It's nice to sit with her like this and listen to her say whatever she wants to say.

Even if she said it to herself, she had told others before-

He was a latecomer, and he had missed her too many things, and it was a good thing to have the opportunity to make up for her previous life experience.

Xiao Mu silently relaxed the standards in his heart.

Of course, he can think like this, all from the heart, and it is definitely not because he has been instilled by his mother recently with a lot of so-called arguments with Shaoyan, including but not limited to "To be a man, you must know how to retreat into advance", "No one wants a man who is ignorant and ignorant" and other inexplicable scheming and means.

"It's because I received a post from the Jiang family today." Heng Yu has already got down to business.

Xiao Mu's face was straight: "Jiang family? ”

"To be exact, it's the girl of the Jiang family." Heng Yu said: "She invited me to enter the mansion three days later to attend her birthday banquet. ”

Xiao Mu frowned slightly: "But the girl of the Jiang family didn't like to hold a birthday banquet before. ”

"You even know that?" Hengyu was a little surprised, thought about it for a while, and lowered his voice again: "Also, you all grew up together." ”

"I actually have very little contact with this Jiang family girl, and I haven't met a few times." Xiao Mu recalled: "But there is only such a girl in the Jiang Mansion, and I am close to Yun Chao, so I will not be confused - I remember that Yun Chao's only sister was born prematurely and was frail and sickly, and her mother died in childbirth. It was about after the death of Yun Chao that she returned to live in the mansion. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "There seemed to be some rumors in the past, saying that she was born with a mother, and the Jiang family thought she was ominous, so they raised her in another hospital. But in fact, Jiang Zhengfu has always loved this only daughter to the bone, but those clansmen of the Jiang family used to be a little dissatisfied and pointed fingers in private. ”

Heng Yu listened, and subconsciously followed: "Speaking of which, Jiang Zhengfu is the head of the Jiang family, and the official is in the position of the middle secretary, but he has never remarried after losing his wife in middle age, which is also rare." ”

"He has a very close relationship with his wife." Xiao Mu objectively commented: "Those people in the Jiang clan didn't force him to continue in his early years, but he had a resolute attitude, and later the officials became bigger and bigger, and those people in the clan probably didn't dare to say anything anymore." ”

"Seeing that, they probably don't want to say anything more." One yard to one yard, Heng Yu said: "These so-called family clans are the most interest-oriented, I am afraid that after the heirs are inherited from the clan, they will inherit Jiang Zhengfu's family property, and they will have to fight with each other." ”

Xiao Mu nodded, didn't say any more of these digressions, and then asked Hengyu: "You also have dealings with the Jiang family girl?" ”

"Not really." Heng Yu said: "I've only seen one side, and it's because of you-"

"Me?" Xiao Mu was puzzled.

"At the beginning, the sage decreed to promote family affairs for you, and all the daughters of officials above the fifth rank in the Beijing Division, who have not yet decided on a marriage after reaching the age of fifteen, must draw up a portrait and send it to the north."

Speaking of this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but say: "When you went to paint at that time, Jiang Zhengfu's mood was probably to pick up a knife and cut me. ”

Heng Yu nodded in agreement: "I feel so too." ”

"There are not many contacts, and there is no precedent for holding a birthday banquet in the past, so this sudden invitation is indeed unusual." Xiao Mu looked at her and first asked, "Do you want to go?" ”

Hengyu nodded: "Yes." ”

"And do you know the danger?"

"Of course." Heng Yu said: "If Jiang Zhengfu really noticed something and wanted to attack me, I would be able to hide for three days, but I might not be able to hide for ten days and a hundred days - besides, this possibility is small and small, even if he has the intention of killing his mouth, it is said that he should not choose to use his daughter in his own house." ”

Xiao Mu corrected: "But this kind of thing should not be taken to chance. ”

"I understand, that's how to analyze it according to common sense. If he really has other plans, it has come to such a juncture, and I don't want to blindly dodge and get the tiger without entering the tiger's den? As you said, there is a lack of crucial evidence for what happened back then, and it is not known whether you can take this opportunity to uncover some new clues. ”

Xiao Mu frowned slightly: "But if you really encounter danger, how to deal with it in the Jiang Mansion?" ”

"I roughly thought about this on the way here, I have the sleeve arrow given by Mr. Su, and the poison powder I begged from Grandpa Bai as a self-defense——"

Xiao Mu shook his head: "These things may have a chance of winning against one or two people, but Jiang Mansion is not another place." ”

"These were meant to be used against the little minions. If it is against someone who can speak, or Jiang Zhengfu, he has another countermeasure. ”

"What countermeasures?"

