Tang Xi slandered in his heart, and then looked at Huo Jinyan to be much calmer, and he was not half ashamed when he heard such words, which shows that he had probably experienced enough before.

"Miss Mu laughed, the girl has not yet left the cabinet, and it is really inappropriate to call her by her name." He replied with an indifferent face, and the stunning color in front of him was no different from radish and cabbage in his eyes.

Mu Yao's face changed slightly, but she had probably been hit many times, so she didn't get depressed, and she still had a decent smile on her face, "...... In this way, Mu Yao was not reluctant. ”

After speaking, she asked the maid to take the gift box and present it, "I came to visit today, I specially brought some gifts, and I ...... to look at it" She paused, and looked at Huo Jinyan's eyes full of affection, "I hope that Brother Jinyan will not be disgusted." ”

"......" Tang Xi is really convinced, this self-talking title has changed from "Master Huo" to "Brother Jinyan", no wonder Huo Jinyan has been stunned for many years There is no way to take her, as the daughter of a scholar, he can't beat and scold, scold and scold, it's really difficult to entangle.

When Huo Jinyan heard this "Brother Jinyan", he couldn't help frowning, he had deliberately avoided Mu Yao in the past few months, but it seemed to make the other party more anxious, and it was really more and more difficult.

"I'm at your father's level, this ...... I'm afraid I can't bear it. Huo Jinyan paused, in the end he was embarrassed to repeat the "Brother Jinyan".

Mu Yao bit her lip, "You are only ten years older than me, and my father and I will go our separate ways, and it will not be in the way." ”

Huo Jinyan was probably also shocked by her theories, she didn't answer for a long time, she rubbed her eyebrows as if she had a headache for a while, and then motioned to Yan Qing to take the gift, "I accepted the gift, Jinshi will accompany Miss Mu around, I still have official business, so I won't accompany me." ”

This naked eviction order has been issued, Tang Xi pursed his lips boringly, got up and prepared to leave.

However, in the end, she still underestimated Mu Yao, she stood in place with an unchanged face, "Brother Jinyan, don't you open it and take a look?" ”

Huo Jinyan seemed to have exhausted his patience, and his face sank slightly, "Miss Mu......"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Tang Xi, she pulled Mu Yao up and walked out, "Brother, you are busy first, let's go!" ”

Mu Yao was obviously unwilling, but Tang Xi's strength was much greater than her, so she was pulled out of the room.

Huo Jinyan looked at the empty room, pursed his lips slightly, and said after a while, "Ying Er, take care of her." ”

Mu Yao was forcibly pulled out by Tang Xi, her face immediately collapsed, her little face wrinkled slightly, and she called out resentfully, "Sister Jinshi!" ”

Tang Xi let go of his hand and raised his eyebrows at her, "Miss Mu Yao is too aggressive, if he didn't pull you out just now, he would have been angry." ”

Mu Yao bit her lip, "How could it be...... Everyone knows that Brother Jinyan has the best temper, but ......"

Tang Xi's tone aggravated slightly, "No matter how good-tempered a person is, he will be angry, just ...... Miss Mu did pass. ”

In front of Huo Jinyan, she was still able to show her face, but now in front of Tang Xi, her face was much thinner all of a sudden, biting her lip at this time, her eyes were red, and she choked up, "I...... I can't help it! My brother has been avoiding me, and I'm eighteen years old this year! I can't hold back my marriage, if I can't make my brother like me anymore, I can only marry someone I don't like...... I, I don't want to! ”

The beauty was crying, it was really sad for the hearer, and the crying for the seeing, Tang Xi was a little unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't get angry when she cried at this time, and sighed slightly and said, "Brother is a wood who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, if it ...... If you really feel bitter, Miss Mu should give up. ”

She thought that Huo Jinyan treated this Mu Yao somewhat differently, so it didn't matter if she helped Mu Yao, but when she saw her today...... I'm afraid that she thought wrong, of course, it could also be because she was there, so Huo Jinyan couldn't pull her face.

