CHAPTER XVI

"Childe, does it have to be like this?" Chang Lin pulled the clothes on his body, feeling uncomfortable. The scenery in the Mufu garden is just right, and there are often maids and servants coming and going. Chang Lin was standing under the tree at this time, looking a little helpless, he was dressed in a dark shirt, delicate and heavy, with dark flowers on the cuffs and neckline, a jade belt wrapped around his waist, and a jade pendant with a whole body of emerald green. The hair that has been tied up all the time is half down, and the hairpin has been replaced with jade.

Look at the back, how good a beautiful boy is, how awkward he looks when he turns around. Chang Lin is a martial artist, perennial short arms wrapped, and a heavy sword at his waist. Even if you wear an official uniform in Beijing, it is also clean and neat, which is easy to move first. Such a person suddenly dressed him as weak, with wide sleeves and belts, and walked with the wind. Chang Lin felt that he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet, and the initiator of the partial life was still instigating him on the side.

"You are just too serious on weekdays, so that others will stay away from you. That's how good, straighten my back! Someone is coming in front of you, get over there. Xiao Lanwei held her chin and looked at Chang Lin, and she caught a glimpse of a team of maids coming from a distance, and hurriedly hid behind a tree and let Chang Lin walk over. Chang Linmu took two steps out with a face, and when he saw someone coming, he was embarrassed to go any further.

The maid who passed by saw Chang Lin standing on the side, and she didn't recognize it for a while. Xiao Lanwei has been living in the house for a while, and he lives in a simple house, but Chang Lin often walks around the house, which is not an eye. But now he's dressed like this...... The maid who nodded recognized Chang Lin, and after a moment of stunned on her face, she couldn't help but tilt her head and laugh.

The few little girls who came over all saw Chang Lin, with different expressions on their faces, but after a while, they burst into laughter. On weekdays, Chang Lin's cold face scared off many people, and the people in the Mu Mansion only said that there was a cold-faced evil god in the house, which was better than the door god who warded off evil spirits. I didn't expect this evil god to have such a side.

The clothes on my body are all good things, but ...... The little girls couldn't help laughing, you push me, I push you, and ran in front of Chang Lin with a smile. Far away, you can still hear the crisp laughter and discussion of a group of little girls.

Chang Lin stood on the side of the garden road, looking back at Xiao Lanhuan, his face full of lovelessness.

"......" Xiao Lanwei felt that in her short life of more than ten years, she had never encountered such an insurmountable hurdle. Looking at Chang Lin's dress again, he couldn't help laughing twice.

Chang Lin's face was pale, and he looked like he wanted to wipe his neck and kill himself immediately.

"Puff hahahaha......" In the pavilion on the rockery not far away, Yunqiao covered his stomach and smiled on Mu Qingling's shoulder, Mu Qingling and Yunqiao watched everything just now, and said with a smile: "You are still laughing, if it wasn't for the time when you were in a hurry to be white-faced, people would be able to do this?" Don't you have to blame for this? ”

Yunqiao raised his head and touched the tears that came out of the laughter in the corners of his eyes, and argued: "Can you blame me then?" Girl, ask the maid in the house, who sees him is not the same as a mouse sees a cat. But don't worry, girl, after today...... But no one was afraid of him anymore. Hahahaha"

Mu Qingling shook her head helplessly, Xiao Lanwei had already taken Chang Lin to prepare to go back to the guest house, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Mu Qingling and Yunqiao in the pavilion.

The four of them looked at each other, and when Yunqiao saw Chang Lin's nondescript outfit, he immediately turned his head away and forced a smile. Chang Lin was completely numb, saying that he didn't want to show his eyes again, Xiao Lanwei could only let Chang Lin go back first, and he went up to the rockery and entered the pavilion.

