In May, Huadu, smoke willows around the embankment, wind curtain green curtain.

On the Weishui River in Qinglingling, merchant ships come and go, painting boats and singing, and the city on the bank of the Shili River is full of pearls and prosperity.

A thousand-year-old locust tree near the water stretches out its branches to the water, covering the long street, and the lush branches and leaves connect the century-old store - Furong Restaurant. The gold-lettered wine flags under the tree sway in the wind, the diners in front of the door are crowded, the wine in the building is fragrant, and the food is fragrant.

"It is said that Huadu is picturesque, and no matter how you look at it, it is not as majestic as Beisai. The scenery is like this, and so are the people. Deep in the locust tree, Ziyan woke up, stretched his waist and sat up, muttering to himself. "Goo-goo-goo-" came from a discordant sound in the stomach. Zi Yan picked up the leaves, the bright sun was very dazzling, and the sound of the painting boat made her sleep until the afternoon. While arranging her clothes and hair, she touched her stomach and said, "Fortunately, the delicious food in the capital is quite satisfactory." It's not a waste of money... Master, I sneak out of the house every day to taste, fennel pigeon, I'm here. With that, he turned over and hung upside down from the trunk of the tree, and when his hair swept over the water, he lightly hooked the soft branch with one foot, and touched the surface of the water with one foot, and with a slight swing of his figure, the man stood under the wine flag. The movements were dexterous and silent, and no one around them noticed.

Looking up and taking a formal look at the "Furong Building" signboard, the handwriting is thick, and the left and right pillars of the signboard are engraved with vermilion couplets: "Hong gradually in the land, feel at home". The origami fan was opened with a "bang", and the young "Brother Gongzi" wearing a brother's gown, Mu Ziyan, endured the cravings in his stomach, shook the fan, and strolled into the door of the wine-scented wine in a serious manner.

And all this was seen by Xiao Muchong, who had just been sent out of the door by the owner of the gambling house on the other side of the river. "Who is that kid, so light" The pair of Danfeng eyes were bored for four years after returning to Beijing, and they radiated like a prey for the first time. He flipped the silver bag in his hand and threw it to the entourage behind him: "Xiao Han, I haven't tasted the drunken shrimp in Furong Building for a long time."

"Xiao Er, a full set of Hibiscus Four Treasures" Mu Ziyan entered the door and ordered casually, and without waiting for the store's reaction, the person had already walked to the Eight Immortals table facing the window on the second floor. The view here is wide, you can see the prosperity of the long street in front, and you can enjoy the water color of the South Bridge in the back, I really don't understand what those people do downstairs if they don't sit in such a good position. Just thinking about it, he suddenly found that the noise of the four seats stopped suddenly, and the people who pushed the cups and changed the lamps at the entrance of the food all froze their movements, and looked at her in unison, no, he.

"Who's noble son, jade carving is like, tsk, it's a pity. ”

"No, the last time I sat in that position, the one who was beaten with a broken leg is said to be the eldest son of the political envoy of Huainan Bu. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then he was about to go upstairs with a smile, and the shopkeeper cleverly pulled a pair of sleeves.

"Shopkeeper Du, look at that little boy's dress, but you and I can offend, it's better to stabilize him first, and ask the young owner to deal with it, besides, that master hasn't been here for a few days, and the four treasures of Hibiscus are not a small business." Let's hurry up and serve the food, let him finish eating and leave. ”

Shopkeeper Du thought for a while, shook his head and shook off Xiao Er's hand, walked upstairs and bowed down, and said, "This guest officer, the four treasures of hibiscus you ordered will be made for you, it's just ...... However, this seat has already been reserved for guests, so could you please enjoy it in the main hall? "Xindao, although the master will give full silver compensation every time he finishes trouble, it will take some time to renovate the restaurant.

