Xu Mingzhu came very suddenly, and this was her first visit to Dongyang.

Living in the same village, the two women basically don't go out much, and they can't talk about looking up and looking down, not to mention, there is a man between the two women, one of them is a nameless and undivided first, and the other is a famous and divided latecomer, there is such an indescribable complex relationship, Dongyang and Xu Mingzhu have known each other for several years, and today is the first time they have taken the initiative to meet each other.

For Xu Mingzhu's visit, Dongyang behaved very formally, she never applied fat powder, but today she also lightly spread a layer of light makeup on her face, carefully painted her lips, and pasted a bright red diamond-shaped flower in the middle of her eyebrows, and her hair was also combed high, and it was pulled into a popular high-cloud bun for women in the Tang Dynasty.

After dressing up, the indisputable Xuanhui Xiaodao Gu instantly became Her Royal Highness the Tang Princess Bai Fumei, even if she was still standing quietly in front of the bronze mirror with her eyelids down, she still exuded a faint princess majesty, which made people dare not look directly.

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, the corners of Dongyang's mouth hooked, revealing a satisfied smile.

Lu Liu watched quietly beside him, and suddenly smiled: "Your Highness, if you draw your eyebrows again, it will be more beautiful, and if you raise your eyebrows a little more, it will make your eyes appear bigger......"

Dongyang pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head and said: "It's not proper, if the eyebrows are raised, the face is too sharp, not only rude, but also easy to make people feel alienated." ”

Green Willow blinked: "But, today's guests...... It's Marquis Li's wife, isn't it good for His Royal Highness to pretend to be a little more aggressive in front of her? She won't dare to bully you in the future. ”

Dongyang turned his head and stared at her funny: "Why do I have to compete with her?" Green willow, you remember, the real high, is in his heart. Instead of relying on the fight between women, the more I fight with Mrs. Li, the lower the position of me and her in Li Su's heart will be, even if we win or lose? Am I higher in his heart? This is the next step, and it is not advisable. ”

Youyou sighed, and Dongyang said in a low voice: "Actually." I don't have to fight with her at all, she is the eldest lady of the Li family, and this alone will make me lose completely......"

*********************************************************************

Xu Mingzhu stood in front of the door of the Taoist temple and looked at the lintel of the Taoist temple curiously.

The gate of the Taoist temple was closed, and two rows of armored guards outside the door were swinging open, standing without squinting.

In the middle of the door of the Taoist temple, there is a huge copper incense burner, and the incense in the furnace rises in a curling manner. When you smell it, you have an ethereal feeling of being out of the world and being out of the square.

The corners of Xu Mingzhu's lips hooked lightly and smiled quietly.

Outside the square, with her heart in the red dust, Her Royal Highness the princess ...... But it's not easy.

didn't wait long, the middle door of the Taoist temple suddenly opened, and Dongyang, who was dressed in palace clothes, greeted him in person, and the two rows of guards outside the door were stunned. Then immediately bow with a sword.

Xu Mingzhu was also stunned for a moment.

Such a grand welcome ceremony is really a bit excessive.

As everyone knows. Whether it is the middle gate of a large family or the mountain gate of a temple or a Taoist temple, it will not be easily opened, unless something major happens, such as the emperor's decree, the head of the family marries a relative, or the direct elder dies. This will open the middle door to enter and exit, no matter any guest comes to the door on weekdays, it is generally to open the side door, which is the etiquette rule of the world.

But at this moment today, Dongyang is in order to welcome Xu Mingzhu. actually opened the middle door of the Taoist temple, which shows Xu Mingzhu's status in Dongyang's heart.

The two daughters are both smart women, Xu Mingzhu saw Dongyang's grand greeting ceremony, and after being stunned for a short time, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then showed a bright smile towards Dongyang.

Looking at Dongyang's dress and pretty face today, it is obvious that he was deliberately dressed up just now, and the taste in Xu Mingzhu's heart became more and more complicated.

"Mrs. Li is here, and she is not welcomed, so I don't want to be surprised." Dongyang Weiren laughed first, walked in front of Xu Mingzhu as he spoke, and naturally stretched out his hand and held Xu Mingzhu's slender wrist.

Xu Mingzhu didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly bowed to Dongyang: "Lady Li Xu, meet ......"

Before she finished her words and the ceremony was not finished, Dongyang held her arm in time and interrupted her.

"It's not interesting to be a close neighbor for many years, and it's not interesting to do these false courtesies, is Mrs. Li deliberately alienating me?" Dongyang's smile became more and more intense, and his tone was a little resentful.

Xu Mingzhu also smiled: "It is a blessing for the Li family to be a close neighbor with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The two daughters looked at each other and smiled, and then Dongyang and Xu Mingzhu held hands and entered the door together, affectionate like two sisters.

…………

The side hall was seated, Dongyang personally made a pot of tea for Xu Mingzhu, and the boiling water was poured into the exquisite new porcelain teapot, and the hall was filled with an attractive aroma.

Xu Mingzhu blinked and said with a smile: "This tea...... It's quite familiar, could it be the roasted tea made by my husband? ”

Dongyang nodded and said, "Yes, it was made by Li Xianhou, and a new batch was made before winter, and I gave me a few catties." ”

Xu Mingzhu said: "The husband is a capable person, whether it is governing the country or poetry, everything he says and does is above the world, but this fried tea ......"

