Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 161 Extra Story [-]: Origination and Destruction
In the autumn of the 33rd year of the Ming and Han Dynasties, Feishui Town had a great harvest. Relatives and friends from all over the world came to the market with the harvested silver. Uncle Zhong also had a beaming face, bowed and smiled and stepped forward to inquire: "But the harvest in our house is good?"

The boy who was still childish carried a lantern half as tall as a person, and said crisply: "Look, you seem to have worked part-time in our house, why don't you know that our master doesn't care about the harvest the most, so how could you make such a big mess?" The sound came."

Seeing that the man was more puzzled, the boy said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the full moon of the young master in the house. Tell me, this kind of big event is better than the celebration of a good harvest. The noise should be bigger?"

The man was still going to ask with a smile, when suddenly a voice pierced in obliquely: "Excuse me, is this the Gao family in Lv'eyuan?"

The boy carrying the lantern looked at the man up and down, although his expression was impatient, his manner of speaking was also very polite: "This Taoist priest, let me say something more, the master and wife in the house don't follow Buddhism, if you want to please I'm so happy, why not come back tomorrow."

The Taoist smiled calmly, raised his hand and handed the name card to him, saying: "Please pass this invitation card to your wife, she will come to see me naturally when she sees it."

The kid accepted the name card half-believingly, looked at the Taoist priest suspiciously, hesitated again and again, put the big lantern in his hand into the hand of the man next to him, and said, "Please wait a moment."

The Taoist priest was stopped by the boy at the door, but he was not annoyed, and stood quietly under the bright red lantern.

After half a stick of incense, Uncle Zhong came along with the boy, he was taken aback when he saw the person in front of him, and looked at him carefully for a while, then he suddenly realized, bowed and saluted, and said: "Mr. Mu is here, Mr. It is really a crime for the slave not to greet him."

That Taoist priest was not someone else, his surname was Mu and his name was Wei Dao. He was supposed to be a talent that the king of Wei relied on in the court, but four years ago he left the mourning hall of Xiao Yongqi, the seventh lady of the Xiao family, and disappeared.

There were rumors in Beijing that Mu Weidao died for the seventh miss of the Xiao family, on the Cliff of Unrequited Love.Until a year ago, the governor of Zhejiang Province returned to Beijing to sue his post. He passed by the Shuangling Temple in Xizhou. Mu Weidao, the son of the Mu family who died in love with the Seventh Miss of the family.

"Uncle Zhong, you don't need to be too polite. I'm an outsider now, and I'm no longer the son you said." Mu Weidao described it thinly, but his expression changed from the indifference of many years ago, and instead showed a broad-minded indifference.

Following Uncle Zhong entered the gate of Lv'e Garden, walked around the pavilions and waterside pavilions, and walked to a secluded garden. A boy ran out from under the pagoda tree, and ran in the direction of Muwei Road in a daze. Holding his leg tightly, she shouted in a childish voice: "Who are you? Are you a fairy?"

Seeing his portrait of Shi Yiqing, Mu Weidao knew that it was Shi Congti, squatted down with soft eyes, looked at him who was big as a bean and said, "Come on, let me guess, are you Qi'er?"

Xiao Shi congti shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong! Guess again!"

Mu Weidao pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Well, how can I guess wrong? Let me take a closer look at you! Yes, your name is Shi Congti, right?"

Shi Congti giggled and burrowed into Mu Weidao's arms, his chubby hands tightly clutching his skirt, and said in a tender voice, "Can you take me to find my sister? I lost my sister! You It's a fairy, and it will definitely help me find my sister, right?"

Uncle Zhong hurried up and said to Shi Congti: "My ancestor, your sister was tired all night and is now sleeping. You can't make trouble with her anymore."

Shi Congti pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction and turned his head away from Uncle Zhong. That grievance made people feel distressed.

Seeing that Mu Weidao liked him, he held him tightly in his arms, coaxing him and said: "Sister is tired, let's play with uncle, okay?"

"I haven't seen you for many years, Mr. Mu has learned to take advantage of words."

Shi Congti looked at Shi Yiqing who was walking up the corridor with sparkling eyes, and shouted excitedly: "Sister, sister!"

Mu Weidao looked along Shi Congti's chubby little hands, and saw a pretty woman in a fine cloth skirt in the morning light, with her hair simply pulled back in a bun, with a little bit of rouge on her face The gouache has not been applied yet, but it looks very fresh and refined. If you look closely along the line of sight, you can see that although her expression is a little tired, she has only a pair of dark eyes that are extremely similar to Xiao Shi Congti, which makes people notice her I can no longer take my eyes off.

