Domineering

[Continued from the previous article]

one

Something happened to the East Wing, and the madam was afraid that the situation would be out of control, so she rushed to the backyard to report.The proprietress lazily got up behind the scenes, and chuckled lightly: "What are you afraid of, just keep doing business."

The east wing was quiet, two snow-white bare feet stepped into this area, regardless of whether the person who fell under their feet was alive or dead, they just stepped on it.

Mu Rusong did not flee in fear of the crime, she sat on the ground in a daze holding Baili Sipei, and moved her eyelids slightly when she sensed someone coming.

The strange woman in front of her had exquisite eyebrows and eyes, a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth, her graceful figure was wrapped in a red gauze, her long black hair hung down to her waist, and her feet were naked, just like the angry beauty in the painting.

A trace of surprise flashed in Mu Rusong's eyes: "You are... Mo Xiaoqing?"

"Sign up."

"Mu Rusong in Qingming Pavilion, I'm here for her this time. She is a girl from your Xiaoqinglou, please save her." Mu Rusong said as he brought Baili Sipei in his arms to Mo Xiaoqing.

A strange fragrance came to the nostrils, so Mo Xiaoqing shook her head without looking at it.

"She is one of the candidate disciples for the next director of the Shaoyao Bureau. Disciples of the Shaoyao Bureau are elected every ten years. If you want to be elected as the director, you must enter the WTO to prove your sincerity. This sincerity is not the other's sincerity. You..." Mo Xiaoqing couldn't bear to go on. , and gave Mu Rusong an eviction order: "Hurry up and go, the Shaoyao Bureau will find the fragrance to claim the corpse."

Mu Rusong remained indifferent, she had to wait for the people from the Shaoyao Bureau to confirm for herself, she didn't believe Pei'er was really dead.

Mo Xiaoqing was helpless: "Since you know that Shaoyaoju is good at deceiving people's hearts and is proficient in illusion, you should understand that you don't love her at all. This is just an illusion produced by the bewitched."

Mu Rusong hugged Baili Sipei in despair, and tried hard to smile, but then the smile was drowned by her tears.

"If this is a hallucination, then she must be alive."

The two fought for more than ten rounds, Mu Rusong was defeated, and was kicked out of the window by Mo Xiaoqing, but unexpectedly she grabbed the window and refused to let go. Still gritted his teeth and insisted.

"My old lady can't save her!" Mo Xiaoqing played with the whip in her hand, her smile revealed danger, "It's really impolite to hinder Xiaoqinglou's business again!"

Mu Rusong was kicked out of Xiaoqinglou, covered with scars, and slowly sat down against the wall of Xiaoqinglou. The pain in her body could not relieve the pain in her heart. .

Hua Rui pretended to be in a coma, and when no one slipped out of Xiaoqing Building, when she found Mu Rusong in the corner, she ordered: "Mu Rusong? Wake up quickly, you promised to send Miss Ben out of the city!"

"The deal failed."

"Miss Ben will give you as much money as you want! As long as you ask!"

Mu Rusong sneered: "I just want you to redeem Pei'er for me."

Huarui didn't expect things to turn out like this, and Mu Rusong's unreasonable demands made her feel like quitting.The rivers and lakes are so dangerous, she is a frail woman with no masters by her side, where can she escape?

Hua Rui didn't dare to go home, and wandered aimlessly in the neighborhood alone, she thought: I'm afraid this kind of freedom will never exist again.

Xuanyuan's neighborhood is lively, a pedestrian bumped into the stamen, and the stamen didn't care about it, but who knew that the pedestrian didn't have eyes, and then bumped into the stamen again, in the same position, his strength was stronger than before.

Hua Rui turned around and said angrily, "You don't have eyes when you walk!"

The man didn't expect Huarui to have such a temper, so he was taken aback, and seeing Huarui's silly look, he joked: "Everyone says Huaqianjin has a photographic memory, why did you forget me? "

Mu Rusong wandered outside for a long time, and returned to Qingming Pavilion in a daze, only to learn that the Tai Tuo had something important to do and had been waiting for her.Mu Rusong wondered: Could it be that Tai Tuo has taken a fancy to her and sent money here every day?

