Before dawn, Hongyao carried a basin of water, from the back cover room to the main room, and finally to the east wing, she put the water down, gently knocked on the door, and a low voice came from the room.

She gently pushed the door open.

As soon as Hongyao put the basin on the basin shelf, he heard Mu Chen say, "You can clean up later, and go out with me." ”

"Isn't the eldest young master dining at the house?" Red Medicine asked.

"We ate out. Come and change my clothes. ”

Hongyao picked up a cyanotic chrysanthemum-patterned brocade robe hanging on the hanger, and Mu Chen stretched out his arms very cooperatively, enjoying Hongyao's service.

Mu Chen looked down at the red medicine who was giving him a belt, and said with a smile: "I look at you very tall, I didn't expect you to be so short." ”

Red Medicine's hand on the belt paused, and then it was like nothing had happened, and when she fastened her belt and turned to get it away, Red Medicine glanced at his back sadly.

After everything was ready, Mu Chen saw that Hongyao still didn't make any moves, just waited respectfully by his side, and Mu Chen said, "Go and pack up your things." ”

"That's it, slave."

After looking her up and down, Mu Chen said, "You just wear this clothes?" ”

Hongyao said speechlessly: Do you dislike her outfit?

"There are two other outfits, but they are both the same, it doesn't matter if you change them or not." Hongyao said calmly.

At this time, the butler came to the door and waited, "Young Master, the carriage is ready." ”

Red Medicine obediently followed behind the curtain and didn't say a word.

The two of them got into the carriage together, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was very quiet.

The moon hung far in the west, and the bright moonlight poured down on the earth, and a carriage traveled in the moonlight.

The clatter of the horses, the occasional shout of the grooms, the sound of the wheels running over the ground, make up the symphony before dawn.

The curtain dust in the car slowly closed his eyes, and Hongyao boldly stopped his gaze on his handsome face, and looked at them one by one without hesitation.

From the eyebrows to the eyes, to the bridge of the nose, to the lips.

Red Medicine was damn to find that the charm exuded by this man had a fatal temptation for women.

Such an excellent man, there is no shortage of suitors around him, but he has not yet married his own children, and Hongyao concluded that either there is a beloved woman hidden deep in his heart, or he does not like women.

One of these two possibilities must be true, otherwise it would not be possible to explain the fact that the curtain is already twenty-two, but there is still no family.

Although it is also possible that from birth to the present, Mu Chen has not met a woman who makes him excited, but this situation is very rare in large households.

They are always the right person, and rarely take into account the emotions of both men and women.

So, even if you don't have a beloved woman, there will be a woman by your side.

But Muchen, no matter which one it is, she hasn't found it yet.

"What are you staring at me?" Mu Chen opened her eyes suddenly, a pair of sharp eyes grabbed her tightly, Hongyao was startled, and instantly felt that the person in front of her was very strange.

She hurriedly bowed her head and said respectfully, "The slave should die." ”

At this time, Mu Chen's eyes began to soften, and he smiled casually: "I was fascinated by the handsomeness of this son, right?" ”

Hongyao was in a trance for a moment, looking at him in a daze, as if the sharpness she saw just now was just an illusion, she said calmly: "No." ”

Muchen stared at her, a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hongyao was worried when he saw it, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm.

"Young Master, where are we going?" Hongyao had nothing to say, in order to break the stiff atmosphere.

"The Palace." Muchen said lazily.

Hongyao stopped talking, turned his head and lifted the curtain, looking at the hazy world outside.

She looked at the outside world and let her thoughts wander.

Since Su Jiuling sent her back that night, she hadn't seen him in the shogunate again.

It was also that night that she told Su Jiuling about her life experience, although he showed a shocked and frightened look at first, but after her explanation, Su Jiuling gradually regained her calm, and quickly accepted the story of the red medicine, without even a trace of doubt.

But, why didn't Su Jiuling appear in the shogunate anymore after that night?

Said that she was not afraid, and said that she would protect her life safely.

Hongyao thought sadly, could it be that he, like the rest of the world, was afraid of her past and minded her past?

Mainly, she thought, was she afraid......

Hongyao looked at the moon in the sky, and the sky was gradually getting brighter.

Maybe that's fine, as if nothing happened, and her story isn't told to anyone. In that case, she would no longer expect someone to understand her past and be willing to be her friend.

"Is it pretty?"

Hongyao pulled back his thoughts and said blankly, "What? ”

"Outside." Muchen still smiled.

"That's it, so-so." Red Medicine shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

The carriage traveled for some time before it reached its destination.

Mu Chen was not in a hurry to go down, he sat in the car, and looked at her from top to bottom, Hongyao saw this, and immediately understood what he meant, so he said: "The slave maid is waiting for the eldest young master here." ”

"This is silver, you ask Ah Fu to take you to buy a few clothes, and we will stay here for a few days before we can go back." Mu Chen handed the silver to Hongyao's hand and commanded lightly.

After Muchen left, Hongyao stared at the silver for a long time, and then she opened the curtain in front of her, looked at Muchen's figure fading away, and frowned slightly.

"Ah Fu, you go in first." Red Medicine got out of the car and said.

Ah Fu is a groom of about fifty years old, with a kind face and a kind person.

"The eldest young master ordered me to accompany you to the market, and I can't disobey the eldest young master's order." Ah Fu grinned.

