14. Two masters and servants
He Mu talked about the second half of the story when she was a child. Murong Sanniang listened to He Mu's nonsense, and couldn't help but laugh at the corners of her mouth covered by the veil. Perhaps He Mu and Huang Yu were too involved in talking, and Murong's trembling shoulders were not noticed.
Huang Yu was stunned for a moment, "If Miss Mu doesn't know chess, then Huang will first ask Miss Mu what wonderful performance she has today?" ”
"No, I don't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Oh, Xiao Niang only told me before that it was to commemorate the love between the emperor and the queen, as for the performance of winning the championship, He Mu refused directly without thinking about it, if He Mu she would sit down quietly and tinker with these.
He Mu turned around and quietly looked at Murong Sanniang, the culprit, and Murong Sanniang didn't even give He Mu a look, just stared at the chessboard on the stage, as if to say: You didn't ask me so much at that time.
……
"Miss, are you alright?" Xiaolian looked at Guo Xiaoxiao cautiously.
Since that holy decree came down, Guo Xiaoxiao has not laughed all day, and he has not eaten tea and rice, so he is so anxious that Xiaolian is turning.
"Miss, do you care about Xiaolian, you haven't eaten or spoken for a day, Xiaolian is very worried about you. Please, eat something. ”
Xiaolian scooped up the rice porridge, but Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes and mouth didn't move, and Xiaolian's tears flowed in her eyes. "Miss, I am your personal maid, I have already told the master that I want to be Miss's dowry maid, so that the young lady will not be afraid of the Du family bullying you when she marries the Du family. Xiaolian will block the young lady. They won't hurt Miss in the slightest. ”
"Xiaolian?" After Guo Xiaoxiao listened to Xiaolian's words, her face finally turned a little bloody.
"Xiaolian, you don't have to do this, we made an appointment before, and when I get married, you will be free from now on."
"Miss, I was sold to the capital family since I was four years old, and I am already a person who has no relatives and no reason, if it weren't for Miss and the old man to enjoy the food, Xiaolian would have starved to death and been thrown in the Dead Man's Mountain. Even if I become a free body, Xiaolian doesn't know where to go, so it's better to stay with Miss all the time. ”
"Little Lotus. I broke my promise. Guo Xiaoxiao touched the head of Xiaolian, who was one year younger than herself, and the tears that she had endured for a long time finally flowed.
"Miss, it's okay, Xiaolian will always be with you."
"Auntie, who is the black on that stage?"
He Mu took a fancy to Chen Baifan, who was wearing black, and sighed in his heart: People are more popular than people.
The two people on the stage are completely extreme, Chen Baifan is dressed in black, there is no extra decoration on the black clothes, only the corners of the clothes are dotted with red satin, and there are all the clothes on the body, giving people the feeling that they are very stable, and the whole body is a derivative aura that no one can approach. And He Mu dared to pack a ticket, and all the men here today were not as good as him.
Although the other person on the stage was dressed in blue and had a slight sense of youth, there was a lot of difference in the aura of the person in black, and he was completely like a senior and a junior.
Because He Mu's position is farther away from the stage, the faces of the people on the stage are all mosaic-like now.
He Mu didn't like the young man in blue at first sight, because he had a frivolity that didn't fit his age. However, He Mu has a great interest in the young man in black.
"He is the town lord of our Dongcheng Town, and he is the number one person in the Yamen."
"Auntie, didn't you say before that our town lord is an old man?"
"That's right, we have two town lords in Dongcheng Town, but he is in charge of the yamen, and the other one is not very clear, it should be similar to this one."
"And how does this guy look?"
As soon as He Mu's words came out, Murong Sanniang slashed at He Mu's head with one palm.
"Ah, it hurts, what are you doing, auntie?" He Mu covered his injured head and looked at Murong Sanniang with tears in his eyes.
Murong Sanniang is a martial arts student, and his strength is heavier than that of ordinary people. Although he controlled his strength, a light palm was enough to make He Mu cry.
"I told you not to take the book so closely, but you don't listen, what will I do when I see you in the future? It's better to be blind. I can't find my husband's house, I see that your master won't break your legs. "Murong Sanniang looks like she hates iron but not steel.
"I'm sorry Auntie, not next time." Master won't beat me.
"Hmph." Murong Sanniang tilted her face and ignored He Mu.
"Miss Mu, are you okay?"
He Mu and Murong Sanniang were too much of a movement, Huang Yu looked at He Mu who was covering his head, and asked cautiously, "Miss Mu is not feeling well." ”
"I'm fine, I'm fine." He Mu pushed away Huang Yu's outstretched hand. "Don't bother Huang Gongzi."
Murong Sanniang saw that Huang Yu was too active, as if she suddenly remembered something, so she got up and changed places with He Mu. "Get up. I'll switch places with you. ”
"What's wrong, auntie." He Mu looked at Murong Sanniang who stood up with a confused expression.
Murong Sanniang stood up and covered the sight of the people behind her, and many people cursed.
He Mu saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed positions with Murong Sanniang.
"Auntie, why did you suddenly switch places with me."
Murong Sanniang glanced at Huang Yu and said softly to He Mu, "The main thing is that I saw that person kept talking to you, and he was not a good person at first glance." Your master told me before he went out that if he saw those men talking to Mu'er for more than three sentences, he would be beaten to death. Murong Sanniang looked indignant, gesturing with her hands under the table.
"But Auntie, I've been talking to him for more than three sentences."
"I just forgot, and now I remember."
He Mu also knelt down for the couple, obviously they were already in their thirties, and they were still like children every day, and they really went back more and more.
He Mu and Huang Yu were separated by Murong Sanniang, and Huang Yu just felt bored and got up and left.
