Chapter 20 Eating Together
Xi Yan watched Xi Yu disappear into the woods, tilted her head and lay on her burden, just in time to see Mu Chen and Mu Qing sitting together talking.
"Xiaoqing, they said to let you take a ride, did they say where to go? No, follow us into Beijing all the time! Mu Chen tilted his head and looked at Mu Qing.
"I didn't say it, but they probably won't, follow us all the time!" Mu Qing held the book in her hand and looked up at Mu Chen.
"Yes! That's not necessarily, I look at that boy in Tsing Yi, always looking at you, he must be thinking about you. Wait until the next town, drop them off and let them go on their own. ”
"Yes! He's really looking at me! Mu Qing listened to Mu Chen's words, stretched her neck to look at Xi Yan, and said casually.
When Mu Chen heard this, he also turned his head to look over, and Xi Yan found that they were looking at him, so he hurriedly sat up straight and turned his head to look at the woods on the side.
"Ignore him, wait until we get to the docks, put them down, and we'll go by ourselves." Mu Chen looked at Xi Yan and turned his head and said to Mu Qing.
"Got it, big brother! Ziyun has always been by my side, it's okay. After saying that, the boy next to him still knows how to be polite. ”
"Yes! Let Ziyun not take a step away from you, you know? ”
"Got it!" Mu Qing replied to Mu Chen, raised her hand, lowered her eyes and looked at her hand again.
Xi Yan looked at the woods, and saw Xi Yu coming over with a bamboo bucket, got up and ran over with his baggage.
"Long, huh? Big brother, why are you here? Xi Yu heard a voice in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw Xi Yan stopping in front of him with his burden, and asked casually.
"That little brother, do you think that Hou Ye seems to be interesting to me!" Xi Yan stretched her neck, looked at Xi Yu and said, turned her head to look at Mu Chen, and looked at Mu Chen, who had been looking at Mu Chen, Xi Yan, who was frightened, hurriedly straightened up and turned her head slowly.
Xi Yu looked at Xi Yan's appearance, frowned, tilted his head to look at Mu Chen, smiled and nodded to Mu Chen, and then reached out and dragged Xi Yan to his seat.
"Eldest sister, don't think nonsense, his lady is sitting next to him, you look at her, she is looking at you, Master Hou will not have thoughts about you, you are a man now." Xi Yu said, turned his head and glanced at Xi Yan up and down seriously.
Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, looked down at herself, dressed as a man, then sighed, pulled her shoulders, lowered her head, and followed behind Xi Yu.
Xi Yu stopped in front of the stone, turned around and helped Xi Yan who was pulling his head, sat down, sat down himself, raised his hand to open the bamboo bucket stopper, and reached out to hand the bucket to Xi Yan's face: "Give!" Big brother!"
Xi Yan squinted at Xi Yu, raised her hand to take the bamboo bucket, held the bamboo bucket in both hands, raised her head and drank it.
At the same time, Mu Qing, who had just read the book, put down the book and turned her head to look at Mu Chen: "Hey! Big brother, don't you want them to follow me! You might as well call them over for dinner, and just say that we have booked a boat at Qiyun Wharf, so we can't continue to piggyback on them. ”
Mu Chen turned his head to look at Mu Qing, listened to Mu Qing's words, nodded again and again, and then looked up at Ziyun: "Ziyun, you go and invite them!"
"Yes! Master Hou!" Ziyun saluted Mu Chen, raised his feet and walked towards Xi Yan and them.
"Oops! Big brother, drink slowly, you drink so much, will you still eat after a while? Xi Yu looked at Xi Yan drinking water, and hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it on Xi Yan's arm.
Xi Yan put down the bamboo bucket and turned her head to look at Xi Yu: "Eat!" Do you have a meal? Those are theirs, do you think they will give you alms? Hum! ”
"I can buy it with money! Ah! Don't drink it, I won't let you go hungry!" As Xi Yu spoke, he saw Xi Yan raise the bamboo bucket again and drink it, and hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it again.
"It won't make me hungry, I've been hungry for a day!" Xi Yan forwarded and looked at Xi Yu, turned her head as she spoke, blinked her eyes, and then turned her head to look at Xi Yu: "Oh! It's not a day, it's half a day!"
Xi Yu looked at Xi Yan, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Ziyun coming over and saluting them.
Xi Yu held Xi Yan's arm, hurriedly pressed Xi Yan's arm, stood up, raised his hand and saluted back, and listened to Ziyun say: "Two sons, Master Hou is invited!"
Xi Yu straightened up, turned around and bent down and reached out to grab Xi Yan's arm.
"Hey! Wait, wait, wait! Bamboo bucket!" Xi Yan, who was drinking water with a bamboo bucket in both hands, was dragged up by Xi Yu, Xi Yan looked at the bamboo bucket in her hand and hurriedly shouted.
Xi Yu turned his head and smiled at Ziyun, then turned around and reached out to take the bamboo bucket in Xi Yan's hand. One hand lifted Xi Yan's arm upwards vigorously.
Xi Yan lifted the burden in one hand, slowly stood up, and let Xi Yu pull behind Ziyun and walked towards Mu Chen.
Xi Yan and Xi Yu walked in front of Mu Chen, Ziyun saluted Mu Chen, turned around and walked behind Mu Qing.
Xi Yu stretched out his hand and pulled Xi Yan, and turned his head to look at Xi Yan.
Xi Yan glanced at Xi Yu, raised her hand to put the burden on her shoulder, and turned her head to look at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu saw that Xi Yan had carried the burden, smiled at Mu Chen, raised his hand and saluted Mu Chen and Mu Qing, Xi Yan pouted and also saluted.
"The two sons don't have to be polite, sit down!" Mu Chen looked at Xi Yan and Xi Yu with a smile on his face, and as he spoke, he raised his hand towards the stool opposite.
