41, Huajiao Village meets Mu Bai
When he reached the border of Mufeng Country, Sheng'er said that he was hungry.
So, the four of them drove to the nearby small village of Huajiao Village, where they decided to rest for the night and continue their journey the next morning.
The four of them got out of the Light Devourer and stopped by a shop known as the "Decaying Grass Pond".
Before entering the store, a little er wearing a straw hat and hunched over came to serve.
"Inside please, inside please. I wonder what the old men want to eat? We have excellent apricot blossom wine, jujube blossom wine, osmanthus wine, as well as freshly slaughtered mutton and beef. The price is not expensive, and it is all prepared by the family from the time of the day. ”
The inside of the store looks quite spacious, in addition to the four people who just entered the door, there are 12 people sitting around a table on the westernmost side, three women around a table in the middle, and four men who look like officials sitting in the east and west corners while eating beef and drinking jujube wine.
"There were a lot of people in there. Business is good! The general just sat down and said to Xiao Er. Sheng'er, Chengtie, and Jie'er also sat down and looked around.
"Where, where, thanks to your presence and care. Although this small shop is remote and not large, it is not as good as those big stores in the city, but it is all done by myself and the older generation, step by step. For a distinguished guest like the master, it is always the first place. Lords, young masters, and young ladies don't know what they want to eat? ”
Seeing that this person was kind, the general replied with a kind smile, and asked for four portions of beef, a pot of apricot blossom wine, and three cups of apricot nectar tea.
After the four of them had eaten and drunk enough, they went up to the second floor and asked for two guest rooms to stay.
At dusk, Sheng'er, Chengtie, and Jie'er were playing outside the store, and they saw that there was a young man about the same age as Chengtie and Jie'er in the place where the banner of the store was planted, wearing an official uniform embroidered with Xuanwu, and it seemed that he was also the son of a nobleman.
"It's my brother sitting in the east and west corners today!" Sheng'er approached, probing cautiously. The smile on his face was like apricot blossom wine on the tip of his tongue.
"It's my brother sitting in front of the door! I see you today. Look at your dress, you must be a young lady in a big family, right? If not, it is the child of a rich and wealthy family! I saw that the sword-eyed, eagle-eyed young man had a straight waist, and he spoke like a poem. This demeanor is a bit like Xiaofeng's father Luo Shifu.
"My name is Sheng'er, this is Brother Chengtie, and this is Sister Jie'er! We are not rich children, just ordinary sons and young ladies who are a little extravagant. I don't know what my brother is called? "Sheng'er introduced the people on his side one by one to which young man.
"In Xia Mubai, it's a person from the Silver Moon Country!" The young man clasped his hands into fists and bowed slightly. The three of them also returned the salute in a restrained manner.
"Are there a lot of people in this Silver Moon Country? But this is not out of the country yet! He asked. The wind blew the pink silk veil that was on the outside, and the smile on her cheeks was also pale pink.
"This is the border, and the flow of people in both countries is mixed. There are also a lot of people from the Wood Wind Country on the Silver Moon Country's side! Mu Gongzi recovered, and the pronunciation of every word was clear and grainy.
said that they wanted to play together, so Mu Gongzi said that he was with a majestic elder wearing the same official uniform with Xuanwu ornamentation, and then the four of them walked towards the forest in the distance together.
"Don't go too far." The general saw it and shouted on the second floor.
"Got it, Dad." Sheng'er turned his head and replied.
The four of them stopped in an open field and began to play with throwing stones. I saw a blue lark on a branch in the distance, and I fell down with a stone, and then ran over, healed it, and let it go.
"Why bother?" The city railway does not understand the happiness of children. While the other three were playing, he was looking at the clouds in the sky, the leaves in the forest, the birds, and the litter of dead branches on the ground.
"Why don't we play chess?" The city railway suggested. "You're wasting your life by playing around like this."
"But I won't, brother!" Sheng'er said.
"No, I can teach you."
All three of them squatted down, and only Sheng'er sat directly on the ground. The city railway explained its rules to Sheng'er, and Sheng'er knew how to play after listening to it.