The whispering downstairs had already passed in Zi Yan's ears, Zi Yan poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip from his mouth to keep it warm, "Well, Hibiscus Turui is a good guest, a pot of new tea and pineapple, good tea." Learning from the master's tea tasting appearance, Zi Yan's movements were soothing: "Shopkeeper, the guest has paid a deposit in advance, how about I pay double?" The child's eyebrows are clear and his words are elegant, and he will be the first gentle son in the capital when he reaches adulthood. Whose family is this, whose family's is more beautiful and delicious than the four treasures of hibiscus!

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Ziyan upstairs, and no one paid attention to Xiao Muchong, the master and servant who were leaning on the doorpost on the left and right at the door of the hall, with wicker leaves in their mouths.

"This - little boy, we still have good tea in the store, why don't you go to the private room and taste it slowly. It is worthy of being in the shopping mall for a long time, and the shopkeeper Du avoided answering, with a smile on his face, thoughtful and loving, and his attitude was so loving that people couldn't refuse. It's just that the sweat on that face made Mu Ziyan very uncomfortable, who could make everyone feel so cold and beat his crippled legs? At the feet of the Son of Heaven?

"Well, shopkeeper Du, you just have to serve the food, if your guest really comes and wants to break my leg, it depends on his ability. "Mu Ziyan, who grew up with her father and brother and the guards outside the Saiwai, well, she can't pretend anymore, what a gentle son, she has tried several times, but she is not as comfortable as her nature. The water cup was put on the table, a few drops of water popped out, and his left foot was cocked to the side of the Eight Immortals stool, and his right hand opened the folding fan with a non-negotiable tone: "Give me a plate of melon seeds first." "Dare to love the capital, deceive the good and fear the evil?

Everyone downstairs blinked, and there was a boo, "It turns out that it's another gentleman!", but they regretted that they could show up and they could see a good show. It is rumored that the master in this capital is the demon king of the mixed world, but if you think about it carefully, the people who were disabled by him were people who the people hated and did not dare to provoke.

Downstairs, Xiao Han clasped his hands around his chest, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile and glanced at Xiao Muchong, the seat was occupied, and the title of "Little Master" was also robbed. What do you think?

Xiao Muchong ignored him, spit out the willow leaves with a smile, walked into the lobby, went straight upstairs, and roared in a low voice: "Xiao Er, give the master a pound of drunken shrimp." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this voice, his legs and stomach trembled, why did he just catch it up today. He really wished that the young owner was in the store, and although he was young, he was dexterous and could probably avoid a fight. After the last time the master disabled Zhu Huai, although everyone was happy, the restaurant was forced to close for renovation for a month, and this time it encountered a hard bar, I don't know how to end, he wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and turned around to greet guests respectfully.

"You go down first, today little... Happy, just share the table with this little brother, "The name of the master can be used by anyone, and I have to change it in the future." Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, Xiao Muchong sat down opposite Mu Ziyan. If the shopkeeper was amnesty, he went downstairs and ordered the two masters to serve food quickly.

"This is Xiao Muchong, the Demon King of the Mixed World, the fourth of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

"Be quiet, don't die. ”

The noise downstairs resumed, and a few very small voices came into Zi Yan's ears between the collisions of cups.

It turned out to be Xiao Muchong, he was born prematurely and was frail so he was taken to Lingnan by Master Ye Nanguang to practice, proficient in astronomy and pharmacology, light work and snow without a trace, and the master praised him every time he mentioned it to his father.

Xiao Muchong, who returned to the palace at the age of eleven, was unwilling to learn the rules of the palace, and was reluctant to enter the palace to accompany the princes to class, fainted as soon as he learned the rules, and coughed at the princes as soon as he entered the palace (weak), Xiao Chengxiang had no choice but to ask Mr. to teach him articles in the house, and as a result, more than a dozen gentlemen were teased by him to confess and resign. In less than half a year, no gentleman in the entire capital dared to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to teach the fourth prince, so angry that the Prime Minister threw up his sleeves and ignored him.

