Mu Qiuhuang accompanied Mu Qiuming to play for several hours, and finally waited for Mu Qiuming to be tired of playing and sent him back to the room to rest, and it was already twilight when he returned to Wutong Garden.

As soon as I came back, I found that Chun Tao was already looking forward to it outside Wutong Garden.

welcomed Mu Qiuhuang into the door, and without waiting for Chun Tao to speak, Mu Qiuhuang said, "What about the preserved egg and lean porridge boiled for me?" It was almost served, and I could smell the fragrance from afar. ”

Hearing Mu Qiuhuang's words, Chun Tao ran out with a happy face, and after a while, he brought a big casserole like a treasure, and greeted Mu Qiuhuang very proudly: "Son, come and taste the taste of today's preserved egg and lean porridge?" This is the result of a whole hour of slow boiling. ”

"Spring peaches are boiled by hand, and the taste is naturally excellent." Mu Qiuhuang praised it.

took the dishes and chopsticks, ate three bowls in one go, wiped his mouth and continued to praise: "Chun Tao, your preserved egg and lean porridge is really delicious." ”

Seeing the sweetness of Mu Qiuhuang's food, Chun Tao was very happy.

The reason why I am happy is not because I was praised by Mu Qiuhuang, but because I felt that Mu Qiuhuang valued me.

Because when she entered the door, Chun Tao had already smelled the smell of wine on Mu Qiuhuang's body, and knew that Gongzi had already eaten dinner, but in order not to disappoint herself, Gongzi still ate three bowls of porridge.

can stay like this with the maid in the house, except for Mu Qiuhuang, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a second person.

Chun Tao also has only one thought in her heart at this moment: she has to meet her son, and she is fortunate to have three lives.

"As long as the son likes to eat it, the spring peach will be made for the son to eat every day in the future." Chun Tao said with joy in her heart.

"Well, as long as you're not tired, you can eat every day when you boil this son." Mu Qiuhuang casually agreed.

At this moment, another green-clothed maid walked in the door and saluted Mu Qiuhuang, and asked: "The slave has already ordered the subordinates to prepare bath water, but the son is bathing now?" ”

"Well, I just played with my little sister and got a stinky sweat." Mu Qiuhuang nodded.

"Then the slave and maid will retire first, and let Sister Xia He serve the son to bathe!" Chun Tao squeezed her eyebrows at Mu Qiuhuang and Xia He and said, biting the word "service" very hard.

"This girl is really not big or small." Mu Qiuhuang looked at Chun Tao's back and said helplessly, but there was no blame in his tone.

"Chun Tao is like this by nature, but she doesn't have any bad intentions."

Xia He looked at Mu Qiuhuang's face turned red, and explained for Chun Tao in a low voice.

There are more than ten maids and maidservants in Wutong Garden, but there are only four who can be called personal maids, respectively named spring, summer, autumn and winter. In addition to the spring peach and summer lotus in front of you, there are also two young maids whose names are autumn frost and winter snow.

The personalities and habits of the four maids are also very different, the spring peach is lively and active, the summer lotus is gentle and elegant, the autumn frost is charming and moving, and the winter snow is as cold as frost. Among them, Chun Tao and Xia He are mainly responsible for Mu Qiuhuang's food and clothing, while Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue are able to write and martial arts, handling most of the affairs except food and clothing for Mu Qiuhuang.

Although Mu Qiuhuang treats the four maids equally, only Chun Tao dares to speak like this in front of Mu Qiuhuang.

"Alright, let's go take a bath!" Mu Qiuhuang commanded at Xia He.

"Yes." Xia He replied.

Compared with the delicate and graceful bath barrel used by southerners when bathing, northerners bathing is rough and atmospheric.

Northerners generally don't like to be confined to the bath tub, and those who have a large family will build a special bath at home, while the poor people are willing to spend a few dollars to take a hot bath in the public bath although they can't afford to repair the bathroom at home.

And the Hou Shizi of Beiyu naturally has his own bathroom "Liquan".

Compared with ordinary bathrooms, Liquan is more luxurious than the atmosphere.

Push the door in, the walls of the whole bathroom are made of bluestone, there is a fireplace on it, the floor is all paved with granite, and a marble bath with a length and width of nine zhang is dug out in the center, and a large piece of natural warm jade carved into the shape of a human chair is placed in the bath, and the four crane beak incense burners placed in the four corners of the bathroom are the perfect interpretation of the word luxury.

