Chapter 257: Love at First Sight

Hearing that the Gu worm that Xue Hou put in Ruyi turned out to be this kind of acacia Gu with strange effects, Xiao Jinxuan immediately asked again:

"It stands to reason that Empress Xue wants to deal with me quickly, if you give me a life-killing Gu, it is more likely, but according to Meng Gongzi's meaning, this Acacia Gu itself does not have any attack power, but it is a Gu used by the Miao Jiang people to make love, so isn't this a little unreasonable."

Regarding the record of Acacia Gu, Meng Mian had also seen it many years ago, so he saw that he thought about it for a long time, and then his eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and then he said urgently:

"I remember, the reason why this Acacia Gu is used by the Miao Jiang people to determine life and death is because this Gu does not harm the host on weekdays, but if the man and woman who take the Acacia Gu, one of them dies first, then when the Gu worm in his body also dies, the other Gu worm that is paired with it will die on its own immediately, and when the Gu worm dies, its body will discharge deadly toxins, causing the host to die of poison, so that the man and woman who take the Acacia Gu will die almost at the same time. If it weren't for someone who loved each other more than Jin Jian, he would not use this kind of Gu easily. ”

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was listening carefully, Meng Mian recalled that after talking about the records of Acacia Gu all over again, he immediately said worriedly:

"Fortunately, the fourth miss found out in time, if you are once you fall into the Gu, Empress Xue is ordering a man to use a female Gu, and if Empress Xue kills the man, the fourth miss will also be killed immediately, she is still the master of the six palaces, the mother of the country of my Great Zhou, such a vicious method can be used, it is really shameful."

But when Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she immediately shook her head in disagreement, and then said in an affirmative tone:

"No, I fell off the cliff with the king, now in the court and the opposition, King Rui has been-for-tat relative to Zhou Xiantai, if I have an accident at this time, then Empress Xue's mother and son will become the biggest target of suspicion, and after all, I am a member of the Xiao family, they have already missed the assassination once, it is impossible to attack again so quickly, if the other party is really unscrupulous to this point, then my life has already been confessed, and I can't live now."

Hearing this, Meng Mian felt that what Xiao Jinxuan said was also quite reasonable, after all, his time in Beijing was too short, and it was even more difficult to get in touch with the party and government of the court.

Therefore, between Xiao Jinxuan and Empress Xue's mother and son, to what extent they are fighting, and what is the limit of the other party's attack, Meng Mian doesn't know at all, so now, he can't even help the other party analyze the situation.

Therefore, seeing Xiao Jinxuan fall into deep thought, the only thing Meng Mian can do is to be quiet and not make a sound, and try not to disturb the other party.

And this will make a decision in his heart, that is, to stay and participate in the imperial examination, whether it is for the sake of righteousness, or to help Xiao Jinxuan in order to repay his past kindness.

This is the champion of the golden department, he will inevitably fight with all his might, and Ji Lingfeng, the staff of the prince's mansion, will have to compete in the scientific examination.

But Meng Mian didn't make a sound, for fear of disturbing Xiao Jinxuan's contemplation, but it happened that he didn't speak, but Wen Xin walked in from outside the living room, and hurriedly said as soon as he got closer:

"Miss, Miss Jinwen came over, saying that she made a few snacks by herself, and I know that you have come back from the palace, so I specially brought them to you to taste."

When outsiders are present, Wen Xin usually calls Xiao Jinxuan Miss, although he does take care of the other party as a little cousin in his heart.

But the rules are the rules, in the eyes of outsiders, he is Xiao Jinxuan's subordinate, Wen Xin doesn't want to let others say that they have no respect and humility in the Forsythia Courtyard because of his unobstructed mouth, and then Xiao Jinxuan's face will be gloomy, that is his sin.

And when she heard that Xiao Jinwen was coming, Xiao Jinxuan's first reaction was to immediately come back from her thoughts, and immediately closed the rosewood box, and then asked Wen Xin to welcome people over immediately.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan in the Shuai Mansion and in her own yard, she was so cautious and cautious, Meng Mian couldn't see that the other party was in her own home, and she couldn't trust others at all, and she was cautious and cautious every step of the way.

Meng Mian does have the heart to help Xiao Jinxuan, but this is the Shuai Mansion, even if he knows that the other party is not easy, but now all he can do is to compete for the position of champion as much as possible, and the others can't help each other at all.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was going to receive her sisters, Meng Mian felt that she was a man, and it might be inconvenient to stay, so she immediately got up to say goodbye, and then walked out.

But at this moment, Xiao Jinwen had already walked into the living room accompanied by the maid Ziying, and seeing Meng Mian such a man from outside the mansion here, she was immediately stunned, and immediately said apologetically:

"Sister, I didn't know that you had a distinguished guest here, my sister must be bothering, you talk first, I'll go back to Wenlan Courtyard first, I'll put the snacks here with you, and I'll come to see you later."

As early as after returning to the Shuai Mansion from her grandfather's house, Xiao Jinwen saw that this cousin was too different from the ordinary daughters of the family, and the people and things that the other party came into contact with were also very different from those of them.

Therefore, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was meeting guests, and the strange man in front of her, although Xiao Jinwen looked at Miansheng, she knew that the other party should not be the son of a family.

However, Meng Mian is known as a talented man in Yangzhou, coupled with elegance and handsomeness, and his bearing is naturally extraordinary, so Xiao Jinwen knows that the other party must also have an identity, and it is likely that he is discussing things with Xiao Jinxuan, so where can she stay, otherwise wouldn't it be too indiscriminate.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Jinwen finished speaking, she also bowed to Meng Mian, and then turned around to leave the living room.

