Chapter 62: The Matchmaker
Mu Xiaoxiao went to the post station with Zhuo Zhuo on the second day, and Zhuang Bufan was shocked when he saw that Mu Xiaoxiao was negotiating on behalf of the prince, and he didn't know how to deal with himself.
Thinking about it, so many unpleasant things happened to them a few months ago, and now, this person is actually bigger than his official position, and the official is crushing people to death, Zhuang Bufan has mixed feelings in his heart.
Although Zhuang Pingfan was also a little surprised, he has always been frank and unrestrained, never doing villain things, the last time his father beat the eldest brother not lightly, after that incident, he has reined in a lot, and has not made a big disaster.
When Mu Xiaoxiao saw Zhuang Bufan, she also had the urge to kick him, but she still endured it when she thought that this was to help the prince. In addition, she only heard the general idea of the matter from Zhuo Feng's mouth intermittently, and she didn't actually have any loss because of this matter, so she didn't have too much resentment in her heart.
The three of them have their own thoughts, but their business can't be delayed, so the three of them are calm on the surface, as if they don't know anyone, politely alienated, and businesslike.
The Zhuang brothers discussed the details with her, and after thinking about all the regulations, Mu Xiaoxiao proposed to them: "Brother Zhuang, have you ever been to the most famous ten-mile bamboo forest in Jingting?"
Zhuang Bufan said with a smile: "This is the second time I have come to Jingting, and I really haven't been there." ”
Zhuang Pingfan, who was on the side, saw Mu Xiaoxiao looking at him again, and said calmly: "It's the first time I've come to Jingting, and I've never seen it." ”
"Then today, the official will be a lobbyist and take you on a trip of ten miles. Mu Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
Zhuang Bufan thought of the fact that he had drugged Mu Xiaoxiao a few months ago, and he was 10,000 unwilling, and when he saw her today, he felt uncomfortable like eating a fly, but she represented the imperial court, and he couldn't help it. Now that it's easy to get down to business, I really don't want to see her anymore and remember the unhappy thing. So he refused without thinking about it.
"Master Mu, I have an appointment with a friend today, so I won't go. Second brother, you can go with the adults. With that, he went back to his room.
"Don't be surprised, I want to see the scenery of Jingting, and I hope that the adults will be tired and walk with me. Zhuang Pingfan's face was generally recognized.
Tsk, the feeling of being an official is really majestic, haha!
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Friends, it's all misunderstandings and misunderstandings." A little proud in her heart, she persuaded herself in her heart that the adults did not remember the villain, and all the past grievances were written off.
Mu Xiaoxiao with excellence, Zhuang Pingfan with an attendant, the two walked all the way from the most prosperous street to the ten-mile bamboo forest.
"This is an armory workshop, and it is forbidden to bring weapons privately in the country of Jin, so the nobles love to make some ornaments, and the swords here are not bladed, and they are exquisitely made. Mu Xiaoxiao introduced.
"It's so small and delicate, it's a novelty. Zhuang Pingfan picked up a miniature whip.
"This woman has a lot of collections. Mu Xiaoxiao picked up a delicate sword, only the size of a palm, and there was a white tassel on the hilt.
"My sister is very fond of collecting these knick-knacks. After Zhuang Pingfan finished speaking, he chose two and bought them.
Mu Xiaoxiao took two small swords, and then he realized that he didn't have any money, and the outstanding man on the side took a gold ingot from his arms expressionlessly and put it on the table.
As soon as she saw that she had money, she ran back and got a small knife with black tassels hanging from it, and she smiled at Excellence with a flattering look on her face as she held three things.
After paying, the three of them walked towards the bamboo forest again.
Shili Bamboo Forest was a private property in the past, and later, the old man had no children and no daughters in his life, so he created an annual poetry conference, which happens to be today. On this rare day, families with daughters in the family will also let their children come to such a banquet, in order to be favored by the sons of rich and noble families and seek a good marriage.
The girls who come here are either rich or expensive, all with shallow dew, and the rich son is also dressed in a robe, chic and handsome, a group of handsome men and beauties in twos and threes, and meet friends with poems.
Mu Xiaoxiao also had her own selfishness in bringing him here, thinking of this reason, she couldn't suppress a smile on her face, and the other three who laughed inexplicably.
The group stood next to a woman in an aqua blue dress.
"A touch of snow in the melancholy east column, life can be seen clearly. The woman groaned softly, raised her slender hand again, took a pen from the hand of the attendant and wrote it down, the font was beautiful and neat, and the words were like her person.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Good poetry." After speaking, he looked at Zhuang Pingfan: "Brother Zhuang, you can also write it." After speaking, he took the pen from the hand of the attendant and handed it to him.
