Chapter 45: Drunk

The mystery of Mu Yan's life experience Old Madam Mu has never mentioned it to outsiders, and even Mu Yan is not very clear about the inside story, and the reason why he knows swordsmanship has not been publicized to the public is because the old lady has repeatedly warned him when she has not yet returned to hiding.

Everyone in the world knows that Prime Minister Mu's Mansion is a scholarly family, and the things related to swords will not be mentioned in Mu Mansion, but even if it was covered up strictly in the past, it finally revealed some clues.

Jiang Liyue stood in front of him with apricot eyes hanging down at the moment, gently biting her red lower lip, looking very docile, seeing that Mu Yan seemed to have no sign of talking, she hurriedly added: "If Yanlang doesn't want to mention it, forget it, in fact, Yue'er just wants to know more about Yanlang, and you and I will get along well in the future." ”

After a while, Mu Yan's expression was very relaxed, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Jiang Liyue: "Actually, I have to talk about this for a few days and nights, but my swordsmanship was indeed taught by my grandmother, but when she taught me, she clearly emphasized that swordsmanship can only be used for self-defense." ”

Jiang Liyue slowly raised her apricot eyes again, and there were layers of ripples in her eyes at this moment because of the unresolved mist: "So that's the case, no wonder all the vacated courtyards have been used to put my dowry, and I happened to see Yan Lang's sword when I got up that day to look for Yujue." ”

This matter had long been expected by him, and he had not planned to hide from her that he knew a little about swordsmanship, but before he could say it, she discovered it first, so he simply sorted out all the ins and outs in advance and told her about it, but he reduced many of the details, and after saying a few words, his eyes fell back on her.

Jiang Liyue was in a hurry to get out of the bath, only wearing a plain middle coat on her body, her long hair had not had time to be taken care of, and it fell on her shoulders scatteredly, and there were still water droplets hanging on the tips of her hair, and the water marks gradually spread on her shoulders, soaking a piece of clothing on her chest, and now the slightly undulating curved silhouette is looming.

Mu Yan's gaze was fixed, although it was not the first time he had seen Jiang Liyue's appearance private, but when he had to enter to give her medicine, the scene he glimpsed appeared in front of him again, and after a while, he looked away in a daze, stared obliquely at a candlestick on the wall, and said: "My hair is still wet, I just had a high fever today, don't get cold because of wet hair again, wipe it off quickly, I have sent someone to call Han Dong to serve, and it should be Hou outside at this time." ”

Seeing Mu Yan turn around and walk out of the bath room quickly, Jiang Liyue couldn't help laughing for a while, Han Dong and Spruce Hou were outside for about half a cup of tea, and neither of the two dared to step forward and knock on the door after pushing for a long time, seeing Mu Yan unfazed from the bath room, the two saluted together, Mu Yan stood at the door of the bath room for a long time, and instructed: "Serve your master well, but you can't get cold anymore." Then he walked faster than when he came out of the bath.

Spruce and Han Dongmian looked at each other for a long time, and entered the bath room nervously, Jiang Liyue happened to be taking a cloth towel to take care of her hair, and when she saw someone, she hurriedly said: "I have some trouble with this hair, you can take care of it for me." ”

Jiang Liyue's little episode this night was digested in just half an hour, and everything became the same as before, and during the days when she stayed in Mu Mansion, she raised some flowers and plants, grabbed some ancient scriptures, and occasionally went to the market to buy some novelties. Only three days later, ushered in the old lady's birthday, Jiang Liyue took advantage of the fact that the sky was not fully bright, and after the spruce served the usual necessary grooming, she finally picked a water red Luo skirt, and the hairpin on the bun was the mutton fat jade that Mu Yan picked for her in the past.

After grooming, Spruce checked Jiang Liyue's outfit and said to Han Dong, who was picking up congratulatory gifts: "I just said that it is good for our county lord to wear some bright colors, but the county lord prefers plain colors. ”

Han Dong took advantage of the gap between picking up the congratulatory gifts and glanced back, and sighed: "The county lord really shouldn't wear some plain colors every day, and it really has a unique charm to wear it with different patterns." ”

Jiang Liyue was picking a hand from the makeup box, and laughed when she heard this: "You two are used to making me happy, but it's just an ordinary dress, hurry up in Handong, we should go early on the old lady's birthday." ”

The old lady's 60th birthday arrived, although she only did it simply, but everyone in the Mu Mansion still began to pick up early in the morning, and the maids and attendants in the house performed their duties and served to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

After picking it up, the carriage that Mu Yan and Jiang Liyue were sitting in swayed across the bluestone road, and stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion when there was only a stick of incense.

It has been more than half a month since the two moved to the new mansion, and in addition to the greetings they often need, Jiang Liyue has not stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time.

It was a sunny day, and when the carriage stopped, she looked out, and under the blue sky, the familiar Prime Minister's Mansion was being lit up at the moment, and several red lanterns outside the door were lined up.

Jiang Liyue let the spruce support her and got out of the carriage, looked around and walked into the mansion with Mu Yanyi.

The birthday banquet for the old lady needs to start at sunset, and the two of them took the lead in visiting Mu Rufeng after entering the Mu Mansion, and then went to Tingxue Garden to greet the Bai family, and finally stopped in the old lady's garden.

