Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 120 Climbing Together on Double Ninth Festival, Confession
Baili Jiuge calmed down, smiled and comforted: "Don't be sad, life is so unpredictable, there is no need to see through life and death, let me tell you, just take one step at a time, who knows if there will be good news tomorrow? ?”

When I said this, a thought suddenly occurred to me, and I said deliberately: "At least I think that you are wrong when you marry me. You said that you like me very much, so is this unexpected marriage at the beginning considered a good thing?"

Mo Li's expression was slightly raised, and he was no longer surprised by Baili Jiuge's occasional astonishing words.He half-closed the scroll, turned to stare at her, and smiled slightly: "Mmm..."

Baili Jiuge smiled happily: "So, don't think too much about it, just do what you want, it's best to be free and easy in everything."

"Well, yes..." Mo Li sighed softly.What he likes is this kind of Jiuge, but as for himself, he can't behave like her, and he can't do whatever he wants with what he is carrying.

I could only say: "I'm fine, don't worry about me anymore. To be honest, ever since I have you by my side, I feel that my heart is much richer than before. Those joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys that I deliberately put away in the past are also like Gradually waking up."

"This is a good thing!" Baili Jiuge sighed, excited in his heart, and said, "No wonder I heard from friends in the world that before marrying a wife, the relationship is monotonous, but after having a wife, it will be colorful all day long!"

Mo Li couldn't help but laugh.Emotional monotony?The word doesn't seem to match his situation.

And Baili Jiuge seemed so excited at the moment, that he started to talk nonsense: "By the way, Mo Li, I also heard from those friends in the rivers and lakes that men and women prayed to the church and drank Hebei wine, but it was only in name. Husband and wife, you have to consummate the room to be considered a real couple."

She stood up, stared at Mo Li with piercing eyes, and asked with a smile, "You passed out the day we worshiped, and if you don't pray, you won't. But Mo Li, do you know what a 'consummated house' is?"

Mo Li frowned slightly, seemingly helpless, "Silly girl..."

Baili Jiuge muttered: "What do you mean? You are six years older than me, so you must have seen and heard more than me. I don't believe you don't know! But I heard from those friends in the rivers and lakes that consummating a house requires men and women to do one thing together. Anyway, I've been married to you for so long now, if you know how to do this, teach me how to do it together."

Mo Li was speechless.At this moment, I feel that the gangster buddies Baili Jiuge talks about are really not very kind.

Just like that, he sighed slowly, the sunlight refracted from the corners of his eyes, like golden cicada wings, with a bit of interest, a bit of helplessness, and a lingering sense of melancholy.

It's not that he doesn't desire to have all of her, he really wants to.Especially at the beginning, because he felt sorry for her and always got hurt, he proposed to let her sleep with him every night. Since then, he often endured the pain of burning his body, even if he turned his back to sleep, but when he dreamed back at midnight, Hearing her shallow breathing and silly sleep talking all aroused the most primitive desire in his heart, and it took him a lot of effort to hold it back.

Thinking about it now, it was he himself who insisted on keeping her to sleep with her, and he really committed a crime on his own.After all, regardless of his physical condition, he knew that he was destined to have a short life, and he really couldn't bear to delay her youth.

Seeing that Mo Li was silent, Baili Jiuge felt strange, "Mo Li, why are you silent?"

Hearing this, Mo Li smiled slightly, and gently stroked the top of Baili Jiuge's head, "It's okay..."

Baili Jiuge blinked, for some reason, she felt as if she could see the pain buried in the deepest part of his eyes.

"Mo Li, what's wrong with you? Did you think of something unhappy?"

Mo Li was surprised.It turned out that without knowing it, she had been gradually getting close to his heart, and she was able to detect his impeccable emotions that were hidden in the first place.

"I'm fine, Jiu Ge." In the end, he could only comfort her like this.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Yu Feng's voice came from outside the door, "His Royal Highness, Miss Lie Huo is asking to see you, please go alone."

The strange light in Mo Li's eyes flashed past, and he replied "Understood", and softly said to Baili Jiuge: "Go to sleep for a while, I'll go to the study first."

"Mo Li..." Baili Jiuge's displeasure immediately painted on his face.

She watched Mo Li get up slowly, watched him arrange his clothes, wash his face, and hairpin... she watched him put on the brocade gauntlet and disappear behind the screen.

