Chapter 259: Before leaving
There are still nine hours before Mu Zexi sets out on the expedition.
After coming out of the study, Chu Yan locked herself in the house, and no one was allowed to enter, not knowing what she was doing.
The fish walked anxiously outside the door, and they were about to cry. However, because of Chu Yan's instructions, he didn't dare to knock on the door to disturb Chu Yan.
"Meng Yi, you, go and invite the prince to come over, Niangniang is so embarrassed by herself, it's noon, and she hasn't come out yet!!"
If it was usual, Chu Yan stayed in the house for so long, and the fish were not worried at all, but this time it was different, Chu Yan let the guy move in.
For Chu Yan, needlework is more dangerous than a sword.
After all, if it is a sword, the fish will never worry about hurting Chu Yan, but if it is a needle and thread, it may not be.
However, Meng Yi had a bitter face, this, on the one hand, was the words of his future daughter-in-law, and he didn't dare not listen. However, the prince also asked people to surround Xinyayuan, as if he was talking about something important with An Yan, and did not let people get close.
"Are you going or not?"
The fish was anxious, and roared loudly at Meng Yi, if the young lady stayed for a while, something would happen.
Meng Yi scratched the back of his head and stood in place in great embarrassment.
Suddenly, the door, which had been closed for several hours, finally opened.
Chu Yan stood at the door, her face covered with ink, which was even more terrifying than her virtue in the morning.
"Miss, Miss, you're going to scare the fish to death!!"
As soon as the fish saw Chu Yan, they pounced.
Miss Chu's whole face, revealing those two dripping and rolling eyes, can also prove that this is a human face, not a black bear monster.
Chu Yan asked tiredly, "Yu'er, can you find someone to help me?" I'm not very good at threading needles. β
Yu'er was stunned, looked at Chu Yan in astonishment, blinked her eyes and asked, "What is Miss doing?" Needlefish will do. What do you want to do, you say, the fish will do it for you. Is it a purse or a purse or a purse? β
The fish, who was familiar with Chu Yan's temperament, didn't consider that Chu Yan had other uses, however, when Chu Yan heard this, her face darkened decisively, and she said in a muffled voice: "His battle suit is almost sewn." β
In fact, it was said that it was a battle suit, and when Yu'er saw Chu Yan's work, he found that it was difficult for this thing to barely become a cloak.
But, to be honest, the bamboo painted on the cloak is somewhat similar. Only, what is that black thing piled up on the ground?
Chu Yan didn't tell Yu'er, she gave up her battle suit, cut a piece of cloth instead, dipped it in ink with bamboo strips, printed it on the cloth, and the bamboo strips came out one by one.
"Miss, are you going to make a cloak for the prince?"
Chu Yan nodded, the cloak is simple!! A large piece of cloth, the collar is folded, sewn, and a rope is threaded in the middle, and it can be contracted. This is probably the ugliest cloak in history.
Yu'er endured the twitching at the corner of her mouth, and silently threaded the needle to Chu Yan.
was stabbed so many times yesterday, and today Chu Yan finally has some experience.
"Miss, what are you doing for the prince?"
"Yes."
"This is for the prince to load dry food?"
"βhere's the cloak."
"Oh, it doesn't look like a cloak at first glance."
After Yu'er finished speaking, she found that Chu Yan's eyes were getting more and more gloomy, so she decisively chose to shut up. Chu Yan's face is not very good now.
"Fish."
"Yes, miss."
"You say, it's so ugly, will he take it?"
Chu Yan has already given up letting Mu Zexi wear it, as long as he carries it, it can be regarded as living up to her efforts.
She kept telling herself that she was working so hard to make a suit for Mu Zexi, just because she fulfilled her promise. But there is a piece in my heart, but I feel uncomfortable inexplicably, and this discomfort has been deepening.
There are only three hours left before the expedition. This cloak is indeed ugly.
Chu Yan suddenly pulled the cloak she had made and threw it aside, as if she hadn't done it. Such an ugly thing, Mu Zexi wanted to come, and he wouldn't bring it.
When Mu Zexi finished his work and came to the Jardine House, the lights in Chu Yan's house had been turned off.
Slept?
A depressed mood quickly spread, and he just stood in the courtyard and quietly looked at the closed door.
"Crunch." With a bang, the door opened slowly and without warning.
In the dark, Chu Yan stood at the door, looking at Mu Zexi outside the door with clear eyes, and the two were relatively speechless.
I thought I was going to be silent like this, but I didn't want to, just when Chu Yan couldn't help but scold, Mu Zexi finally spoke.
"I thought you were asleep."
- Chu Yan looked at Mu Zexi in a daze, and for a while, she didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Chu Yan didn't speak, Mu Zexi's hand hanging down his sleeve slowly squeezed it up, and said with a wry smile: "Tomorrow morning, I will leave." β
"Oh."
Chu Yan replied sullenly, her nose was sour, as if she had choked on herself after drinking vinegar.
After saying that, the two fell into an eerie silence again.
There are many times when it's not that I don't have anything to say, I just don't know how to speak. Just like Chu Yan, you can still yell at the air Mu Zexi, your uncle! However, when he really faced Mu Zexi, he couldn't spit out half a word.
In this quiet night, one person stood at the door, and one stood outside the door, but no one took the initiative to say a word.
After a while, Mu Zexi slowly hooked his lips and said softly: "It's not early, you, rest early." Cover the quilt. β
Many times, Chu Yan woke up in the middle of the night to look for the quilt, and then found the quilt under the bed. When Mu Zexi slept next to her, she could be a little more at ease.
