Mei Gongqing

Chapter 2



Outside the screen window, the sky is so high and cold. A few sparse and light stars are hanging on the vast sky, which looks very lonely.

Chen Rong looks away from the bronze mirror and stares at the night sky for a long time. She leans back, closes her eyes and waits for time to pass.

In recent nights, every time she woke up from nightmares, she always sat until dawn. Not to miss, not because hate is too strong, but because, she likes to sit so quietly, can look up to the sky, can experience again and again the surprise of being human again!

Slowly, a mist appeared in the sky and earth, slowly, a voice of two people, in the fresh morning air.

That voice, at first only one or two, gradually more and more, gradually, the voice turned noisy.

Footsteps, last night that gentle concern of the middle-aged female voice, "a Rong, up collapsed?"

Chen Rong stood up and said, "yes."

The middle-aged female voice quickly said: "come forward, wash and rinse for Aron."

"Squeak" sound, a handmaid with a water basin walked into the room, and the middle-aged woman came behind Chen Rong to comb her long hair.

The middle-aged woman has a round face and small eyes. Between the curved eyebrows and eyes, there is a sense of peace and kindness. She looked at Chen Rong carefully and said, "the servants are ready to go at any time."

Chen Rong said "yes". The middle-aged woman saw that her face was peaceful and her heart was relaxed. She said, "ah Rong, this place is not good. It must be moved to the south. Our Chen family is better than other families. After all, we have clans all over the south. "

Chen Rong said "yes".

When the middle-aged woman saw that she deserved lightness, her face was not as trance as the two days before, and she was very happy. She said, "ah Rong, do you understand? I should not have nightmares tonight. "

Chen Rong nodded.

At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from the outside, "a Rong, your clothes are ready. When will you start?"

Hearing the man's familiar voice, Chen Rong suddenly asked, "what day is it today?"

The middle-aged man was stunned and replied, "Xin Chou RI."

Xinchou day? Chen Rongteng stands up, Xin Chou day! Yes, three days later in the middle of the night, she ushered in the first disaster in her life.

In the middle-aged woman's surprise, she slowly sat down again, "are you Uncle Wu?"

The middle-aged man outside the door was even more surprised. He shouted, "yes, I'm Uncle Wu. What's the matter with you, Aron? " As he said this, he pushed the door straight open, and a face with a few moustaches on its jaw appeared in front of Chen Rong.

At the moment when Chen Rong combed and washed, it was really impolite for a man to push the door so carelessly.

Chen Rong looks up at the middle-aged man. Second life, she can see the hidden cruelty from this gentle and kind face!

The man in front of her was originally a scholar saved by her father when he traveled. For a long time, he was treated as a friend by his father and kept in the mansion respectfully. He also asked her to match the servants in the mansion with the word "Uncle"!

But it was this man who, in collusion with the robbers, broke into the house the night before she was going to move south, robbed her property and fled.

If her father had not kept some gold in his study, she would not have been able to go to the south in the last life. She would have been a beggar!

Chen Rong stared at Uncle Wu and said slowly, "start in the afternoon!"

"What? Starting in the afternoon? A Rong, why don't you wait a few more days? "

Chen Rong chuckled in secret. She said with a calm face, "I said. I'll start in the afternoon."

After all, she was still young and had no prestige. The middle-aged man looked at Chen Rong's back and called out, "Ping Ru, tell ah Rong what a great event it is to move south. How can you say to leave?" Speaking of this, he thought of one thing, said in a loud voice, "what's more, you've had nightmares for several nights. Since you're not feeling well, why don't you take another two days off?"

The round face kind-hearted woman hurriedly came up to Chen Rong and said, "girl, Uncle Wu has a reason to say that..." As soon as she opened her mouth, Chen Rong interrupted and said, "I said, starting in the afternoon!"

Uncle Wu is refuting. When he looks into her dark eyes, he is shocked and shivering. He is going to blurt out his words, and he is dumb in his throat.

Chen Rong took back his eyes and ordered, "take the door."

Wu shuyileng, just woke up to what she said is himself, he closed the door with consternation, a moment of uneasiness in his heart: what's wrong with ah Rong? So much change?

As soon as Wu Shu left, Chen Rong came to the study. The study is full of bamboo slips and silk books. In the past, after Uncle Wu colluded with thieves to rob her family fortune, she was desperate to think of her father once said: if there is an accident, you can visit the study. After a frantic cry and brawl in her study, she accidentally found a large number of gold leaves in these bamboo and silk books. It was these gold leaves that made her so desperate.

Outside, "jingling and banging" was heard all the time. It was the servants and maidservants busy cleaning up. Now that the courtyards are almost packed up, they will be transferred to the study soon.The voices of those people, the noise, the shouts of the rough people, are really beautiful. How could she not have found out before?

Chen Rong slowly knelt down on the collapse table, opened a silk book with his hands, but listened attentively to the various voices full of life.

I don't know for a long time, a cry came from outside the door, "a Rong can be in the study? Old sun is here. "

It's Uncle Wu's voice!

Chen Rong's face sank: he still didn't give up. Even sun Lao moved here!

Wu Shudi yelled again, "Ping Nu, is ah Rong in the study? When sun knew that she was not well, he came to visit her. Tell Aron to welcome her. "

Chen Rong stood up, and before Ping Nu answered, she answered clearly, "here comes." Then she opened the study door.

At the gate of the garden stood an old man with pale hair. He was Sun Lao. Before she left, her father asked sun Lao to take care of and discipline Chen Rong. She has no right to speak in front of the old man!

Chen Rong glanced at Wu Shu, who was proud of his face, and collected his lapel. "I've seen sun Lao."

Sun Lao nodded. He went to Chen Rong and looked up and down at her. "I heard that you have nightmares at night. Have you ever had a doctor or a witch?"

Chen Rong shook his head and replied, "nothing."

Old sun frowned, and Uncle Wu saw it and said to one side, "please advise ah Rong quickly, old man. In this case, she said that she would leave after noon. How far is the journey to the south? If one or two things go wrong, is it beyond regret? "

Sun Lao nodded, his eyes glanced at Ping Nu, who was standing behind Chen Rong, and said, "Ping Nu, please let your girl into the room, and start three days later."

"Yes!"

Sun Lao then turned to his maidservants and told them, "this is not a joke. You take good care of ah Rong. If she is stubborn again, she will be locked! "

"Yes!"

"Have you invited both the Witch and the doctor?"

"Yes!"

Sun Lao's order sentence after sentence, the words said, a long sleeve, then turned away.

Wu shuchao glanced at Chen Rong and others, smirked when no one noticed, and walked up to sun Lao.
