"Mr. Murong wants to move out of Yuefu?" Gu Mang was taken aback, "Then where is he going when he is alone?"
"I don't know." Yue Chenqing lowered her head and absently rubbed her exorcism sachet, looking very sad, but also a little disheartened.
This kind of situation has never happened to Yue Chenqing. Yue Chenqing has been chasing Murong Chuyi for so many years.
Probably a person's heart is always fleshy after all, the long-term enthusiasm will not get any return, and eventually there will be a day when the cooling is exhausted. What's more, Jiang Yexue treats him with a completely different tolerant attitude from Murong Chuyi, who is also his elder and the great master of artifact refining. In this comparison, it is actually hard not to feel shaken.
"The fourth uncle has said before that he has different blood from us, and he has never regarded us as relatives. The reason why he has stayed in Chonghua is just to repay my mother's kindness for adopting him. Now He probably thinks that I am weak too, and the favor is over, so... so he wants to leave."
Yue Chenqing's fingers circled around the knot.
"… I don't know where he's going either. He may be trying to travel around the world to find his true relatives, or he may just be annoyed by us and want to move away from us. I don't know how to persuade him, anyway I If you say that, he... he always doesn't listen..."
Mo Xi and Gu Mang glanced at each other, but did not speak to each other. This is really nothing to say, what to say
Yue Chenqing is not their relatives, and neither is Murong Chuyi. It is always inconvenient for outsiders to talk about other people's family affairs.
When he was embarrassed, he suddenly heard the bead curtain behind him.
It was Xiao Laner who reacted first. The little girl greeted her happily and obediently, and called out, "Sir!"
Several people in the courtyard turned their heads together, and saw Jiang Yexue came out of the inner hall in a wooden wheelchair. He was wearing cyan clothes today, and his black hair was buttoned by sapphire hair, hanging down on his shoulders. He smiled and touched Xiao Lan'er's hair, Xiao Lan'er said happily, "I'll push the wheelchair for Mr.
"OK."
The little girl put the centipede paper kite behind her back, went around behind Jiang Yexue and pushed him into the yard.
Jiang Yexue raised her head, her brows and eyes were soft, and she smiled: "I was inside to avoid the sachet, and I didn't listen to the movement for a while, so I was neglected. Brother Mo, Brother Gu, Duanyang Ankang."
When all the people were there, the small courtyard paved with bluestone became lively.
There are no servants in Jiang Yexue's house. They have to do everything themselves. But it is this way that I feel that the world is good and the years are peaceful.
Yue Chenqing and Xiao Lan'er were young and active, they ran around in the yard, one big and one small, they added fire to the open-air terrace, and brought in large buckets of well water to soak the zongzi leaves.
Gu Mang sat on the small bench, rolled up his sleeves and stirred glutinous rice. Seeing the two people in full swing, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that before noon, they will be able to use up all the water stored in the water tank."
"It's the right time to use it up." Jiang Yexue said with a smile, "Duanyang wants to take the afternoon water, and the yang energy is at its peak at noon. It is rumored that the water source stored at this time can ward off evil spirits and miasmas. Didn't you believe this the most?"
Gu Mang secretly said, "Oh, I forgot.
However, he glanced at Mo Xi who was cleaning the zongzi leaves by the stone platform in the distance, and secretly thanked that Jiang Yexue reminded him of this matter. He could take it to Mo Xi and talk to Mo Xi in a while, so that Mo Xi felt that he was even connected with these little ones. I still remember the details, Kuan Yi Kuan Mo Xi's heart.
Gu Mang thought like this, then turned to talk to Jiang Yexue, "You told Yue Chenqing and the others all about me?"
"Not at all." Jiang Yexue said, "I just told him that Brother Gu, you have some secrets that are inconvenient to reveal to the public. But I know you are not a heinous person. If he trusts me, then I hope he I can also trust you—Chen Qing is still very smart, and many things don’t need us to break through.”