Xi Yu pulled Xi Yan to sit down.
Xi Yan sat on the stool, wrapped the burden in her arms with both hands, raised her eyes to look at Mu Chen, who was sitting precariously, and saw Mu Chen smiling and nodding to her.
Xi Yan sat up straight in an instant, smiled slightly red on her cheeks and nodded.
Mu Chen looked at Xi Yan's appearance, his face instantly turned cold, he frowned slightly, and looked at Xi Yan with a straight face.
Xi Yu, who was staring at Mu Chen, followed Mu Chen's gaze, turned his head to look at Xi Yan, and saw Xi Yan's cheeks slightly red and lowered his head, his eyes widened instantly, and he reached out and pinched Xi Yan's leg: "Big brother, are you uncomfortable again?" ”
"Oh! What nonsense are you talking about? Xi Yan frowned at Xi Yu's twist and turned her head to look at Xi Yu.
"Huh! It's okay, it's okay! Xi Yu smiled and turned his head to look at Mu Chen and Mu Qing.
"Let's have some tea!" Mu Qing looked at the three of them, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, took the tea poured by Ziyun, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xi Yan.
Xi Yan turned her head to look over, pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you!" ”
After Xi Yan finished speaking, she lowered her head, reached out and picked up the teacup, put it to her mouth, was stunned for a moment, turned around and reached out to put the teacup to Xi Yu's mouth: "I was full just now!"
Xi Yu grinned at Mu Chen and Mu Qing, raised his hand to take the teacup in Xi Yan's hand, and put it on the table.
"Huh! Two sons, it's really interesting!" Mu Qing looked at the appearance of Xi Yan and Xi Yu, raised her hand to pinch the handkerchief with two fingers, blocked it in front of her nose, and looked at Xi Yan and Xi Yu with shyly squinted eyes.
Mu Chen, who had been with a cold face, turned his head to look at Mu Qing, Mu Qing saw Mu Chen turn around, raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Chen, smiled, lowered his head, and put his hands on his legs.
Xi Yu just wanted to speak, but when he saw Mu Chen and Mu Qing's appearance, he hurriedly lowered his head and stretched out his hand, picked up the teacup in front of him, took off the tea lid, and gently blew the tea.
Xi Yan looked at Mu Chen and Mu Qing and frowned: "She's so afraid of her husband!"
"Master Hou, it's time to eat!" Jun An walked to the table, bowed his head and said respectfully.
Mu Chen raised his eyes and looked over: "Let's serve!" ”
Xi Yan turned her head and saw Jun An nodded, turned around and took a step back, letting go of the maid behind her, one maid after another, holding the dish in her hand, and gently placing it on the table.
Xi Yan stretched out her head to look at the dishes on the table, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled with satisfaction: "It's so fragrant!"
"Big brother!" Xi Yu reached out and touched Xi Yan, looked down slightly at Xi Yan, and shouted softly.
"It really smells good!" Xi Yan turned her head and glanced at Xi Yu.
"Since this son likes it, let's eat more!" Mu Qing looked at Xi Yan and grinned.
When Xi Yan heard the sound, she turned her head to look at Mu Qing, looking at Mu Qing's smile, as if she was laughing at herself, then turned around and sat up straight, nodded to Mu Qing with a smile, and sat quietly.
Xi Yu saw that Xi Yan was honest, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his eyes to look at Mu Qing and Mu Chen: "Thank you two today, and thank you Master Hou for saving you yesterday!" Thanks a lot! ”
"Yes! Rescue?" Mu Qing looked at Xi Yu suspiciously, and turned her head to look at Mu Chen as she spoke: "When did it happen?" How did I not know? ”
"I went to deliver a letter to Aunt Li, and when I met it on the road, I helped out." Mu Chen smiled at Xi Yu, heard Mu Qing's words, turned his head to look at Mu Qing, and then explained.
"Oh! Then we're quite fated!" Mu Qing said, turning her head to look at Xi Yan and Xi Yu.
Mu Chen also turned his head to look over, and saw Xi Yan staring at Mu Qing intently, instantly gritted his teeth and raised his face, and turned his head to look at Ziyun behind Mu Qing: "Ziyun, go and help your young lady back to the carriage!"
Ziyun was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and saluted: "Yes!"
"Why?" Mu Qing turned to look at Mu Chen directly.
"We men speak, your daughter's family, it's not appropriate to be here, let's go to the carriage to eat!" Mu Chen looked at Mu Qing tenderly and explained softly.
Xi Yan looked at Mu Chen, pouted, lowered her head and reached out to pick up the chopsticks, reached out and grabbed a piece of cooked chicken, put it in her mouth, raised her eyes to look at Mu Qing who was helped up by the maid, and muttered in her heart: 'Xiu'en loves to die quickly!' Xiu Eun's love dies fast!'
"Come on, let's eat!" Mu Chen watched Mu Qing walk into the carriage, then turned around, raised his hand to Xi Yan and Xi Yu and said, and saw that Xi Yan had already eaten with his head down.
"Huh! Master Hou, please!" Xi Yu turned his head to look at Xi Yan again, hurriedly looked back at Mu Chen, and raised his hand with a smile.
"Yes! Together!" Mu Chen nodded to Xi Yu, raised his hand and picked up the chopsticks in front of him, and reached out to the dish.
At this time, Xi Yan also raised her hand and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the dish.
As soon as Mu Chen clamped the tail of the dish, Xi Yan stretched out her chopsticks and sandwiched them to the middle of the dish, and directly put them back in her bowl.
Mu Chen looked at the dishes on the chopsticks, which were snatched away directly, and Xi Yan didn't look at herself, she instantly gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, retracted her arm, and sandwiched the meat in front of her.
