Chapter 294 Preoccupied
Chongming Building.

This is a well-known and time-honored brand in the capital. It is located on the West Street of the capital. This place is far away from the residences of the rich and powerful, and it was not a prosperous area.

Just because Chongming Building is located here, it seems to be a place where people come and go during the daytime.

The old gourmets in the capital can travel thousands of miles from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River in order to have a familiar taste, not to mention the Chongming Tower located in the capital.

At this time, the place was overcrowded, and those who didn't know they were there thought it was some grand event.

The chrysanthemum private room, this is the private room that Sun Wan made a reservation for after a lot of effort. In fact, even if she didn't meet Murong Qing today, she would bring her maids here to have a big meal.

I have to say that Chongminglou's service is excellent, the food is served very quickly, and the snacks are exquisite.

"What wine do you want to drink?" Murong Qing asked.

She quickly glanced at the price of the wine, and felt relieved. Fortunately, she still had enough money.

There is a reason why Chongming Restaurant is good, and there is a reason why it is expensive. It is also because the wine here is not the specialty of the restaurant, so it is not very expensive.

It seems that this is not the first time for Sun Wan to come here, and she is skillfully pointing at the menu, "This, this, and this, that's all."

"Okay, wait a moment, both of you!" The servant ran to pick up the wine with a cheerful tone.

Originally not hungry, Murong Qing suddenly felt his stomach was empty when he saw this tasty food.

So the two of them didn't talk much at first, and only started talking loudly when the wine was served for a while.

"You have ridden a horse before, so have you ridden a horse in a paddock in the suburbs of Beijing?" Sun Wan asked, with a hint of envy in her tone.

The Sun family is a scholarly family with a very strong sense of ethics. In the Sun family, women should wash their hands and make soup, and only men can ride horses and dance with knives and clubs.

Knowing that later the Sun family was thin, and now Mr. Ge is the only son of Mr. Ge, with only one child under his knees, Sun Wan's father, but he died of illness, and Sun Wan's father has only one child under his knees, Sun Wan.

Without collateral blood, even if he wanted to be a step-son, he would have no chance.

As a last resort, Elder Ge made an exception to let Sun Wan read and write. Sun Wan was talented and intelligent, and won the favor of Elder Ge who lived up to expectations.

In this way, Sun Wan begged hard and got the chance to practice martial arts, but it only lasted for two years.

Sun Wan thought, if she could practice martial arts for a few more days, she would definitely defeat Murong Qing today!
Murong Qing nodded, "The paddock in the suburbs of Beijing? I went to see it, and I don't care about running horses there at all! Even though it is the capital city, I think the paddocks in this capital city are not as wide as those in the north!"

Speaking of the northern border, Murong Qing was eloquent.

"The horse breeds in the northern border are generally taller than the horses in the capital. I can only ride pony horses, but that doesn't stop me from riding horses wantonly. The northern border is not limited to paddocks where horses can run. Although it is desolate, it is full of flat and open fields. Best for Pentium."

Thinking again of the days when he was a child riding a horse happily with a whip, Murong Qing himself felt a little envious.

Sun Wan's eyes lit up when she heard something she had never seen before, and she was very interested in hearing it.

Sun Wan pestered her to ask a lot of questions, and Murong Qing answered them tirelessly. At this moment, the two of them put down their guards and hooked their shoulders as if they hadn't seen each other for so long.

Sun Wan suddenly asked, "Since you have seen the world outside the square courtyard wall, why are you willing to be trapped in a corner and marry someone else as a wife?"

Murong Qing was stunned, he didn't know if it was because Sun Wan changed the topic too quickly and didn't react for a while, or because she didn't know how to answer her words.

She shifted her gaze to the wine in the azure wine glass. The wine was clear and transparent. When holding it still, she could see her face through the wine glass.

Does she love Pei Mo?Undoubtedly, of course love, so much so that when I say this name silently, my heart beats faster.

But when she thought about it carefully, it had been a long time since she rode horses as recklessly as she did when she was a child.

'She was born to be free', this consciousness is like a spark gathered in ashes, which cannot be suppressed or extinguished, and it will intensify.

Love is not the rope that binds her, this oppressive, shackle-like environment is.

Murong Qing suddenly understood that she was also in the game.

But she still didn't answer, shook her head and drank the wine in one gulp.

The private room is filled with the aroma of wine and vegetables, and there is also the faint sound of silk and bamboo in the next room, which gradually makes people intoxicated.

The chatterbox of the two women opened up, and you talked to each other sentence by sentence.

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Wan drunkenly pushed Murong Qing who was lying on the table, "Hey, keep talking, why did you get down, get up."

Murong Qing was so drunk that he didn't respond at all.

"It's really boring." Sun Wan muttered, but she couldn't hold it anymore, so she also lay down on the table.

There was silence in the private room, and after a while, the door opened with a 'squeak'.

When the sun moved from the table by the window to the carved wooden bench, Pei Mo finally escaped from the training ground.

Then he rushed to Chongming Building according to the news that came.

"Rack, rack—"

The horse's hoof quickly stepped across the market, kicking up a cloud of dust. Pei Mo was extremely anxious this day, and almost knocked down the stalls of the people.

What's going on here?
Here, Murong Qing fell into a drowsy sleep, there were many noisy voices in her ears, but she just couldn't open her eyes.

She felt someone shaking her shoulder lightly, as if trying to wake her up, and someone was talking in her ear.

As the consciousness gradually returned, the voice in the ear became more and more clear, "Wake up, wake up quickly."

"What's wrong?" Murong Qing murmured, rubbing her eyes with difficulty, who is disturbing her to sleep?

"Ma'am, don't go to sleep."

Pei Mo half-knelt on the ground, supported her waist with his big hands, and was relieved to see her wake up.

"Why and so much wine?"

Murong Qing felt that the voice was familiar, opened his eyes and looked at Pei Mo in a daze, only to realize that it was the general who had arrived.

Hearing Pei Mo's question, she shook her head and was too lazy to speak.

Pei Mo sighed, his eyes were deep, and he raised his hand to press the mark on her face made by her sleeve when she was sleeping on her stomach, feeling a little helpless in her heart.

Murong Qing sat there blankly, her face was flushed with drunkenness, her eyes were watery from yawning, her bun was undone, and her hair was scattered on her shoulders, making her face even smaller .

This appearance really makes one's heart soft, not to mention Pei Mo, who is full of her heart and eyes.

Pei Mo was hesitant to say anything, took one look at her and decided to hide the news for as long as he could.

"I'm here to pick up my wife back home, how tired I am to sleep on the table, huh?"

Pei Mo subconsciously softened his voice, and his hands moved carefully as if stroking a fragile porcelain doll.

Murong Qing nodded.

"Here it is! Come!"

A cold command sounded suddenly outside the door, and Pei Mo suddenly had a bad feeling.
