Chapter 165: Mu He
In a flash, half a year has passed.
Mu He said that he would return at the end of spring, but it seemed that he had been delayed for a few more months because something in the state capital was too cumbersome, and it was already late summer and early autumn.
In the past half a year, Shi Qingqian has lived comfortably. Jiang Yuhua said that it was to 'inherit the family business' and was sent out to study etiquette for half a year. As for why you need to know how to inherit the family business, Shi Qingqian doesn't know.
The crown prince Shen Xuan was not confined yet, and the two sisters in the Hou Mansion also hid themselves. The troublemakers around him disappeared all of a sudden, and Shi Qingqian felt that his life was unprecedentedly pure.
If you talk about the fun in ordinary days, it is the quiz that will be held tomorrow.
The Ask Society is specially prepared for the disciples of the family. On this day, the sons who have reached the age and have a certain talent will gather in the Qilin Terrace to debate according to the debate topic of the gentleman, and whoever says it well will have the opportunity to enter the palace.
Like the women's fair, Zuo is just a great time for the children of the family to show their future. In addition, famous ladies can come here to watch, and they may have the opportunity to choose a good person for themselves.
Tomorrow and tomorrow are going to participate in the Ask Society, but Shi Ke is still walking around the streets with Shi Qingqian like a nobody, Shi Qingqian is having a good time, but he still can't help it, he took a bite of the sugar yam in his hand, blinked a pair of big eyes and asked: "Brother, tomorrow is to ask the Society, don't you participate?" ”
Shi Ke glanced at Shi Qingqian, and there seemed to be a little helplessness in his eyes, "Participate, what's wrong?" ”
"No, not much," Shi Qingqian shook his head, "I just think it, brother, you are too calm, tomorrow is the competition, you are not nervous at all, other families are holding back in the study to read, brother, you are still playing outside." ”
Shi Ke squatted down, the expression on his face was angry and smiling, he looked at Shi Qingqian helplessly, and smiled as if asking: "Tell me, why did my brother come out to play?" ”
When he asked him this, Shi Qingqian hurriedly turned his head away. She just felt too bored, so she wanted to find someone to come out to go shopping with her, and she didn't force Shi Ke to come, he wanted to come with him!
At this moment, a carriage passed along the stone road, the sound of the carriage like the sound of raindrops falling on white marble, the carriage was wrapped in silk on all sides, and the gold-encrusted windows were obscured by a curtain of pale blue crepe, so that it was impossible to see who was sitting inside.
The carriage was pulled by two large red horses with their heads held high, and walked unhurriedly through the market.
Shi Ke hurriedly pulled Shi Qingqian to the side, quietly waiting for the carriage to pass over.
Shi Qingqian looked curiously at the window of the carriage, and there seemed to be a slender figure sitting in it under the cover of light blue crepe. The two looked at each other through the window, and when the carriage walked in front of Shi Qingqian, a magnetic voice suddenly came from inside. "Wait!"
As his words ended, the carriage slowly stopped in front of Shi Qingqian and Shi Ke. Just as the two looked at each other, not knowing why, the pale blue crepe was suddenly lifted away by a slender hand.
"Woo'er!"
The man in the carriage was dressed in blue and had black hair, untied or untied, and the broken hair in his ears fluttered slightly. His skin was white and tender, faintly shiny and flowing, and his eyes shone like glass. He has a woman-like eyebrows, a face like a flower, and is so beautiful that it is impossible to distinguish the gender.
Shi Ke guarded Shi Qingqian behind him, staring at the man who was getting off the carriage, but he said to Shi Qingqian: "Er, this is ...... Your friend? ”
How could he not remember when his precious sister had met such a handsome boy, and his heart suddenly became jealous, and he completely glared at the man who had just jumped out of the carriage as an enemy.
I saw that the other party was wearing a sky-blue coat all over the place, with a dark bat pattern ribbon tied around his waist, and his figure was slender and slender, which was definitely gentle and graceful.
