prince attendant

It’s just that looking back, before the two parties expressed their views, they first waited for an anonymous invitation card to stop at Yunshan, which said that Mu Qing was invited to meet at Jingquan Teahouse tomorrow to discuss important matters. It was written in thin and delicate handwriting, between the lines , There is a kind of restrained eagerness, even too eager, even without writing the signature.

Not only did he not sign his name, he seemed not to want others to know his identity, and even when the letter was delivered, he came and went in a hurry when the sky was not yet clear. , only know that it is a woman.

Mu Qing looked at the invitation and thought about it for a while. The crowd was so messed up and whimsical that they even thought of Mu Qing going to the appointment, but the other party was the prince's political opponent who deliberately lured him to go. Furious and exaggerated, he couldn't bear the audio-visual analysis, but decided to go and see who invited him.

It's just that facing the eyes of everyone before leaving, Mu Qing always felt that she was not going to the appointment, but to die, so she said helplessly

"It's just to meet someone, and it's in Jingquan Tea House, which is considered a busy place. Don't act as if I'm gone and never come back."

"Being defensive is essential, and it's not impossible..."

Someone was muttering, and the voice became smaller and smaller under Mu Qing's speechless gaze, and finally couldn't stand such a direct look and immediately hid behind the person next to him.

Mu Qing went to the banquet, he had some guesses in his mind, he thought it was Lord Mei's daughter, or someone related to the prince came to find him, but when he arrived at the agreed place, he saw the girl waiting in the house People, it's a bit surprising.

Because the person waiting for him turned out to be Miss Bailu whom he met because of a wrong tune when he went to Chaomu Lane earlier.

However, since that time, he has never been to Chaomu Lane again, so why did he suddenly come to find himself.

Bai Lu was sitting in front of the table in a daze, but when she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned around and saw that it was Mu Qing coming in, she showed a relaxed expression, stood up quickly again, went to meet Mu Qing, and said

"Master Mu, I was afraid that you would not come to the appointment, thank you for coming."

Mu Qing walked to a table and chair beside her and sat down. Seeing her shape, she asked

"I don't know if Miss Bailu invited me to come here, what's the matter?"

Bai Lu looked at him, then sat up straight, and said

"Young master, please redeem yourself as a slave!"

When Bai Lu was speaking, she knelt on the ground all of a sudden, such abrupt words and deeds startled Mu Qing, and when she realized it, she quickly helped her up, and said

"Please tell me if you have anything to do."

However, Bai Lu's eyes were already tearful, she followed his strength and stood up, sat on the stool beside her, raised her head to look at Mu Qing again, cried and said

"Mr. Mu, I know this is difficult, but I can think of you as the only person who can save me. Please save my family. My aunt wants me to sell myself to someone else. I really have no choice but to come and find me. You, if you redeem your body for me, in this life and in the next life, Bai Lu will be a cow and a horse to repay you."

Mu Qing: ...

Mu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why did one or two redemptions find her, did she look like a person who likes to save Fengchen?

He sat on the other side, helplessly

"I don't need anyone to be an ox or a horse for me. Besides, I'm just a person of low status. How can I redeem myself for you?"

Bai Lu immediately shook her head and said hastily

"Don't pay money, Mr. Mu. I have a treasure box, and the money in it is enough to redeem me. I will give you the treasure box. Please go to the building to redeem me."

Mu Qing looked at her, a little puzzled

"Since you have money, you can just redeem yourself."

Bai Lu shook her head again, the tears accumulated in her eyes fell, she sobbed and said

"It wasn't mine, but it was given to me by sister Jian Jia. She got a sudden illness and was kicked out by her aunt. She withheld everything from half her life. It's just this treasure box that I saved secretly and gave it to me in a hurry earlier. Me, I said that if I find a sweetheart, I can get away directly. However, I don’t need a sweetheart. I just want to take good care of her. I dare not tell others, for fear of being snatched away, and I don’t know anyone. , so I can only come to you."

Mu Qing heard her say so many words like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, she just felt dizzy for a while, knowing in her heart that she believed that she would help, but said helplessly

"Aren't you afraid that I will run away with your things?"

"You won't."

Bai Lu looked up at Mu Qing, and said

"Although it was only less than a quarter of an hour when you found me, I know you are a good person. Besides, you are in such a hurry, is it because you think I am like your friend?"

How could you bear to leave your friend in trouble? Bai Lu didn't say this sentence, she just looked at the young man with tears in her eyes. She secretly inquired for a few days before she found out who he was, and she made a long time of mental preparation. It was almost with the idea that if you don't succeed, you will succeed, so you sent out the invitation letter.

The bet is her future, and the heart of Mr. Mu.

Naturally, Mu Qing didn't know that she was inquiring about him, but after listening to what she said that day, he couldn't help thinking of his little sister, and couldn't help but compare the two, so he couldn't say anything to refuse, but he couldn't do it easily. Redemption is easy for this matter, but the follow-up is difficult, so she just kept silent. Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Lu thought he didn't believe her, so she said again

"If you don't believe me, son, please go to a place with me."