He Mu watched Huang Yu leave with a blank face, threw peanuts into his mouth, and turned his eyes to look at Chen Baifan who was playing on the stage.
What a damn temperament!
He Mu was about to see the starry eyes.
......
Bai Qi walked into Guo Xiaoxiao's house with a group of maids, and the maids put all the boxes in their hands on the table and went out.
Xiaolian wanted to accompany Guo Xiaoxiao all night tonight, but when she saw that Bai Qi seemed to have something to say, she also walked out of the room, closed the door softly and stayed outside.
Bai Qi pulled Guo Xiaoxiao up and walked to the table and sat down, touching Guo Xiaoxiao's hand distressedly, her eyes couldn't help but moisten, and she couldn't bear to look up. "Xiao'er, thank you for your hard work. As a woman, she can't influence the affairs of the court, and the emperor's order is even more difficult. At this moment, my mother can't wait to go to the Dujia desperately, and I don't want to marry you into the Dujia even if I fight for my old life. It's because my mother didn't protect you. Bai Qi's eyes were full of tears, drop by drop on the overlapping hands of the two.
Guo Xiaoxiao pulled out her hand and gently lifted Bai Qi's head, and gently wiped away the tears on Bai Qi's face with her fingertips. "Mother, this daughter's parents always want to marry when she grows up, but Xiao'er is earlier. And Xiao'er is still married, Xiao'er is married to the Du family, the richest family in the imperial city. And it was given by the emperor for marriage. Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Qi with a smile on her face, as if this marriage was voluntary.
"Xiao'er." Bai Qi touched Guo Xiaoxiao's head.
"Yes, mother, is there anything wrong with you coming here? What are these? Is it eaten? ”
Guo Xiaoxiao pointed to the boxes on the table. Being reminded by Guo Xiaoxiao, Bai Qi remembered the purpose of tonight's trip, and reached out to open those boxes. After the box was opened, Guo Xiaoxiao knew what was inside.
There are a total of four boxes containing the title deeds and jewelry of the store, and the jewelry has a total of three boxes with beads and bracelets strung together, which are worth a lot of money at a glance, as well as large and small hair accessories, which are divided into large boxes by the owner, and small ones in one box.
"Xiao'er, you can hold these by your side in case you need them." Bai Qi picked up a bracelet and brought it into Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, "I still remember this bracelet as your favorite, you were only ten years old at the time, and when you saw your mother carrying it, you shouted that you would also bring it." ”
"Mother." Guo Xiaoxiao also fell into memories.
"But it's so big in a blink of an eye... You also have these title deeds, although our Guo family is not as big as the Du family, but we still have a family background, you have all of these, you don't have to rely on the Du family, my Xiao'er will not worry about money in this life. If you take these to live in the capital, you will be much more relieved as a mother. ”
"Mother, you have given so much to Xiao'er, what about you?"
"You don't have to worry about this...
"Madam, the lord told you to come over." Xiaolian shouted outside the door.
Bai Qi hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Okay, I'll come now." ”
"Mother, go over, Xiao'er is fine." Guo Xiaoxiao nodded. Signaled Bai Qi not to worry too much.
"Ma'am." Xiaolian opened the door, Bai Qi stopped, looked at the little Xiaolian, and the sadness in her heart deepened.
After Guo Xiaoxiao saw Bai Qi leaving, she opened her mouth and called Xiaolian, "Xiaolian, close the door and come in!" He got up and put away the box sent by Bai Qi, leaving a few beads and bracelets.
"Okay." Xiaolian closed the door and walked to Guo Xiaoxiao's side. "Miss."
"Sit down, I've got something to say to you." Guo Xiaoxiao patted the chair next to her.
Xiaolian hurriedly waved her hand, "Miss, it's better for Xiaolian to stand." ”
"It's okay, it's just the two of us here, you just sit down." Guo Xiaoxiao pulled Xiaolian to sit next to her. "Xiaolian, you have these things."
Guo Xiaoxiao put the jewelry she had just left in Xiaolian's hand, and Xiaolian who was frightened knelt directly on the ground.
Although Guo Xiaoxiao and Xiaolian usually miss sisters when they get along, they still know the difference between master and servant.
"Miss, this is absolutely unacceptable, Miss is usually not thin on Xiaolian, and she will always think about Xiaolian when it is fun and delicious." Xiaolian shed tears in fright, lowered her head and sobbed, almost kowtowed. "Miss, if Xiaolian usually does something bad, please Miss must punish Xiaolian well."
"Xiaolian, you get up first." Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the motionless little face. "I'm still in the Guo family, so you won't listen to me, so if you accompany me to marry the Du family, don't you even see me?"
"Miss, that's not the case." Xiaolian kowtowed in fright.
"Little Lotus." Guo Xiaoxiao pulled up Xiaolian. "I'm holding these things for you. Now you have to go to the capital house with me, and it is harmless to leave something of value on you. After Guo Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Xiaolian dared to look up at Guo Xiaoxiao. Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao nodded, Xiaolian took the box tremblingly.
……
There was applause on the stage, and He Mu woke up leisurely, and was about to open his mouth to ask Murong Sanniang who ended the game. The person in charge of the stage read out the results in his loud voice.
"Chess field Chen Baifan wins."
Amazing, it's not a loss to the man I He Mu fancies. When the results were announced, Huang Yu, who had already left the table, also returned to his position.
"Huang Gongzi, what's wrong with your face? You okay? ”
He Mu looked at Huang Yu's face with some red marks, and because Huang Yu's position was facing away from the light, He Mu couldn't see what kind of shape the marks on Huang Yu's face were.
"Thank you Miss Mu for your concern, but I just stepped on the air and fell on the way back."
He Mu nodded convincingly, "Well, when my aunt and I came in just now, the lights in the aisle were a little dim, and the undulating steps were really careful. ”
