Chapter 20 Exploitation

Hearing this, Xu Ru immediately made a dignified appearance, covered half of her face with a fan, and asked Jade in a low voice, "You say, if I go back to change my clothes, will he think that I don't want to see him and become unfamiliar with me?" Or ......," she hesitated again, "I'll just get there?" Seeing that Li Gongzi looked over again, he suddenly changed his words again, "No, let's go back and change it, I want to bring the newly bought Jinbu ......."

"No need, if he really likes you, he won't care what you wear......" Mu Wanqiu said lightly, walking towards the water pavilion.

She didn't want to bump into the prefect Lord Xu and that Li Gongzi.

"You ......," Xu Ru remembered her, "...... How do you know? ”

How do you know?

Mu Wanqiu showed a strange smile on her face, and muttered in a low voice, "If you live for two lifetimes, you will also know ......"

"What did you say?" didn't hear clearly, Xu Ru grabbed her, "You and him ......"

Halfway through the words, facing Mu Wanqiu's swarthy face, her voice stopped abruptly, and she said secretly, "Look at her facial features, although her facial features are still beautiful, but with such a dark face, a person as transcendent as Li Gongzi will never like her......"

Suddenly thinking about it, Xu Ru's tone softened a lot, "How did you meet?" ”

“…… We? ”

She had never been to Pingcheng in her previous life, how could she have come here for the first time in this life, how could she know Li Gongzi, Zhang Gongzi, hearing this, Mu Wanqiu also turned her head to look at Li Gongzi in the mouth of Xu Ru, who was walking slowly along the edge of the pond and Lord Xu, and was facing his eyes, Mu Wanqiu's body was shocked.

The white clothes were fluttering, he shook the folding fan calmly, leisurely, like an idle cloud in the clear blue sky, it was the white-clothed boy who passed her in the gambling house that night.

Retracting her gaze, Mu Wanqiu frowned, carefully searched the memories of her previous life, shook her head, and said secretly: "Such a transcendent and lofty person, anyone who will not forget it at a glance, if I saw it in my previous life, I would definitely remember it." ”

She should have never seen him, who is he, why is Lord Xu, who is the prefect of the Gui Mansion, respectful to him?

“…… And say you don't know him? Seeing Mu Wanqiu's expression change, Xu Ru's face immediately changed.

"I ......"

"White Girl......" As she spoke, Lord Xu's personal attendant walked briskly, "...... Lord Xu and Mr. Li are invited. ”

“…… Li Gongzi wants to see her? Xu Ru pointed to her nose, her voice unusually high, "...... He didn't call me? ”

"Miss, they're watching......" Jade reminded.

Xu Ru hurriedly closed her mouth, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes when she looked at Mu Wanqiu.

“…… When the adults invite me, they must be discussing the matter of asking for rain, do you want the eldest lady to go over together? Being under house arrest on someone else's turf, Mu Wanqiu didn't want to offend this eldest lady, seeing Xu Ru like this, she said gently.

Thinking that the little girl in front of her was under house arrest by her father because she boasted that she could ask for rain, Xu Ru's eyes lit up, and the ground darkened, "She didn't invite me, so I won't go!" ”

There was a bit of willfulness in her tone, and her eyes were instantly full of grievances.

Mu Wanqiu shook her head and walked towards the verandah.

"Hey......" Xu Ru stopped her behind her back, "Remember later, what he told you, you have to tell me the truth!" ”

Without looking back, Mu Wanqiu's feet froze, and then she walked forward again.

Before she got closer, she felt a sharp gaze staring at her tightly, Mu Wanqiu's heart jumped, her eyes secretly belched forward, and Lord Xu was looking at her coldly, with a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"I made a fool of the officials of various prefectures and counties in front of everyone, he is unwilling......" Mu Wanqiu sighed inaudibly.

It's not a good thing to be trapped in the government and be so hostile to the governor of one side.

