Yu Wu

His Adam's apple moved slightly, like a young animal probing for danger, he carefully explored, and quietly approached Mo Xi, who didn't know it...

"correct."

Suddenly Mo Xi raised his head, interrupting Gu Mang's small movements.

"The third day of next month is Yue Chenqing's birthday."

"Ah?" Gu Mang was covered in white sweat from fright. He didn't hear what Mo Xi said at all. He just avoided his eyes in a hurry as if he had just woken up from a dream. His ears were a little red. He raised his hand and touched his ears. :"oh oh……"

The heartbeat was still pounding with the aftertaste.

He was thinking, what was he doing just now?Why do I suddenly have such an impulse and desire.One must know that the gnawing between wolves represents conquest and submission, what about between himself and Mo Xi?Is that also the case?

He tried to think about whether he was eager to conquer Mo Xi—but he found that he didn't know what it meant to be "conquered".Do you want Mo Xi to bow his head and kneel before him?

No.No, he has no interest in it.

still have to...

"Are you listening to me?"

Gu Mang suddenly came back to his senses: "Ah? Mmm! I'm listening, I'm listening."

Mo Xi frowned and looked at him: "Why are your ears red?"

Gu Mang scratched his ears: "I am hot, hot."

"..." I don't know what's wrong with him, and the meal is almost finished, so Mo Xi put down his chopsticks and told Gu Mang, "We want to give Yue Chenqing a set of congratulatory gifts. I can't get away recently. You and Li Wei Be careful."

"Hmm..." Gu Mang paused, "Why did you give the little white bird a gift?"

Mo Xi's face darkened for the most part: "Didn't you say you listened?"

"...I missed it."

Mo Xi gritted his teeth and repeated: "The third day of next month is Yue Chenqing's birthday."

Gu Mang finally came to his senses this time, and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Is it the little white bird's birthday?"

"En." After Mo Xi answered, he noticed that Gu Mang's eyes were bright, and he couldn't help being speechless.

He knows that Gu Mang likes to watch other people's happy events, whether it's a birthday or a wedding, he loves to join in the excitement.Before Mr. Luoli's son got married, the bridal ceremonial team marched through the city, and Gu Mang was not allowed to go out at will. When he heard the noise of gongs and drums, he climbed onto the roof and lay on the edge of the tile eaves, knocking melon seeds and watching people.The passers-by applauded, and he also applauded on the roof. When it got dark and Mo Xi allowed him to go out for a walk, he happily searched for the dried longan with peanuts and pine nuts left by people during the day in the cracks of the brick boards. I came back with a bag full of it, and happily wanted to share it with myself.

"I know what you're thinking." Mo Xi said to Shuo Shumang, "But I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"what?"

"It's Yue Chenqing's birthday, the Yue Mansion never holds a big banquet, and there won't be candy and roasted goods sprinkled on the road for you to pick."

Gu Mang was really depressed: "...Oh..."

After a pause, he couldn't help asking curiously: "But the little white bird is obviously very popular at home, why don't they do it?"

Mo Xi took a sip of the hot soup and said, "It has something to do with Yue Chenqing's birth. Yue Chenqing's mother is a member of the royal family, and she passed away because of giving birth to Yue Chenqing."

Gu Mang was slightly surprised, but then he understood again: "The reason why the Yue Mansion didn't hold a banquet for the white bird is because the little white bird's father hasn't forgotten the little white bird's mother?"

Mo Xi said calmly: "How can Yue Juntian be such a loving and righteous person? If you want to say that he is paying homage to his deceased wife, it is absolutely impossible. Just because Muronghuang is the daughter of the royal family no matter what, even if he died For many years, Yue Juntian has also had to buy the royal family's face, so his son's birthday, if he can keep it simple, he will keep it simple."

"So it's like this..." Gu Mang muttered, counting with his fingers several times, and suddenly asked in surprise, "Then Murong Chuyi is also a royal family?"

