Chapter 21: Bracing the Waist
Recently, Xiao Ru was a little uncomfortable, and the doctor came to check the pulse and said that she was pregnant, and the old lady originally liked Xiao Ru, a plump and well-born daughter-in-law, so she was really happy.
Even let the women of the Lin family go to her courtyard every day to copy scriptures, chant Buddha, and pray, it is a boy. Who wants to go?
Mrs. Zhao is a wife and does not take the people of the Lin family in her eyes, she is often not at home, she must not go, and no one dares to let her go. But Su Liyun's concubines have to go, Lin Qingyu looked at her mother's relatives, and originally wanted the old lady to know that the soft persimmon was not so pinched, but Su Liyun didn't allow her to be reckless.
In addition, she made an appointment with Mu Jiuye to meet, and the other party responded that she went to Xu Mansion to find him in the middle of the month. The Xu Mansion is the place where Xu Song lived, and it was also the hidden gathering place of the Moon Tower.
The house is written with the words "Xu Mansion", and there is a row of ancient trees as soon as you enter, which is very quiet. Walking through the verandah leaning against the lake, it is a moon-picking building that was built to meet the occasion. Further inside, there are five or six rooms in Yu Nuanxuan, but there are fewer people and it is extremely quiet, and someone led Lin Qingyu to the main house.
"Miss, please come in." The servant stopped at the door, very respectful, but he was afraid of the people in the house.
Lin Qingyu deliberately wore formal clothes, the orange skirt was just up to the ankles, lining the skin and blew it, but it didn't look vulgar.
She bowed slightly, stepped into the room, and her eyes first fell on a man in a green shirt, she had a few encounters with Xu Song in her previous life, this person looked polite, but he was very tall in his bones.
Originally, she should have taken over Yuelou to invite her, not from her own door. Lin Qingyu's delay in ignoring the matter of Yuelou also has this reason.
Xu Song looked at the delicate and lovely little girl in front of him, frowned slightly, and wondered why Mu Xuan and Lin Qingyu arrived one day, so he stood up after thinking about it, and said kindly: "Miss Thirteen is here, and I am not welcome, please don't worry about it." ”
Lin Qingyu waved her hand generously: "It's okay." ”
It's just that when she really takes over Yuelou, it's another matter, this person doesn't know who is the master if she doesn't grind.
"Thirteen, come and sit."
Only then did Lin Qingyu notice that the man sitting in the upper seat was wearing a black curtain and a gold-patterned black robe, as if he didn't exist, and he could see the identity of the other party from the other party's posture at a glance.
Is it Mu Jiuye?
She slammed at her feet, hesitated a little at the door, and her mind was instantly confused. She knew that Mu Xuan was only hiding his identity, but she didn't understand why she didn't see him cover up the first two times?
"Ninth Master." Lin Qingyu bent down and saluted, still with a small face and respectful and abnormal, and sat down with a dignified demeanor.
Mu Xuan was amused by her, and chuckled: "You are the only one of the thirteen leaders of our Su Gang who is so polite, you really should meet Lao Shi, you don't look like a hanger." It's just that he's afraid that he will take you badly, and Ji Lao will have to be anxious with me at that time. ”
Xu Song listened to Mu Xuan and Lin Qingyu's familiar tone, but hesitated for a moment, whether he should change his attitude towards Lin Qingyu.
Lin Qingyu thought for a while: "The tenth master is also the dragon and phoenix among people, this is a casual ......"
Mu Xuan shook his head helplessly, and asked casually, "You don't bring a maid guard when you go out?"
"It's so convenient, it's not like the ninth master who goes out with a golden boy and a jade girl." Lin Qingyu smiled lightly and blurted out. Originally, he was testing Mu Xuan's temper, but he exhaled when he didn't react.
In the future, you don't have to have the mentality of going to hell when you meet Mu Jiuye, at least at this time, this person is still easy to talk in front of him.
Behind Mu Xuan, a beautiful maid stood quietly holding a pot of tea, and there was a sword-holding guard wrapped in a black cloak that exuded a dangerous aura.
It's a couple of men and women, but it's not a golden boy and a girl.
"It's a pity that this maid is from the Xu Mansion, and besides, Xihe can't afford to be a golden boy like a rough person." Mu Xuanyu replied with a smile, seeing a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes, she knew what she was thinking about.
At this moment, Mu Xuan's well-defined hand was holding a white teacup. The black robe outlines silver threads, and the inconspicuous lotus flowers on the hem of the clothes will be found to be like overturned flower baskets, one by one, blooming wantonly and noble.
A pair of hands are gilded with a layer of silvery white light in the sun, which is extremely beautiful.
The sunlight shines through the black veil, faintly revealing a facial contour, and this silhouette alone makes people think about it.
