Chapter 4 Miss Mu Jia
With the meal, there is no need to speak, Weiyang and Qingjin are in front, and the sacrifice is behind, and they move to the big study to discuss matters.
There is an improved crane wing array on the periphery of the study, and no one wants to get close. Weiyang picked out the key points of what happened in the Northern Desert and told Qingjin and Feng Sacrifice about it, and asked Cangxin about coming back.
Qing Jin said: "I came back first on the third day of your departure, and then the priest also returned. The two of us set off on a fast horse that night, and when we chased to Lucheng, we got the news that you were safe, young master. ”
The sacrifice was silent.
So, Weiyang also told him about the afterimage and Xiao Ye's stay in Yanshan Snow Valley.
"Snow Valley? Could it be that there are still masters in Yanshan who are here to escape the world? Do you still need someone to answer the shadow master? Qing Jin asked.
"There is no need for the time being, we took Xiao Ye all the way through Yan Mountain, and deliberately hid the traces. The snow valley is hidden, and I have carefully explored the terrain there, and outsiders cannot easily find it. Weiyang paused for a moment, and said absent-mindedly: "Besides, there are people in the Snow Valley whose martial arts are not weaker than mine, and their medical skills are extremely fine, so you can rest assured that you can take care of him." ”
He also discussed the things that each had in his own hands, and asked the beggars.
"The beggars are fine, but the one in Pianruodian is pregnant!" Qingjin said with a smile. ”
"Oh? Interesting! Weiyang also laughed.
Knowing that the business was over, the priest turned around and walked out, still with the usual cold temperament.
Weiyang also got up and went back to the room, and it was really hard to run all the way.
Linglong waited for her to bathe, Liuli brought a carbon plate and put it down, and lit magnolia incense.
Chu Han took a thick cloth towel to dry her hair, and smiled and scolded the face in the mirror: "It's better not to remove your makeup, lest this face bring disaster to the country and the people." ”
But I saw: her skin was delicate and fair, smooth and smooth; The two willow eyebrows are not lightly depicted, and a pair of apricot eyes are painted like ink; The flower bud has a small mouth, a mouth full of broken jade teeth, and a magnolia fragrance. Slender waist and thin legs, but the chest is still a little thin. There are three more points of laziness in the delicate plum-like wind bones, where is still the light and pure appearance in the snow valley of Yanshan.
Changed into a soft purple silk pajama brought by Linglong from home, draped her hair, pillowed Chu Han's legs, her eyes were sleepy, and she didn't ask a word about the things in the house these days.
"The little county lord of Jingwang's Mansion came at the beginning of the month and the middle of the month, and the young lord said that you are sick; Miss Yu handed over the post the day before yesterday and put it in your study, which the young owner had personally read; Miss Yan asked Xiaozhu to send the clothes you wanted, and handed them to Coral to keep! Linglong replied neatly.
"By the way, Miss, Young Master Yin has come to ask you several times!" Linglong blinked, smiling.
Chu Han also smiled.
The moonlight was like water, and the night was getting deeper, and Weiyang seemed to be asleep. Chu Han put her head on the pillow, gently got out of bed, put down the two layers of bed curtains, and went back to her room.
A good night's sleep.
Just after Yin, Weiyang woke up unhappily in Linglong's loud and small noise. She called out slightly annoyed, "Linglong, get in!" ”
"Miss, are you awake?" Linglong opened the door with a grin, opened the cotton curtain and jumped in.
Weiyang bent his fingers to knock her on the head, and after a knock, he was not relieved, so he knocked again.
"Miss, it hurts!" Linglong flattened her mouth and said aggrievedly.
Weiyang scared her: "You don't have a long memory, dare to make noise in the morning in the future, see if I don't cut your tongue and feed the cat!" ”
Linglong muttered: "Aunt Han said that she was going back to the house today, but don't you get up at this hour?" ”
I still wore men's clothes and changed my appearance.
"It's time to leave after breakfast, Amber and Pearl are still waiting in the Broken Sky Temple!" Chu Han came in and tied Weiyang's hair.
"Good! It just so happened that the old lady wanted to borrow two Heart Sutras and bring them back together! Weiyang agreed.
At the end of the day, the carriage that came to pick up the young lady home from Shuiyue Villa turned the mountain road from Bishui Manor to the south, and drove unhurriedly in the direction of the Broken Sky Temple.
A moment after the carriage left, Weiyang began to walk through the mountain and headed towards the Broken Sky Temple. Half an hour later, she floated down to the window of the Broken Sky Temple, where the presiding officer of the Broken Sky Temple, Amber and Pearl were waiting under the porch.
"Ghost girl, you're causing trouble again, using my old monk as a cover?" A neutral, slightly angry voice floated out of the room.
"Old monk, I have to go home today, and I will come to play chess with you again on the day of the new year." Weiyang answered with a little mischievous.