The sour feeling was infused into Baili Jiuge's heart, and it intensified little by little.

Lie Huo, Lie Huo again, what are Lie Huo and Mo Li talking about every time, why do they close the door to exclude her?
No matter what he and Mo Li talked about, they didn't shy away from Li Huo, but why did Mo Li shy away from her because of Li Huo?

Baili Jiuge's chest heaved and rose more violently.She knows that according to her own temperament, she usually doesn't care about being excluded, but now that she knows how to like someone and care about someone, she can no longer bear such things.

She even suddenly felt, could it be that Mo Li didn't treat her wholeheartedly, but that he had already given part of his heart to Agni before her?
The little hand tightened violently, and the bed sheet pinched between the fingers was pinched into wrinkles.

Baili Jiuge couldn't lie here anymore, so she simply got up to take care of herself, hurriedly rushed out of the bedroom, and headed towards the study.

At the door of the study, she saw Yu Feng and Yu Lei guarding here, just like last time, very vigilant and sensitive, especially seeing her appear, the expressions of the two became even more vigilant.

This made Baili Jiuge feel that he had been hit by a stick in the heart, and the pain was unbearable.She looked at the tightly closed doors and windows of the study room, but couldn't hear what the people inside were saying, so she could only swallow her bitterness, and turned to leave.

And Mo Li in the study had already sensed the coming and going of the people outside, and couldn't help feeling disappointed in his heart, drooping his eyes in silence, and didn't say a word for a long time...

But Dao Baili Jiuge was depressed, so he planned to take a walk outside to get some air, so he jumped over the wall and went out immediately, thinking of going to Nanshidao Street to visit the owners of Banqin and Mipu, and see where Banqin is the nearest Business is going well.

After walking like this, I also heard incredible events from the streets and alleys.

Many people were discussing the chaos that occurred in the exorcism ceremony yesterday, vividly talking about the whole process of the lone geese attacking Bailiyue and finally being rescued by the masked man.

However, another thing shocked Baili Jiuge—it is said that after the ceremony, Princess Ruyi and her son-in-law went to the countryside to see the scenery together, but they were attacked by robbers and all the attendants were killed. The whereabouts of the princess are unknown, and only the son-in-law crawled back covered in blood. It is said that his spirit was greatly stimulated, and he was already insane, and no amount of treatment could cure him.

This incident surprised Baili Jiuge all the way, but what she didn't know was—in fact, what Yin Liehuo came to Shizi Mansion and told Mo Li was that she found Yin Ruyi under the cliff yesterday, and the follow-up The various arrangements of the layout...

Yin Liehuo told Mo Li that in order to make the follow-up arrangements go smoothly, she still needs a helper, and this helper, which she has already secured, is Empress Yuan.Yin Liehuo will tell Queen Yuan the whole story, and she believes that Queen Yuan will cooperate with her.

Yin Liehuo didn't finish his narration until it was almost time.

Before leaving, she remembered something and asked Mo Li: "In a few days, it will be the Double Ninth Festival on September [-]th. I think you will go climbing with Jiu Ge."

Mo Li responded lightly.

Yin Liehuo's brows were a little twisted, and his heart was also pinched by the painful feeling, but he still whispered softly: "I have some high-quality cornel wine in my house. When my mother was alive, in order to be with my father on the Chongyang Festival I brewed it by myself. Both of them are gone now, and I can’t climb high in this state, so I want to give you the cornel wine, and hope that you can drink the cornel wine for our family of three. Down, leave some to fall between the cliffs."

Mo Li nodded lightly, and replied solemnly: "Okay."

The days that followed passed quickly, and there were rumors in the capital, and the people were discussing the day when they practiced exorcising ghosts almost every day, and when the stimulated spirit of the young master of the Rong family would recover.

These gossips and gossips, which never stopped, did not subside until September [-]th, the day before the Double Ninth Festival.

On the night of September [-]th, Baili Jiuge was preparing for the ascent on September [-]th, and specifically checked whether Mo Li's clothes were still wearing the soul-returning grass sachet given by Ziqi.

When everything was confirmed, it happened that Yin Liehuo's house sent two jars of cornel wine, so Baili Jiuge found a strong square cloth, tied a pocket, packed the cornel wine, and packed it again Some other tools, and finally made the cloth bag bulging.

So, the next day, when Mo Li saw a big cloth bag behind her, he couldn't help but laugh.She looked like she had gone on a long journey.

