Chapter 385, the first time I saw Cui Jian!

Walking on the street to Cui's house, Li Muyang's mood was really a little apprehensive.

This is the first time he and Cui Chengxin have met privately after Jiang Nanyi's farewell. In the past, Li Sinian was next to him, and at that time, Li Sinian was the protagonist, and Cui Carefully's eyes rarely fell on him.

Li Muyang held in his arms the newly painted "Hanmei Proud Snow Picture" after he got up early in the morning, and since Li Sinian found this painting, he sneered at him for a morning. Even when eating, she was still talking about whether she wanted to go to Cui's house for breakfast, and Cui's pastries enjoyed a good reputation all over the world - this girl's mouth was still so poisonous.

Of course, Li Muyang has long been adapted.

In the past, when Li Muyang was walking in front, Li Sinian suddenly grabbed his sleeve and made him turn around and look at himself, just to look in the mirror with his black face - Li Muyang didn't take such humiliation to heart, let alone a few cool words that didn't hurt?

Originally, Li Muyang wanted Li Sinian to come with him, but he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of Cui's house if he came alone.

But Li Sinian refused on the grounds that he had been hurt by Li Muyang.

Li Muyang stood at the door of Cui's house, and asked the guards to pass on his wish to see Miss Cui Careful, and said that Miss Cui Careful wanted to come by herself.

Several guards looked at Li Muyang suspiciously for a long time, and finally decided to let someone in and ask. Although they didn't understand why the young lady wanted to see such a low-ranking person in a gray shirt, since this person dared to say that it was the person that the young lady wanted to see, it might be true.

Otherwise, who would dare to run to the gate of the Cui family to spread wild?

Li Muyang held the scroll and stood alone at the door waiting.

The Cui family's mansion and the Lu family's mansion are on the same street, except that one is at the east end of the street and the other is at the west end of the street.

The same high gate compound, the same vermilion lacquer gate.

The head of the beast was fastened above the double doors, and a male saw a male lion on each side of the steps.

There is another side door next to the gate, which is usually not opened, and will only be opened when distinguished guests or important people go out.

Li Muyang stood at the side door and waited, and several tiger generals with long knives at their waists stood on the steps and stared at him hesitantly. Li Muyang is accustomed to such scenes, because the gate of the Lu family is also like this.

Crunch――

The door with the bronze beast head was opened, and a group of men in black suits poured out in two rows, standing on both sides, and then a man wearing a uniform with a three-headed snake totem on the placket walked out proudly.

He looked around, and his eyes instantly locked on Li Muyang, who stood at the door and looked extremely eye-catching.

"Who?" Cui Jian asked in a deep voice.

"It was said that it was called Li Mu, and it was Miss Li Sinian's groom, who came to see Miss Careful."

"Li Mu?" Cui Jian frowned and said, "Is that the groom who can draw?" ”

After last night, two explosive news appeared in Tiandu, which became the talk of everyone after dinner.

First, Li Sinian was invited by the three young men of the Song family to participate in the still water condensation collection. The people of Tiandu know the meaning of the existence of the Still Water Condensation Yaji, which is a gathering that can directly communicate with the prince of the empire and possibly the future king face-to-face. And Li Sinian is just a maid's daughter.

The second piece of news is also related to Li Sinian, because Li Sinian's groom can paint, and he paints very well, even Song Tao, who is the most accomplished in the way of Danqing among the young generation of Tiandu, praises him, and Chen Wenting, a famous celebrity and talented woman in Tiandu, is also full of praise for this person's painting skills.

Li Sinian is on fire. Although Li Sinian has always been very popular.

The horseman Li Mu is also on fire, many people want to know what kind of person this person is, what does it have to do with the Li Muyang who has been circulating in the mouths of the Tiandu people, why are the people of the Li family so good at painting, even a horseman is so good-

Cui Jian, as the director of the Imperial Supervision Department, has the important responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials and folk manners, and someone has already written a report on what happened to the still water condensation and placed it on his study desk.

"I guess so." The guards weren't sure. Worried that his dereliction of duty would be punished by this uncle, the guard guarding the door hurriedly said: "He said that Miss Miss Miss invited him here." ”

Cui Jian didn't have the same acquaintance as a few guards, but stared at Li Muyang with cold eyes, and said, "Call him over." ”

The guards listened to the order and ran over to invite Li Muyang to the gate to see Cui Jian.

Li Muyang walked over with the scroll in his arms, and the guard next to him introduced him and said, "This is Cui Changshi of our Imperial Supervision Department. Don't you hurry up and salute. ”

Li Muyang had to bend down and salute and said, "Li Mu has seen Cui Changshi. ”

Cui Jian frowned, when a horseman saw him, his way of saluting should be to kneel and kowtow, not such a walker's salute - did he really think that he was a character?

"Are you Li Mu?" Cui Jian asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Li Muyang bent down and replied.

"Look up."

"Yes." Li Muyang raised his head and met Cui Jian's eyes.

Seeing Li Muyang's yellow face and bloodshot pupils, Cui Jian was even more displeased.

