Chapter 225: Refusal
Yuehua blinked and said angrily, "Why have you been talking to him lately?" ”
Chu Mubai smiled helplessly: "My brother is not towards him, but towards you." As long as you're happy. ”
A soft smile rippled on Yuehua's lips, and she smiled "hehe": "It's better to be Brother Mubai, I will ask Xiangshen to make your favorite spicy noodles." ”
Chu Mubai's heart was agitated, and she hurriedly stopped her: "I, I have something to tell you." ”
"What's wrong?" Yuehua asked strangely, it was rare to see Chu Mubai with himself in such a serious way.
Instead, Chu Mubai detained his hands and feet, and his face was stunned for a long time, before he mustered up his courage: "Xiangshen, this girl is good, but I don't need her to serve me in the future." ”
"Why?" Yuehua asked in surprise.
Chu Mubai was stunned for a long time before he uttered a complete sentence: "She has worked hard enough every day, I have hands and feet, and I can do many things by myself." ”
Yuehua seemed to be stunned and quipped: "It turns out that I feel sorry for her, it doesn't matter, I can also help her do things in the future." You wear the stars and the moon every day, so hard, and besides, you can't do those things that you are clumsy as a big man. ”
Chu Mubai became more and more anxious: "No, that's not what it means." Yuehua, I already know your kindness, I really don't need to, I'm fine alone. ”
Yuehua thought about it for a long time, and then she understood what the kindness in Chu Mubai's mouth meant.
She said seriously: "Brother, Yuehua has never thought of forcing you anything, although it does mean to match you with Xiangshen, but Yuehua absolutely follows your own opinion."
Xiangshen has always admired you, even if you went to Xiliang Border Pass, in the past five years, she missed and worried about you no less than Yuehua. The most rare thing in this world is a person with a heart, and an infatuated woman like Xiangshen is even rarer.
Yuehua is now married, you are alone, although there are servants and guards around you, but Yuehua is still not at ease, feeling that no one knows the cold and the heat by your side, and asks for warmth. Therefore, Yuehua has long wanted to give you the incense, even if you don't have any thoughts about her for the time being, with her by your side, to talk to you, and to take care of your diet and daily life, Yuehua is also relieved.
I know that Xiangshen is just a girl, and if my brother is willing to give her a name, he will accept her. If you really don't want to, Yuehua believes that Xiangshen is also willing to stay by your side and serve you wholeheartedly. ”
"Wouldn't that delay her for the rest of her life? What's more, at this time, only Xiangshen has been faithfully accompanying you by your side, do you think my brother will agree? ”
So Yuehua never took the initiative to mention it to her brother. But Xiangshen is not young, and it is only a matter of time before he gets married. ”
Chu Mubai shook his head categorically: "Xiangshen has come together with you since childhood, like a sister, she deserves a better person, not me." ”
"However, the person she likes is your brother, Yuehua feels that as long as she can be with the person she likes, she is the happiest."
"Needless to say, Yuehua." Chu Mubai suddenly interrupted her words: "I never thought of getting married, and I have always regarded Xiangshen as a little sister." Such a thing cannot be forced. ”
Yuehua lowered her head stupidly and sighed: "My brother has become famous now, and he has long passed the age of starting a family, aren't you still willing to consider getting married?" ”
Chu Mubai suddenly stretched out his hand to Yuehua, originally probably wanting to touch her hair, just like when she was a child, when she was willful, rubbing her hair. But when he stretched out in front of Yuehua, his hand froze, hung down dejectedly, patted her shoulder, and sighed: "Silly girl, it's not time yet, when you have a good home, but your brother's mind is gone, my brother will consider it." ”
Where do you belong? Yuehua thought, this maple forest is already her eternal home, where else can she go?
Chu Mubai smiled softly: "Hurry up and go to rest, it's not early." ”
Yuehua felt that his smile was full of loneliness and gloom, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only nod obediently.
The two turned around, only to find that not far away, Xiangshen was standing there, blending in with the night. I don't know how long she has been standing, and how much she listened to the conversation between the two.
"Xiang Shen?"
Xiangshen restrained his flustered look, and didn't dare to look at Chu Mubai: "I've already boiled the water, let's see if Niangniang is washing and resting now?" ”
Yuehua nodded, slightly embarrassed: "I'll come by myself, you can rest." ”
Xiang Shen smiled very reluctantly: "Has Young Master Mu Bai had dinner?" There is also a little bit of food left for you in the kitchen. ”
Chu Mubai nodded: "I've already eaten it, thank you Miss Xiangshen." ”
A kind word made Xiang Shen's face even more embarrassed, and he twisted his body and said coldly: "I won't be sentimental in the future." ”
Chu Mubai wanted to catch up with the explanation, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only look at Yuehua helplessly.
Yuehua sighed helplessly: "Let her be quiet for a while, when she is angry, it will be fine, and I will talk to her when I go back." ”
The next day, I don't know what Chu Mubai said to Chu Jiu, he was obviously vigilant, and almost kept in front of Yuehua's bamboo house.
According to the report of the person in charge of the guard, there were people in the vicinity of the forest who snooped twice and three times, and they chased him out, and the man was very good and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
On the ninth day of the first month, he was more cautious. Ordered people not to startle the snake next time, and wait until he enters the maple forest before acting, be sure to capture him alive, torture him, and ask what the purpose is. But the man was cunning and never showed up again.