She weighed it for a while, and felt that it was better for her not to wade into this troubled water again, since she decided to leave, why bother to make any more extraneous branches? Huo Jinyan's affairs are just for him to worry about.

But when her words of consolation came out, Mu Yao reacted very violently, and shouted at her uncontrollably, "No! I don't want to give up! Sister Jinshi, please help me again! ”

Tang Xi was a little hesitant, but seeing Mu Yao so pitiful, his heart softened, "Okay, then I'll help you for the last time...... But if it still doesn't work, Sister Mu still doesn't have to force it. ”

Mu Yao grabbed her hand and burst into tears, "Thank you!" I promise...... This is the last time. ”

sent Mu Yao away, Tang Xi didn't think much about it, he just felt that Mu Yao was just unwilling to pay for many years, so he just wanted to fight again, it was not easy for a woman to be like this, and it didn't matter if she helped her again.

However, later in the evening, Yan Qing came to Tang Xi's courtyard and said that Huo Jinyan was looking for her.

She beat the drum in her heart, feeling that Huo Jinyan was probably looking for her for today's matter, he had been avoiding her for the past few days, but he made an exception to see her today, thinking that he was really angry.

But since Yan Qingdu came in person, it was impossible for her to fool the past, so she also passed obediently.

When Huo Jinyan was eating in the past, when he saw her coming, he said lightly, "Come and eat together." ”

"Oh......" Tang Xi obediently did it, looking at most of the vegetables on the table, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said critically, "The adults eat too lightly." ”

Huo Jinyan paused, "Why don't you call my brother?" ”

Tang Xi picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of braised pork, "If there are no outsiders, I won't take advantage of adults." After a pause, she muttered again, "Or is the adult actually trying to take advantage of me?" ”

Huo Jinyan pursed his lips, "It's better to call my brother after all." ”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, looked at Huo Jinyan for a while, and then responded in a lazy voice, "Got it, brother, brother." The last two words are particularly forceful.

Tsk, I don't know if Huo Jinyan remembered the drunkenness that day, and I don't know who she was reminding if she had to call her brother?

Regarding Tang Xi's obviously unconvincing answer, Huo Jinyan just frowned, didn't say anything more, and said after a while, "That Miss Mu, don't bring it to the house casually in the future." ”

Tang Xi's chopsticks paused slightly, and then said casually, "I thought that such a beauty was very eye-catching, and my brother would like it." ”

Huo Jinyan lightly reprimanded her, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips and said indifferently, "I thought adults liked beautiful appearances, otherwise why would adults ......?"

"Tang Xi!" Huo Jinyan suddenly put down his chopsticks heavily, with a thin anger in his eyes, and stopped her with a loud voice.

Looking at Tang Xi with a hint of stubbornness, he let out a long breath, then turned his head to the little guy waiting beside him and said, "You all go out." ”

Soon the two of them were left in the room.

Tang Xi was still eating the dishes leisurely, as if he hadn't said anything just now, and he had to taste it from time to time, "These ribs are a little older." ”

"Tang Xi, I don't know what you're thinking, but my patience is limited, if you interfere in my private affairs like this again, I ......"

Tang Xi raised his head, "What about you?" Kill me? ”

Tang Xi knew that she was dying, but sometimes, she couldn't help but speak provocatively, and she didn't know if she was brushing up her sense of existence or trying to prove it...... Tang Xi said to Huo Jinyan that it was different.

Huo Jinyan narrowed his eyes, and then the thin anger in his eyes suddenly dissipated, and he said coldly, "Tang Xi, your wedding date is imminent, since you are about to marry Lu Zheng, you should be distracted." ”

Looking at Huo Jinyan's sudden indifference, Tang Xi suddenly laughed, "Huo Jinyan, actually you know my thoughts, right?" ”

Huo Jinyan paused slightly, "How can I guess what other people think?" But yourself, since you have agreed, don't be willful and wantonly ruin the sincerity of others. ”

Tang Xi grinned, "Brother, don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion...... As for you, I just sympathize with Sister Mu Yao, and I don't deliberately interfere in my brother's private affairs. ”

"Your sympathy will only put others in a more embarrassing situation."

