Painting Tang

It’s late~ I didn’t expect to have a barbecue for so long. What do you all eat at night?

The fifteenth day of this month coincided with a holiday, and there were a lot of people who came to Yushan to worship Buddha and ask for a lottery. There were already people coming and going in the early morning, and the foot of the mountain could be described as overcrowded by ten o'clock.

Mu Jingchen and Zhen Hui sat in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, Zhen Hui leaned on the railing outside to breathe, and Mu Jingchen cast his eyes on the Buddhist temple halfway up the mountain from time to time.

"Hey! Miss Chen!"

Zhen Hui suddenly found a familiar figure in the crowd downstairs, hurriedly beckoned, and then took a closer look, and there was actually standing beside Chen Shuya's distinguished Mrs. Mu—Zhou Wei!

Mu Jingchen obviously also noticed the two people downstairs, and called Zhen Hui to go down to meet them. He remembered that Chen Shuya's family had always only worshiped the God of Wealth, and Mr. Zou had slandered them many times because of this. Why did he suddenly come to the Buddhist temple with his mother.

Yulin City is stuck between Yushan and Mu's military camp. In other words, Yushan is the place where Mu's army will take the longest time to reach. It is also close to the trade pass in the north, and those who colluded with Lin Yue Most of the foreign businessmen are here, so it is not a place for leisure and entertainment.

"Zhou Yuhui insisted on pulling me to sleep with her last night, so I stayed overnight. This morning, my family sent someone to pick me up, saying that my father had a dinner party near the Banruo Temple at noon. He happened to meet Aunt Mu and wanted to come too. I I asked my aunt to take a car with me."

Chen Shuya explained, Mu Jingchen looked at Zhen Hui after listening, and Zhen Hui nodded. Someone reported Chen Shuya's stay overnight last night, but Mu Jingchen's room door was closed tightly, so he didn't knock on the door to report because of interest.

"The girl from the Chen family has a heart, and she can still remember Yuhui,"

Zhou Wei hugged Chen Shuya's shoulder lovingly, then turned to look at Mu Jingchen:

"Xiaoyu didn't eat anything when she left in the morning, I'm worried..."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Zhen Hui quietly, Zhen Hui immediately understood, smiled and asked Chen Shuya to play in the market downstairs, Chen Shuya was not blind, she knew that Zhou Yu's mother and son had something to say, and She was also willing to stay with Zhen Hui, so she readily accepted the appointment.

It coincides with the Fifteenth Lantern Festival, and there will be a temple fair at the foot of the mountain at night. Although there are no performances during the day, the stalls and hawkers have already left the street, and there are still many things to shop.

Chen Shuya is considered to be the most serious lady in Yulin City, she rarely has the opportunity to go out alone on weekdays, last time she was taken by Zou Yueyin and they quietly climbed to the top of the building to eat a chicken leg, and she was worried for a few times God, I'm afraid I will be preached by my father.Now I can't help being excited when I see the novelties in the market, and I can't help drooling when I look at the candy for a while, and I can't move in front of the monkey man's cage for a while.

"Besides the small gathering at the foot of the mountain, there are barren mountains and wild ridges around the Banruo Temple. It seems that there are no outstanding restaurants. Ms. Chen had better buy some snack pads first, so as not to be full at noon."

Zhen Hui usually haggles over every detail with Mu Jingchen, but when he invites Chen Shuya to eat, he is extremely generous, somewhat influenced by Mu Jingchen, Chen Shuya's gaze stays on something for more than three seconds, and he immediately runs to buy it come to her.

"I don't like this kind of entertainment very much, but my father prefers to let me get in touch with the world early,"

Chen Shuya sighed, and complained to Zhen Hui, "And many of the people he is going to invite at noon today are foreigners. He thinks that I have learned foreign languages, so I can chat with them so that we can get closer."

"Foreign merchants, they really like to get together here."

Zhen Hui thought for a while and made Chen Shuya happy and said, "Then don't say that you and I, the little ones from the Mu family, just went shopping together."

"Why?"

