Chapter 186: Hongmen Banquet
Su Mulian smiled meaningfully, half-squinted her eyes, and said, "They all report their own homes, and they also need to see the owner to beat the dog, let's go, let's go back." ”
The next day, the two sisters were about to go out into the street to forage for food, and as soon as they got down the stairs of the inn, they saw a dozen people come up and block their path.
Su Mulian, who narrowed her eyes slightly, knew the person who took the lead, he was Xiao Bo's personal subordinate, her eyes widened in surprise, and she asked in wonder: "I don't know who you are?" ”
"Under Guo's order, on the order of Lord Xiao, take the three of them to the house to sit." The corners of Guo Ling's mouth raised a cold smile and said respectfully.
"My cousin doesn't know where he went, but now my sister and I won't bother, and I ask you to come back, and thank you for your invitation by the way." Su Mulian raised a polite smile and said softly.
Su Mulian knew that this was Xiao Bo's Hongmen banquet.
Seeing her refuse, Guo Ling frowned slightly, his eyes became sharp, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened, and he whispered: "Lord Xiao specially sent a carriage to pick up the two Shangfu guests, if the girl doesn't want to, it's not good to go back to restore her life." ”
"Our two sisters and Master Xiao are just one side, so why are you embarrassed to come to the door to bother?" Su Mulian said with a smile, fortunately, Guo Ling ordered someone to clear the field and guard the door, otherwise as soon as this incident came out, rumors would definitely spread in the capital.
This will also have an impact on Cheng Aoran's future and Cheng Aoran's future.
Seeing that they were insistent, Guo Ling lost his smile on his face, looked at the two of them with sharp eyes, and warned in a low voice: "The two of you have to go today, and you have to go if you don't go!" ”
Su Mulian also lost a smile on her face, looked at Guo Ling with hostility, snorted coldly, and said, "Since Lord Xiao has an iron-hearted invitation, if I refuse again, wouldn't it be too ignorant." ”
When it came to this, Su Mulian had no choice but to agree, if it didn't make a big fuss, no one would look good, but it was just a Hongmen banquet, and she could still handle it.
Guo Ling smiled with satisfaction, turned sideways and made a gesture of please: "Two girls, the carriage is waiting outside the door." ”
"Please wait a while, Mr. Guo, I'm afraid it's not good to go out like this, let me and my sister wear a hat." Su Mulian said with a smile.
Guo Ling looked at her questioningly, as if he couldn't believe it.
Su Mulian smiled helplessly: "My cousin will participate in the martial arts, and the inns around are all your people, is it possible that I am afraid that I will run away?" ”
Guo Ling smiled: "Why did Miss Wen say this? It's almost lunchtime, and I ask the two girls to hurry up. ”
Su Mulian nodded, then took Su Muzhi's hand, and went upstairs to return to the room.
"Sister, are we really going?" As soon as he entered the room, Su Muzhi asked worriedly, and he looked at the menacing Guo Ling and the others, and he was terrified.
Su Mulian, who had a heavy expression, nodded, and while taking out her hat, she whispered: "Since Xiao Bo has made up his mind to let us go, if he refuses again, no one can predict what will happen next." ”
"But sister, that Xiao Bo is not a good person." Su Muzhi pursed her mouth and said unconvinced.
Su Mulian put on a hat for her sister with her own hands and comforted: "But she is a powerful person, don't be afraid of me." ”
The two went downstairs, left the restaurant, and got into the carriage under the watchful eyes of everyone, fortunately Su Mulian was smart and covered her face, so it would save a lot of trouble in the future.
After a while, they arrived at Xiao's Mansion, and under the leadership of Guo Ling, the two sisters came to the side hall and smelled the fragrance of vegetables from a distance.
Xiao Bo smiled at the people who came with satisfaction, and dismissed the servants who were waiting.
The two sisters stopped and stood a few steps away from him, Su Mulian said softly: "The folk girl has seen Lord Xiao, I don't know why Lord Xiao invited him today?" ”
Xiao Bo stood up, walked in front of Su Mulian, raised his hand and wanted to lift her light veil, but Su Mulian, who had extremely fast reactions, took two steps back.
"Today, the official specially apologizes to the two girls." Xiao Bo was not angry, and said with a grin.
"Oh?" Su Mulian pretended to be calm, and asked rhetorically for some reason, "I don't know why Lord Xiao apologized?" ”
"The two Wen girls must be hungry, right? Please be seated! Xiao Bo changed the subject, returned to his place and sat down, and said with a sincere smile.
Su Muzhi sat opposite Xiao Bo under her sister's move.
Su Mulian lifted the light veil, glanced at the rich food on the table, looked at Xiao Bo with a sneer, raised her eyebrows and asked: "No merit, this meal, I'm afraid Wen Wan will not be blessed, right?" ”
"Yesterday, the official's subordinates shocked the two girls, which really made the official full of guilt, so I specially apologized today." Xiao Bo said.
Su Mulian couldn't help but laugh sarcastically: "I didn't expect Lord Xiao to follow others, it really opened Wen Wan's eyes." ”
"Hey!" Xiao Bo frowned aggrievedly, and hurriedly corrected, "This official is looking at the two girls who are not familiar with the place in the capital, and they are afraid of being bullied, so they let people protect the two. ”
Su Mulian listened to her reason, and couldn't help but smile: "I'm afraid Lord Xiao forgot, Wen Wan also has a cousin who knows a little about martial arts." ”
"I'll call you Wan'er from now on." Xiao Bose looked at Su Mulian with squinting eyes, and leaned over with his left hand.
Su Mulian naturally withdrew her hand, avoided this rubbing of oil, and smiled: "Lord Xiao doesn't know, looking at you, I remembered the father of the people's daughter, he left last year, and he likes to call me Wan'er the most, Lord Xiao called me like this, but it made me sad." ”
She's just reminding him of his age, the age of his father, and he still wants the old cow to eat tender grass? And also used a valid reason to refuse the title that spoiled from his mouth.
Xiao Bo didn't get angry when he heard this, but looked at her more sympathetically: "What about Miss Wen's mother? ”
"My mother also died." Su Mulian didn't answer without any concealment.
After Xiao Bo heard this, his eyes showed pity, and he let out a long sigh and said, "What two poor beauties, it just so happens that the official takes care of the people in the backyard, why don't you two sisters live in?" ”
Su Mulian looked at him who was greedy, and felt disgusted in her heart, but she frowned as if she didn't understand, and said: "Lord Xiao praised it falsely, my sister and I were born into farmers, and we can only farm the land, not settle accounts, so Lord Xiao should invite someone else, right?" ”
After hearing this, Xiao Bo reminded: "The official knows that the girl understands the meaning of her words, as long as the two of you sisters enter the mansion to serve the official, you will be guaranteed to enjoy the glory and wealth." ”
When Su Mulian saw it, she pretended to be surprised and opened her eyes wide, and asked rhetorically: "There are not many monthly cases for people to look at Lord Xiao, I didn't expect to be so willing to be so willing to me and my sister!" ”
Xiao Bo, who was a little weak-hearted, hurriedly covered up a smile and changed the topic.
"I wonder what Miss Wen thinks?"