Habits are a terrible thing. Mu Zexi will leave tomorrow, and Chu Yan suddenly found out that if she couldn't see Mu Zexi for a long time, wouldn't she have breakfast?
Winter is coming, is there no one to warm his bed?
If you can't see Mu Zexi, in fact, you will still be lost, right?
- Actually, it's really not good to see Mu Zexi.
As Miss Chu's ATM, as Miss Chu's personal chef, as Miss Chu's bed warmer, there are too many, in short, the more I think about it, the more Chu Yan feels that she is holding her breath in her heart and can't breathe.
Without waiting for Chu Yan's response, Mu Zexi smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and prepared to leave.
It's still a little cool on a night like this.
"Mu Zexi!"
Suddenly, before Chu Yan could react, the words had already spoken. Mu Zexi's feet paused, turned around, under the moonlight, his face seemed to look better, his body was wrapped in a layer of faint moonlight, and the whole person seemed to have walked down from the moon.
"Huh?"
"You, aren't you coming in and sitting?"
After thinking about it, Chu Yan hesitated to say this. Of course, please remove the meaning of this sentence, Chu Yan assured that she had absolutely no intention of inviting, but she just wanted to sit with Mu Zexi.
Mu Zexi seemed to be shocked, his eyes flickered twice, and then he responded: "Okay." β
Chu Yan ran away with a red face and seemed to have to enter the house, as if she was afraid that Mu Zexi would want to be crooked, she deliberately chose a position far away from the bed and sat upright, with a serious expression.
This kind of situation is also the first time in the world. Thinking that Chu Xiang was holding Chu Yan's ear and teaching her to sit and sit, Chu Yan was unmoved. Now, he is sitting so consciously and decently.
As soon as Mu Zexi entered, he couldn't hold back and laughed softly.
"You, what are you laughing at?"
Chu Yan swallowed her saliva, she had known Mu Zexi for so long, but she still hadn't been able to train her ability to resist pressure, as soon as she saw Mu Zexi laughing, Miss Chu couldn't help but swallow her saliva, it was really embarrassing-
"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous."
Mu Zexi glanced at Chu Yan with a smile, and then sat down at the table.
"I, what am I nervous about?"
Chu Yan's face turned even redder, the more she told herself that she didn't mean anything else, but the more she thought about it, they all said that women's desires were greater than men's, Chu Yan used to be beaten to death and didn't admit it, but at this time, she sincerely believed that her desire was indeed stronger than Mu Zexi.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, so you don't have to be nervous."
As soon as Mu Zexi's voice fell, Chu Yan's face turned red.
Groove !!
Sure enough, Mu Zexi misunderstood what he meant.
They also explained to themselves that because I would get up early tomorrow morning, I would refuse your invitation tonight.
Granny Bear!!
To say that Chu Yan was a little awkward at first, now there is only contempt left.
"Have a nice trip."
racked his brains to think about it, but only thought of this sentence. Usually when parting, do you say this sentence?
Mu Zexi nodded and gave a soft sigh of gratitude. His gaze lingered on Chu Yan's face.
"If the enemy is too tough, don't fight hard, remember to crush them with your intelligence."
Actually, Chu Yan originally wanted to say that if the enemy is too strong and can't win, don't be strong, run away. But you don't have to think about it to know, how can a person like Mu Zexi escape? He is not himself.
Sure enough, Mu Zexi knew what Chu Yan was thinking, and pursed his lips slightly, his eyes full of smiles.
Chu Yan sniffed, pretending to be indifferent and continued: "It is said that even a dog in the barracks is male, it is better to be true!" β
"Qiyang City, Xu has no dogs."
Mu Zexi couldn't help but smile and replied seriously.
Whether there is a dog or not is not the key, the key is that it has to be male.
After thinking about it, Chu Yan glared at Mu Zexi fiercely again, and said viciously: "Even if you have a mother, even if you bend it, you can't take a look!! β
"Bent?"
Although I don't understand what it means to bend, but thinking about it, Chu Yan can't spit out ivory in her mouth, and Mu Zexi knows that it must not be a good thing to say as soon as she guesses.
It's just that Chu Yan racked her brains like this to think about what she wanted to say, and when she said it, it was all nonsense.
So Miss Chu simply held her breath in her heart and stopped talking.
Mu Zexi, who was sitting on the side, took out the half of the jade pendant engraved with the word Mu from his waist, walked over and put it in Chu Yan's hand. "This is all the property of the Six Kings' Mansion, keep it safe."
In the past, every time Chu Yan said that the family property was divided equally, but now, when Mu Zexi put this jade pendant into Chu Yan's hand, she suddenly felt that this jade pendant seemed to weigh a thousand catties.
Chu Yan threw the jade pendant into Mu Zexi's hand like a hot potato, "Your things, take care of them yourself." β
This sentence, if Chu Yan said it before, Mu Zexi would definitely be excited for a long time. However, at this time, Mu Zexi was full of emotion, touched Chu Yan's head dotingly, and wore the jade on Chu Yan's neck.
"This jade pendant is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is comfortable to wear. If you really don't like it, put it away, and if you get into trouble, take it out, and when you see this jade pendant, someone will help you. β
This jade pendant is actually a symbol of the identity of the future prince. Mu Zexi didn't say it, and Chu Yan didn't know either. The preciousness of this thing was something she had never imagined.
Chu Yan lowered her head, her mind was in chaos, and for a moment, she even thought impulsively, don't care so much, since she likes it, she will be awkward, but before she could figure it out, Mu Zexi gently stroked her head and said in a low voice: "Rest early." After speaking, the person disappeared from Chu Yan's sight.