Shi Yiqing stepped down the corridor, looked at Mu Weidao who had changed a lot with a half-smile, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, you have changed, and I don't even know you well."

Mu Weidao smiled lightly and handed Shi Cong into her arms, and said: "You haven't changed at all, you just look a lot more relaxed than in the capital, it seems that this is the life you really want. "

He led Mu Weidao into the gazebo and sat down, called the little girl to come in with tea, and sighed, "For me, life there is a nightmare. Fortunately, I can wake up, but you are still Live the dream."

Mu Weidao's hand holding the teacup paused, and he took a sip of the tea with a wry smile with downcast eyes, and then said slowly, "Only by living in a dream can we remember the past."

Shi Yiqing turned to look at Mu Weidao, with pain and hatred in his eyes, but his voice was as calm as a cloud: "I really don't understand you, you were the one who said you didn't like and didn't want it before, but you turned around and sent her away, but you showed a The pain was unbearable, and in the end, the behavior of leaving home was cut, and it took many years to disappear and leave. I know, it’s only when you and her are as deep as the sea, and you have already made a private life. , to repair the afterlife."

She paused, glanced at her eyes with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice: "If you really have this heart for her, it will not be in vain to waste her infatuation with you, and it can be regarded as a result for her. But you... ...But you don't like her, let alone the word love, your attention to her is not as good as that of a beggar on the side of the road! People say that you, Mu Weidao, I believe in everything, but they say that you treat Xiao Qi with The love is so deep, I just think it is absurd!"

After taking a breath, Shi Yiqing calmed down, held his teacup and said, "I'm very happy that you can visit me. Although you and I are not friends, we got to know each other once. I don't want Xiao Qi to look sad in the sky. So I won’t be entangled in this matter. The only thing is, I believe that Xiaoqi doesn’t want your good skills to go to waste. If you want, I will ask him to write a letter of divorce for you. You can use it to find the governors of the two provinces. Huangfu Jing, I think he will take care of you."

Mu Weidao, who was standing with his hands behind his back in the wind, turned his eyes to look at Shi Yiqing, smiled calmly, and said softly: "She has a sister like you, I am really happy for her."

Seeing Shi Yiqing frowning and looking at himself, Mu Weidao turned around and thought for a while, and said distressedly: "According to my seniority, I should call you cousin, but I am an outsider after all, so I really can't say it, so I call you, Madam Gao."

Mu Weidao straightened his clothes and bowed three times to Shi Yiqing, and said to the stunned woman, "These three prayers belong to Qi'er," and said three more bows to Shi Yiqing who stood up in astonishment, " These three prayers are mine."

"Mu Weidao, what are you doing?"

"These three worships were supposed to be four years ago. Qi'er and I worshiped together. But at that time, the incident happened suddenly and the situation was chaotic. I couldn't think of anyone else to officiate for us. I thought of you on the spur of the moment. Without your consent, I borrowed the money." Your name was reported to Yuelao, and the wedding was completed."

Shocked by these words, Shi Yiqing was stunned, backed up again and again in disbelief, and it took him a while to react, the mist clouded his eyes, and when Dou Da's tears rolled down, the world in his sight was clear after washing.

Shi Yiqing opened his mouth in a hoarse voice: "You, what did you say, say it again!"

"Qi'er and I swear under Yuelao that we will be married for three lives and three generations, and we will stay together forever and never leave."

Complicated emotions churned in his chest, Shi Yiqing couldn't tell whether it was joy or pain.She didn't know the circumstances under which Mu Weidao made such an oath, whether it was sympathy, or sincerity, or it was just a casual remark and never took it seriously.

Countless thoughts were churning in Shi Yiqing's mind, emotions flashed across his face, and finally settled on grief.Shi Yiqing raised his hand to wipe the tears on his cheeks, managed to calm down, and said with relief: "Xiao Qi...as long as Xiao Qi left happily, it's fine."

Mu Weidao looked at her quietly, and said with a mixture of sigh and envy: "It's great that Qi'er has you as a good cousin."

Suppressing the emotions that were about to collapse, Shi Yiqing choked up and said: "It was because I was sorry for her, and I didn't do anything I promised her. Instead, she was so tired that she died for me, but I couldn't go to her mourning hall. She kowtows."

The cold wind brought the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, Mu Weidao shook his shoulders as if he was afraid of the cold, turned around and stood in the gazebo with his hands behind his back, and said hoarsely after a while: "I should have stayed here to see you and Gao Qichang's child Yes, but it’s not convenient for me to be around, if you let King Qi’s people know that I’m here, I’m afraid it will harm you, so it’s not advisable to stay longer.”

