Chapter 59: Old Knowledge

April 10, the old marquis Mu Tianhe anniversary festival. Although it has not been a three-year festival, all the side branches of the Mu family in Beijing have come to the house. This time, Xiao allowed Huaxi to attend, but it was the last to follow the female dependents of the side branch, and Huaxi didn't care much about it.

After the ceremony, because Mu Jizhong was generous in the first year of his success, he set up a banquet, so there was no shortage of broken households with side branches to fight the autumn breeze. Although the male and female dependents are separated, Huaxi feels that Wuyang is full of people. After following the others and finishing the salute, looking at the crowd of people, Huaxi sneaked out of the sacrificial hall, bypassed the patio behind the hall, and walked along the mezzanine to the west corner gate back to the inner courtyard. Who knows when he arrived at the place, the doorkeeper didn't know where to hide to eat and drink and lock the door, Huaxi had to go east through a small garden, and then pass from the cloister to the second gate and go back.

As soon as I walked into the garden, I heard four or five people talking in the pavilion in the other corner of the garden, like a few brothers from the side branch resting and chatting in one place, chatting nothing more than gossip in various houses in the capital, as well as the hot topic of the draft during this time.

"Coincidentally, the selection was made in May...... When the mourning period expires, there is no delay. ”

"It's not that there is a virtuous concubine Niangniang circling around the palace, otherwise how can it be delayed until this time......."

"Ah, I see. I said the last draft was in March, and this time it's May! Did you see the four girls in the house just now? I can't really see it from afar...... I heard that the eldest lady gave birth to the best girl......"

"Not necessarily, I've seen a more beautiful ......"

"Who is it?"

"I won't tell you!"

"Ignore him, it's nonsense. Speaking of girls, I was fortunate to meet them when I was at the Qinghu Poetry Club. ”

"How to ......"

A group of teenagers in the voice-changing period shouted at the male duck, Huaxi felt that her ears were buzzing, and she didn't dare to go to the corridor, and sneaked to the corner of the wall and walked along the wall to the crescent gate.

"Who's over there?" I don't know who found Huaxi and shouted.

Huaxi paused, then quickened his pace and ran towards the Crescent Gate. Although she is a relative of the side branch, she is a foreign man after all, and she doesn't even bring a maid by her side, so it's not good to hear it.

When the man saw that he shouted, Huaxi not only did not stop, but ran faster, and immediately shouted again: "Isn't Mo a thief from somewhere?" Stop me! ”

"Practice, Practice......"

Huaxi heard someone shouting behind him, and he just walked forward through the crescent moon gate with his head down.

Huaxi is not a delicate lady who does not go out of the door, when she was a child, she ran in the mountains, and she didn't stop exercising when she returned to Mufu, and others ran much faster, and the person didn't catch up for a while.

Huaxi ran for a while, probably feeling that the person behind her was still chasing, and scolded in her heart, how could she meet a flute head, I didn't see her at the girl's house wearing filial piety clothes, and she kept chasing her out of the crescent moon gate until now.

The road is very long, Huaxi is a little tired from running, he glanced back, and found that the person was chasing after him, so he simply stopped, and when he saw that there was no one around, he pointed at the person who came and shouted: "Stop!" Which house came out? I don't know the rules at all, and then run around in other people's mansions. The front is to the second gate, is it possible that you still have to enter the inner courtyard as a man? ”

The man was so drunk by Huaxi that he stopped, stared at Huaxi in a daze, and muttered to himself, "You're not a thief?" Could it be the maid in the house? No, the maid doesn't wear filial piety clothes? How do I look familiar to you? ”

The person who came was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with a small square face, slightly dark skin, sword eyebrows flying obliquely, narrow eyes, hanging gallbladder nose and thick lips, wearing a plain clothes, his hair tied up and wearing a square scarf, and his waist was straight, looking heroic.

If it weren't for the relentless pursuit in the front, and the words in the back, Huaxi's image of him would be a little better.