The guard behind him, who was also in a black robe, swept Lin Qingyu's eyes faintly, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes, his master was busy with affairs, but he took the time to deliberately support this little-known thirteenth young lady, and he didn't know what he thought.
Mu Xuan put down the teacup, swept the non-existent dust on the hem of his clothes, and said in a very gentle tone: "Why haven't you received the order from Yuelou for so long?" ”
"There's no one to talk to me about." Lin Qingyu pursed her lips and spread her hands very aggrievedly, seeing that Mu Xuan seemed to be here to help her, she simply followed his words.
Mu Xuan nodded, turned his head to look at Xu Song, and seemed to smile: "Could it be that Young Master Xu didn't receive Su Ye's instructions?" ”
Xu Song could detect the imposing gaze through the black veil, and couldn't help but feel a little weak, and his black eyebrows wrinkled: "I'm just afraid that Miss Thirteen is not familiar with Yuelou, so today I specially invited Miss Thirteen to discuss this matter." ”
really has the face to say, Lin Qingyu pouted.
This small action fell in Mu Xuan's eyes, and this little girl still couldn't hide her emotions. said to Xu Song: "You'd better know that Su Ye never does meaningless things." ”
Xu Song's face froze, how could he guess Su Liuzhuo's thoughts, and his identity didn't know Su Gang's plan. The reason why Lin Qingyu was treated coldly was just to let this person who was raised in the deep boudoir know the reality.
Yuelou has not been reused, and now it is really unwilling to let such a milky little girl manage it.
"I see." Xu Song sighed.
He privately thought that it would be too hasty to set Lin Qingyu as the leader so easily, but he didn't know Su Liuzhuo's thoughts.
One is that he loves money and talents, the second is that his character is adventurous, and the third and most important point is that he is getting older and the other guild masters are faintly restless, and the children of the Su family are either Adou who can't be supported, or they are too ambitious and collude with outsiders, so he can't feel at ease.
But Lin Qingyu is different, her rights come from Su Liuzhuo, and she can only rely on Su Liuzhuo.
Lin Qingyu smiled faintly, in fact, she also understood that she couldn't afford to sit in this position, and she became a master but paid more.
After negotiating the matter, they also took over the order of Yuelou, and the two of them did not stay for long.
Lin Qingyu sat on Mu Xuan's carriage, her feet together, and she didn't even say a word obediently.
"Xihe, go to Wangchuan Tower." Mu Xuan took down the curtain he was wearing, the lines of his eyes rose slightly, his eyes were deep, and his eyebrows were like a clear mountain. The thin lips pursed, and then untied the lotus pattern robe on the outside, revealing the white robe like the moonlight flowing inside, the dark blue Mo Lan bloomed on the hem of the robe, the belt was covered with golden beads, and there were golden spikes at the tail.
Precious as the cold moon silver glow, glacier snow lotus.
Lin Qingyu had already looked down on her appearance, turned her face away and stared at the tightly covered curtain, put her hands on her knees, and thought about things a little distracted.
It turns out that Mu Jiuye was so mysterious in his previous life, and it was also because he didn't see people with his true face, but every time he came out so troublesomely, didn't he feel hot when he wore two layers?
Didn't you say you would send her back, why did you go to Wangchuan Tower again?
And how should she ask Mu Jiuye for help......
Mu Xuan had already sorted out his clothes, as if he could see Lin Qingyu's thoughts: "Didn't you say that you asked me for help if you have something?" Let's go to Wangchuan Tower later. I heard that your Lin family has been in turmoil recently, you can go to Wangchuan Tower to eat more in the future, and you can directly record it in my account. When the little girl grows up, she still has to eat better. ”
"I'm almost fourteen." Lin Qingyu turned her head and explained.
In the south, a woman can marry at the age of sixteen, so Lin Qingyu's age is not too young now.
However, she still felt very grateful for Mu Xuan's thoughtfulness, but after a lifetime, she would never trust others easily, because she was moved by some small favors.
"It looks like he's only about eleven years old." Mu Xuan looked at Lin Qingyu's face, her cheeks were fleshy, and she had a pair of peach eyes, and her bright eyes and bright teeth were very pleasing. It's just too short and looks very young.
"Is there one?" Lin Qingyu held her face with both hands, and realized that she had lost her temper, and sat upright again, looking serious.
Mu Xuan was thinking about why Lin Qingyu was so in awe of herself, could it be that Ji Lao said in front of her how she was unkind?
It also makes sense.
Xihe sat outside the carriage, listening to the sound inside, and hooked his lips slightly. Others are eager to talk to his master, but this repressed nature Miss Lin is a special case.
The master is erudite and talented, and all topics can be talked about in a few words, but it is really embarrassing to come to Miss Lin.
However, Lin Qingyu didn't feel embarrassed, as if it was right to get along with Mu Xuan like this, and Mu Xuan was also a person who liked to be quiet.