Gu Mang didn't know what to say, and finally lowered his eyes and said, "...Thank you."
"What else do you have to say thank you to me?" Jiang Yexue sighed, "Actually, I can't help you. I didn't always believe in you before. If you don't blame me, I'm already very grateful." He His eyes turned to the yard, as if he had passed through many years and saw a very simple wedding held in this yard many years ago.
A pair of newlyweds, few guests, others could not avoid it, but Gu Mang was afraid that the whole world would not know his attitude, a suona trumpeted the phoenix and the phoenix, and in the colorful paper flying in the courtyard, he blinked and smiled at Jiang Yexue .
"When I was excluded, you didn't turn your back on me, but I didn't always trust you. I owe you."
Gu Mang felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and he scratched the back of his head: "Oh, buddies, what do you owe?" On Xiao Lan'er, she hurriedly said, "Right, what happened to Lan'er? How does she live in your house?"
Jiang Yexue sighed: "You also know her situation, Lan'er's spiritual core is one in ten thousand powerful, almost comparable to Xi and Jun, but her physique is weak and can't bear such a natural destiny, so Instead, it became a madness. Although she was obedient and gentle on weekdays, when her symptoms broke out, she was very cruel and disrespectful..."
"She broke out again?"
"Well, it happened again in the school not long ago." Jiang Yexue looked at the busy little girl in the distance and said, "Although the elders of the school stopped in time, she still injured several children, among them One is your cousin's cousin."
"… "
"They originally wanted to expel her from the academy and destroy her spiritual core, but I couldn't bear it, so I took her as my disciple and took her with me. Some dabbling, knowing that her madness can't stand the stimulation the most, and most avoid others' words to provoke her." Jiang Yexue sighed, "The school is mostly children who are not deep in the world. Under the influence of some elders, they always call her a monster. , she won't get any better if she stays there."
Gu Mang nodded and said, "Yes. Children are the easiest to follow."
"That's why I persuaded Lord Changfeng to keep his daughter in my mansion. First, I can preach and gain careers. Second, I can slowly relieve her overbearing spiritual core. Thirdly..." Jiang Ye Xue paused for a moment, "I'm so busy here, it's finally a clean place, and no one will bully her. It's also good for her illness."
Gu Mang smiled and said, "You're right, you said one, two, three, do you still have four?"
Jiang Yexue bent her fingers slightly, tapped her forehead lightly and thought for a while, then smiled for a while, "Fourth, she is very obedient, she always pushes me out on her own initiative, which is like picking up half a small wheelchair."
Looking at each other and smiling, Mo Xi suddenly turned around by the pool: "The reed leaves have been washed, can I bring them here?"
"Then I will trouble Brother Mo."
Making zongzi is a complicated task. The most popular thing in Chonghua Wangdu is the pillow zongzi. The zongzi leaves are selected from loquat leaves, wild leaves, or reed leaves. The fillings inside are sweet or salty, each has its own. Jiang Yexue is careful and remembers the tastes of everyone present. He went to the market early this morning and bought the freshest ingredients to go home. At this time, the vegetables and meat had been washed and cut well, and they were placed in different categories. In the small pottery jar, the glutinous rice has also been prepared. Yue Chenqing geared up and said excitedly, "It's on! I want to make meat dumplings!"
Xiao Lan'er spoke softly, but she came over with a small bench in her arms: "Well, then I'll make sweet rice dumplings."
Yue Chenqing teased her: "Aren't you going to the stove to make a fire?"
Laner whispered but firmly: "If you don't go, it's not fun to burn fire, but making zongzi is fun..."
Jiang Yexue watched them lively, and sat on the wheelchair with a sideways smile on her face. After a while, she suddenly realized something: "Hey?"
Gu Mang turned his head: "What's wrong?"
"I forgot to take the nine-color thread, I will use it to tie the dumplings later."