The stamen is missing, and the Taifu seriously suspects that the stamen is hiding here with Mu Rusong. This time, she is not here to give money, but to beg for someone!

Mu Rusong hasn't seen Huarui since leaving Xiaoqinglou, even if the Taifu leads people to turn her dilapidated house upside down, nothing can be found.It's just that the Taifu made such a fuss, which alarmed the Qingming Pavilion, and the pavilion master sent an order, ordering Mu Rusong to find the flower stamen that day, otherwise he will die as an apology!

叁

Mu Rusong bandaged the wound on his body, pulled himself together, and ran away to find the whereabouts of the stamen.Along the way, she thought over and over again, whether the person was lost after a farewell at Xiaoqinglou, or she had to bite the bullet and go to Xiaoqinglou.

When Mo Xiaoqing saw her, she wanted to wave the whip without saying a word.

Mu Rusong knelt on the spot and knelt down to admit his mistake: "Senior, I have offended you so much before, and Rusong will make up for it. I came here this time because of the disappearance of the daughter of the Hua family. Please don't remember the villain's mistakes and tell Hua Miss Jia's whereabouts."

As soon as she looked up, Mo Xiaoqing had already turned and left.

Mu Rusong knelt down in the large court, letting the crowd gather and disperse, and knelt in the Xiaoqing Building for more than an hour before Mo Xiaoqing's voice sounded above his head again: "Some people say that the daughter of the Hua family went to the flower market. Block, don't be an eyesore here."

Mu Rusong thanked him, but didn't intend to get up.

"You don't have to go too far."

"Please Lord Mo, return Pei'er to me, and I will bury her like a wife."

After all, Mu Rusong is also a face-worthy person in Qingming Pavilion. He knelt in the Xiaoqing Building and refused to leave. Mo Xiao smiled angrily: "Why did Qingming Pavilion raise such a traitor like you? Don't you ask your pavilion master, On the other hand, it's bad luck for my old lady to cry and mourn!"

"I lost Hua Qianjin, so I dare not ask him."

"My old lady sees that you don't get enough whips!" Mo Xiaoqing raised the long whip in her hand again, but it didn't fall down. Seeing that Mu Rusong was not afraid to dodge, she temporarily thought of something else, "For the sake of your sincerity." , I will give you a chance, if you can ask your Pavilion Master to personally come and apologize to this old lady, not only will the account between you and Xiaoqinglou be canceled, but you can also take away Pei'er's body... But you have to be quick, Pei'er It's getting more and more fragrant now."

Mu Rusong is still loyal to Qingming Pavilion, but she has never had the opportunity to see the face of the owner of Qingming Pavilion, and she doesn't know whether "he" is a man or a woman, and who is his last name... She is dealing with a deadlock.

Wanton

At the beginning when she came to Xuanyuan Imperial Capital, she just wanted to find her long-lost sister, and she had no other thoughts, but now when she was looking for her own, she suddenly realized that she was already in trouble.

The flowers in the flower market were so delicate and beautiful, Mu Rusong bought a pot of jasmine, and gave it to the picky-eyed girl in white beside him: "For you, this one is very good."

The girl was overwhelmed with flattery: "How can I accept the fate by accident?"

That girl covered her face with a white gauze, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she looked like a girl from a distance... She knew she wasn't, but when she really met those clear eyes, Mu Rusong was still in a daze: She missed her so much, If you encounter similarities, you will deceive yourself and others.

"Girl...it's Bai Jasmine, the oiran of Xiaoqinglou. My beloved once danced with you on the same stage. This flower should be considered as a gift for the two of you. Accept it."

"I wonder if Your Excellency's beloved is...?"

"Pei'er."

Bai Moli recited the name silently, thinking of the east wing where the accident happened yesterday afternoon, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, "I have heard about Pei'er, please express your condolences."

Mu Rusong didn't care what version of the story others heard, she stuffed the "gift" into Bai Jasmine's hands with flowers and pots, and she felt relieved: "There is no need to mourn, we will be reunited soon."

Bai Jasmine was at a loss: "Why did you say that?"