I saw that the crane body was hollow, embedded with white glaze, with a strip of blue glaze on the back, with filigree as a feather pattern, and the crane's beak was glazed with dark green glaze, and the red top. Incense is lit, and the aroma slowly erupts from the beak of the crane, mixing with the heat in the bath, as if making people feel like they are in the wonderland of Yao Pond.

At this time, there were four maidservants who were dancing with fruit and wine, Xia He and the other maidservants arranged the fruit and wine and retreated, and then walked to Mu Qiuhuang and said softly: "The slave and maid change the clothes for the son." ”

……

After Mu Qiuhuang finished washing, he left Liquan but did not go back to the bedroom directly, but walked towards the study.

When Mu Qiuhuang came to the study, he saw that Qiushuang and Dongxue had been waiting here for a long time, both of them were twenty-eight years old, Qiushuang was dressed in apricot yellow, Dongxue was white like snow, and the two of them looked tired, obviously just coming back from outside.

After Mu Qiuhuang sat down, Qiushuang stepped forward and said, "Yu Gongzi, I have followed your instructions to let the ghost wind and ghost rain pretend to be bandits and hide in Mangdang Mountain. ”

"Do they have a complaint against me?"

"No, they know that the last incident, if it weren't for Gongzi's intercession, they were afraid that they would be killed, and Youfeng asked me to bring a message to Gongzi: The nine hundred and seventy-seven people of the Blood Phoenix Banner are grateful to Gongzi and obey their orders."

"I'm the one who caused them."

Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself, took a pen from the table, wrote a letter on the paper, handed it to Qiushuang and said, "Tomorrow you will go to Leizhou City again and hand this over to Qi Sanbao." ”

"Yes," Qiushuang took the letter.

"By the way, are those border soldiers coming?" Mu Qiuhuang asked again.

"They have arrived in Yunzhou and are arranged at the Cirrus Cloud Inn, can the prince be summoned?"

"No, I'll go find them tomorrow! Go down and rest first! ”

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Autumn Frost got up and left.

Mu Qiuhuang turned his head to look at Dong Xue and asked, "Sir, do you have any news?" ”

Dongxue replied: "There is no news. However, I have sent a number of troops into Miao Jiang, and if there is any news, I will send it back as soon as possible. ”

Mu Qiuhuang was slightly disappointed when he heard this, sighed and said, "Mr. will definitely be fine." ”

It's just that I don't know if this sentence is said to Dongxue? Or do you want to listen to yourself?

"If the son has nothing else to do, the slave and maid will retire first." Dongxue asked.

"Wait."

Mu Qiuhuang stood up, and did not shy away from the winter snow, and made a fuss on the bookshelf behind him, only to see a square brick bounce up under the table. Mu Qiuhuang took out a box of unknown material from it, and it took a while of tinkering on the box to open the box, Mu Qiuhuang took out a thin booklet from it and handed it to Dong Xue and said, "This is for you." ”

After receiving the booklet, Rao was also stunned and shocked when he saw the four words "Eight Desolation Sword Sutra" written on it.

For the people of the world, the four great sword immortals are mythical figures, if they can get their inheritance, how many people dream of it but can't get it.

At this time, the sword move of the sword immortal Gu Chenyuan was in his hands.

How can I not be surprised? How can you not like it?

Mu Qiuhuang said to Dong Xue: "Mr. asked me to find a suitable disciple for him, I remember that you have been learning swords since you were a child." ”

Hearing that he was indeed preparing to cultivate for himself, Dongxue was pleasantly surprised, but he also knew that this sword book was priceless, so he hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "The slave doesn't dare, this favor is too heavy." ”

"What dare not? Let you take it, and you will take it. ”

Mu Qiuhuang was a little angry and said, "Don't say that my qi is useless now, and I can't use force." Even if my qi sea is intact, it is not suitable for learning Mr. swordsmanship. This is what Mr. said himself, otherwise Mr. would not have asked me to find a disciple for him before leaving. ”

Dong Xue was even more shocked at this time, and she had already learned that the thin old man beside her former son was the legendary Crazy Sword Immortal Gu Chenyuan.

"Alright, put it away! This son will have to rely on you to protect him in the future! Mu Qiuhuang said.

"Gongzi is gracious, and Dongxue will definitely repay him with death." Dongxue said solemnly.

"Who wants you to repay you with death?"

Mu Qiuhuang picked up Dongxue and said seriously: "We all have to live well, and we must live happily." ”