Huaxi glared at the young man, turned his head and left without saying a word.

The young man didn't chase after him, he was still thinking hard about where Huaxi was familiar, and suddenly saw Huaxi turn around and leave, and shouted: "You are Huaxi!" ”

At this time, Huaxi was stunned, turned to look at the young man, made sure that he didn't know this person, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

The young man recognized Huaxi and said happily: "You don't remember, I happened to be with Brother Yuan on the night you went to worship the old marquis last year. ”

Huaxi frowned and recalled for a long time, only remembering that there were two people who followed Mu Xiuyuan to keep the spirit together, a fat and a handsome young man, but the person in front of him didn't seem to match the two of them.

Huaxi shook her head, "No impression......"

The young man patted his head suddenly, "Look at me, you must not be impressed when you were fatter than now." My name is Mu Xiuli, and the old marquis and my grandfather are brothers. Last night, I called you 'fairy', I don't know if you have any impressions? ”

After the young man finished speaking, he felt a little rude, his face flushed, don't look over his head and not look at Huaxi.

Hearing that the young man had just reported his name, Huaxi almost laughed out loud, "Repair the ceremony", repair. It turned out that he was the little fat of that night. I haven't seen it in a year, but it's a big change.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Shuri. Huaxi didn't recognize her brother, so she had an apology. Huaxi couldn't help but laugh, and Fufu gave him a salute.

Mu Xiuli stretched out his hand to help Huaxi up, but when he noticed that something was wrong, he quickly withdrew his hand and put it behind him, coughed twice, and replied seriously: "Sister doesn't need to be polite." Half a year ago, I entered the Chengjun Mansion as a guard, and I lost a lot of weight this year, and it is common sense that you can't recognize it. ”

Hearing King Chengjun again, Huaxi couldn't help frowning, and glanced at Mu Xiuli up and down, from a fat and thin child to a capable young man, the training of the guards in the Chengjun Palace's Mansion must not be ordinary hardship. Thinking of the handsome and elegant prince who had a two-sided relationship, Huaxi couldn't help but feel a little jealous of King Chengjun in his heart.

"My brother can follow King Chengjun, and he has a bright future. Huaxi congratulated her brother first. ”

Mu Xiuli saw Huaxi smiling, and was praised by her for a while, and he was busy returning the salute.

Huaxi said: "Today's facts are a misunderstanding. Huaxi is a female dependent, and it is inconvenient to see outsiders, so she walks a little faster. Later, my brother will return to the front yard and the inner courtyard will take care of me. Huaxi thanked me again, there is still something in my hospital, so I won't stay here for long, and I will retire first. ”

"Oh, sister, don't worry, Xiuli knows how to measure. Sister go slowly! ”

After sending Huaxi away, Mu Xiuli turned back to the small garden just now with a smile on the corner of his lips.

When everyone saw Xiuli coming back, they waved their hands and greeted Xiuli, who didn't hear it, and stupidly walked into the pavilion and sat on the porch bench with their heads bowed and snickered.

A tall and thin young man in the pavilion quipped: "Hey, you caught a thief with a spring breeze on your face, didn't you meet a female snitch?" ”

When Xiu Li heard this, he was annoyed, raised his head and shouted: "This is the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, what are you talking about here, and you will be listened to carefully by others...... Where is the thief, yes, I am mistaken. It's just a maid in the house, anxious to go to the inner courtyard to spread the word. ”

"Isn't she a handsome girl? is more handsome than the girl, which has made our Muda guards tempted! I don't know who shouted, and everyone burst into laughter.

Xiu Li blushed and glared at the coaxed man.

The handsome young man nodded, leaned over to Mu Xiuli and whispered, "Xiuli, is there the girl Jun we saw during the wake last year?" I remember you kept saying you wanted to find a ......."