"Oh." Tang Xi nodded, "I know, that brother eats slowly, I'll go first." ”

Stepping out of the door, there was a cold wind blowing outside, the cold Tang Xi shivered, Miaoxiang handed over a hand stove in time, Tang Xi took it, and then grinned at her, "Heh, the wind and snow outside are not as cold as half of the heart in my heart." ”

Miao Xiang didn't move Tang Xi's words, but Tang Xi didn't want to say more, and strode out of Huo Jinyan's courtyard.

treats people he doesn't like, Huo Jinyan is really heartbreaking.

After two days, Lu Zheng, who had not been seen for a long time, finally appeared, Tang Xi looked at Lu Zheng, who was as gentle as a jade, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, "What?" I haven't seen you for a few days, in fact, you have gone to reincarnate? ”

Lu Zheng immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this, "You have no conscience, who am I doing this for!" After saying this, the previous warm and jade-like appearance immediately collapsed.

Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's still the same Lu Zheng I know, let's say, what's going on?" ”

Lu Zheng picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite aggrievedly, "You are comfortable, I paid a lot for this marriage, and made an agreement with my father, as long as I change this squishy appearance, he will not stop me, so I worked hard to cultivate my self-cultivation and stayed at home for a month without going out!" But who would have thought that the old man would be so cunning! Obviously, the third brother recognized you as his sister, and he didn't object to it, but he blocked my news and locked me up to this day! ”

Tang Xi listened to his history of blood and tears, but couldn't help but want to laugh, "Where are you self-cultivation?" It's just a forced pretend, and it will take a month? ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Do you have compassion left! Lu Zheng said angrily.

"Okay, okay, I know you've worked hard, come, I'll reward you with another piece of pastry!"

Lu Zheng was immediately smoothed, took the pastry and said, "Hmph, for the sake of you being so acquainted, I forgive you." ”

After laughing, Tang Xi talked about the reason for coming to him, she thought about it for a long time, but she never found a suitable explanation, and finally fortunately asked directly, "Lu Zheng, let me ask you, do you like me?" ”

Lu Zheng was eating pastries, and when he heard her words, he suddenly choked, "cough, cough, cough...... You, you, you...... Ahem......"

Tang Xi touched his nose with a little weakness, why did he always seem to choke him?

After Lu Zheng calmed down and stopped coughing, his face was always flushed, and he twisted, "Why are you a woman so shameless!" How can you ask such a question in person? ”

"......" Tang Xi rolled his eyes, "I said Lu Zheng, you shouldn't be shy, right?" ”

"I didn't!" Lu Zheng suddenly exploded, "Master, I don't get a leaf in the ten thousand flowers, how can I be a shy gift in the face of your little girl?" ”

Tang Xi nodded. "That's good, answer me quickly, I didn't mess with you, I was asking you seriously."

Lu Zheng looked at her expression carefully, and saw that she really didn't mean to be half-joking, so he thought about it carefully, and only after a while did he reply to Ai Ai, "Probably...... I like it. ”

Tang Xi frowned, "I have to like it so much?" ”

"......" is obviously a very ambiguous topic, why does it come out of her mouth without half a charming atmosphere? Lu Zheng scratched his head, completely relaxed, and replied honestly, "I like it, I like it, but you have to ...... I'm afraid not yet. ”

Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "That means, you have a good impression of me, but you don't have to marry me?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded, and shook his head again, "That's not it, at least now I have to marry you, and you don't have to have any psychological burden, although half of the reason is that I cheated you so I want to be responsible for saving, but at the same time, it is also because this person is you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so selfless and dedicated to my lifelong happiness!" ”

Tang Xi touched her chin, and understood that Lu Zheng did have a good impression of her, but at the same time, the greater reason for agreeing to marry her was responsibility, so she felt much more at ease.

"That's good."

"Huh?" Lu Zheng looked at her suspiciously.