Xiao Muchong, who has nothing to do all day long, went to tease when he saw a serious second brother Xiao Muyan, and often teased the dignitaries and dignitaries who were guests in the house, and in the past five years, he has been in and out of the wine shop and gambling hall for five years, and injured countless children of the officials. He himself likes this "elegant name" very much, and specially found someone to make a "Demon King Pavilion" plaque, if it weren't for the prime minister pulling out his sword to hack him to death and being stopped by his queen's aunt and grandmother, he really wanted to hang the plaque on the door.

These rumors, when Mu Ziyan returned to Beijing from Biansai and followed his mother into the palace to see Queen Ye, he had already heard that several palace maids spread in the garden. Those palace maids probably knew that she had a marriage contract with Xiao Muchong, and when they saw that she was well-behaved, they couldn't help but feel sorry for her in a whisper. But no one knew that she had excellent ears and could distinguish the sound of birds flapping their wings a hundred paces away.

Xiao Muchong also poured himself a cup of tea, sniffed the edge of the cup to the tip of his nose, raised his eyes and stared directly at Mu Ziyan, only to see that "he" face was like a peach apricot, his eyebrows were delicate, his starry eyes were smart, his hair was tied up with bamboo hairpins, he was wearing a long shirt with blue silk and white trim embroidered with blue grass patterns, a purple and red jade belt around his waist, holding an ivory handle paper fan, and his chin was slightly raised to reveal the arrogance of underbeating. Thinking about the people who have not been repaired by him in the capital Shaozhong, he should still be endorsing Xishan Academy at this hour, and this kid in front of him has been extravagant at a young age, and his mouth is unruly, see if the master doesn't pick up your skin.

"The dishes are coming, the two masters, Jinghu Kung Fu Fish, Flower Fennel Pigeon, Water Lotus Tofu Soup, Laurel Drunk Yellow Shrimp, and our seasonal vegetables, you can use them slowly. The shopkeeper put a pot of fine hibiscus wine in front of Xiao Muchong, hesitated for a moment and looked at the little "son", estimating that he was not yet old enough to drink, so he only put a stack of melon seeds in front of her.

"Slow, pour wine for the little brother" Xiao Muchong's phoenix eyes were lazy and deep, and he looked at Mu Ziyan fixedly, the kid spoke old-fashioned, I was more dissolute than the master, no matter how disciplined I was, it would be a disaster for the capital in the future.

Mu Ziyan put down the water glass and looked at Xiao Muchong, who was a head taller than him, only to see that he was wearing a purple robe embroidered with green patterns, a white belt decorated with purple jade was tied around his waist, and the black hair that was simply tied up with a purple gold jade crown just spread over his shoulders, and the bangs that were scattered at random were blown up by the breeze, revealing the gently raised sword eyebrows, and on his handsome face like a knife, a pair of dark purple Danfeng eyes stared at her uninhibitedly, but inadvertently revealed a sharp light, the bridge of the nose was straight, and the lips hooked a beautiful arc like a smile but not a smile.

They all say that he is the demon king of the mixed world, and he thinks he is a rough and reckless man with a beard, but he never thought that he would be so... Eh, what are you thinking, don't you see his evil eyes, dangerous, dangerous. Mu Ziyan calmed down, got up and stretched his waist and sat on the edge of the window facing the street, with one foot on the windowsill and his knee supporting his arm. Grab a few melon seeds and throw them into your mouth, and after sipping them open, you will spit out the shell out of the window with a few "slurps", and the posture is completely different from the appearance of tasting tea before. "Xiao Muchong, the demon king of the mixed world, right?" she didn't have that temperament, let alone admit it, she was stubborn, and if she couldn't get around, she would take advantage of the situation to slip away from the window.

Well, it's best to eat a few bites before slipping. Seeing the four treasures of mirrors, flowers, water, and moon hibiscus on the table, my stomach rumbled again. But she still has to be reserved. That's right, just eat melon seeds. Master said that Xiao Mu Chong is extremely good at medicine. It's not fun if he's poisoned.

