Chapter 36: The Benefactor

After Xiao Ze sent that Mu Gongzi away, he happily counted the money in the money bag. and called all the people in the inn to announce the matter to the group.

The other two chefs were left alone, hoping that they would exceed their cooking skills that day, and promised that they would be rewarded more after this incident. The two chefs assure.

He glanced at Mu Yu and said, "Mu Yu, this time we have a big business at the inn, I hope you can help me." ”

As soon as Jiong Yan heard this, he guessed the careful thoughts in Xiao Ze's heart.

Mu Yu saw Xiao Ze asking him for help, thinking that Xiao Ze must be in trouble. He immediately said, "We are all friends, and if we encounter any difficulties, we need my help."

You just open your mouth. I'll do my best to help you. ”

"Good brother!" Xiao Ze knew that Mu Yu would say this. Then tell Mu Yu about the fact that Mu Gongzi invited him to play a song at the birthday banquet to help the fun.

When Mu Yu heard this, he panicked: "Huh? This isn't good. In case I didn't blow well enough on that old man's birthday. What to do? ”

Mu Yu had concerns. Worrying about blowing unsatisfactory is not a fun, but a disappointment.

He may be scolded and ridiculed, it doesn't matter if he is scolded and ridiculed, what makes him really worried is that if Xiao Ze is blamed because of his reasons;

even caused the loss of the inn, which is a little sorry for Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze understood his concerns and persuaded, "Oh, don't worry." You didn't see it, after you just finished blowing, everyone immediately applauded you. It shows that you are still blowing well. ”

"Yes, Mu Yu, you have to believe in yourself." Yuruo kept encouraging.

Jiong Yan smiled: "Mu Yu, you played very well." Believe in yourself. ”

In the face of their encouragement, Mu Yu thought about it again and again, and nodded.

Xiao Ze nodded when he saw Mu Yu, and thought: It's done.

Xiao Ze seemed to see Yinzi waving to him at this time, and he couldn't hold back his excitement and laughed happily.

Xiao Ze and the chef worked together for the past two days to prepare the ingredients needed for the birthday banquet later.

Yu Ruo and Mu Yu also decorated the inn well. The whole inn was full of joy.

Soon it will be the day after tomorrow. That Mu Gongzi came as scheduled. He was followed by an old man. The old man was followed by more than a dozen men, women, and children.

Xiao Ze looked at the old man next to Mu Gongzi.

The old man had a ruddy complexion and a tough body, and he walked with an extremely steady gait. secretly guessed: "This should be today's old birthday star." ”

"Childe, you're here, please come inside." Xiao Ze immediately stepped forward. And put these people in place.

After arranging everything, I served the food with the shopkeeper.

After doing all this, Xiao Ze came to the counter and looked at the group of people quietly.

The old man raised his glass and thanked all his relatives and friends for coming to celebrate his birthday. After the old man finished his words of thanks. Everyone began to taste the delicacies.

After a while, that Mu Gongzi walked towards the counter, saw Mu Yu and asked, "Little boy, can you please play a song to help the fun?" Rest assured, you won't be allowed to play in vain. ”

Mu Yu looked at everyone and nodded.

That Mu Gongzi took Mu Yu to the old man. He said to the old man, "Dad, this is the little flute boy I told you, and I specially invited him to come and present a song for your old man." Cheer everyone up. ”

The old man looked at Mu Yu and saw that Mu Yu looked fresh and handsome. nodded at Mu Yu, "Then please play a song." "The voice is powerful and powerful.

Mu Yu took out the jade flute and began to play. These people here quietly admired. The old man closed his eyes slightly, quietly enjoying the sound of the flute.

Qu Bad. The old man opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Not bad. The sound of the flute is crisp and soft. It's wonderful. ”

When Mu Yu heard the praise of others, he blushed and said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

The old man asked the young man Mu Yan, "Mu Yan, where did you find this flute player?" The flute is melodious and the skill is superb. ”

Mu Yan smiled and said, "The day before yesterday, my friend invited me to gather at this inn, and this little boy was playing the flute.

