Chapter 410: Who Counts
With a turn of thought, Mu Xiaofeng looked at Qin Xianglan, still smiling gently like a spring breeze and asked, "I don't know if Miss Qin remembers what my brother said when he left the jade pendant for you?" ”
She felt that since her brother was in a hurry at that time, there was really no time to leave anything but words.
And this word-the girl lightly swept Qin Xianglan, what did she want to say with red lips and white teeth, probably this girl thought she was letting her, right?
Otherwise, Mu Yongchao would not have been so interested in this Qin girl of unknown origin.
After three years, even if her brother really left something at that time, her brother can't remember it.
However, if Qin Xianglan thinks that it is up to her to say that the green and the red are all up to her, then she is destined to be disappointed.
Qin Xianglan lowered her head, hesitated, looked up at her quickly, and lowered it again. That look is a cowardice and cowardice that has never seen the world.
But Mu Xiaofeng didn't think that this girl was really as cowardly and timid as she seemed on the surface.
"Miss Qin, can't you remember?" Mu Xiaofeng looked at her with a slight smile, with a look of expression that I understood that I was patient, staring at her with burning eyes, but comforting softly, "It doesn't matter if you can't remember." ”
Isn't the jade pendant in your hands? Didn't you say you were here to repay your kindness?
Then return the jade pendant.
Qin Xianglan's heart suddenly tightened, because when Mu Xiaofeng said this, her crystal clear gaze still swept towards her sleeve.
The jade pendant was hidden by her, but it was the place where Mu Xiaofeng's gaze swept over.
She treasured something for a few years, how could she return it with just a few words.
Qin Xianglan subconsciously tightened her sleeves, thought for a while, and then said slowly, "Miss, I remembered." ”
Mu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows and smiled "oh", "What do you remember?" ”
"The eldest young master said at the time that this was a jade pendant that he specially carved for his future daughter-in-law, and since he had a fate today, he gave me the jade pendant."
Qin Xianglan lowered her head, but her cheeks were instantly red like fire. Mu Tianda's brows twisted, and his originally gentle and elegant face was dyed with a heavy and black color.
Mu Xiaofeng stared at her with a smile, "Did my eldest brother really say that at the time?" ”
Mu Yongchao immediately gave Qin Xianglan a look quietly, Mu Xiaofeng glanced at his small movements, and only sneered in his heart.
"That's what the eldest young master said at the time," Qin Xianglan hung her head, her face was still as red as a glow, and even her voice was much softer, "It was precisely because he said that it was a jade pendant carved for his future daughter-in-law that I didn't dare to sell this jade pendant of his." ”
Mu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and smiled mildly and understandingly, "Miss Qin has a good memory. ”
Her voice was soft and soft, coupled with her delicate face and gentleness, Qin Xianglan didn't think about her words at all, only when she praised herself sincerely, "The eldest lady has won the award, the eldest young master's kindness to me, I can't repay it at all, I don't dare to forget his words to him in the past three years, I hope to find him as soon as possible." ”
"Big brother, listen to it, what a good girl this is." Mu Yongchao seized the opportunity, and immediately jumped out with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and preached to Mu Tianda, "This is Shaoxuanxian's nephew personally said to other girls, the jade pendant is for the future daughter-in-law, and now that the girl has finally found a home, you can't be ungrateful and let people poke their backbones, right?" ”
Mu Xiaofeng was about to laugh angrily at this, if it weren't for the fact that her father was right in front of her, she really wanted to ask Mu Yongchao if the word "ungrateful" was used like this?
"Master Mu said and laughed, even if others poke the backbone, they won't poke you," the girl smiled and rolled her bright and clear eyes, Mu Yongchao was almost ashamed of herself when she looked at her.
Because Mu Xiaofeng then smiled and lightly explained his doubts, "Lord Mu's reputation for impatience and righteousness will spread outside." In ancient times, there were thousands of miles to send goose feathers to the gift of light affection and righteousness, and now there is a Mu Da people who welcome Qin girls at the ancient road of the city gate, if this matter cannot be passed on to the capital, I am afraid that even God will not be able to see it. ”
This is a slap in the face, Chiguo Guo Ming slaps Mu Yongchao's old face hot; But Mu Xiaofeng deliberately explained his doubts in a tone of "appreciation". Even if Mu Yongchao knew that he was laughing at him, he couldn't directly refute it.
refuted, everything he did and said today was all the work of hypocrites.
After a long time, Mu Yongchao was cheeky and pretended to be deaf and dumb, if he didn't pretend not to understand Mu Xiaofeng's ridicule, where would he be embarrassed to stand here.
Yes, standing.
Mu Xiaofeng and his father sat dignified, elegant and extremely leisurely while drinking tea and asking questions, glancing at Mu Yongchao and Qin Xianglan from time to time.
Mu Yongchao didn't want to sit down next to Mu Tianda, but he was afraid that his goal had not been achieved, but he would annoy Mu Xiaofeng because of this, and he might be blasted out by her mercilessly.
Therefore, he could only accompany Qin Xianglan to stand in the hall.
