Chapter 153: Red Makeup Hidden Deeply
Pearl didn't apologize at all and continued to comb Mu Qingyan's hair, "But is there that naughty master?" Pearl looked at Mu Qingyan in the mirror, "Miss, won't he be angry?" β
The needle in Sango's hand paused, and tilted his head to look at Pearl, "I didn't think about this, there is a darker one that comes with this piece of material, just cut one for him." β
"Why don't you go find it now!" Pearl urged her with a smile.
Coral threw down the needle with a long line and trotted downstairs.
After a while, she came up panting with a bundle of crystal purple material in her hand, "This is this one, it's the same as this lilac purple." β
"Well, this piece is supposed to be a robe for you, but that little master is still a little bigger, will it be too deep?" Pearl sat next to Coral and helped her remove the scraps to make embroidery threads.
Mu Qingyan casually picked up a book and looked at it on the couch, his eyes drifted to the crystal purple material, and secretly thought: If Qin Yan wears it and stands with Shen Jun, it will be like a mold carved out.
couldn't help but feel hot on her face, she raised the book in her hand a little higher to cover her face, and bit her lip to get angry.
Coral and Pearl were babbling and talking, she had no intention of reading what was written in the book, so she got up and pulled off the robe that was on the chair and put it on, and was about to go out.
"Miss, are you going to the palace?" Pearl hurriedly got up and asked her.
Mu Qingyan shook his head, "I'll go out and be bored, and I'll be back in a while." β
"Where is Miss going, will you come back for dinner?" Cinnabar met him at the door and asked while picking up the curtain.
Mu Qingyan walked straight to the bottom of the corridor without receiving, "Don't wait for me for your own use." "Walked out of Lanyan Pavilion, followed the main road in the house to the north, and went out from the corner gate.
The joy of the emperor's wedding is still there, and the red silk fluttering place is full of people.
She went all the way to Qingqi Winery, at the intersection of Zhuque Street and Xuanwu Street, various merchants set up a flowing water banquet, and the banquet was opened. The No. 1 jade restaurant in Beijing and the Lion Tower have always been inherently hostile, and the delicacy of the jade and the richness of the Lion Tower do not give in to each other.
Today, too, long tables are set up in front of each door on Xuanwu Street, and the flowing water and food are all moved to the table, cooking a gluttonous feast for those diners who can't get in on weekdays.
Jinghong hung up the red lights all over the building today, but the door was closed, making the Qingjing Winery next to Jinghong a little desolate. East Street and West Street are only separated by a bridge, and there is such a stark difference.
The backyard of ChΓ’teau ChΓ’teau.
"Master, you're here!" The shopkeeper bowed, stood aside with his hands down, and said nothing more.
Mu Qingyan nodded slightly, "Is there a wine gift sent to the palace?" β
"Back to the master, there is still one less smoke and maple dew." The shopkeeper lowered his voice slightly: "The little master is upstairs, do you want to go up?" β
Mu Qingyan raised his legs and walked upstairs, took two steps and fell back, "Send the farewell to Jinghong alone, and make up for the one that is missing in the palace." β
"Yes, that parting is indeed not suitable for today's atmosphere, it is not as auspicious as Liuguang." The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "I'll do it now, Princess Ning'an is not thinking about parting for a day and a half, this time she will be happy." β
"Lin Fei, do you still remember those jars of wine that have been re-steamed with my twenty-year-old daughter red as a guide and I added a new recipe, where are they hidden now?" Mu Qingyan tapped his temple, "I don't remember who I handed it to." β
The shopkeeper's name is Lin Fei, the son of a family in the capital, who wandered the streets because of his childhood when his family was in the middle of the road, and was bullied, and was later picked up by the son.
He chuckled, "It's really rare for the master to forget things. After speaking, he walked to the moon gate across the courtyard, "You handed it over to me, under the silver laurel tree across the courtyard, I am afraid that the fragrance will not be buried in a few years." β
Mu Qingyan's eyes lit up, and he took two steps to follow.
The two turned two moon gates and entered the East Cross Courtyard, and stood under the thick osmanthus tree in the middle of the courtyard, "At that time, you said that if this wine can be buried for another twenty years, it must be the best in the world." Although it is not 20 years now, it is also a full 12 years, and it is the same year as this winery, and it is the treasure of Qingzhen, and I am also curious. β
He reached out and grabbed a shovel from the shelf next to him, rolled up his sleeves, and then picked up the shovel and carefully dug under the tree. It's only a dozen or twenty shovels, and the strength has been dug deep into the calf.
