Seven's secret

Time is something that sometimes gives people a distorted illusion.

The last time Murong Qing saw Murong Jin was only half a year ago, but it seemed to him that it had been a long, long time.From the outside, Murong Jin is almost the same as the one in his memory, but when he sees him standing at the gate of "Six or Seven", Murong Qing has the illusion that he seems to have passed away.

Murong Jin, Murong He, Murong's old house like a ghost house, the clump of green bamboo outside the carved wooden window, Uncle Shitou, Aunt Shitou lame, the black cat lying on the eaves and wagging its tail... Seeing Murong Jin, he It was only then that I realized that I hadn't recalled these things for a long time.

Du Hai saw that this person didn't look like a customer who came to the door. Although he knew Murong Qing, but seeing Murong Qing's expression was colder than ordinary customers, he didn't know how to greet him for a while.Just when his cell phone rang, Du Hai used the pretext of calling to hide away.

As soon as Du Hai walked away, only Murong Qing and Murong Jin were left in the store, and the atmosphere became more and more weird.In winter, it gets dark early and it is cloudy again. The street lamps outside are turned on early, and the dim light illuminates the few figures passing by on the street. There is an indescribable silence.

Murong let out a sigh of relief, "Mr. Murong is here, what can I do?"

Murong Jin has been staring at him since he entered the door, with a lot of emotion in his eyes, "Xiaoqi, do we have to talk like this?"

Murong pointed to the wall clock on the wall of the hall expressionlessly, "Sorry, it's not time for me to get off work. If Mr. Murong doesn't have any business, it's inconvenient for me to tell you too much."

Murong Jin subconsciously glanced in the direction of his finger, but his attention was more on Murong Qing's finger.He remembered that when they were all very young, he often held his hand and ran to play. At that time, Xiao Qi was thin and small, and a group of children ran wildly all over the mountains, and he was always the last one behind .If he didn't pull him, Xiao Qi would not be able to keep up in a while.

In fact, at that time, the children in the old house were not very happy to play with the Xiaoqi brothers.The old house is such a big place, and no one knows what is going on in the house.Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi are the children brought in. This is not the most unlucky thing. The most unlucky thing is that not long after the two of them brought them back, the fourth uncle's wife became pregnant, and the next year they had their own son.In this way, the brothers are worthless.

Murong Jin didn't know what other parents' parents told their children. Anyway, every time he came back from the field, his mother would pinch his ears and scold him, "What are you doing with those two wild children? It's not yours." Serious brother. When you have that time, you spend more time with the brothers of the second and third uncles..."

That's probably what the adults said at that time, that's why the children rejected this pair of nominal cousins ​​so unanimously.In fact, thinking about it now, Xiaoliu Xiaoqi's status in the Murong family is even more embarrassing than those orphans who were simply adopted.Those children were brought up individually, and they were also very cuddly, with a very clear line between them and the young masters and young ladies in the family.Only Little Six and Little Seven don't belong to either camp.

And then……

Murong Jin sighed, "Xiao Qi, I'm here this time to invite you to go back to the old house to celebrate the New Year."

The Murong family has this tradition. People from all over the world have to go back to their old houses during the Spring Festival. Traditional aristocratic families always stubbornly maintain their deep-rooted traditions, which will not easily change with the passage of time.In addition to identity recognition, it is more important to take this opportunity to reshuffle the status of each household in the family business. Many personnel transfers are usually announced at this time.For the Murong family, there is no activity more important than going back to the old house at the end of the year to celebrate the New Year.

Murong Jin looked at him with hope in his eyes. He remembered the scene when a group of children huddled together in the yard of the main house and set off firecrackers when he was young. The sight of a cluster of bright fireworks blooming in his pupils made his heart tremble slightly.

Murong Qing's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at the inexplicable man in front of him with a look of ghostly eyes, "Murong Jin, have you forgotten what Murong He said? Xiao Liu and I, in this life, are both It has nothing to do with the Murong family."

Murong Jin blinked, feeling a trace of coldness rushing up quickly along the soles of his feet.Of course he remembered what Murong He said when he was dying, but he always thought that Murong He said this out of some kind of despicable desire for monopoly, and wanted to send Xiao Qi to a place where no one in Murong's family could see him. The arrangement was not entirely out of Murong Qing's original intention.In his opinion, the Murong Qing brothers were working alone outside, so they would not let a backer like Murong's family go?Especially now that Murong Qing is still helping others manage the antique shop, if he has the support of Murong's family, he is not incompetent, so he might as well try to open a shop by himself.

"Xiao Qi," Murong Jin subconsciously took two steps forward, "I used to be sorry for you, but now I have the ability to make it up to you. You are also in this business, you must know the Murong family... "

"What's wrong with Murong's family?" Murong looked at him lightly, "Without the backing of Murong's family, would I definitely starve to death?"

Murong Jin didn't expect that Xiao Qi really wanted to sever ties with the Murong family, so he was a little shocked.He knew that Murong Qing hated him, but he thought that Murong Qing would not refuse the proposal of going back to the old house with him for the New Year. After all, such an invitation meant the Murong family's recognition of his identity—in the antique business, who would not give it to Murong? How good is the family?Murong Qing would not be ignorant of this.

Murong Qing's eyes showed a little bit of pleasure, "Murong He has already crossed out the names of me and Xiaoliu from the family tree. Don't you know? So..." He emphasized his tone, "Mr. Murong, we The two brothers have nothing to do with your family in this life."