Looking at Mu Xiaofeng's relaxed and elegant smiling appearance, he suddenly realized that he had suffered too much at this stop.
But this time, he has already lost the opportunity, where do he dare to touch the side.
"What am I, in comparison, the eldest lady is the real Gudao hot sausage." Mu Yongchao rolled his eyes and decided to retreat to force Mu Xiaofeng.
He glanced at Qin Xianglan, who was standing next to him nervously, and said with a smile, "Presumably, with the kindness of the eldest lady and others, I will definitely not ruthlessly drive out this Qin girl who has come all the way to find relatives, and I can now send the Buddha to the west, and I am finally happy in my heart." ”
Forcing her to stay with Qin Xianglan?
Mu Xiaofeng sneered in her heart, but even if he didn't open his mouth, Qin Xianglan would definitely stay, since he said so, why didn't she push the boat with the water.
Just as Mu Xiaofeng was groaning, Qin Xianglan's face showed a deep look of anxiety, and she suddenly knelt down in surprise, "Master Mu, Miss Mu, please take me in, I swear that I will not cause you trouble, I just stayed to repay my kindness." ”
"As long as you promise to let me stay, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the kindness of the eldest young master."
She knelt, and in Mu Xiaofeng's surprised and playful gaze, she raised her hand and couldn't wait to swear to the sky.
Mu Tianda's brows immediately tightened almost imperceptibly, he looked at Mu Xiaofeng, and saw that the girl handed him a reassuring look, and his face eased a little.
However, when he swept the kneeling woman again, the gentle face sank unnoticeably.
Anyone who is forced to leave an innocent young girl in the house will not be happy.
However, this does not include Mu Xiaofeng.
When ordinary girls talk about repaying their kindness, don't they say that they are willing to be slaves and maids?
It seems that Qin Xianglan's heart is very big.
Do cows and horses?
Mu Xiaofeng deliberately showed a confused look, stared at her sideways, and asked softly, "Miss Qin, get up." ”
Qin Xianglan naturally didn't want to get up, she knelt down, Mu Xiaofeng hadn't agreed to let her stay in Mufu, how could she get up easily.
However, Mu Xiaofeng's eyes swept away, and she took in her little thoughts.
Playing with the heart's eye in front of her?
It's just too much to overpower.
A glance was handed over, and Leng Yue immediately walked towards Qin Xianglan with a steady step, even if Leng Yue had such a cold temperament, at this time, Qin Xianglan's eyes also showed a faint sarcasm.
The look in his eyes was very direct and understandable, and he almost didn't directly write the words "dancing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong" on his face.
Qin Xianglan's face changed, she bit her lip, and the look in her eyes was hesitant. This will seem a bit difficult to ride, I don't know whether it is better to get up or continue to kneel.
However, Leng Yue quickly helped her make a decision.
Leng Yue looked thin and thin, but her slender arm was just like Qin Xianglan's shoulder, and Qin Xianglan felt like she had the power to rush over.
Even if she didn't want to stand up, she would be forced to stand up, unless she was willing to make a fool of herself and throw out of the way in front of everyone.
Forced to stand up, Qin Xianglan's face instantly turned pale, and she looked at Leng Yue's eyes with fear that she couldn't hide.
However, Leng Yue seemed to be fine, and after helping the person up, she continued to walk behind Mu Xiaofeng with a cold face as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Qin, you are serious, what are you doing cows and horses, this is too outlandish." Mu Xiaofeng only didn't know that she was secretly suffering under Leng Yue's hands, but still smiled gently and harmlessly, "Moreover, I listened to it, and now I don't hear what kindness my eldest brother had to you." ”
Qin Xianglan was stunned, and then her complexion changed dramatically; Catching up with Mu Xiaofeng's bright gaze as if she could see through people's hearts, she immediately turned her head to look at Mu Yongchao in a panic.
In a hurry, the look in his eyes calling for help was so obvious that Mu Xiaofeng couldn't ignore it if he wanted to pretend to be blind.
Secretly laughed, in order for the next plan to go smoothly, Mu Xiaofeng could only temporarily aggrieved himself and lowered his head, and tried to hold the cup to his lips, so as to make it look like he was drinking tea and not noticing.
Of course, Mu Xiaofeng would keep Qin Xianglan, but he didn't want to be teased by them as a fool.
Before Mu Yongchao could come up with a remedy, she raised her head again, looked at Qin Xianglan with a confused and shameless look, and said, "My eldest brother was touched by the girl's filial piety back then, although he intended to help the girl, but he was shy in his pocket, and finally left only a piece of jade pendant for the girl in a hurry. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, that's what Miss Qin said just now, right?"
Qin Xianglan hadn't come up with a countermeasure yet, seeing Mu Xiaofeng's eyes sweeping over aggressively, but the tone of this inquiry was so gentle and tactful, she bit her lip and had to nod in response, "What the eldest lady said is right, the eldest young master did leave only a piece of jade pendant for me back then." ”
Mu Xiaofeng frowned, looking even more confused, "This is strange, didn't Miss Qin say that the jade pendant left by the eldest brother back then was too precious, so she didn't dare to sell it?" ”