"You think that you have learned a few years of talent from Master Ye Junshi, but you have no respect for your superiors, you can't do it, you are a murderer in a wine shop, a luxury gambling shop, and you say that it sounds like a demon king in the world, but if it doesn't sound good, it is..." Shopkeeper Du listened to this and twitched his face, and hurriedly went downstairs, the expression was, I didn't hear anything.

"What is it that doesn't sound good?" Xiao Muchong's tone was slow, he heard the cooing sound, and looked at Mu Ziyan glanced at the pigeon leg on the table a few times, and secretly swallowed his saliva, so he casually drank a glass of wine and picked up a pigeon leg by himself, chewing slowly in his mouth, his teeth and cheeks overflowing, and the juice flowed from his lips.

Mu Ziyan looked distressed and greedy, and thought, my pigeon, I carefully planned to sneak out of the house and patiently waited for a long time before the fennel pigeon was eaten like this, is it unbearable or unbearable, let it go. "To put it mildly, Kyoto's No. 1 loser is stupid." It's not amazing, the eaters downstairs are all immersed in hard work, and we don't hear anything.

Xiao Muchong's chewing thin lips paused, and through the sound of gnashing teeth, the slightly raised phoenix eyes cast a cold light. "You, say it again. There was a clear anger and a hint of inquiry in his tone.

"I said, yes, Kyoto's No. 1 loser stupid, belch, the gentleman doesn't move his hands. Seeing Xiao Muchong stop his chopsticks, Xiao Han on the side forced to come to the window, Mu Ziyan was a little nervous and pointed at Xiao Han with a paper fan. "Could it be that the demon king of the mixed world started by bullying more and less or by bullying the small?"

Xiao Muchong motioned for Xiao Han to step back, picked up a piece of snow-white and translucent fish fillet, glanced at Mu Ziyan and raised his eyebrows, "Go on." Xiao Han didn't understand, why was the master so patient today, when it was normal, this kid would have been kicked into the river to feed the fish.

"Ahem, um-" Clearing his throat, Zi Yan continued: "Xiao Muchong, in addition to spending the prime minister's mansion silver taels since you were a child, have you ever earned money by yourself? It's a pity that a generation of virtuous ministers bowed to the essence, but they were impeached because of you all day long" As she said that, she jumped out of the window to the table, pushed Xiao Han away, and deliberately raised her voice, "As for stupid things, I can ask a question that a childish child can do, and you can't answer it even if you are afraid." Mu Ziyan took the lead and didn't give him a chance to refute and react.

"Oh, you use these four chopsticks to make a field of the field to try, don't break. If you can't put it out, you're stupid, next time I invite my master to eat the whole fish banquet of Jupin Pavilion. After saying that, he picked up the remaining pigeon legs with lightning speed and gnawed them, poisoning is a small matter, and starvation death is a big thing.

Xiao Muchong's thoughts returned to his eyes, what a fool who was the first loser, could it be that this kid was sent by Old Man Ye, could it be that in the past four years, he has accepted apprentices again? I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this Furong Building today,"

"If you can put it out, I will let you go today, if you can't put it out, the master will throw you into the river to feed the fish" Xiao Muchong glanced at the four chopsticks on the table, continued to drink the soup in the bowl, and played Tai Chi to push the problem to Mu Ziyan. Thinking in his heart, whether it was a coincidence or not, this kid had to be beaten.

"Okay, the big husband is hard to chase after him. Mu Ziyan waited for this sentence, she put down the paper fan, grabbed the four chopsticks, and hit them on the table, and then stared at Xiao Muchong with her eyes, Xiao Muchong stopped the bowl and waited for her next move, "Well, let's put it down." His knuckles had already made a sound, waiting to beat him, and the people sent by Old Man Ye were embarrassed to see him in the future if they didn't beat him. Xiao Han had already stood in front of the window and blocked her way, Mu Ziyan was not in a hurry, and thought, who wants to slip through the window, I want to swagger out from the main entrance.

