Located in the east of Canglan Courtyard, the main hall of the Mu family is dedicated to receiving distinguished guests, and the door has been locked for many years.

Today, a row of doors facing east are all opened, and the hall is covered with felt carpets, and the desks are almost dust-free, and the fruits and seasonal flowers that can be eaten at this time of year are placed.

It was the highest courtesy.

Mu Cangping and Chang Jihai were the main and one guest, sitting on both sides of the main case facing the door. Chang Jihai was eating tea, and Mu Cangping was looking at a long yellow silk with a black jade shaft.

Silk is bright yellow, and it is the color that can only be used by heaven.

- This is a holy decree.

"It's overstepping." Chang Jihai put down the teacup, just as Mu Cangping finished reading the holy decree and closed the scroll. When the words are right.

"The old lady is serious." Mu Cangping said with a smile: "It is an honor for the little girl to be able to enter Changjiabao to listen to the training. ”

Bow humbly, "Disturb the old lady." ”

Chang Jihai nodded, "The alliance leader is polite." Turning his gaze to Mu Dianke on the left-hand side, he stopped less, and was extremely kind, "This kid is Minghui, I like it too, and I can't talk about bothering." ”

After humbling each other for a while, this is the main topic.

Chang Jihai tea has also eaten, holding the cup with both hands, and said slowly: "Today's door to disturb is mainly for three things: this is one of them, there is no need to say it." Second, I want to ask for a family favor for my immature grandson. Cangping also knows that although these two children have not known each other for a long time, their relationship is good, and they are engaged for life in private. Young and young. I think, how can there be a preference for parents in the world to be screwed with their children, they have chosen their own family affairs, we follow a ready-made, but also worry-free, how about the peace? ”

Mu Cangping smiled, and there was a rare joy in Qingyuan's eyebrows, "Chang Gongzi has a clean character and a successful young man, if he has a good relationship, it is really a little girl's luck." ”

Mu Ziyan pursed his lips, he really couldn't get used to Mu Cangping's hypocritical and polite face.

He has only seen Chang Qianfo a few times, and he knows what kind of character he has, and he doesn't fancy Chang Jiabao's wealth!

I forgot to serve the alliance leader's shelf.

It was a major matter related to Mu Dianke's marriage, and he couldn't help but not dismantle the stage.

The dowry did not follow the ox cart, it was sent by Chang Jiabao later, Ling Fu personally went to the gate to answer, and at this time he happened to walk in with a red wooden box wrapped in copper with four corners.

"We are all from the rivers and lakes, and we don't talk about so many rules, so I just rely on this age, try to be lazy, come out, and do all the gifts that should be done."

Ling Fu stepped forward, put the wooden box on the main case between Chang Jihai and Mu Cangping, and opened it in front of everyone.

The space in the box is spacious, the grid is open in three layers, a pair of Geng stickers are placed on the top, a pair of live geese lie at the bottom of the box, and there are three volumes of gift orders with a length of six inches embedded in the middle.

Ling Fu asked Mu Cangping to take it.

"This is the dowry and dowry, please accept it, and the real thing will be delivered early tomorrow morning."

This time, in addition to the invitation and personal welcome, the remaining four items in the "Six Rites" - Nacai, asking for names, Najib and Nazheng have all been done.

There is no precedent for this.

But Chang Jihai is more than ancient and old, and he went out of the mountain to propose his relatives, but his sincerity is full.

Two of the three things are left, and the last one remains.

"Let's go out and wait." Chang Jihai turned his head to look at Mu Dianke and said in a kind tone.

Mu Cangping understood.

The rest of the hall also withdrew.

Rows of heavy, carved wooden doors closed one after the other.

Everyone standing outside is an old man, and looking at this formation, you know what is about to happen inside.

There was a faint hint of excitement in the anxiety.

I don't want to be in my lifetime, but I am lucky enough to experience a once-in-a-century pinnacle battle.

For those who practice martial arts, there is nothing more exciting and exciting.

The hall was silent.

It was only a matter of a moment, about ten breaths, that everyone had just become nervous and excited, and the two doors of the main seat were opened.