Mo Xi said lightly, "He doesn't count."

"Why, why? His surname is also Murong..."

Mo Xi said: "The cuffs of all nobles' clothes in Chonghua must be embroidered with gold borders, but Murong Chu's clothes are only embroidered with silver borders. What do you think is the reason?"

Gu Mang said seriously: "Because silver and white complement him, he looks good."

Mo Xi's face darkened slightly: "...you thought it was a beauty pageant."

"why?"

Mo Xi said: "Murong Chuyi is not of royal blood. He is his sister Murong Huang...that is, an abandoned child adopted by Yue Chenqing's biological mother. When Murong Huang was young, he went to Hanshan Temple outside the city to worship Buddha. The child who was abandoned outside the steps of Fomen Mountain felt destined, so he was adopted as a younger brother to take care of him, and he was given the national name of Murong Chuyi by the Ming Emperor."

Gu Mang repeated it twice, and finally came to his senses, his blue eyes widened: "Did the little dragon girl pick it up?!"

"...Don't give others random nicknames anymore." Mo Xi said with a headache, "It's fine with Yue Chenqing, but with Murong Chuyi's temper, if he hears you call him Xiaolongnv, he will kill you alive and throw you into the training hall." Use it as a raw material in the furnace."

Gu Mang waved his hand and said, "It's not that exaggerated, Miss Xiaolong is very good, I still..."

The half of the conversation stopped abruptly, and Gu Mang also knew that he had slipped up, so he looked at Mo Xi anxiously, hoping that Mo Xi didn't notice what he just said.

It's a pity that the sky didn't come true. Mo Shuai watched all directions and listened to all directions. How could he miss this message? He squinted his eyes and stared at Gu Mang: "Have you seen him today?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Gu Mang had no choice but to cross his arms and said, "I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Xihe is so wise."

"You don't have to flatter me, what did you see him doing?"

Gu Mang had no choice but to tell Mo Xi about meeting Murong Chuyi by the Peach Blossom Lake today. He remembered Murong Chuyi's advice and said it very briefly, without any embellishments.

He originally thought that Mo Xi would be somewhat surprised when he heard this, but unexpectedly, Mo Xi just frowned, sighed and said, "Why bother."

"Why bother?"

Mo Xi said: "A few days ago, Yue Chenqing came to me and asked me to borrow a copy of Liao Kingdom's "Hundred Herbs of Gods and Demons", saying that he was looking for herbs that could cure all diseases. I lent it to the steward of the Cultivation Academy before, and I don’t know if Yue Chenqing will go to ask him for it.”

Gu Mang blinked: "So the little white bird has known about his uncle's illness for several days?"

"It's not just a few days." Mo Xi said, "Yue Chenqing already knew that his fourth uncle was not in good health a few years ago, and she followed me to the northern border to find out if there is any good medicine for the fourth uncle. But Yue Chenqing also knew that Murong Chuyi didn't want others to meddle in their business, so she just searched for medicine in secret."

Gu Mang was surprised and said: "So it's been so long, what does Murong Chuyi say about this matter, the little white bird only knows the general idea?"

"Murong Chuyi is right in saying that, because Yue Chenqing only knows that his uncle is sick, but he doesn't know what's wrong with him, and he can't prescribe the right medicine. That's why he wants to find that kind of fairy grass that can cure all diseases."

Gu Mang said blankly: "Why does Murong Chuyi keep hiding it from him..."

Mo Xi sighed: "Because their relationship has never been very good. The Yue family's family affairs are a mess."

Gu Mang stopped talking, sat and silently calculated the relationship between Jiang Yexue, Yue Chenqing, and Murong Chuyi, and finally could only hold his head and sigh: "I can't figure it out, I don't want to."

Mo Xi glanced at him: "What can't you figure out?"

