Chapter 22: The First Date

When I returned to Huofu, I saw Rui'er picking dew in the yard, which I had ordered before, to take fresh dew from the garden every morning, and collect enough to make wine.

Rui'er was surprised when she saw me coming back, and walked over and asked, "Lan'er, didn't you go to Chen's Mansion to serve Madame?" ”

I took the work from her hand, gently picked up a drop of dew with my fingers, and said casually: "Madame, that's a heart disease, now that I know my thoughts, naturally there is nothing to do." ”

Rui'er was surprised: "Heart disease? What the hell is going on? ”

I returned the bottle of dew picking to Rui'er, and said lightly, "It's nothing, what about the young master?" ”

Rui'er said: "The young master has already gotten up and is practicing his sword." ”

I nodded, let her continue to work, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, to see Huo Quai.

As soon as he walked into the inner courtyard, he saw Huo Qubing dancing a sword in the courtyard. In the morning light, Huo Qu's hospital clothes fluttered. It's just that in such a morning light, only such a morning light can not be ashamed of himself in front of such a man and lose his brilliance.

The sword is like frost and snow, and the whole body is silver. Although it is a long sword like a mang, the posture of Changhong is full of energy, but it does not affect his gentle and jade-like temperament at all. It's like the most tranquil lake, the moment the breeze blows, but it is just more and more clear, and the wind and moon are quiet.

The sword qi seemed to be given life, and it roamed freely around him. Bringing up his clothes and dancing on his feet, it instantly gave people the illusion that if he danced the sword like this, he wanted to ride the wind and go back. It is not dusty, and it is as light as a cloud. I watched from afar, and I only thought that the clouds had accidentally fallen into the mortal dust.

I couldn't help but walk lightly towards him, for fear of disturbing the man in front of me without a trace of dust. When I walked behind him, Huo Quzhi seemed to have a pair of eyes behind him, and he turned around suddenly, and a long sword pointed directly at my vital point.

I was taken aback and couldn't dodge. Huo Quzhi was even more surprised than me, and the long sword narrowly avoided my chest and stabbed to the side. Although he reined in time, my body reflexively leaned back. At the last moment, Huo Quzhi stretched out his hand and grabbed my waist, and suddenly half of my body was held in his arms.

When his heart was palpitating, he met his eyes. These eyes were dark and bottomless, like a quiet lake. At this moment, my shadow was deeply imprinted in the water of the lake, like a small pebble, stirring up a ripple, which gradually spread and expanded in his dark eyes, and finally became a warm smile in his eyes.

"Lan'er, don't stand behind me secretly next time!" Huo Quzhi hugged me and whispered.

These words were like a spell to lift the spell, and I woke up in an instant. I struggled a bit, but I couldn't break free of his arm.

Huo Quzhi stared at me and said word by word: "You haven't answered me yet!" ”

His face was so close to mine that I could only hear the sound of my heartbeat, but I didn't know if it was his heartbeat or mine, and gradually red clouds floated on my face.

"I know it." I whispered with a red face.

Huo Quzhi smiled, and finally let go of me, I breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Young master, do you have paranoia about being killed?" ”

Huo Qu was stunned, "What are these words?" Unheard! ”

I hurriedly said, "It's nothing, anyway, I think your vigilance is too high." ”

Huo Quzhi put away his long sword, "If I hadn't been alert, I wouldn't have died on the battlefield many times!" ”

He is right, commanding the three armies on the battlefield must have a vigilance beyond ordinary people and an extremely sensitive observation of the surrounding things, if not, he would not be able to rush to the battlefield and become a god of war that makes the Huns fearful.

"What happened to my mother's health? I see you're back, she shouldn't be fine, right? ”

I replied, "Madame's health is fine, after taking medicine yesterday, she has been much better after resting, and she let me come back." ”

I didn't say a word about Wei Shao'er punishing me to copy Buddhist scriptures and reminding me not to have the mind of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and I didn't want Huo Qu's illness to worry about these superfluous things, anyway, I didn't have that mind.

Huo Quzhi said: "Since she is willing to let you come back, then there must be no major health problems, so good." ”

I waited for him to wash his face and change clothes, and after breakfast, Huo Quzhi said: "It's nothing to do today, I heard that there is a juggling troupe in Chang'an City, which is very interesting, do you want to go and see it?" ”

I said, "I am willing to accompany the young master." ”

Huo Quzhi said: "Look at your ghostly cleverness, and you don't say you want to see it." Well, General Ben will take you to see the excitement. ”

I laughed and said, "Order!" ”

I also hurriedly went back to the house to change clothes and freshen up, opened the jewelry box, picked up a jade hairpin and thought about it and put it down, but I accidentally saw a small red cloth wrapped in it. I opened the red cloth package, and there were plum blossom earrings that Huo Quai, a birthday gift from Huo Quai, gave me on the first day of the Lunar New Year. So he took it out and put it on, took a picture of the bronze mirror, and got up and went out.

Huo Quzhi waited for me by the carriage outside the door, and when I approached, he saw the earrings I was wearing, and his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance. I blushed and got into the carriage with my head down.

I lit incense in the carriage, and after a while, there was a hint of fragrance, and I took the tea cup and offered it to Huo Quai. He took the teacup and said to me, "It's the first time I've seen you wear this!" ”

I lowered my head and whispered, "I don't have any jewelry, I only wore it when I went out today." ”

Huo Quzhi was stunned for a moment and said, "I thought you didn't like these things, so you don't like to dress up on weekdays." If you like it, I'll take you to Su Fang Zhai today, and buy everything you love. ”

I hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, I really don't love these jewelry." It's just that you gave this pair of earrings, so I ......" Speaking of this, his face was full of red clouds, and he immediately stopped talking.

