo, are you angry with me? I haven't been out of the cabinet yet, what are you calling uncle?"

Sizhu covered her mouth and smiled: "Miss's face is so red, it's rare." It seems that the young lady cares about her uncle very much. ”

Mu Qinghan pursed his lips: "If you say that again, beware of me being angry." ”

Sizhu knew that she wouldn't be angry, and said deliberately: "Miss is so cute like this, but it's a pity that my uncle can't see it." ”

Mu Qinghan originally wanted to play with her again, but suddenly a wave of fatigue surged up from the bottom of his heart, and he suddenly lost his interest: "I'm a little tired, go back and rest first." He got up on the table and walked to the bedroom.

Sizhu was stunned, only thinking that she had really made Miss unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Miss, I'm sorry, I won't talk nonsense, Miss don't be angry." ”

Mu Qinghan knew that she would be wrong, so she smiled softly: "No, I'm really tired, I'm not angry with you, don't worry." ”

Sizhu cautiously asked, 'Is Miss really not angry?'

Mu Qinghan deliberately joked: "Of course, don't worry, I won't be angry with you, an ignorant little girl, if I'm angry." ”

Sizhu sighed lightly with reassurance: "That's good, I'm really afraid of upsetting Miss." Every time Miss gets angry, I'm scared. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, when have I ever been angry?" Mu Qinghan dealt casually, walked into the room, and added another sentence when he was about to close the door, "I'm afraid that if I'm angry, clean up the yard, otherwise I'll definitely be angry." ”

Sizhu said: "Okay! I'll clean it up!"

Zhao Qingyan said. Mu Qinghan slowly slid down against the closed door, sat down, crossed his arms around his knees, and gently read the name of the person who had made a marriage contract with him, which should be very familiar, but it was extremely unfamiliar. I thought I had made up my mind, but when I was faced with the inevitable choice, I was so frightened.

She raised her two white index fingers, slowly crossed them together, and muttered to herself: "Is the marriage contract to tie two people who don't know each other and have no fate together and spend their lives together?

Whose fault is it that you are married to someone but fall in love with another person?
