Chapter 40: Aunt Qiu Visits
"Third Miss, someone is looking for you. ”
After morning tea, Jiading took Aunt Qiu into the small courtyard of Huamo.
Since yesterday, the attitude of the people of Huafu has been much better towards Huamo, although it is not respectful and humble, but at least it is not spurned and rude. This is not because they began to identify with Hua Mo, but purely because the attitude of the head of the Hua family towards Hua Mo has been much better recently, and he is even ready to take the palace banquet with him.
Hua Mo was sitting in the small courtyard reading a book, and was stunned when she looked at Aunt Qiu who walked in, and then got up to greet her. The family didn't bother to continue to stay with Hua Mo, and he didn't salute, so he turned around and left Hua Mo's small courtyard.
Hua Qianqiu, Aunt Qiu grew up in Yangzhou of the Hua family since she was a child, and after the family was separated, she came to the Hua family's home in Baihua Valley, and she was naturally very transparent about the things in these houses. She took a look at the disciple's attitude towards Hua Mo, and then looked at the small courtyard where Hua Mo lived, and combined with the rumors that Hua Mo was in Chu State, she immediately understood Hua Mo's current situation.
It's just that why Mo Lan would appear next to such a woman.
Aunt Qiu sat on the stone bench in the small courtyard, and when she looked up, she saw the acacia flowers planted at the end of the flower.
Hua Mo generously took out the Biluochun given by Jianghuai, and while making tea, he observed Aunt Qiu while she was looking at the flowers. Although Aunt Qiu's spiritual power is not high, she has at least two hundred years of lifespan, but if you look closely, you can see a lot of wrinkles on her face, just like an ordinary woman in her early forties.
Aunt Qiu no longer looked at the flowers, she looked around, turned her head to look at the flowers, and asked, "Is the third lady the only one here today?"
This is here to find Mo Lan?
"I've always been the only one here. Hanamu replied.
"Yesterday's son...... Isn't it there?"
"Oh, he's come and go without a trace, once or twice once in a while. ”
"That's right...... How did Miss Three and him meet?"
"It was pure accident. Hua Mo replied, "Does Aunt Qiu know him? If he came to look for him, he wouldn't be here today." ”
"No, just ask. ”
"That's right...... Aunt Qiu, did you come to me today for something?"
Aunt Qiu had a storage ring on her hand, and with a wave of her hand, she took out a set of clothes from the space, the color and style were very similar to the one that was destroyed yesterday.
"This is the clothes that the third lady came to the store yesterday to order, I remade one overnight and sent it to you. ”
Aunt Qiu put her clothes on the stone table, and Hua Mo was a little surprised to put her hand on her clothes gently, always feeling ...... It's been a long time since I've received Aunt Qiu's clothes.
"Thank you. Hua Mo spoke to Aunt Qiu.
Aunt Qiu didn't care about the abnormality of Hua Mo, looking at Hua Mo's cherished appearance, she was all happy: "The third lady paid the money and ordered the clothes in the embroidery workshop, no matter what happens, I will send it to you as promised." ”
I haven't seen her for forty years, and this Sister Aqiu really feels like a boss lady.
"Yesterday, I caused trouble to Aunt Qiu. ”
Aunt Qiu shook her head: "It's okay, by the way, the third young lady knows, Princess Mingzhu disappeared last night?"
Hua Mo looked at Aunt Qiu's eyes and replied, "Naturally, I know that my noisy sister brought someone to ask me about it early in the morning." ”
Thinking of the appearance of Hua Qing rushing in early in the morning with the official family, I'm afraid she wished that someone was captured by Hua Mo, Hua Mo really didn't understand Hua Qing and Hua Qihan, the two sisters, watching her who was also a member of the Hua family, causing trouble, so happy?
This Aunt Qiu asked about Mo Lan just now, didn't she suspect that she was on Mo Lan?