Mu Xiuli was shocked, ignoring the shouting of others, covering the young man's mouth and pulling him out of the pavilion, and scolded in a low voice: "Xiuhe shut up!" ”

Everyone thought that Xiu Li was shy, and pulled Xiu He, who had just teased him, out to settle the account, but they didn't notice that Xiu He's eyes lit up when Xiu Li covered his mouth, and he followed Xiu Li without struggling.

Mu Xiuli dragged Xiuhe to the other side of the garden, avoiding everyone before letting go.

Mu Xiuhe tugged at Xiuli's sleeve and asked, "Tell me honestly, have you seen Huaxi?" Was that person just now? ”

Xiu Li was stunned for a moment, pouted and nodded, "Your stinky mouth knows how to talk nonsense!" There must be a reason why Mrs. Xiao didn't mention the matter of Miss Huaxi to the people of her family. It's understandable that Brother Yuan didn't tell us. I thought she had left early, but I didn't expect to run into her today. You are still yelling, in case you climb out of her, it won't ruin her reputation. ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, hehe, I didn't expect her to be in the Hou Mansion......" Xiuhe laughed twice, "You bastard, you're really lucky!" I didn't expect to run into you again, hey, I shouldn't have just wanted to stop you, I should have followed you to catch the thief......"

Xiu He's face was full of regret, and Xiu Li raised his eyebrows, "So that you don't look down on me to go to the county king's mansion as a guard." If it weren't for the fact that I could get that job while practicing martial arts, it would be impossible to find out that someone had just slipped over. ”

Xiu He grabbed Xiu Li and asked him about Huaxi, and it happened that Mu Xiuyuan came from the front yard to look for the brothers who were resting here, and caught a glimpse of the two whispering under the plane tree on the side, and walked straight over.

"What are you doing here?"

Mu Xiuli looked up and saw Xiuyuan, and walked over quickly, "Okay, you Xiuyuan!" Miss Huaxi has been living in the house, hasn't she? ”

Xiu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "How do you know?" ”

Xiu He followed and added: "Today, Brother Li'er met someone who was in a hurry, and thought it was a thief, but when he caught up and took a look, he found out that it was her. You tricked her into going home. ”

At the beginning, the two of them asked Huaxi about her life history, Xiuyuan fooled him, and he was so annoyed that he sent the two of them two or three times, and finally simply told them that Huaxi was gone, which eliminated the thoughts of the two.

At this time, I heard them seeing Huaxi again, and Mu Xiuyuan was not irritable.

"Huaxi has Yi blood, and the old lady pitied her for being lonely, so she was in the house. At that time, you also knew that the saint was hesitant about the matter of inheriting the lord, and the old lady was afraid of complications, so she told the people in the house not to spread the word. Besides, although Huaxi is a distant relative, she is also surnamed Mu, what else do you want to do? ”

Xiuli and Xiuhe were stagnant when they heard this, and they were not allowed to intermarry according to the Dahua law, even if they had some good feelings for Huaxi, they would not end up again. Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but look depressed.

Seeing this, Xiu Yuanyuan knew that his words had an effect, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, smiled and grabbed the shoulders of the two and walked forward, "My Fair Lady is good, without Huaxi, there are even better." The two of you are also young talents, and you don't have to worry about not having a beautiful woman to accompany you. Let's go, the table is already in front of us, and call the others to go with us. ”

Xiu Li shook his head helplessly, turned his head and asked Xiu Yuan again: "Last time, I heard the king of the county mention Huaxi, and I thought it was a mistake, do you know if the person mentioned by the king of the county is the same person as the person in your house?" ”

Mu Xiuyuan frowned slightly, and Xiuhe smiled: "Xu is that you have listened to the errand, you must be a person with the same name and surname." Brother Yuan said that Huaxi has been in the mansion all the time, how can he know King Chengjun? ”

"Yes, it could be someone with the same name and surname......"

Hearing Xiuli mention King Chengjun, Mu Xiuyuan suppressed the restlessness in his heart and surged up again, vaguely hoping that King Chengjun would never have anything to do with Huaxi again......
