Qinghe Pastoral

With doubts in his heart, Lin Mu told the servants in the courtyard that he would stay at the Bai Mansion tonight, and without further delay, the two went directly to Bai Junyan's house.

In order to prevent being seen, Nanny Zhou and Dabao lived in an extremely remote small courtyard. Fortunately, there were only two servants in the White House, which saved some unnecessary troubles.

Bai Junyan still has a few good friends in Dongzhou. I heard that he is going to perform the full moon ceremony today, but he is not at the residence at this time.However, the two people in Baifu had already figured it out, and went to Mrs. Zhou's yard familiarly.

From a distance, I saw Dabao practicing Kung Fu. Dabao was actually very handsome, but his body was a bit burly.These are all because in order to find him, I specially learned some kung fu from a martial artist and practiced it all year round.

Dabao followed Ji Ruixiu for a few days, had seen Ji Ruixiu's kung fu, and pestered Ji Ruixiu to teach him a few moves, and Ji Ruixiu agreed. These days, Dabao has been studying back and forth, and he has indeed made great progress.

"Brother Dabao, it's so cold, you don't have to worry about frostbite anymore."

"The young master is here. Dabao is in good health. Young master Ji will show me when he has time to see if there are any deficiencies."

When Dabao saw the two coming, his face was full of smiles, making him look even more immature.

"Row."

With Ji Ruixiu's response, Dabao was even more happy, put on the outer clothes thrown on the stone steps, and led the two of them inside.

Although the winter in Dongzhou is not as cold as in Qinghe Village, it is still freezing. Mrs. Zhou is getting old, and the house is full of charcoal and fire. Seeing the two coming, she was smiling.

"It's just in time. Your uncle said early on that he wanted to eat potato balls. I remember you also liked to eat potato balls when you were young. They were fried a lot, and it's best to eat them while they're hot."

As the saying goes, a nephew is like an uncle, Lin Mu and Bai Junyan not only look alike, but also taste the same.

"I still have a good fortune."

The fried meatballs are golden and translucent. When you take a bite, the outside is crispy and crispy, but the inside is fragrant and soft potatoes, which suits Lin Mu's stomach very well.

"By the way, nanny, did I love lotus flower cakes when I was young?"

"No, I remember that there is a mother Qi in the mansion who is very good at making these dim sums. My wife often asks her to make them and bring them here. Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Last night, the Mufu was haunted by ghosts, and they all pointed out that the female ghost was my mother. I thought that someone must be pretending to be a ghost, but I felt that I was asked to investigate the matter of my mother's death. Just now, Aunt Zhang from the mansion brought that mother Qi to the door. Come on, tell me that I loved to eat lotus flower cakes when I was a child, and talk about the ghosts last night, what kind of grievances, etc. Does this mother Qi have anything to do with us?"

"I don't have much friendship, but every time the lady gives a lot of rewards, maybe I don't necessarily remember such benefits."

"maybe n bar 0,

Lin Mu didn't get any useful information from Nanny Zhou, so Lin Mu stopped talking about it.

It was late at night, and the candles in the room were brightly lit. Lin Mu lay on the bed with his eyes open, and he was not sleepy anyway.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the room was pushed open, and Lin Mu sat up in shock, but when he heard Ji Ruixiu's voice, Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

It was late at night and the dew was heavy, Ji Ruixiu was afraid that Lin Mu would get cold, so he took off his outer clothes? After practicing for a week, he lay down on the bed and habitually hugged Lin Mu into his arms.

"How, did the ghost show up tonight?"

Although he knew Ji Ruixiu's ability, Lin Mu was still worried. Now, lying in his familiar arms, his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Yes, she appeared in the "Qinchun Garden" tonight, and just happened to be bumped into by Mu Xianshao. Her exclamation drew both Mu Kang and Wang Dong out, and then drifted away. I followed from a distance , he went around in a big circle and entered a dilapidated house, and then a young man came out, and he finally entered "Jingxuan"."

"It's her? No wonder what she said today always feels different, but why did she do this?"

"Perhaps she really knows something. Tomorrow is your "homecoming feast" and you want to get all the dowry back. She must be able to see something. Let's find a time to show our cards."

Although I don't know why Aunt Zhang did this, but I am sure that she knows some past events, not to mention whether it is to seek revenge for Bai Junyu, if she can really get some evidence from her, it will be worth it.

"Well, it's so cold outside, thank you for your hard work."

"Fool, for you, I would do anything."

The corner of Lin Mu's mouth was smiling, even though the cold wind was howling outside, Lin Mu's heart seemed to be soaked in hot springs, no matter how much he had suffered in the past, meeting Ji Ruixiu, everything was worth it.

On the second day, thinking that today is a "homecoming banquet", the two of them got up very early.Even Bai Junyan rarely wore luxurious clothes, crowned with a hair crown, matched with white clothes, and after finding Lin Mu, he swept away the haze of the past, he was really a magnificent young man

"Uncle is so pretty."

Because of these eyes, the uncle and nephew had different looks. Lin Mu was smart and handsome, but Bai Junyan was worthy of handsomeness. Lin Mu thought that his uncle was still young, so such a gorgeous person should find a lover.

In the past, Bai Junyan's reputation was even better than Bai Junyu's, and many nobles even fell in love with him, but Bai Junyan's temperament was completely opposite to his appearance, and those people could only be rejected.