"I lost the daughter of the Hua family, the Taifu will not let me go... Forget it, it's better to apologize with death."

"Young hero, stay!" Bai Moli called to stop Mu Rusong, "I know Hua Qianjin's whereabouts! She was taken away by the third lady of the Su family."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure! Around this time yesterday, not far from this shop, I saw with my own eyes the daughter of the Hua family get into Miss Su's carriage."

"Emperor Xuanyuan has a lot of rich and noble ladies, how can the girl be sure that she is a lady of the Su family?"

"If you have met the third miss of the Su family, you will definitely not be mistaken." Bai Moli smiled, and took out a gold-lettered invitation card from her sleeve, "This is the invitation card that the third miss ordered the Su family to send to me. , I can't go, but I can borrow you to go to the Su Mansion to look for it."

Wu

Today is Miss Su's birthday.The eldest lady of the Su Mansion is very famous, so Mu Rusong temporarily bought a women's outfit, and spent a lot of money on the way to buy two boxes of birthday gifts, so she dared to visit the Su Mansion again.

At the beginning of the night, when the lights are on, all the guests of the Su Mansion have arrived, and the servants are closing the door.

After receiving Mu Rusong's belated invitation, they were all taken aback: "The White Jasmine of Xiaoqinglou is here—" Everyone looked at the door, Mu Rusong pretended to be calm, and smiled as he handed the gift box to the side Record boy.

People in the past talked about it:

"Who?"

"Xiaoqinglou? Isn't that... a prostitute?"

"How could a whore be here?"

"Is she Bai Jasmine?"

"I invited you here." A pleasant voice sounded loudly.

A clear aurora came out of the crowd, everyone was overshadowed, Mu Rusong was stunned in place, only now did he realize that Bai Jasmine's words were true: a beauty is like a rainbow, you know it when you meet it, a beauty like this is really stunning.

Shouting everyone away, Third Miss smiled and said, "Who are you? Where's Bai Jasmine?"

Mu Rusong saluted embarrassingly: "To be honest, I came here to replace Miss Bai to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"The flower family's daughter, stamen."

"What do you want her for?"

"She owes me money."

"How much she owes you, I'll pay it for her." Miss San was innocent and innocent, and didn't doubt Mu Rusong's words, "Follow me."

Su Mansion is different from other mansions in that it is simple and elegant, its winding paths lead to seclusion, and it has its own purity.This time Miss Su's birthday was celebrated, Xuanyuan's famous daughters all came, everyone gathered together, it was rare to add excitement to the courtyard.

Third Miss led Mu Rusong around, and finally saw that familiar figure in the corner.

Hua Rui lowered her head and was fiddling with the flower basket under her hand. When she heard someone calling her, she took a quick glance: "Su Rong, don't bother me!" :"How did you come!"

Su Rong thought to herself: It seems that there is still a lot owed.

Mu Rusong said with a cold face: "As entrusted by the Grand Tutor, please go back, Miss."

"No reply! You, you, you, you are not enough friends! Miss Ben helped you!"

"It's a disservice!"

"you!"

The two were at war with each other.

Su Rong smoothed things over: "Oh, I've come here, eat dinner in a friendly manner and leave soon, I'll send someone to Huafu to report safety, you guys stop arguing!"

land

For Su Rong's sake, the two temporarily reconciled and sat down together.

Su Rong went around to help, Huarui was bored by herself, and introduced to Mu Rusong, who was in a daze, "That one with a sharp eye is Zhong Li from the Zhong family. ...The one talking and laughing is the youngest daughter of the Ji family, Ji Changlan, looking at her witty, full of bad taste. The one next to her is her older sister, named Ji Yin, who understands the rhythm..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Mu Rusong always felt that Miss Ji Yin was looking at her, her eyes were watery and tender, and she got goosebumps all over her body.

"These two sisters have very different temperaments." From the moment Mu Rusong took her seat, she noticed that her elder sister never spoke, and her younger sister kept talking.

"This is because..." Hua Rui suddenly whispered, "Ji Yin is dumb."

The two of them were chatting one after another, when a woman in fine clothes came up to them, looked her down condescendingly, and let out a cold snort from her nose: "Miss Ben has heard that the third sister grew up with some actor Like, just come here and have a look, tsk tsk tsk, really anyone can sit in."

