Chapter Eighty-Four: Peace in the Family and Country

Mu Yi paused, and then said seriously, "If you really like the rumor, I won't stop the two of you." ”

"I'm not going to let her be bullied." Like, Xie Chongning felt that he couldn't talk about it, but he was willing to take care of that girl, and no one dared to bully her by his side.

Mu Yi cooperated with her sister to do so many things, that is, so that the rumor could not be bullied, "Okay, the gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase." If Xie Chongning does what he says, what else does he have to scruple about.

Xie Chongning was silent for a while, then stopped at the door of a jewelry store, this shop is an old shop, and it is also famous in the capital, "I'll leave for a while." ”

Mu Yi nodded, and did not ask Xie Chongning's whereabouts.

When Mu Yu turned around, Xie Chongning was gone, and asked, "Where is Brother Xie?" Isn't it lost? ”

"Lord Xie is such a big person, how can he get lost." Lin Wanyun smiled and leaned on her shoulder, "Maybe I went to buy a gift behind your back." ”

"Gifts?" Mu Yu was puzzled, "You can guess, it's so decent, why did Brother Xie buy me a gift." ”

Lin Wanyun flattened her mouth and pointed to the hosta on her head, "I don't know whether to say that you are thrifty or nostalgic, why are you still wearing this peach blossom hairpin that my eldest brother gave you?" I just saw Master Xie look at your hairpin several times. ”

Mu Yu subconsciously touched the hairpin, it was she who asked Qionglan to dress herself up a little simpler, but she didn't expect to wear the hairpin that Lin Changjin gave herself, "I didn't pay attention when I went out, and you don't know it, I have always attached great importance to these decorations." ”

"yes, you don't value it, so your purse is bought!" Lin Wanyun pinched the purse on Mu Yu's waist and smiled mischievously. "If it weren't for you, my embroidery would be the most ugly in the capital, so I'll embroider a purse for you in person."

"Oh? Is that a gift from my sister or as a ...... A gift from my sister-in-law? Mu Yu shot back with a wicked smile.

Lin Wanyun's flushed smile twisted angrily, and no matter how much Mu Yu coaxed her, she didn't care about her.

Xie Chongning didn't leave for long, and soon returned to their small team, the lake around Juxian Pavilion was covered with pink lotus flowers, and the candlelight spread on both sides of the river dispelled the night, and the river water shone sparkling, which had a unique flavor.

"Then there is a lotus cake, do you want to eat it?" Mu Yu pointed to the bridge, where a slender old man sat on the edge of the bridge, with a few golden pastries in his basket, shouting and selling in a dumb voice.

Lin Wanyun followed her gaze, looked at the colorful patches on the old man's body, and couldn't help but retreat a little, "It's better not to do it, I'm afraid it won't taste good." ”

Mu Yu still stepped forward and squatted in front of the old man, "How did you sell this lotus cake?" ”

The old man's eyes were blank, and after hearing Mu Yu's voice, he turned his head towards the source of the sound, and his calloused hands trembled and made a two, "Two dollars and one piece." ”

Mu Yu looked at the old man's appearance, his slender five fingers shook in front of the old man's eyes, and when he saw that she didn't react, he felt that she was even more pitiful, "Okay, then I'll buy it all." ”

As she spoke, she took out a grain of broken silver and put it in the old man's hand, "I don't know how many pieces you have, one grain of silver should be enough." ”

The old man's already wooden face had a stagnant expression, "Girl, there are too many." ”

"Not much, I also bought your basket." Mu Yu carried the basket, got up, and walked back to Lin Wanyun's side, the lotus cake in the basket was very ordinary, and the flour was also very rough, in fact, she didn't want to buy the lotus cake much, but the shoes on the old man's feet had fallen off, which was really pitiful.

Lin Yunyun naturally saw what Mu Yu meant, "If you pity her, just give her money, and what are you going to do with this lotus cake?" ”

Mu Yu pursed her lips, "If you give her money directly, then what's the difference between her and begging?" People come out to do business with hands and feet, and I give her alms, which is insulting her. ”

Lin Wanyun's black eyes were full of incomprehension, and finally nodded with a pout, "Although I don't understand what you're talking about, I think you're right." ”

Also, where was the word self-esteem in ancient times, Wan Wan naturally didn't understand the truth, she lowered her head, twisted a piece of lotus cake and put it on her lips, the pastry was far less exquisite than the pastry in Xinghualou, and the rough taste crossed the taste buds, leaving only a burst of sweetness.

"I'm used to eating good things, and this one is really a bit unpalatable." Mu Yu pinched half of the lotus cake in his hand, hesitated for a while and stuffed it into his mouth.

Even in the capital, there are still many wandering beggars, some beggars are even just children, Mu Yu carried a basket, and did not go far, just a child curled up under the bridge, the child was facing away from them, but the curvature of the back bent out of a deformed arc.

Mu Yu slowed down his pace and walked beside the little beggar, "Do you want to eat pastries?" ”

The little beggar shrunk his neck, a pair of slippery eyes flowed on Mu Yu's body, and finally fell into her hands, his little face half in the dark, half revealing longing.

