At noon, Beichen Ye chartered the venue as always, and the guards filled the entire Xiuyuan Building, and the prefect Lu and the big and small officials still left a table in the lobby on the first floor under the special arrangement of An Ruoyun. Vertices

When Mu Jia and Beichen Ye came in, everyone knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Xiuyuanlou was named by the emperor, and Boss An is a disciple of Lord Mu, and I want to order a few dishes to try."

An Ruoyun clasped her hands and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your love." ”

Mu Jiaren chose to help in the back kitchen, and everything seemed to go back to the past.

Beichen Ye is kind to him, and it is also a happy thing to invite everyone to this meal.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, Han Yunqian came over to settle the bill, and Mu Jiaren said that he didn't have to pay.

"Naturally, you have to pay for eating, and your mind can be put on the son of the world alone."

Han Yunqian took out the silver and looked at the water sign on the counter: "It's all clear, no more, no less." ”

When he was about to leave, Mu Jiaren called An Ruoyun aside and took out a silver ticket and handed it to him.

"You have sent me money all these years, and I don't need so much, and now it takes a lot of money to decorate Xiuyuan Building, you can take these."

An Ruoyun shook her head: "I can't take this money, Master asked me to take care of you, and in the future, you will follow the world, and there will be many places where you need money." ”

An Ruoyun looked at the silver ticket of 1,000 taels and was reluctant to accept it, although he would send silver every month for so many years, she actually saved 1,000 taels, which shows how frugal life is on weekdays.

"I'll take it for you, why are you talking so much!"

After stuffing it into his hand, An Ruoyun asked worriedly: "Did you and the palace sign a deed of sale?" How much does it cost to redeem oneself? ”

"She didn't sell to the royal palace, she married ......"

"It's for the palace temporarily!" Mu Jiaren flew up to cover Beichen Ye's mouth, and then found that something was wrong, so he hurriedly let go, "Your Highness, the corners of your mouth have not been wiped clean." ”

Beichen Ye saw that she hadn't come, so he came to look for her, and heard An Ruoyun's words as soon as she got closer.

"Since that's the case, take care of yourself and come back when you're done." An Ruoyun accepted the silver ticket, "I'll help you save it first, and when you get married, it will be used as a dowry." ”

Beichen Ye was a little puzzled: "A thousand taels can also be regarded as a dowry?" ”

"Ordinary people like us, this is already a glorious marriage." Mu Jiaren explained.

"Really? Then you marry ......"

"Your Highness, it's not too early, let's go."

Mu Jiaren pulled him away, didn't he say that he would keep this relationship secret first? Now that so many people are speaking, don't they all know about it?

Beichen Ye was obediently pulled into the carriage, and Yun Zheng ordered to set off.

"Your Highness, you said that you said that it would be kept secret, why did you forget it?"

"But I don't want to keep it secret, you go back to the palace, so that I can rest assured."

"After I go back, I worry about you every day, I don't want to live such a day, I would rather be by your side with you."

Hearing Mu Jiaren's words, Beichen Ye was very relieved, and stretched out his hand to pull her closer to his side: "If you stay, you must protect yourself." ”

"Hmm."

Because of the long delay in Tianshui City, half of the route into Beijing was taken by official roads, half by closer paths, and less on the way to the city.

Every day when they rested, Mu Jiaren prepared meals for Beichen Ye, and on this day, they passed by a bamboo forest, and Mu Jiaren became interested: "Your Highness, there is no one here, why don't we try our swordsmanship." ”

Beichen Ye chuckled: "You don't have internal strength, how can you compete with me?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"Then use a bamboo pole and point it to the end."

Beichen Ye also felt that he had not been active for a long time, and the two got out of the car to compete in the bamboo forest.

After a few moves, Beichen Ye found that she actually focused on her own weaknesses.

"Master taught you?"

"Hmm." Mu Jiaren nodded, "Dongfang senior said that I have no internal strength, so I can help you train your swordsmanship." ”

"Then you're welcome."

Beichen Ye didn't give in anymore, but took it seriously, Mu Jiaren was so good at light that he flew away if he couldn't hit him.

The two walked through the bamboo forest, and after a while, they moved away from the convoy.

Yun Zheng saw that they had gone a little far, so he immediately ordered to chase after them.

After two quarters of an hour of competition, Beichen Ye won, but Mu Jiaren was a little unwilling in her heart, obviously she had a chance.

"Come again, come again, I haven't done my best."

Beichen Ye nodded: "Okay." ”

The two tried again, but Mu Jiaren still lost.

She didn't understand that she knew every weakness of his, so why couldn't she break it? And Beichen Ye didn't use internal force, they just made a move, she should have a good chance of winning.

Just when she was puzzled, the mountain wind blew and suddenly smelled a burst of flowers, she got up and went to look for it, and sure enough, there was a valley in the depths of the bamboo forest, which was full of all kinds of flowers.

"Like?" Beichen Ye walked up to her.

Mu Jiaren nodded.

"Then go down and have a look."

The two of them walked into the valley together, and found that the valley was planted not with flowers but with grass, to be more precise, a plant with leaves like flowers, and the leaves at the top of them grew into wineglass-shaped flowers, with no stamens in the middle, and blue sap like dew in the center.

"It's weird."

Mu Jiaren thought it was magical, the two looked at it, and the guards came over and called them back.

"Master, Miss Mu, we are almost resting, and this place is far away from the convoy, so let's go back early."

The two walked back together, and as soon as they got out of the valley, suddenly a woman rushed out of the bamboo forest, threw herself in front of them, and directly hugged the feet of the guards in front of them.

The guard immediately drew his sword to protect the two of them in the middle, and looked at the people on the ground: "Who are you!" ”

The woman on the ground looked up, her cheeks thin and dirty, and her clothes were stained.

When the woman saw the guard, she immediately spoke: "Please, save me, I don't want to go back!" ”

Before they could ask, four strong men ran out of the bamboo forest, dressed like ordinary people, and when they saw the woman on the ground, they immediately stepped forward to grab her and set her up, and gagged her with a cloth.

The woman kept struggling, Mu Jiaren was a little strange, and one of the men stepped forward to explain: "Don't worry, she is my niece, she has been stimulated before, and her spirit is not normal, she always feels that someone wants to harm her, let's take her back and disturb a few, I'm sorry." ”

Several people apologized and led the girl into the valley.

"Beauty, let's go." Beichen Ye pulled Mu Jiaren away, he could see that Mu Jiaren was moved with compassion again, in his opinion, no matter how woman looks and identities, she needs to be guarded against.

Mu Jiaren followed her into the carriage, and she was thinking about the woman all the way, she didn't look like she had a mental problem, and the despair and fear in her eyes felt real.

"Still worried?"

Beichen Ye said.

Mu Jiaren nodded: "She is so thin, whether she is really sick or not, her life should be very hard." ”
