Chapter 13: The Prince
"And so it is." Mu Xuan smiled and sighed: "It's inevitable that I have more worries about my age, so Ji Lao doesn't have to care."
Lin Qingyu heard Mu Xuan say that, thinking that he was only in his early twenties, isn't it a little funny to say that he is old in front of Uncle Ji?
However, she knew in her heart that although Mu Xuan was very mysterious and had no sense of existence, as long as he made a move, he would inevitably turn the river and the sea upside down.
His methods seem to be gentle and harmless, but he is only used to patiently pull the net full of barbs, the depth and ruthlessness of the city, and there is no old man on the road who has some seniority who is not clear.
"The ninth master is young and well-behaved, since you think this matter is inappropriate, I will definitely talk to Su Ye." Ji Lao smiled very kindly.
After finishing the business, it is time to serve the food and eat, with Mu Xuan and Ji Lao here, the dishes and refreshments on this table are naturally the best. Lin Qingyu followed to eat and drink, but she was very restrained, looking at her nose and nose, for fear of losing face and provoking Mu Xuan's dislike.
Ji Lao saw that Lin Qingyu was eating pumpkin cake very seriously, and pretended to be serious with a small face, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss Thirteen eats less, but I'm a little embarrassed to be a sloppy old man."
"No......" Lin Qingyu's old face flushed, but she couldn't say her inner thoughts directly, swallowed the pumpkin crisp stuck in her neck, and whispered: "Uncle Ji, this is called informality."
Ji Laole hehe, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this little girl's flattery, but he felt that it was cute.
Mu Xuan also found that Lin Qingyu ate very gently, and her temperament was not like that that the daughter of the Lin family could have, but she had the appearance of a noble girl from Kyoto.
But she can't bear her young age, her face is a little baby fat, her white and tender eyes are big, and she has a cherry mouth, like a delicate porcelain doll, which looks very pleasing.
Mu Xuan felt that Lin Qingyu was very much like an elegant cat holding a fish to eat, and when she thought of that picture, she couldn't help but smile, and her eyes softened a little: "It's not enough to just eat dessert, it's still more."
Eat some meat. ”
Mu Xuan likes to eat meat very much, Lin Qingyu had heard of it in her previous life. However, although he loves appetite, he is very pure in other aspects, at least until she died, he didn't hear that Mu Xuan had a wife and concubine in one and a half rooms.
"Mu ......" Lin Qingyu swallowed the word uncle, touched her nose curtly, and looked serious: "That's right, my mother also said that I am so short, I should eat more meat when I am growing my body."
After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, she resisted the urge to get under the table, and the corners of her mouth twitched, what nonsense was she talking about? I don't dare to think about it at all......
"It's a little short." Mu Xuan nodded, picked up the jade chopsticks and put a chicken leg in the bowl in front of Lin Qingyu, met her somewhat desperate eyes, and bent her good-looking eyebrows: "I'll ask Xiao Er to wrap you some desserts and take them back to eat later."
"I actually ......" Lin Qingyu looked at the big chicken leg in the bowl with a golden and attractive color, and bit her lower lip, her mother said not to be greedy in front of outsiders, especially not to eat chicken legs or anything troublesome, it is easy to leave a bad impression.
"What are you? It doesn't hurt to say anything in front of me. Mu Xuan put down his chopsticks, took out a white handkerchief and wiped his hands, looking very approachable.
Lin Qingyu wanted to refuse the chicken legs, but when she saw Mu Xuan's face cowardly again, she smiled, and her eyes seemed to reflect the spring light: "I actually like to eat chicken legs the most."
"Then eat another one." Mu Xuan nodded in difficulty, picked up the chopsticks and put a chicken leg in Lin Qingyu's bowl.
Lin Qingyu's smile cracked slightly.
Ji Lao looked at Mu Xuan as gentle and considerate, Lin Qingyu was cute and cute, and most of the worries in his heart dissipated. Suddenly felt that although Mu Jiuye was high and rich, it seemed difficult to get close, but he was really good, and it was really a wonderful idea to entrust Lin Qingyu to Mu Xuan.