Murong Qing's attitude was completely different from what he expected. Murong Jin felt that it was a little tricky, and his eyebrows were tightly frowned, "Xiaoqi, you are also an adult, I hope you can look at this problem rationally. I know you You still hate me, but continuing to hate me won't bring you any benefits. On the contrary, the Murong family..."

"Thank you, no need." Murong Qing said a word of thanks without sincerity, and then began to pick up a rag to do hygiene.The weather outside is very cloudy, I don't know if it will snow at night.In such weather, you should go home early, and you'd better get some hot pot to eat.

Murong Jin sighed, "Xiaoqi, we used to be friends..."

It's good that he didn't mention this, when he heard the word "friend" from his mouth, Murong Qing's whole body exploded, all the things that he was desperately suppressing spewed out at this moment, before he could react Before that, the rag in his hand was thrown towards Murong Jin's face.

Murong Jin was suddenly hit by something head-on, and hurriedly dodged to the side, and the thing flew out with a burst of moisture rubbing against his ears.

Murong was so angry that his whole body was trembling, he looked left and right, picked up half a basin of water on the ground, and ran towards Murong Jin, "Bastard, how dare you mention me as a friend!"

In winter, if you really want to be poured cold water on your body, it will be more than just ugly.Murong Jin stepped back quickly, calling Xiao Qi's name, "Calm down!"

The basin and water slammed into the street with a bang, startling a middle-aged man who passed by. He stopped and looked at it suspiciously, then walked away on his own with his hands clasped.

Although Murong Jin hid quickly, the corners of his coat were still covered with water. He looked at the stainless steel basin rattling around at his feet in a bit of embarrassment, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.He sincerely wanted to compensate Murong Qing, but he didn't expect him to be so ungrateful.

Murong Qing stood at the door of the store and trembled angrily, "I was too stupid to be stabbed in the back by you. But no matter how stupid I am, I will never give you a chance to stab me again. Murong Jin, if you think Back then, you didn’t destroy Lao Tzu thoroughly enough, so you can come here and see if I’m still afraid of you now. I, a commoner, can’t do anything to you. At worst, it’s my life. If you want it, take it!”

Murong Jin looked slightly embarrassed, "Xiaoqi, I really mean it..."

"Fuck your mother's kindness! If you are a whore, don't set up an archway!" Murong said softly, "I know a lot about the dirty things in your family, and I will give it to you if it makes me anxious. Shake it out in the media! Let everyone see what kind of male thieves and female prostitutes are inside after peeling off the painted skin of the aristocratic family!"

Murong Jin had never seen Murong Qing look so crazy, he looked at Murong Qing with heavy eyes.After a while, he lowered his head and sighed, turned around and left without saying a word.

Murong lightly looked at the lonely stainless steel basin outside the door, his hands and feet were cold, and his chest was pounding.Ever since he left Pinganji, he had been thinking about avoiding these people, but he still couldn't.He couldn't figure it out, since Murong Jin did such a disgusting thing back then, wouldn't it be enough to hurt him once?Still want to count him a second time?

How could this person be so shameless?

What good intentions, what compensation... Damn, his good intentions are nothing more than the fact that now that he is rich and powerful, he wants to use some vain benefits to buy his own peace of mind.

Is the suffering of others so worthless in his eyes?

Murong Qing didn't know if Murong Jin would continue to harass him with his so-called good intentions, he returned home, packed a few changes of clothes, and drove out of the city early the next morning.

After a night of precipitation, his mood has calmed down now, and he feels that his brain can think about problems normally.Looking back at Murong Jin's actions, he inevitably had some new thoughts.

It is said that Murong's family shop is also opened on the Antique Street, and he has reason to believe that Murong Jin has long known the fact that he is in the "Six or Seven".Of course, it was said that Zhuang Sanshao was the boss of the "six or seven families", so the news that reached Murong Jin's ears was probably that Murong Qing was helping the dealer with work.So, can he understand that Murong Jin is secretly watching Murong Qing's working ability from the sidelines?

Murong Qing felt that this conjecture was very close to the truth.It's hard for him to say what the Murong family's abilities are.But his master He Mao once said the words "Stand still and complacent" very disdainfully.Murong Qing is the adopted son of the Murong family, but he learns different things from the Murong family. Perhaps Murong Jin thinks that Murong Qing's ability is just a supplement to the Murong family's business?

Or, the Murong family needs more manpower in imitating ancient porcelain?

That's why Murong Jin, a bitch, humbly came to say good things?If Murong Qing softened his attitude, would he invite him to carry forward their family's forgery business in the next step?

I bother!

Murong Qing punched the steering wheel, and cursed bitterly in his heart: "Fuck you."

I didn't expect to leave Murong's house and be forced to hide everywhere.Murong Qing felt a sense of sadness in his heart, when will he be able to completely get rid of the nightmare of Murong's family?

Murong Jin probably wouldn't go to the "Six or Seven Houses" to make trouble. Third Young Master Zhuang is not so easy to mess with. He has the big banner of the dealer behind him.He will not go to harass Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu is just a veterinarian and can't help him with anything.So after all the calculations, the only way to escape temporarily is the most feasible way.

The question is, where should he hide?

Murong Qing flipped through the phone contacts one by one, and finally stopped at Qingshu's name.
