Chapter 366: The Frightened Rabbit
Zhu Gaoxu left the Shen family's mansion and went to the pear orchard near Caihaizi, the process had been thought about in his mind, and it was no different to do it. Only the rain in the sky is lighter, but compared to the storm, this rain curtain is more continuous.
He had been to Liyuan many times, and when he came to this place again after a year, he felt that nothing had changed, and there seemed to be something different. Maybe it's a different state of mind?
Zhu Gaoxu came to the house next to the pond, and when he opened the back door, he could see the pond, the willow trees, and most of the garden.
The kung fu tea utensils on the marble coffee table, he had no intention of fiddling with them, and his mood at the moment was very impetuous.
I don't know how long I waited, the door "tuk tuk" sounded, and Zhu Gaoxu said: "The door is hidden." ”
Then the wooden door was pushed open, Li Lou stood at the door first, first curtsied to Zhu Gaoxu, turned his head to look behind him, and said, "Your Highness, Miss Mu has arrived." ”
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that Chen Xingwang's relics and the flute seemed to be still in the package of the empty restaurant, so he didn't mention it for the time being.
At this time, Mu Zhen had already walked into the door with her head down, and she immediately glanced up at Zhu Gaoxu, as if she was sure that it was him, and there was a long sigh of relief.
"Crunch!" The wooden door knocked softly, and Mu Zhen turned her head a little nervously to look at the closed door.
Perhaps for the convenience of going out, Mu Zhen is still wearing a narrow cyan robe today, with a bun on her head, a dark mesh scarf, and no accessories on her body. On her beautiful peachy face, her delicate facial features look more and more beautiful, and her little face seems to have been carefully retouched, but today's dress of a woman dressed as a man actually does not have a trace of pink; The figure also seems to be more delicate, and the chest and hips are more rounded.
Maybe the seventeen or eighteen-year-old lady has changed very quickly, or maybe because Zhu Gaoxu heard about her heart in Annan, Zhu Gaoxu's feelings when he saw her today are different from many times before.
"King Han has finally returned. When I heard about the King of Han in Beijing, my father was very worried about you. Mu Zhen said.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Aren't you worried about me? ”
Mu Zhen's face turned red when she heard this, and she lowered her head and didn't say anything.
For a while, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little shameless, like a person who was in a panic, and like a drowning person who wanted to reach out and grab everything. And the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing for him all of a sudden, but he wasn't like that.
Those emotions and throbs that are difficult to capture seem to only happen inadvertently, and the more you carve them, the more unattainable they become?
He exhaled, cheekily and pretended to be very casual, pointed to the chair next to a few cases and said, "Miss Mu come and sit." ”
"King Xie Han." Mu Zhen gently hugged her fists. She cautiously walked over and sat down in a seat across an empty chair, her hips only a little lower, and she seemed to be getting more and more nervous.
Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his broad forehead and said, "When we meet again today, I think you are different." ”
Mu Zhen was silent for a while, and finally asked curiously, "What's the difference?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I can't say it, maybe I didn't know your heart well before." ”
He carefully got up and moved to the empty chair in the middle. Mu Zhen was like a timid white rabbit, her buttocks had been slightly lifted from the chair, as if she would be scared away at any time.
"Sit, sit." Zhu Gaoxu didn't make any other moves, pretending to be calm, "You speak quietly, I want to hear it clearly." ”
I don't know what's going on, Mu Zhen is very nervous today. Her voice and movements were so stiff that she didn't even dare to look at Zhu Gaoxu; So Zhu Gaoxu really couldn't figure out what she was thinking at this time. And he has never trusted the teenage ladies very much, and feels that their hearts are as unpredictable as the May sky.
But he thought about it again, since Mu Zhen was able to sneak out without permission, and was willing to be in the same room with him alone, could it be judged that her heart might not have changed much?
Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking and began to silently tinker with the kung fu tea on the coffee table.
Mu Zhen was also silent, her fingers tightly pinched the robe material on her legs, quietly kneading it repeatedly, the originally ironed cloth had many small wrinkles, and the legs under the robe were tightly together, as if she was holding on to something very hard.
Zhu Gaoxu occasionally turned his head to look, and Mu Zhen waited for him to retract his gaze, and also looked at him sideways. Embarrassed and deliberate, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have nothing to say.
When he glanced at it, the delicate jade white skin and the black and shiny hair still remained; There is a hint of a faint fragrance in the nose. The young lady who has not been ordained, her skin is full of elasticity and delicacy, as if she is exuding an indescribable warmth.
In any case, Zhu Gaoxu has gambled on his wealth many times, and he has seen the sword and sword shadow on the battlefield that is a little slower than a beat, and he is about to cut down on himself. In this situation, of course, he was not as nervous as Mu Zhen.
