Chapter 286: If I Had Met You Earlier
I saw that the person who came was eight feet tall, wearing a red gold crown, his hair was like splashing ink, his face was like a crown of jade, a pair of fox eyes were flying up, faint with a little amorous, thin lips were lightly pursed, a smile was looming, and the pear vortex on the left side was shallow and seductive.
He shook a black gold fan in his hand, wore a crimson robe, and walked in the darkness, like a cluster of jumping flames, and the smoke-colored jade pendant on his waist rippled with the wind, adding to the elegant and graceful posture.
"Murong Xi?" Du Mei was a little stunned. With such a Peugeot figure, who else but him?
"What, you're not welcome?" Murong Xi took the folding fan and asked with a smile.
"Your business...... Got busy? Du Mei clearly saw that he left in a hurry that day, how could he have time to come here to join in the fun.
"When you ask this, I am very relieved, very relieved!" Murong Xi patted his chest exaggeratedly.
"Forget it, I can't make sense of you." Seeing that he didn't speak well, Du Mei gave him a blank look and ignored him no more.
"I've come all the way to congratulate you, why don't you arrange a meal for me?" Murong Xi blinked his eyes and put on the appearance of a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Okay, you can pretend to be a ghost in your own mansion, just get serious here!" Du Mei glared at him.
Murong Xi was born like an immortal, and he attracted attention everywhere, not to mention that in this shallow countryside, the people around him pricked up their ears and peeked at him and Du Mei talking with strange eyes.
"In Xia Murong Xi, when I first arrived in Guibao Land, please take care of me." When Murong Xi heard this, not only did he not restrain himself, but instead made a move, causing the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law to turn around and cover their mouths and snicker.
"Who is this?" Xu Shi saw that everyone was around, Du Mei and a man in brocade clothes were standing in the middle and talking, she approached and asked.
"Hello Mrs. Du, under Murong Xi, she is Du Mei's friend." Du Mei and the Xu family have seven or eight points of resemblance, Murong Xi didn't wait for Du Mei to speak, and he was already very discerning to bow to the end.
"Mother, I am a friend I met in Gangneung City, and I have helped me a lot." Du Mei was afraid that he would say something shocking again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu's arm and said.
"Yes, yes, I only recently learned that Du Mei won a reward, and I came from afar, but I didn't expect to catch up with such a lively scene!" Murong Xi was originally a person with a seven-trick exquisite heart, and when he saw Du Mei's situation, he knew that the Xu family probably didn't know what happened before, so he followed suit.
"Since we are friends from afar, let's eat with us." Xu patted Du Mei's hand and said kindly.
"Thank you, Mrs. Du!" Murong Xi responded happily.
Du Mei's family found an empty table and gathered a bench around, Xu held Jun Song and Du Mei and sat on a bench, Murong Xi sat on a bench alone, next to Du Mei's head, the three small ones sat opposite Murong Xi, and Du Shu and the two stunned people came over to sit, at this time, the flowing water seat was nearing the end, and there were no more than ten people at a table, and the women who helped took turns to serve the food, and their eyes quickly slipped around Murong Xi's handsome face.
The dishes were all served, and several people were about to move the chopsticks. But I heard the child shouting: "Sister Meizi, your family has come to relatives!" ”
Du Mei got up from the bench and looked in the direction of the sound.
Murong Xi also stood up and looked around, and scolded in his heart: "Which one doesn't have long eyes, come now!" ”
The person who came was extremely tall, wearing an ordinary sky blue arrow-sleeved robe, and while walking, the wind blew the corners of the robe, rolling like sparkling water waves. The black hair on his head was curled with a jasper hairpin, which was refreshing and clean, and only a large red birthmark on the left side of his face added a little hideous to his originally resolute face.
"You ......" Even though the face in front of him was covered under the red spots, Murong Xi recognized him at a glance!
"Cousin!" Seeing that Murong Xi seemed to have recognized Chu Lin, Du Mei immediately called out.
Murong Xi was so angry by Du Mei's cousin that he was so angry that he was full of villagers, so he had to sit down.
And Chu Lin dusted his eyes and saw Murong Xi sitting at the banquet swaggering, he was stunned at first, but quickly hid his stunned and walked to Xu's side.
"Auntie, how are you doing?" Chu Lin bowed.
"Good. Now that you're here, let's sit down and eat together. Xu recognized Chu Lin, but in front of the public, it was not easy not to accept his courtesy, so she had to deviate and give way slightly.
"Aunt Xie." Chu Lin raised his eyes and looked at the seat on the table, he walked straight to Murong Xi's side and bowed: "This brother Ren, how to call it?" ”
"In Xia Murong Xi, he is friends with Du Mei." When Murong Xi saw him coming, he gritted his teeth in anger, but he smiled as usual.
"Brother Chu Lin, sit down!" Du Gui brought a stool and placed it next to Murong Xi.
"Thank you, Katsurako." Chu Lin smiled and touched Du Gui's head, and sat down in his robe.
Murong Xi saw that Chu Lin was so close to Du Mei's family, and he dared to sit beside him proudly, he turned his eyes and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask where Brother Tai came from?" ”
"I came from the north in the early spring to find relatives, and now my grandfather intends to let me stay in Beijing to develop, intending to be closer to my aunt." Chu Lin coped with it freely, the previous words, Dujiagou people knew it, and the latter words were just to pave the way for coming often in the future.