"There are rumors that he was captured by the flower thief, although it is not a troubled time now, the third lady has also paid attention recently, especially the guards in your small courtyard are so weak. ”
"Naturally, thank you Aunt Qiu for your concern. "Flower thief, what has happened to this? I always feel a little sorry for Mingzhu, is this situation not because I accidentally ruined Mingzhu's reputation?
Looking at Hua Mo's thoughtful appearance, Aunt Qiu thought that Hua Mo was trying to figure out how to hide from the flower thief, she picked up the teacup, and as soon as she approached her face, the fragrance of the Jiang family's Biluochun instantly entered her nose.
How could she have the Jiang family's Biluochun?
"This was given to me by Jiang seniors a few days ago, but it's a pity that my tea skills are not good, but it's a pity that I have such a good tea. ”
Hua Mo seemed to have guessed Aunt Qiu's thoughts, and looking at Aunt Qiu's shocked expression, Hua Mo spoke.
Aunt Qiu looked at the end of the flower and took a sip gently. Then, as if she was thirsty, she drank one sip after another, a cup of tea, and she drank it in three or four sips.
"Haha. After drinking a cup of tea, Aunt Qiu suddenly laughed twice, and her eyes were red with laughter.
"If Aunt Qiu likes this tea, I still have a lot of leftovers, so I'll give you some. Hua Mo's heart tightened, and she said nonsense, Aunt Qiu doesn't like to drink the Jiang family's Biluochun very much, she knows, and there is not much Biluochun left.
"It doesn't have to be. Aunt Qiu noticed her gaffe, she stood up and said goodbye to Hua Mo, and hurriedly left Hua Mo's courtyard.
Out of the Flower Mansion, she turned to look at the gate of the Flower Mansion. The gate of Huafu is much simpler than that of Baihua Valley at that time, and the buildings of Huafu are not as simple as those at that time. Even she was incognito, and she was not qualified to enter and leave the Hua family freely.
"The world has changed, but I didn't expect that there are still people who can soak the Jiang family's Biluo Spring in such a 'waste'. Aunt Qiu smiled bitterly and left the door of the Flower Mansion alone.
Jiangjia Biluochun, the taste is thick and elegant, and it only takes a little to brew a strong aroma. But maybe it's used to being served by the people around you, and maybe you don't like the tea ceremony, although you have brewed it many times, you still can't grasp the amount of tea well, and the process of washing tea is always not good.
In the flower house, Hua Mo drank the Biluochun soaked by himself. After drinking, she pursed her mouth. Although she can't make tea, she can drink tea, and the taste is not as good as Mo Lan's brewing every time.
She didn't study it, and there were more people who made tea that was unpleasant. She picked up the book on the table and continued to read.
After a while, Mo Lan appeared beside her, looking at the clothes on the table, Mo Lan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Has Hua Qianqiu been here?"
"That's right. Hua Mo didn't look up, and turned another page, "I guess I want to come to you, and by the way, send me some clothes." ”
"What are you looking for me for?" Mo Lan frowned, Hua Qianqiu used to say good things, but in the end, she didn't even listen to a single explanation, so she betrayed Hua Mo.
"I guess it's because Mingzhu is missing, so I suspect you, after all, there are not many people in Chu who can enter and leave the palace freely. Besides, the palace is full of formations laid out by the Hua family, and the formations used by the Hua family now are almost created by me during my lifetime, so it is not surprising that you are so familiar with my formations that you will suspect you. ”
"It seems that it is better for me to stay in the plum world in the near future. "Mo Lan doesn't trust Hua Qianqiu at all.
"What are you afraid of, and there is no evidence. Besides, now I know that the two of us know more than Hua Qianqiu. Yan Dongjun, Jiang Huai, don't you know these two. If the two of them want to check, they really can't hide it. ”
Hua Mo turned the page again, and there have been many interesting spiritual books in the past forty years.
