Mu Hanqing turned around, and the bamboo that had just been bent by Xin'er shook back and forth a few more times, and gradually calmed down. Mu Hanqing's back was tight, and he covered his back and looked at the wall. The initiator has already taken advantage, and he has already gone down the wall at this moment, and he is silent, and the palace wall is empty. Mu Hanqing became more and more angry.

There is no wind on this day, it is a rare good weather in spring, and it is impossible for the bamboo to smoke Mu Hanqing by itself, someone must have pulled it from the wall, so that the bamboo bent and hit the back with extra pain. Mu Hanqing asked himself if he had not offended any people in the garden except for the matter of the landlord. But the Tujia girl is delicate and delicate, even if she learns from her father, she can play Tai Chi twice, and she is not like a person who can climb the wall and trees. Who is it that has to get along with him?

Xin'er climbed down the wall and slid down the trunk of the tree to the outside of the pavilion. The anger accumulated against Mu Hanqing for many days can be regarded as subsiding. She calmly patted the dirt on her body and slipped away.

Mu Hanqing couldn't find anyone to trick him, so he had to give up. It's just that Wu Mingzhe still doesn't give up: "Brother Mu, how do you recruit insects?" ”

Wu Mingzhe's back hurt, and he really didn't want to say more: "The owner of the house, I want to take leave... "Wu Mingzhe wanted to come and help Mu Hanqing rub it, but was stopped by Mu Hanqing: "It hurts, I hurt." If you want to recruit insects, take your leave! ”

Mu Hanqing endured the pain and walked away crookedly.

Mu Hanqing had flowers blooming on his back, and he took three days off this leave. The silt has been piled up, and Hong Xin'er and Wu Mingzhe are busy making the big hall and the Fucui Pavilion. The craftsman was quite competent, and with the maneuvering of Lord Wei and the deployment of some manpower, the pillar was soon erected. Everything is going smoothly, and if you step up, the beams of the main hall and the capping of the pavilion can be caught up.

It's just that the mud that has been piled up has become a problem for the garden. In the past three days, Yunning City has been windless weather, and Xin'er originally wanted to take advantage of the spring breeze to dehydrate the silt, but it seems that it will not work. Even though the surface of the silt is a little dry, the inside of the silt pile is still very wet.

In desperation, Lord Wei gave everyone an idea: "Don't be anxious about the soil master, since the mud is piled up in one place and can't be dried thoroughly, why don't you spread it out and take a look?" ”

When Xin'er heard this, it was not unreasonable, so she consulted with Wu Mingzhe to let these craftsmen spread out the large pile of silt, but it didn't seem to be of much use. The amount of silt is large, and it is not easy to flatten directly, so it is still necessary to have some thickness to scrape off after drying.

Mu Hanqing's back injury was scabbed, and he was worried about the affairs of the Imperial Garden, so he came to work on an errand. As soon as they entered the garden, they saw Hong Xin'er and Wu Mingzhe with more than a dozen craftsmen, one holding a fan in his hand, surrounding a puddle of silt, and vigorously fanning the fan.

Mu Hanqing walked over, full of suspicion, and asked, "The owner of the house, what do you mean by waiting for this?" ”

"The idea of the landlord is that this can be faster than the spring breeze and blowing."

Mu Hanqing really couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't expect that the Tujia girl had always been smart, but this time she was stupid. Since he wants to secretly help the owner of the land to succeed, he must no longer sit idly by: "The owner of the house, stop quickly, just these few fans are useless." I have a way, you can bring a few people with me. ”

Wu Mingzhe took a few craftsmen and left with Mu Hanqing. The craftsmen who stayed behind looked at each other, not knowing whether to continue fanning: "The owner of the soil, do you still want to fan?" ”

"Fan, the fan will dry quickly for a moment, and the fan will be fast." Hong Xin'er said on her lips, and her subordinates didn't stop for a moment, fanning themselves. The craftsman didn't stop seeing the main thing, and it was not good to ask any more questions, just fan.

About an hour later, Wu Mingzhe and Mu Hanqing finally came back, a group of people each carrying two stoves in their hands, and the last two carried a large basket of black charcoal.

Hong Xin'er saw that they had brought these, and she was puzzled: "Master Mu, are you going to use a stove to dry?" ”

"Exactly."

