Chapter 18: Night Talk
Zhao Yu's mansion was quite large, and at this time, because the banquet was dispersed, the servants were all cleaning up in the front hall, so there was no one all the way. Mu Lixuan, the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info holds the song, strolls through the corridor, and hangs various lanterns under the eaves, which are colorful and contrasting. The warm yellow candlelight reflected in Zige's bright eyes, adding a bit of softness and charm.
"The prince's Yayan is very good, and I can hardly hear the southern sound."
Yayan refers to the official standard language of Daqi, and it is also the "words of Wen Crepe" that Lian'er abandoned. The people of Nanzhao are free, and their speech is less restrained, and the words are not round, and the Qi people call it "Nanyin".
"When I was a child, my father was in Beijing as a hostage, and I grew up in Beijing since I was a child, and I returned to China when I was more than ten years old." His handsome side face is picturesque, and his voice is a little lonely in his casual voice.
For the quality ...... Presumably this is what Xu mentioned that "the prince lived in Daqi in the past", but Zige did not expect that as the son of Nanzhao, he also had a time of subservience.
"No wonder the prince is familiar with the customs of Daqi. I wonder if I've come to see the moon worship party in Asara Castle before? Zige said with a smile, "It's a pity that today's banquet didn't allow me to watch the meeting on the street, and the music stage on the main street is more lively than the singing and dancing in the house." ”
"I've also watched a few moon worship parties, and the performance of Guile Fang is particularly beautiful." He winked at Zige and said, "Although I haven't been on the streets this year, it seems that the moonlight is especially good from here. ”
Zige followed his gaze and looked at the sky, the sky was cloudless tonight, and the full moon was like a disk, reflecting thousands of miles. For some reason, she suddenly remembered that the blood moon rose that year and she met the woman in purple.
The moon rises in the mountains, and the rivers and mountains change hands......
The family is ups and downs, the grace is disillusioned, the hearts of the people are changeable, and the bright moon is still bright.
"yes...... The moon is shining very well tonight. She muttered in a low voice, but her heart was inexplicably uneasy.
After turning around a few corridors, Mu Lixuan slowed down and stepped into a small courtyard. The name of the courtyard is called Yuze, there is a lotus pond in the center, and the mountain stones in the pond are quite interesting. It's August, the golden cinnamon is in full bloom, and the courtyard is also filled with a rich fragrance of flowers. There are a few permanent lights lit in the room, reflecting the front of the hall as bright as day.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Zige pushed the door in, and what caught his eye was a delicate screen of flowers and birds, and there were several plates of pastries on the table in the room, and Mu Lijun was lying on his back on the seat, playing with a villain made of clay in his hand.
"Junjun, Sister Ge'er is here."
Mu Lixuan said softly, he turned his face sideways and glanced at Zige, suddenly stood up, and went straight into the back room.
"What's wrong with him?"
Zige looked at his thin back curiously, not understanding where he had offended this child.
"It doesn't matter, he's always acted on his own." Mu Lixuan motioned for her to sit down and explained, "He is my father's adopted son, he had a serious illness when he was a child, and since then, he has only seen his martial arts grow, but his mind has always been like that of a child. ”
"I see......"
Zige recalled that when he first saw Mu Lijun, he always blushed frequently, like a child, very cute, but he didn't expect that he would never grow up.
Mu Lixuan took out a small handful of tea leaves from the small box on the table, put them in a small purple sand pot, washed them with boiling water, and poured a cup of tea for her. For a while, the water vapor was thick, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.
"Presumably the girl is here for the Qizhen Mirror." Mu Lixuan looked at her and said straight to the point, "Mu Qizhen was born, and he has been a hero for thousands of years. The Girl and the Mirror of Enlightenment...... Indeed, there are difficult causes. ”
When Zige heard this, he was slightly surprised. He has never met himself, and he has always called himself "Lin Ange", and his behavior can be described as flawless, but why did he say this?
"What the prince said...... I do not quite understand. ”
He didn't answer, and his slender fingers took out a pure bag from his bosom and placed it on a few tables.
Zige followed his guidance, opened the bag, and got an old piece of rice paper, with sixteen small characters on it: Five-year period, Mid-Autumn Festival descends to women. The world can prosper, but the world can die.
She flipped the paper to the back, and saw a flying cursive line: Yang's Zige.
"Lian'er only said that you have aura in you, but she doesn't know where this power comes from, so she led me to see you. I think I can't be mistaken. ”
Zige saw that his identity had been recognized, so he no longer concealed it. According to Niang, even if he obtains the Qizhen Mirror, he still needs the help of the Mu clan, so it is better to be honest.
