Chapter 0012: Water, Fish, Lotus
The Qinhuai Night Tower defeated the Turks today, and it also established the position of the Night Tower on the first floor of the Qinhuai River. The Celestial Empire also has an additional talent named Wu Liao.
"Brother Jue, where did you go just now, it's just that you are not blessed, just now the night tower sang a big play, the song of long hatred, you know, someone actually composed a song for the song of long hatred successfully, and sang it, and what is even more exciting is that the person who sang the song was actually a man named Wu Liao. You don't know that the Turks also came to stir up trouble today, but they were just boring for themselves, and they lost 20,000 taels of silver in vain, hahahaha......"
Qian Kai eyebrows fluttered to describe what he had just seen. Fang Jue didn't have a mask at the moment, of course he wouldn't have thought that person was Fang Jue. Even if Fang Jue admits it at this moment, I'm afraid Qian Kai won't believe it, with his understanding of Fang Jue, there are only four words, how is it possible.
Fang Jue just smiled slightly, which was a response, but Qian Kai still wanted to know where Fang Jue had just gone, Fang Jue just smiled weakly and replied: "Brother Kai, you know." ”
Qian Kai was very happy, so he invited Fang Jue to have lunch in the night building, and then listened to some small songs, and the two went home separately.
Along the way, of course, what Fang Jue heard the most was the story of the song of long hatred, he didn't expect to become a celebrity so soon, but unfortunately he couldn't enjoy the glory of being worshipped, because he was Fang Jue, and he was still the eldest young master of Fang Mansion who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.
When Fang Jue returned to Fang's mansion, it was already sunset. Fang Jue did not go back to his courtyard, but went directly to the Fang Mansion Library.
Just as he was passing by a pool in Fangfu, he heard a plopping sound, followed by a woman's cry for help from Liu.
This is the backyard of Fangfu, and no one usually lives there, so there are very few maids passing by. Fang Jue hurriedly ran over, but saw a woman struggling and fluttering in the water.
Fang Jue jumped, the water in this pool was very deep, there was more than one person high, if he couldn't swim, he would basically die. Fang Jue picked up the woman, only to find out that this was not the Mu Dongge in the fourth lady Qian Ke's mouth.
Mu Dongge didn't know if he was too frightened or choked by the water. His face was pale, Fang Jue was tempted, and he was out of breath. At this moment, several Fangfu ladies appeared at the scene of the crime with their respective maids, showing panic.
It is not difficult for Fang Jue to guess how a good person could fall into the water, it must have something to do with these stepmothers. It's important to save people, and Fang Jue can't care so much. The memory of his dream made him make a bold move, Fang Jue pressed Mu Dongge's abdomen with his hand. This action made the ladies and maids present stunned, what is this Young Master Fang Jue doing, touching the belly of the girl's house in front of so many people.
Fang Jue saw that it had no effect, so he bent down, broke Mu Dongge's mouth with his hand, and then pasted his two lips on. It's terrible now, they all thought that Mu Dongge was dead, and Fang Jue was desecrating the corpse. They all let out incredulity and screams, staring at the scene in front of them with wide eyes, but shyly.
Fang Jue tossed back and forth, and finally had an effect. Mu Dongge choked a few mouthfuls of water, opened his eyes, and saw Fang Jue pressing his lips against his lips. Even if Mu Dongge doesn't want to die, he still wants to die at this moment.
Fang Jue seemed to expect Mu Dongge's aggressive behavior, so he grabbed Mu Dongge's hand waving to his cheek.
"Girl, you're awake."
Fang Jue was happy that his efforts had paid off, but he forgot how unreasonable it was for him to kiss a woman in front of everyone.
"Shameless..."
Mu Dongge wanted to get up, but suddenly he had no strength, so he could only curl up aggrievedly, and his clothes were also pulled apart by Fang Jue.
The ladies and maids on the side opened their eyes even more, what is the situation, isn't it dead, how come they came to life after a few kisses, this is okay, plus they heard the news of Fang Jue's death before, and they suddenly came back to life. Could it be that Fang Jue, the young master of Fang Mansion, is not a person at all. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, especially the fourth lady Qian Ke, who was the culprit who let Mu Dongge fall into the water.
