The maids peeking on the side, seeing the appearance of the sixth young master, their eyes lit up one by one, as for Liu Mengyan, the object of Qiao Gu's thoughts, she didn't see half a wave on her face, she was good-looking, she didn't like Qiao Gusi, no matter how good-looking Qiao Gusi was, she couldn't cover the prejudice she already had in her heart.

"I'm sorry, cousin, I really can't help, don't embarrass me......" Liu Mengyan was saying her refusal, and Jiang suddenly pushed her.

"Jiang Xue, you can help your cousin. Since the last incident, your cousin has felt guilty every day, for fear of being hated by you and Jiang Liu, so you should give him a chance to reconcile with you. Jiang Shi helped his son speak, eagerly.

Liu Mengyan, who was pushed to Qiao Gusi's side by the Jiang family, stumbled, but quickly stabilized her figure.

Qiao Gusi raised his hand and saw that Liu Mengyan refused to agree, so he directly grabbed Liu Mengyan's wrist, and was about to pull Liu Mengyan to polish his ink, "Cousin Jiang Xue, if you don't know, I'll teach you." ”

Liu Mengyan was about to break free of her hand, but someone was one step faster than her, Jin Ruyu, who was wearing a mask, stretched out her hand to block, it didn't seem to use much strength, but she successfully made Qiao Gusi let go of the hand holding her.

"What do you do?" Qiao Gusi stopped, turned his head, looked at Jin Ruyu and raised his eyebrows.

Liu Mengyan saw that Qiao Gusi was going to question Jin Ruyu, and immediately wanted to stop it, how to say that this masked man is a cold and arrogant uncle of the Seventeenth Emperor, it is enough for her to die in front of Jin Ruyu, Qiao Gusi should not be involved.

Even if she didn't like Qiao Gusi much, this nephew who was also her dead mother couldn't see him suffering from Jin Ruyu's guilt in vain.

It's just that Jin Ruyu's reaction couldn't be calmer, and he just said in his high-minded tone: "I did what I should do as a guard." ”

even avoided the title of "this king", Jin Ruyu cooperated with this, Liu Mengyan really felt quite surprised.

"What a guard should do is listen to his master, and your master has not said anything, but you are arrogant and do it, how can this be done as a guard." Qiao Gusi's attitude towards Jin Ruyu was not bad, nor was he half-condescending.

Even if Liu Mengyan said that Jin Ruyu was a guard, Jin Ruyu also claimed to be a guard, but this masked man was dressed in brocade clothes, with an inexplicable momentum, and an overly indifferent tone, it was really difficult to really regard Jin Ruyu as a guard. There is only the Jiang family, who is probably annoyed to make up the story of the aristocratic young man who fell into a guard in the road, and Qiao Gusi is not as serious as his mother.

Her cousin is a very capable person, this does not require long-term contact and understanding, just by virtue of the last incident, she used her calm and calm attitude and neat means to prove to the Qiao family how outstanding she is, and it seems that there is an extra strange person around such a cousin It is not a matter of much fuss.

"It is enough to have one guard who listens to what the master says before doing things, and he will observe words and feelings, and it is also what the guard should do for the sake of the master." Jin Ruyu's dress and tone didn't match the guards at all, and the words she said really looked a little like the guards.

Fang You, the guard who only did things when the master had an order, silently despised Jin Ruyu in his heart, he was a good seventeenth emperor uncle, he was not good to be his king of Jin, what kind of guard he pretended to be, if he wanted to be a guard, he was a professional. Although it was still a killer not long ago.

"Your master is my cousin, I asked her to do a little favor, what's wrong? If you don't look at words and colors, it's better not to look at them. If it weren't for the intervention of this man who inexplicably claimed to be a guard, he would have successfully abducted his cousin to polish his ink at this time, and if he hadn't been disturbed by a masked man who didn't even dare to show his true face, Qiao Gusi's mood was not happy.

"She's not happy, you should be interesting." Liu Mengyan will be merciful when she speaks, but Jin Ruyu will not.

Jiang and Qiao Gusi were both a little dissatisfied with Jin Ruyu's actions, Liu Mengyan was a little helpless for a while, Jin Ruyu was helping her, and he did see that she was not happy to be close to Qiao Gusi. But isn't that adding to the chaos right now?

