Chapter Twenty-Three: Mutual Dislike
As soon as Mu Qing bowed her head and saluted, Mu Chen reached out and held Mu Qing's arm, pulled Mu Qing, and turned around to leave.
"IβWhat are you pulling her away for?" As soon as Xi Yan wanted to introduce herself, she saw Mu Chen pulling Mu Qing to turn around and leave, and then raised her hand to grab Mu Qing's other wrist, and raised her eyes to glare at Mu Chen.
Mu Qing stood in place, and as soon as she turned around, she was suddenly grabbed by Xi Yan and turned her head to look over.
Mu Chen was pulled, and when he heard Xi Yan's words, he turned to look at Xi Yan.
Xi Yu hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hand to hold Xi Yan's hand, and pulled it off Mu Qing's wrist forcefully.
Mu Chen took a step forward, Mu Qing withdrew the hand that had been grabbed by Xi Yan, turned around and stood behind Mu Chen.
Xi Yu stopped Xi Yan with one hand and stood between Xi Yan and Mu Chen: "Master Hou, she didn't mean to offend Miss Mu, please let Master Hou calm her anger!" β
Mu Chen put his hands behind his back, his face darkened, and he glared at Xi Yan.
"Brother! He shouldn't have meant it, let's go! Mu Qing, who was standing behind Mu Chen, raised her eyes slightly to look at Xi Yan, slowly raised her hand, gently tugged at Mu Chen's robe, and said softly.
"Humph!" Mu Chen glared at Xi Yan, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves vigorously, turned around and walked out of the inn quickly!
Mu Qing watched Mu Chen walk in front of her, turned her head and raised her eyes to look at Xi Yan and them, hurriedly lowered her head, raised her hands, saluted Xi Yan and Xi Yu, turned around and lifted her dress, walked out of the inn, and walked towards Mu Chen.
Xi Yan watched Mu Chen lead Mu Qing and the others, walked over from the inn, pouted, raised her hand and patted Xi Yu's shoulder, turned around and walked to her desk.
Xi Yu glanced at the door, followed Xi Yan to the table, sat down, and turned his head to look at Xi Yan: "Eldest sister, you just said that you want to be good, why is it that as soon as the Hou Ye comes, you, you!"
"I'm just how! Sick? Xi Yan stretched out her hand to grab the dish, and when she heard Xi Yu's words, she raised her eyes and glanced at Xi Yu, and said casually.
"Yes!" Xi Yu nodded lightly.
"Well, what a good! You didn't see that guy messed with me!" Xi Yan raised her eyes and glanced at Xi Yu, said casually, lowered her head and ate.
"Eldest sister, no matter how you say that he is also a Hou Ye, you will not provoke him in the future. He should be for my mother's sake, so he doesn't care about us!" Xi Yu lowered his head and pondered, and said to Xi Yan.
"For your mother's sake?" Xi Yan chewed the rice in her mouth, turned her head to look at Xi Yu, and said casually, Xi Yu nodded, and continued to ask, "How does he still know your mother?" β
"Alas!" Xi Yu sighed and turned her head to look at Xi Yan: "Eldest sister, it's not my mother, it's our mother." β
"Oooh! Our mother!" Xi Yan held the bowl full of rice with both hands, looked at Xi Yu and nodded vigorously, and after speaking, she reached out and grabbed the dish again.
Xi Yan lowered her head and took the rice, opened her mouth to take a bite, and turned her head to look at Xi Yu: "Then how did they meet, one is in the capital and the other is in this small place." β
"I don't know, I think my mother met when she was young!" Xi Yu reached out and picked up the chopsticks on the bowl, raised his eyes to look at the dishes on the table, and explained casually.
"When my mother was young, hehe!" When Xi Yan heard Xi Yu's words, she turned her head to look at Xi Yu, was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to cover her mouth, laughed, and then turned her head to look at Xi Yu, and continued: "When my mother was young, that guy shouldn't be able to leave, right?" β
"Huh! It seems to be too!" Xi Yu put the vegetables on top of the white rice in the bowl, and when he heard Xi Yan's words, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then nodded in response.
"Don't be cranky, they're all gone. If you can't meet it in the future, hurry up and eat and rest early! I'm tired of riding in a carriage today. Xi Yan held the bowl in both hands, put the bowl of rice on the table, turned her head to look at Xi Yu, and after speaking, picked up the bowl and ate the vegetables.
Xi Yu nodded, picked up the bowl, and Sven ate his meal.
Half an hour later, Xi Yan and Xi Yu drank tea and rinsed their mouths, got up together and walked up the stairs, each walked to the door of their room, pushed the door open and walked into the house.
At this time, Mu Chen and Mu Qing walked on the street and walked towards the dock.
"Big brother, why do you hate that son so much?" Mu Qing walked beside Mu Chen, glanced at Mu Chen sideways, and asked softly.
"He's so unruly!" Mu Chen stopped, raised his eyes to look ahead, thought for a while, and turned his head to look at Mu Qing.
"Oh! But I'm fine with him!" Mu Qing stopped at Mu Chen's side and raised her eyes to look at Mu Chen.
"You! How can you, a girl who has not yet been married, say such a thing!" When Mu Chen heard Mu Qing's words, his face instantly turned cold, he stared at Mu Qing and said, raising his face and looking ahead: "Ziyun, help your young lady go!"
Mu Qing lowered her head in fright by Mu Chen's appearance, raised her eyes and quietly looked at Mu Chen, and then was helped by Ziyun who came over and turned around and walked forward.
Jun An stood behind Mu Chen, watched the maids follow Mu Qing forward, and looked at Mu Chen with a sideways face: "Master Hou, are you too fierce to Miss today?"
