"Okay." Murong Shuqing put the chicken legs that the maid had brought into Murong Xingyue's bowl, "It's delicious, eat it quickly."
Murong Shuqing watched the little girl struggling to hold the chicken legs with chopsticks, and the bowls and chopsticks clattered, so she couldn't help laughing, "Yue'er, eat with your hands." Hearing the encouragement, the little girl happily put down the troubles that were bothering her. Chopsticks, raised his hand and stretched towards the chicken thigh.
"You don't even know the etiquette of dining, how can you get into the elegant hall? Don't let the guests see jokes!" A female voice with a sneer made the little hand retract like an electric shock.
Murong Xingyue clenched her hands, bowed her head and curled up in Murong Shuqing's arms. This child has always been sensitive, perhaps because she had not had a mother since she was a child, and her father did not care about her, which made her feel very insecure. This was what made Murong Shuqing the most distressed, she picked up the chicken leg and put it in Murong Xingyue's hand, patted her head with a smile, "The legs and legs that you eat with your hands are the best, has Yue'er forgotten? "
In the eyes of encouragement, Murong Xingyue took a small bite of the chicken thigh. After all, she was a child, so she quickly focused her attention on the chicken thigh.
"Concubine Zhao is right. It seems that the family education must have been strict when I was a child." Murong Shuqing's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear it clearly. Zhao Linglong's face suddenly turned pale. She grew up in a poor family and her mother passed away early, leaving only her father and three younger siblings who were drinking all day long. She was sold into a brothel at the age of ten, and she married into the Murong family as a concubine only because she was beautiful and played some tricks. Today, Murong Shuqing's words made her feel ashamed, she could only hold it in her heart, even though she was about to bite her teeth, she didn't dare to say any more.
Xuanyuan Yi was a little confused, who is this woman who always smiles and speaks sharply? She is definitely not the Murong Shuqing who has been pestering her all day long to please her, nor is she that arrogant, ignorant little girl. So who is she
"Since the two young masters came to Huadu, you must not miss the annual Prayer for Lotus Festival. Xinghun, please entertain the two young masters well during this time."
"I will, elder sister." He had always respected Brother Xuanyuan, and Murong Xinghun was so happy that he could live at home this time.
Murong Shuqing is going to throw our two "burdens" to Murong Xinghun? Xuanyuan Yi thought to himself. I stayed because I wanted to solve her mystery, how could she escape so easily? "I thought it was Qing'er that you entertained us yourself."
The deep voice was very seductive, but Murong Shuqing could only smile bitterly, Qing'er? When did they get to know each other so well, I heard that he never gave Murong Shuqing a good look, let alone called her Qing'er in such a gentle tone. Wouldn't Xuanyuan Yi also be interested in her? Forget it, she didn't plan to hide herself in the first place.
"The two young masters rarely come to Huadu. Naturally, they have to take a good tour. Xinghun can be the guide for the two of them. I have always been weak, and I am afraid that I will spoil the two of them. , she is very evasive, but it's a pity that he Xuanyuan Yi is not so easy to deal with, "Qinger's body is ill, then you need to go out and move around more, don't be bored at home all the time."
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Xuanyuan." Xuanyuan Yi got on with her. If she didn't agree today, he wouldn't give up. Well, she also wants to see what the fiance who just broke off the marriage thinks, sometimes too much mystery will arouse the desire of men to explore, which is not what she wants. Ya Shi, I would be more respectful than obedient."
"It would be great to have Miss Murong to accompany you." A narrow smile appeared on Pei Che's face. Xuanyuan Yi had already been influenced by this Miss Murong, who was completely inconsistent with the legend, but he didn't know it yet. Although it is not a pleasant meal for the guests and hosts, at least it seems to be enjoyable. After dinner, everyone dispersed.
Tingfengxuan at night is more attractive than daytime. The layers of tree shadows are intertwined, such as surrounded by mountains. Because it is not real, people want to see the whole picture. The sound of the wind came slowly through the pine forest, the crescent moon was beautiful, but not bright, and only vaguely saw the three people sitting on the stone bench in front of the small building.
Murong Xinghun asked anxiously, "Big Brother Xuanyuan, did you really break off your marriage with your elder sister?" In his opinion, the current elder sister and Big Brother Xuanyuan are a good match, and he hoped that they could be together.
"Well, your sister herself agreed." Regarding this, he also thought that it seemed too smooth.
"She is very eager, of course she agrees." Although Murong Xinghun muttered in a low voice, the two of them listened carefully. Xuanyuan Yi was startled, and his brows were lightly wrinkled. Pei Che was very interested, so he leaned over and asked, "Why? Doesn't Miss Murong like Xuanyuan very much?"
"Three years ago, my sister almost died because of an accidental fall into the water. After waking up, her temperament changed greatly, and she couldn't remember many things. In the past three years, my sister has never mentioned this marriage. Once I asked, she only said There will be no marriage contract, so I think my sister has long planned to break off the marriage."