Mu Rusong toasted calmly.

The woman didn't notice the existence of the pistil, and after she finished speaking arrogantly, she didn't want to take the seat, turned and left.

Huarui felt humiliated: "What the hell!"

"What are you angry about?"

"She speaks badly!"

"...you usually talk like that."

"Where is it?! Miss Ben regards you as a friend, and it makes Miss Ben very sad for you to say that!"

Su Xing entered the table, and the dinner officially began. The presents of all the people were presented one after another. The servant held the list in his hand and read aloud: "Ji Yanlan, Ji Yin, give a total of twelve elk and bamboo fans in lacquered gold and silk - bell carp, gold silk Two strings of fragrant wood inlaid cicada jade beads - stamens, a small round mirror with carved ivory, and a comb with jade teeth..."

Mu Rusong is sure that these small things are probably the only things that Huarui can only take out when she runs away from home.

Without waiting for Mu Rusong to laugh at Huarui, when the servant read the last line, it was obviously contemptuous: "Unknown Hero, order Xianglou Dim Sum... two boxes. The ceremony is over!"

Mu Rusong put down the wine glass in embarrassment, and turned his head to wink at Hua Rui: Are you going?If you don't go, I will go!

Qi

Su Rong whispered to Su Xing, Su Rong nodded with a smile, and said loudly: "I announce—the best gift tonight is——"

"Ji Min—one of the sky-butting stones!" The sound was louder than the sound, and everyone looked for the prestige, and someone presented an exquisite three-inch wooden box and saluted respectfully, "Miss Su, don't forget to look at my son's gift." .”

An ancient thing, the sky-filling stone.

Ji Qinglan urged: "Sister Xing, open it and have a look!"

The box wasn't locked, but it was fastened tightly. Su Xing couldn't open it either to whet everyone's appetite.Su Rong stepped forward, returned the box with Su Xing's hand, and said with a smile to everyone: "It's fine if the gift is delivered late, and no one will come. I think he doesn't want to be this brother-in-law."

All the people present here are well-aware, and being teased by Su Rong, Su Xing was ashamed and annoyed, "Rong'er! Take it back!"

Su Rong took the box back, and joked with everyone about her sister, Su Xing remained calm, and secretly searched for the secret of the box, but this time she used a little force, and the mouth of the box opened.

- There is light overflowing from the gap.

Su Xing took a look at Su Rong, and slowly opened the lid of the box. The box was filled with light, and the faces of the two sisters from the Su family were reflected in colorful lights, making them extremely glamorous.

Suddenly, Su Rong exclaimed in shock, "This... this is a rock!"

Everyone stood up to find out, and Mu Rusong was also aroused, but before she got up, Su Xing had already put the lid back on the box, "Xing'er accepts my son's wishes."

Everyone ridiculed Su Xing for being stingy, Su Rong shook his head and said, "Young Master Wen wins too easily, let's change the game...one person performs a talent, and whoever wins can open it and take a look! How about it?"

Only a small group participated in Su Rong's game, most of them were led by Zhong Li, who said, "It doesn't matter if you don't watch it."

Seeing that no one responded to him, Su Rong had no choice but to increase his mystery: "This thing has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. If you sisters die, a cat or a bird, maybe you can get it back..."

Mu Rusong originally planned to leave the stage early, but at this moment, his eyes were fixed on the box in Su Xing's hand, and he couldn't move it away.Huarui glanced around subconsciously, and seeing Mu Rusong's mood change, she whispered urgently: "You know where this is." The two of them are at the end of the right seat, and they are the lowest in the seat, so they should see clearly identity.

Zhong Lizun, the one on the left, played the song "Dongfeng" first, and the lingering sound echoed in the hall, but he was self-effacing.It's the next person's turn, without the piano, put five glazed cups in front of you, pour some wine, and use the ring around your waist to strike——Ji Yanlan told a short story, and Ji Yin played music for her, and the two complemented each other , won the jackpot.Everyone knew that they were invincible, so they performed a few random performances, just to show Su Rong face.When it was Hua Rui's turn, she memorized a book of poems in one go, and then made up a congratulatory poem Yun Yun.