The thought flashed, Mu Wanqiu came to the two of them unhurriedly, first greeted Lord Xu, and without waiting for him to introduce him, he gently blessed the white-clothed man, "Li Gongzi is here......" There was a faint intimacy in his tone, like an old friend for many years.

Sometimes, you don't have to say anything, you just make the other person feel that you are close to someone he respects, and he will look the other way, even if it is hostile.

But on the one hand, are they so familiar?

A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and the man in white was about to speak, when he caught a glimpse of Lord Xu's slightly annoyed and surprised gaze, and smiled unconsciously.

Knowing how to take advantage of the situation, what a smart little girl!

"We're meeting again......" he smiled and nodded, pun intended.

Seeing that he hadn't dismantled the stage, Mu Wanqiu put her heart in her stomach, turned to Lord Xu, and gave a gentle blessing, "...... I don't know what the adults called the people's daughters? ”

Although the dress is plain, Mu Wanqiu's gestures are faintly full of grace, especially this blessed body just now, the etiquette has been done to the extreme, and Lord Xu is secretly shocked in his heart, this is definitely not something that a poor family can teach!

I don't know that her behavior was specially trained to serve those wealthy and powerful people under the whip of Chunxianglou's mother in her previous life, thinking that even her own daughter could not do such a perfect etiquette, and seeing that Li Gongzi's expression was also very intimate, for a moment, Lord Xu felt a sense of awe for the little girl in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and his tone softened unconsciously:

"Oh, it's for the rain, I don't know ...... white girl"

"I heard that the white girl wants to be a rain boy and beg for rain for the people of Pingcheng?" Before Master Xu finished speaking, the man in white intercepted him, looked directly at Mu Wanqiu, and said, "...... Your face is as pure and elegant as a jade girl, maybe you can really try it as a child......"

"Li Gongzi misunderstood...... Mu Wanqiu blessed slightly, "I want to go to the altar to ask for rain in person......"

"Ascend the altar to beg for rain......" The man in white looked at Mu Wanqiu deeply, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

Mu Wanqiu raised her head slightly and straightened her back.

"Climb the altar and ask for rain? What does the white girl mean......" Lord Xu was also stunned, "This official still wants to build a rain altar?" ”

"I was about to talk to my lord......" Mu Wanqiu nodded, "Please also ask your lord to build a rain altar on the side of the Dragon King River outside Pingcheng facing the northwest direction, and I will personally go to the altar to ask for rain in three days......

"Okay......" Lord Xu nodded briskly, "This official will send someone to ride!" Then he asked, "What else does the White Girl want?" There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

This is better, so that the people of Pingcheng can watch her climb the altar to ask for rain, if it can't rain, then the responsibility is hers, and no one will think of the fact that the officials of the government have not fasted!

"Hmm......" Mu Wanqiu pondered for a moment and then spoke in detail.

The man in white arched his hand towards Lord Xu, "...... My lord has something to do, so I'll take my leave. ”

"Li Gongzi walk slowly......" Seeing that he was leaving, Lord Xu took a few steps, nodded and followed behind, and turned around to greet Mu Wanqiu, "Miss Bai, wait a minute, the official will talk to you in detail when I turn around." ”

Looking at the back of the man in white who was gradually moving away, Mu Wanqiu frowned: "Why did he let me be a boy begging for rain?" Is it so hard that he doesn't know that this is the way to die? ”

“…… What did he tell you? I don't know when, Xu Ru stood behind Mu Wanqiu angrily, "What did you say, why did he turn around and leave?" ”

“…… He wanted me to be a rain boy. Her eyelids didn't move, and Mu Wanqiu's voice was faint.

"Asking for rain boy......" Xu Ru's voice stopped abruptly, her father said in person, to be a rain boy, but there is no return!

Turning around, Xu Ru looked at Mu Wanqiu's back in a daze, forgetting that she hadn't answered her words yet.

It's the sixth day of the new year, and I'm going to work again, and I feel more tired than going to work during the New Year......
