Within a month of the state funeral, all kinds of entertainment activities such as weddings, banquets, and operas, songs and dances must be banned. But other than that, the lives of the people in the market are as usual.

The first emperor died, and the Ming Dynasty changed to the emperor of the Zhu family, and people often talked about such major events. But all the concerns are just lip service. is like a businessman who opens an inn, earning 100 wen a day for a room, can't he earn 200 wen just because he changes emperors?

By the Qinhuai River in the Jubao Gate, in an inn called "Kelai", a half-aged with a bit of charm was crying in front of the counter, nagging while holding a handkerchief and rubbing her eyes. The smiling shopkeepers carefully found that the woman did not even have a single tear.

The woman's official speech carried the accent of the southwest, and she said with a resentful and sad face: "My husband who has no conscience came to Beijing with so much money, saying that he was here to catch the exam, but he hooked up with the rich lady in Beijing, and wanted to divorce me, oh my God......"

The shopkeeper kindly said: "Then why don't you go to the government to sue him?" ”

The woman glared and said, "Then what about my husband's future?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and said, "It's difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and we can't help you." However, Mrs. is also a solid family, and the house money is sufficient, so you can live as long as you want. ”

The woman muttered for a while, then turned and walked upstairs. She came to the door of a room, took the brass key and opened it, and without looking back, she said, "Come in." ”

Behind her, there was already a young woman dressed as a man. The woman's face was a little pale, and she followed her into the room without saying a word.

The woman closed the door and said, "I see that you are used to living a good life in the Han Palace, and your methods are a bit ridiculous." You've been looking for me for so many days, and if I hadn't deliberately wanted to see you, you wouldn't be able to find this place now. But your eyes are still very sharp, that day I learned that the King of Han was going to enter Beijing, mixed in the crowd and looked at it for a while, but you saw it at a glance. ”

The young woman was none other than Duan Xue Hat, and as soon as she entered Beijing that day, she found Duan Yang standing on the side of the street. The more Duan Xue thought about it, the more strange it became, and he quickly returned to Jubaomen to find Duan Yang's side. Later, when Duan Xue hated to know that King Han had an accident in Beijing, King Han's men and horses had all gone.

So Duan Xue decided to continue to search for Duan Yang's whereabouts.

Xue Hate asked, "How can you be in Jingshi, what are you doing?" ”

Duan Yang didn't answer, but asked, "Do you know what happened to King Han in the palace?" ”

Snow Hate was silent.

Duan Yang said with a smile: "I heard that the King of Han shouted in public, the prince killed the Ming Emperor, and he was going to kill him." Then the king of Han ran away with his soldiers and horses. And now that the Son has ascended the throne, I think the king of Han will definitely rebel! But his little men and horses will die sooner or later! ”

The hateful teeth clenched, but there was still no expression.

Duan Yang continued: "King Han's vassal kingdom is in Yunnan, he wants to rebel, what should Mu Sheng do? ”

Xue hated and said: "You still want to seek revenge on the Mu family?" ”

Duan Yang's smile disappeared immediately, and he said coldly: "If you don't take revenge, I'm still alive to do something!" ”

Xue Hate finally said the worries in her heart before: "Mu Sheng's son Mu Bin is in Beijing, you want to assassinate him in order to force Mu Sheng to rebel?" But why are you meeting me? ”

A strange smile appeared on Duan Yang's face, but there was no smile in his eyes at all: "Xue Hate is too simple. I think you also have no conscience, you used to know that the Mu family was your father's killer, but you still didn't care too much, and you didn't even think about these things thoroughly. ”

Xue Hate didn't argue, she now knew that she should have been surnamed Mu, and the Mu family was not her enemy; But she was deceived by Duan Yang's before, and she was convinced.

Duan Yang raised his chin and said meaningfully: "Mu Sheng is not against it, it depends on King Min." ”

She said: "I'm going to go to Huguang and send something to King Min." Now I'm about to leave Beijing, there are not enough people, and there is no one to do the affairs of Jingshi. So I want to ask you for help and go and rescue Mu Bin. ”

Xue hated and said: "The place where Mu Bin lives is full of imperial eagle dogs, how to save it?" I didn't kill you, so why should I help you? ”

Duan Yang laughed, she covered her mouth, and leaned back with laughter. Xue Hate frowned and looked at her, not at all ridiculous, only that Duan Yang looked like crazy.

"I'm you|mother!" Duan Yang smiled and said breathlessly, "Don't be in a hurry to speak coldly first. You were not born to me, but I raised you. I don't know what kind of person you are or what your mind is. ”

Xue Hate didn't know how to reply, because what Duan Yang said was the truth, and she watched herself grow up.

Duan Yang sighed and muttered, "Once upon a time, there was a little mother, but there was only a mother and no father. What's even more pitiful is that her mother will only force her to learn this and that, as long as she is lazy, it is a great crime.