The other party looked at Shi Qingqian's confused expression, smiled softly, and seemed to have a warm spring breeze on his face, "Qian'er, don't you know me?" I'm Mu He! ”
"Mu Mu Mu ...... Mu He? Shi Qingqian felt the taste of a dislocated jaw for a moment.
Her mouth opened in fright, and her eyes almost popped out. Shi Qingqian had a ghostly expression on his face, and stepped forward to circle around the fake Mu He in front of him several times.
Mu He didn't care about Shi Qingqian's incredulous gaze, and raised his hand generously, as if he was a model showing clothes in the window, and showed it to Shi Qingqian with a smile.
Although Shi Ke on the side did not react as violently as Shi Qingqian, he was just as shocked.
He remembered that the son of the Mu family was a little chubby! The beautiful boy in front of him will be the little heel who only runs around behind people in his memory?
Shi Qingqian turned around several times before stopping, his eyes quickly looked up and down at the person in front of him, and his mouth was full of doubts: "Are you really Mu He?" ”
"Can this still be fake?" Mu He replied helplessly, he also knew that he had changed a little bit in the past year, and he didn't blame Shi Qingqian for not recognizing himself, so he took out the pendant he brought from the collar and showed it to Shi Qingqian, "Look, I have this!" ”
What he was holding in his hand was the beads that Shi Qingqian gave him when he was a child in order to coax Mu He, who was crying.
It's not a precious gemstone, it's just an extremely ordinary broken jade, polished into a round shape. At that time, Shi Qingqian threw it to Mu He indifferently, but he didn't expect that he would still treasure it after so many years, and even punched holes in the round jade and wore it as a pendant.
Seeing this thing that could barely be called a 'token', Shi Qingqian was willing to believe that the person in front of him was Mu He.
Looking at his eyebrows and eyes, it is also a little similar to the Mu He in his mind when he was a child. I still remember that when I was a child, I felt that Mu He must be a 'girl killer' when he grew up, and now looking at his bewitching and elegant appearance, Shi Qingqian sighed that his vision is really long-term.
"Mu He, when did you come back?" Letting down the guard in his heart, Shi Qingqian asked with a smile.
"Yesterday afternoon." Mu He replied obediently.
Although his appearance has changed a lot, Mu He's innocent and well-behaved appearance in his bones has really not changed at all.
"I heard that there was a question society tomorrow, and my father asked me to participate in it, I wanted to wait until the end of the question society to go to the Hou Mansion to find you, but today you and I are so fateful, I actually met on the street!" When Mu He spoke, his eyes were full of light that was different from ordinary people, making people feel that he was always full of hope.
Shi Ke was a little unhappy in his heart, didn't he want to watch his baby sister being arched by pigs! His face was a little depressed and he dragged Shi Qingqian back to his side, "Mu Gongzi, since you still have to ask the society tomorrow, you better go back to the house to prepare first." After I have learned it, I will bring my sister to visit you. ”
If it had been placed a year ago, after being 'persuaded to retire' by Shi Ke so harshly, Mu He would have cried aggrievedly. Today, Mu He just smiled and nodded, "What Shi Sangongzi said is extremely true, Mu He does still have some affairs that he can't get out of, and getting out of the car is just to say hello to the old man." ”
In Shi Qingqian's shocked gaze, Mu He walked unhurriedly to his carriage, "Mu He is not going back to the house, so I can't give you a ride." He looked at Shi Qingqian and smiled, "Er, remember to go and cheer for me tomorrow." ”
Shi Qingqian nodded, and Mu He bowed with confidence, "Er, Shi Sangongzi, I'll leave first." ”
Watching the carriage go farther and farther, Shi Qingqian's thoughts had not returned, she stared at the carriage blankly, and muttered: "Brother, I have only heard of the 'Eighteen Changes of the Female University', this male ...... Is it also eighteen changes? ”