"I will tell them that the death of the Jiang family's son-in-law has another inside story, and if they want to know who the real enemy is, they can't touch me." Heng Yu said: "This matter is Jiang Zhengfu's heart knot, if it is used properly, it will be more than enough to temporarily exchange my life and let me go." ”

Xiao Mu looked at her: "You will attack the heart." ”

Hengyu: "This is called the right medicine." ”

"But it's still too risky." Xiao Mu was still a little hesitant.

"What step have you not taken over the years?" Heng Yu said: "We have come to this point now, and we are in this Jingshi, we are taking risks every step of the way, so why do we care about taking this step more?" ”

Xiao Mu looked at her.

Of course he knew that.

He wasn't a forerunner in the past.

But she's no stranger.

"Xiao Mu—"

Hearing this shout, Xiao Mu was slightly stunned, only to see her with a straight face: "We are an alliance, right?" ”

Xiao Mu nodded: "Naturally." ”

"Then we are equal to each other, right?" Hengyu asked again.

Xiao Mu nodded again.

Heng Yu's eyes put away the casualness of the past, and said: "Since it is equality, then what you do, I will also do." The really difficult road is still to come, if you think I can't even do this little thing, then how can we join hands to fight the enemy after that? I did not form an alliance with you to stand behind you and enjoy the results, if so, there is no such thing as an alliance. ”

Looking at each other, Xiao Mu saw his narrowness in those eyes.

His so-called "she is not an outsider" subconsciously wants to protect her behind him, or it is narrow-minded in another sense.

After a moment, he said, "Reach out." ”

"Why?" Hengyu looked at him with some wariness, but he still hesitated to stretch out.

If she dares to hit her palm, she will fight her back.

The next moment, he took out two copper-colored arrowheads and put them in her hands.

"What is this?" Heng Yu looked at it curiously.

"It is also made by Mr. Su, similar to an arrow, but its sound is sharper and louder, because it is small and easier to hide."

Xiao Mu said, stretched out his hand to take one, and taught her how to use it: "In case of emergency, twist the groove below to the left, such a big movement, one can deter people who want to be unfavorable to you, and make them more fearful." Second, in three days, I will make people stay near Jiang's house, they will hear this, and they will protect you no matter what. ”

Heng Yu listened very carefully, looked at his slender fingers that he had shown himself, and nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll write it down." ”

"Put it away." Xiao Mu put the things back in her hands.

Heng Yu grabbed the thing that seemed to have some temperature in his fingers.

"Now that you've planned everything, why do you ask me out?" After agreeing, Xiao Mu asked knowingly.

"Let you give me the cover." Heng Yu said very honestly: "With you to help me, I can feel at ease." ”

Xiao Mu wanted to laugh a little: "Then I still have some use." ”

"It's very useful." Heng Yu smiled: "Marquis Xiao, tell me what you have seen in the past two days, right?" ”

The two talked about this topic for a little while.

In the middle, it was Gu Tingnan who came in and changed the pot of hot tea.

After talking about everything, Heng Yu said: "The hour is almost up, it's just right to go out at this time, and Hou Ye should be able to go back." ”

Seeing that she seemed to be estimating something when she spoke, Xiao Mu's eyebrows jumped slightly-what does it mean to 'the hour is almost up'? 'It's just the right time to go out at this time'?

Xiao Mu stopped himself from thinking any further, nodded and got up.

Hengyu followed up, and he still had to send two steps.

The two of them were sitting opposite each other, with a small table in between, and a bamboo mat was spread around the small table, Heng Yu just left the bamboo basket, and stepped on the wooden floor with his front foot, and felt that his feet slipped, and his body was about to rush forward.

Xiao Mu reacted very quickly, and subconsciously took a step forward, blocking in front of her, holding her shoulders with both hands.

Hengyu pounced, pounced extremely fiercely, although he didn't move, she still inevitably bumped into him, and for a while she only felt that her eyes were full of stars, and her nose hurt so much that tears were about to burst out.

"Why can't you walk on the road?" Xiao Mu lowered his eyes and looked at her and teased.

"There is water on the ground...... Hengyu's voice was muffled, and he covered his nose and raised his face: "My nose is ......"