Zhuang Pingfanjun's face flushed, he took the pen, thought about it, and wrote: "It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance." ”
Since ancient times, the biggest difference between men and women is that men have ideals all their lives, and women have long loves. Mu Xiaoxiao saw it, and it was also a whim, so he wrote down: "But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death." Although her handwriting is not very good, but the regular script is also neat, everyone is all seal script, seeing such a word, but just more curious.
Zhuang Pingfan looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, and made a compilation with both hands: "Adults really have great ambitions. ”
The woman in the blue dress took off the light dew and bowed to them: "The little girl is polite." ”
Zhuang Pingfan was stunned when he saw this woman's appearance.
The beauty in front of her has hands like soft wattles, skin like clotted fat, mantis eyebrows, and a clever smile, who is not Wen Hanyan?
Mu Xiaoxiao quietly stepped back, and Zhuo Zhuo on the side saw the shy man and woman, and followed Mu Xiaoxiao with a blank face and retreated.
"Excellence, I have something for you. As soon as he walked out of the venue, Mu Xiaoxiao took out a delicate knife with a black tassel hanging from it.
Excellence looked puzzled, not understanding what she meant.
"This is what I sent you. Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed Excellence's hand that was not holding a sword and stuffed it in.
Zhuo Zhuo wanted to refuse, so he saw Mu Xiaoxiao raise his feet, as if he wanted to be as tall as him, and said to him: "I can't refuse, this is my careful pick!" After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the bamboo forest.
Excellence had never bought these things, he thought that they were all played by a little woman, and they were expensive without practical value, and he never went shopping, and today he would accompany her because he had a task. This knife is very delicate, and most importantly it is made of cold iron, without a blade, but with a blue glow.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked left and right all the way, and finally saw the familiar white figure, followed by the windless that had not been seen for many days.
This sentence is a good sentence, but it is not easy for the girl's lofty ideals to be realized. Hibiscus, who had always been a man of few words, commented on the verses to a woman who had already picked the dew.
"Huh!" the woman chuckled, took the pen, revised the words on it, and handed it to the maid behind her. As soon as she turned around, Mu Xiaoxiao saw a woman who looked like a delicate woman and had a temperament like an orchid, smiling like a flower.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused in his footsteps, and never went any further.
"That young lady is Gao Yuyu, the only daughter of Prince Yong. Excellence said softly.
Isn't that the prince's cousin? Mu Xiaoxiao felt depressed for a while. Hibiscus's face, which doesn't smile often, now has a shy and reserved expression, isn't this the expression that only people in love have?
She was hesitating to step forward, when Wufeng saw her first. Wufeng spoke, and Mu Hibiscus turned his head and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, and at this time, the familiar expression on his face appeared on his face again. Mu Xiaoxiao felt a chill in her heart. Isn't it true that love between two people is attractive? Is this unrequited love? Once a woman falls in love, she will always be cranky, and she is no exception.
"Who is this?" Gao Yuyu followed his gaze and saw Mu Xiaoxiao not far away.
"This is a friend in the next place. Hibiscus said softly with a blank face.
Mu Xiaoxiao stabilized his mind, stepped forward, and smiled first with a mouth: "Mu Hibiscus, why are you here, it makes me easy to find." She stepped forward and pulled his arm intimately, and Hibiscus took her backhand.
"Hibiscus?" Gao Yuyu covered his mouth and chuckled, "It turns out that you still remember that I like hibiscus." ”
Now Mu Xiaoxiao is not calm: "This is his name, why do you say it is your favorite flower?" she looked jealous.
The Day of the Ancients: Jealousy makes people ugly, and Mu Xiaoxiao feels that he must be very ugly at this time.
"Brother Rui, your friend is quite interesting. The young lady smiled, like a water lily blooming in the night, and Mu Xiaoxiao, who was fascinated, was also stunned.
"She's always had a childish heart, so don't be surprised. Hibiscus looked at the two of them.
"It's okay since you are Brother Rui's friend, that is, my friend," after speaking, he put on a light dew again, and said to Hibiscus: "Brother Rui, when you restore the family, Yu Yu will personally come to the door to congratulate." With that, he turned and left.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked jealous, she looked at Mu Hibiscus with a frank face: "What is the relationship between you and her!" Wufeng and Zhuo Zhuo looked at the atmosphere of the two, so they took the initiative to stay far away and widen the distance between the two.
"Friend, and she's helped me a lot. Hibiscus seemed to recall the past, and there was a hint of confusion in his clear eyes.
"Why does she call you Brother Rui? Aren't you called Mu Hibiscus?" Mu Xiaoxiao looked depressed.
Hibiscus didn't speak, took her hand and said, "I'm just your hibiscus." ”
It's just an ordinary explanation, but it makes Mu Xiaoxiao feel that this is the most beautiful love story in the world!