"Naughty ghost, from now on you can only say that uncle is handsome, understand?"

Bai Junyan doesn't like others to say that he is handsome, and always feels that he is too girly, but it's just his own nephew saying it, so he can't get angry at all.

"Yes, nephew is wrong, uncle is ready, let's go."

Hearing Ji Ruixiu say that the Mu Mansion was haunted again last night, I thought it was another rumor, but I didn't think that the Mu Mansion is in order today, and the servants and maids shuttled through it, all busy for today's banquet.

"The young master is back. Just now the master sent some things over, saying that everything is ready for today. When the young master is dressed up, he will go to the old man's courtyard."

"understood."

Seeing the three of them entered the house, Tao Fei's eyeballs were about to pop out, this uncle is really handsome today, even the third young lady can't compare to him.

"What are you dazed about?"

As soon as Dasheng came, he saw Taofei's young girl looking like spring, and thought it was because he saw the young master, Ji Ruixiu's indifferent face flashed in his mind, and he shivered for a while.

"Don't think about it, Young Master Chen is not something you can imagine. You are not afraid of Young Master Ji's aura."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Uncle Bai really looks like a god today."

Dasheng entered the mansion early. In the past, Bai Junyan was indeed able to afford the appearance of a celestial being, but these years have changed a lot, and he is no longer as vigorous as before. His spirit has gone down, and even his appearance is not as good as before.

"That Young Master Bai used to be a well-known handsome man in Dongzhou. I see that the young master hasn't bloomed yet. After two or three years, he will definitely look better than now. Come on, what day is it today, don't think about it here and there. , go to work."

Taofei didn't dare to think about it any more, and went to work on her own affairs, while in the room, the three people who had been infatuated for a while were staring at the things Mu Kang sent.

It was a well-tailored ivory white gown, the most expensive material in Dongzhou, plus the jade inlaid hair crown, it seemed that Mu Kang was afraid that others would underestimate him, and wanted to show his dignity.

"When I saw this dress, I thought of the cloud silk brocade ivory white gown. It's a pity."

In the fire accident, Ji Ruixiu only took the valuables, but his clothes were burned, not only the clothes, but also the red wolf cloak, the more he thought about it, the more distressed he became.

"When I get home, I'll cut two more pieces for you."

"You can wear the clothes as soon as you wear them, but forget about the jade crown."

In the past ten years, Lin Mu has been living in the countryside, and he has gotten used to Jian Yi Su Mian. He has no intention of dressing himself up like a peacock in order to cater to Mu Kang.

After changing their clothes and guessing the time, the three of them went to Mukang's yard.

In the courtyard, not only Mu Kang, Wang Hui, Mu Xianrao, even Zhang Wanqing and another concubine were among them.

Knowing the mastermind behind the haunting, Lin Mu subconsciously glanced at Zhang Wanqing, but saw Zhang Wanqing's gaze resting on Bai Junyan, but moved away after a while, he didn't realize that Lin Mu was looking at her.

"Why did you go to your uncle's house last night?"

"It's just that I miss my uncle, and it's also because the mansion is not peaceful."

Mu Kang couldn't answer for a while, he saw the haunting with his own eyes last night, thinking about what happened today, he would find a mage to do a ritual, otherwise the house would be disturbed.

"Uncle today is quite as charming as he was back then, I don't know how many boys and girls will be fascinated again."

As expected of being an official for more than ten years, Mu Kang quickly found a new topic and covered up the embarrassment just now.

"In any case, today's nephew is the protagonist."

"Uncle is as handsome and extraordinary as Chen'er, I see that Chen'er is going to make the young master and miss of Dongzhou Quan's rich family lose their soul today.

After Wang Hui finished speaking, she covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, but her eyes were full of smiles, which seemed to be sincere.

"With the third lady here, I don't need to worry about this. Besides, I'm already engaged, and I'm going to get married in August this year."

As soon as Lin Mu finished speaking, Mu Xianrao, who was smiling, immediately changed his face. Even Mu Kang was a little unhappy, but Wang Hui seemed to be fine, and still greeted people with a smile.

"Then congratulations to you two, you two are truly a match made in heaven."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Wanqing just smiled and didn't speak, but this smile was sincere.

"If anyone who doesn't have eyesight dares to covet me, I will make him unable to call out his parents."

I thought this matter had already passed with Zhang Wanqing's congratulations, but Ji Ruixiu suddenly said such a sentence, Wang Hui's whole body was haired by Ji Ruixiu's stare, and Mu Kang's unrelieved face was even more ugly because of this sentence.

Lin Mu grabbed Ji#xiu's generous palm, Wang Hui intended to provoke them, but Ji Ruixiu was really angry.

Seeing the intimacy of the two, Mu Kang almost breathed a sigh of relief, but because the father and son had known each other for a few days, Mu Xianshao had his head down and couldn't see clearly, but she wanted to twist the handkerchief If you look bad, you must feel bad in your heart.

"Master, Zhongqin is waiting."

"Seriously, please come in."

Mu Kang looked excited and stood up from his seat, which shows how powerful this Lord Hou is.Lin Mu thought about a homecoming banquet and Lord Hou?But he didn't notice Bai Junyan's expression that was not quite right.
