Qinghe Pastoral

After making a fuss for most of the night, when we arrived at the new inn, it was already daylight, and a few people didn't even feel like sleeping.

Drinking the hot tea brought by Xiao Er, Lin Mu didn't hide anything, and told everything he remembered.

"You mean, the person we met on the street today was the one who saved you and Dabao?"

The past is just a sad thing, and the fire is even more frightening. It doesn't matter if Lin Mu can't remember it for the rest of his life.

"That's right, even though I was young, this matter is too deep for me, and I won't remember it wrongly. At that time, we suspected that Wang Hui set the fire to kill me. Now, I am sure it was her who did it. That evening , the maid next to Wang Hui brought me black-bone ginseng soup to replenish my body. I thought it was hot and refused to drink it, so I gave it to Brother Dabao. Now I think the soup must be drugged. Courtyard, if we bribe the servant girl in my courtyard, Brother Dabao and I are unconscious again, then we will be buried in this fire."

"Yes, Dabao clearly either fell asleep or passed out that day. At that time, the young master was in a daze. Our husband and wife thought that Dabao fainted because of the fire, but we never expected that the poisonous woman would arrange things a little bit." No leakage."

At that time, the scene was chaotic. Although the mysterious man said that the Mu family was dangerous, Mrs. Zhou and the others really never thought that the fire was calculated from the diet.

"If it wasn't for that man, brother Dabao and I would have died in that fire, and when you went, nanny, would there be no servants willing to go in and save me?"

"Indeed."

"I'm the son of a legitimate son, and they are slaves. If I die, how will the general family deal with these slaves who can't protect their master, and how will the Mu family deal with them?"

"At that time, Wang Hui said that several members of the Mu family had already died. If they were to deal with these servants again, they would really be filled with resentment. It seems that they were just left to the Zhuangzi."

"Everything is already so obvious. If he replaces my mother as the main wife and kills me, then his son will be the eldest son of the Mu family, and my mother's dowry will naturally become theirs, but she never thought that there would be Such an accident, you said, when I appeared in front of her healthy and healthy, would she think she had run into a ghost?"

Lin Mu was just stating the facts, but Ji Ruixiu's words were so harsh to Ji Ruixiu's ears, no matter what the purpose of that person was, he should be very grateful.

"But who is he? Has my nephew seen him in Mufu? Why did he appear here? Could it be that he is from the town?

"We are not familiar with this place, and he may just be passing by. For now, let's go to Dongzhou first. As for this person, let's pay some money and ask people from all over the world to find him. He just appeared here yesterday. I believe they can find him soon. out."

Ji Ruixiu's words are reasonable, and they have no objection. They want to reach Dongzhou as soon as possible. Many things and clues can only be found out there.

The government in this town is quite efficient in handling affairs, but within half a day they found out the cause of the leak.It turned out that the man who lived in the stairwell went out to the willow alley in the middle of the night to seek pleasure, and opened the window again before the candle was lit, which caused it.

The guest was a wealthy owner, and he had a good attitude of admitting his mistake, and he was willing to compensate for all losses, so the government fined him some money and let him go.

All of their important belongings were on their bodies, and what was burned were only some clothes. After finding out the reason, they continued on their way without stopping.

From Qinghe Village to Dongzhou is not as hard as going to Huazhou. Without him, they can find a place to stay along the way. They don't have to live in the wilderness, and they can have hot meals, which saves a lot of travel and fatigue.

At noon on the sixth day, a group of them entered Dongzhou City.

Dongzhou is very famous in the Dayu Dynasty. It has both the tenderness of water and the magnificence of mountains. It is a fairyland written by many literati and a paradise for many businessmen.Not only that, there are beauties and famous officials from Dongzhou, and the pure imperial concubine is the only favorite on the pilgrimage because of her fairy-like appearance and outstanding talent, and this pure imperial concubine is from Dongzhou.

Dongzhou has an excellent geographical climate and was an important grain-producing area during the Dayu Dynasty. The unique "Wufan Rice" was a tribute and an important sugar-producing resort.Maritime trade is as developed as land trade, so many people want to get a share of the land in Dongzhou, and Dongzhou is not as hot as Huazhou, so many powerful people live here.Apart from Kyoto, Dongzhou is the second place where the rich and powerful are concentrated.

When the Bai family was overthrown, the servants were scattered and sold. Although the mansion was left behind, no one lived in it, and it was very desolate.Later, Bai Junyan came back from the battlefield and bought two servants. In the past few years, although he often wandered around, he has gained popularity after all.

The attendant was obviously very happy to see Bai Junyan came back, and was surprised to see that Lin Mu looked so much like his master.

Now they have no evidence in hand, even if Lin Mu returns to Mu's house as Mu Xianrun, he still needs to wait for time, and wait for a few witnesses to be caught to make Wang Hui indisputable before he can make a fatal blow.

The Mu family must go back, and her mother's dowry must also be taken back, but before that, it is necessary to find out the current situation in the Mu residence and prepare well before going.