She didn't dare to laugh, she had a deep hatred of blood, and if she could still laugh, she must be a person without conscience! Her mother often beat and scolded her, she had to be careful every day, never dared to reveal the joys, sorrows and sorrows in her heart, and over time, her face was like a stiff, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

She doesn't have any playmates, so she doesn't know how to get along with people, let alone how to tell others what she thinks, and she is simply a wooden man of few words.

When the little lady grows up, after all, she is a young woman who has not been employed for more than 20 years, not only has a hot heart, but also often tosses and turns at night, and her heart will be moved.

At this time, a son suddenly appeared, he was honorable, extremely wealthy, and tall and mighty. rescued her when she was desperate, sheltered her, and treated her in every way to please her.

That little lady has been taught since she was a child that people are sinister. How could she not know that others just valued her other identity and the skills she had cultivated for 20 years? But so what, the little lady is still willing to stay by his side, whether it is true or not, it is really warm around Lang there!

Poor little lady, she is a wooden man of few words, she doesn't know how to say it at all, and she can't even hint at a smile. I had to guard silently, looking as cold as ice, and I was afraid that I would be willing to break my bones for the conscienceless brocade lang......"

"I'll kill you!" Snow Hate pounced.

Duan Yang seemed to be prepared, hurriedly hid behind the table, and said hurriedly: "You don't want to help King Han?" After a while, Duan Yang said again, "Don't you think in your heart that as long as you are silently good for him, he will be able to detect your heart sooner or later?" ”

Xue Hate chased a few steps around the table, and suddenly squatted down, buried his face in his knees, and twitched all over. Her cry was very suppressed, as if she was panting desperately.

Duan Yang looked at it cautiously and said, "It's not our fault that the King of Han wants to rebel and seek death. However, if Mu Sheng followed and reversed, it would still be good for King Han. So I dare to meet you...... No matter how many new and old grudges our mother and daughter have, we can join forces now! ”

"You're not me, mother, you go to die!" Duan Xue hated to lift up the face buried in her knees, her face was expressionless, but her face was already full of messes, and there were water droplets hanging on her eyelashes.

Duan Yang said: "Snow hate, how can you talk like this? Even if I didn't give birth to you, after twenty years of nurturing, you can do it in one sentence? ”

Xue hated and said: "What kind of nurturing grace, you use me to deceive me!" ”

"But I still raised you." Duan Yang said calmly, "No one has guarded you longer than me, and no one has taken care of you more than me. Let go of the things that should be put down, you think about it, you can help King Han a lot. ”

"Then am I worthy of the Mu family?" Snow hate.

When Duan Yang heard this, he let out a long sigh of relief and showed a subtle smile. Xue Hate had to admit that this Yang really knew himself too well.

"As I said, Mu Sheng is not against it, the key point is in King Min. I'll do it, and it's none of your business. Duan Yang persuaded, "What you are doing is just to rescue Mu Bin, and this is also helping the people of the Mu family." ”

Xue Hate wiped a handful of tears, and squatted there as if his soul had been drained, with a blank expression. After a while, she spoke: "You are wrong, King Han didn't want to lie to me!" ”

Duan Yang said quietly: "You have to ask yourself." ”

After a while, Duan Yang said, "You will live in the bedroom inside tonight, and I will spend the night outside." You don't have to be in a hurry, go in and be quiet, and answer me tomorrow morning. ”

"You're not afraid I'll kill you!" Xue Hate said coldly.

Duan Yang smiled and didn't say anything.

…… The weather in early autumn is still hot, and people are still wearing single clothes, but in the middle of the night there is still some autumn coolness.

Even if it is as lively as the Qinhuai River, it is very quiet after nightfall. However, this flowery Jingshi is no better than the remote countryside at night; There are also lights in the middle of the night in the third watch of the Beijing Division.

The lights on the Qinhuai River came from nowhere, and the bright light penetrated into the window of the inn, and the light gradually moved up to Duan Xue's face.

She hadn't fallen asleep before, and had just taken a nap in a daze. She didn't cover the quilt either, and she felt very cold in a trance, as if she had walked into a dark and cold street.

There was no one around, and she didn't know where she was going, let alone what she was going to do. There is only confusion and hesitation in my heart, cold and piercing.

Suddenly, she felt a blinding brightness in front of her, and a voice said: I came to pick you up, not in person, for fear that you will not want to come back.

A string in her heart suddenly loosened, and she felt very warm all over, and a fur coat was covering her body. She could even see a single undetectable variegated hair on the white fur collar.

She stepped into the carriage for fear that the feeling of her feet would still be so real, because the carriage floor was covered with very soft lamb's fur.

But the warmest thing is not the fur, but the bright eyes of concern.

Duan Xue hated to open his eyes suddenly, and immediately narrowed his eyes again. In the dark inn room, the eyes have long since adapted to the darkness, and the light of a lantern through the window is very dazzling.