Mo Lan put away the clothes left by Aunt Qiu, and suddenly remembered something: "No wonder you deliberately let that person hear our conversation yesterday." ”
"Eighty percent of the person who followed him was a subordinate of the Hades King, and his soul power should be one of the two subordinates that Yan Dongjun took with him at the Gambling Stone Meeting. ”
"Yan Dongjun sent someone to follow you. Mo Lan frowned, a little dissatisfied in her heart.
"I guess I sent someone to check my details first, but I didn't find anything, so I sent someone to follow me. Hua Mo put down the book and looked at Mo Lan with a smile, "I have soul power, it's funny to want to follow me." That person should also be a master, and his concealment skills are not bad, but he didn't expect Xiao Mo'er to find out so quickly, and he was obviously the worst at this aspect of perception before. ”
"I didn't notice it at first, but I found out when I went out of the embroidery workshop. ”
"Oh, back then. Out of the embroidery workshop, the man suddenly narrowed the distance, probably too far away to hear the conversation between the two of us, so he took the risk of closing the distance. Yan Dongjun must have instructed him not to get too close, that person looked down on you. ”
Mo Lan has been practicing with the Buddha tree every day for the past forty years, and it would be too much to say if he hadn't made any progress. It's just that even so, his strength is at full strength, and with the contract power of Huamo, he may not be able to fight the current Yan Dongjun. What has he experienced in the past forty years, ordinary cultivation methods are absolutely unable to increase his strength to this point.
He once asked about Hua Mo, Hua Mo seemed to have a clue but didn't make it clear to him, since Hua Mo didn't dig deeper, it must not be a crooked way, Mo Lan didn't continue to ask.
"What are you going to do about Hua Qianqiu?"
"What to do?" Hua Mo looked at the book again, as if she didn't care about it, "By the way, don't talk about Hua Qianqiu in the future, isn't she Aunt Qiu now." ”
"Good. Mo Lan nodded, understanding Hua Mo's thoughts, he was afraid that Hua Mo would have a whim and be soft on Hua Qianqiu. In fact, if Mingzhu just wants to find trouble with Hua Mo, Hua Mo doesn't care too much, a rude little princess can do much of a thing. But the person Mingzhu wants to take revenge on is not only Hanamo, but also Aunt Qiu. That's why Hua Mo didn't hesitate to throw her into the plum world, so that she couldn't figure out the tricks.
"She is now incognito, and she can be regarded as a prosperous person. Wouldn't it be nice to open a ready-to-wear store that I've always wanted to open? ”
Looking at the breezy appearance of the end of the flower, Mo Lan opened her mouth, but she didn't say a word.
Hua Mo vaguely remembered that at that time, she locked herself in the Moon Tower, she knew the prejudice of the Hua family against her, so she rarely went out, and few Hua family disciples came to her, Hua Qianqiu was one of the exceptions among the Hua family disciples.
is as strong as her, in the eyes of Jianghuai and others, maybe she is strong and reliable. But Hua Qianqiu had never seen the flower on the battlefield, and at that time, in her eyes, maybe the flower was still a little sister.
"You can't even sew your clothes when they're torn, how can I rest assured that you're alone. Why don't you wait until you've decided on a location for seclusion, and how about I open a ready-to-wear store in a nearby town?"
At that time, Hua Mo really wanted to take Hua Qianqiu to live in seclusion and live together. And the look of fear and disappointment, Hanama still remembers it.
In the night, the man stood on the roof, he stood with his hands in his hands, dressed in a black dress, under the light of the stars and the moon, draped in a faint light. He wore a golden mask on his face, revealing an elegant and indifferent light.
Hua Mo pushed open the door and held two jars of green wine in his hands. She was dressed in white, and three thousand green silks were scattered in the air at will. Seeing Yan Dongjun, there was a little smile in her apricot eyes. She rose into the air and appeared next to Yan Dongjun in an instant. The fragrance of acacia flowers in the courtyard was mixed with the faint smell of wine on the woman's body, and it blew in front of Yan Dongjun. Apparently the woman was drinking alone in the house, and felt his breath, so she appeared.
"Lord, is it really the right time to come, come to an altar?"
