Chapter Twenty-Three: Transfiguration

"Although it's not him, but his own son is here, does it mean that he came in person?" The smug look on the young man's face was even worse, "That Zhao Gongzi prepared a generous gift and personally came to congratulate the Yan family master on his birthday." What else did he say: 'My father always mentions my uncle, saying that my old friend has not seen him for a long time, and that I should move around a lot in the future. The meaning of these words is that Master Yan and Lord Zhao have a deep friendship. So those who say that the Yan family has offended the imperial court are pure nonsense. ”

Hearing this, Mu Cripple, who was sitting at a table next to him, silently put down the chopsticks in his hand, smashed his mouth and said to Mu Xiaowu, who was sitting opposite, "Look, as soon as he came, I could see that his momentum was different from others, and it was somewhat related to the government, sure enough." It's just that I didn't expect him to be Zhao Wenan's son. ”

Mu Xiaowu shook his head, "You are also scared, we helped him, and I could earn a few silver ingots, but you didn't let me speak, seeing him was like a mouse meeting a cat." ”

"Hey ancestor, this time thanks to the fact that we didn't miss, we didn't get caught by that official. You forgot that we didn't embroider people's souls back that time, and we were almost arrested by the government, saying that we were abducted and deceived ......"

Mu Xiaowu stopped the action of pinching peanuts, and pondered with his cheeks, "When you say this, I think of one thing, this Zhao Zimai came back from abroad, and it is said that he should be very disdainful of people like you and me." But he seemed to be quite interested in our business, and asked me what was 'Zheng'? ”

"Did you save his life, of course he believed it, can he still take revenge?"

Mu Xiaowu shrugged, "Don't be complacent, he has seen the appearance of my red eyes, and one day he will arrest me as a demon, maybe he will count everything that happened in Yan Mansion on my head." ”

"Xiao Wu," Mu Cripple stared into her eyes, with a bit of tentative in his voice, "It's really gone, right?" Are you sure it's gone? It came and went like this, and it made me panic......"

He had asked this more than a hundred times since he left Yan's house, so Mu Xiaowu couldn't help but be upset when he heard it. So after giving him a roll of the eyes, she picked up her chopsticks again, aimed at the plate of old vinegar peanuts and sandwiched it, and said, "This Baijiao dish is not very good, it is not as good as Zhangtai, in my opinion, let's go to Guangdong overnight tonight, walk all the way and eat all the way, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Cripple also forgot his troubles, and jumped up with joy, he patted the bulging money bag, "Of course it's good, anyway, the money given by the Yan family is enough for us to be free for several years, I will listen to you wherever you go." Oh, my old bones, should also enjoy it, others have already enjoyed the blessings of their children and grandchildren when they reach my age. So these days, I always think, I can't work so hard anymore, you have also learned eighty percent of my crafts, I will eat and drink with you in the future, happy day by ......day."

He only cared about being proud, but he didn't notice that Mu Xiaowu, who was still in high spirits, suddenly smiled, staring at the half plate of peanuts with a solemn expression.

"Those new ghosts used to be too young to taste good, and they weren't enough for me to stuff between my teeth." She suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and said such a sentence.

At that time, Mu Cripple had already drunk three taels of wine and was slightly drunk, so she couldn't tell what she was talking about for a while, but she was still saying that the dish was not palatable enough and not flavorful enough. So he continued, "The restaurant in Guangzhou is famous all over the country, and I am sure to let you have a good time there." ”

"Why bother to take the near and far," Mu Xiaowu was still staring at the peanuts, his eyebrows shrugged upward, but his face was still unfazed, "Doesn't the Yan family have a ready-made one there?" ”

"The Yan family," Mu lame touched the tip of his nose and pondered, "Of course the Yan family's dishes are good, let me tell you, in terms of the complexity of those dishes, they are comparable to the methods in the palace." I don't think even if we go to Guangzhou, we probably won't be able to eat such food. It's a pity, this Yan family is a realm that we are afraid of, how can we throw ourselves into the net again......"

Speaking of this, he wrinkled his nose, "What did you just say?" The Yan family has a ready-made? ”

His gaze turned to Mu Xiaowu's face, and then his body fell backwards heavily, knocking over the chair behind him.

The next moment, Mu Cripple covered his mouth with all his strength and forcibly stifled the scream in his throat. He dropped a few taels of silver, grabbed Mu Xiaowu's arm with one hand, covered her eyes with the other, and dragged her out of the tavern.

Mu lame dragged "Mu Xiaowu" to a dark alley before letting go of his hand, and then, he took a few breaths, and suddenly knelt down with a "plop" at Mu Xiaowu's back, bowed a few times, and said with a trembling mouth, "Immortals, immortals, offended, you old man is not a strange villain." The small one is afraid that you will be seen by those pickled and splashed skins, so you are a lot, but don't blame me. ”

"Mu Xiaowu" moved his shoulders a few times, stretched his arms upward, and said coldly, "I was dragged by you for half a street, and I almost twisted my feet, if it weren't for the fact that you still have so much to use, I would have swallowed you in one bite." ”

After closing her words, she turned around slowly, picked up a stone pier at random and sat down, crossed one leg to the other, knocked her fingers on her knee twice, and said to Mu Cripple, who was still kneeling there, "What, do I look terrible?" Don't even dare to lift your head? ”

"No, no, no, your old man is majestic and heroic, where can you describe it as terrifying......"

After speaking, he craned his neck and raised his head, and barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying at the pair of red eyes staring at "Mu Xiaowu".

"Mu Xiaowu" snorted coldly, and waved his hand at Mu Cripple, "That's it, you go buy a hat, it's bigger, it can cover your eyes, so that you people don't see me one by one as if you've seen a ghost." I just woke up, hungry, and that thing from the Yan family was right on my appetite. ”

When Mu Cripple heard this, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the entrance of the alley, because he was in too haste, he almost slipped and fell, and barely fell to the ground by holding on to the wall.

His funny appearance caused the people behind him to laugh, but then, what she said made Mu Cripple's heart half cold, "Hey, old man, don't be delusional, I hope that I will be able to leave by myself one day." I'm going to use this body to heal my wounds, and you'll have to find me more food to eat in the future, and maybe I'll spare your life, if not......"

She didn't say the next words, obviously she didn't need to say it, Mu Lame laughed dryly, and said "How dare you dare" in her mouth, and walked towards the alley.

"Wait, I have one more thing to ask you."

Who knows, the voice that made him cry out again sounded.
