Chapter 63: The Old Man
Fang Xiao saw that the two were chatting happily, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart, and after he went back, he went directly to visit Xie Chongning, he sat at the table without saying anything, and the teacup in his hand was picked up and put down.
Xie Chongning naturally paid attention to his movements, but Fang Xiao had always liked to play treasures, and he had long been surprised.
"Hey." Fang Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Xie Chongning, who was looking at the book without distraction in front of him, and felt even bigger, "I said that I have been sitting here for so long, don't you ask me why I came today?" ”
"You can come when you want." Xie Chongning didn't look at him.
Fang Xiao is very familiar with this person, and he is also the only friend who has fun with Xie Chongning, he often comes to bother Xie Chongning when he has nothing to do, and Xie Chongning has long been used to it.
"I'm really down to business today! I'm worried about you! Fang Xiao lifted the lid of the teacup with hatred, "Do you know that the Mu family girl participated in Qin Xu's banquet today?" ”
"Really?" Although Xie Chongning was asking, he still didn't raise his head and didn't take it to heart.
"But I think Miss Mu seems to like Qin Xu very much!" Fang Xiao kept bumping the teacup wall with the lid of the teacup, deliberately making a sound.
Xie Chongning's fingertips paused in writing, "Really?" ”
"And Qin Xu also told me, Miss Mu is really a beauty, I always feel that if you don't make a move, you will make a wedding dress for Qin Xu." Seeing that he still refused to look up, Fang Xiao added, "Forget it, I don't care what you do with this, I'll leave, you can do it yourself." ”
Fang Xiao walked for a long time, Xie Chongning seemed to be reading a book, but he didn't turn a page again.
On the other side, Mu Yu just expressed a trace of interest in tea, and Qin Xu actually bought the tea leaves of Juxian Pavilion and asked the people of Juxian Pavilion to send them over.
"You said this was bought for me by the King of Anping?" Mu Yu was holding the tea box, and his right eyelid jumped suddenly.
"It was specially instructed by the king of Anping County, if there is a new green tea in the shop, I will send you a copy, this is the Tieguanyin that Juxian Pavilion just entered today, please Miss Mu to taste it."
Qiong Lan stood aside and looked at Mu Yu meaningfully for a long time, "Miss, ...... are you and the King of Anping County?" ”
"I don't know why, it's just that at the banquet that day, I chatted with the county king." Mu Yu only felt that the tea box in his arms was like a hot potato, and he still couldn't pay it back, so he could only accept it.
However, Qin Xu's overtures were like an unintentional instruction, except for the occasional tea leaves, there was no other practical action, which made Mu Yu feel at ease.
Because of their own matchmaking, the two of them have a strong affection for me, whether they go out to swim in the lake or climb the mountain, she doesn't want to be a light bulb, so she doesn't participate in their activities.
is just like what Mu Yi said at the beginning, because Mu Yi is already close to the eight characters, Shen Mei only focuses on Mu Yu alone, and sends various banquet invitations from time to time, creating opportunities for her to meet her good son-in-law, and also creating opportunities for her to meet Li Miaozhen.
At the beginning of the period, Li Miaozhen had to sarcastically mock her every time she saw her, but after a long time, Mu Yu ignored her, and she died down, and the two looked at each other unpleasantly, and no one spoke.
She is a modern person, and she only feels bored when she participates in ancient banquets, these so-called banquets are nothing more than playing tunes, and she can't play poems and tunes, while she knows a lot about ancient poems, but she doesn't like to be with those things that are too noisy, and often sits alone in the corner.
"Miss Li's song is a must in Beijing, if Miss Li doesn't mind, would you like to make a tune for my unpopular poem?" Li Miaozhen is there, and when she is not crazy, she also has a lot of pursuits from her son.
Mu Yu lazily raised his eyelids, watching Li Miaozhen satirize the man without a complete body, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"What are you laughing at? Why don't you give him a tune for this poem? "What Li Miaozhen doesn't like the most is that Mu Yu stays out of the matter and pretends to be high-minded.
Mu Yu shook his head, "This son also said that Miss Li's song is a must in the capital, and I am not in the stream, so I still don't take it out to show my ugliness." ”
"Also, you yourself said that you don't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Li Miaozhen smiled arrogantly, glanced at Mu Yu, and then turned around and sat back in her place.
In fact, from another point of view, Mu Yu and Li Miaozhen came to participate in these so-called banquets, all for the sake of perfunctory, Mu Yu really has no feelings for these gentlemen, and Li Miaozhen looks down on these people whose status is not as good as herself.
It's just the appearance of one person, which suddenly broke the peace of this small teahouse, Qin Xu seemed to be just passing by casually, and when he saw the excitement in the teahouse, he walked in to join in the fun.
"I said that this usually deserted little teahouse is so lively today, it turns out that you are holding a banquet here, I don't know if it is a little abrupt for me to intervene and come in." Qin Xu wore a silver robe and a black dark belt around his waist, and walked into the teahouse casually.
Li Miaozhen's eyes were bright, and her eyes followed Qin Xu, and she watched Qin Xu sit next to Mu Yu, since Qin Xu drove her out of the banquet last time, she had never seen the king of Anping County again, she thought that today was an opportunity, but who would have thought that Mu Yu had taken the lead.