"The group of foreign businessmen and my elder brother have had a long-standing grievance. The Mu family kept them locked up so that they could not make huge profits. The one Chinese character they will never forget in their lifetime is probably 'Mu'."

Zhen Hui and Chen Shuya strolled to the distance one by one, Zhou Yu stood in front of the window and watched Zhen Hui buy a hat for Chen Shuya, couldn't help but smile,

"When you go back, you have to subsidize your little brother's wages."

"The salary I gave him is not low. That kid may have saved more private money than some young masters who like to spend a lot."

Mu Jingchen made a cup of hot tea for Zhou Ruo. His mother didn't like to go out or take a car. If there was no serious matter, she would definitely not make this trip. As expected, Zhou Ruo moistened her throat and said with a worried expression on her face. soundtrack,

"I said this morning to visit girl Yuhui. I also felt sorry for her being neglected for so long. I wanted to take care of her before sending her away. Guess what I saw?"

Zhou Wei always looked towards the Buddhist temple halfway up the mountain. After Yu Tang and Mu Huaiyi and his son went out this morning, she was bored, so she picked up the newly bought pear cake and wanted to see Zhou Yuhui. She entered the room At that time, the two girls in the room were still awake, and Zhou Yuhui was sleeping soundly with Chen Shuya in her arms.

The room hadn't been opened for ventilation for a long time, and Zhou Wei smelled a gray smell, so she wanted to gently open the window for them to breathe. Unexpectedly, a letter with wet ink on the window sill was too eye-catching, and Zhou Wei saw "Yu Xue" at a glance. Son" three big characters, I couldn't hold it back, so I took a few more glances.

She didn't scribble a few words when there was a commotion on the bed, and it was Chen Shuya who woke up first.Zhou Wei smiled awkwardly, and was about to find an excuse, but Chen Shuya pretended not to see it.

Zhou Wei told Mu Jingchen what she had read. She and Mu Huaiyi had never told the juniors about Yu Xueer. Harm Yutang.

"You know Yu Xue'er too."

Mu Jingchen couldn't help frowning, even Zhou Wei's temperament of loving the younger generation was able to keep silent, Yu Xue'er's life was probably really hard before.

"This is also your father's sad..."

Zhou Wei sighed again and again, the old man wanted to be strong, and wanted to always be a role model in Mu Jingchen's heart, and he didn't want his son to know the mistakes he had made, but now this matter has related to Mu Jingchen and Yu Tang, even if the old man will be punished afterwards Angry, she could only confess to Mu Jingchen on her own,

"He hasn't been able to sleep well at night for the past few days, and he frowns and is in a daze when he has nothing to do. Last night, he suddenly said to me that he may have a fate with Xiao Yu, but I'm afraid it's a bad fate that will be hated. ...I didn't understand it at first, until I saw the letter written by Zhou Yuhui... I will definitely not let her send the letter, you don't have to worry about it."

Zhou Wei paused, seeing that Mu Jingchen's expression didn't change much before continuing to explain,

"You should also remember that although your father was rated as a special military worker after returning from Enyi, he was depressed for a long time, and he didn't even dare to face the child he rescued, which is Xue'er. I feel in my heart Strange, at first I didn't ask because of his self-esteem, until I found out that Xue Er was also very afraid of him, I was worried that he had done something evil, so I went to him to settle the score, but guess what, your father is so hard That night the person hugged me and cried all night."

Mu Jingchen was slightly taken aback. He had learned the righteousness and bloodiness from Mu Huaiyi. The father in his heart never shed tears.

"Enyi is mostly a mountainous area. At that time, if your father wanted to suppress the bandits, he had to familiarize himself with the terrain first. He led a small team and sneaked into the mountain forest. He happened to meet a caravan, and that caravan was also afraid of being robbed by horse bandits. Taking care of each other, we just walked together for a few days, until your father stopped a carrier pigeon and found that someone in the team had been tipping off the mountain bandits..."

Hearing this, Mu Jingchen couldn't help tightening his throat, he could almost guess what would happen next, not only his father, but any prudent and responsible officer would be the first to detain the businessmen they met on the road first.