When Meng Mian saw this, he felt sorry in his heart, after all, Xiao Jinwen was the master of the Shuai Mansion, he was just a guest, and the other party was Xiao Jinxuan's cousin, even if he wanted to avoid it, he should leave.

And now that he and Xiao Jinxuan have made it clear what they should talk about and ask, he is going to get up and say goodbye anyway, Meng Mian feels that it is most appropriate for him to take the first step.

Immediately seeing that Xiao Jinwen had already walked out of the living room, Meng Mian and Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly said goodbye again, and hurriedly chased after them, and said eagerly:

"This Miss Xiao, please stay, you are about to leave and return home, you really don't have to work hard to turn back because you want to accommodate me."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinwen naturally stopped, since this man was leaving, it didn't hurt for her to stay, and immediately she turned around and prepared to return to the living room.

But it didn't matter if Xiao Jinwen stopped, Meng Mian chased after him while talking, and his feet were inevitably in a hurry, so he was unstable and collided head-on with the other party.

Seeing that Meng Mian was flustered, but he was still inertly bumping into him, where did Xiao Jinwen suffer this kind of fright, she immediately exclaimed, only had time to close her eyes in fear, and then turned her head away, and then had to wait for the upcoming collision.

Xiao Jinwen's heart was pounding with fright, and she was sweating on her forehead, and when she came back from her panic, she found that the expected collision did not happen, and Xiao Jinxuan rushed over from the hall, and asked her with a worried face if she was frightened.

Xiao Jinwen belongs to the kind of lady who is more traditional among the nobles of the family, so although she was scared half to death, she still quickly recovered her calm complexion, and shook her head with a smile at Xiao Jinxuan elegantly.

And it was only then that she saw that Meng Mian was now lying on the ground not far from her.

And when the other party was together, Xiao Jinwen saw that Meng Mian was now on his hands and his face was broken.

Especially at Meng Mian's chin, this will be bleeding, Xiao Jin and Hui are in a blue heart, and they can't see it immediately, the other party must be because of the difference between men and women, and they don't want to offend her easily, so they would rather lose their balance and stagger her to the ground.

Meng Mian's move, maybe in the eyes of others, he is no different from a fool, after all, how can anyone be good, just because he is afraid of offending others, he would rather hurt himself, such a dead dogma person, although there are designated in this world, but there are definitely not many.

And Xiao Jinwen, as a woman, has always been as guarded as jade, and she regards innocence as life, so Meng Mian's move immediately shocked her heart, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling, mixed with gratitude, spread in her heart.

couldn't help but come to Meng Mian, Xiao Jinxuan somehow, only felt that her heartbeat was a little faster than just now, and her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter unconsciously.

Looking up at Meng Mian's handsome appearance, Xiao Jinwen hurriedly lowered her head, but the Jinpai she was holding in her hand was slowly handed to the other party's eyes.

"This son, in order to take care of me, you will be injured, if the son does not give up, please take my handkerchief and wipe the blood and dirt off your face."

With Xiao Jin's jade arm slightly raised and handed over the handkerchief, Meng Mian only felt a faint fragrance hit his nose, which suddenly made him feel a little distracted.

And it wasn't until Xiao Jinwen called him again that Meng Mian came back to his senses, knowing that he had lost his temper at the right time, he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look at the other party, but hurriedly took the handkerchief, and after thanking him a few times, he immediately walked out of the forsythia courtyard as if he was fleeing.

Seeing Meng Mian's behavior, Xiao Jinxuan immediately smiled dumbly, and then half-jokingly grabbed Xiao Jinwen, walked to the living room with the other party, and said to herself:

"This Meng Gongzi is really, look at him is injured, I wanted to ask him to bandage and walk after the medicine, but now I looked at my sister a few times, and then walked away with a blush, it seems that my sister is beautiful, she must be embarrassed by the other party, this Meng Mian will not fall in love with her cousin at first sight."

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, I heard Xiao Jinxuan say that Meng Mian fell in love with her at first sight, although Xiao Jinwen was slightly annoyed and told the other party not to mess around, but there was a sudden sweetness in her heart, and even the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

And when the two cousins sat down with each other, Xiao Jinwen condensed her heart, remembering the reason why she came to find Xiao Jinxuan, and immediately felt a little more worried in her expression.

"Sister Xuan, in fact, I came in such a hurry, I didn't really want to send you some snacks, this is just a reason, maybe you don't know it yet, you just left with Gonggong Deng on the front foot, and the old lady of the Bai family fainted on the back foot, and the grandmother has passed the news to the Guogong Mansion in order to avoid suspicion, and after the Bai family learned about this, Mrs. Wu led her daughter Bai Liu, one step ahead of you Now you have come to our Shuai Mansion, you must have a number in your heart."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's doubts and ask who Mrs. Wu was, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly continued to explain:

"This Mrs. Wu is not simple, she is the wife of Bai Dongyang, the Duke of Huaguo, and the Guogong Mansion is now her home, as for Bai Liu is the daughter of this Mrs. Wu, in the circle of daughters and celebrities, she is also a famous talented woman, no matter what the old lady says now, it is also because of your talent, and you have punished so many Bai family members this morning, so I am afraid that this Mrs. Wu will definitely refuse to be nice to you as soon as she comes, my sister is worried that you will suffer, so she hurried here, Jinxuan, you have to think of countermeasures early."