"Senior brother is in a good mood today." Mu Qingling said to Xiao Lanhuan, who walked in front of him, Xiao Lanhuan thought of what he did today, coughed twice with a dry smile, and said, "Joke, joke." Yunqiao smiled and saluted Xiao Lanwei, and then exited the pavilion to prepare refreshments. Xiao Lanwei looked at the direction in which Yunqiao left, turned around and smiled at Mu Qingling: "Chang Lin has been by my side all the year round, he has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he is from the army, so his anger is inevitably a little heavier. Younger sister take care of it. ”

Mu Qingling invited Xiao Lanwei to sit down in the pavilion, and then said: "Where can we talk about whether to take care or not, Chang Guards are upright, cautious in words and deeds, and upright, but they don't like to smile a little, the girls in the house have never seen the world, they are rare and strange, senior brother doesn't have to care." ”

Xiao Lanhuan's actions also didn't want Chang Lin to be a god in the eyes of others. His identity is sensitive, and he is away all the year round, and his life is safeguarded by Chang Lin alone, and the Empress Dowager in Beijing often sends letters to inquire, and whenever he mentions it, he must tell Chang Lin to be more careful. Day after day, he has grinded a sunny and cheerful young man into what he is now.

"Speaking of which, when Chang Lin came to my side, he had just passed the weak crown, Wuling was young, and he could provoke passers-by to throw flowers and beauties to inquire about the horses from the streets of the capital. I have been out with me for so long, and now I have worn off all the youthful spirit on my body. I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, I'm still quite guilty. Xiao Lanwei said.

It was the first time for Mu Qingling to sit down and gossip with Xiao Lanwei like this, and her heart was relaxed, so she smiled and said: "Since Chang Huwei joined the army as a young man, he must have a heart for martial arts." People who practice martial arts are the most resolute and self-controlled, besides, who can be idle all their lives? Chang Wei may not be unhappy with such a change in himself, senior brother thinks so, I am afraid that he is in love. ”

Xiao Lanwei was stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile: "That's the case, I think I'm open-minded, but I didn't expect to rely on my junior sister to solve it today." Mu Qingling tilted her head and smiled without saying a word, Xiao Lanling's eyes fell on the stone table, and she saw Mu Qingling having a paulownia wood piano in her hand, the body was black, the silk strings were shining with silver light, and one end was brown silk.

"Good piano." Xiao Lanwei couldn't help but boast: "Senior sister Shanqin? Mu Qingling looked at Xiao Lanhuan's eyes, this piano was made by everyone in Beijing, called "Phoenix Tail", and it has always been Mu Qingling's favorite thing. Mu Qingling suddenly thought of what she thought of when she first saw Xiao Lanhuan, her face flushed, and she pretended to be calm: "I don't dare to say that I am good at it, but I have learned it for a while." When I saw that the weather was good today, I took it out to breathe. ”

"Senior sister is modest, I wonder if I will have the honor to listen to my junior sister play a song?" Xiao Lanwei said with great interest. Mu Qingling thought that she had made a fool of herself in front of Xiao Lanwei several times before, and she had the intention to show it once, thought about it, raised her hands, and played an ancient tune.

For a time, the sound of the piano was murmuring and the artistic conception was far-reaching. It seems to be in the mountains for thousands of miles, full of greenery, and see the birds in the forest, and the clouds are steaming.

Xiao Lanwei is a person who understands the piano, so he naturally knows that this tune is rare. Mu Qingling only practiced for a short time, and stopped after a while. Xiao Lanwei closed her eyes and reminisced for a while, applauded and said: "Senior sister, this technique is not inferior to Jingzhong Yunen, this tune is elegant and rare, I don't know where did senior sister know?" ”

Mu Qingling successfully performed her skills, and she was a little excited in her heart. In the end, she is just a teenage girl, Xiao Lanwei is famous, those Confucian masters are not easy to praise people, whether you are a royal prince or a rich businessman, no, no. Xiao Lanhuan can be praised by those people, which shows that his skills are profound. Now that Mu Qingling was affirmed by him, he was complacent, so he said: "Senior Brother Su Wen is erudite and knowledgeable, maybe he guessed the repertoire played by Qingling today?" ”