At first, Xuanyuan Yi only hoped that the marriage contract would be resolved as soon as possible, but he did not expect it to go so smoothly. It turned out that Murong Shuqing also wanted to break off the marriage, but why? Because she had amnesia? If you want to break off the marriage, why wait for these three years? Could it be... "Murong Shuqing knew that I also planned to break off the marriage, so she was not in a hurry and asked me to be this perfidious person?"
"I think so." Seeing Xuanyuan Yi's brows almost tied into knots, Murong Xinghun couldn't help laughing.
"Then if I don't come to break off the marriage, she plans to marry me?"
"No, I guess my sister will always find a way to get you to break off the marriage. Even if you don't come, the marriage will be called off." Having said this, Murong Xinghun's face was full of pride. This made Xuanyuan Yi very puzzled, when did the relationship between the two siblings become so good, and it could be seen that Murong Xinghun even admired Murong Shuqing, what happened in the past three years
"So Murong Shuqing is a very scheming woman?" Pei Che also heard the admiration in Murong Xinghun's tone. This woman is really not simple.
"No, my elder sister is a very smart person, and without my elder sister, I would not be who I am today." Looking back on the past three years of life, Murong Xinghun knew that if there was no elder sister, he and Murong Xingyue would be destined to be undervalued children like him. is to fall.
Xuanyuan Yi looked at this precocious child and had to admit that he was indeed not the same as he was three years ago. His tall and thin figure was not strong, but he was very strong, and he could vaguely see the flow of true energy in his body. , It is unstable, but it has been generated. It should be instructed by a famous master, and it will only be available if you often practice martial arts. The excellent temperament can be seen from the firm eyes. Is this all because of Murong Shuqing
"I heard that she found a master for you to teach at home, why didn't you go to the academy? You're not afraid of her conspiracy?" Pei Che always felt that Murong Shuqing changed too fast, and there must be something wrong.
"I thought so too at the beginning, so I either didn't go to class or made trouble in front of the master, but my sister said something to me, she said: 'In this world, there is only one thing that no one can take away from you, That is-wisdom. 'If I want to defeat the enemy or the person I hate, I have to make myself stronger. Only in this way can I get what I want and protect the person I want to protect." Murong Xinghun's bright face showed With a smile on his face, he picked up the new tea on the table and took a sip.
Before Xuanyuan Yi and Pei Che were only curious about Murong Shuqing, now they are even more puzzled. Although Xuanyuan Yi had always disliked Murong Shuqing's coquettish willfulness, but the two were family friends, so it could be said that he watched her grow up, and she never liked to read, so how could she say this because of the so-called amnesia ? It's too suspicious.
Pei Che asked tentatively, "Miss Murong really knows a lot about people, so is it true that it is rumored that the Murong family is in charge of Murong Shuqing?"
"Of course, now the Murong family's business is handled by the elder sister, and the old man stopped managing it a long time ago." It's okay to not manage, otherwise the Murong family will be defeated by him sooner or later. "It's getting late, I should go back too, Big Brother Xuanyuan, Big Brother Pei, I'll come to find you tomorrow and show you around." After speaking, Murong Xinghun strode out of Tingfengxuan.
"It seems that we should get to know this Miss Murong again. She is no longer the Murong Shuqing you used to know." I thought it would be a very boring thing to accompany Xuanyuan to Murong's house this time, but today it seems that she is here. correct.
Ignoring Pei Che's laughter, Xuanyuan Yi followed Murong Xinghun's footsteps and left Tingfengxuan. He did not follow Murong Xinghun, but just walked aimlessly. The Murong Mansion is very large, and there is a lantern at a distance. It is not very bright, but it is enough to illuminate. Unconsciously, he came to the front of a large lake, and the faint fragrance of lotus wafted in the breeze. If it seemed like nothing, it made people feel refreshed and pulled back Xuanyuanyi's chaotic thoughts.
Although it was a new moon, the starry sky was not blocked by clouds and mist, and the moonlight was still bright, which allowed him to see the white shadow by the lake. is her? Her mind was still thinking about her various anomalies, but her feet involuntarily walked towards the white shadow.
Three years later, she almost forgot her real name Bai Yifan, her previous life seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her, caressing the bracelet on her wrist, her thoughts fell into that hot summer afternoon again. When she was young, her father's business had just started, her eldest brother had to go to primary school again, and the younger brother also needed to be taken care of. Her mother was too busy, and she had been living with her grandfather until she was in junior high school. Her parents and brothers love her very much, but she still prefers to stay with her grandfather. Grandpa is a professor of archaeology. She likes to watch him focus on his research, and like those baptisms that have been weathered and years old and presented in front of the world The thousand-year-old antiquities, the kind of sharp edge and inherent brilliance, are incomparable to modern objects no matter how exquisite. Grandpa also likes to use those antiques to evaluate with her. He took out a bracelet with great interest that day?