Gu Mang broke his fingers and rubbed with Mo Xi: "I'm wondering why they don't have a good relationship. You should come and see Murong Chuyi first. Murong Chuyi was rescued and raised by Little White Bird's mother, but he Why should you hate his sister's child?"

This kind of sophistication, Gu Mang used to understand everything, but now he is ignorant and ignorant, so he asked Mo Xi to explain it to him.

Mo Xi said: "It's very simple. Murong Huang is also a teacher and a sister to Murong Chuyi. Although Murong Huang is called a younger brother in name, he treats him as if he is his own, and treats him like his own son. Importantly, when she married into the Yue family, she also specially asked the king to let Murong Chuyi accompany her. This is also the reason why Murong Chuyi lived in the Yue family."

Gu Mang nodded his head, "Understood, that is to say, Little White Bird and Little Dragon Girl. Speaking of uncle and nephew, they are actually more like elder brother and younger brother."

"That's right." Mo Xi said, "For Murong Chuyi, Murong Huang is his benefactor. When she was alive, Murong Chuyi stayed with her day and night, learned from her, and loved her. He naturally hopes that She got an excellent home, but Yue Juntian..."

Mo Xi pursed his lips, unwilling to make further comments on this person.

Gu Mang said clearly, "He's a bad guy."

Mo Xi said: "Yue Juntian's emotional reputation was not very good at the time. Murong Huang and him were the fingertips of the two parents in the early years, and they had a long-standing marriage contract. But Yue Jun was born with a romantic nature. The woman conceived and conceived, took her as a concubine, and gave birth to a son."

"It's amazing." Gu Mang murmured, "This means that I have a concubine before I get married to Muronghuang. Not only do I have a concubine, but I also have children."

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Is that child Jiang Yexue?"

"...Hmm." Mo Xi didn't like to talk about men and women, so he was somewhat embarrassed, "It's him."

Gu Mang said: "Then I understand why Xiaolongnv doesn't like Jiang Yexue. Yue Juntian married two wives, Murong Chuyi is the younger brother of the main wife, Muronghuang, who is on the side of the main room, Jiang Yexue But he is the son of the concubine's room, and he is on the concubine's side."

Mo Xi didn't want to discuss the issue of wives and concubines, so he lowered his eyelashes and coughed lightly, "...Yes. Such things are not uncommon among nobles, but as you said, Murong Chuyi respects his sister-in-law. In fact, he is very dissatisfied with this marriage. In addition, Yue Jun has a romantic nature, which often makes Murong Huang sad and angry... So Murong Chuyi has always had complicated feelings about this nephew who has half of Yue Juntian's blood in his bones."

Having said that, Mo Xi poured two more cups of hot tea, pushed one cup to Gu Mang's hand, and held another cup for himself.

Gu Mang said in a daze: "I don't quite understand... Even if the little white bird has half of the blood of people he doesn't like, at least it is his sister's child. Isn't there a saying that is called Ai Wu Ji Wu? Why does his sister The one you love, but he doesn't like it?"

"Because he thinks his sister is not happy. He thinks the birth of this child is a combination of mistakes."

The steam of tea is curling up, like the old grievances being talked about at this moment.

"But besides that, there is a more important reason..."

Gu Mang asked, "What is it?"

Mo Xi said: "Muronghuang's dystocia is not without reason. After she married into Yue's family, she often quarreled with Yue Juntian, causing her depression to linger. On the day of delivery, she met a woman Yue Juntian provoked outside. Coming to the mansion to make trouble, speaking dirty and unpleasant words, Murong Huang was already extremely broken and weak, after being made such a fuss, he became more and more emaciated, and finally his heart was ashamed, and he passed away."

Gu Mang was startled, and let out a low "ah".