"Are you going? Where are you going?"

Mu Weidao covered the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief trembling in his hand, coughed and panted softly, took a long time to breathe, and said: "The world is so big, you can go anywhere."

Seeing that he had made up his mind to go, Shi Yiqing couldn't stay any longer, so after a few words of instruction, he asked Uncle Zhong to send him out of the house quietly.

After sending Mu Weidao away, Shi Yiqing carefully wiped the tears on his cheeks, calmed down, and was about to get up and leave the gazebo to turn around the bedroom, when Gao Qichang who was rushing over quickly hijacked him on the path.

Gao Qichang looked gloomy at the empty gazebo, and asked Shi Yiqing angrily, "Where's that person? What about others?"

Shi Yiqing looked at him coldly and said, "Let's go."

Gao Qichang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his eyes to think about it, and felt that this breath of relief was not the right time, which ruined his mighty image, so he immediately put on a straight face and shouted: "This coward, came to my house to seduce my wife , He didn’t even have the ability to stay and fight with me, so he ran away in such a desperate way! He is still a sword idiot, how can he kill people with this little courage!?”

Shi Yi Qingpi pointed to the direction Mu Weidao was leaving with a smile, and said, "Hey, I think you are right, that person just left not long ago, if you go after him, you will be able to catch up! Hurry up Go, I'll wait for you to tidy him up, and then welcome you into my room!"

Gao Qichang saw Shi Yiqing and Shi Shi ran around the upper corridor and went back to the house, with a bitter face, neither entered nor retreated, he was in a dilemma, he didn't know what to do.

Xiao Shi congti covered his mouth with his plump little hand and smiled "giggle", Gao Qichang saw it, quickly hid behind the nanny, stuck out his tongue at him, and said: "Enter the door, enter the door!"

Gao Qichang picked up Shi Congti dumbfounded, and joked with him to the flower garden.

After sending Mu Weidao away, the loyal uncle walked up to Shi Yiqing to answer, hesitated for a while, and then said hesitantly: "Ma'am, the servant who tidied up the gazebo just sent something, I look...it looks like The Xiao family's craftsmanship, I dare not hide it." Saying that, he took out a bloody handkerchief from his sleeve.

Shi Yiqing took the handkerchief in surprise, carefully avoiding the blood stains on it and shaking it away in the wind, seeing that the embroidered feet of mandarin ducks playing in the water fluctuated from size to size, just like the sachet Xiao Yongqi sent her on her birthday, she couldn't help but sigh Dazed, he hurriedly asked: "Have you ever asked Madam Xu, didn't this handkerchief belong to her or Sister He Mu?"

"Returning to Madam, the old slaves have asked about it early in the morning. They said that this is the assorted satin that the palace gave to the family in the early years. We don't have this kind of satin. But if it is not from our house, then it will Whose is it?"

Shi Yiqing stared blankly at the undried blood on the towel, and asked with dazed eyes: "When you sent Mu Weidao away just now, did he have any abnormalities?"

Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully: "Apart from his pale face, I didn't see anything else. Miss, you suspect... you suspect that this handkerchief belongs to Mr. Mu?"

Shi Yiqing looked at the handkerchief in his hand with tears in his eyes, choked up a few sobs, and said with difficulty, "This should be Xiaoqi's token of love for him."

"Then... Mr. Mu?"

Shi Yiqing closed his eyes, and let the tears splash on the skirt: "He should know that his time is running out, so he came all the way here. The purpose is to fulfill the oath made under the moon many years ago. Yes, it is reincarnation. He, after all, has not lost Xiao Qi's infatuation with him."

Uncle Zhong was shocked, and said anxiously, "Then I'll go and chase him back!"

"Stop! You can't go!" Shi Yiqing gripped the bloody handkerchief tightly with trembling fingers, was stunned for a while, and then said, "You went and called Jianliu in, I have something to tell her."

"Ma'am, did you call me?"

Jian Feng, who was already married, came to Shi Yiqing and was surprised to see her face full of tears, and asked, "Miss, what happened?"

Shi Yiqing looked at her in a daze, and it took a while to come back to his senses. He let out a deep breath, and handed the handkerchief left by Mu Weidao to Jianliu, and said, "Go out of the garden and bury it in the place where the master bought it last year. In the field used as the ancestral grave. On the stele, inlay four characters for me, "Under the Moon."