When Jiang Liyue entered the garden, the old lady had always sat on the high couch, and when she saw the two of them entering hand in hand, she had a faint smile on her face.

The old lady was silent after asking about the situation after the relocation of the mansion as usual, Jiang Liyue glanced sideways, and the spruce immediately handed over the birthday gift that had been prepared, Jiang Liyue personally presented the birthday gift to the old lady, and said slowly: "I wish my grandmother a long life than Nanshan, and all the best." ”

The old lady glanced at Jiang Liyue, and after signaling the maid beside her to accept the birthday gift, her face was always softened: "If you have a heart, your grandmother has received it." ”

A few people talked about the old days, and the maid passed the legend that Gao came to congratulate the birthday with a pair of children, and on weekdays, she could find a reason to prevaricate in the past, but today, the old lady of Dashou lost those thoughts, and immediately asked the maid to welcome people into the garden.

Aunt Gao didn't know that Jiang Liyue had walked to the old lady's mansion first, and when she entered the garden, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then her brows tightened, and she glanced at Jiang Liyue, and when she turned her gaze to the old lady, she was already very relaxed: "Old lady, today I brought Lan'er and Xiao Ze to congratulate you on your birthday, and I wish you a long and happy life." ”

Aunt Gao has never had much contact with the old lady in the garden, and in the past, when the old lady was not hidden in the garden, she would occasionally meet her, but since she said that she was sick, she had not seen her for a long time, so she was very cautious in everything she did in the garden.

Mu Lan has been a little distressed recently because he has not yet landed, and he was still a little absent-minded before entering the garden, and when he saw Jiang Liyue, his face was clearly a little surprised, and after he sat down, he was bored and played with the Qiang Tao on the plate, and occasionally glanced at Jiang Liyue, if it weren't for the old lady in front, she would have made a move.

After all, before moving the mansion, the family was busy arranging the marriage for her, but as soon as Jiang Liyue moved the mansion, she couldn't even mention half of her status, and she didn't wait for an exact answer until now, and she was a little angry in her heart.

A group of people greeted themselves, until the day was about to sink before the time when they turned to the front hall with the old lady, the front hall has been decorated in advance because of the birthday, and now it looks a little new.

Because of the old lady's birthday, the front hall has gathered a lot of Kyoto families, among which the Duanwang couple and their eldest son were present together, after everyone offered gifts, the banquet officially began, and the field was staggered, Jiang Liyue still drank a few glasses of wine after refusing a few times, not to mention Mu Yan, in the name of his birthday, he came to explore the reality of Mu Mansion and occupied the majority, among which there were many people who wanted to please him, Mu Yan could only respond on his face and prepare to make plans in the future.

It was almost late at night at the end of the birthday banquet, and her eyes were full of stars in the spring night, Jiang Liyue was already slightly drunk when she was carried out of the house by the spruce, and the scene in front of her was a little muddy, she took a deep breath before she barely woke up, and lowered her head to the spruce and asked, "What time is it now?" ”

Spruce and Handong had some difficulty stabilizing Jiang Liyue's body on one side, and Spruce barely took the time to respond: "County Lord, it's the beginning of the year, let's get into the carriage first." ”

In the past, when Jiang Liyue was in Duanwangfu, she only had a dizziness after only half a glass of wine at the beginning, so she was forbidden to drink when she was in Duanwangfu.

After Jiang Liyue was carried into the carriage, he only got into the carriage with half a cup of tea, he was obviously drunk, he looked down at him when he sat beside Jiang Liyue, and leaned against the wall of the car for a long time, seeing Jiang Liyue's head leaning on the wall of the car, his brows were tightly locked, he reached out to take the person into his arms, and rested her head on his shoulder, probably because he had been drunk for a long time, Jiang Liyue was very well-behaved after finding a comfortable posture in a daze.

Until he returned to the house, Mu Yan first sent Jiang Liyue back to the wing, and then went to the bathroom to bathe, after the bath, it was time to extinguish the candle in the house, Yuanqing hurriedly knocked on the door, he quickly tied the strap of the middle coat and opened the door, Yuanqing bluntly said that there was a movement at the other end of the wing, and after inquiring, he found out that it was Mrs. who was drunk for a long time and made a fuss.

Mu Yan quickened his steps and went to the wing, and asked as he walked forward, "Wasn't it good when you went back to the house?" How did he go back to the house and make a fuss. ”

Yuan Qing scratched his head inexplicably: "I heard that the spruce said that the young lady would be like this when she was occasionally drunk, which is rare." ”

Mu Yan shook his head, stopped in front of the side room and tapped his elbow with his hand, and prompted: "In the future, don't let the maids give her wine, she can't eat, and tell the small dining room not to mix wine with the usual pastries and food." ”

Yuan Qing bowed slightly, stood outside the door, and silently recited the words he had just instructed in his mind more than ten times.

As soon as Mu Yanfang entered, he saw that the spruce and Handong were surrounding Jiang Liyue, she was sitting on the edge of the bed with a black green silk, even her feet were shaking very dishonestly, and she muttered: "I'm not sleepy, I'm not sleepy, I can copy a few more scriptures, you all retreat, otherwise you won't blame me for being polite." ”