"I feel like this kind of game is perfect for dad! Attentive and not impatient, not for me. After playing twice, Sheng'er complained, and said that the city railway deliberately won him and not others.
"I didn't mean to win you, you played too badly!" The city railway argued.
went down to the fifth time, and Sheng'er finally won once, and he won Jiao'er. Then the city railway deliberately let Sheng'er give birth again, and Sheng'er saw it and said that his brother was cheating.
After the sun set, the four of them returned to the inn. The city railway, the son, and the general lived in a two-person room. The general and the child huddled together. She lived alone in a single room.
The moon rises slowly, evoking a meager coolness.
Sheng'er leaned on the general's back and looked out the window at the crescent moon. The city railway was flipping through a booklet with the words on the cover: Silver Moon Country Cuisine.
"I didn't find out that my brother was a potential foodie!" Sheng'er turned his head and grinned.
"I'm not, I'm just looking, I'm afraid that I won't adapt to the diet of the Silver Moon Country." The city railway took a page of the book and glanced at Sheng'er.
"Dad, what are you doing?" The child leaned on the general's arms.
"Didn't do anything? Thinking about your mother. The general thought that if he drank with Ruyu at this moment and talked about the future, it would be the best life.
Sheng'er was bored and slept directly.
Seeing that the child was going to sleep, the city iron put out the fire and lay down himself. It's just that at night, I didn't sleep soundly. The sound of water droplets is faintly heard. Just when someone shouted that there was a gold devouring beast attacking, he walked to the window and saw that the four men who were wearing the Xuanwu Mansion had already dealt with the demon beast.
Sheng'er woke up and slept very soundly overnight, and the general was squeezed by Sheng'er so much that he could only turn sideways, either with his back to Sheng'er, or hugging Sheng'er, that feeling reminded the general of Ruyu and the warm and misty rain clouds.
On the second day, the four of them rode the Light Devouring Beast and entered the Silver Moon Kingdom with the four men in Xuanwu official uniforms.
When he arrived at Xianyue City, the western capital of the Silver Moon Kingdom, he learned that Mu Bai was originally a child of the royal family.
The monarch of this Silver Moon Country is called Mu Ningyan, and she is also an empress. The general's name is Mu Xiao, and he is the father of the son named Mu Bai.
"I didn't expect to be a member of the royal family, just like Sister Jie'er!" Sheng'er sighed.
"When I heard him announce his name, I knew that he was a royal person. This is the Silver Moon Country, and only people from the royal family have the surname Mu. Cheng Tie said proudly. Look, now you know the importance of checking the information! ”
"Brother, don't show off. If you go to a new place next time, you must check the information. ”
"You don't need to check your younger brother, if you want to know something, Sister Er'er will tell you. The royal families and famous nobles in these nine countries, my sister is very familiar with them. After an hour, I was forced to carry these things by the queen mother, and now I can recite them backwards! ”
"Then who is the son named Mu Bai who is now His Majesty the Silver Moon Kingdom?" Sheng'er took out a pen and paper and pretended to write.
"The son named Mu Bai is the eldest son of Mu Xiao, the general of the Silver Moon Kingdom. And the current king of the Silver Moon Kingdom is called Mu Ningyan, who is also His Majesty and Mu Xiao's sister. Therefore, Mu Bai Gongzi is the nephew of His Majesty Mu Ningyan. Mu Bai wants to call Mu Ningyan Auntie! Although he knew that the surname Mu was a member of the royal family, he didn't know that Mu Bai had this kinship with the current female majesty Mu Ningyan.
"It seems that that Mu Bai Gongzi is very noble!" Sheng'er said. She smiled, covered her lips and teeth, and puffed.
"But that prince is indeed very polite, worthy of being a royal family, and he is cautious and meticulous in what he does, leaving no inappropriateness."
This not only shows that these people are powerful at the same time, but also lose their freedom! You can't have it both ways! "Princess Jie'er really understands that everything is perfect, not as bright as it seems, and what she gains must mean what she loses.