On the contrary, Baili Jiuge didn't feel that she was carrying a lot of things, so she didn't allow Mo Li to carry this cloth bag, she said: "I only pack light things, and those two jars of wine are not heavy, you can just climb the mountain Yes, I will memorize these things by myself. I have practiced martial arts, so this is a piece of cake, isn’t it?”

After saying that, he ran out by himself, and before getting into the carriage, he realized that he should help Mo Li up first, so he quickly adjusted and got up step by step.

Today's weather is very good, it is the time of autumn.Baili Jiuge only returned to the imperial capital last winter, so I have never seen autumn here in the imperial capital. The sky was as clear as a glass ball, light blue, with some thin silver clouds curling up, infinite high.

In addition, the sun was shining and warm, and the autumn wind blowing on the face was refreshing and pleasant, so after getting off the carriage, Baili Jiuge's whole mental state was very excited.

Yufeng parked the carriage not far from the foot of the mountain, Baili Jiuge took Mo Li's hand, slowed down his pace, and led him to a path that was less traveled but not too difficult, and they boarded together.

While supporting the climb, the two of them looked into the distance, but from here, they could see another commonly used mountain road full of people from the imperial capital, which was far less clean than this side.

Baili Jiuge proudly told Mo Li that the current mountain road was created by the senior ghost doctor during the year of collecting medicine, and it is really easy to use.

However, as soon as the ghost doctor was mentioned, Baili Jiuge murmured in confusion: "Senior ghost doctor left without saying goodbye, and Gu Yan and I didn't know about it. It's been more than a month, and we haven't seen him send us a letter." a letter."

Mo Li thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "The ghost doctor is also from your Qihua Valley, maybe something happened in their valley."

"It's possible..." Baili Jiuge was thoughtful, "To be honest, each of our seven flower valleys has its own secrets, just like senior ghost doctor, I don't even know which valley he belongs to. Excluding Phoenix Valley, Yuejian Valley, which only has women, and Xiao Rong's Epiphyllum Valley...Which one will it be?"

Unable to figure it out, she simply didn't want to, Baili Jiuge stopped, took out the handkerchief she had specially prepared from her arms, turned around, and wiped off the ink.

The clean and fluffy square handkerchief stroked his forehead, temples, eyelids, and jaw... Baili Jiuge was as focused as ever.

This way, Baili Jiuge always led Mo Li, and after walking for a while, he helped him find a big rock to rest for a while.She took advantage of the gap to find water sources, fetched water from the bamboo tubes prepared in advance, and gave them to Mo Li to drink.

After walking and resting like this, at about noon, the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain.There happened to be a few big trees here, which could provide shade and coolness. After Baili Jiuge put the cloth bag under the trees, he went to the top of the mountain to look at the distant scenery.

I saw the stretching mountains, Tangtang Xijiang, rice paddies and fertile fields, the magnificent imperial capital in the distance, and the Zheyue Tower towering into the clouds... At this moment, it seems that they are all just like projectiles, densely packed together, and finally form this picture. The picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can be seen in the eyes.

The wind blowing against her face was a bit strong, Baili Jiuge raised her sleeves, the wind-filled red dress swayed flamboyantly, her black hair flaunted behind her head, her clear eyes reflected the skylight and cloud shadows, she opened her lips, and let out a sigh of relief. A string of candid laughter.

"Mo Li, do you know? When I was young, I always stood on the Phoenix Mountain and looked at it. The Phoenix flowers all over the mountain will not wither all year round, and they will bloom like fire. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. , I really hope that one day you can go back with me and have a look."

While talking, he turned his head and smiled heartily at Mo Li: "Okay, now I'll go over and take out all the things I packed up yesterday."

She went under the tree and took out the things in the cloth bag one by one.In addition to the two jars of dogwood wine that Yin Liehuo gave, there was also a set of white porcelain tea sets, a box of Kunlun snow chrysanthemums, and pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Baili Jiuge smiled happily and said, "I thought the alpine snow chrysanthemum I drank at Xiaorong's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival last time was good. I heard that it also has the effect of nourishing the body. I asked him to ask for some. This time Bring it for you to drink! As for me, of course I drink."

While talking, he brewed tea for Mo Li, opened another wine jar, filled it up for himself, and drank first.