Everyone held their breath, wanting to see how this little brother put out the word "Tian", seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, and the window had been blocked, they were really sweating for him.

"Little Er, bring paper and ink. We have to leave evidence for everyone to judge. Xiao Er immediately took the paper and ink from the counter, Mu Ziyan took it in his hand, turned to the downstairs and said loudly, "The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven are all people who can write and write and have a fair heart, now please let your uncles be a witness?"

When everyone heard this, their hearts were comfortable, and their chests consciously straightened a lot, and then they saw Zi Yan poke the chopsticks into the ink, and quickly pressed them on the white paper as if they were seals. "May I ask what is the word?" said his wrist, and a thin piece of paper flew downstairs, and was nailed to the pillar of the central hall by a bamboo chopstick that flew later.

With the sound, everyone turned their eyes to the piece of paper, and they all left their seats and went to the pillar to watch.

"Wonderful, it's Tianzi. ”

"Good Wisdom"

"Kung Fu is even better"

There was a commotion downstairs, and a black line crossed Xiao Muchong's mind, even if he came out of Lingnan, Old Man Ye would accept apprentices, and he would not be able to practice this internal strength in four years. It wasn't sent by Old Man Ye. Mu Ziyan didn't care what he was thinking, and said: "Thank you Prime Minister for agreeing, and the master will leave." "The fool just learned Master Xuanshi's tongue on a whim, or say something nice and hurry away, those children in the capital who were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth are not all vegetarians, and then jumped downstairs, raised their feet and wanted to leave.

"Slow" Xiao Muchong's voice with internal force sounded upstairs, the hall was silent, and he boldly told the people next to him that this master was going to be angry, and the judge Li who scolded him last time for not learning and not knowing how to do it was kicked by him and broke two ribs, and he is still lying on the bed. Mu Ziyan heard it clearly, her scalp was numb, she was not afraid of Xiao Muchong, but after coming out for a long time, her mother would find that she had slipped out of the house, and when she returned to the capital, her father and brother were often not at the house, and no one could save her by being punished by her mother. Turned around and pretended to be calm: Hehe, Xiao Gongzi regretted it?

Xiao Muchong raised a glass in his left hand and drank the wine slowly, took the paper fan on the table with internal force in his right hand, opened the fan and looked at it, then closed the fan, and said without looking back, "Your fan." With a "whoosh", the fan flew out and hit Mu Ziyan's chest.

Mu Ziyan listened to the voice, and the figure immediately flashed sideways, but it was too late, and the jade handle of the paper fan hit her right shoulder hard, and the whole person flew backwards with the paper fan and smashed over the hall pillar and smashed towards the counter.

"Ouch" - this sound did not come from Mu Ziyan, but from the shopkeeper Du. The moment he bypassed the hall pillar, Mu Ziyan's right foot turned with force, and he reached out and pulled the shopkeeper Du behind him. The two of them smashed into a pile of red cloth-covered wine jars. There was a "clang" sound, and the fine hibiscus wine gurgled out from the large and small jars. Mu Ziyan picked up the paper fan with one hand, picked up a few pieces of wine can fragments with the other, and flew the fragments upstairs with a whoosh. At the same time, the figure flashed out of the door, Xiao Muchong and the two avoided the flying things, and when they saw that the person had escaped from the door, they jumped down from the window.

From the long street to the top of the eaves, from the deep alleys to the woods, the two of them used light skills to chase after them. Mu Ziyan's shoulder hurt, after all, it was her daughter's body, and her physical strength was not enough, so she turned around Sifang Street in a hurry and came to Rouge Lane, and when Xiao Muchong and the two chased after her, they saw a bunch of women and young ladies in the alley looking at Rouge, and the West family looked at the hairpin ring, and the figure of the little boy of Jinyu had long been gone.