Huo Quzhi looked at me for a while before saying, "If you follow me, I will treat you well." It's just that I didn't know what you wanted before, so tell me what you like in the future, and I'll buy it all for you. ”

I didn't dare to look at him with a red face, but I just bowed my head and said, "Young master, don't look for my happiness!" ”

Huo Quzhi said: "I'm not looking for your happiness!" After a few days, I went to see my mother and told her. ”

My heart is beating wildly, what is this rhythm? What did he say to Wei Shao'er? Wei Shao'er just trained me, and now he is going to say that it won't add fuel to the fire.

I said vaguely, "Now is not the time, let's wait for Madame to get better in a while." ”

Huo Quzhi nodded, "That's fine, wait for my mother to get better, and then I'll tell her about it." ”

I turned my face away and just pretended not to hear, and Huo Quzhi stopped talking. Luckily, we got to our destination quickly and we got out of the car.

Walked to the street of Chang'an City, it was a prosperous scene at this time, and the street was full of people coming and going. A few children laughed and chased in our direction.

A small child happened to hit me, I was hit and staggered, and I hurried to see the child, but the child didn't care, and soon followed the other children laughing and scattering.

Huo Quzhi stretched out his hand to hold my hand, and I looked at him in surprise, there are so many people in Chang'an City, and it is really a bit uncourteous to do this in broad daylight.

But he didn't care and said, "There are too many people, I'm afraid you'll get lost." After saying that, he shook my hand vigorously. Fortunately, the cuffs of this Hanfu are very wide, and others can't see it when he holds his hand.

I still wanted to break free, but Huo Quzhi had already led me to stride forward. I was afraid that the more I struggled, the more I would be seen, so I had to let him lead me.

With the bustling crowd, we soon heard a cheer, and we followed the crowd towards the inside, and saw that the juggling troupe from other places had already begun to perform.

I saw a table in the middle of the street, on which a little girl stood upside down, and the little girl had a bowl on her head. A few boys were turning their heads around her, and everyone couldn't help but applaud.

Then another girl saluted everyone, and turned over directly on the top of the little girl who was on top of the bowl. Everyone watched with bated breath, for fear of missing the wonderful performance in the blink of an eye.

After that, the girl on top took the three flower balls handed by the people below, and began to play in the air. This gripping vaudeville show was dazzling to watch, and for a while there were cheers and applause.

I had a strange feeling in the midst of all the disturbances, as if someone was watching me, and it made me very uncomfortable.

I subconsciously looked towards the crowd with my feelings, only to see a back figure squeezing out of the crowd. This back is so familiar, but for a while, I can't think of where I have seen it. I just wanted to confirm the back again, but I heard the deafening applause of the onlookers for the performance.

After the performance, Huo Qubing threw a gold in the hands of the artist to be rewarded, and the artist's mouth was open, just wanted to thank this nobleman, but Huo Qubing had already pulled me out of the house.

"Young master, are we going back?" I asked.

Huo Quzhi shook his head, "There is still a place I haven't gotten to!" ”

"Where?"

He pretended to smile mysteriously, "You just come with me." ”

When I walked out of the street where the jugglers were performing, I came to a chic and elegant room, and I looked up to see the sign on it that read "Su Fang Zhai". Did he really take this to heart? I was about to say something, but he pulled me straight in.

After entering Su Fang Zhai, there were already several women in it who were choosing jewelry. When the boss saw the richly dressed Huo Quai, he knew that the nobleman must have come to the door, and he hurriedly came forward to greet him.

A voice came from among the few women who were being selected, "General Huo? ”

I saw that it was Li Ziwei, she first saw Huo Quai, and then turned her eyes to me. I let go of Huo Quzhi's hand without a trace, and he didn't force it this time, and let my hand escape smoothly.

"Sister Mulan, are you here? Are you here to buy jewelry? Li Ziwei walked towards me.

I said, "No." ”

Huo Quzhi immediately said: "Exactly! The boss takes out all your best jewelry. ”

I shook my head slightly, this person is really, I have no choice but to follow him.

Li Ziwei was obviously a little surprised, and a trace of surprise flashed on her face, but she disappeared in an instant. Two women who came with her walked next to her and asked, "Who is this sister?" ”

I said, "I'm the maid of Huofu." ”

The woman was surprised: "The maid also came here to buy jewelry?" ”

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Hussar General laughed and passed on the twenty-second word that Gongsun Ao came to see Liu Che, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you can't blame me for getting lost, the main thing is that the army of a Ru saw me and fled, and they couldn't find them." Don't praise me too much, it will make me lose my motivation to move forward. ”

Liu Che's face was already as black as the theater version of Bao Qingtian at the moment, and he scolded with his head and face: "Run away from your sister when you hear the wind!" You think you're a hussar general! Which onion are you? I don't know the road and I don't know how to take a personal GPS out of the road, you're an idiot! ”

Gongsun Ao was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, Liu Che scolded enough, and said: "For the sake of Zhongqing's plea for you, you will get out of here if you pay the fine, Lao Tzu has been fighting a war in the past few years, and his hands are very tight!" ”

Gongsun Ao took the money that Wei Qing lent him, and quickly paid the fine to Liu Che to save his life.
