Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

Looking at Mu Wenning's departing back, Mu Jinyu sighed slightly.

Mu Qing and Qin Yu looked at each other and didn't know what to do. After all, he had to rely on himself to solve this situation, and they couldn't help. Besides, Mu Wenning might not want to see them now.

Seeing that the case had been solved, Mu Qing said goodbye to Mu Erye and the others.

"Second uncle, we'll leave first!" Mu Qing stood beside the carriage and said to Mu Jinyu and Mu Wenning.

"Well, go ahead. Be careful on the way back!" Mu Jinyu nodded, with a trace of kindness in his eyes. "I found these books recently. I remember you always liked them. You can take them!"

As he spoke, You Bo came over carrying a large box and placed the box in front of Mu Qing.

"Well, thank you, uncle. These are the books I like to read." Mu Qing nodded as he looked at the box full of books. Looking at Mu Wenning standing beside him, Mu Qing's voice softened a little. "Uncle, if you have the chance, you are welcome to come to Beijing to play."

"Okay." Mu Erye said with a smile, and Mu Wenning beside him also nodded.

"It's time for us to go." Qin Yu said, and nodded to Mu Erye and the others.

"Hurry up and get on the road! Otherwise, if you're late, you won't be able to catch up with the town ahead."

"Okay, then take care of yourself, second uncle!" Mu Qing said, turned around and walked into the carriage.

With a whip, the carriage started moving quickly. Looking at the figure gradually moving away, Mu Qing retracted his head into the carriage.

"Why, you don't want to let go?" Qin Yu asked, looking at Mu Qing's unhappy look.

"No, I just feel a little sorry for Brother Ning. He is not even nine years old yet he has lost his mother." Mu Qing shook his head. Although he felt a little reluctant, it was not much. He felt more of guilt.

"If the truth had not been revealed, he could have stayed with his mother for a few more years, but he would have died in a few years, and not only him, but the entire Mu family would have been buried without a burial place." Qin Yu said calmly, "Now that it has been discovered, there is still a chance to make amends. Although the mother and daughter will definitely not survive, the other members of the Mu family did not participate, and secondly, they have surrendered themselves and made meritorious contributions. So although they may still be affected, they will definitely not die because of this."

"Yeah." Mu Qing nodded.

Seeing that Mu Qing was not in a good mood, Qin Yu sighed silently in his heart, took out a piece of dessert from the secret compartment beside him and handed it to Mu Qing.

"Taste it."

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment when he saw the bean cake that suddenly appeared.

"Where did you get the bean cake?"

Qin Yu didn't say anything, but just looked at Mu Qing with a smile, holding the bean cake in his hand and constantly motioning for him to have a taste.

Mu Qing curiously took the bean cake and took a bite. The familiar taste instantly made him open his eyes wide, and he looked at Qin Yu in surprise and delight.

"Isn't this the kind of bean cake that's only sold at the border? Zijin, how did you buy it?"

You should know that this kind of bean cake is a specialty of the border area. Mu Qing only ate it often when he was a child, and rarely ate it after he grew up.

After all, although the price is not expensive, it is very troublesome to buy it. Not only is the distance far, but it is also troublesome to transport, and you are afraid that it will fall or break.

He didn't expect to be able to eat it here. The taste really made him miss it.

"The last time I went to the Mu family's ancestral home, I saw that you particularly liked to eat this kind of bean cake, so I bought some for you." Qin Yu's eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't mention how much time he spent on these bean cakes.

Mu Qing ate the cake while looking at Qin Yu in surprise, with some disbelief in his eyes.

The bean cake tastes so good, you can tell it was made just two days ago. After all, if it is left for a long time, it will become hard or soft. The taste will change and it will not be so good.

They have been staying at their second uncle's house for four or five days, plus the time they spent coming from their eldest uncle's house, it has been nearly ten days in total. How could it still be so delicious?

Qin Yu looked at his eyes, lowered his head and smiled, then reached out and touched his hair.

A trace of annoyance emerged in Mu Qing's eyes, and he dodged the other person's outstretched hand. Every time Zi Jin touched his hair, he touched it against the hair. It was okay when the hair was short, but it was really uncomfortable when the hair was long, and it became messy.