Mu Yu couldn't help but shrink his neck, and then saluted Qin Xu with an indifferent face. It stands to reason that she is sitting in this position very biased, according to Qin Xu's status, she should naturally sit at the main table, and now that Qin Xu is sitting alone in the place, she is like a target, suffering from the jealous eyes around her.
"The county king has a noble status, and he should not sit in such a position." Mu Yu kindly reminded.
Qin Xu disagreed, and responded with a smile, "This position is just a position, how can there be any distinction between high and low?" If a person is low, no matter how good his position is, he can't change his identity, what does Miss Mu think? ”
Mu Yu listened to Qin Xu's words, and there was something in his words openly and secretly, "The little girl is not talented, but she only thinks that the county king's views are very unique." ”
Qin Xu pursed his lips and smiled, and didn't say much.
It is said that this Anping County King is a gentleman, after all, he is also a big celebrity around the emperor, who doesn't want to stammer, although Qin Xu himself chose a remote position, but how could this group of young ladies and young masters forget him, "County King, look at my pair, I don't know if you can match the next link?" ”
As soon as Qin Xu heard this, his even slender hand pressed on his temple, "You guys are embarrassed for me, I don't know anything about this poetry and song, don't ask me, don't ask me." ”
Because of being at the same table with Qin Xu, Mu Yu also received a lot of care, if Qin Xu didn't answer, then they would turn their heads and ask Mu Yu, Mu Yu squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, and shook his head.
But Mu Yu and Qin Xu's identities are different after all, Qin Xu refuses, others will definitely not say anything, Mu Yu refuses more, naturally some people will be dissatisfied.
This time, a girl wanted to compose a poem with the theme of peach blossoms, and she was the first to ask Qin Xu. What does this peach blossom mean, everyone understands, Qin Xu still refused, and the girl asked Mu Yu, "Miss Mu, you refuse to compose poems with us, I don't think you can't, but look down on us, right?" ”
"The girl laughed, Mu Yu is only a shallow learner, and it is inconvenient to get an axe in front of everyone." Mu Yu was not angry, and only replied calmly.
"This poem with the theme of peach blossoms is not a few thousand, but a hundred, if Miss Mu can't do it, you can recite a poem casually, and we will count you as passing, what do you think?" The girl had to be tight, and she had to answer Mu Yu.
Mu Yu is a modern person, ancient poems come when she opens her mouth, she doesn't show it, she just doesn't want to attract attention, but the girl in front of her is not relenting, if she can't say why, it will only attract more attention.
"If you don't mind, then I'll be ugly." The smile on the corner of Mu Yu's mouth concealed too much helplessness, "In this door last year, the peach blossoms on the human face were red, and the human face did not know where to go, and the peach blossoms were still smiling in the spring breeze." ”
Qin Xu raised his eyebrows, and was the first to take the lead in applauding Mu Yu, "Good poetry, good poetry, I didn't expect Miss Mu, you are so deeply hidden." The footsteps of Qin Xu, who followed others, also echoed and praised.
Mu Yu pursed her lips and smiled softly, in the eyes of others, she was humble, only she understood in her own heart, this praise was deserved by her, and this poem was just borrowed from her.
After the topic passed, Qin Xu inadvertently asked, "I don't know which side of the human face is in Miss Mu's poem?" ”
"The old man of a little woman." Mu Yu replied vaguely, this poem was recited by her casually, where is there any old man.
"Then this old man is Lord Xie of Dali Temple?" Qin Xu asked again.
Mu Yu smiled, how could this good end be pulled on Xie Chongning, "How can it be, the king of the county thinks too much." ”
"Then this old man must be the person that Miss Mu likes. This person who can associate with peach blossoms is only loved in his heart. Qin Xu reasoned.
Mu Yu only shook his head slightly, "The king of the county thought too much, I just came here casually." ”
"By the way, I wonder if Miss Mu has tasted the tea sent by Juxian Pavilion recently, what do you think it tastes like?" Qin Xu smiled.
"The king of the county has a heart, where will the little girl taste tea, just to have a good time." Mu Yu heard Qin Xu take the initiative to mention this matter, and hurriedly thought of a way to refuse, "Although this tea is delicious, the little woman can't taste it, and she is bothered that the county king will not let them send it." ”
"Okay, since Miss Mu doesn't like it, I'll tell them not to send it. In a few days is my weak crown ceremony, if Miss Mu is convenient, why don't you come to watch the ceremony? When the time comes, I will order someone to send an invitation. Qin Xu invited.
Mu Yu has a big head, this Ming Dynasty man is weak, only relatives and friends are invited to watch the ceremony, she has no friendship with Qin Xu, and her status is not enough, this turn is not for her to participate in the ceremony. And maybe the emperor will marry Qin Xu that day, this Qin Xu has an ambiguous attitude, she doesn't want to make a fuss.
But Qin Xu invited like this again, she couldn't refuse it in person, "Thank you for the invitation of the king of the county, if there is nothing to do, the little girl will definitely go now." ”
After getting a satisfactory answer, the smile on the corner of Qin Xu's mouth deepened, and then he only talked to Mu Yu about family matters, and the chat was relaxed.
But after that day, Mu Yu's poem about peach blossoms somehow reached Xie Chongning's ears, and he casually recited a sentence while walking, "The human face doesn't know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze." But it entered Mu Yi's ears.