"Hui Yi said that he locked those merchants in the stable for insurance. When he was investigating the suspicion of their own people, there was a sudden gunshot in the stable. Before he had time to rush over, he found that the bandits had heard the signal. They took the initiative to attack and wanted to wipe them out there... The combination of inside and outside was completely messed up. When they finally wiped out the wild bandits who attacked, someone set fire to the stables. It was a traitor in their caravan. Cai killed him, brutally killed the caravan captain, and even wanted to set fire to destroy the corpse, Huaiyi only rescued the captain's youngest daughter in the end."

Zhou Wei shook her head, she could not listen to these evil things of cannibalism, and she felt even more horrified and chilled when she said it.

"Xue'er was actually frightened at that time. Huai Yi said that she kept chanting, saying that before her father died, she told her to find someone to go home to save the family's wife and children, but such a young child experienced After such a thing, my mind has been sober for a long time, and I can't tell where my home is... When Huai Yi took her to Yu's house, it was already riddled with holes and burned to nothing. After returning, Xue My son has been having a fever and being frightened, and her memory is confused. She only thinks that Huai Yi was the one who killed her father. Whenever she saw Huai Yi, she would cry non-stop... It made your father feel even more guilty. In the end, there was no other way. Give the son to relatives to raise."

Mu Jingchen didn't know how to comment for a while, he just felt more and more distressed for Yutang, Yutang was only a young child at that time, what exactly went through to bring Yumian to escape...

The child who should have grown up among the flowers was forced to become an elder brother who dared to chase and beat cockroaches, the young master who was well-clothed was forced to take off his clothes in order to make a living and was repeatedly ridiculed by others, and the person who should have been noble and proud was forced to I have learned to be cautious, like walking on thin ice, to eat half of even an ordinary cake with joy and seriousness, and keep the other half for my younger brother.

"Zhou Yuhui lived with Xueer for a period of time when she was a child. There are no secrets between children. Xueer must have told her this... I also read the things she wrote before I realized that Xiaoyu is really your father. The children who were not saved in time..."

"I'll... pick them up."

Mu Jingchen felt as if a bitter olive was stuck in his throat. When he thought of Yu Tang last night, he could have justly asked if his father killed their whole family, but he could only carefully hide the love that had been hidden for a long time. He confessed frankly that his Yu Tang had been trapped under the unnecessary responsibility of revenge, tormented in the lingering love and hate, and even called his legitimate joy as greed.

"You see, I never mind your father's rare weakness. If the two of you want to live a long and long life, some things must be said as soon as possible, even if it is difficult to speak."

Zhou Wei stuffed the jade bracelet that she and Mu Huaiyi had prepared for their future daughter-in-law many years ago into Mu Jingchen's hand, "Sometimes being too gentle is also an escape, I think your father must have told you what happened back then Yu Tang, now is the time when he needs you."

Mu Jingchen nodded, and it was not too late. It happened that Zhen Hui took Chen Shuya back for a stroll, and Chen Shuya thoughtfully said that she would take Zhou Wei to see the monkey show downstairs, so Mu Jingchen asked them to take care of Zhou Wei first, three steps And climbed halfway up the mountain in two steps.

He should be ecstatic, he is extremely glad that he is the one who can take care of Yutang in the future, and he is the one who has the ability to spoil Yutang again into the kind of sweetheart.

Mu Jingchen's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the stone steps up the mountain. Zhou Wei sighed. Fortunately, he said this dusty heavy stone, but Zhou Yuhui's girl is really worrying, and her thoughts are so vicious. Use Yu Xueer to make a fuss, and put Yutang like a sheep into a tiger's mouth.

"Auntie, do you like to see sugar figurines? How about we go over there and have a look?"

Chen Shuya held Zhou Wei's arm, thinking about making the old lady happy with those novelties in the market.

Zhou Yu repeatedly agreed, and the two of them wandered into the depths of the lively crowd. Zhen Hui followed behind to help them carry the little things they bought, but did not notice the sinister eyes that had been lurking behind them tens of meters .