Mo Xi sighed: "So you see, a wrong cause produced a wrong result, and finally took away Murong Chuyi's most important person in the world. After so many years, Murong Chuyi has always been serious about this matter. Can't let it go. He is now a master craftsman, and Yue Juntian wanted to melt ice with him several times, but because of this festival, he was rejected by him thousands of miles away. As for Yue Chenqing, Murong Chuyi has never known how to deal with it." After a pause, he continued, "Their family's affairs are almost like this."

Gu Mang still couldn't digest such complicated emotions, his blue eyes were filled with confusion, and after a while, he said in doubt, "But Yue Chenqing can't be blamed for Muronghuang's death, he was just a child at that time..."

Mo Xi said: "Murong Chuyi should always be very clear in his heart that this matter has nothing to do with Yue Chenqing, but being clear and letting go are always two different things."

Gu Mang rubbed his chin and repeated: "Clarity and relief are always two different things..." There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes, "Why do these words sound familiar?"

"You told me that before."

Gu Mang said in surprise, "Really? Then I'm really good."

Mo Xi: "..."

Seeing his happy and somewhat self-satisfied appearance, Mo Xi planned not to tell him, but in fact, this section about Murong Chuyi's emotional analysis was almost all what Gu Mang said to Mo Xi back then.

People's hearts are extremely complicated, and he didn't understand them before.He couldn't see through the love and hatred between people. It was Gu Mang who told him in detail, telling him why he loved and why he hated.

Mo Xi remembered that Gu Mang had mentioned Jiang Yexue when he was lying on the river beach with his hands on his arms and chatting with him about this matter.

At that time, Gu Mang spat on the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and sincerely said with emotion: "Jiang Yexue is not easy. He can actually combine clarity and relief into one. Look, Murong Chu Yi has been treating Yue Chenqing coldly for so many years because of Yijie's affairs. Jiang Yexue's mother also went, but he didn't get angry with these two people. He took it easy and treated them both politely ... Tsk tsk tsk, Buddha. Maybe I would be abnormal."

Mo Xi turned his face sideways, looking at the young man lying beside him looking at the stars, his eyes were very gentle.

He knew that Gu Mang would not, even if Gu Mang was changed to Jiang Yexue's position, Gu Mang would be relieved, would not vent his anger, would not get involved, and treat other people well.

After all, Gu Mang is so bright, just like the sun.

If someone cries with Murong Chuyi in his arms, Murong Chuyi will just push him away and walk away.If someone cries with Jiang Yexue in his arms, Jiang Yexue will kindly accompany that person when he is sad and listen to that person's complaints.

And what about Gu Mang?

If someone cried while hugging Gu Mang, Gu Mang would definitely make that person smile.

Bringing laughter and light to others is Senior Brother Gu whom he has always been in love with.

A few days later, the military affairs after the spring hunting were almost finished. Fortunately, Gu Mang took care of him. Although Mo Xi had to grind for a while every time he ate, he still ate well and lived up to the prescription prescribed by Jiang Yaoshi. Bitter medicine.

On this day, Mo Xi had nothing to do, thinking about going to the Cultivation Academy to sit down for a while, and by the way, bring back the "Hundred Herbs Collection of Gods and Demons" and show it to Yue Chenqing.After all, although this child Yue Chenqing was lazy, he had regarded his fourth uncle as a guiding light since he was a child, and when he encountered matters related to Murong Chuyi, he had always been too serious and entangled.

The child seems out of tune, but in fact, as long as he believes in one thing, he will work so hard that he is almost paranoid.The youth is fearless, passionate and easy to get confused, so it's best not to get into trouble when the time comes.

Thinking like this, after tidying up and planning to go out, Li Wei hurriedly entered the hall, with an anxious expression on his face: "My lord!"

"What's the matter? Why do you look like this?"

Li Wei said: "Something happened to the Yue Mansion."

Mo Xi shuddered, and said in his heart, can't he?What are you worried about?Asked: "Is it Yue Chenqing..."

Li Wei opened his eyes wide: "Yes! Master, why did you guess right? Young Master Yue is gone!"
