The night is getting deeper, a bright moon walks in the sky, the most well-known guest inn in Zhengzhou City, the lights are brilliant, the crowd is crowded, five or six people in front of the gate carry lanterns to the end of the road and pray, the jumping firelight seems to be eagerly waiting for the happy event to welcome the door.

Finally, after a bumpy day, Yan Muxi's carriage and horse arrived as scheduled, although the time was much later, someone had already reported in advance to explain the situation encountered on the way.
Before the carriage reached the door, the inside and outside of the inn were already like boiling water, and it was bustling and busy.
Mu Xi lazily sat down in the best upper room to rest under the support of five or six maids, the Zheng family is a big family in the capital, all the subordinates serve properly, in an orderly manner, although there are many people, but in order.
All the utensils in the room are brand new and clean, the corner of the brocade quilt on the bed is embroidered with the word "Zheng" with thin gold thread, and the pink bead curtain has been placed in front of the door in advance.
"Young lady, Zheng Yuan, the big housekeeper of the Zheng family." Through the gap in the curtain, Mu Xi saw a middle-aged man standing respectfully outside the door, saluting in a proper manner.
"It turned out that the big housekeeper came, and it was hard work to keep you waiting." Mu Xi liked the Zheng family's strict etiquette very much, and responded respectfully.
"This is the duty of the subordinates, I dare not say that it is hard, the young lady is tired of driving, so she really needs to take a good rest. According to the ancestral system, the groom should have gone to the bride's house to personally invite relatives, but recently the prince was rushed into the palace by the emperor, and has not returned so far. ”
The housekeeper's voice was steady and soothing, although Mu Xi felt tired, but looking at the glittering dowry on the table, enjoying the gentle and considerate care of his hair by the maids, it didn't matter if the groom came or not.
"There is a labor housekeeper who bothered, but do you have anything to eat, and suddenly I am a little hungry." Mu Xi asked softly.
The housekeeper replied even more slowly, "Young Mrs. Hui, I know that you don't like greasy, and my subordinates have prepared some light meals in advance, so I will order someone to bring them to you." ”
Mu Xi politely asked the housekeeper to step back, looked at himself in the mirror and sighed involuntarily, "Finally getting married?" ”
"Are you in such a hurry to get married?" Suddenly, a cold voice came from the beam.
This voice Mu Xi couldn't be more familiar, "Guan Xiao! There you are! Mu Xi suddenly stopped feeling tired, and stood up from the chair to look at the place where the voice came from.
"Who is it?!! So bold, come to ......" The leading maid did not know the identity of the person who came, but saw a handsome man who turned over from the roof beam, thought there was a thief, was shocked, and was about to call the guard.
"Shut up! Not an outsider! Mu Xi hurriedly stopped the maid and walked towards Guan Xiao with a smile on her face.
"Young lady, before tomorrow's wedding, you can't see men other than the groom! This is the ancestral ......" The maid stopped Mu Xi unrelentingly.
The corners of Mu Xi's mouth curled, his neck crooked, and he impatiently pushed the maid away, "Ancestral system?? Can't see it? Hmph, I've met several men today! None of them are grooms, and your ancestry has nothing to do with me! ”
"I'm married, and I'm still so rude."
Mu Xi came to Guan Xiao and grinned, listening to him say the weird words of yin and yang, he was not angry or strange.
Guan Xiao, the adopted son of the owner of Yan Zhuang, grew up with Mu Xi, with strong martial arts and a handsome body, and he was most afraid of seeing Mu Xi's crying and laughing.
"Don't smile at me, it's not a good thing for you to smile like this!" Guan Xiao said to Mu Xi lightly like a wooden man. In Guan Xiao's heart, Mu Xi is the most important in the world, Mu Xi is the closest in the world, and Mu Xi is the most loved in the world...... His whole world is Mu Xi's shadow, and he regards himself as Mu Xi's shadow.
"Are you really here, at this time, to appear in this way?" Mu Xi ripped off the Xia curtain on his body, took Guan Xiao's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go, I depend on you for everything!" "In the depths of Mu Xi's heart, I really hope to have a vigorous love, to have a twists and turns and bizarre experience, and to find a place that only belongs to love and a leisurely life.
"Where?" Guan Xiaoleng asked.