I don't know what evil he was in at that time, he actually felt that the tenth master who would only pull the cat and walk the dog every day was kind, and now that he thinks about it, he only feels cold, if Lin Qingyu is taken to the tenth master, how can he have the face to see that after he dies?
Ji Lao picked up the cup with emotion and toasted Mu Xuan with tea instead of wine: "In the future, Miss Thirteen will have the ninth master to take care of a few points, and I will be relieved."
"Thirteen is so well-behaved, I will treat her as a sister."
Lin Qingyu has a cheap brother, and she doesn't have any taste in her heart, she is still fighting with chicken legs wholeheartedly at the moment......
After the meal, Lin Qingyu was horrified to find that she was the only one who ate the most, and Ji Lao and Mu Xuan didn't move at all. During this period, Mu Xuan kept giving her meat, and her eyes became more and more kind. She had also seen this kind of look, just like when Chunyan looked at the stray dog outside the Lin Mansion before?
After Lin Qingyu said goodbye to them, she went to find Miaogui, and when she pushed open the private room, she saw that Miaogui had almost eaten.
"Miss, this dish is delicious, but the portion is so small." Miao Gui hurriedly got up, poured a large cup of tea like a cow drinking water, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
Lin Qingyu put her hands on the chair, leaned lazily, and smiled helplessly: "Are you full?"
"I'm full!" Miao Gui hurriedly replied, stood up and touched her belly, which was a little swollen, such an expensive dish really felt full at a glance.
Lin Qingyu noticed Miaogui's action of touching her stomach, her eyes suddenly darkened, but what her hand subconsciously touched her abdomen and touched her flat lower abdomen, and her nose was sour and almost out of shape. Hurriedly turned around: "Then let's go back quickly."
"Okay" Miao Gui didn't notice Lin Qingyu's hidden emotions, and quickly followed.
"Miss, your pumpkin crisp." The shopkeeper saw Lin Qingyu leave with the maid, nodded and handed over an oiled paper bag, and his attitude became very polite: "Dare to ask Miss's surname?"
"The surname is Lin." Lin Qingyu took the warm paper bag and exhaled a long breath: "I'm tired."
She had a very sad meal.
"Can I still take it away when I eat at Wangchuan Tower? So poor, huh? Suddenly, a clear voice sounded outside the door, and then a woman in goose yellow clothes entered.
The eyebrows are full of heroism, the facial features are exquisite, and every move has a feeling of sassy posture. There is also a mole at the corner of the eye, which adds a bit of softness.
"You are so rude!" Miao Gui's face changed and she was about to protect the lord, but she was pulled by Lin Qingyu.
"What? Do you dare to teach me a lesson? Song Xiu stepped over the threshold and walked in, sneered, and swept his eyes contemptuously from Lin Qingyu's master and servant: "Isn't this woven cloud satin a popular fabric last year?" Miss Lin is still wearing it? ”
The mockery is palpable.
Song Xiu was followed by two black-clothed guards and two richly dressed maids, while Lin Qingyu only had two masters and servants, and a comparison could tell that Song Xiu was more wealthy.
There are many good people in the lobby who have come over, and they all secretly talk about this Miss Song's youth and vigor, and the little girl opposite is a noodle girl, but she has to suffer a little.
Miao Gui clenched her fist and was about to break free of Lin Qingyu's hand, she would rather die than let people bully her young lady, and scolded angrily: "Ugly woman, uneducated!"
"This is my uncle's mother's family, Miss Song Xiu." Lin Qingyu stroked her forehead helplessly, and whispered to remind the excited Miaogui. When looking at Song Xiu, Lin Qingyu's face did not fluctuate at all, and her momentum was not weak.
Many people were surprised, this little girl's bearing was faintly a few points higher than Song Xiu, but it was not like an ordinary rich and noble family, and some people saw her coming down from upstairs, and the family was afraid that it was extraordinary.