She put down the basket in her hand lightly, "Here, this is for you." ”

The little beggar pounced on her at the moment she put down the basket, hugged the basket without a word "thanks", turned her head and ran quickly.

Mu Yu looked at his departing back, revealing a trace of helplessness and pity, but Xie Chongning, who was standing on the side, couldn't take his eyes off, he was still sending people under the fence back then, and after being beaten by Mu Liangxuan, she looked at herself like this, and today, she still has the same eyes.

"You're kind, but that kid didn't even say thank you." When Lin Yunyun saw the child who was fleeing quickly, she felt that Mu Yu's pastry was sent to the wrong person.

"What's wrong with the child, it's the person who is so wrong with him." Although the child only pounced out for a moment, Mu Yu clearly saw the black and purple spots on the child's body, and he didn't know how he would get along with others after how many beatings he had received.

Lin Wanyun heard it even more, but she felt that Mu Yu was kind at heart.

The lotus conference is nothing more than to appreciate the lotus flowers, put a lantern, although Mu Yu is not interested, but also in order to meet the scenic spot to light a lotus lantern, gently put on the water.

"Rumor, what wish did you make?" Lin Wanyun only caught a glimpse of the four words on the lotus lantern of Mu Yu, and the lotus lantern flowed down the river into the distance.

Mu Yu pretended to make a silent gesture on his lips mysteriously, "This is a secret, it won't work if you say it." ”

But the two men standing behind him clearly captured those four words, "peace of family and country". And the heaviness of these four words, I'm afraid too many people can't afford it.

After the lotus conference, Mu Yu received an interesting holy decree, which turned out to be asking her to accompany the Fufeng County Lord to the south. It is also strange to say that the county lord of Fufeng is the sister of the king of Anping County, and Mu Yu only knows that this county lord is one year younger than himself, but he has never been in contact.

The county lord wants to go south to play, why would he specify that he will accompany him? And they will leave in ten days. The holy decree has been reached in his hands, and Mu Yu has no other way but to receive it.

"You said that this Fufeng County is mainly going south to play, why do you want to point me out?" Mu Yu held the holy decree in his hand, so it was not strange.

Biyue lay in Mu Yu's ear with a weak heart, "Miss, in fact, I have heard a little rumor about this Fufeng County Lord before. ”

"Oh? Then you can tell me about it. "Mu Yu is quite curious.

"I heard that this Fufeng County Lord likes Lord Xie."

"She likes Xie Chongning?" Mu Yu's voice was not very loud, but it caused a light cough behind him, it was Qionglan's, but the coughing sound was a little deliberate.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow appeared in front of her eyes, just the height of a person, but this figure was definitely not Qionglan.

"Who likes me?" Xie Chongning's voice was low and seemed to have a hint of a smile.

It was impossible to talk about gossip behind her back, but she was caught by the main owner, and what she said was the current Mu rumor, she held her head in her mouth, pursed her lips and smiled to relieve her embarrassment, "Brother Xie may have heard it wrong, I said someone else." ”

The girl in front of her was nervously clenching her little fists, Xie Chongning thoughtfully let her go, "I guess you have received the holy decree." ”

"Could it be that Brother Xie also received it?" When she received the holy decree, she guessed that in addition to the county lord, there should be other people accompanying her on this trip.

"Not only me, but also the king of Anping County."

There are so many places to play near the capital, why do you want to go south? This trip is not a day or two that can be over, not to mention more than a month, and there is also Dali Siqing accompanied, "Is this really just a trip to accompany the county lord?" ”

Xie Chongning raised his eyebrows, and his thin lips opened lightly, "Then what do you think?" ”

Since Xie Chongning would ask herself, she must have guessed half right, "I don't think so." ”

"Listen up."

"If I don't know this place in Nanxun, maybe I will treat this line of work as a simple play, but the holy decree, going south, Dali Temple and Qing together, it is not so simple." Although these were just Mu Yu's own guesses, when she bumped into Xie Chongning's smiling eyes, she felt more and more that she had found the truth.

"It's a must to go south, but the county lord forcibly called you, which was an accident." Xie Chongning explained.

When he said this, Mu Yu became clear, Xie Chongning reported the matter of these three people, and the emperor wanted to send Xie Chongning to investigate the case without startling the snake, so he used the county lord to go south to play as an excuse, but this Fufeng county lord also called himself as an escort.

So in the whole plan, she was an accident, and the reason for her accident was probably that the county lord of Fufeng really liked Xie Chongning.

"If you don't want to go, I'll wait for you to talk to the emperor." Xie Chongning bumped into her frowning brows, and her delicate facial features were covered with a trace of sorrow.

"It's good to go south, but I don't know if it's good for the county lord to get along with." If this county lord really likes Xie Chongning, then it won't be difficult for himself, right?

It's not easy for her to say that it's not easy, the heroine of the family is a house fight after getting married, she hasn't married yet, and she has to face the cannonball of the county lord, which is really a disaster.