Mu Dongge was helped back to the courtyard prepared for her by the dialect by the two maids. Mu Dongge knew who pushed her into the water, but it didn't matter, what she hated most at the moment was Fang Jue who saved her, because Fang Jue ruined her innocence, or in front of everyone. Since the Mu family was destroyed, Mu Dongge wanted to die in the past, but she was unwilling to think that the enemy had not yet been avenged. Although he was reduced to a slave, he was innocent. But unfortunately she was bought and given to Fang Yan, so she was exiled to Fang Mansion, she wanted to find a chance to leave, but she didn't expect this to happen first.
Fang Jue felt that it was nothing, no innocence was more precious than life. Fang Jue's news of Mu Dongge spread in the Fang Mansion, and naturally it also reached Fang Yan's ears.
Fang Yan was already suspicious of the mystery of Mu Dongge's life experience, and after sending someone to investigate, he found out that Mu Dongge was Mu Baixin's daughter, and after the crime, Fang Yan was also very cautious, so he didn't plan to make Mu Dongge a concubine at all, but he felt that it was useful to keep it. Because he saw that Mu Baixin was killed, and there was a secret that he was interested in behind it.
"Do you know who she is?"
Fang Jue thought that Fang Yan would be angry that he moved his woman, but he didn't expect that Fang Yan was not angry at all.
"She is the daughter of Mu Baixin, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, who committed the crime of rebellion, and was killed before the truth was found. This Mu Dongge was punished as a slave, and in the end he was still a criminal minister. I've kept her for some other purpose, you..."
The meaning of the dialect is obvious, and Fang Jue is warned not to have anything to do with Mu Dongge, Mu Dongge is just a chess piece.
Since Fang Jue did artificial respiration for Mu Dongge, he always had the picture of Mu Dongge blushing with shame in his mind.
"Color is emptiness, emptiness is color..."
Fang Jue tried not to think about it, but the more he thought about it.
"Young Master, where are you going?"
Since the Fang Mansion has regained its scenery, the identity of the maid Li'er has also become important, after all, Li'er and the Fang Mansion have shared hardships and hardships. However, Li'er has no ambitions, she just wants to serve Fang Jue well. However, the moment Li'er saw Fang Jue kissing Mu Dongge, she didn't feel good in her heart.
Fang Jue was stopped by Li'er, this was the only maid in the Fang Mansion who dared to ask where Fang Jue went.
"Miss Mu didn't eat all day, she just sat alone and didn't pay attention to anyone."
Fang Jue wanted to say that he should persuade himself, but Lian'er said again. "Young master, don't go, I'm afraid Miss Mu doesn't want to see you the most, if you go, she is likely to find a short time again."
"Huh?"
When Fang Jue heard the short-sightedness, he didn't expect that after a criminal minister, an art slave who had no freedom would be so high. Didn't you just kiss a few mouthfuls, and it was to save her, is it necessary to be so careful?
"Li'er, if I kiss you, won't you think about it?"
"Huh?"
Fang Jue wanted to empathize, but he was startled. Fang Jue felt a little redundant at this time, what does a little maid know. "Forget it, you can go back."
Li'er looked at Fang Jue's back, her cheeks were rosy, but she watched Fang Jue walk towards Mu Dongge's courtyard blankly.
In the backyard of Fang's mansion, the gate was closed, and several maids were walking around a little sneakily, and when they saw Fang Jue coming, they all avoided in panic.
Fang Jue gently pushed open the backyard door, but before entering, he put on the mask. Fang Jue came to the door of Mu Dongge's room very carefully and sat in the east corridor. Mu Dongge's room was quiet. Fang Jue began to hum a tune in his mouth.
"Chang'an rain, autumn overnight, thousands of miles away, the wind blows the guest clothes...... Twenty-three strings are urgent, and the falling flowers are independent, only this song can send their hearts...... Knowing the heart is thin, who will listen to the broken strings...... The sheng song is gone, and the people disperse. ”
A song of Shuangsheng sounded fluttering in the backyard of Fang's mansion, Fang Jue didn't hear any reaction from Mu Dongge's room, maybe Mu Dongge didn't like to listen to such songs in the first place. Fang Jue left a little disappointed.
"Squeak..."Mu Dongge's door suddenly opened.
Fang Jue turned around, looking at each other. Fang Jue was dressed plainly and wore a mask, Mu Dongge couldn't guess that the person in front of him was the person he had ever dreamed of killing.