Chang Jihai and Mu Cangping walked out one after the other.

Looking through the open doorway, the hall is well furnished, and nothing is out of place.

There is no trace of a fight!

The only evidence that can prove that the two men have fought each other is that Mu Cangping's sword is not in the sheath. Beautiful book bar

The sword was in Mu Cangping's hand, but it was not a posture in battle. That grip is more like someone holding the hilt of the sword upside down and handing the sword back to him.

The person who handed the sword was naturally Chang Jihai.

There was a dead silence.

——The first sword in the world, Mu Cangping, the leader of the martial arts alliance who has not been defeated since he came out of the rivers and lakes, was actually snatched of his sword in battle?

Chang Jihai still has the same gait as when he came, with a rickety back, walking neither fast nor slow, just like an ordinary old man.

But everyone was in awe, and no one dared to despise him in the slightest.

Mu Dianke walked away with Chang Jihai.

In two lines, the old man put his hand on Mu Cangping's hand holding the sword, patted it lightly, and his voice was as old as a sigh.

"It's been a long time, it's time to rest."

***

The red pine on the waterfront is photographed.

Mu Dianke glanced back at the end of the carriage road, confirmed that no one came, and was stunned, so he lifted his skirt and boarded the boat.

The light boat broke off the shore and went away.

"Wait! Little Four and so on—"

A call came from afar, and a mixed figure of red, green and blue rushed towards the East Pine Beach.

It's Liao Seventeen!

Among the people she knew, only Liao Seventeen would wear such clothes.

"Little Four...... Whew-" Liao Qiqi paused the food box at his feet, his hands on his knees and gasped, "I'm tired to death, I can be regarded as catching up with you." ”

"Xiaolan gave it to you." Breathing a little better, she squatted down and brought out a bowl of noodles from the food box.

Seeing the situation in the bowl, she couldn't help but let out a "huh", revealing a disgusted expression,

Running all the way, the noodle soup was spilled, leaving a shallow half bowl, dry and lumpy, and a poached egg with white jade and gold in the middle was frozen.

Mu Dianke sat on the shore, eating the bowl of noodles that had been cold and tasteless, tears fell into the bowl, salty and astringent, and she swallowed the noodles.

Liao Qiqi also cried, "Little Four, don't be too sad. You didn't do anything wrong, so why can't you just give it back if she only harms you? ”

But what is the world that can be explained only by right and wrong?

She killed her own brother, whom she had loved since she was a teenager, and perhaps the only woman she had ever loved.

His mother died, no one cared about him, and he didn't have anyone to cherish.

He once said: Xiao Si'er and Lan Lan are his most important people.

……

But he eventually forgave her.

***

Xinma came out of Luoyang and ran to the vast rivers and lakes in all directions.

Mu Cangping issued a maple flame order.

In addition to urgently summoning the two pavilion masters of the Sword Pavilion Li Mubai and the Sword Pavilion Nan Pengye to come to Luoyang quickly, they also advertised various sects: the martial arts conference originally scheduled for the autumn of the next year will be advanced to the twentieth month of the lunar month.

The boulder was thrown, and the wave was in an uproar.

People speculated that it might be related to Chang Jihai's abnormal appearance in the mountain, but Mu Men was silent, and no one knew what happened after Chang Jihai entered Mu Mansion.

Early the next morning, the green water lake outside Changjiabao was full of red boats, and boxes of bridal gifts wrapped in red silk were carried out from the east, west and south ferries, winding for several miles, converging at the largest three-way intersection in the east of the city, spreading out into a vast and unbridled red sea.

A long trickle flowed into the Mu family's mansion in Hongli Lane.

It lasts from early morning until dusk.

However, what is unbelievable is that the two parties involved in this grand appointment, Chang Qianfo and Mu Dianke, are not in their respective positions.

Chang Jihai personally sent Chang Qianfo out of Luoyang the day before, and a holy decree from Jiankang allowed Mu Dianke to enter Changjiabao in advance.

This year is destined to be a year of frequent strange things and extremely unusual.