"But if it's drying like this, even if it's fast, the dry mud will be tangled into lumps, how can it be used to plant trees and grass?"

Mu Hanqing couldn't say too much secret to Xin'er, he bent down and put down the stove: "If you want to do it, you can do it, if you don't do it, go and see the pavilion." ”

Xin'er had already explained the Fucui Pavilion to a few old craftsmen, and there was no shortage of manpower over there, so she had to follow Mu Hanqing's words and squatted down to help light the stove.

The charcoal fire was ignited, and these black carbons were all left over from the Internal Supervision Department, and the condition was not very good, and after a while, the faces of the people who lit the stove were covered with black ash. Xin'er's eyes were a little spicy, she raised her hand and wiped it, sweat mixed with black ash, and the black ash directly turned into black lines, hanging under her eyes, which was very interesting.

Mu Hanqing also found a fan and said to everyone: "Let's squat down and fan, this time it's all hot air, it's much easier to do." ”

Everyone did as they said, Mu Hanqing fanned for a while, and then sweated, he wiped his face like Xin'er, and also hung the underworld, which seemed to be more serious than Hong Xin'er's face.

Hong Xin'er saw Mu Hanqing like this, and laughed that he was an old student who sang flowers, Mu Hanqing heard that she compared herself to the ninth-rate, and she was not convinced, and ironically Xin'er's face was no better than the wild cats outside.

One of the two really had a grudge, and the other wanted to pretend to be suspicious, so when the opportunity came, he pinched it with a fan. Seeing this, the house on the side of the house was busy persuading: "You two don't want to make trouble again, everyone is on an errand together, how can you always fight when you don't agree with each other, don't lose your dignity, stop it!" The wood is in charge, good men don't fight with women, and let the soil be in charge. ”

"Why should I let her? I don't. After that, Mu Hanqing deliberately pinned Xin'er's fan with the back of the fan, but Xin'er had little strength and didn't hold it. The fan fell and got the mud that hadn't dried.

Xin'er was in a hurry, and she didn't care about getting dirty when she picked up the fan, so she came around and slapped a fan on Mu Hanqing's back, which happened to hit Mu Hanqing's freshly scabbed wound.

"Oops!" Mu Hanqing couldn't hold back the pain and screamed.

The two of them were wide-eyed, and they were about to start, but when Ya Mingzhe was about to pull, he heard a woman shouting from a distance: "Let me see who provoked my brother Mu?" ”

Hong Xin'er followed the prestige, and saw a young woman dressed in a powder blue satin skirt, about seventeen or eighteen years old, combing a hairpin bun, and a kingfisher pearl swaying on one side, swaying with the woman's steps, flashing a soft luster. Hibiscus face, willow eyebrows, autumn eyes with waves, red lips lightly, at first glance, she is an authentic official daughter, that whole body style, it seems that her father's official position must not be low.

Behind the woman was a little maid, holding a food box and a large teapot, and followed behind the master.

The woman approached Mu Hanqing and said softly, "Brother Mu, are you okay?" Qingyan made steamed dumplings at home today, and came to give my father some tastes. I heard that Brother Mu led someone to coax the mud with a stove, so I came to bring some tea to quench everyone's thirst. Tell me quickly, how did that flower-faced woman provoke you? Let my father cure her. ”

Hong Xin'er didn't know who was coming, and when she saw her tone, she was afraid that something would happen, so she shrank to the side and asked an old craftsman in a low voice: "Elder Wang, do you know who this girl is?" ”

Old craftsman Wang is a sincere person, covered his mouth with his hand, and replied in a low voice: "She is Lord Wei's daughter, Miss Wei Qingyan." ”

When Xin'er heard this, the green tendons on her forehead jumped, and she said in her heart: How is this good, just look at this Miss Wei's eyes, you know that she must be interested in Mu Hanqing, this time it is really a bit of a big trouble. Xin'er unconsciously hid behind the tall Wu Mingzhe, peeking and waiting for Mu Hanqing to react and then improvise.

