Chapter Eighty-Nine: Good Luck
When he came to the inner room, Ji Xiang timidly took off his cloak for Mu Xi, turned around and hung it carefully. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How old are you?" Mu Xi asked softly.
"Back to the master, auspicious fifteen years old."
Mu Xi didn't ask, she was already timid, and when she was asked by Mu Xi at this time, she straightened her legs, bowed her head and stood by the wall, and her answer was crisp.
"Which master did you serve?"
"Back to the master, it turns out that Jixiang is a slave who was sold to the Liao Kingdom, and it was the prince who brought me here from the slave camp, saying that he was serving a nobleman."
Mu Xi believed that the person that the prince found must be safe and reliable, sitting at the table, watching the prince and Yu Lang in the courtyard greetings, the witch doctor from the kitchen to the living room kept busy, and several guards were helping to prepare wine and food next to him.
"Who sold you?"
"By my father."
Mu Xi turned her head, the little girl in front of her, although her face was immature, her eyes were flexible, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, a small mouth, reddish and light, although her body was slender, she was not weak, her legs and feet were brisk, her actions were very fast, and she secretly praised her as a good personal maid.
"How could your father give up on such a lovely daughter?"
"The family is too poor to live, there are two younger sisters and a younger brother to take care of, my mother is sick again, my father has no money to buy medicine, I sold auspicious, maybe I can meet someone who can eat, perhaps, my mother's illness can also be cured."
Seeing that Jixiang had been leaning nervously against the wall, thinking that she was also a hard-working child, Mu Xi felt pity, "How long have you been away from home?" ”
"Back to the master, it's been a year, last year, it was the beginning of winter, Jixiang took one last look at his mother, and now, it's late autumn......" Her voice began to choke, but she tried her best to suppress it.
"Where was it sold? How do you get into the slave camp? ”
"Back to the master, my father sold Jixiang to Master Li and made a girl for Miss Li, but last year, Miss went out to look for relatives and was robbed by Liao bandits from halfway...... Well...... I was caught in a slave camp......" Ji Xiang said as he burst into tears.
Mu Xi looked at the child in front of him, he should have been a happy and happy year, but now he is displaced, and he has suffered a lot, "Okay, don't cry, how did you meet the prince?" ”
Ji Xiang quickly wiped away his tears, "Back to the master, on the day I was just captured, the prince was riding a horse in the hunting ground next to the slave camp, and when he saw me crying, he asked the cell boss to assign me to the women's cell, responsible for repairing the prince's clothes every day, responsible for raising horses for the prince, and was free from the torture of many guards. ”
"Do you know about Tie Li?" Mu Xi's eyes lit up and looked at Jixiang.
"Auspicious, that Tieli is the most spiritual of all horses, according to the king's orders, it is never tethered, let Tieli run everywhere by himself, every once in a while, it will come back and turn, let me wash its body, and then run out again. They all said that the Tie Li was changed by the imperial concubine, and there was the ghost of the imperial concubine Yanran on it. ”
"And what do you think?" Mu Xi looked over tentatively.
Ji Xiang thought for a while, and his nervousness was also released at the moment, "I don't think so, a good horse is a good horse, and people are fools, why can't horses have one or two extremely smart ones!?" Tie Li is smart, and has nothing to do with ghosts! ”
"Does the prince have any special instructions for you?" Listening to Jixiang's own opinions, Mu Xi was very satisfied, this girl was exactly what she wanted, but she still had concerns.
"Back to the master, yes, before coming, the prince said that the prince's life was saved by the nobles, this wild wolf that spans thousands of miles, all of them are afraid of the nobles, but the world is full of good people and many tribulations, and the nobles are suffering now, so they should be auspicious for the prince, solve the worries of the nobles, and do the virtue of gratitude."
Mu Xi listened to these polite words, like the style of the prince, and then saw that there was no longer the prince and the horse in the courtyard, she didn't like these words, "How long have you memorized these words?" ”
As soon as the auspicious heard Mu Xi's words, he immediately knelt on the ground, "Master, these words, auspicious feet all the way, the prince saved auspicious in times of danger, auspicious can not be reciprocated, now the prince has an auspicious place, it is an auspicious blessing, it is the time to be grateful for the return, auspicious can not speak, what to say, I don't understand the rules, I don't know how to see the master's mood to do things, I learn, I can't learn?" I will listen to the master in the future, as long as I am by the master's side, I can't learn? …… Whining...... Master, don't want me, I don't want to go back to the slave camp, woo......"
The auspicious words pierced Mu Xi's heart, these words, she had heard them, and she was crying beside her like this, and she was also praying with such sincerity, but the person who cried to her at the beginning had already died on the spot.
Mu Xi looked at the sky, pressed his nostalgia for Mu Lin deeply to the bottom of his heart, turned his head, gently picked up the auspiciousness of the person who cried into tears, and comforted softly, "It's not that I don't want you, it's that I'm a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, I don't know how long I can live, I'm afraid that if you follow me, you will also have to suffer." ”
"Auspicious is not afraid! The cell boss hung Jixiang up and beat him, and Jixiang didn't say a soft word! Jixiang is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that he will not see his five fingers in the house, and he will be alone, and he doesn't know how long he will stay. ”
"Okay, if you are prepared, let's go out, the prince and the colt are probably still waiting."
In her auspicious and resolute gaze, Mu Xi saw Mu Lin's big flickering eyes, she didn't dare to look at it anymore, turned her head, commanded, and walked towards the living room.
"Hahahaha, this winter hunting is the most exciting thing of the year, this winter, Jinglu must compete with the horses."
"The prince is modest, the past can not be mentioned again, it was all because he was vigorous and didn't understand the rules, but fortunately, the prince was magnanimous and didn't care about Yu Lang, where did Yu Lang dare to get an axe, try again this year, and he will inevitably be laughed at by the prince."
"Meet the prince, donkey" Mu Xi listened to the discussion in the living room, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and he walked out lightly and saluted with a smile.
"Hey, Mu Xi, come on, sit down."
Mu Xi nodded in response, and looked up, the seat of the prince's finger was not the vacant seat next to him, but next to Yu Lang, opposite the prince.
She followed the prince's gesture and sat down beside Yu Lang as if nothing had happened, "What about the prince?" Didn't see him when you came back? ”
"He's been talking about you for a day, and I see, he doesn't think so much of me when I'm away from him! Lei'er ran around the yard with Tie Li in the outer courtyard for an unknown number of laps, tired, just ate something first, and went to bed early, I have never seen this child, so relaxed, so happy! ”
The prince was in front of Mu Xi, his eyebrows fluttered, he was very happy, she smiled slightly, since the prince was not there, why did she let her sit next to Yu Lang? She secretly speculated, and became more and more unable to understand the prince.
"Jixiang, what are you doing standing stupidly, pouring wine!"
When Jixiang responded to the king's instructions, he hurriedly filled the table for the three people one by one.
I only heard the prince raise his glass, "Tomorrow, today I will travel far away, so today, this banquet is specially set up, and I invite the horses to help." ”