"Please forgive me, after Zige is a criminal minister, he has to be incognito and be cautious in his words and deeds."
"Everyone has secrets that can't be known, and I naturally don't blame you." His deep eyes seemed to have the skill of mind reading, and he looked at Zige fixedly, "I can't hide it, that day was in the middle of the moon, and you and I didn't meet by chance." I'm just here to see you. ”
"The prince wants to see me, why do you sit in the cubicle so secretly?" Zige remembered the scene when they first met that day, and couldn't help but smile, "I also want to tempt my favorite sweets with my favorite sweets." ”
Mu Lixuan sat casually on the seat, raising his eyebrows and smiling. "It's hard for you to see it, Master Lin protects you very well, I have been in the city for many days, and I have to make this decision."
"I often go to the moon half-house, every Mid-Autumn Festival moon party, the sweets there are very good, last year's flowers invited wine, the year before last year's jade pot ice clear, I like it very much."
"Really? Then you can be considered the top diner. When he heard this, his smile became a little more smug.
Zige took a sip of tea, and saw that the two plates of pastries on the table seemed to be different from those at the banquet, although the number was small, but they were extremely exquisite, it seemed that Mu Lixuan was indeed a good hand here. Presumably, the dishes of Yuebanju that he unintentionally praised are also more or less related to him.
"If you want to talk about food, you can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights." Zi Ge smiled, "The prince invited me to come tonight, presumably not only for this matter, right?" ”
"Admittedly, cooking skills are just my hobby for the Bojia people, not a big deal. Tonight I was looking for you to discuss things. He restrained his joke and said, "Everyone in the world knows that 'Gao's revival is supplemented by Yang', do you know that there is another sentence in Nanzhao Kingdom?" ”
"Zige doesn't know, I want to hear it in detail."
Hearing this, Zige sat up straight curiously.
"Yang's revival, supplemented by Muhammad's." After a pause, he said loudly, "I have come for you to lead the delegation to join the group this time." ”
Yang's revival, supplemented by Muhammad!
She has just turned 22 today, but the burden of the family has gradually shifted to her slender shoulders. The Jin Bu Shao that he took from his mother's hand, heavy and with a warm body temperature, Zige knew that the same fiery Yang family bloodline was galloping in his heart. But the young man in front of him has nothing to do with the Yang family's feud.
Zige's expression was grim, looking around at no one, Fang responded softly: "The Yang family has been ruined and has been in decline for many years, so why should the prince suffer?" ”
"Empress Yang and General Yang protected my father and son back then, and Yu Mu was gracious, but they suffered from this grievance and hated Jiuquan." He changed his previous joking tone and said, "In order to repay this kindness, Lixuan will go to the soup for you, and I will never give up." ”
Zige looked at his angular face, and was inexplicably moved for a while.
"Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend." She whispered, "No wonder I had a good impression of you when I first saw you. It turned out to be an old man of the Yang family. ”
"I went to the music workshop that day, the time was short, and I had time to discuss with Master Lin in the long run." The corners of his lips curled into a heart-wrenching smile, "But it's a blessing to be able to meet you face to face today." ”
"I'm here today for another purpose." Zige involuntarily lowered his voice, "Chengjiang King Gao Zhan...... But he carried the Qizhen Mirror with him and hid it in the basement of the Zhao Mansion? ”
When Mu Lixuan heard this, his expression was slightly shocked, "I have made it clear to Master Lin that the Qizhen Mirror is not in the Zhao Mansion, otherwise I would have taken the mirror a long time ago." ”
Zige's face was confused. Since the mother knew that Qizhen Jing was not in the house, why did she let her and Hongshang go to great lengths to enter the house to investigate?
"I thought you knew why my mother asked me to come here."
"Master Lin mentioned it, I hope I will tell you the truth face to face, and assist you in the future......"
His expression suddenly changed, he got up and went into the inner room, and in a moment, Mu Lijun hung his head and was carried out by him.
"Junjun, what did you see when you went home today, so you were so alarmed?" His expression had never been so grim, "But...... Fire? ”
Mu Lijun's face turned pale in an instant, he glanced at Zige in horror, and said, "Le Fang...... Fire ......"
Fire......!
The things on the case were scattered all over the ground as Zige suddenly stood up, and she stared at Mu Lijun for a long time, speechless, and then walked out quickly.
"Song ......"
Mu Lixuan shouted suddenly, Zige looked back at him and looked at him in a daze.
He got up and brushed the dust off his shirt.
"I'll go with you."