When Mu Hanqing saw that Miss Wei was coming, she felt uncomfortable for no reason, and she didn't even accept the tea handed over by Miss Wei: "Miss Wei, if you are not thirsty, share it with others." The woman just now was the new head of our Ministry of Works, not a flowery woman. Miss Wei, please be cautious. ”

"It turns out that this is Lord Wei's daughter, and I am fortunate to meet her. Xiaoshengwu Mingzhe is also the new director, which is polite. Remembering the principles taught to him by his father, he would greet the children of the big man warmly when he saw him.

Hong Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was safe, so she flashed out. Unexpectedly, when Miss Wei saw her showing her head, she reached out and pushed Xin'er, causing Xin'er to sit on the ground one by one.

"It's just a nine-grade master, and he dares to hurt my brother Mu, I want you to look good!" Wei Qingyan didn't mean to let Xin'er go at all, and raised his foot to kick Xin'er: "You are also worthy?" ”

No, as soon as Wei Qingyan's feet were raised, Mu Hanqing and Wu Mingzhe both blocked in front of Xin'er: "Miss Wei, please respect yourself." ”

Wei shook his sleeves lightly and had to give up. He called the maid and left.

It turned out that Wei Qingyan happened to be invited to accompany the five princesses in the palace on the day Mu Hanqing met Lord Wei, and happened to meet Mu Hanqing. Mu Hanqing's handsome face made Wei Qingyan fall in love at first sight and wanted to get close. Lord Wei also asked Mu Hanqing privately what he meant, but Mu Hanqing was always hesitant. Lord Wei loves talents, and it is not easy to force Mu Hanqing in the marriage of his children.

The day before yesterday, Wei Qingyan heard that Mu Hanqing was injured, and he also made trouble to go to Mu's house to meet someone, but she was scolded by her father before giving up. Today can be regarded as an opportunity to send steamed balls, where is she willing to let go? When she came, she sent tea to the imperial garden under the pretext of sending tea, and Lord Wei knew her thoughts, so it was not easy to stop her, otherwise she would not be able to explain to the fifth princess, so she would go.

On the way back, Wei Qingyan was uneasy, and said to the little maid: "Xiaotong, what do you say is good about that flower-faced girl?" Why does Brother Mu want to protect her? ”

"Miss, according to the slave, not only the master of the wood protects her, but also the master of the house. Looking at her dusty face, where can she compare with our young lady? ”

"That's right." Wei Qingyan turned his head to Xiaotong and smiled: "Why didn't I think of it? The one surnamed the house seems to be very interesting to the earth girl, and it is tightly blocked. If the earth girl follows him, then Brother Mu will definitely be my person. Wei Qingyan took the food box in Xiaotong's hand: "You go and help me pass a message, and call the owner of the house to see me in the back hall." ”

Wu Mingzhe heard the news from the back hall, and he didn't know what Miss Wei was looking for him to do here, so he had to salute: "Miss Wei is well." ”

"Don't be polite, sit down."

After Wu Mingzhe sat down, Wei Qingyan handed him a cup of tea: "The owner of the house, work hard, drink a cup of tea." ”

Wu Mingzhe took a sip and smirked: "It's not hard, it's not hard." I don't know what Miss Wei is doing when she asks me to come here? ”

"I'm not going around the bush anymore." Wei Qingyan also took a sip of tea: "The owner of the house has ulterior motives for the owner of the land, am I right?" ”

Suddenly seeing through his thoughts, Wu Mingzhe was a little uncomfortable, lowered his head and said: "I can't hide it, I really want to please the landlord, but so far it has not worked." ”

When Wei Qingyan heard this, he smiled: "If you want to take it, you must give it first, can the owner of the house know the story of Princess Xiang?" ”

"I know."

Wei Qingyan took another sip of tea: "Why doesn't the owner of the house follow Princess Xiang's horse, let the owner of the land fall from a high place, and then do the heroic thing of saving beauty?" ”

"This..."Wu Mingzhe hesitated a little: "The girl's family likes this?" ”

"I'm also a girl's family, if someone treats me like this, I'm afraid I'll have to send it secretly."

Wu Mingzhe didn't know that this Wei Qingyan had been arrogant since he was a child, and he had always been a bold person who spoke and did things, and it was not strange that this came from her mouth. Although Wu Mingzhe was a little frightened, he could only respond and dare not refute?

"Then..."Wu Mingzhe asked, "According to Miss Wei, what should be done next?" ”