Xiao Lan was stunned and said with a smile: "Senior sister, is this trying to test me?" Mu Qingling pursed her lips and smiled, acquiescing. Xiao Lanwei thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a hint?" Mu Qingling shook her head, and Xiao Lanling raised her eyebrows and said, "Senior sister, is this deliberately embarrassing me?" ”

"Senior brother is a great talent praised by the world, how can this little ancient tune be regarded as embarrassing senior brother?" Seeing that Xiao Lanwei seemed to have no clue, Mu Qingling made up her mind not to leak her words. Xi Wen and Xi Wu are the same, both are martial artists, and it is inevitable to compete when they meet, and readers also have the competitiveness of readers. Mu Qingling has studied since he was a child, and he also has the loftiness and pride of a literati and elegant guest, Xiao Lanling is a rare opponent, how can Mu Qingling not be tempted.

"If my sister wants to test me, she has to have some color." Xiao Lanwei said with great interest: "What does Senior Sister plan to use as a lottery?" Mu Qingling was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and asked, "What does Senior Brother want?" ”

Xiao Lanhuan stood up, looked like he was thinking hard, and said, "I want to think about it, this is a lot of money...... I have it, fame and fortune...... I'm not short either, well, it's really hard to do. It's not as good as this, what is the junior sister good at, if I guess it, the junior sister just has to do the same again, and the right to be the lottery. ”

Before Mu Qingling could speak, Yunqiao, who came up to deliver refreshments, just heard this sentence and said casually: "My girl's handwriting is very good, and no one can not boast about that small seal." Mu Qingling glared at Yunqiao, annoyed that she was fast-talking. Xiao Lanwei was happy and said, "This dare is good, if I guess it, my junior sister will write a fan for my senior brother, how about it?" ”

Xiao Lanwei smiled with a smile in her eyes, looking determined to win.

Mu Qingling nodded and asked unconvincedly, "What if Senior Brother didn't guess it?" Xiao Lanhuan leaned against the pavilion pillar, smiled at Mu Qingling with her hands, and said, "If I don't guess it, let my junior sister deal with it." ”

Mu Qingling raised her head and said, "A word is out!" ”

"It's hard to chase a horse" Xiao Lanhuan took Mu Qingling's challenge, paused, suddenly laughed, leaned over to Mu Qingling, and said softly: "Little junior sister, don't bet with others easily next time, you are so simple, how can it be good if you are deceived?" I never said I didn't know what this song was. Mu Qingling was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Lanhuan.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she happened to meet Xiao Lanhuan's eyes, since they met, she knew that Xiao Lanhuan's eyes were beautiful. Extremely bright, extremely spiritual. After looking at him for a while, I always felt that there was a sea of stars in those eyes, which was intoxicating. However, at this time, Mu Qingling had no time to pay attention to the ridicule in Xiao Lanhuan's smiling eyes, and only listened to Xiao Lanhuan say slowly: "This song is called "Qu Ling Cao", from Mr. Guangu's codex "Qingshan Ji", yes or no?" ”

Mu Qingling was teased by Xiao Lanwei again, her cheeks flushed, and she bit her lip and was embarrassed. Once again, she was once again embarrassed in front of Xiao Lanjun, and she was ridiculed if she couldn't do it, and Mu Qingling couldn't wait to find a hole to get into immediately.

"I am willing to lose the bet, say, what does my brother want me to write?" Mu Qingling waited for the heat on her face to subside a little before she said indignantly. Xiao Lanwei straightened up and said with a smile: "Senior sister is free, senior brother is not picky." ”

Mu Qingling smiled when she heard Xiao Lan's words, and felt that the shame that she had finally suppressed surged up again, and she stood up to leave. Yunqiao followed behind Mu Qingling, the two went down the rockery, Mu Qingling looked back, and saw Xiao Lanling leaning on the pavilion pillar, raised his hand and waved at her, and said loudly: "Then thank you first!" ”

"What a good prince, what do you do to look like a disciple!" Mu Qingling was angry, turned around and took Yunqiao back to Chunxi Hall.
