Chapter 55: Meeting

In the flower hall in the front yard of the Marquis of Jingping's mansion, his sweetheart couldn't wait for a long time, and Li Mu felt like a year.

Since yesterday, Li Mu has been rejected by the subordinates of the Jingping Marquis Mansion, he did not give up, and came again early this morning.

Just waited outside the door for half an hour, Li Mu didn't even enter the mansion, and then finally entered the mansion, and waited in the flower hall for more than an hour.

Just when Li Mu was anxious, the voice of the little maid came from his ears: "The slave and maid ask the county lord for peace." ”

Li Mu hurriedly stood up, only to hear a crisp and tactful voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley and say, "Get up." ”

Li Mu's spirit was shocked, and he immediately looked at the door with great anticipation.

I saw Xie Yan and a cherry-red passion flower pattern knotted shirt, with a golden treasure bottle cloud pattern apricot yellow long skirt, ink-like green silk rolled into a double screw bun, and a long string of pearl beads wrapped around the hair, each pearl is the size of a thumb nail, with brilliance and treasure; A pear-shaped emerald at the end of the tail hangs from the center of her eyebrows, and the green of the forest makes her skin more and more picturesque.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment.

"Master Li, I heard that you want to see me?" Xie Yanhe was not polite to Li Mu, but directly found the main seat and sat down.

Mama Gong, who was half a step behind her, stood behind Xie Yanhe with a solemn expression.

Only then did Li Mu realize that there was an extra face beside the county lord of Yonghe. An old, unsmiling old woman.

"County Lord." Li Mu arched his hand at Xie Yanhe.

Xie Yanhe took the sacrificial red porcelain tea bowl brought by the maid, lowered her head and took a sip, she put the tea cup on the table of the eight immortals on the side, and said lightly: "Master Li has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

The county lord of Yonghe was indifferent to people thousands of miles away, and Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Although when he was in Liuyuan, the attitude of the county lord of Yonghe towards himself was not friendly, and there was a trace of sharpness and vigilance in the coldness, but after he showed his heart, the attitude of the county lord of Yonghe clearly softened.

Now...... The county lord of Yonghe treats himself even more indifferently than before!

Li Mu couldn't help but be anxious: "County Lord, I want to say two words about our marriage. ”

Xie Yanhe teased his eyelids slightly, and his peach blossom eyes were like ice and snow: "Master Li, you went out early, probably not knowing that my grandmother's people are about to come to the door." ”

"County Lord, last time you mentioned that you wanted to advance the wedding date, when I asked to see the eldest princess, I mentioned it to the eldest princess, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess did not agree."

Li Mu said, stood up from his seat, bowed to Xie Yan and Chang, and said, "I am entrusted by the county lord, and I ask the county lord to forgive me once." ”

"Master Li is too polite." Xie Yan and Wen Wen smiled, and the expression between their eyebrows and eyes was very perfunctory.

The attitude of the county lord of Yonghe made Li Mu stunned. I and the county lord of Yonghe still have half a month to become husband and wife, does the county lord of Yonghe want to regret the marriage? That's why I'm so impatient with him.

Li Mu also knew that he was not worthy of her, but the marriage between the two of them was decided by the eldest princess herself, thinking of this, Li Mu felt a little relieved.

"County Lord, in front of me, you don't have to be so polite." Li Mu tried his best to release his kindness.

Xie Yanhe's eyebrows didn't move, as if he hadn't heard Li Mu's words.

It's Mama Gong, I really can't listen to it. Such a villain, where did he get the confidence to think that the county lord would definitely marry him!

"You're Li Mu?" Mama Gong took a step forward and stood directly beside Xie Yanhe, on a round face, the gentle and kind facial lines were tight, the eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and the corners of her lips were tightly pursed.

was called by his name by the subordinates around the county lord of Yonghe, and Li Mu was not annoyed.

As the saying goes: the prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the door. Li Mu knows how arrogant those old servants who have accumulated years of age, especially the slaves who have a face in front of their masters, among these high-ranking families.

For example, his aunt, the nurse of the county lord of Jinghua, even if she is her uncle's own nephew, every time the old lady sees her, she doesn't have many clematis, as if she is a poor relative who came to "fight the autumn wind".

"County Lord, this is ......" Li Mu turned his gaze to Xie Yanhe.

But I saw that the girl bowed her head slightly, and the two rows of thick, curly eyelashes hung down densely, like the wings of a butterfly closed, and the sparkling eyes were hidden in the shadows, so that people could not see half of it.

Mama Gong tugged at the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "The slave's surname is Gong, and she is the nurse next to the county lord." ”

Hearing this, Li Mu's expression froze, and he hurriedly bowed to Mama Gong: "Mama is good." ”

In a family like the Xie family, the nurse next to the master can be half of the family, and she will marry with the master and become the chief steward of the hostess's husband's house.

In the face of such a slave with a special identity, Li Mu did not dare to take it lightly, even if he would be the husband of the county lord of Yonghe in the future, he did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for Mama Gong, so as not to be worn by this old servant in the future.