Tang Xi smiled, "It's nothing, by the way, Lu Zheng, do you have any wishes?" The kind I can help with. ”

"Wish?" Lu Zheng frowned and wondered, "What?" Do you have the heart to fulfill my wish for me? ”

Tang Xi nodded, and smiled very kindly, "Yes, seeing that you are so kind to me, I will marry if you say that I will marry, I am grateful, and naturally I want to repay it, so if you have any wishes, I will try my best to help you complete it!" ”

Lu Zheng scratched his head, "I can't think of it for a while." ”

"Don't worry, just tell me if you think about it before we get married, you must think about it seriously! Otherwise, I won't be able to rest easy. ”

"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll go back and think about it."

Tang Xi felt a trace of guilt in her heart, Lu Zheng was really good to her, but this time she had to pit him, and at the same time, she couldn't tell him in advance, otherwise he would definitely tell Huo Jinyan.

In this way, she can only try to compensate him, although she also knows that she can't get anything back, but in the end, she will feel more comfortable, right?

After saying a few more words to Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng went to Huo Jinyan, Tang Xi thought about his embarrassing situation now, and Baba stepped forward to annoy people, so he didn't go over together.

After thinking about it, she went over to find Yan Qing in person, "I'll go out for a casual walk, you tell my brother." ”

Then she went out with Miaoxiang, and as soon as she walked out of the door, she paused and called tentatively, "Shadow two? You're there, right? ”

"How does Miss know?" Shadow Er appeared like a ghost and asked suspiciously.

Tang Xi smiled, "How uncomfortable it is to always follow in the dark, Miss is in a good mood today, how about taking you to drink?" ”

"......" Shadow Er's face hidden under the mask appeared a little tangled, and Ai Ai said, "Miss, this is not big, right?" ”

Tang Xi smiled heartily, and then patted Ying Er's shoulder, "What's wrong with this?" You have been protecting me for your hard work, so I should thank you, just accompany Miss I to have a drink, are you still afraid that you can't drink me as a weak woman? ”

Kageji thought about it and felt that it was too, he was still very confident in his drinking, and it was okay to have a drink with the young lady once in a while, so he readily agreed, so the group of three walked towards the tavern.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Tang Xi asked for a private room, and then asked for some good wine and food, and drank wine with Ying Er and Miaoxiang, "It's really hard for you to protect me, and I'm going to get married in more than a month, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again, so I'll have a drink today!" ”

When Miaoxiang heard this, she corrected seriously, "I am a maid given to Miss by an adult, even if you get married, I will be a maid to dowry." ”

"......" Tang Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, and then raised his glass indiscriminately and said, "Whatever, I'll get drunk today!" ”

After saying that, she took the lead in drinking a glass, and Ying Er saw that she was poisoned with a glass of wine, so she squinted her eyes and raised her glass to drink, Miaoxiang saw that both of them had drunk, and she was not good at it anymore, so she also hurriedly drank a glass, and then several people chatted for a while and ate a few mouthfuls of food.

"You ......" Ying Er shook his head, suddenly felt a little dizzy, and suddenly realized that this was Tang Xi's way, but he only had time to say a word, and fainted in Tang Xi's bright smile, and Miaoxiang didn't need to say it, she fell headlong on the table without even saying a word.

Tang Xi smiled and put the two of them in a more comfortable position, "Ying Er Miaoxiang, I'm really sorry, Miss, I drank the antidote in advance, you guys just sleep here, I'll come back to you in a while!" ”

Fortunately, the person who followed her was Shadow Two, and if Shadow One's wood was difficult, she checked the mystery in her hand. Medicine, said to himself, "It's really a skill in hand, I have it all over the world, and I have achieved a lot of things with this meager medical skill." ”

Then she threw the two of them in the restaurant, and instructed the innkeeper to take good care of them, and then went to find Shangguan Yu herself.

The restaurant she chose was not far from the inn, so she arrived soon, "Xiao Er, is there a guest named Shangguan Yu in this store?" ”

"Tang Xi?" As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Nan happened to come down from upstairs, and when he saw her, his eyes lit up and he called her happily.

Tang Xi raised his head and immediately smiled, "Long time no see." ”

In view of the fact that Tang Xi could not be seen by too many people, Cheng Nan directly pulled Tang Xi upstairs and went to his room.