Xiangshen was in a bad mood, and sprinkled his anger on Chu Jiu regardless of it, and his sharp teeth made Chu Jiu blushing and his neck thick, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
When he was in a hurry, Chu Jiu wanted to repeat his old tricks, and Xiang Shen went back with righteousness this time: "Then you go, go and ask the emperor now, let me marry you." When the time comes, I will let you see what it means to be a shrew, scolding the street every day, sprinkling it every night, going up to the house to uncover the tiles, coming down to set fires, and endlessly tossing you, so that you are worse than dead, and you can live past the first day of the new year, but not the ninth day of the new year. ”
Her brazenness and fearlessness directly turned the tide of the battle, and Chu Jiu was defeated, silent, and was called by Xiang Shen as a punching bag.
Fortunately, Xiang Shen has such a temperament, and when he sprinkles the fire out, he still talks and laughs, and the maple forest is no longer as depressed as it was in the past two days.
The guards in the maple forest saw Chu Jiuyi repeatedly deflated, covered their mouths and smiled, their shoulders shaking, and they endured it extremely hard.
Even Shao Ziqing came to visit Yuehua, and when he saw that Chu Jiu was obedient to Xiang Shenyan, and he was still being entertained, he couldn't help but make a few jokes.
He saw that Yuehua had been depressed, so he wanted to invite her to Qianzhong Lake to see the peony together.
The peony on the shore of Qianzhong Lake is very famous, and it is next to Lanruo Temple, I heard that the incense is extremely effective, and Yuehua's heart is a little nervous.
According to the season, although the weather in the capital is cold and cold, the flowering period of peonies is late, but at this time it has passed the best season to enjoy peonies, and the peony flowers are now blooming on the edge of Qianzhong Lake.
Peony is graceful and luxurious, peony is charming and graceful, since ancient times there is a saying that "peony is the king of flowers, peony is the flower phase". And because of this difference, there is a taboo in the palace. All peony-colored costumes and utensils can only be used by the queen, and the concubines are not allowed to overstep.
The concubines can wear peonies, but Yuehua looked at the heavy peonies embroidered on Concubine Ling's body, but she couldn't see any difference from peonies. Mama Qin said that when the spring warms up and the peony flowers bloom in the imperial garden, Yuehua can pay attention to one or two.
It's a pity that I didn't wait for the peony to bloom. At this time, Shao Ziqing mentioned it, which aroused her wonder again.
It's just that she has been trying to avoid being alone with Shao Ziqing. Since the last time he lost his words after drinking, Yuehua had a heavy burden in his heart, and he felt vaguely embarrassed.
Later, Shao Ziqing said: "Does Niangniang know why the lake is called Qianzhong Lake?" ”
Yuehua shook her head.
Shao Ziqing said: "Because the original name of the mountain where Lanruo Temple is located is called Qianzhong Mountain, there is a spring in the mountain named Forget Worries, drink the water in the Forget Worry Spring, you can forget the three thousand troubles, and flow into the lake along the spring." The lake contains a thousand troubles, so it is called Senju Lake. ”
Shao Ziqing is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he is also a treasure of various scenic spots.
The legend is probably just a lie, and it is just a lie, and it is just a hope for people. Yuehua was a little moved, and she couldn't really put her full sorrow into the water, but she hesitated for a moment and still politely refused.
When Shao Ziqing came to Fenglin to visit Yuehua again, there was a delicate and tender beauty sitting in the car.
He just brought this woman to the maple forest, Shao Ziqing even helped her get out of the car and went straight into Yuehua's yard.
The woman's size was not much different from Yuehua, she was dressed in a snow suit, and her head was covered with a silver veil, revealing only a pair of water-like cut pupils, and the water was shining.
"The emperor sent these guards, but he did his duty, every time Ziqing came, he was ready to fight, and he couldn't wait to interrogate me."
Yuehua smiled: "Where?" But my brother was worried about my safety and picked a few soldiers. ”
"It's clear that they are all masters of the Great Interior, how can Chu Mubai have so many well-trained subordinates?" Shao Ziqing shook his head and said.
Yuehua was a little unexpected, and was stunned for a while.
Shao Ziqing asked her with a smile: "Today, His Majesty invited the Oiran who was born with a drunken dream to enjoy the peony together, and the mother is willing to go with her face?" ”
Xiangshen on the side suddenly turned his face unceremoniously: "How could Shao Xiang do such a ridiculous thing?" actually invited the Qinglou woman to join my mother, you deliberately belittle my mother's identity, aren't you? ”
Xiang Shen is not a snarky character, he has always spoken politely to Shao Ziqing, it is the first time he has been so-for-tat, and he has not saved any face for the woman at all, and his little face is so gloomy that it almost rains.
Shao Ziqing was inexplicable, and explained with a sad face: "Ziqing is really wronged, but in fact, it is really not Meng Lang like Ziqing, and he is helpless. When the ministers saw that they ran too hard to Niangniang, the emperor always invited his ministers to go over for tea, and introduced the daughters of Chang'an to Weichen. Ziqing really had no choice, she couldn't bear to be disturbed, and temporarily found an Oiran to be a shield, otherwise, where would she dare to invite her mother to enjoy the flowers together? ”