"Humph!" The old monk was immediately annoyed.
Weiyang deliberately said: "Don't be angry so soon, if you want to die, you have to wait for you to win me, otherwise what a pity!" ”
"Dead girl, get out of here, it's better never to come again, I still count on immortality!" The old monk was really annoyed.
"Are the monks still so greedy? Why don't you lend me two Heart Sutras, and I'll help you recite them more when I go back? "Weiyang has to be justified when he wants something.
"Go and ask for a quit!" After the old monk finished speaking, he knocked on the wooden fish and stopped talking.
Weiyang didn't talk anymore, and led the two maids into a small door on the west side, which was where Weiyang lived every time he came to the Broken Sky Temple.
Pearl hugged Weiyang's arm tightly: "Miss, you're finally back, but I'm worried about us!" ”
"Hurry up and loosen it, and go get Miss's clothes." Amber is the eldest of the eight big maids, she is two years older than Weiyang, and she is usually Amber restraining the maids in the Lanyan Pavilion. She doesn't hide her own selfishness, and a few small ones are also under her control. Chu Han always praises two sentences, Amber is not arrogant, he does what he should do, this bearing is very similar to what a person in Weiyang should be.
Amber waited for Weiyang to change back into Miss Mufu's outfit: a lilac-colored phoenix luan cloud shoulder with high standing collar brocade robes, a lilac-colored moon white moire with a wide edge at the waist, and hard-soled shoes of the same color under her feet. Comb with a small bun hanging sideburns, a white jade phoenix-shaped hairpin on the right, open-carved phoenix bird, white and waxy, feather turning like flowers and leaves, very exquisite; On the left side, there are three white jade inlaid pearl flowers, the first button of the robe standing collar is a larger white jade pearl flower buckle, and a twisted rope seed jade bracelet on the wrist.
Dressed neatly, Mu Qingyan drew his long eyebrows with a pen, and wiped his face with rouge and gouache. It's just that...... The eyebrows are thicker, the gouache is thicker, and the rouge is just a little more glamorous.
Amber quietly packed up the things she wanted to take away, and Pearl pouted and said, "Miss, you are like this every time, it doesn't look good at all." ”
Mu Qingyan bent and flicked between the pearl's forehead: "What do you know, go and see if Aunt Han has arrived." She bit her lip and said to herself: "Miss Ben has been here for more than a month under the banner of eating fasting and reciting Buddha practice, it's time to go home!" ”
Chu Han took Linglong and Liuli, and entered the Broken Sky Temple with a smile all the way.
Mu Qingyan took Amber and Chu Han to rendezvous, went to the scripture building together, asked for two copies of the Heart Sutra he had copied in the past, and got into the carriage at the temple gate, and then returned to Linchuan City.
Near noon, Miss Mufu's carriage entered Linchuan City from the north gate.
Linchuan City is Suzaku Street in the north and south, and Xuanwu Street in the east and west. A tributary of the Mochou Lake section of the Wei River enters the city from the south gate, goes north through Zhuque Street, flows to the west side of the palace and joins the moat, and flows out from the east gate around the forbidden palace.
The location of the Imperial Palace to the east of Suzaku Street and north of Xuanwu Street. With Xuanwu Street as the axis, the three main streets east of the palace are luxurious and solemn, and they are the residences of the prince and the dignitaries of the dynasty; To the south of Xuanwu Street is the Zhuang Yuan of the various families of Eastern Chu, headed by the Qilin Villa of the Imperial Shang Dongfang; There is also a well-known intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes, Anxin Lou Beizhuang, and a sword villa that is famous for its sword-casting.
The Mujia family of Shuiyue Villa is also in the south of the city, which is not very eye-catching.
To the west of the forbidden city and north of Xuanwu Street are Xiangguo Mansion and Thrush Villa.
The river divides Suzaku South Street into east and west banks, and the shops on the bank are standing nearby, and the scenery is picturesque. The water surface is wide and feasible boats, leading directly to Mochou Lake in the south of the city. There are bridges coming and going on the river, the traffic is busy, the tourists are weaving, and the road is endless.
All jewelry, money houses, restaurants, etc. are mostly in Zhuque East Street; Such as satin, fat powder, and wine shops are mostly on West Street; The green building, pharmacy, and carriage and horse shops mostly live in the northwest lane.
"Linglong, go to Shi Jinxiang and pick up four kinds of dim sum, four kinds of candied fruit, pack them and send them to the house." Mu Qingyan leaned on Amber's shoulder, closed his eyes and commanded.
"Miss, you have some snacks at home!" Exquisitely puzzled.
Amber pushed her: "Miss is going to Nangong Mansion, you hurry up and pick it up, let Pearl come with you." ”
The carriage stopped, and the two little maids got out of the carriage.