"Let's go back!" Mu Chen looked ahead, Mu Qing in the maid, took a deep breath, said casually, and walked forward.
Jun An nodded, followed Mu Chen quietly, and walked towards Qiyun Wharf.
A moment later, Mu Chen and Jun An walked into the cabin and walked to the door of the room in the cabin.
Mu Chen stood at the door of his room, stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the next room, and then turned his head to look at Jun'an: "Should I go to see Qing'er?"
"According to the opinion of his subordinates, it is better for Master Hou to take a look!" Jun An raised his hands, leaned over and bowed his head to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen looked at Jun An who stood up straight, nodded, turned around and walked to the next room, stood at the door, and looked at Jun An with a side face: "Knock on the door!"
Jun An was stunned for a moment, looked at Mu Chen sideways, then slowly turned his head, raised his hand and knocked on Mu Qing's door.
"Who?" Ziyun's voice came from inside the house.
Jun An turned his head to look at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen lowered his head and pursed his lips, turned around and walked to the door of his room.
Jun An turned his body and looked at Mu Chen who walked by him, and was stunned in place.
Mu Chen stretched out his hand and pushed open his door, turned his head to look at Jun An, and walked into the room with his feet raised.
Jun An turned his head left and right to look at the corridor in the cabin, glanced back at Mu Qing's door, lowered his head and coughed lightly, and raised his eyes to look at Mu Qing's door: "Sorry Miss, Jun An knocked on the wrong door!"
Jun An quickly finished speaking, turned around and walked to Mu Chen's house, walked in quickly, turned around and closed the door casually.
When Jun An turned around, he saw Mu Chen standing by the bed, with his back to him, undressing, and Jun An was stunned at the door.
Mu Chen took off his outer robe, took his clothes, walked to the hanger next to the bed, raised his hand on the hanger, and looked sideways at Jun An, who was standing at the door looking at him: "You go and rest!" I don't have to guard here!"
"Yes!" Jun An bowed his head in response, turned around and opened the door, walked out with his feet raised, and closed Mu Chen's door casually.
Mu Chen watched Jun An close the door, turned around and walked to the bed, sat down, turned around and slowly lay on the bed, and closed his eyes tightly.
Mu Chen, who fell asleep unconsciously, began to dream.
In the fog, Mu Chen was standing on a big boat, and Xi Yan was sitting on a small boat, rowing the oars in her hand hard.
Mu Chen stood quietly on the splint of the big ship, watching Xi Yan chase after his boat.
Suddenly, the big boat stopped, Mu Chen's figure shook, turned to look around, the empty white mist, quickly ran to the guardrail next to the boat, looked down, and saw Xi Yan crawling on the hull with both hands, grinning evilly, smiling to himself.
"Ahh Mu Chen shouted, opened his eyes, and looked at the somewhat dim cabin roof, Xi Yan's evil smile still appeared in his mind.
With a squeak, the door was pushed open, Mu Chen turned his head to look, and saw Jun'an rushing in.
"Master Hou!" Mu Chen looked at Jun An who stopped at the door, held the bed with his hand, sat up slowly, smiled and shook his head at Jun An: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare!"
Jun An nodded to Mu Chen, turned around and walked to the door, raised his hand and waved to the door, and then turned sideways to get out of the way, and saw the maids holding a basin of water, from Jun An, to Mu Chen's bedside.
Mu Chen looked at the maid who walked in, raised his hand and lifted the quilt covering his body, turned around and held the side of the bed with his hand, and stood up.
Mu Chen stood beside the bed, the maids dressed Mu Chen, and waited for Mu Chen to wash, and then retreated in unison.
"Can Qing'er get up?" After Mu Chen washed and dressed, he turned to look at Jun An who was standing on the side.
"Back to Hou Ye, the young lady has already gotten up, waiting for Hou Ye on the splint, and have breakfast!" Jun An lowered his head and replied respectfully.
"Let's go!" Mu Chen said a word to Jun An, raised his feet and walked to the door.
After a while, Mu Chen walked out of the door of the cabin, and at first glance, on the wide plywood, a beautiful girl wearing a flower hairpin sat next to a round wooden table.
"Qing'er is really beautiful again today!" Mu Chen walked to the table, looked down at Mu Qing, and said with a smile.
"Humph! Brother, don't coax me, I've been fine a long time ago, it was indeed my sister's yesterday!" Mu Qing looked up at Mu Chen.
"Huh! It's good not to be angry, it's good not to be angry! Mu Chen smiled and sat next to Mu Qing.
The maid walked to the table with the food box and put the dishes on the table in the same way.
Mu Chen and Mu Qing were just about to eat, when they saw Boss Liu leading a few men with goods on board and walked onto the boat.
Mu Chen got up and said a few words politely to Boss Liu, and Boss Liu led the people into the cabin.
At this time, Xi Yan and Xi Yu walked to Qiyun Wharf, and Xi Yan looked at the large and small wooden boats: "Wow! What a boat! Xi Yu, look at that ship, it's so big! β
"Yes! These ships are really big! Xi Yu was carrying the burden and standing beside Xi Yan, and he was stunned.
Xi Yan watched the sailors on the side of the ship busy loading things, looked at it for a while, turned her head to look at Xi Yu, saw that Xi Yu was still sighing, raised her hand and nudged Xi Yu: "Hey! Wake up, we need to find the ship!"
"Huh! Eldest sister, it's a reminder!" Xi Yu turned his head to look at Xi Yan, nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled by Xi Yan to the boat on the dock.
Jun An, who was standing beside Mu Chen, raised his eyes to look at the busy sailors under the ship, and inadvertently saw Xi Yan pulling Xi Yu over and looking down at Mu Chen.
