Chapter 15: The Reception Feast

The carriage was not fast, Xia Liang looked at the pedestrians outside the window, she was not good at words, so she walked down the way and only made a quiet listener.

The car finally stopped next to a quiet and chic courtyard, and the young man who drove the car respectfully helped Cao An out of the carriage. Xia Liang and the four of them also jumped out of the carriage one by one behind Cao An.

The people have been delivered, the young man who drove the car drove away, Cao An glanced at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and then looked at the few of them and said: "Four young masters, Your Highness has been waiting in Zhuyun Tower for a long time, and a few of them come with me!" ”

A group of four people followed behind Cao An, passing through the deep and secluded passage on the way, but saw a red plum budding bloom. The slightly cold air is filled with a faint fragrance, the rockery stands in the distance, the strange peaks are listed, I don't know where the pavilion, who is playing, and the sound of the piano enters the merlin.

I walked all the way along the stone path to the end, but I saw that the plum blossoms here were even more blooming, like a fire that was stacked and full of branches.

Under the plum tree, I saw a small pavilion with carved beams, the pavilion was equipped with a low table, and a small red clay furnace was on it, and a milky white small wine jar was warmed.

The ground is a few times lower, and the high-quality white velvet is paved, so that in this cold weather, even if you sit on the ground, you will not feel the coldness of the ground. Helian Mu sat quietly on the low side, Zifeng stood behind him, and there was no one else around this plum garden except for the two of them.

Cao An led the four of them to Helian Mu and saluted him together.

Helian Mu placed the wooden cups one by one, poured wine into the cups and said slowly: "Come, sit down!" ”

The four of them looked at each other, and then sat down around the low table. Helian Mu smiled and handed them the wine glasses one by one, and the four of them immediately stood up in shock, half-bent down and stretched out their hands to take it.

Helian Mu was shocked when he saw them like this, and signaled that they didn't need to be too restrained, and there was no need for so much courtesy from him. After the four of them sat down again, he looked at Du Huanqing and said: "The matter of the Du family, it happened suddenly, and the uninformed people thought it was a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but the few people who knew actually knew in their hearts that Du Jiang had hurriedly entered the palace that day, and only then did he leave the palace gate, and the Du family suffered a catastrophe of annihilation, and the reason for this was inseparable from the royal family, but there were unknown secrets that were suppressed by the emperor." When I was in the fire of the Du family, I only saved you! It's a pity that the Du family was burned to ashes by the fire overnight. ”

Hearing the old story, Du Huanqing burst into tears, thanked Helian Mu for saving his life, and knelt down and thanked: "Thank Your Highness for saving your life that day!" Since His Royal Highness said that my Du family was framed! But as far as I know, my grandfather just entered the palace to ask for the pulse of Empress Fu, why did he ...... later?"

Before Du Huanqing finished speaking, she was interrupted by Helian Mu, who said, "Because after Du Jiang left, Queen Fu had a miscarriage." ”

Du Huanqing was stunned when she heard this, and then said angrily: "My grandfather would never do such a thing!" ”

"You said it wasn't your grandfather who did it, what about the evidence? Besides, Du Jiang is not the only one involved. Helian Mu paused, and then said slowly: "There are some things, there is no evidence, who will believe this when it is said?" What's more, there is a big Fu family behind Queen Fu to support her! ”

Du Huanqing lowered her head again and again, she knew that she was too eager for this matter of the Du family.

"Sometimes, you have to know how to be patient when doing things, like a wolf pounced on its food and lurked in the dark, patiently waiting for the best time." When the words fell, Helian Mu glanced at Xia Liang with a vague look.

Du Huanqing stopped talking, Qianqiansu held the cup tightly with her hand, and although she was unwilling, she still nodded.

As he spoke, the next person had already brought up the dishes one by one, and there were not many dishes, but fortunately, they were full of color, flavor, and flavor. Helian Mu moved his chopsticks first, and then motioned for a few of them to eat. The four of them started to move the chopsticks at this time, but Helian Mu only took one chopstick, and then stopped putting down the chopsticks.

"Third Highness, what are we going to do after this reception banquet?" Yin Ge was idle at night, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he asked expectantly.

"There's nothing to do recently, I asked someone to buy the old site of the Du family privately, and you will accompany Du Huanqing to go back to repair and repair it in the next few days!" Helian Mu slowly took a sip of Biyun brew and said lightly.

Yin Gewan nodded, and when everyone had eaten almost enough, Helian Mu raised his hand and waved, and Cao An, who was waiting on the side, left, and when he reappeared, he was followed by four guards dressed in black. Each of the four held a carved tray of rosewood with four different weapons on it.

"In the future, you are going to do things for me, and you must have a competent weapon in your hand, and these are carefully prepared according to your specialties and given to you, I hope you can use them to show your excellent abilities in the future." Helian Mu looked at the four things on the tray and whispered.

Looking at the tray again, there were a short sword with a turquoise halo, only half an inch wide that could be hidden in the sleeve, a broad sword with a dark blue scabbard, a gold needle of different lengths and thicknesses contained in a brocade box, and a bow called Cold Ice, which were the weapons that several people were usually good at.

The first time he had his own weapon, several people forgot their words for a while, and they didn't kneel down to thank him for the first time.

"It's not too early, I won't stay here to detain you, this garden has a good view, you can go on a night tour together!" Helian Mu finished drinking the glass of Chinese wine and got up to leave.

"Congratulations to Your Highness!."

The four of them bowed down in unison and sent Helian Mu away. Cao An followed behind Helian Mu and waited with him.

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, Yin Gewan stroked the short sword in his hand, the blade of the sword was translucent, revealing a faint blue cold light, and at a glance, he knew that this was a rare sword. Then, I heard her sigh of admiration: "Your Highness really understands the thoughts of our subordinates!" ”

Xia Liang looked at her, she stepped forward to Xia Liang, suddenly her face turned straight, and she said seriously: "Ah Liang, a man like this who already has a sweetheart, you just have to think about it in your heart, but don't take it too seriously and sink yourself in." ”

Xia Liang's face was slightly red, and he squeezed back and said, "You drank too much tonight, talk some nonsense!" ”

Yin Gewan took a break, covered the corners of his mouth and giggled, turned his head and squeezed to Shu Chang's side again, threw him a flattering look, and said in a sharp voice: "Brother Shu Chang, go, sister will take you to the wine garden!" Then he pulled Du Huanqing and said: "Sister Qing, what kind of enemy is your family, do you want my sister to help you solve it!" Just try this cold light sword from His Highness! ”

Du Huanqing thought about the sad thing, and when she heard Yin Gewan's words, she came back to her senses suddenly, and there was a cluster of sparks in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and pressed it down.

Yin Ge said lately: "As long as you nod, I'll do it for you, really!" ”

Du Huanqing gritted her teeth, but she was still a little uncomfortable and said, "Yin Gewan, will you only use force to solve the problem!" ”

Yin Gewan let go of Du Huanqing, came to Shu Chang again with a smile, spat out and said: "Of course not, sister, I still have some brains, Brother Shu Chang, do you want to be taught?" As he spoke, he walked with a slight light step towards the depths of the plum garden.

"Let's go, let's go enjoy the plum blossoms together!"