"Who are you?"
Mu Dongge was very calm at the moment, without a look of wanting to die or live, but he looked a little thin, and his red and swollen eyes looked a little pitiful.
Fang Jue didn't expect that the first sentence Mu Dongge asked himself was this sentence, Fang Jue almost blurted out, I am Fang Jue, the eldest young master of the Fang Mansion.
"My name is Wu Liao."
"Bored? Is there such a boring name? ”
Mu Dongge actually smiled, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, but she was so good-looking when she smiled at dusk.
"Wu of Wu State, chatting about chat."
Fang Jue also smiled, but he was still wearing a mask, and Mu Dongge couldn't see the joy on Fang Jue's face.
"It's a little strange that you sing, but it's good. Why are you wearing a mask? ”
Mu Dongge looked at Fang Jue with some doubts, and some eager eyes, hoping that Fang Jue could take off the mask, let her see if she could sing such a beautiful song, what kind of person she looked like, she had learned a lot of repertoire and heard a lot of tunes in the year she was a slave, and she had never heard a song like Fang Jue, so she was a little curious.
Fang Jue also saw Mu Dongge's curious eyes, but the mask could not be taken off.
"Thank you for the compliment, I'm afraid to scare you, girl. My face is ugly, I'm just a member of the Fang Mansion, and I snorted casually. ”
When she heard this, Mu Dongge began to be silent, she seemed to be recalling something.
"May I ask why the girl is staying here?" Fang Jue deliberately pretended not to know.
"I..."
Mu Dongge was obviously a little vigilant, she felt that she didn't need to tell the person in front of her, she just smiled coldly, and then walked to the covered bridge.
"Today's sunset is so beautiful, you see that sky like a fire in the plain, it is the sun that is telling him, he has been busy all day, fortunately, someone is willing to go out to see himself."
"The sun still talks?"
"Absolutely."
Mu Dongge reacted for a while, and then realized that the person named Wu Liao in front of him was talking about himself. Because I haven't been out of the room for a day.
"You're so weird."
"There's something wrong with me."
Mu Dongge was silent for a while, his eyes blinking in the setting sun.
"It's not surprising that it's just the old convention, singing the songs that everyone is singing and saying what everyone is saying. I'm sorry, I can't do it, I only sing songs that I think are good, say what I like to say, flattery will be very tiring after a long time, and if I say too many words of praise, it will seem very fake. As for myself under the mask......"
"I'm sorry, but in fact, you look good with a mask, you won't let others know your joys and sorrows, you can laugh when you want, and you don't have to pay attention to other people's eyes."
"If only I had a mask, too."
"If the girl likes it, I happen to have another one in my room, and I'll bring it to the girl tomorrow."
Fang Jue looked at Mu Dongge's expression and suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Will you come again tomorrow?"
"Of course I will come, if I don't come to clean, the housekeeper of the Fang Mansion will punish me."
"Then why don't you clean up today, and you won't be punished when you go back later?"
Fang Jue looked at Mu Dongge not like he hated it, but more like he cared about it. Fang Jue then picked up the broom and began to sweep it up from the middle of the yard.
Mu Dongge just stood silently on the covered bridge and watched the sunset slowly sink in the west, occasionally looking at Fang Jue who was sweeping the floor.
Fang Jue realized that the backyard is so big, and it is hard enough to sweep the floor every day. But there was no way, the words had already come out, and Mu Dongge on the side was still looking at himself. Just after sweeping the ground, Fang Jue was covered in sweat.
The sunset has long since fallen behind the mountain, a bright moon gradually rises, and the courtyards of the Fang Mansion also light up candles one after another, but only the backyard, an all-natural light, only relying on the light of the moon, can see things clearly.
"Girl, why don't you light the lamp?"
Fang Jue asked Mu Dongge a little strangely, could it be that Mu Dongge couldn't light the lamp, or there were no candles in the backyard at all.
"They're afraid I'll see you short."
Mu Dongge said with a wry smile.
"It's not too early, maybe you should go back."
Mu Dongge seemed to be giving an eviction order, but his tone was very peaceful.
"Okay, girl, you can rest early."
Fang Jue had no choice but to reluctantly leave the backyard, and seeing that Mu Dongge had no thoughts of suicide, Fang Jue was relieved.