A literati should have the style of a literati, and even more so, they should have the grace of a literati. This person looks sick, where is there still a little bit of spirit? He didn't believe that such a person could paint anything that would be praised. I don't know what Song Tao is doing, they actually help such goods become famous.

Cui Jian stared at the painting in Li Muyang's hand and asked, "Do you want to be careful?" ”

"Yes."

"What's going on?"

"Send a painting."

"This one in your arms?"

"Exactly."

"Show it to me." Cui Jian said aloud.

Li Muyang stood there holding the scroll in his arms, and did not hand over the scroll in his hand as he instructed.

"Deaf? The long history asks you to hand over the scroll. The black-clothed inspector next to him shouted angrily.

Li Muyang hugged the scroll tightly and said: "This painting is a gift from Miss Miss Care, and I took it wrong yesterday, so I was specially ordered to send it early this morning - this painting was sent out last night, and it should be attributed to Miss Careful." Miss Jing didn't agree, and Li Mu didn't dare to assert himself. ”

"Look for death."

A roar of rage.

Choke!

Several black-clothed inspectors pulled out their waist knives, and as long as Cui Jian nodded and signaled, they would chop Li Muyang, a groom who dared to disobey the superior, into pulp.

Cui saw a sharp look in his eyes and stared at Li Muyang, and said, "You're not afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"Li Mu's crime does not lead to death. If you don't agree with each other, you will swing a knife and kill people, Cui Changshi is not afraid of tarnishing his reputation? Li Muyang looked up at Cui Jian and fought back.

I thought to myself, anyway, I have a thin reputation now. It's better to pretend to be a nerd who doesn't understand the world but is arrogant, which is more convincing. blindly submissive, and not saying anything about the grievances he has suffered, may make people find some flaws.

"What if I have to see it?" Cui saw a sharp flicker in his eyes, and said in a firm voice.

"Then please ask Miss Caution. I can't be the master. Li Muyang still puts the final decision on Cui Careful, can their family still fight?

"Looks like you're trying to go against me?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Cui Jian's mouth. There are talented people who don't know how many people there are, and most of them don't know which mud pit they are stepping on and can't get up. A groom dares to go to Cui's house to show off?

"Li Mu didn't dare."

"Who dare, you dare?" Cui Jian shouted angrily. "Come on, drag him down for me and cut him down."

"Yes." A group of inspectors rushed towards Li Muyang like wolves.

"The young master is angry." Ning Xinhai walked out of the side door quickly, bowed to Cui Jian, and said, "Young Master, this painting is indeed Miss Careful's. Miss Careful ordered me to take Li Mu into the small courtyard to meet. ”

Cui Jian frowned, looked at Ning Xinhai and said, "Uncle Ning, be careful what to do when you see a groom?" ”

"Miss, I don't know." Ning Xinhai said with a smile.

Cui Jian looked at Ning Xinhai, then at Li Muyang, and said with a smile: "Since Uncle Ning came to me to ask for someone, I want to give this face." ”

He waved his hand, and those who surrounded Li Muyang in the middle and wanted to make a move dispersed.

"I still have official business, Uncle Ning will go and get busy."

After Cui Jian finished speaking, he walked towards the carriage parked at the door with a group of black-clothed inspectors.

Soon, the group rushed into the distance with the black iron carriage.

Ning Xinhai walked up to Li Muyang, looked at Li Muyang thoughtfully, and asked out loud, "If I don't come out in time, what will happen to you?" ”

"They beat me up." Li Muyang said loudly.

"The young master said that he was going to cut you down."

Li Muyang smiled bitterly and said, "I think Miss Careful will not bear to see my head fall to the ground." ”

Ning Xinhai shook his head and said, "I always feel that you are not a master who will suffer easily. ”

Li Muyang smiled but did not speak. thought to himself, if Cui Jian really wanted to cut himself, how should he fight back?

When it comes to this day, it is really full of traps, killing every step.

The most frustrating thing is that if you fight back, you may expose your identity.

If you don't resist, you'll be cleanly killed.

Life is hard!

Ning Xinhai took Li Muyang and walked towards the inner courtyard of Cui's mansion, the inner courtyard is where the Cui family lives by themselves, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

If Ning Xinhai hadn't been leading by his side, Li Muyang at this time would have been chopped up by the master hiding in the shadows.

Walk through one garden after another, walk through one long corridor after another, jump over one rockery after another, and finally arrive at a quiet courtyard.

But he didn't expect a carriage to be parked at the gate of the courtyard, and Cui's careful personal maid Liu Lu stood next to the carriage, looked at Ning Xinhai and said, "Steward Ning, Miss heard that the plum blossoms in Xishan are blooming, and I want to go to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms." ”

Then he said to Li Muyang: "Li--you wait a while. The young lady ordered you to go with her, and she will take you to the plum garden to paint plums. ”

Because Li Muyang's identity is a horseman, he bluntly said that Li Mafu was a little too contemptuous, and calling him a steward was disrespectful to Ning Xinhai. Liu Lu simply avoided the question of salutation and directly issued Cui Carefully's order.

"Plum blossoms in the West Mountain?" Ning Xinhai's brows furrowed.