"Eat bean cake!" Mu Qing reached out and took a piece of bean cake and stuffed it into Qin Yu's mouth. Qin Yu moved his mouth and ate the whole piece of bean cake. It tasted slightly sweet, with a strong bean fragrance, and was very soft. It seemed that his cooking skills were not bad.

Seeing Mu Qing eating happily, Qin Yu was filled with joy. Since Mu Qing liked eating so much, it was worth his effort to learn how to cook.

After eating two pieces of bean cake, Mu Qing couldn't help feeling a little thirsty. After all, this kind of bean cake is to be eaten with tea, and it would be a bit choking if eaten alone.

Mu Qing drank tea while staring at Qin Yu in a daze. Qin Yu had handsome eyebrows, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, and his slender fingers stroked across the book. He looked very attractive.

Mu Qing became absorbed in the reading. All kinds of things flashed through his mind. He couldn't help feeling thirsty. After lowering his head and taking a sip of tea, Mu Qing turned his head to look out the window.

Looking at the trees and farmlands passing by quickly on both sides of the road, he suddenly remembered something.

"Zijin, have you completed this case? Do you need to continue investigating?"

Although my second aunt Xiao Wan and Aunt Jing Xiao Jinggu have been captured, there are too many spies in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and not all of them are their subordinates. A large part of them are sent by other people in the Western Regions.

Therefore, they did not know the detailed list of personnel, and had no way to stop the Western Regions from sending more people.

In this case, can he just capture the two of them and report to his superiors? If not, wouldn't Zijin lose the emperor's trust again?

"I have already finished the investigation here, and the rest can be left to others." Qin Yu raised his head and said. Although the emperor assigned him the task of investigating the spies, he only asked him to investigate the source of the spies. As for catching all the spies, that was not his responsibility, and he could not do it.

After all, he only has a hundred or so Jinyiwei under his command, so how can he possibly manage the affairs of the entire Great Zhou?

"Is that so? Then do you have anything else to do when you go back?" Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"After explaining things to the emperor, there's nothing to do for the time being. What's the matter?" Qin Yu looked at Mu Qing's sudden inspiration and pretended to think about it, then shook his head.

"Although it's past the time for outings, the weather shouldn't be too hot when we arrive in the capital. How about we go out for a walk together? How about I treat you to a boat ride and a drink?" Mu Qing looked at him with a smile.

"Okay, but it will probably take another half a month for us to go back, and by then it should be the Dragon Boat Festival, you..." Qin Yu didn't know why, but he subconsciously felt that Mu Qing didn't like the Dragon Boat Festival very much.

"Dragon Boat Festival! There should be a lot of delicious and fun things there. We can go shopping then. Do you have anything to do then?" Mu Qing calculated the time and realized that the Dragon Boat Festival was almost here. He hadn't noticed it before.

"I don't have anything to do. We will also have a day off during the Dragon Boat Festival." Qin Yu shook his head. Mu Qing didn't seem to hate the Dragon Boat Festival. Instead, he looked forward to it a little.

……

Time passed quickly, and half a month went by in a blink of an eye. Because the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, the capital city was very busy. All the shops in the streets and alleys were either hanging mugwort or sachets.

The air was filled with the smell of grass. When Mu Qing and Qin Yu entered the city, Mu Qing was almost dazzled by the colorful scenes everywhere.

"Zijin, there are so many beautiful colored ropes!"

“Those are five-colored ropes. Legend has it that they can ward off evil spirits. Ordinary people use five kinds of colored threads, and wealthy families will even string silver on them.

When we're done, I'll take you for a walk, or do you want to go for a walk on your own first?" Qin Yu asked as he explained.

"Then I'll wait for you in the car. If it takes too long, I'll just walk around for a while." Mu Qing thought for a few seconds and said.

"Okay, I should be able to report quickly." Qin Yu nodded.

The carriage station stopped not far from the palace. Qin Yu tidied his clothes and brought Seventeen and the others to the palace gate. After talking to the guard for a few words, Qin Yu and his party walked into the palace gate and soon disappeared.

Mu Qing sat in the car and waited leisurely. When he was thirsty or hungry, he had some snacks and drank some tea. When he was bored, he picked up the book Qin Yu had read before and started reading.

After waiting for a long time, Mu Qing finally saw Qin Yu and the others coming back. He breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the carriage, and rushed in front of Qin Yu.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Mu Qing asked with concern.