As soon as Fang Jue came out of the backyard, he saw a maid sneakily hiding in a corner. Taking advantage of the moonlight, Fang Jue could still tell that this person was the maid Butterfly.
"What are you doing here?"
"Young Master, Die'er... I'm here to bring dinner to Miss Mu. ”
Die'er is a new maid in Fangfu, and she also delivered food to Fang Jue. replied with some trepidation, but didn't dare to look at Fang Jue.
Fang Jue took advantage of the moonlight to open the food box, a plate of green vegetables, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of vegetarian soup.
"This is dinner for Miss Mu?"
Fang Jue felt that this kind of meal was too bad, there was no oily smell, so it was not good.
Die'er listened to Fang Jue's somewhat unhappy tone, and her hands holding the food box began to tremble.
"Why is the food cold, how can I eat this?"
Fang Jue felt the food with his hands, there was no heat, why was the maid of Fangfu so cruel, she gave Mu Dongge such a bad meal, and it was cold.
The maid Die'er was a little scared, and even more aggrieved, if she hadn't found out that Fang Jue was still in the backyard, she would have gone in to deliver the meal, and she didn't have to wait here for almost an hour, for so long, of course the food would have been cold. Fang Jue is the eldest young master, as long as he returns to the room, there will be hot dishes and hot meals delivered at any time.
"The young master spares his life, the slave knows his mistake, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"The slave saw that the young master was inside, so she didn't dare to rush in, so she waited outside for the young master to come out and send it to Miss Mu."
The maid Butterfly had already knelt on the ground in fear, and then said resignedly.
Only then did Fang Jue realize that the mistake was to blame the maid Die'er, but fortunately, the maid Die'er did not break into the backyard, and when the time came, Die'er called herself Young Master, it would be terrible, and Mu Dongge had to be scared out again.
"Get up, I'm wrong about you."
"Slaves don't dare."
When Die'er heard that Fang Jue actually admitted her mistake to herself, where could her little heart bear such a surprise, but she became even more panicked.
"Remember not to mention me in front of Miss Mu in the future, it's best not to say anything, otherwise I'll be angry."
Fang Jue said plainly, but the maid Die'er listened like a thunderbolt, Fang Jue's sentence I want to be angry, like a holy decree, how dare Die'er disobey.
"You go back and make something delicious to send to Miss Mu, such as Shiquan Black Chicken Soup."
"Back to the young master, Miss Mu likes to be a vegetarian, last time the slave maid sent some meaty dishes to Miss Mu, but Miss Mu didn't eat a bite."
Die'er could feel that Fang Jue still cared a little about Mu Dongge in the backyard, but Die'er would not change Fang Jue's image cognition. Before she came to Fang Mansion, she had heard of Young Master Fang Jue's character, who was moody and often punished people.
Fang Jue heard Die'er say that Mu Dongge likes to be a vegetarian, so he didn't embarrass Die'er, but just asked Die'er to go back and make a new one to send it, no, it is to make two copies, and it should be exactly the same, and then send one to his room.
The maid in the kitchen of Die'er Fangfu, in addition to serving the masters, is also responsible for delivering meals to Mu Dongge in the backyard. Die'er's craftsmanship is also very good, and the meals given to Mu Dongge are all made by her.
In less than half an hour, a few dishes of vegetarian dishes were first brought to Fang Jue's room, Fang Jue ate with relish, but thought of Mu Dongge in the backyard, eating the meal elegantly like a lady. He suddenly remembered that there was no candle lighting in the backyard, and Mu Dongge had the question of how to eat, so he hurriedly called Li'er again and ordered someone to send some candle lighting to Mu Dongge in the backyard.
The maids of the Fang Mansion seem to like to talk about their masters behind their backs, especially the eldest young master Fang Jue, which is already the most indispensable behavior in their daily life. Because they had to do this, they wanted to understand what Fang Jue had done today, not really caring about Fang Jue, but caring about whether Fang Jue was in a good mood today, whether he would suddenly go crazy and find people to get angry, they had better make some preparations earlier, it was best to avoid Fang Jue's sight from afar.
Fang Jue ran to the backyard for several days, and he was still singing in the backyard, which naturally couldn't escape the maids and gentlemen who united to prevent Fang Jue, it was really a young master of fire prevention, theft prevention, who called Fang Jue's previous reputation was too stinky.