"Your legs and feet are inconvenient, where do you put them? I'll take them for you."
Jiang Yexue smiled embarrassedly: "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Gu, the line is in the cupboard in the small hall, the second from the left."
Gu Mang got up and went into the house.
Jiang Yexue's house was very clean and simple, with no other accessories. Gu Mang quickly found the bundle of nine-color silk threads he mentioned in the cabinet. Just as he was preparing to go out, Yu Guang suddenly swept to a tablet in front of the alcove. The sacrificial plaque was black and white, carved from cypress, with a few simple words written on it:
The seat of the late wife Jiang Qin's hibiscus
"..." Gu Mang's footsteps couldn't help but stop, looking at this spiritual card.
Qin Mujin was Jiang Yexue's first wife. When her family suffered, others could not avoid it, but Jiang Yexue still fulfilled the marriage contract she had made with her. After the marriage, the two raised their eyebrows, Qin Se and Ming were also a beautiful couple, but who knew that Qin Mujin would unfortunately die in a battle not long after, and at that time they were only newly married Yaner, and they were most in love. Time.
Because of the short time spent together, Gu Mang did not have a deep impression on Mrs. Qin. What he remembered most clearly was the bride's dress when she got married. She was dressed in a gorgeous red dress that was as bright as a red glow. See her face.
In addition, remember that the bride can drink. She seemed delicate and weak, but she drank all the guests who were drinking with her, and Gu Mang was no exception. After the wedding banquet that day, he faltered a bit, and Mo Xi sent him back at night. But Mo Xi didn't let him go back to his residence, but dragged him home.
At that time, Mo Xi was still living in the old mansion of Mo Mansion. His uncle who had taken power had not yet passed away, and many people in the mansion followed Mo Xi's eyeliner. But Mo Xi didn't know what was wrong. He was suddenly so impulsive that day - there were eyes and ears separated by a wall, but he insisted on entangling Gu Mang on the couch. Gu Mang really drank too much. He kept covering his eyes with his arms. His whole body seemed to be soaked in liquor. He was extremely hot, which made Mo Xi even more out of control. Whether it is necessary to change the night reading lamp or candle, Mo Xi's response was to extinguish the candle in the house, and then more presumptuously bullied the senior brother who did not dare to come out in the dark.
Later, Gu Mang asked Mo Xi what was going mad. After a long silence, Mo Xi told him that he was just envious of Jiang Yexue being able to marry the person he liked.
Gu Mang didn't have any strength at that time, and he couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. There are so many brides in the world, don't you feel emotional every time you see one.
Mo Xi was silent, and after a while, he said, in fact, he still felt that the bride looked over through the red veil, her eyes a little like Gu Mang.
Gu Mang was about to laugh at the reason he forcibly found for his beastly behavior. He said, his eyes are like mine? Why do I think her nose still looks like yours.
Not at all.
Are you saying it's not like it? I look very similar, and the lips still look like Murong Lian.
Not at all.
His face still looks like Murong Chuyi.
…
Mo Xi didn't refute any more, as if he felt that he shouldn't continue arguing with his senior brother who had been bullied so badly by him. But it may also be because Gu Mang's memory has diminished, and he can't remember more conversations.
I don't know how Mo Xi would feel if he saw this spiritual card at this moment. They were still young at that time and thought that as long as they could marry the person they loved, it would be enviable. But who would know that there is still such sadness as a newly married separation in the world.
Maybe people can never survive.
Gu Mang sighed and folded his hands in front of Jiang Qin's spiritual seat and bowed. Anyway, he and Jiang Yexue had a fight. If Qin Mujin was still alive, he should call her sister-in-law. After praying, he glanced at the spirit card again, hesitating whether to say hello to Jiang Yexue, or put on a stick of fragrance or something, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't tell, he didn't feel anything when he first saw the tablet, and after seeing it more, he felt a little uncomfortable—he always felt that there was something more to this tablet.
