Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Most Difficult to Accept the Grace of Beauty (Part II)
"Could it be ......" Mu Qiuhuang looked at the clothes in his hand, and couldn't help but think of the words of the shopkeeper just now, and remembered the portrait of himself in the shopkeeper's hand when he entered the inn before, and then looked at the specially built bath under him...... Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and naturally recalled in his mind the conversation he had with Su Xiaoxiao in the carriage when he was in Kyoto.
He remembers.
When he himself asked what kind of man Su Xiaoxiao was going to find as a husband in the future?
Su Xiaoxiao said without thinking at the time, of course, to find a man like him.
When he deliberately said that he would have three wives and four concubines lingering in the flowers in the future, he asked Su Xiaoxiao if he would mind?
Su Xiaoxiao said very seriously at that time, if she was favored, she would be willing to be a concubine.
……
"If you are favored, you will be willing to be a concubine." This is what Su Xiaoxiao once said to him, to be precise, this is Su Xiaoxiao's naked confession to him.
Although Mu Qiuhuang hid and diverted the topic, he still had a trace of strange thoughts in his heart.
He had never seen Ji Ruoxue at that time, but because of the existence of that marriage contract, he resisted it from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want his marriage to be linked to the exchange of interests. And when he rejected Situ Luqi at that time, it was because he couldn't feel the slightest feeling for Situ Luqi in his heart, and he felt that he had no love for her. But... Su Xiaoxiao is different, he actually had a trace of thoughts about Su Xiaoxiao at that time, but in the face of Su Xiaoxiao's direct expression, the reason why he didn't face it intuitively was because he wasn't sure how true or false Su Xiaoxiao's love for him was? You know, Su Xiaoxiao is different from the other two daughters. Ji Ruoxue is the daughter of the Marquis of Xilie, and Situ Luqi is the only daughter of Situ Buqi. The family background of these two girls is different from Su Xiaoxiao, and I don't know how many times stronger than Su Xiaoxiao's life experience? In other words, these two daughters are the right person with him, and as these two daughters themselves, there is no need to covet him or anything. But what about Su Xiaoxiao? Su Xiaoxiao has been an orphan since she was a child, and she can grow up alone in such a harsh environment to this height, all the pain and suffering she has experienced are not only unthinkable to the pampered second daughter, but even Mu Qiuhuang herself is a little ashamed. From the fact that she was able to slowly change from an orphan to a "feather" in the "swallow foot", it is enough to see her skill and resourcefulness, as well as a series of layouts she made in order to devote herself to Mu Qiuhuang's command...... Believe it! Mu Qiuhuang was not sure that Su Xiaoxiao's confession to him was really in love? Or is it just to take the opportunity to get on top? He wasn't sure, did Su Xiaoxiao value him as a person, or did he value his identity as the son of Beiyu?
However, judging from the series of arrangements that Su Xiaoxiao specially made for him today, Su Xiaoxiao definitely has him in his heart.
If there is no other person in your heart. How could he paint so vividly?
If there is no other person in your heart. How could he remember his habit of taking a bath and specially built a bath for him?
If there is no other person in your heart. Where did the high-quality and workmanlike clothes in front of him come from?
……
……
Just when Mu Qiuhuang was immersed in the memories of getting along with Su Xiaoxiao, he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly put on this clothes, and then didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran outside barefoot.
He suddenly thought of a possibility, could Su Xiaoxiao suddenly disappear into his later life? It stands to reason that Su Xiaoxiao should be waiting for him in the inn today, why would he go out to buy something useful for himself. Besides, what do you have to buy? Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang suddenly felt a great sadness in his heart.
"I hope I won't leave suddenly, I hope I won't ......" Mu Qiuhuang said silently, pushing open the bathroom door.
The shopkeeper who had just been reprimanded by Mu Qiuhuang was leaning against the door at this time and listening to the movement inside, he couldn't understand why he had just collided with the other party? But he never wanted to be pushed by Mu Qiuhuang suddenly, and directly knocked his front teeth.
"Oops," the shopkeeper groaned involuntarily.
"Say, when did that girl leave today? Where did it go? Mu Qiuhuang directly grabbed the placket on the shopkeeper's chest and asked anxiously.
"Oops......" The shopkeeper covered his gums with one hand and groaned again.
"Shut up!" Mu Qiuhuang looked at him viciously, and asked impatiently, "Where did the girl go?" If I can't find her, I'll kill you alive. ”
The shopkeeper scolded his mother angrily at this time, thinking that if he didn't reward the two of them, why would he suffer such a crime? You're just a boy with two stinky money, and you really think of yourself as a character?
"Speak quickly......" Mu Qiuhuang was extremely anxious at this time, and couldn't help but increase the strength in his hands.
