Chapter Seventy-Three: Distinguished Guest
Mu Yu paused, and said leisurely: "Not really." β
He tapped her forehead with his fingertips, his gaze gradually softened, and said, "You, everything is written on your face." β
The slender hand held the jade-colored teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "Tell me, what that person said is similar to me." β
She said that she envied the casual behavior of ordinary people, if she could choose. She would rather give up her glory and live an ordinary and comfortable life, unrestrained, rather than surrounded by the palace walls since she was a child. Mu Zhiling's expression gradually darkened, supporting her chin with her hands, and looking out of the window blankly.
She didn't want that.
Mu Yu put down the teacup and said, "Are you talking about Princess Ninghe?" β
Mu Zhiling turned her head to look at him in surprise and asked, "How does my brother know?" β
Mu Yu chuckled and said, "When I was in Jixian Hall, I overheard what a few little princes said. β
"What did they say about her?"
Mu Zhiling subconsciously grabbed Mu Yu's arm.
Mu Yu continued to eat tea and said casually: "It's nothing, but listening to what you say, Naning and the princess are really special people." β
It's just that the gaze gradually becomes dark and dark.
As the twilight grew thicker, Mu Yu returned to his yard.
Mu Zhiling was extremely tired and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, I heard that there were distinguished guests in the long room.
Mu Zhiling straightened her sleeves for a moment.
I remember that there were no distinguished guests in the long room at this time.
What kind of guest is it that can alarm the whole family?
Mu Zhiling dressed carefully and neatly, and ordered Jinqiao to go and find out.
Although she doesn't like or trust Jinqiao, in this regard, Jinqiao is better than Cuiliu.
When Jin Qiao came back, it was already an hour later, Mu Zhiling was sitting in the courtyard, saw her, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why have you been there for so long?" β
"The front hall is here, and it takes half an hour to go back and forth. Moreover, the slave and maid had to listen more carefully, which was delayed for some time. Jin Qiao looked at Mu Zhiling coldly and said.
Mu Zhiling got up and looked at Jin Qiao.
I haven't seen it for two days, but I feel a little strange.
When did she speak so indiscriminately? Not to mention her previous appearance of flattering and flattering to herself, just saying that the master and servant are inferior and inferior, she will not understand.
Mu Zhiling raised her eyebrows, suppressed the confusion and anger in her heart, and said softly: "Then tell me what you have heard." β
The corners of Jin Qiao's mouth hooked, and said: "When the slave maid walked at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a dark blue eight-lift sedan chair parked outside, and there were several sedan chair drivers standing beside him. Those sedan chairmen are burly, and I have never seen such a strong and strong person. Then I pulled a few little maids, and after listening to the situation, I realized that it was the fiancΓ© of the eldest lady of the long house. β
Although Jin Qiao's tone is not necessarily good, it can be said in detail.
Mu Zhiling listened carefully, and then remembered that when she came back from the long house in her previous life, Mu Zhilan was already married. She has never seen what Mu Zhilan looks like, and the number of times she has seen her in this life is only a handful.
I had heard some news about Mu Zhilan, it was said that she was married to a merchant family, and the old lady was a little dissatisfied after hearing it, but after hearing that the person had also entered high school, her face softened.
"Can you see the man's face?" Mu Zhiling asked as she stared at Jin Qiao's eyes for a moment.
Jin Qiao lowered his eyes, a little afraid to look at Mu Zhiling's eyes, shook his head and said: "When I rushed there, he had already entered the hall, and the three masters and the old lady were there, so I couldn't get in." β
Mu Zhiling drank coldly: "You listened to these things in two hours?" Didn't you say you inquired very carefully? β
Sensing Mu Zhiling's anger, Jin Qiao knelt down with a weak heart, and said hurriedly: "Miss forgive me, the slave is too stupid, so I missed the time." β
Mu Zhiling looked down at Jin Qiao on the ground, and said for a long time: "You get up first." β
Mu Zhiling left without looking back.
Jinqiao's sudden change is really weird, but now she doesn't have so much attention to her.
Mu Zhiling walked along the eaves corridor and walked in the direction of the front hall.
Walking to the front yard, as Jin Qiao said, several burly men were standing in the court, and Steward Zhao was standing aside talking to one of them, but those people stood still at all.
It was not so much like a palanquin driver, but more like a well-trained soldier.
Mu Zhiling looked up at several palanquin drivers who were more than a head taller than her, and only after a closer look did she realize that these people looked very different from the people in Kyoto.
Although the people in Kyoto are slightly taller than the people in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, they do not have the wild spirit of these people. Look closely at one of them, the cheekbones are prominent, the cheeks are red with purple in the middle, the lips are too thick, and the eyes are too deep. Their arms were also wider than those of the ordinary men in Kyoto, and they stood still, staring straight ahead without squinting.
Do all the men in Zhenzhou look like this?
Such a supposedly unfamiliar face, Mu Zhiling actually felt a little familiar.
It should be that she is hallucinating, and she has never been to Zhenzhou, nor has she ever seen the people of Zhenzhou, how can she feel familiar.
Mu Zhiling and Steward Zhao approached and said, "Steward Zhao, what are you doing?" β
Steward Zhao saw Mu Zhiling and saluted: "Fifth Miss doesn't know, the old slave was ordered by the old lady to invite these little brothers to go to the backyard to rest, but a few of them didn't seem to understand my words. No, you can't hear what I'm saying. β
"Don't understand?" Mu Zhiling asked thoughtfully.
Steward Zhao spread his hands and said helplessly: "Yes, the old slaves have been talking to them here for a long time, but they don't pay attention to it at all. β
Mu Zhiling looked at these people, and she felt more and more familiar.
Fragmentary images kept flashing in her mind, and she had vaguely seen such people in her previous life.
When the two dynasties of the Great Jin Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom converged, she once tried horse racing with the princess Zhen Mula of the Liao Kingdom, and at that time, Zhen Mula was followed by such a group of people.
The people in front of him, whether they looked or looked, were very similar to those Liao warriors!
Her eyes opened suddenly, and Mu Zhiling was stunned in front of those palanquin men, shaking her head.
She must be hallucinating, Mu Zhilan's future husband's family is an authentic Zhenzhou person, how can such a huge industry be faked.
Just by looking at this pomp, you can also see the owner's net worth.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Mu Zhiling walked up to one of the sedan chair drivers again, lowered her voice and said in Liao: "Please go inside." β
The sound was so small that only she and the man could hear.
She vaguely remembered that the guard behind Zhen Mulla had said this in her previous life, and she was not sure if she remembered it correctly, let alone whether the person in front of her could understand what she said.
She hoped they didn't understand.
If they did, what would it mean?
Mu Zhiling clenched her hands into fists, biting her lips tightly, not daring to think about it.
But the palanquin man was more vivid, he looked at Mu Zhiling excitedly, his lips were closed, and he couldn't speak for a long time. R1152