At that time, the people in the inn listened to his flute and were full of praise. Therefore, the child also wants his father to appreciate it. ”

The old man moved his gaze to Mu Yu again and nodded, "Can you ask Childe to play another song?" ”

Mu Yu nodded happily and blew another song.

After blowing this time, the old man was very satisfied with Mu Yu's blowing, and said to his son: "Yan'er, you can't let this son blow in vain." ”

Mu Yan and Mu Yu came to the counter together.

Mu Yan took out some silver taels and stuffed them into Mu Yu's hand, "Thank you." This is your reward. Please take it. ”

After Mu Yan left the counter, Xiao Ze couldn't wait to take Mu Yu's silver.

He was reaching out for the silver when he "killed" a hand halfway through. Seeing this, he said, "Jiong Yan, what are you doing here?" ”

"This silver is for Mu Yu from them, not for you." Jiong Yan took the jade flute in Mu Yu's hand and said slowly.

"This Mu Yu doesn't know how to use silver, it's useless for him to hold it." Xiao Ze continued to reach for the silver.

"Smack"

Xiao Ze just held the silver tael, and the back of his hand was hit hard by the jade flute. Xiao Ze was so painful that he immediately let go of his hand.

"Who said that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way? Now you want to steal the silver belonging to Mu Yu without Mu Yu's consent, may I ask, is this what you call taking it in a proper way? Jiong Yan didn't give in.

When Xiao Ze heard this, he glared at Jiong Yan, and then stared at Mu Yu again.

Mu Yu couldn't stand Xiao Ze's eyes, and said to Jiong Yan: "It's useless to put this silver on me, give it to Xiao Ze." Then put the silver taels in Xiao Ze's hand.

Xiao Ze stared at Yin Liang with two eyes and said, "Mu Yu, I'm just keeping it for you." When you need silver, I will give it to you. ”

There was also a wicked smile on his face.

Jiong Yan sighed and stood silently to the side.

At this time, a woman in a light purple dress walked into the inn, she was holding a long sword, her dark and bright eyes kept turning, and her eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit.

Xiao Ze greeted him and said politely: "I'm sorry, girl, our small shop was chartered today, and we won't accept other guests for the time being." ”

The girl glanced at the inn, her gaze resting in the direction of Yan Xi. She walked straight to that side.

Xiao Ze muttered, "Oh, it turned out to be a birthday banquet. ”

The girl had just walked a few steps, but she changed direction and came to Jiong Yan's side.

The girl whispered to Jiong Yan: "Gongzi Jiong Yan, do you remember me?" ”

Jiong Yan was stunned, and glanced at the woman in the light purple dress in front of him,

I didn't find any information about this girl in my mind, so I asked, "Girl, are you?" ”

The girl in the lilac dress reminded: "My name is Mu Ying, have you forgotten, Xiaozhulin?" ”

Jiong Yan recalled carefully, looked at her carefully, and suddenly said, "It's you, girl." ”

The girl nodded, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she looked at Jiong Yan with a smile in her eyes.

Xiao Ze heard the conversation between the two and said to Mu Yu and Yu Ruo: "The two of them know each other. ”

Mu Yu and Yu Ruo also felt the same way.

"Xiaoying, this way. Come on. The boy named Mu Yan just now greeted the girl in a lilac dress loudly.

The girl immediately responded. Then he looked at Jiong Yan: "Childe, I'll come when I go." Then he walked that way.

Wait until the girl is gone.

Xiao Ze looked at the girl's figure, put his right hand on Jiong Yan's shoulder, and asked, "Who is this girl?" Do you know? ”

"There was a one-sided relationship." Jiong Yan said lightly.

"How did you meet?" Yu Ruo asked curiously.

In Yu Ruo's heart, Jiong Yan is a person who doesn't talk much, and he has made few friends.