Xu Mingzhu smiled and sighed: "This fried tea has taught the husband to hit the nail hard, and it doesn't seem to be liked by the world after it is made, only Uncle Cheng drank it, and it made a big disaster, Her Royal Highness the princess seems to be quite fond of this tea, somehow?" ”

Dongyang raised his sleeves to cover his lips and chuckled: "The tea made by Li Xianhou actually tastes very good, but his brewing method is wrong, the first few times I saw him drink this tea, often a large handful of tea leaves are thrown in, brewed out naturally bitter and astringent, and there is no aftertaste, my taste has always been light, a few days ago I tried to take only a handful, after brewing boiling water, the room is full of fragrance, after drinking, the lips and teeth are fragrant, the aftertaste is endless, only then did I realize that this tea is an elegant and wonderful thing, it is really wonderful, if Mrs. Li does not believe it, you might as well try it?" ”

Xu Mingzhu said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess of the Sect smiled, this thing is wonderful, but even I don't know much, so let's try it." ”

Dongyang then took the pot and poured a cup of tea for Xu Mingzhu, and brought it to Xu Mingzhu with one hand, and suddenly he didn't know what he thought, and the action of holding the cup with one hand suddenly stagnated, and then turned into holding it in front of Xu Mingzhu with both hands.

Xu Mingzhu was slightly startled, hurriedly got up, and respectfully took the teacup.

The eyes of the two girls met in the air, each shining with a meaningful light.

A simple gesture of handing a cup, it seems to express a lot of meaning, everything is in plain sight.

Xu Mingzhu's red lips approached the rim of the cup and took a sip carefully, the unnatural expression on her face was hidden by the white mist of the teacup, and when she put down the teacup, her expression had returned to normal.

"It really tastes different, it is indeed an elegant and wonderful thing, although this thing is made by my husband, I am afraid that even he doesn't know what it is, and wasted so many tea leaves for no reason, but made a layman who chews peonies......"

Xu Mingzhu's words are not against his heart, he is indeed sincere, and the more he says, the brighter his eyes are: "This year, my husband was given a lot of good land by His Majesty, and there are two mountains, I don't know what to plant, in the future, I can order the village to plant tea trees on the mountain, and there is an output every year, and the husband will fry the tea again, this thing may be implemented in Chang'an or even Guanzhong, the Li family is inconvenient to do business, but my father is no problem, and the family also has one more entry......"

The more she talked, the more excited she became, Xu Mingzhu suddenly saw Dongyang looking at her quietly with a smile, so her voice froze, and she suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"In front of His Highness, it is rude to talk about these unworthy businessmen." Xu Mingzhu blushed and apologized.

Dongyang shook his head, and suddenly sneered: "Mrs. Li's apology is unreasonable, your husband loves money like life, and saved my life from the wicked man's knife back then, but afterwards he actually made a list, writing down the process of saving me clearly, and every action was converted into money, so angry that he wanted to ask the guards to arrest him into the princess's mansion and hang him and beat him...... Compared to your husband's eating appearance, Mrs. Li is already very gentle. ”

Xu Mingzhu's pretty face became more and more red, only to feel that there was no light on her face, and then she thought about it, Her Royal Highness the princess in front of her is not an outsider, her relationship with her husband is known to the world, this is just her family closing the door and talking about her family in private, thinking of this, Xu Mingzhu was immediately relieved, so she also laughed.

"Husband, he ...... I really don't know how to have an idea, obviously a skill, but I care about silver and mundane things, the husband of the treasury at home has to go in every day to count it, and it is common for the husband to hold a bunch of silver cakes in the treasury and look stupid and happy, which really makes people cry and laugh......

After speaking, the two girls glanced at each other, and then laughed out loud regardless of manners, the laughter became louder and louder, and the previous slight estrangement disappeared inexplicably, and when the laughter stopped, the two girls looked at each other again, this time with a little more intimacy in their eyes.

Compared with the last Mid-Autumn Festival meeting of the two daughters in Qujiang Garden, this time Xu Mingzhu took the initiative to come to the door as the eldest lady of the Li family, which is of greater significance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Mingzhu is an ice-breaking trip in the real sense this time.

She and her, the only intersection and the only bond in this life, is only Li Su.

The second daughter laughed for a while, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Dongyang didn't know the intention of Xu Mingzhu's visit today, but she knew very well that as the so-called "nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace", Xu Mingzhu would not come to see her for no reason, and she would eventually get down to business.

"Last time, a thief entered Taiping Village to assassinate Uncle Li, I don't know if Uncle Li is okay now?" Dongyang asked tentatively.

Xu Mingzhu sighed, and her pretty face appeared gloomy: "Fortunately, the loyal and righteous tribes in the family are desperately protecting each other, and the family is safe." ”

Dongyang then asked: "Can the real murderer behind the scenes be found?" ”

Xu Mingzhu pursed his lips and was silent for a long time, Dongyang couldn't help but wonder when he saw this, so he asked repeatedly, Xu Mingzhu said in a low voice: "I'm just a woman's family, I don't know how many connections my husband has launched these days, yesterday there was news from Chang'an City, it is said that the real murderer behind the scenes...... It's the King of Qi. ”