"It's okay, be careful!" Qin Yu immediately supported Mu Qing's body that was about to fall, and looked at Mu Qing with some concern, "You weren't hurt just now, were you? Why did you jump down from the car?"

"I see you jumping down there often! It seems quite simple, and the movements look very cool, so I wanted to give it a try. But I didn't expect that my feet would become quite numb." Mu Qing stood up straight with embarrassment, moving his numbed feet as he spoke.

Qin Yu looked at him helplessly and shook his head. Let's not talk about his physique. What's his physique? Just saying that he is a Jinyiwei and has practiced martial arts for so many years, I don't know how much stronger his body is than his.

"Let's go. I'll go for a walk with you." It just so happened that the emperor asked him to rest for two days before interrogating Xiao Wan and her daughter two days later.

Otherwise, he might not be able to spare the time.

"Okay." Mu Qing nodded.

"Selling colorful ropes~ Colorful ropes~"

"Selling rice cakes~~"

"Realgar wine, delicious realgar wine!"

"I sell purses. All kinds of purses. Would you like to take a look?"

“Zongzi, delicious Zongzi!”

“Selling sesame cakes~~Delicious sesame cakes~~”

Listening to the noisy sounds on the street, Mu Qing couldn't keep up with the sight. He looked at the goods on the stalls, then at the mugwort on the wall, and smelled the fragrance in the air. He felt a little hungry for a moment.

Just when he was looking for a place to eat something or buy two rice dumplings, he suddenly saw the colorful ropes on the stall, and all eyes were drawn to it.

Mu Qing reached out and picked up a piece of colorful rope and took a look at it. Yellow, green, red... the colors were very rich, and they looked quite beautiful when woven together.

There were also various small ornaments on it, including gold, silver, jade, and flowers, plants, and animals made of unknown materials, which looked a bit novel.

Mu Qing picked up different colorful ropes and looked at Qin Yu beside him.

"Do you have anything you like? I'll give it to you!"

"Let's take this one!" Qin Yu's eyes swept across the colorful ropes and finally landed on a colorful rope with green leaves on it.

"Okay, I want this one and this one. Give me 30 more of these." Mu Qing nodded, picked out the one with a tail pendant for himself, and showed them to the stall owner together with the one Qin Yu had just chosen, then pointed his finger at the ordinary colorful ropes on the stall.

"Okay, do you want me to wrap it up for you?" The stall owner immediately smiled. He didn't expect to have such a big business. One buyer bought 1/3 of his colorful ropes.

"Pack up the rest of these two and send them to the Mu Mansion in the alley in the street ahead." Mu Qing said as he took out half a tael of silver and handed it to the stall owner.

"Okay, I will definitely deliver it to you!" The stall owner nodded quickly.

Mu Qing picked up the colorful rope with leaves and handed it to Qin Yu. Qin Yu took the colorful rope but did not move. Seeing this, Mu Qing grabbed his arm and put the colorful rope on his hand.

"It fits just right!" Mu Qing said with a smile, looking at the colorful rope on Qin Yu's wrist. He then stretched out his arm and said, "Please help me. I can't put it on either."

Qin Yu chuckled and then helped him put it on.

After putting on the colorful ropes, the two continued walking and talking and laughing, but their hands, which were originally separated, were held together at some point.

Feeling the warmth in his hand, Mu Qing's smile became brighter. They went to eat rice dumplings together, bought a jar of realgar wine, and planned to have a drink together in the evening.

"Would you like to buy some mugwort? I think those mugwort dumplings are pretty delicious."

"Buy some! And buy some mugwort and the like. There are a lot of mosquitoes now. Although they don't bite, they are still quite itchy." Mu Qing said with a frown, and bad memories emerged in his mind.

When he was still a young tree, he had always been rooted in the soil. If he had to say what time he hated the most, it would be around the Dragon Boat Festival. After all, he just had to endure the hot summer and the scorching winter. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, many small insects would suddenly appear.

If they were bugs, he wouldn't be afraid of them, but the key point was that these bugs either came out from the ground under his feet or from his branches.

Although it doesn't hurt, it is very itchy and it itches all day long. Every year at this time, he gets a little scared, fearing that bugs will suddenly appear around him.