"What about Shangguan Yu?"

Cheng Nan pursed his lips, "That crazy girl, where can I stay in this inn, I don't know where to go crazy now!" ”

Tang Xi couldn't help but quip, "Then when will you invite me to a serious cup of wine?" ”

Cheng Nan's face suddenly turned red when he heard this, "What nonsense are you talking about!" It's impossible for me and that minx! ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips and didn't continue to talk about this topic, there are some things that outsiders can't interfere with, even if he thinks that the two of them are very compatible, he can't say too much, otherwise it will only cause Cheng Nan's disgust, so he can only wait for Cheng Nan to open his mind.

"Shangguan Yu should have told you about me, right?" Tang Xi asked.

"Hmm." Speaking of business, Cheng Nan's face was also much more serious, "This matter is a little difficult, Shangguan Yu and I have surveyed the terrain of the capital these days, but we have roughly planned the route, you can see if it is appropriate." ”

Saying that, he took out the map and showed it to her, she was very familiar with the terrain of the capital, and then looked at Cheng Nan's route plan, nodded and said, "Yes, this route is very reasonable." After speaking, she couldn't help but ask more, "Who thought this?" The layout is reasonable, and all the sudden situations are thought of, but there are some generals. ”

Cheng Nan's face flushed slightly when he heard this, "I'm just a rough man in the mountains, how can I have any talent." ”

She was a little surprised when she heard this, she always knew that Shangguan Yu was a very smart girl, so her first reaction was to think that this was also what Shangguan Yu thought, but when she heard him say this, she was wrong, she didn't expect Shangguan Yu to look gentle and elegant, but he was a material to lead troops to fight, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not strange to be able to take the group of bandits in Black Eagle Village arrogantly for so many years, and it seems that there is nothing strange about having a talent for generals.

"Tsk, it's a pity that you are a bandit, it's a pity that you have a criminal record in the court now, otherwise you might be able to enter the court as a military general, and it doesn't bury your talent."

Cheng Nan frowned, "Why do you always help the court, your cheap brother doesn't do your duty, right?" I know you mean well, but I'm used to being at ease, so I don't want to enter the dark officialdom. ”

Tang Xi stuck out her tongue, this habit of always thinking from the perspective of the court couldn't be changed for a while, but she just said casually that people like Cheng Nan are indeed not suitable to enter the court as officials.

So the two didn't talk about any more digressions, and began to discuss specific matters seriously.

Just as he was talking energetically, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, "Cheng Nan, you bastard!" Dare to find a woman while I'm not looking? ”

“……”

“……”

Cheng Nan and Tang Xi looked at Shangguan Yu who walked in with a look of confusion, not knowing how to react.

And when Shangguan Yu saw that the person inside was Tang Xi, her body suddenly froze, and when she saw that the two of them were holding the map, it didn't look like there was any ambiguity, and she was even more embarrassed.

"Ahem...... Where did you come from? Shanguanyu touched his nose and asked Tang Xi weakly.

"Guest officer, this door has to pay a total of five taels of silver, do you think you will pay for it now or?" The shopkeeper who came up immediately said to Shangguan Yu with an abacus with a calm face. ”

“……”

In the end, the three of them changed rooms and continued, of course, Shangguan Yu was inevitably compensated for the five taels of silver.

"My wedding date is set for the twenty-eighth of next month, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will be very lively on that day, and the secret guard will focus on arranging it in the front hall, when Shangguan Yu you sneak into the mansion and wait for me in the courtyard where we met before, and Cheng Nan will stay outside the mansion to answer."

Shangguan Yu nodded, and then couldn't help but sigh, "Why do you have to play the drama of escaping marriage every time I see you, tsk, your life is really gorgeous and colorful." ”

Tang Xi sighed, "I escaped from the marriage, so I am destined to have no peach blossoms for the rest of my life." ”

"Okay, I have to go back quickly, otherwise Shadow Er will be in trouble when he wakes up, and I shouldn't come back after that, you guys be careful."
