In the early morning, snowflakes fall on the ground.

The sky was slightly bright.

The coldness of the snow had melted, and the dew rolled on it.

Baihualou was rarely silent, only the sound of birds chirping outside the window, which seemed extraordinarily peaceful.

On the street outside Baihualou, a luxury carriage was parked there, and there were four or five men dressed as guards standing next to it, which stood out against the snow-white background.

Sunlight shines into the room through the rhombic windows, leaving dappled shadows on the floor.

on the bed.

Meng Xiyao opened her eyes sleepily, reached out and touched the side, and found that there was no temperature, so she sat up and rubbed her head, looked out the window, and saw that the outside was still snow-white and white. She lifted the futon and jumped out of bed, put on her shoes, changed into clothes embroidered with bright red and gold thread, tied up her long hair, put on a phoenix crown and xia cloak, lightly smeared rouge, painted peach petals on her eyebrows, smeared her red lips, and finally dotted a little cinnabar, making herself charming and beautiful.

Meng Xiyao muttered: "There must be all kinds of big people at this banquet, to be honest, even if I refuse, I will definitely provoke those people." ”

"Ah Meng, have you done it? Outside are waiting in a hurry" outside the door

Suddenly, there was the urging sound of the bustard, and Meng Xiyao hurriedly cleaned up and walked out of the room.

Seeing that Meng Xiyao had already dressed up, before she could speak, the bustard held her hand, looked at her worriedly, and said: "Ah Meng, you are what I grew up watching, I have always treated you as a daughter, this banquet is best not to be too outstanding, in case they take a fancy to it, it is not a good thing." As he spoke, the old bustard sighed.

"Thank you Mama Li for your concern, by the way, help me pay more attention to Sister Yuan An, I feel that she is plotting against me." Meng Xiyao frowned, and said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Hearing her say this, the old bustard's face showed a look of surprise, and said, "Okay, but she is the girl I picked up with you at the beginning?" ”

"Well, I don't need to say more, Mama Li, I'm going to the banquet."

After Meng Xiyao finished speaking, she turned around and left, without waiting for the old bustard to speak.

"Oh, you slow down."

Looking at the disappearing back in the distance, Mama Li shook her head.

This Ah Meng grew up with him since he was a child, although he picked it up, but he is more like a daughter than his own daughter, and he treats himself with great respect, he treats her more than other girls, and only hopes that she can find a good husband, marry an ordinary person, live an ordinary life, and don't live that kind of intrigue life, after all, she is just a little girl, she should not be exposed to such complicated things, nor should she be exposed to such complicated people, such a life is not what she wants to live.

"Ah Meng, in half a year, I will have the money to redeem you," the bustard's tone was a little low.

Meng Xiyao came to the first floor, during which many sisters who knew her wanted to go with her, but she understood that it was better not to bring a few people than to bring a few people to upset most people!

Got on the carriage, the scenery seen along the way and the scenery in China are not the same style at all, the street contains a little Chinese style, and there is a unique style of its own, what crops are not sold on the street, there are Gu insects, Gu insect feed, and the surrounding grass seems to have half a point of spirituality, swaying with the wind there.

The carriage was not moving fast, and after about a quarter of an hour it stopped.

The scene before the Ming Dynasty made Meng Xiyao exclaim: "This... Where is this a family? ”

I saw several rows of sedan chairs parked in front of a courtyard with a very wide area, and there were more than a dozen horses pulling horses behind the sedan chairs. This scene is simply a scene that only appears in TV dramas.

Mengxi Yaoxin opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage, raised her feet and stepped over the threshold, and walked into the courtyard.

"Oops, why are you so slow!"

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Meng Xiyao's ears sounded a coquettish sound, she turned around and saw a girl in a purple dress standing there, her hands on her waist, her face crimson, looking innocent and cute.

"Hey, you're the mortal invited by Brother Zixuan?" The girl looked at her without any respect, as if she were looking at a lowly ant, contemptuous and arrogant.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Meng Xiyao asked politely without moving.

"Little mortal, you don't deserve to know my name!"

The girl pouted disdainfully.

Meng Xiyao raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't care, it was normal for Gu masters to look down on mortals, not to mention that she was still a person with a family background.

Meng Xiyao walked under the guidance of the guards beside her and came to a room, the decoration in the room was extremely extravagant, there was a round table in the center of the room, both sides were full of tea and snacks and other food, there were many incense burners on the table, cigarettes were rising, and there was a purple-red guzheng in front.

"Presumably this is the place to entertain me, a mortal, but it's really good, anyway, that Xu Zixuan didn't come to me, sure enough, I'm just a little amorous woman, how can I be favored by other people." Meng Xiyao said with a smile, she didn't know whether it was joy or sadness, she felt that she was helpless, she could only force a smile in front of others, only in front of people she was familiar with, she could show her true emotions.

She slowly came to the table and sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.

She felt the sweetness of the tea and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" Suddenly, someone outside the door urged, "Little girl, are you ready?" ”

"Good!" Just after speaking, several maids rushed in and pushed open the door, they did not look directly at Meng Xiyao, but came directly to move the guzheng in front of her.

"Little girl, please follow us!" A maid said to Meng Xiyao.

"I see." Meng Xiyao nodded and followed behind them.

Along the way, she saw many gorgeously dressed men and women, men and women in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, looking very harmonious, and the men's clothes are all woven of gorgeous brocade, at a glance, the clothes in it are priceless, and the women are made of silk, gorgeous and abnormal, at a glance you know that they are all rich and noble daughters.

Meng Xiyao followed the maid to the center of the hall, and when the men on the east and west sides saw her, they all stopped talking and cast strange glances at her.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, this is the singer I invited to play the guzheng for everyone, today is the little girl's birthday, everyone has a good time." There was a man in his thirties sitting on the main seat, who saw Meng Xiyao coming and smiled at everyone, and beside him was the girl in the purple dress who had just sneered at Meng Xiyao.

Meng Xiyao didn't say anything, sat on the piano bench, stroked the strings with both hands, and looked around.

"Alas, why didn't you see Xu Zixuan, huh." She said secretly to herself.

Her gaze swept over the crowd, and her heart trembled when she finally saw a young man sitting in the corner.

I saw that at this time, the young man was dressed in white, handsome and chic, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were as bright as stars, and the whole person exuded a refreshing temperament, like a spring breeze, which made people feel refreshed.

"Who is this, so handsome! Wait a minute, how did my nymphomaniac commit it again. Meng Xiyao muttered in her heart.

"Brother Zixuan, why are you late, we have already sat down, if you don't come again, we will start!" The girl in the purple dress looked at the man walking outside the door, ran up with a smile, and took his arm and said coquettishly.

"I can't go out to sell some goods." Xu Zixuan touched the girl's head with a smile and said dotingly.

After Meng Xiyao listened to the girl's words, her face was shocked, it turned out that this Xu Zixuan was her brother, no wonder she thought she looked so much like Xu Zixuan!