Although the shopkeeper was furious in his heart, he didn't dare to continue moaning when he looked at Mu Qiuhuang's murderous face in front of him, so he had to explain aggrievedly: "This ...... The villain really doesn't know, the girl only told the villain to entertain a good son, as for where she is going? The villain didn't dare to ask......"
"Waste ......" After Mu Qiuhuang listened, he pushed the shopkeeper away and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the inn.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the inn, Mu Qiuhuang began to make trouble again, looking at the vast sea of people on the street, he really didn't know where to find Su Xiaoxiao? In order to be alone with Ji Ruoxue on the road this time, he sent all four of Su Xiaoxiao and Huang Meixiao out, but in order to maintain the mystery of "Huang Ling", Mu Qiuhuang did not allow Su Xiaoxiao to pay attention to Su Xiao's whereabouts. And "Huang Ling" has always been directly led by Su Xiaoxiao, he just wants to find out Su Xiaoxiao's news through Huang Ling, I don't know how to unite Huang Ling's people?
"By the way? This is Qin Lu, the territory of the Xilie Marquis Mansion......" Mu Qiuhuang's heart couldn't help but move, but in an instant, he vetoed his idea again. You can't go to Ji Ruoxue by yourself, let him help him find Su Xiaoxiao, right? Besides, if it is really as she imagined, if Su Xiaoxiao is determined to leave, even if he finds her, what can he do? You can't restrict her freedom and force her to stay with you, right?
Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but start to make difficulties? But when he thought that he might never see Su Xiaoxiao again from now on, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart...... Eventually, he squatted down weakly.
"Childe, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, a crisp voice came into Mu Qiuhuang's ears.
The sound was not loud, but it was like a Van bell, pulling Mu Qiuhuang's state of mind from a sudden loss back to the light. Mu Qiuhuang raised his head when he heard the sound, a familiar red dress came into the depths of his eyes, and he moved up with Mu Qiuhuang's gaze, only to see a ray of sunlight shining on Mu Qiuhuang's eyes through Su Xiao's hair.
"Childe, what are you doing here? Why are you still barefoot? Su Xiaoxiao's delicate cheeks couldn't help but be full of doubts.
"It's... This ......" Mu Qiuhuang looked at Su Xiaoxiao in front of him and opened his mouth, although he didn't say anything, he was relieved in his heart.
After Su Xiaoxiao looked at the clothes Mu Qiuhuang was wearing, her eyes also showed a sense of satisfaction.
"You... What did you do? Mu Qiuhuang asked.
"Isn't Gongzi planning to go to the Xilie Marquis Mansion to propose? As the personal butler of the son, he naturally has to prepare the dowry for the son! Su Xiaoxiao said, and then I don't know what came to mind? His eyes flickered, and he said to himself: "Didn't I explain to the innkeeper when I left, and let him relay the son?" ”
"Oh! Maybe I didn't pay attention to ...... listening," Mu Qiuhuang laughed and snorted.
"Childe, what ...... are you?"
"Ahh I...... I'm here to bask in the sun. ”
"Basking in the sun?" Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look up at the sky.
"By the way, you said you were going to have dinner with me in the evening, what are we going to eat?" Mu Qiuhuang began to look at Su Xiaoxiao, looking at him left and right.
"Oh......" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Qiuhuang and said, "Childe, let's go wash your feet first and put on your shoes!" ”
"Hmm...... Good! ”
……
……
In the evening, the two of them ate on the side stove, and the strange thing is that the two of them just sat upright, neither of them moved their chopsticks, and they did not speak for a long time. The heat in the pot rose, and the cheeks of the two of them were filled in it, and after a while, "Goo... Coo.
"Eat shabu-shabu!" Mu Qiuhuang opened his mouth and said, in order to hide his true emotions, Mu Qiuhuang also picked up chopsticks.
"Hmm." When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, he stretched out his hand to pick up the chopsticks, took a piece of hairy belly and put it in the pot.
When Su Xiaoxiao was cooking vegetables, Mu Qiuhuang noticed that Su Xiaoxiao's originally white and delicate fingers had many dense needle eyes, and some places had even scabbed......
"Childe, why don't you eat it?" Su Xiaoxiao said.
"Well, eat." Mu Qiuhuang picked up a piece of yellow throat and fed it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
"You eat too."
"Hmm." Su Xiaoxiao answered.
The room was very quiet, only the sound of the two of them chewing, and there was no joy in the atmosphere of the two of them eating together when they were in Fengling City before. What's even more strange is that the piece of yellow throat that Mu Qiuhuang chewed in his mouth was raw, and it was not scalded at all. And the hairy belly in Su's little mouth is already burned. This scene was unimaginable for these two people who "never get tired of eating, never getting tired of eating", but the strange thing is that not only did the two of them not notice that each other's food was abnormal, but they didn't even feel what they were in their mouths. The two of them chewed mechanically and swallowed mechanically.
After eating this chopstick, the two of them each picked up a chopstick ingredient very tacitly. Seem... What are both trying to hide?