"Girl, I'll show you something good." Grandpa held a black velvet tray and handed it to her mysteriously. The whole body of the bracelet is snow-white, and it is crystal clear and blooming with a warm light. Upon closer inspection, you can see that there is a lavender fluorescent light between the texture of the jade bracelet, as if it will flow faintly.
"Can I touch it?" Her heart seemed to be pricked by some movement, and her eyes couldn't be separated from it. She wanted to touch it to see if it was as warm as it looked.
"Of course, it was brought back by Professor Feng from Loulan. Let me identify the treasure of what age it is, but I still have no conclusion." This is also the reason why he called his precious granddaughter back. She has also learned a lot, and she is very talented in this area. When the other children went out, she always stayed at home quietly. She could practice calligraphy for a day without moving, and she could stare at a beautiful jade for hours without getting bored. Sometimes he was also very strange. The child was ridiculously quiet, and she seemed to be able to feel the breath of peace and tranquility around her.
Picking up the bracelet, she could immediately feel a cold air surrounding her fingertips. Looking at the sun, the bracelet has good light transmission, and in the sun, the purple is more obvious, making it surrounded by a faint purple mist.
"It's hard to define the age of the bracelet. It depends on the gloss of the bracelet. I don't want to re-polish it, but it doesn't look like an antique that has been eroded over a long period of time. Also, the bracelet has no scratches at all, and I still feel the cold air. The texture should not be jade." What could it be? Playing with the bracelet, she became even more puzzled.
"It's really not jade. I've asked someone to identify it. The report on the specific ingredients has not come out yet. At first glance, it is a kind of ore with magnetic properties, which is harmless to the body." He was also very distressed, but it also aroused his concern. Interest.
She walked out of the balcony, and in the sunny outside, the cool air emanating from the bracelet was deeper, making people feel comfortable, and the sun didn't seem so hot. At that time, she was fascinated by it, unaware that she was surrounded by a cloud of purple mist. The originally stable balcony suddenly collapsed, her feet were empty, she fell down, and only darkness greeted her.
After waking up, she was already Murong Shuqing, the young lady of the Murong family. What's even more strange is that this Miss Murong is wearing a purple bracelet on her wrist, which is said to have been left to her by her mother, and has been wearing it since she was a child.
Is this bracelet the one that Grandpa showed her? Did it bring her here? Why choose her? What did you bring her here for? Will it take her back? She pondered these questions for three years, but she still had no clue.
A pair of black boots appeared silently behind Murong Shuqing. She thought he wouldn't come, but she still underestimated the curiosity of human beings. Murong Shuqing didn't know martial arts, so she was helpless about the disappearance of these masters, but she had a very keen sense of smell and was very sensitive to people's breath. Generally, if someone approached her within ten meters, she would find out. Therefore, you don't need to look to know that there is a person standing behind her, the extraordinary General Xuanyuan.
Since people don't speak, then she should not know, maybe others are just "long nights, unintentional sleep".
Sitting casually by the lake, her two white jade-like legs swayed gently on the water. Under the soft shroud of the moonlight, she was as clear as jade, and the breeze played with her black hair. She looked very peaceful under the moon, but Xuanyuan Yi felt his calm heart rippled like a lake, and unconsciously whispered, "Who are you?"
"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful." A gentle female voice with a chuckle answered him, but it was a pity that the content was irrelevant.
"Who are you?"
What a strong sense of oppression! This man really can't tolerate a trace of perfunctory and neglect, but who is she? What to say? Could it be that she is from another world? After Murong Shuqing discovered that Xuanyuan Yi appeared, her most expressions were helpless and wry smiles, such as now.
Murong Shuqing didn't look back, the cool lake water under her feet made her feel very comfortable. She flicked the lotus leaf beside her, raised her lips, and said lazily, "I don't know who I am, maybe I'm just a lonely soul living in this body." Understanding is up to him.
"A lonely soul? You are really confusing!" Hearing such an answer, Xuanyuan Yi actually felt that he was more convincing and more comfortable than when she said she was Murong Shuqing. He lifted up his robe and sat on the ground beside her, the corners of his mouth twitching involuntarily.
Seeing Xuanyuan Yi sitting beside him casually, Murong Shuqing had to sigh again, this casual attitude didn't make him look ordinary, on the contrary, it was more captivating, and his resolute face under the moonlight was even more handsome.
"It's just a passerby, no need to wonder." Murong Shuqing got up slowly, not caring that his wet legs wet the skirt, he stood barefoot on the soft grass, lightly patted off the grass clippings from his body and hair, and picked up his embroidered shoes , turned around and walked on the grass.
Are you passing by? It wasn't until the white shadow disappeared in front of him that Xuanyuan Yi retracted his gaze, but the curvature of the corners of his lips did not decrease but instead increased, looking at the swaying Xinhe, his eyes shone brighter.