While drinking, he chanted: "Chrysanthemum cup of cornel wine, Yangliu Village along Shijing Mountain! Nine or nine times, fortunately, the city is not full of wind and rain. Three or three festivals, so we can climb Fuguo Yunshan together! Good wine, really good wine!"

Mo Li smiled softly: "Don't drink in such a hurry, be careful not to choke."

"No way!" Baili Jiuge smiled coquettishly, his brows and eyes curved.

After the Kunlun snow chrysanthemum was brewed, Mo Li gracefully held the cup and sipped the tea slowly.This room has a hundred miles and nine songs, but bowl after bowl, drinking happily, singing a few lines sassyly while drinking, and finally even came up with a line: "The ancient sages are lonely, but the drinkers keep their names!" Indeed, Mo Li couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, Mo Li." Baili Jiuge suddenly put down the pottery bowl, now because he thought that the wine was brought from Yin Liehuo's house, he couldn't help thinking about the situation when Yin Liehuo came to see Mo Li that day.

She couldn't help but ask clearly: "Mo Li, tell me one thing, is it because you have always liked Agni before I married you?"

This sudden question made Mo Li look pale and pale, but it was just a snap of the fingers, and he was as gentle and elegant as ever.

He put down his teacup slowly, and stared at Baili Jiuge seriously, "Why did you say that?"

"I..." Baili Jiuge muttered: "I just think you guys have a tacit understanding, and you always discuss things without telling me, as if I were excluded, so, that's why I have this kind of assumption , I don’t know if I think right or not.”

Mo Li lowered his eyes slightly, the bright sunlight made the two round shadows cast by his eyelashes on his eye sockets even deeper.The moon-like eyes, under the deep shadow, are like an ancient cave that never ends, dark and unpredictable.

In fact, the answer is very simple, he fully knows who the person in his heart is.Although he used to never express his thoughts to others directly, but since he promised her to try to change, then he might as well... just tell her frankly.

He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Baili Jiuge.

"You'd better stop talking, Mo Li. It's me who is looking for trouble, knowing that you are not the kind of person who goes straight to the point, so I insist on you answering this question..."

She thought for a while, then spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she had prepared, poured water, grinded the ink, and said with a smile: "I brought the four treasures of the study here, originally because I thought we could make poems and have fun. How about I think so , Mo Li, just write a poem and answer my questions in the poem. First of all, say that you have to blend in with the scene and write well, and you can’t perfuse me with common words. Then, this matter is over, and I won’t ask any more. You don't have to explain any more."

Mo Li said nothing, and looked up at Baili Jiuge, feeling sorry for her and wronging herself for him.

Seeing that he was silent, Baili Jiuge made up his own mind, picked up the cold jade pen, dipped it in ink, handed it to Mo Li, and stretched out two small hands to flatten the rice paper, waiting for him to write.

Mo Li pondered for a moment, then picked up a pen to write. The black characters on the white rice paper were as elegant and gentle as his person, but with a sharp edge hidden, like a peerless sword sealed deep inside.

"Mo Weixiang Luo looks back to the place where the wine is poured to make the world taste deep..." Baili Jiuge read out his poem curiously: "This seems to say that sitting alone in a quiet and elegant place, but helplessly Drinking booze."

The ink dripped without saying a word, and the pen kept writing.

"Leaning on the railing alone, the wind is soft, and Zhong Shuang's voice is far away... This person seems really helpless and lonely."

Pen up, pen down.

"Hundreds of lovesickness is helpless, and there is nothing to talk about Liang Chen..."

Baili Jiuge frowned.

This sentence is saying, this person, he likes someone in his heart but is very helpless, can't he say it?The person in Mo Li's poem should refer to himself.The person he likes in that poem, is she?

But why is he so helpless and unable to speak?Didn't he already tell her that he likes her very much?
Wait...Could it be that the person he likes in the poem refers not to her, but to Agni? !

This recognition made Baili Jiuge tremble all over, as if his body fell from the top of the mountain, smashing his body to pieces.It turned out that what Mo Li wanted to express was that because of her relationship, his affection for Yin Liehuo could only be buried in his heart, and he could not express it.

Baili Jiuge couldn't help laughing, his face turned pale, his expression was extremely uncomfortable.Her lips were bloodshot from being bitten, and she almost endured it before reading the last sentence written by Mo Li.

"September [-]th is today, and the wine of Geyulan is full."