Hongyao looked up at the three big characters "Duanwangfu" written on the door plaque, and then smiled at Ah Fu: "Then you park the carriage first, and the two of us will walk over." ”

The two walked along Zique Avenue all the way, and not long after, they entered a lively alley, on both sides of the alley were shops that opened their doors to do business, and continued to walk along the alley, and after more than 100 meters, the two walked to Tongtian Avenue again.

Ah Fu looked at the wide road and the houses on the side of the road, and said, "Let's go back to the alley." ”

"There should be more than one street in this huge area, let's go look elsewhere." Red Medicine Road.

"Let's not go too far, in case the young master can't find us for something, it will be troublesome."

Hongyao pursed her lips dissatisfiedly and returned to the alley again.

The alley resounded with all kinds of shouting and selling, and it was very lively.

The two walked into a clothing shop together, and the proprietress of the shop immediately smiled when she saw the guests coming, but when she saw the poor and sour clothes of the visitors, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.

She crossed her arms on her chest, stood on the side of the door, looked at Hongyao and Ah Fu and said, "The clothes in our store are first-class from fabric to craftsmanship to tailoring. Speaking of this, the proprietress glanced up and down at the two of them, and then said, "These clothes are all sold to the ladies of big families, I see you, let's go elsewhere." ”

When Ah Fu heard this, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, he glanced at Hongyao, and saw that her face was expressionless, so he persuaded: "Let's go elsewhere." ”

Hongyao said disapprerovingly: "What's the hurry, let's take a look first." With that, Hongyao walked into the store, not caring about the ridicule of the shopkeeper at all.

Ah Fu smiled awkwardly at her and walked into the store.

The red medicine shuttled between the clothes, and the eyes carefully browsed each piece of clothing; As the proprietress said, the fabric and craftsmanship of the clothes were really good, but she couldn't find a dress that matched her heart.

Ah Fu reminded in a low voice: "The clothes here are all sold to the ladies of big families, if you buy them and wear them, it will be disrespectful to steal the limelight of the ladies in the house." ”

"I'll just take a look at it and don't buy it." Red Medicine Road.

The proprietress with sharp ears shouted at this time: "Don't buy what you look at here, go quickly, don't delay my business." ”

Ah Fu whispered, "Let's go." ”

The proprietress looked at the back of Hongyao and Ah Fu leaving, did not control her volume at all, and deliberately said loudly and disdainfully: "Although everyone has a love for beauty, you have to recognize your own identity, and you are not qualified to have it if you like it." This man must be self-aware. ”

Red Medicine turned a deaf ear to this.

When the proprietress saw people leaving the store, she said disdainfully: "A little maid also wants to buy clothes from me, it's really whimsical." ”

The two of them have been shopping for a long time, and they haven't bought a set of clothes yet, so Ah Fu is a little anxious: "Red medicine girl, we've been out for so long, and if we don't go back, I'm afraid the eldest young master will be angry." ”

"Ah Fu, you are just cowardly. The eldest young master is talking to the prince about things now, and he won't think of us at all, even if we go back, we will stay in the palace and wait, how can we be free and chic outside. ”

Ah Fu wanted to speak, but Hongyao said again: "Let's go, we've been shopping for so long, and we've been hungry for a long time, let's find something delicious first." ”

Ah Fu looked at Hongyao in surprise and hesitated: "This ......"

"If the eldest young master is to blame, it will all be pushed on me when the time comes."

Ah Fu sighed and reluctantly followed behind Hongyao.

The two of them each asked for a bowl of noodles at a small vendor, and when they were full of food and drink, Hongyao took out the silver that the curtain dust handed to her and handed it to the vendor boss, who was embarrassed: "This girl, I am doing a small business, and I can't find your silver." ”

Hongyao put the silver back in his pocket, looked at Ah Fu and said, "Ah Fu, can you lend me some silver?" ”

In the end, Ah Fu took out the only two copper plates on his body and handed them to the boss.

As the two were about to leave, the lively alley suddenly became agitated.

The crowd panicked.

A man in a fancy costume ran desperately in panic, followed by a group of soldiers in official uniforms who ran in pursuit, led by a fierce-looking man riding a tall horse.

The man shouted, "Stop, if you are running, I will kill you on the spot!" ”

When the fleeing man heard this, he was terrified, and as he ran, he looked around the crowd with his small eyes, and the man behind him said, "Bring me arrows!" ”

Sure enough, Hongyao saw someone respectfully offering the arrow feather.

The riots in the crowd are getting worse.

The fleeing man turned around, knelt down with a thud, and cried and begged for mercy from the man in charge, but the man had already drawn his longbow, and he had the momentum of being ready to fly.

Everyone was holding their breath and fearing.

The man opened his right hand lightly, and with a whoosh, the arrow was fired at the fleeing man, whose eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and his eyes trembled with fear, staring at the arrows that were rushing towards him.

Everyone in the alley was holding their breath, sweating for the fleeing man.

Who knew that this arrow suddenly changed direction in the middle and shot straight at the red medicine, and everyone gasped and shifted their eyes incredibly.

Hongyao's eyes widened, looking at the sharp arrow with horror, she took a few steps back, and the arrow did not stop at all, and it was about to shoot at the door of Hongyao's head.

At that critical moment, she decisively stretched out her right hand and grabbed the arrow that was rushing towards her in time.

The arrow was straight into Hongyao's eyes, only a little away from her.

Hongyao's eyes widened in horror, his heart was pounding, as if a big drum was beating, and he was about to jump out of his chest, and Hongyao's forehead was covered with a layer of sweat.