The two servants of the Bai family only knew superficially about the affairs of the Mu family, thinking that teahouses and restaurants would be the perfect place to inquire about things. After a rest, Ji Ruixiu and Lin Mu left the Bai residence.

The two wandered aimlessly in the street for a while, and picked out a teahouse with unique decorations. The waiter saw the extraordinary bearing of the two of them, and came over to greet them very hospitablely.

When Xiao Er was serving tea, Lin Mu inadvertently asked, "Xiao Er, we two brothers came from Chongzhou. I don't know where the most interesting place in Dongzhou is. What's going on recently?"

"The guest officer asked me the right person, but..."

The mistress hesitated to speak, but the meaning was self-evident. Ji#xiu took out a silver coin, and the mistress grinned.

"We Dongzhou has outstanding people, and the beautiful scenery is innumerable. It's like asking about the fairy mountain. The mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, and the Buddhist temple in the mountain is the most effective; or Bihai Lake, the water is so clear. In summer, the lotus is in full bloom. Touring the lake by boat, How wonderful, there are too many places like this. Speaking of the recent major events, there is one thing. The wife of Mr. Zhoufu heard that she had a red and green plum blossom, which is rare in the world. She invited the wife of a wealthy family in Dongzhou I went to admire the plum blossoms, but I heard that I want to find a husband for the second miss of the Mu family."

"Oh, Mrs. Mu must be the daughter of a wealthy family."

Hearing Lin Muru's question, the little girl turned her head to look left and right, then lowered her voice and said, "The current Mrs. Mu is just a continuation. Mrs. Mu's first wife was the eldest lady of the Bai family, the richest man in Dongzhou. In the wedding battle, the red makeup, copperplate candy scattered all the way, what a grand, but then the Bai family collapsed, I heard that the Bai family's daughter had a difficult labor when she gave birth, and she died twice, and what's worse, the serious son of the Mu family also died in the fire , It’s also miserable.” After finishing speaking, Xiao Er also had a sad expression on his face.

"That's quite pitiful. The current wife of the Mu family must be beautiful and virtuous, right?"

"No, the manners are excellent, and she often follows Princess Sheng, and her two sons and daughters are all promising. The son of Mu's eldest son has become an official in the capital. I heard that he is very honorable in front of the Holy One. That lady It is the appearance of heaven and man, and the number of people who seek to marry is countless.

The little girl seemed to think of Miss Mu's charm, and she was a little crazy. Lin Mu looked at it and wondered, in front of such stunning beauty?From his vague memory, Wang Hui is indeed charming, and Mu Kang is also considered handsome, and he is the daughter of a wealthy family.

"The lady of the Mu family is really so beautiful, I don't know when is the flower viewing party in Mu's mansion?"

"It's not an exaggeration for a fairy to go down to earth, but there must be invitations for the flower viewing feast. Although the young master can't get in, it's okay to tell you the time, and it will be in three days."

"Oh, but if there is anything else interesting, tell us."

Seeing that the two young masters were enjoying listening to it, the second child also felt that he had spoken well, and told them a lot of interesting stories about famous people in Dongzhou

Lin Mu thought that there was nothing else that could be found in the market. After drinking a pot of tea, he rewarded the waiter with another ingot of silver. The two sent them outside, and when they left, they didn't forget to say that they would come again next time

In the evening, Mrs. Zhou cooks in person and cooks a table of authentic Dongzhou dishes. She is not as uncomfortable as living in an inn. They have a great appetite and have a full meal.

Mrs. Zhou was quite old, and she was really tired after traveling all the way, so she went down to rest after eating, leaving uncle and nephew Lin Mu and Ji Ruixiu behind.

"What useful news can I find out today?"

"Except for some common things, Wang Hui will hold a flower viewing banquet in three days. I have made up my mind. I will go back to Mu's house in three days and give her a feast."

A big surprise. "

"Then, how to explain what happened back then?"

"My nephew thinks this way. Now that Wang Hui is infatuated with Princess Sheng, her son is capable and her daughter is beautiful. Besides, she has ruled the Mu family for ten years, and her position can be said to be very stable. Before Wang Gui and Fen'er found her, Zhou The nanny and Dabao brother should not show up, so they said that I ran out for fun that day and was kidnapped by someone. Yihao met my uncle and was able to come back. As for the deed in my hand, she said that my mother told me where I hid. I can take it out now."

This is also a decision that Lin Mu has thought about for a long time, because he is still young, and many things are vaguely remembered, but Bai Junyu's gentle appearance clearly appeared in his mind.The sound of the baby was once her kind call, he hated Wang Hui even more, and resented Mu Kang even more, but if he told the matter rashly, with Wang Hui's current status, Mu Kang would believe it or not, even if he believed it. For the sake of Mu Xianhua's future and his own reputation, he will also stop them.

The best way at present is to make them think that Dabao died in the fire that year, and he was abducted by human teeth, and has never

can come back.

"This is the only way to go now, I hope those people can be found out as soon as possible."

Bai Junyan's hope is their hope, no one wants to make circles with the Mu family, nor do they want to act in this play, but there is no evidence

It can only be patient.