Mama Gong accepted Li Mu's half of the salute without shying away, and after seeing that there was no displeasure on Li Mu's face, Mama Gong felt a pang in her heart, and finally gave the man in front of her a straight look.

This man looked twenty-six or seventeen years old, slender, tall, straight, with upright facial features, the sharp lines of his face were full of masculinity, and the wheat-colored skin and the muscles under the shoulders and neck were typical characteristics of a military general.

If this person is not the husband chosen by the eldest princess for the county lord, out of respect for the border soldiers, Mama Gong can still have a few good feelings in her heart.

But this person named Li Mu came to the door on the order of the eldest princess, maybe he secretly colluded with the Chen family, and Mama Gong had some anger and disdain of "being a beautiful woman, why be a thief".

"Lord Li, the slave can't stand such a big gift from you." Mama Gong's words were said after Li Mu's salute, and it didn't sound sincere.

Li Mu secretly took a deep breath. The nurse of the county lord of Yonghe was so arrogant, even rude, not only did the county lord not say a word to reprimand, but even his face was not half unhappy.

Li Mu suddenly understood the attitude of the county lord of Yonghe.

The county lord of Yonghe stayed out of the matter as if it was none of his business, Li Mu had no choice but to say to Mama Gong in a low voice: "Don't laugh at me, old man." I know that the county lord has a grudge against me in his heart. It was I who did not do well and failed to live up to the expectations of the county lord. But Mama, when I was in Liuyuan that day, the words I said to the county lord were all sincere. ”

Li Mu said sonorously: "I, Li Mu, swear, if there is a lie that day, I will let Li Mu thunder and die without a place to be buried." ”

When Mama Gong heard this, the calm expression on her face could no longer be maintained. This Li Mu can not only bend and stretch, but also a ruthless person who can be gentle and petty at the same time!

Mama Gong is extremely glad at the moment, the county lord has not yet opened her mind, or rather, the county lord still has the shadow of the young master of the Gu family in his heart, otherwise, maybe he will really be coaxed by this Li Mu.

really got to that point, even if he came to the capital, in front of the county lord, where did he ruthlessly do the thing of "beating the mandarin ducks", he could only watch Li Mu get his hands on it, that was the real "mourning"!

Mama Gong's heart is full of happiness for the rest of her life, and when she looks at Li Mu again, she is unpleasant!

"It's just a joke for Lord Li, life and death, the county lord is delicate, and he can't stand such words."

Mama Gong said lightly, and without waiting for Li Mu to speak, she changed the topic and said, "The slave maid returned to Beijing this time on the order of the county lord's brother Jingping Marquis to return to Beijing to take care of the county lord. On the first day of the slave maid's entry into Beijing, she went to the eldest princess's mansion and showed the eldest princess the attitude of my lord. Regarding this marriage between you and the county lord, my lord does not agree. ”

Mama Gong finished her words unhurriedly, and then Xie Yanhe's words said: "I heard that Lord Li rented a small house in the capital, Lord Li should go back quickly." Presumably, the messenger of the eldest princess has been waiting in the mansion for a long time! ”

Li Mu has a lot of patience in her politeness to Mama Gong, because she respects her as the nurse of the county lord of Yonghe and has the merit of taking care of the county lord, but Li Muque does not allow this old mama to climb on her head by virtue of her qualifications.

Divorce? Even if Marquis Jingping doesn't agree with that, he and the county lord of Yonghe have already changed the marriage certificate, and this matter has never changed, even if he arrives at Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple, he is also the one who is reasonable.

Therefore, Li Mu hid the anger between his eyebrows, and said very calmly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mama Gong, I and the county lord have already exchanged marriage books, and in half a month, it will be my wedding with the county lord." Mama, if you dislike my Li family's house is simple, stay in the Hou Mansion. ”

Mama Gong raised her eyebrows when she heard this, she was not surprised by Li Mu's attitude, she smiled faintly: "What if you have a marriage certificate in your hand?" This marriage is just a matter of getting rid of it. ”

The green tendons on Li Mu's forehead jumped, he really didn't understand, how could this palace grandmother say the word "regret marriage" so lightly.

He forcibly suppressed his anger, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and looked at the county lord of Yonghe, who was silent, and his deep voice was dyed with a touch of unconscious tenderness: "County lord, do you think the same way?" ”

Xie Yan and her eyelashes lifted slightly, she raised her face, her peerless face was as cold as frost, and the sparkle in her peach blossom eyes was more like she was frozen, and her eyes were full of coldness.

"Master Li, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, the marriage contract between you and me was originally made by my grandmother, but now it is the brother's intention to withdraw from the marriage, the eldest brother is like a father, forgive me for not obeying my fate."

Xie Yanhe's tone was extremely light.

Obviously, she was sitting so close, right in front of her, but Li Mu felt that she was like a cold moon in the sky, with a cold silver glow sprinkled on her body, but she was far away and out of reach.

Li Mu suddenly had a huge panic in his heart. He involuntarily stood up from the chair, because the movement was too big, the heavy red sour branch wood circle chair even made a "bang" sound, and he roared very out of shape: "County Lord, I don't agree!" I will never get married! ”