"Didn't you come to elope with me? I promised, I'll go with you. Mu Xi put away his smile and held hands with Guan Xiao solemnly, face to face, waiting for his answer.
Mu Xi stared at Guan Xiao's lowered gaze, and the spark that had just flashed in his heart disappeared like a bubble, only to feel so lost.
"I'm here to quit, Xiaoxi, I'm going to apprentice and learn martial arts, I'm ......" Guan Xiao's voice was slightly choked.
Mu Xi immediately adjusted back to her nonchalant state, turned around and sat back in front of the dressing mirror, and coldly interrupted his words, she didn't want to listen anymore, everything was meaningless. "I see, you can go."
"Xiaoxi ......" Guan Xiao wanted to explain something.
"You are too selfish, I married and retired to the rivers and lakes, and my father was already struggling to take care of the villa, and you left him at this time, how could I bear it?!" Mu Xi's voice became more and more sharp, full of rebuke and resentment.
"If you're not there, I can't live, there's your shadow everywhere, I can't stand it!" Guan Xiao was like a child who had made a mistake, muttering to himself, as if he was afraid that Mu Xi would hear it, and he would vomit.
"A seven-foot man stands up to the sky, why can't he live, and how can't he accept it!" The resentment in Mu Xi's heart for many years suddenly erupted, "You are so weak, how can you stand on your own feet, and how can you protect me?" Could it be that at this critical juncture, do you need me to protect you? ”
Mu Xi only felt that the blood in her whole body was rushing to her brain, the parting of marriage, her elderly father, the busy villa, countless patients, the so-called childhood sweetheart in front of her, who she had been waiting for for many years, was afraid that she would never be able to achieve the image of the mighty hero in her mind.
Homesickness, homesickness, worry, tiredness, and now there is another complete disappointment.
Mu Xi endured it, not letting the tears flow, biting his lip, pursing his lips, and ruthlessly, "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, since you have decided to leave, then you must learn something, if there is a lack of clothing, I will arrange for the villa account office to supplement the payment, you retreat." ”
In Leyou Villa, Mu Xi is the owner of the young village, and the owner of Yan Zhuang only wants to be relaxed and comfortable, and has been a shopkeeper for many years. Guan Xiao bowed his head slightly, which was regarded as a salute and farewell.
"Young Owner ......"
Mu Xi turned her back to the man who had been abandoned by her, and calmly cut straight in, "Needless to say, when I wash my hands in the golden basin, I will no longer be the owner of the young village, and I will be renamed Mrs. Zheng in the future." ”
"Yes, Zheng ...... Madam, recently the case you instructed your subordinates to investigate has begun to take shape, this matter is very dangerous, Guan Xiao is worried about your safety, please be more careful. ”
While Guan Xiao was talking, the maid handed a letter to Mu Xi.
Mu Xi glanced at it, and the maid put it on the table with interest. Guan Xiao understood Mu Xi's personality and knew that there was no longer a chance or need to speak, so he bowed lightly, turned over and jumped out of the window.
"What's your name?" Listening to Guan Xiao's voice far away, facing the four or five handsome maids in the room, Mu Xi was sitting precariously and interrogated.
Only after the maids saluted and reported their names one by one, Mu Xi slowly stood up, carefully looked at them one by one with his eyes, and said fiercely, "There are many people, and it is eventful, although I Yan Muxi is a person in the rivers and lakes, but I am not as light and delicate as looking for a little woman...... Do you understand? ”
The maids were so frightened by Mu Xi's hot and cold personality that they fell to their knees one after another, competing to say that they would never dare to disobey her.
"In the end, it is a subordinate who is disciplined by a big family, it is clear!" Mu Xi has managed Jianghu Villa for many years, this little trick is handy, seeing these little girls' attendants so well-behaved, she is very satisfied, and her tone is a little softer, "What happened just now?" ”
"Nothing happened......"
Mu Xi smiled at a glance, ordered someone to take the usual copper coins from the dowry box, handed them to the leading maid, and ordered with a smile, "Take it and divide it, get up." ”
The maids thanked each other and saluted again, and each went to collect the reward money happily.
After some incidents, Mu Xi, who was already a little depressed, looked through the letter left by Guan Xiao, and the general content on it was, "The disappearance of many doctors is related to the half-smile"
Suddenly there was a cold war, and Mu Xi had an ominous premonition.