"Xiao Yu, you shut up and get out of the way." Liu Mengyan stopped Jin Ruyu from continuing to argue with Qiao Gusi, not because she was worried that Jiang and Qiao Gusi would have prejudices against her, but because she was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with Jin Ruyu later, so she took off her mask and showed her true body, isn't that over, the Taishi Mansion is over, and she Liu Mengyan is also finished.

Jin Ruyu often has novel experiences here in Liu Mengyan, such as this "Xiao Yu" ...... Although his name was chosen as such, he was never called that before.

"But ......" Jin Ruyu was a little reluctant, this cousin of Liu Mengyan couldn't even tell that Liu Mengyan didn't want to talk to him, he was really uninteresting.

"Have you ever seen a guard talk back to his master, and he won't let him go." Liu Mengyan pushed Jin Ruyu, who refused to move, and asked him to stand back.

Jin Ruyu retreated behind Liu Mengyan unhappily.

Qiao Gusi proudly raised his eyebrows at Jin Ruyu, although he couldn't see the masked man's expression through the mask, Qiao Gusi guessed that there must be a black face under the mask.

"Jiang Liu will grind ink, let Jiang Liu help his cousin." Liu Mengyan pushed Chu Jiangliu out unkindly, whether it was grinding ink or cultivating the feelings of relatives, she was not the only one who could do it, and there was no Chu Jiangliu.

Chu Jiangliu followed Liu Mengyan's side, and there was often such a situation, he was pushed out by his sister to block this and there, this open gun is easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, and his sister always comes to say a sentence suddenly, which catches him off guard, so he can only keep lying down and grabbing. “

"Ah, sister, I ......" Chu Jiangliu was about to open his mouth to explain, but was interrupted.

Cousins are different from cousins, and they don't need any tenderness and respect to treat their cousins at all, just drag them away. Qiao Gusi walked over and pulled Chu Jiangliu and left, "Then trouble Cousin Jiangliu to come over and polish the ink for Cousin!" ”

Qiao Gusi dragged Chu Jiang away, and Jiang saw that Liu Mengyan was just standing in place, and had no intention of following, so he said: "Jiang Xue, let's go over and take a look, what is your cousin going to write here, so exciting." ”

Jiang knew that Chu Jiangliu was a light-hearted child, although he was only one year younger than his own sister, the scheming of the sister and brother was completely different. Liu Mengyan is sophisticated and sophisticated, and has a deep mind, Chu Jiangliu is smarter than his peers, but he is only a teenager after all.

Since he was a child, Qiao Gusi has treated Chu Jiangliu better, and there is no difference between treating Liu Mengyan and treating strangers, especially before for the sake of Murong Luoluo, Qiao Gusi has been working against Liu Mengyan and did not listen to Liu Mengyan's dissuasion. The Jiang family was afraid that Liu Mengyan would hold a grudge against Liu Mengyan, Chu Jiangliu's grudge would be easy to eliminate, and Liu Mengyan's grudge would not be easy.

One is a son, and the other is a niece who has grown up since she was a child and is getting better and better, Jiang doesn't want to see such a gap between the two and hate each other.

Liu Mengyan wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so she finally had to nod and obey Jiang's wishes.

Qiao Gusi pulled Chu Jiangliu towards the garden of Taishi Mansion, and when he arrived at the garden, he saw that Qiao Gusi was not the only one who wanted to write and paint in the garden, but several young masters and young ladies of Taishi Mansion were there.

Unlike the Zuo Xiangfu, which only has three juniors, there are obviously many people in the younger generation of the Taishi Mansion. In particular, the five young masters of the previous generation of Taishi Mansion are brothers and have always had a harmonious relationship, so in this generation, most of the juniors have a harmonious relationship with each other.

On a sunny day like this, the juniors love to gather in the garden and have a lively atmosphere. Obviously, today's show is pen work.

Then I saw two men and a woman standing in the pavilion, and in the middle of the garden there were several tables, and there were two wonderful women standing there.

Liu Mengyan glanced over, she couldn't tell the difference between these six people, there were too many brothers and sisters in the Taishi Mansion, and she really couldn't remember them.

"Sixth brother, you're back, I've finished writing all these words."

"Isn't this Jiang Liu's cousin, who has grown a lot taller."

"Cousin Jiang Xue, why didn't you come along?"

When Qiao Gusi stepped into the garden with Chu Jiangliu, several people in the garden looked up one after another and vied with each other to speak.

Liu Mengyan, who had just stepped in, was covered by Qiao Gusi and Chu Jiangliu, and when she got closer, those people looked at her again, and greeted her one after another as they did with the arrival of Qiao Gusi and Chu Jiangliu.