The steady big hands, fiddling with the petite kung fu tea cup, are a little weird, but very light.
"Every time I come to the pear orchard, I secretly look forward to seeing Miss Mu, even if I only see it once." Zhu Gaoxu said as if talking to himself.
He said and looked into the middle of the room. After a while, when she turned her head to look at Mu Zhen, Mu Zhen's face was already flushed, and she looked like she wanted to hide. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu remembered that the last time Mu Zhen wanted to save her father's "deal", she was standing in this room. The sight of her clothes slipping off her body is vivid.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked helpless, put the kung fu tea set on a few cases, and didn't know how to continue.
At this moment, it is like a pen pal who has been corresponding for many years, and they have already expressed their hearts to each other in the letter, but they suddenly meet, but they don't know how to start. All that remains is strangeness, embarrassment, and tension, and the face-to-face relationship is completely different from those thoughts.
Zhu Gaoxu wanted to please the seventeen or eighteen-year-old lady in front of him, but it didn't seem to be good. Maybe he's not in that mood at the moment? The tiredness brought by the nightmares that he was tired but couldn't sleep brought made him unable to concentrate.
But it seems that the play should be played out. Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and turned his head. At this time, Mu Zhen also happened to turn her head and open her mouth to say something, seeing Zhu Gaoxu's appearance, she closed her mouth again, her eyes looked at him, and seemed to be waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to speak.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I just returned to Yunnan, and the person I want to see the most is Miss Mu......
At this moment, Mu Zhen took a long breath and suddenly said, "Does King Han want me to persuade my father?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment.
Mu Zhen said softly: "King Han said that he didn't understand my heart before, but now it's the same." ”
Zhu Gaoxu felt a little unbearable on his face, but said calmly: "Then I hope I can understand in the future, if there is a chance." ”
Mu Zhen said: "What does King Han want me to do?" ”
"Will you help me?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
The embarrassment on Zhu Gaoxu's face that could not be concealed seemed to make Mu Zhen less nervous, she even showed a smile and nodded vigorously: "Hmm! ”
In those clear and bright big eyes, the smile is still so true, still so pure, like a hundred flowers blooming in the breeze in spring.
Zhu Gaoxu sighed, observed Mu Zhen's expression for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Hu Guang will meet with Xiping Hou in a few days, you try to listen to what Hu Guang has to say, and then tell me, what?" ”
Mu Zhen said: "I'll do my best." ”
Zhu Gaoxu stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Miss Mu, don't say goodbye today." ”
"King Han!" Mu Zhen suddenly called.
Zhu Gaoxu turned around and said, "What?" ”
Mu Zhen hesitated and said, "What you just said to me, is it true or false?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment, he said a lot of things just now. What Mu Zhen asked may be the most explicit sentence like "I want to see you every time, even if it's just a glance", but it's not necessarily.
He said in his heart: Even if Mu Zhen didn't show his heart, because he accidentally looked at her body that time, after all, she was a very beautiful little girl, how many times did he fantasize about it, or because of desire?
"When there's no need to lie, I'm a man who usually tells the truth." Zhu Gaoxu said.
Mu Zhen said seriously: "If you can still help King Han, you can just speak." As long as I'm not sorry for the Mu family, I'm willing to do it for you! ”
Zhu Gaoxu was a lot more casual at this time, and his tone became gentle and calm, "Miss Mu's kindness, I will never forget it." ”
Mu Zhen said again: "King Han has the people of the world in his heart, but my father ......"
"I know." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Maybe I shouldn't have come to see you today." ”
He walked out of the house, put his big hat on top of his head, reached out and pressed down, lowered the brim of his hat to cover most of his face, and walked along the corridor towards the door of Shen Yuan.
The cold rain outside the corridor was pouring non-stop, and Zhu Gaoxu's heart was also shrouded in a coldness. Sure enough, everyone was not optimistic about him, including Mu Sheng and Mu Zhen.
However, at this time, he did not have the qualifications to be depressed and afraid, because he knew deep down that he had no way to retreat, and he had the illusion of peace, and he could only be calmly laughed at by his opponent.
There are too many fears and unfavorable signals in the world that can make people despair and waver. Only by trying to get rid of the useless sadness in my heart and stick to my goal! Victory belongs only to such people.
Zhu Gaoxu stopped, walked into the rain, looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth hard, and the muscles and flesh of his cheeks suddenly tensed.
Victory! As long as there are one or two big victories, the world can see with their own eyes, and I, Zhu Gaoxu, are not without a little chance!
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu found that Mu Zhen also walked out of the house, but she didn't come, just stood by the wall from afar, silently staring at him in the rain.
Zhu Gaoxu returned to the corridor, waved his hand to Mu Zhen again, walked out of Shen Yuan quickly, and jumped straight into the felt car guarded by Wei Da.