Twelve years may not be a long time, but it is enough for a silver tree to grow. Mu Qingyan still remembers that he bought this courtyard just to dig a wine cellar. This was originally a silk village, a separate three-entry courtyard, if she hadn't encouraged Yan Xuechu to buy a house next to it and build the current Yunshang Fang, the shopkeeper would not have agreed to sell this shop so readily. It also happened that at that time, she had a batch of twenty-year-old daughter red, she spent some effort to re-steam, and the three jars of wine also added extremely rare things to brew into a jar, and moved the silver tree in the courtyard that was already some years old to the corner of the wall and buried it with the wine jar.
She was twelve years old......
When he was pondering, he only heard the sound of 'dang', the shovel touched something, and he hurriedly stopped Lin Fei, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's here." When he leaned forward to look, he saw that the pit was intertwined, and the roots of different sizes and thicknesses had already wrapped the jar of wine, which was less than two feet long.
Lin Fei threw down the shovel and picked up the soil a few times on both sides with his hands, revealing a black jar. As soon as he competed, "Get up!" Shengsheng pulled the wine jar out of the soil, brought a bucket of water from the well to wash the sludge away, and said happily: "Master, there is." β
Mu Qingyan approached the wine jar and grabbed the mouth of the altar with both hands, lifted the weight, and then approached the seal to look at it and smell it, "The seal is not bad, take it back to the yard over there and open it again." β
Lin Fei really walked back to Qingqing's backyard with the wine jar and followed Mu Qingyan upstairs.
Zuo Ning held a handful of calculation chips and fiddled with them as if no one was around, and there were many scattered on the table.
Feng Shi put down the book in his hand, stood up and bowed respectfully to Mu Qingyan.
"Zuo Ning!" Mu Qingyan stood at the window and called softly.
Zuo Ning listened to a shallow "um" sound, his eyes still did not move away from the table, and his little hand quickly took back the scattered calculations, and then he slid off the chair and ran to the door to meet Mu Qingyan, hugged her thighs, and called her glutinously: "Mother!" β
Mu Qingyan picked her up and hugged her, and sat on the chair that Zuo Ning had just sat on, "Are you afraid that your mother will see it, so you put it away so quickly?" β
Zuo Ning shook his head silently, didn't explain a word, and looked curiously at Lin Fei who entered the door with the wine jar.
Lin Fei put the wine jar on the table, patted the soil on the seal, lifted the sealed cloth, and slapped it on the jar with one palm.
Feng Sai turned around and took out a fine porcelain cup, scooped half a bowl out and handed it to Mu Qingyan.
Mu Qingyan took the bowl and smelled it carefully, took a shallow sip and swallowed it, let the tip of his tongue roll in the wine a few times, then went down the throat at the base of his tongue, closed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly to let the wine out.
"Well, you two should taste it too, after today, I don't know whose belly this wine will fall into, it's a pity." Mu Qingyan took another sip and put it down, "Okay, Lin Fei, you go and get a jade pot, so that the orange and rich amber color can only look good when it is contained in the jade pot." β
Lin Fei turned around, and after a while, he came back with a fat petal-like jade pot, "Master, it's a pity that such a superb utensil is here." He watched with some reluctance as he poured the golden liquor from the black altar into the jade pot.
"Don't worry, I'll come back another day." Mu Qingyan grinned, and put the lid on the filled jade pot with his own hands, "Alas, I have to go to the palace for a trip." Sighing, "Wait for the smoke and maple dew to arrive and send it to the palace, don't delay too long." β
Lin Fei agreed, "What's the name of this wine?" β
"Red makeup!" Mu Qingyan said two words seriously, "It couldn't be more suitable, and it is also in time for today's brother Jue's wedding." β
She bent over and kissed Zuo Ling's delicate little face, "I'm afraid that this half moon in the capital is not very peaceful, so let Feng Sacrifice send you back to Bishui Manor tomorrow, okay?" β
"Well, listen to my mother." Zuo Ling nodded obediently in agreement, but his eyes peeked at the half bowl of wine left over from the light cigarette from time to time. None of the three of them noticed, and they were busy.
Just before Mu Qingyan walked out of the door of Qingqing Winery, Zuo Ling took the half bowl of wine and drank two sips, the sweetness was not too strong, but it was a little bitter and a little spicy. I couldn't help but be curious and drank two more sips, and my white cheeks had a beautiful color. After half a bowl of wine was in her stomach, she was top-heavy and leaned on the chair, frowning and tearing her clothes, unspeakably uncomfortable.
Feng Sai was really startled when she came in, smelling the smell of wine in her breath, and couldn't help but feel distressed and blamed herself. Carefully picked her up and put her on the couch, fortunately, she has the foundation of internal strength, and slowly infuses the meridians with internal force to help her disperse the wine.
