Chapter 26: Buying Hearts

Outside the window, the willow tops on the moon, and the sparse stars reflect the bright moonlight, but it is quiet and peaceful.

Mu Xiwan stood in front of the window and pondered for a long time, called Mei'er, and instructed: "You go and prepare two men's clothes, the kind that the son of a rich family usually wears." ”

Men's clothing? What does Miss want to do with this?

Mei'er was a little puzzled, and looked at Mu Xiwan suspiciously, but saw that she was still staring at the night outside in a daze, so she didn't ask much, and retreated to prepare, and brought her clothes over after a while.

After taking the clothes, he took a cursory look at them, nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "What time is it?" ”

"It's already hour." After Mei'er answered, she stared at Mu Xiwan in some surprise, she just went out for a while, and she actually changed her appearance.

"Miss, when did you comb a man's hair?"

"On a whim." Mu Xi sighed a little, pulled Mei'er to the dresser, and took off the hairpin hair ornament a few times.

The little maid exclaimed, and after realizing that she was going to comb her hair, she hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "Miss, no!" ”

"Don't move." Mu Xiwan's voice suddenly deepened, Mei'er was stunned, didn't move again, and was pulled out of the door after she got a man's hairstyle for herself.

"Miss, slow down! You're not completely wounded. Seeing her walking in a hurry, Mei'er was puzzled and still worried about her body, but when she saw her young lady turn around and make a silent movement, she stopped her voice.

Mu Xiwan took Mei'er all the way cautiously and slipped out of the back door, found a place to change into men's clothes, and rushed in the direction of the Drunken Immortal Building.

Looking at the plaque in front of her in a daze, Mei'er was even more puzzled, but she was pushed in by the woman at the door in a daze.

"Oh, this son is a new face, our drunken immortal building is ......" Seeing the newcomer, the old bustard hurriedly walked over in person, looking up and down at Mu Xiwan.

The rich smell of fat powder on her face made Mu Xiwan a little uncomfortable, she frowned slightly, pushed the old bustard away from her without a trace, and threw a money bag over: "I want an elegant room on the third floor, let Miss Qingluan come to serve." ”

was pushed away like this, and the old bustard's face was a little heavy: "Miss Qingluan is our number one here, if the son wants to call her over......"

"If you don't have enough money, add more." Mu Xiwan interrupted her coldly. The old bustard was stunned, then he opened the money bag and looked at it, smiled at a glance, took out the silver in it and bit it, and after confirming that it was true, he hurriedly shouted: "Come on, bring these two distinguished guests to the No. 1 private room on the third floor, and ask Qingluan to accompany them!" ”

"Yes." When she arrived, a servant came over and led the two of them over, and it was not until they entered the room that Mei'er was able to catch her breath and wait quietly.

"Miss, what are we doing here?" Mei'er is still puzzled, she has grown up with Miss since she was a child, and knows that she is by no means the kind of person who is greedy for red dust.

"Naturally, there are very important things to do, and you will know in a moment." After answering Mei'er's doubts, Mu Xiwan sat down at the table and looked at the door quietly.

After a while, I saw a woman push open the door and walk in, she was dressed in a green dress, her eyes were shallow, and her posture was graceful, although she was a woman in the Red Mansion, she was as cold as if she did not eat fireworks in the world, and after seeing the two people standing and sitting behind the table, there was almost no reaction.

She walked to the table and sat opposite Mu Xiwan unhurriedly, her eyes turned on the latter, and her expression was indifferent: "I don't know why the two girls went to great lengths to find me a woman who fell into the dust?" ”

"How does the girl know that we are women?" was seen through the identity at such a glance, and Mu Xiwan looked at Qingluan with interest.

The woman in Tsing Yi chuckled and pointed to her ear.

Mu Xihui was not angry, but picked up the tea on the table and took a sip lightly, and then spoke: "I came here today to be a storyteller and tell a story to the girl." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Although she didn't know what the person in front of her was selling, Qingluan still looked indifferent, she had seen more strange people and strange things in this Drunken Immortal Building, and these few words really couldn't cause waves in her heart.

Mu Xiwan smiled slightly, and slowly told the story she had prepared: "A few years ago, there were two siblings who depended on each other, they lost their parents when they were very young, although they grew up on hundreds of family meals, their lives were passable. It's a pity that a few years after their parents went, there was another famine in their hometown, and they were forced to wander around, and finally came to the capital. ”

The beginning of the story is not attractive, seeing that Qingluan is indifferent, Mu Xiwan continued: "The capital is prosperous, she and the two of them beg every day, do hard labor, and can make a living, but who knows that they met human traffickers, the sister and brother were separated, and the sister was sold several times, and finally settled in a green building, but she never knew the whereabouts of her brother. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Xiwan deliberately paused, took another sip of tea, and raised her eyes to look at the woman in front of her.

Qingluan still looked indifferent and had nothing to do with herself, and when she saw Mu Xiwan stop and look at herself, she said leisurely: "What happened later?" ”

Mu Xiwan hooked her lips, knowing that she had almost laid the ground, so she said: "Actually, my brother's situation is not good, he is beaten and scolded at every turn, and his fists and feet are combined, and even food and clothing are a problem. ”

Hearing this, Qingluan's expression suddenly changed, and she raised her eyes to look at Mu Xiwan fixedly, and when she saw that her eyes were also falling on her, she bit her lip suddenly.

After a moment of silence, she stood up abruptly and knelt down, her voice was urgent, and she judged the fairy who didn't eat fireworks: "I don't know where the girl came from and what happened, but since the girl told this story, it must be my brother's whereabouts, please tell me." ”

On the side, Mei'er looked at Mu Xiwan and Qingluan incredulously, all this development was too sudden, which made her a little unexpected. At the same time, she also silently felt sorry for Mu Xiwan in her heart, if it wasn't for the early death of the general, she should still be a carefree little girl now, not as mature and stable as she is now.

Seeing that everything was under her control, Mu Xiwan squinted her eyes tightly and looked at her: "But why should I tell you?" ”

The woman in Tsing Yi was stunned when she heard this, and sighed slightly: "If you can rescue your brother, I am willing to make a cow and a horse for you, and spend my life to repay the kindness." ”

What I want is this effect, and I sighed in my heart. Qingluan in the previous life, for this reason, was bought by Qi Ke a few years later, used by him, followed him by his side, and naturally knew about it, and in this life, he was seized by himself.

When the goal was achieved, Mu Xiwan stood up and helped Qingluan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said gently: "It's not necessary to be a cow or a horse, but when the time comes to use it in the future, Miss Qingluan should not forget this kindness." ”