"What kind of business does Brother Tai do? My family is also in business, and I can take care of it when the time comes. Murong Xi deceived him that he couldn't reveal his identity and deliberately squeezed him.
"Eat vegetables, this cook's skills are good!" Du Mei picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Murong Xi's bowl, interrupting him, she was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he would start a fight.
"Delicious food, no wine, it's a pity!" Murong Xi suddenly stood up and said arrogantly.
"That makes sense, sister-in-law, can you give us a pot of wine?" Chu Lin bowed his hand to the young woman serving the food next to him.
"Just come." The young woman didn't dare to look at Chu Lin, but peeked at Murong Xi and answered softly.
In a few moments, the young woman brought the flask and took four glasses of wine.
"Would you like a drink?" Murong Xi carried the wine jug and asked Du Shu and the two stunned with a smile.
Du Shu has never drunk, and seeing that the two of them seem to be fighting for Du Mei openly and secretly, he already knew in his heart that Du Mei only has brother and sister feelings for him, and he has quietly let go of his thoughts. In this way, he shook his head at Murong Xi calmly.
Although the second stunned man was greedy for a cup, but when he saw the tense posture on the table, he shrank his neck knowingly, and waved his hand again and again to refuse.
Seeing that neither of them was drinking, Murong Xi poured a glass for himself and Chu Lin.
"Brother, please." Murong Xi raised his glass and touched Chu Lin lightly.
"Brother Ren, please." Chu Lin drank it all.
When Chu Lin was drinking with his neck up, Murong Xi suddenly stretched out his legs and kicked the stool he was sitting on, but he saw that Chu Lin's drinking action did not stop, his lower coil was steady, and he attacked in a chain under his feet, stretched out his left leg to block the attack, and probed his right foot to hook Murong Xi's stool, Murong Xi failed to sneak attack, so he had to return his legs to take care of himself.
The two of you come and go, toast and drink with harmony on the table, and talk and laugh with the Du Mei sisters, but under the table they are trying their legs and feet in a-for-tat competition!
Juniper had never played so late, and now he was humming and chirping, the mosquitoes in autumn were the most poisonous, and they had already bitten two bags on his white and tender little face. Xu felt sorry for him, and after feeding him some food, he ate some casually in three or two bites, and then got up and planned to go back first.
At this time, Murong Xi and Chu Lin had just made a truce, and they all stood up and gave each other off with a smile on their faces.
There was no one on the table around them, Du Shu and Er Dumb had already eaten, but they were just sitting together, and when they saw that Xu was gone, they also left to watch the play.
The three little ones, I haven't seen Chu Lin for a long time, and now without the restraint of my mother, I pestered him to go to the theater together, Chu Lin couldn't, took a deep look at Du Mei, and took a bench to accompany the three little ones.
"Amei, do you know that he lied to you more than just his identity!" Murong Xi couldn't bear it any longer, but he still didn't care about the presence of others, so he only shouted in a low voice.
He had just seen a tenderness in Du Mei's eyes that he had never seen before, and his heart twitched, and if he didn't say anything more, he was afraid it would be too late.
"He's a last resort." Du Mei said lightly, she took a piece of fish meat in the bowl and slowly picked the thorns.
"Do you know who ordered that screen you embroidered?" Murong Xi asked with red eyes.
"I know, it's Chu Lin." Du Mei's tone was unfazed.
"Do you know that Ye Dan and Ye Qing were sent by him?" Murong Xi was shocked when he heard this, but he still continued to speak without giving up.
"Yes, there are stones sent by him." Du Mei raised his face to look at Murong Xi, his face was as heavy as water, and there were no ripples.
"Do you know that there is ...... in his house," Murong Xi gritted his teeth and asked again.
But before he finished speaking, Du Mei had already spoken, and said solemnly: "Murong Xi, I have always regarded you as a friend, a very good friend, don't let me down, don't wait until the end, I don't even have to be a friend!" ”
Murong Xi looked at Du Mei steadily, friend, friend, these two words echoed in his mind like a spell, buzzing.
"Are you really not afraid of anything for him?" Murong Xi risked breaking off his friendship and asked very seriously.
"Hmm." Du Mei nodded firmly.
"I see." Murong Xi smiled bitterly, he was one step late after all!
"Is it so painful to be my friend?" Seeing that he was smiling very reluctantly, Du Mei said dissatisfied.
"If I had met you earlier, you would have ......" Murong Xi groaned, picked up his wine glass, and finally said the next sentence, "Would you like me?" He swallowed the wine.
The soju enters the throat, and it is spicy and choking, and it pickles the heart bitterly.
"How can there be so much, don't drink, this wine is very strong." Du Mei snatched the flask and blamed.
"I've drunk the wine and said it, so it's time for me to go." Murong Xi stood up with a smile.
"It's so late, where are you going alone?" Du Mei regarded him as a friend, and when he saw that he seemed to be drunk, he couldn't help but be concerned.
"Why are you so good to me, I am reluctant to let go!" Murong Xi muttered in a low voice.
"Do you want me to ignore you?" Du Mei frowned, as the saying goes, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, it seems that a man's mind is not easy to ponder!
"I'm fine, Yan Mo came with me." When Murong Xi heard this, his heart warmed, and he smiled, his eyes bright.
"Then be careful on the road." When Du Mei heard him say this, he was relieved.
"You little conscienceless, you're in a hurry to drive me away." Murong Xi stabilized his mind and returned to his original ruffian and cool appearance.
"You ......" Du Mei was completely speechless, which of this guy's words is true?
