Falling Star Courtyard.

East Wing.

On the wall hangs a picture of a loquat mountain bird, in which the birds fly around, and the loquat tree sways gently as if it were blown by the wind.

On the sandalwood table was a brass incense burner, and wisps of green smoke wafted out of it, filling the room with a thick fragrance.

After bathing and changing clothes, Xu Mu closed his eyes slightly, straightened his back, and sat quietly in front of the mirror.

Two handsome maids in green clothes were holding combs made of animal bones, carefully helping him take care of his long hair.

These two maids, one is called Rou'er and the other is Xin'er, Li Youlan specially arranged to serve him, Xu Mu was inconvenient to refuse, so he had to let the two follow.

"Xin'er, why is this courtyard called the Falling Star Courtyard?"

Xu Mu suddenly asked.

"Answer your lordship because ......"

Xin'er wanted to answer, but was interrupted by Rou'er with a smile: "My lord, if you don't mind, why don't you wait later, Rou'er is telling you how?" Maybe when the time comes, you don't need to explain to the slave, you will know! ”

"Good!"

The corners of Xu Mu's mouth raised slightly, and he responded with a smile.

He just remembered to ask casually, it doesn't matter if it's early or late, in fact, even if the two don't say it, he can guess it.

Rou'er sold Guanzi, just to please him a little.

Li Youlan sent the two of them over, not necessarily without the intention of using a beauty trick.

If you can please Xu Mu, as two people, it is tantamount to flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix.

As for age, it has never been an issue for cultivators.

It's just that compared with Xin'er, who has a gentle and quiet personality, Rou'er is obviously a little more active and bold.

Xu Mu changed the topic and asked, "How much do you know about the other guests in the mansion?" ”

"This ......"

Rou'er opened her mouth and stammered, as if she didn't dare to say more.

"Back to my lord, the slaves and maids have a low status, and there are not many opportunities to contact with several adults, only know some hearsay news, if the adults are willing to listen, the slaves and maids can tell you." Xin'er said lightly.

On the side, Rou'er kept coloring Xin'er and asked her not to say more.

The two of them and Xu Mu have just met, although they look amiable now, but who knows what is behind it, in case the words of the two are passed out, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save their lives.

"Tell me about it!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

Although his eyes were closed, he knew every move of the two.

Xin'er's move made him a little impressed.

It seems that she is not timid, she just doesn't like to fight.

Rou'er was still winning, wanting to stop her good sister, but unfortunately Xin'er didn't seem to see it, and said to herself: "Lord Lu, in private, is known as the smiling tiger, likes one thing in front of people, one set in the back, and many subordinates who have provoked him will disappear silently." ”

“……”

Do you dare to say this?

Xu Mu was slightly shocked in his heart, he was in a different position, he didn't dare to say such a thing.

But as soon as the thought turned in his mind, he quickly understood why Xin'er was so bold.

It is estimated that Li Youlan has signaled.

Li Youlan is inconvenient to say these words, but it is very suitable for a maid.

Rou'er, who didn't understand the trick, was full of tears and mourning.

If this was to be known to Master Lu, the two of them would have to disappear silently.

Whining!

"What about the others?" Xu Mu asked.

"Lord Jia Zhiyi, loyal and loyal, is very good to everyone! Lord Hong Xi is taciturn and only interested in cultivation! Master Qiao Qianqian's personality is then kind, and everyone in the house likes it very much! Although Lord Xu Lingyu Xu is the youngest among all the adults, he is the first guest recruited by His Royal Highness, and his personality is a little withdrawn, except for helping His Highness do things, he basically does not communicate with outsiders! Xin'er introduced in a flat voice.

"Aren't there six of them? And what about the other one? ”

"There is also an adult named Wang Yongan, who lives in the Shenghuayuan behind the adult, he is the most favored guest of His Royal Highness before the adult comes, his personality is a little dissolute, he rarely lives in the mansion, and generally only His Highness summons him to come back!"

"Oh! That's interesting! ”

Xu Mu opened his eyes, pinched his chin and said lightly.

Rou'er on the other side had given up struggling, only begging Xu Mu not to cross the river and tear down the bridge, in order to please Xu Mu, she was more and more attentive when she served.

Next, Xu Mu didn't ask anything, and when he combed his hair and dressed up and sorted out his appearance, he walked out of the small courtyard under the leadership of the two maids and rushed towards the invitation platform where the banquet was held.

"Rou'er, where does this invitation platform belong?" Xu Mu asked.

"Back to my lord, the attic at the highest point in the back garden is!"

Rouer pointed to a tall attic built on a rockery in the garden at the back of the mansion.

"The invitation platform can overlook the entire garden, and it is also the best place for the entire mansion to have the best scenery, generally only when distinguished guests come, or catch up with the festival, His Royal Highness will hold a banquet on it!"

"Then I'm honored." Xu Mu said with a smile.

The three of them entered the back garden through the triple palace gate, and the stacked stone rockery in front of them, the pavilion of the curved corridor, the pond flowers and trees, although not as good as those strange places, it is also beautiful, and there is a lot of fun.

"Xu Daoyou, what a coincidence!"

Lu Kuai's cuffs on both sides were folded together, and he walked a few steps briskly, smiling and catching up with the three of them.

Rou'er and Xin'er consciously moved out of the way, letting Lu Kuai and Xu Mu walk side by side.

"There is still a period of time before the banquet starts, why did Xu Daoyou come so early?" Lu Kui said.

"When I first arrived, I wanted to take the opportunity to look around, so I came one step earlier."

"I see! I have been a steward for more than ten years, and I am quite familiar with the mansion, so it is better to take a look around with my fellow Daoists. ”

"Then trouble fellow Daoists!"

"No trouble, no trouble!" Lu Kui said with a smile.

Under the leadership of Lu Kuai, Xu Mu saw several well-known scenic spots in the garden, and Lu Kuai also helped him introduce the small allusions, and it seemed that the two had a good conversation.

When he walked around the garden for most of the time, and saw that the time for the banquet was approaching, Lu Kuai suddenly changed his words and said: "I have learned the art of divination for a period of time, and Daoyou have just come to the imperial capital, why don't you let you calculate the future for Daoyou?" ”

Xu Mu was slightly stunned, not understanding what this old boy wanted to do.

Fortune telling?

If you really have this ability, you don't need to be a guest here.

"Okay!"

Xu Mu smiled and nodded in agreement, he wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.

"Then please tell me the birth date first?"

"Qing'an 543 years ......"

Xu Mu casually made up a birthday according to his appearance.

Lu Kuai pretended to pinch his fingers and counted for a while, his face suddenly showed a heavy look, and he took out a few pieces of armor with engraved lines, and threw them on the ground a few times, then raised his head, frowned and said: "Fellow Daoist, the result is a little not good, I don't know if you still want to listen?" ”

"Fellow Daoist, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Xu Mu smiled.

"A great omen, if you continue to stay in the imperial capital, you may be worried about your life!"