Miao Gui's face changed when she heard Lin Qingyu's words, and she was about to kneel down to apologize when she was supported by Lin Qingyu, but she just stood up again after half a body shortened, and looked at Lin Qingyu with red eyes: "Miss, the slave is in trouble, but it will definitely not implicate you."
"Don't just kneel down to someone." Lin Qingyu frowned, but a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, Miaogui had knelt enough for her in her previous life.
It was a very cold winter for Lin Qingyu to marry into the Gu Hou Mansion, and after returning to the door on the second day of the wedding, Gu Ling was summoned into the palace, but when she arrived at the Gu Hou Mansion, those people closed the door and did not let her in.
Under the pointing gaze of passers-by, Miao Gui got out of the carriage and knelt in the snow at the entrance of Gu Hou's mansion. was also splashed with cold water, and after that time, Miaogui's body deteriorated day by day.
Song Xiu sneered when he heard Miao Gui's words, there was anger in his eyes, and he raised his hand to signal the guards behind him who were about to draw his sword not to move: "Who do you say is ugly?" Who is uneducated? ”
Miao Gui had long been blackened by the swords of the two black-clothed guards, but she still trembled and pulled Lin Qingyu's arm and blocked her in front of her.
Lin Qingyu looked at the thin figure in front of her, but she laughed coquettishly, and there seemed to be a cold wind in her bright eyes: "Miss Song mocked and sarcastically as soon as she came, how much enmity do you have with me?"
"It's just that I can't get used to your poor and sour appearance, this Wangchuan Tower is not where you come from a little Lin family's daughter." Song Xiu raised her eyebrows, she hated Zhao Changge the most, and mistakenly thought that Lin Qingyu was also in the same faction as Zhao Changge, so she naturally hated it: "Hello sister Miss Lin Wu's scandal is so lively in Kyoto, do you still have the face to come out?"
"Why don't you dare? Miss Song is really ...... It's unreasonable. Lin Qingyu originally wanted to say that dogs look down on people, but thinking that she was just a little minion now, she couldn't be too arrogant, but she had to write down this account.
The people in the lobby looked at Lin Qingyu with less curiosity than before, the Lin family is also a well-known family, but its reputation has been a little stinky recently. Everyone thought that Lin Qingyu was a daughter from a family of daughters, but they didn't expect that it was just a concubine of the Lin family, and each other's faces were a little strange.
The shopkeeper heard that Xiao Er said that there was a dispute in the lobby, and immediately put down the golden abacus and ran out, and listened to Song Xiu's words as soon as he arrived in the lobby, and his face sank: "Miss Song misunderstood, Miss Lin is our VIP of Wangchuan Tower!"
smiled at Lin Qingyu again: "It's me who didn't entertain well in Wangchuan Tower, and I invited Miss Lin Haihan."
Lin Qingyu was also slightly surprised, just thinking that the other party was jealous of the Su Gang, and said slowly: "It's okay, I have a good temper."
It's just that she loves to hold grudges.
Compared with the two, people with eyes can see that the attitude of the shopkeeper is different, and those who have eyes naturally put away their contempt for Lin Qingyu.
The little second one secretly glanced at Lin Qingyu's expression, and said to Song Xiu in a good voice: "Song Dudu is already waiting for you in the private room on the second floor, can the little one lead the way?"
The concubine of the Song Dudu family and the Su Gang patriarch Ji Xiu's seat Binwangchuan Lou didn't want to offend, but the packing of desserts was personally ordered by Mu Guogong, although a Song family can be compared with the Northern Su Gang, which is beyond the reach of the whip, but it is still far worse than the Guogong Mansion.
The shopkeeper made a decision after thinking about it a little, Mu Guogong is now the prince and the prince, and he is afraid that he will be even more unattainable in the future, and the person who can make him fall in love, even if it is a little doll, they have to be offered by their ancestors.
Lin Qingyu only knew Mu Jiuye, but she didn't know that Mu Jiuye was Mu Guogong.