This is the end of the banquet...

"I also want to cheer everyone up." After saying this, Mu Rusong was stunned.

Hua Dui looked at her gloatingly and smiled, which meant to say: I am optimistic about you.But in fact, she knew very well that Mu Rusong was just acting impulsively, and his secret skills couldn't be put on the table at all.On the other hand, Mu Rusong can dance with swords, but she also knows that all of you present here are delicate young ladies, so it would be inappropriate to dance with swords and guns, and it will be difficult to get off the horse for a while.

Su Rong came over: "Young lady, if you need anything, just ask."

"I...I want to dance the sword."

"I'd like to see it, but there is no sword..." Su Rong had an idea, and casually broke off a peach branch to replace the sword, which means "break the villain".Mu Rusong was deeply inspired by it, and immediately tried his best in every move, not only for Pei'er's life, but also to live up to Su Rong's kindness.

After the dance, Mu Rusong was drenched in cold sweat, even more nervous than seeing blood in his hands.

All good things come to an end.On the way back, Huarui didn't say a word, and Mu Rusong was also silent. The two of them were holding their own concerns, shrouded in the emptiness after the excitement, unable to extricate themselves.

Mu Rusong tried to break the atmosphere: "What wish did you just make?"

In that competition, Zhong Li broke a string, and Ji Yin knocked out a lamp, neither of which was as gentle as Hua Rui's reciting.Hua Rui won, but she declined because she was going to enter the palace tomorrow, "If the baby is borrowed, it won't come back".Amid the congratulations of the crowd, she didn't even open the box, but put her palms together on her chest, and simply made a wish.

Jiu

Before parting, Huarui suddenly threw herself into Mu Rusong's arms, and said "Take care" with a crying voice, making Mu Rusong not know how to break free for a while.She patted Huarui's back and tried to comfort her with some jokes: "Why are you crying, you won the jackpot tonight, and you will enter the palace tomorrow morning as a concubine, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Tomorrow it's not just me, Zhong Li, Ji Yin, Su Rong...they all have to enter the palace." The reason why tonight can be so lively is because it will be difficult to see Su Xing again later. Finally, she gave her a smile, "My wish is about you. I wish all lovers in the world get married, especially you, Mu Rusong. I really envy you and Pei'er, at least you still have options."

This is the story of Mu Rusong's last day, passing through a world that doesn't belong to her, seeing strange rocks that don't belong to this world, coveting a life that doesn't belong to her... If she had a chance to choose again, she would choose to live.

When the first ray of sunlight shone in in the morning, Pei'er stood in front of Mu Rusong, like a fairy born from the morning light, spotless.She was stabbed with tears streaming down her face: "Pei'er, I miss you so much." She cautiously stepped forward to hug her, made out with her a few times, and then let go, "Is it so real?"

"Ok?"

"There is a reaction, there is warmth..." Mu Rusong hugged Pei'er tightly, and smiled through tears, "Hehe, it's still soft and fragrant, not like a ghost..."

"Ah."

Everything was like a dream in Nanke, Mu Rusong let go and looked around, pale with shock: she was still in Xiaoqing Building, East Wing.

"This... all of this is your illusion?!" Mu Rusong was incoherent in excitement, "This is too real!"

Pei'er smiled slightly, and wiped away Murong Song's tears with the handkerchief in her hand, "I faked my death to make you give up... Master didn't want me to die, she found me and relieved me of the love gu, so I know You have done so much for me..."

Mu Rusong was a little confused: "That's the truth, but what did I do?"

"You didn't hesitate to fight Mo Xiaoqing to take me away, and even more so to bury me in your Mu's house, and begged your pavilion master to intercede with my master. These three are extremely dangerous people, but you can do it for me. I give up my life regardless of..."

Pei'er returned to Mu Rusong's embrace, feeling distressed and joyful at the same time, "Is it worth it?"

"It's worth it!"

"Mu Rusong, you are so stupid."

The things Pei'er said seemed to be related to her, and Mu Rusong fell into deep thought: Can any kind god tell me what's going on?