Liu Mengyan answered one by one, but in fact, she didn't know anyone.

The Jiang family next to him saw that Liu Mengyan was calling her cousin and cousin by everyone, so she saw through that Liu Mengyan didn't recognize anyone at all, and couldn't help laughing: "Jiang Xue, these three are the daughters of Cui Shangshu's family, not your cousin." ”

Liu Mengyan's smile stiffened, there is not only one Shangshu surnamed Cui in the Manchu Dynasty, and the three girls who dare to love are still the daughters of her boss in the criminal department, and the circle of magnates in Kyoto City is really small.

"Is it okay to call my cousin?" Yoo Mengyan made a joke to ease the embarrassment of calling the wrong person.

"Your sister, you're really not serious." A girl surnamed Cui blushed when Liu Mengyan said it, and said angrily.

"Looks like my cousins aren't that blessed." Liu Mengyan then said with a smile.

"You girl is really interesting, my name is Cui Yingqiu, my eldest sister's name is Cui Yingchun, and my second sister's name is Cui Yingxia, what is your name?" Another girl surnamed Cui spoke generously and smiled kindly at Liu Mengyan.

The three daughters of Cui Shangshu's family feel very sincere, not like some daughters, they seem to be leaky, but they are actually a little fake. Cui Shangshu himself is indeed upright, and his daughters have also developed a temperament that is somewhat similar to him.

"My name is Liu Mengyan." Liu Mengyan replied.

There are really not many people in Kyoto City who don't know the name "Liu Mengyan", and the three sisters of the Cui family immediately became excited when they heard this name.

"Ah, I know! It turns out that you are Liu Mengyan, they all say that you are beautiful now, and it is really true outside! ”

"It turns out that you are Miss Cousin of the Taishi Mansion, and the three of us sisters often come to the Taishi Mansion, but we have never met you once."

"It's better to see than to hear, Miss Chu is really a different person."

The three sisters of the Cui family pulled Liu Mengyan and said a lot of words, but Liu Mengyan was one to three, and she almost couldn't cope with it.

"Okay, it's rare for our cousin to come to the Taishi Mansion once, and the three of you are still bullying her, is this going to be anti-guest?" Qiao Gusi came over and rescued Liu Mengyan from the dire situation.

The three sisters of the Cui family and the three brothers of the Qiao family dispersed and went back to toss their pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Chu Jiangliu was also taken over by Qiao Gusi to polish the ink.

Liu Mengyan calmed down here, so she randomly found a stone bench in the garden and sat down, Jiang also came over and sat next to Liu Mengyan, Jin Ruyu and Fang You could only stand behind, because their current identity was a guard.

Liu Mengyan was idle, and she couldn't help but glance back at Jin Ruyu. She really didn't understand Jin Ruyu, she didn't let go of a good prince, so she had to come and follow her to suffer these crimes, even if she wanted her to change her mind, but Jin Ruyu didn't know how to use some smart methods.

For example, arranging a killer to kill her, and then he jumped out to save the beauty heroically, set fire to the Zuo Xiangfu, and rescued her from the fire. But Jin Ruyu only knows how to pester her, and there are just a few nonsense words to talk about, so she can't be more stupid.

He is also known as the disciple of the old man of Tianji, and what is the ability of an unknown prophet, that ability is estimated to only be shown on the mahjong table.

Jin Ruyu's gaze kept falling behind Liu Mengyan, and when Liu Mengyan turned to look at him, he was naturally the first to notice it, his gaze shifted, and when he met Liu Mengyan's eyes, he saw Liu Mengyan looking at him with a strange look.

"What's so weird?" Jin Ruyu asked directly.

"Nothing." Liu Mengyan shook her head, then turned her head back again, no longer looking at him.

This was Jin Ruyu's turn to feel weird, and just as Jin Ruyu wanted to say another word, Liu Mengyan's sixth cousin Qiao Gusi, who was not far away, had already taken the first step to wave at Liu Mengyan here.

"Cousin Jiang Xue, come over here."

Liu Mengyan got up and walked towards Qiao Gusi, I don't know why Qiao Gusi was looking for her this time. “

As she got closer, Qiao Gusi motioned for her to look down at the table. As soon as Liu Mengyan looked over, she saw that Qiao Gusi's work for a long time was an ink painting, which depicted the scenery of the garden, and most importantly, the woman in the garden.