Seeing this, Xiao Mu hurriedly bent over slightly to check, and said, "It's bad, it's a nosebleed." ”

Hengyu, who was so numb in pain that he had no other sense, said "ah", covered it with one hand, and was about to find a handkerchief with the other, but the next moment he heard him laugh: "Lie to you." ”

"......" Hengyu raised his eyes to him in disbelief: "Xiao Jingshi, I'm afraid you're not three years old this year, right?" ”

Xiao Mu took his hand for a long time: "If I am three years old, you will not be born yet." ”

Heng Yu resisted the urge to roll his eyes, sucked in his nose, which had regained some consciousness, and said, "...... Your body is not made of iron, it is as hard as stone, and it almost broke the bridge of my nose...... It's really a golden-bodied bodhisattva. ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the placket of his crumpled clothes, and when he saw a touch of royal blue coming out of it, he couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”

Xiao Mu followed her gaze and looked in front of her, and pulled out the thing casually: "Purse." ”

"You still have a purse hidden close to you?" Heng Yu looked at him curiously: "Such a treasure, could it be that when you entered the city that day, which little lady threw it to you?" ”

Xiao Mu looked at her: "...... Which eye did you see me taking their things? ”

He just took a handful of camellia flowers that day, and now it is inserted in his study, but it has not yet withered.

"This is what Yan Mingsai gave me when I went out, saying that there are mosquitoes infested at the turn of spring and summer, and I can keep it on my body to prevent insects." He explained: "When I went out, I was in a hurry, so I stuffed my hands in my robe. ”

After speaking, as if she didn't believe it, she handed it over as if she didn't believe it: "If you want it, then it's good for you." ”

Hengyu was also not polite, and took it casually, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Then I'll try it for Doctor Yan." ”

"Then I want Yan Ming to thank you for testing the medicine for him?" Xiao Mu also had a smile in his eyes, and finally looked at her nose to make sure it was okay, and then said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

Hengyu nodded and sent him to the back of the door.

Xiao Mu opened the door and walked out.

"Lang Jun." Wang Jingyong, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly stepped forward as if he had been granted amnesty—he was finally able to stay away from that strange woman!

"Jing Shiro-kun walks slowly." Gu Tingnan smiled and blessed his body.

Xiao Mu bowed to her, and when he took Wang Jingyong out of Yanchun Tower, he straightened out his slightly messy clothes.

Wang Jingyong's eyelids jumped wildly when he saw it - what happened?!

No way!

The general is just doing a full set of tricks, and he doesn't want to make people in the shadows suspicious!

It must be so.

Vice General Wang forced himself to stabilize his mind.

On the second floor, at the open window lattice, under the reflection of the lanterns, Heng Yu held the hand holding the purse on his cheek, and watched the tall figure get into the carriage.

Xiao Mu sat in the car, lowered his eyes again and carefully tidied up his clothes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

……

Three days later, Hengyu came to the door with a post and went to Jiang Xuexi's birthday banquet.

"The girl and the little ladies of the various provinces are enjoying the flowers in the garden, and the little lady Ji please come with the maid." The female envoy of the Jiang Mansion was respectful and kind.

Hengyu said "There is labor", and took Cui Huai to the garden with the female envoy.

The Jiang family set up a banquet in the evening, and Hengyu came to the door an hour early, which was not too early, and some little girls even came over early in the morning.

Jiang Xuexi is a first-class noble girl in Beijing, but she rarely interacts with people, and most of the girls who got the invitation this time are both surprised and happy, and most of them have been instructed by their families, and the birthday gifts are valuable, and they come earlier than the other.

In the late spring, the flowers are gorgeous, and the girls who were originally talking and laughing among the flowers immediately quieted down when they saw Hengyu appear.

"How could it be her ......?"

"Why is she here too?"

Someone whispered.

Under the gaze of those curious or complicated eyes, Heng Yu smiled generously: "You ladies are really more delicate than flowers, and when you stand here, it seems that the flowers in this garden are overshadowed." ”

She came up with such a compliment, and with a face that was so easy to confuse, those girls were stunned for a while, some blushed slightly, and some came back to their senses and smiled: "Where is Miss Ji, it is clear that as soon as you appeared, you compared these flowers......"

"Yes, yes, Ji Niangzi really lives up to the name of the first beauty in Beijing......"

Girls began to gather around.

This is sometimes the case with people, and some people can change the atmosphere with just a single sentence.

Jiang Xuexi, who was not far away, had also walked over, with a real smile in her eyes: "Why is my Tao so lively, it turns out that the little lady Ji has arrived." ”

"Miss Jiang." Hengyu smiled and blessed.

Jiang Xuexi was also blessed with her, and her eyes fell on the jade pendant on Hengyu's waist, and the royal blue purse that was tied to it, and her eyes were stunned for a while.

"Sister Ji"