Mu Qing looked at her, and Bai Lu said

"I went to see my elder sister Jian Jia. She also said that if I find someone to redeem me, I must let her meet first."

Mu Qing couldn't refuse, so she had to follow her to the so-called place where her sister lived. On the way, Bai Lu explained the reason to him. The people in her family frequently yelled at her, made fun of her, and she almost had the idea of ​​her own life, so she met this girl Jianjia. For many years, only this sister Jianjia treated her very well, but the good times didn't last long, and Jianjia suffered from tuberculosis. , was ruthlessly kicked out, and after all kinds of hardships, she only found a dilapidated courtyard with no one to live in temporarily. Bai Lu was extremely unwilling to pick up customers to make money, and spent a few days in distress. Seeing that the time was up and there was no other way, she had no choice but to ask Mu Qing to save her from the sea of ​​suffering.

The courtyard was at the end of the alley, a dilapidated house, and he came to the place while speaking, opened the door, and saw ruined walls and overgrown weeds, and the courtyard was filled with a smell of bitter medicine.

The hall was dilapidated, only an old cloth curtain hung in front of the main hall door, and when she got to the door, Bai Lu took out a Supa from her sleeve to pass to Mu Qing, and said

"The smell in the house is strong, my sister has tuberculosis, please cover your mouth and nose."

Mu Qing didn't refuse either, just holding it in her hand, Bai Lu had already lifted the curtain, a strong and bitter air pierced her ears and nose, and she heard bursts of muffled coughing.

After walking in, she saw a curtain of long hair hanging beside the bed. It turned out that the woman bent down, half of her body leaned out of the bed, coughing badly, Bai Lu hurried over, poured water and made tea, Fufu took a few breaths, fed her water, saw that she had recovered, pulled the quilt from the bed and folded it on the head of the bed, asked her to lean on it, worked for a while, and then said

"Sister, I found a benefactor who redeemed me, and I can concentrate on taking care of you from now on!"

Saying this, he helped the woman to sit up and looked at Mu Qing, saying

"Sister, this is your benefactor, Mr. Mu."

Mu Qing saw her face, and she could vaguely see the woman's romantic demeanor when she was young, but now her face was haggard, her eyes were sunken, and she looked straight at Mu Qing, trying to see through his soul.

After a while, he looked away again, coughed heavily, then held Bai Lu's wrist, a tear flowed from his red eye socket, and sighed softly

"Silly girl...cough! What are you doing with me, a dying person?"

"elder sister!"

Bai Lu hugged her, sobbed, and said

"Sister, you have to be good and don't say these things. I don't want to serve those stinky men. My sister gave me the treasure box so that I can redeem myself. After that, I will depend on my sister for life. How can my sister say these things?" If you abandon me."

"I gave you that box... cough, to tell you, cough, to let you live a good life, oh, help me up."

Saying this, she was about to get out of bed with Bai Lude's support. Mu Qing saw that she was having difficulty moving and wanted to say something to herself, so she hurriedly said

"Girl, please feel free to say something, don't bother."

Jian Jia probably had no strength left, so she just sat down and waved her hands again, telling Bai Lu to let go of herself, then sat on the bed, and kowtowed slowly towards Mu Qing, Mu Qing hurried over and was about to Helping her, Jian Jia waved her hand and said

"Young Master Mu, please don't come close. I only need to say a few words, so please invite Young Master Mu to go out."

Mu Qing stopped, looked at her and said

"You say."

Jian Jia coughed heavily again, took a few deep breaths, lifted her spirits, and said

"I grew up in a crowd of people in my life, and I met a lot of people. I can tell at a glance... I can tell what my heart is. Mr. Mu is a good person. It is Bailu's luck to meet you. Thank you Mr. Mu for your help. , I, cough cough cough..."!

She spoke halfway, but couldn't continue, she just coughed out of breath, and waved her hands again, Bai Lu understood what she meant, so she asked Mu Qing to go out first, and fed Jian Jia the cold medicine left over earlier, Lie down with support, and then go out the door.

Standing at the door, Mu Qing listened to Xu Xu's voice inside, and when Bai Lu came out, they looked at each other, Bai Lu smiled wryly, sniffed, and said

"Let Mr. Mu laugh."

Enduring the tears, I couldn't hold back the tears, and they fell down in a rustle, so I squatted aside and cried, and said

"Mr. Mu, why do you think this is? Why did my sister suffer from this incurable disease?"

But he held back his voice, probably because he was afraid that the people inside would hear it.

Mu Qing couldn't answer this question, there is no reason in this world, there are many things without reason, and life is always unsatisfactory.

However, Bai Lu didn't want an answer, she was just suddenly vented when someone listened to her, she cried for a while, then wiped her tears, stood up again, and walked towards the half-broken vat beside her.