Qiao Gusi looked at Liu Mengyan expectantly, obviously waiting to hear Liu Mengyan's praise, because the woman in the painting was her. The men and women in the garden, Qiao Gusi didn't paint any of them, but she painted one, Liu Mengyan estimated that it was too troublesome to paint too much, so she saved everyone else.

"The sixth cousin drew so well." Although Qiao Gusi did paint very well, it felt strange to let her praise her own paintings.

"General." Jin Ruyu walked over and glanced at Qiao Gusi's painting, and saw that Qiao Gusi painted Liu Mengyan, so he opened his mouth to comment.

"Tell me, what's wrong with my painting?" Qiao Gusi and Jin Ruyu didn't deal with each other in the first place, so they were naturally dissatisfied that their paintings were evaluated so disdainfully by Jin Ruyu.

"If there is nothing good, this painting can only be called average." Jin Ruyu really didn't mean to damage Qiao Gusi, this painting really didn't look good in his eyes, he was giving a very pertinent evaluation.

Qiao Gusi grew up listening to the praise of "genius" since he was a child, writing and painting is the skill he is famous for, what is the level of painting of this strange mask man, dare to comment on him as a genuine talent.

"If there is no merit in my painting, I would like to see your Excellency paint a wonderful painting." Qiao Gusi asked himself, even if he doesn't talk about artistic conception and other imaginary things, his painting work is always real, how can his paintings not have a good place.

Liu Mengyan believes that Jin Ruyu must be a good painter, after all, he is an omnipotent Jin King, but she is also curious about what kind of painting Jin Ruyu will paint. Like Qiao Gusi, she also wanted to see what kind of things Jin Ruyu could draw by herself.

It's just that Jin Ruyu's answer was disappointing, "I don't paint." ”

"I don't dare to paint, although I say it well, I can't actually paint better paintings than me." Qiao Gusi had to sarcastically say a word to Jin Ruyu.

"Self-deception." Jin Ruyu was indifferent to Qiao Gusi's agitation.

On the other side, the three sisters of the Cui family and the other two young masters of the Qiao family came over with their own works, two characters and four paintings were placed together, and the comparison could be seen from the good and bad, Qiao Gusi was indeed one of the best.

"Earlier, I heard that Miss Chu's painting at the Li family's birthday banquet weighed on the gold and won the first prize, so I've always been curious, why don't Miss Chu let us see your painting today." Cui Yingchun, the eldest sister of the Cui family, suddenly spoke.

The events at the Li family's birthday banquet, although they are not famous, but there are always people in the elite circle who know about it, and this Cui Yingqiu clearly doesn't know that Liu Mengyan relied on tricks to beat everyone at the beginning, and her painting has no merit at all.

"Rumors mislead." Liu Mengyan took out the truth and told it, trying to dispel these people's intentions to ask her to paint.

"Miss Chu is really interesting, I don't know where that painting is at the moment, I really want to take a look." Cui Yingchun said with great interest.

Isn't that painting in Jin Ruyu's hands, what happened to the painting at this time, Liu Mengyan doesn't know.

"It's no longer in my hands, but it's really a painting that can't be put on the table, and it's not worth seeing." Liu Mengyan is not modest, the painting that day was completely opportunistic, just the stickman, a three-year-old child can draw it.

Jin Ruyu, who got the painting in the back, said lightly, "It's true that it can't be on the table, but it's worth seeing, it's much better than this one." ”

The painting that Jin Ruyu compared with Liu Mengyan was naturally Qiao Gusi's painting, Qiao Gusi didn't like Jin Ruyu, and Jin Ruyu didn't like Jin Ruyu. Today is blocked by a mask, and the two can not let anyone quarrel, and it is estimated that they will not be able to fight without a mask.

Liu Mengyan listened to Jin Ruyu's words, and wanted to reward him with the back of the head like shooting Chu Jiangliu, not only to say that Qiao Gusi's painting was ugly, but also to compare her with Qiao Gusi, Jin Ruyu really had nothing to do.

Qiao Gusi was upset when he heard it, but the other party being compared was Liu Mengyan, and he couldn't say anything, Liu Mengyan was upset when he heard it, but he couldn't do anything about Jin Ruyu, and finally Liu Mengyan said, "Xiaoyu, shut your mouth!" ”

Jin Ruyu dared not to speak again, every time he spoke, he was adding to the chaos.

The masked man, who was not called "Xiao Yu" for the second time, opened his mouth and failed to make a sound.

Jin Ruyu shut up, and the world was quiet.