An hour later, Zuo Ling's clothes were all soaked, and there were large patches of sweat on his forehead. She slept soundly, and the sacrifice was helpless, so she had to wrap it in a thin quilt and take advantage of the night to go to Shuiyue Villa.
After Mu Qingyan came out of the Qingyu, he drifted in from the west wall of the forbidden city as before, and walked around the main hall towards Chenghua Gate without his feet.
Today's palace is indeed lively, along the way the Praetorian Guards are much more heavily guarded, three or five steps on the two heavily armed palace guards stand in one word, the entire hall and the harem are surrounded.
Jumping out of the house and crossing the spine in the midst of the hosts is not difficult for her to have a very high light skill. She avoided the hustle and bustle of the front hall, and leisurely carried a pot of wine and landed behind the shadow wall of Changchun Palace, listening to the sound and distinguishing the position.
There were no less than 100 people in the entire Changchun Palace, and no one noticed until she entered the inner hall.
There was no one in the hall, and she quickly mixed the red silk to the emperor and queen's wine, and then withdrew. Just when he wanted to go out, he suddenly saw Shocking Guarding the door, if she went out like this, he would definitely find out.
frowned slightly, climbed the curtain with one hand and climbed up the beam, drowning in the middle of the piles of red yarn, carrying the pot of wine in exchange and watching the crowd coming in and out of the ground boredly.
The two palace maids entered the inner hall, walked over and picked up the wine jug and glass covered with red yarn, and walked quickly to the bedroom under the beckoning of the grandmother. Another woman in palace clothes walked a few steps and looked in through the door, seemingly very nervous, and a pair of eyes fell on the pot of wine.
Mu Qingyan intuitively looked at the wine jug in her hand, lifted the lid and sniffed it was nothing wrong, she was curious to find the departing woman, and her eyes chased her to the door. She jumped off the beam and ran out.
When he passed by the stunned side, he pushed the flask in his hand flat, "Then, go find the Tiger King to check what is inside." β
Stunned to see her run out of sight, and didn't have time to investigate how she got in, he hurriedly called the guards outside the palace and ordered, "Go and invite the Tiger King quickly." β
Mu Qingyan chased the palace maid into another remote and dilapidated courtyard, jumped from the back wall and hung upside down under the eaves.
"Mother, it's done." The palace maid's voice was a little rougher.
"You have made meritorious service, thank you for the thirteenth master in this palace!" A delicate voice was wanton and slow, "Go back, don't come to the palace easily, so as not to make people suspicious." β
"Yes, the slave and maid will leave." The palace maid's words were respectful, and there was no slackness.
Mu Qingyan watched the palace maid go out, and when she was about to leave, there was suddenly an extra breath in the house.
"You just believe in her so much, and you're not afraid that she will find out your identity?" The man's voice was slightly hoarse.
Mu Qingyan frowned, how could this voice be so familiar?
The woman spoke, "What are you afraid of, since she has ambitions, of course she has to take it back." I wronged you, so I could only hide in this dark house. β
"Don't be wronged, it's not that you accompany me all day long. Come, let me taste you again......" The man's light chuckle drowned out in a flurry of soot.
Mu Qingyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, and jumped out of the wall, muttering incessantly.
After identifying the location, he deliberately went around half of the red wall to the door, only to see that the head of the door said 'Zhaochun Palace', and he twisted his eyebrows and thought: Thirteen masters! Isn't that ...... She suddenly thought of who that man was, and she was also shocked in her heart, but she didn't expect that the person who couldn't be found in the world would be hidden in the palace.
Her mind was spinning, and she walked to the front hall. He just turned around a wall and crashed head-on into a man's arms.
Qin Yan smiled playfully on his lips, "Miss Mu took the initiative today, did she throw herself into her arms so urgently without the need for this king to abduct you?" He didn't let go of Mu Qingyan, held her shoulders against the wall, lowered his head and leaned very close, a familiar aroma filled his heart and lungs. Murmuring, "You're so fragrant!" Her lips couldn't help but print on her lips.
Mu Qingyan instinctively turned his head to avoid his lips, and scolded angrily, "Qin Yan, you bastard!" β
This scolding Qin Yan seemed to have been waiting for a thousand years, and at this time, it sounded more profound than any words. couldn't help but take her into his arms and hugged her tightly, his eyes were slightly red.
"You let go quickly, if you want to strangle me, Qin Yan ......" Mu Qingyan used both hands and feet, desperately breaking free.
Qin Yan had a gentle smile on her lips, and she refused to let go even if she was beaten, but she was afraid that she would run away, and the more she hugged her, the tighter she became. He whispered in his mouth, "You can't let it go anymore, you can't run away." β