The people he knew, except for a few of them and Tang Yi, it was estimated that there was no one else.

But this time, I met an "outsider", and this "outsider" was still a girl.

This subverted Yu Ruo's understanding of Jiong Yan.

"Tell me honestly, how did you meet?" Xiao Ze asked again in an interrogative tone.

"Forget." Jiong Yan gently spit out these two words.

"Impossible!" Three retorts in unison. Xiao Ze knew that Jiong Yan didn't want to say it.

So, the three of them used their imaginations to guess how Jiong Yan and the girl met. and told different versions of the acquaintance.

Jiong Yan remained silent. Just quietly watch the three of them perform the "open their eyes and talk nonsense" performance there.

Soon, the girl in the lilac dress just now came to Jiong Yan's side again and begged, "Childe, my father wants to see you, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

Xiao Ze heard that the girl had such a request, and he knew with his feet that this Jiong Yan would definitely refuse.

Sure enough, Jiong Yan politely refused.

Yu Ruo really couldn't help it, and didn't want to guess wildly, so he immediately asked the girl, "Girl, how did you two meet?" ”

The girl in the lilac dress smiled lightly and slowly opened her lips: "Last time, I was bitten by a poisonous snake and was poisoned. It was Gongzi Jiong Yan who detoxified the poison for me.

Jiong Yan Gongzi is my life-saving benefactor. ”

"Oh, I see." The three of them solved the mystery of their acquaintance.

Xiao Ze asked Jiong Yan, "When did this happen?" Why haven't I heard you mention it? ”

"Just after I went to find out something about Mrs. Jia, I ran into it on the way back." Jiong Yan didn't want a few people to guess anymore.

"Xiaoying, quickly introduce your father, who is your savior?" Mu Yu looked at the viewer and knew that he was today's birthday star.

"Dad, this is my savior-Jiong Yan Gongzi." The girl in the lilac dress smiled and introduced the old man.

The old man immediately clenched his fists and said to Jiong Yan: "The old man's surname is Mu, thank you for the rescue of my daughter Mu Ying." ”

Jiong Yan immediately replied, "Mr. Mu is polite. A trivial matter, not enough to worry about. ”

"Saving someone's life, is it a trivial matter? If Childe doesn't dislike it, please move and let the old man borrow a few glasses of wine to show my gratitude. Mr. Mu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Mu Yu was beside him and muttered, "This is to invite Gongzi Jiong Yan to a banquet." There was envy in his words.

Xiao Ze was worried that Jiong Yan would refuse, so he immediately winked at him and asked him to agree immediately.

Jiong Yan wanted to refuse, but seeing that Mr. Mu sincerely invited, if he refused, it would be too hypocritical;

Besides, today is Mr. Mu's birthday banquet, and if he refuses the old man, it may make the old man unhappy. He nodded and agreed.

Mr. Mu smiled happily, "Childe, please." ”

Jiong Yan said politely: "Mr. Mu, please first." ”

The three of them arrived at the guest table together. Mr. Mu introduced Jiong Yan to the seat, and arranged for Ji Yan to take a seat.

Jiong Yan waved his hand again and again and refused: "This can't be helped." ”

"What's wrong with that. You saved the life of my family's Xiaoying, and you are the benefactor of our Mu family, so you should take a seat. Mr. Mu insisted that Jiong Yan take a seat.

Jiong Yan thought that it was not appropriate for him to sit on the seat, and stood still for a long time.

"Childe, my father is right. You saved my little sister, you should indeed be seated, and please don't shirk your son. ”

"He's my brother, his name is Mu Yan." Mu Ying pointed to the person who spoke and introduced, "Master Jiongyan, you listen to my father." ”

Jiong Yan saw that the kindness was difficult, and reluctantly sat on the upper seat.

The Mu family expressed their gratitude to Jiong Yan one after another. This Jiong Yan responded very politely.
