Mu Yan arrived at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion full of doubts.

Mother Niu led her all the way to the place where Xue Huasheng and them were barbecued, and it was in the water pavilion where the flower banquet was set up that day.

Mu Yan took the boat over, smelled the incense of barbecue from a distance, and vaguely heard a particularly ethereal flute, the sound was clear like a gurgling spring, and the excitement was like a galloping horse, and the tactful place could hear a little lingering and sympathetic.

Mu Yan listened attentively, and really felt that the flute player played very well, and he was fascinated by it for a while.

When the boat was about to dock, she found out that it was Xue Zhiyuan, the eldest son of Xue, who played the flute.

Xue Zhiyuan was dressed in a homely silver-white robe, his black hair was raised high with a light blue headband, and he was playing the flute on the edge of the red lacquer pillar of the water pavilion.

Of course, it would be better if his eyebrows were not tangled.

Mu Yan was in a trance for a moment, Xue Zhiyuan on this day was really different from Xue Zhiyuan who met in the Jokhang Temple that day.

Mu Yan looked at Xue Zhiyuan fixedly, and it took a long time to return to his senses and salute.

Just as Xue Zhiyuan had just finished his song, he took back his flute and nodded lightly at Mu Yan, which was regarded as greeting each other.

"Mu Yan, are you here......" Xue Huashang stepped forward briskly and stretched out her hand to hold Mu Yan, Xue Huashang is also wearing a very homely dress today, a Xiaoxiang-colored jacket, a honey-colored horse-faced skirt, her hair is combed into a horse bun, and there is only a jasper hairpin on it, and the long tassel of the hairpin hangs down on her white sideburns and shakes gently, and the whole person is full of vitality and agility.

Xue Zhining was also there, he stood with his hands in his hands, and smiled politely at Mu Yan, who also smiled at him.

It seems that today is a family feast for the three of them.

Xue Huashang was in a good mood, took Mu Yan's hand and said with a smile, "My father has a new cook, the barbecue is very good, yesterday the Grange sent more than a dozen lambs, I asked my father for one, this morning I cooked, the roasted meat is fresh, you come and taste it." ”

Xue Huashang handed her a skewer of freshly roasted mutton.

The smell of barbecue had long filled Mu Yan's nasal cavity, stimulating her appetite, she took the barbecue handed over by Xue Huasheng and took a bite unceremoniously.

In fact, it is not popular to eat barbecue among the Han people in Yanjing City, and they all say that the mutton is too fat and difficult to swallow.

But the chefs of the Hui Hui are different, their barbecue uses special spices, and instead of the fishy taste that is difficult to swallow, it is full of flavor and makes you want to eat it.

In particular, this mutton has just been slaughtered, and the meat quality and texture are of the highest quality, and it does taste excellent.

"How? Isn't it delicious? Xue Huashang asked Mu Yan with a smile like a child.

Mu Yan didn't hesitate to praise it, nodded briskly and said, "Well, the master's craftsmanship is indeed very good, and the barbecue is also very fresh and tastes very good." ”

Xue Huashang listened to Mu Yan's words, and smiled contentedly, "It's good to like it, I was afraid that you wouldn't be used to eating it at first." ”

She pointed to the table, "There is also mare's milk wine, roast mutton must be accompanied by mare's milk wine to taste enough." ”

Mu Yan secretly frowned when she heard the mare's milk wine, she had drunk mare's milk wine in her previous life, it was Mu Chaoyang who got it from outside, and gave her a pot, she really couldn't swallow that weird taste.

After following Xue Huashang into the table, Xue Huashang greeted the two brothers with a smile and said, "Come and sit down and eat, if you don't eat meat, it will be cold, and it won't taste good." ”

The two brothers walked over and sat down gracefully.

"The third brother and the fourth brother, do you want to send someone to invite you too?" Xue Zhining asked after sitting down.

The third and fourth children of the Xue family were born to Lin Yuehe, the current wife of Pingyang Hou, and all three of them are half-siblings.

Xue Huashang glanced at Xue Zhiyuan and asked, "Big brother, do you say please or not?" ”

Xue Zhiyuan took a sip of the hot mare's milk wine with a cup, and only asked, "Do you say please or not?" Today's host is you, I'm just here to eat, but I can't be your master. ”

Xue Huashang pouted, and it took a long time to spread his hands and say, "That's it, that's it, please come over." He said to the grandmother beside him, "Since you have invited the third and fourth brothers, then you can go to Yilan Courtyard by the way and invite your mother over." ”

Mu Yan secretly pinched his fingers, if these people came, then this would become a full family banquet for their Mu family, and it was really awkward to have one more outsider.

What does Xue Huashang think?

Mu Yan quietly looked at Xue Huasheng, Xue Huasheng's expression was leisurely, she had a mouthful of mutton stuffed in her mouth, and she drank a sip of mare's milk wine while chewing, and her demeanor was very free and uninhibited, but it was very different from the cautious behavior at the flower banquet that day, as if she had changed people.

Xue Zhining smiled and quipped, "Sister, can't you eat a little bit of a lady?" Don't freak out our guests. ”

Xue Zhining smiled at Mu Yan.

Mu Yan's face was hot, and he lowered his eyebrows a little embarrassed.

Xue Huashang didn't raise his head, still took a big bite of meat and said, "If it's a friend, I shouldn't mind, besides, in front of food and wine, where are there so many rules and regulations, if you are seriously restrained, you can't eat well......"

“…… Big brother, do you think I'm right? Xue Huashang stopped his gaze on Xue Zhiyuan's body.

Xue Zhiyuan's expression was indifferent, and he said lightly or seriously, "I only know one thing, if your father sees it like this, he will definitely be surprised......

Xue Huashang pursed her lips again, but she looked like a lady a lot.

It seems that Xue Huashang is afraid of her father.

Mu Yan swallowed a mouthful of mutton and drank hot tea, although the mare's milk wine on the side was warm, but she really didn't want to drink it, she couldn't accept the smell when she smelled it, let alone drink it.

"Miss Mu doesn't like to drink mare's milk wine?" Xue Zhining asked with a wine cup.

Mu Yan had no choice but to laugh dryly, and replied truthfully, "This ...... I can't accept the taste. ”

"This tastes very good...... Xue Huashang got up, leaned against Mu Yan with a glass of mare's milk wine and said, "You smell it well, this is a high-grade mare's milk wine, different from those mare's milk wine with a sour taste, it is very delicious." ”

Although Xue Huashang highly recommended it, Mu Yan couldn't drink it if she couldn't drink it, and this taste always made her feel like she wanted to vomit.

She shook her head, "I'd better drink tea......"

Xue Huashang was not reluctant, but said regrettably, "Such a good wine, there are people who can't drink it......"

She seemed to be pitiful.

"Actually, I couldn't get used to this mare's milk wine at first." Xue Zhiyuan suddenly said a word, he said, pointed his finger at his stomach and said, "But if you are hungry for five or six days, and suddenly someone gives you a sip of mare's milk wine, you will feel extremely sweet, and you will feel that it is the best thing in the world......"

When he spoke, Xue Zhiyuan's eyes were very quiet and distant.

Mu Yan was slightly stunned, carefully figuring out the meaning of Xue Zhiyuan's words, but she couldn't figure out anything, because she didn't understand this person at all, nor did she understand what he had experienced.