Next to Shi Jinxiang is the largest restaurant in the city, the Lion Building, at this time it is noon, the second floor of the private room is set up by the window, one of which sits four noble sons.
The main seat is Chu Jin, the little prince of Jingwang's Mansion, the upper head is Qin Yan of Xiangguo's Mansion, opposite is Dongfang Fengjue, the young master of Qilin Villa, and the second young master Nangong Hao of Yijian Villa.
At this time, Dongfang Fengjue's eyes stared at the carriage downstairs, and his mind drifted. Chu Jin saw it and said with a smile: "Isn't it Gongzi Jue, you have taken a fancy to this Miss Mu family?" ”
Dongfang Fengjue didn't seem to hear his banter, and he didn't answer, just withdrew his eyes, picked up the wine on the table and drank a glass.
Qin Yan has been away from home since he was a child, and he is not familiar with the big clans in this city, "Miss Mujia? Which Mujia? ”
"Which other Mu family, Eastern Chu Kingdom can be called Miss Mu Family, I'm afraid there is only this one!" Chu Jin rolled his eyes.
Nangong Hao said in a sullen voice: "My sister-in-law! He hates that woman to the extreme, and the only one who dares to tease him and look down on him in this world is Mu Qingyan.
"Water Moon Villa?" Qin Yan was curious for a moment. He has seen Mu Qinghan once, a talent, hidden but not revealed.
"Although Miss Mu looks average, she is also honest. It's just that he gave it to the son of Yijian Villa since he was a child, and he suffered those who fell in love. Chu Jin's eyes drifted to Dongfang Fengjue.
"Little prince compliment! Mu Qingyan is unteachable, stubborn, and dead! The ladies of small families are afraid that they are a few points better than her. Nangong Hao wanted to vomit blood at the thought of having to eat some stuffy losses in her hands every time she saw her, so she added with hatred: "The two mansions often make trouble because of her arrogance and lasciviousness!" "Hmph, it's just going to make the old lady happy, that stupid big brother simply spoils her to the sky. He has been dreaming of soul chasing for a long time...... I scolded 'stupid big brother' again.
"She is closer to Miss Yu, who has a marriage contract with you, and the third sister in my house is often with them, which is really two temperaments." Chu Jin smiled: "Miss Yu is bound by her mother, and she is often reserved. ”
Listening to Nangong Hao's anger, Qin Yan felt a little interesting. The clan atmosphere in the capital is quite deep, and everyone has extremely strict boudoir training, expecting women to marry high and fight for their own family, and the Miss Mu family in their mouths seems to be an outlier.
He couldn't help but think of Miss Yu, such a beautiful lady with a beautiful face and a good appearance, both civil and military, there are many admirers in this world, but I don't know why, but he has no special feelings.
It's just that she doesn't hate it, and she doesn't seem to have deliberately flattered him like those young ladies.
Dongfang Fengjue didn't make a sound, he knew in his heart that Mu Qingyan was not so unbearable, just lively. He and Mu Qinghan have been friends since childhood, and they enter and leave Shuiyue Villa as if they were their own home. His brother and sister are close, often read and write in the study together, he went to see him, not as shy as the average lady, nor did he avoid him, always smiled shallowly and called him 'Brother Jue'.
He listened to it and listened to it in his heart, and when he realized that he liked it, he knew that he was helpless...... He was really envious of Nangong Yin.
After a while, the two little maids came back, got in the car and went again.
In a quarter of an hour, the carriage had arrived at the door of the Water Moon Villa.
Mufu, a century-old family.
For more than 60 years, the world has been in turmoil, and wolf smoke has been everywhere; Foreign invasion, the previous dynasty was faint, and the ancestors of the Mu family helped the Chu family win the country with military strategies and formations. The foreign enemy was clear and the internal strife arose, Mu Qingyan's grandfather Mu Zheng, led the army to quell the war with his fifteen-year-old relatives, and expelled the rebellious King Ning to Ninggu Pass in one fell swoop.
After the country was stabilized, Mu Zheng retreated.
The Mu family is thin, and there are only two brothers and sisters in this generation, Mu Qinghan and Mu Qingyan.
The carriage went straight into the gate, turned the shadow wall and came to the gate of the inner courtyard. The big butler and a group of people waited outside the door for a long time, and after the carriage stopped, a little girl moved her pedal and put it under the car.
"Miss!" Linglong shouted Mu Qingyan, and when she didn't react, she shouted again: "Miss, I'm home!" Miss, are you asleep? ”
Mu Qingyan was crooked in the brocade quilt, not knowing what he was thinking, and snorted lazily: "Hmm! ”
In the car behind, Liuli and Pearl helped Chuhan to come down.
Amber got out of the car first, and then went to help Mu Qingyan, and watched Mu Qinghan walk quickly from a distance: "The young owner comes out!" She whispered outside the car door.
