The next morning, Cui Pu woke up from sleep and felt some faint pain in his arms and lower lip.

However, he felt that his chest was heavier, as if it were pressing against a large stone.

Hurriedly opened his eyes, and when he saw the little head lying on his chest that was sleeping heavily, he didn't realize that the corners of his lips were crooked, and a light smile involuntarily overflowed in his eyes.

Under his gaze, Mu Jiaojiao also slowly opened his eyes.

It's just that when she met his gaze, she immediately sank her face and snorted coldly.

Cui Pu's heart suddenly jumped violently, the memories of last night came flooding back, and he shouted in his heart!

"Lady, I was wrong!" he quickly got up and hid in the corner of the bed and shrunk into a ball, "for the sake of me being tossed into this way, spare me!

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him coldly. "You knew that Princess Tang Chang would be looking for you last night, didn't you?"

“...... Be. Cui Pu nodded honestly.

"But you didn't tell me in advance. ”

"It was only after the banquet that someone suddenly stuffed a note and told me. It was an emergency, and I didn't have time to talk to you......"

"Lie!"

Hearing her cold snort, Cui Pu suddenly lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

"I was wrong. He said in such a low voice that he was aggrieved.

When Mu Yi walked in, he heard Cui Pu's voice admitting his mistake through the screen. She suddenly paused, looking a little embarrassed.

The personal maid lowered her voice and asked, "Lady, shall we still go in now?"

"Let's go in, after all, the guests are waiting outside!" Mu Yi said in a low voice, and deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Hongdou, have your lady and Lang Jun woken up? Just now, many county masters came outside, saying that they came to visit your family Lang Jun." ”

"Ah, Niangzi Langjun should almost wake up at this time, the maid is going to call and see!" Hongdou understood, and hurriedly said loudly.

Hearing the sound outside, Cui Pu quickly climbed out of the corner of the bed and got back into the quilt to lie down.

Hongdou lifted the curtain and saw two people who had just woken up.

Mu Jiaojiao only coldly threw a sentence at him: "Lie down for me." And he got up.

Cui Pu originally wanted to get up. As soon as I heard her words, I was so busy that my bones went soft and I lay back down.

Mu Jiaojiao dressed simply, and Wei Zhuang had already brought in the group of county commanders. Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly bowed down to them and saluted: "My family Langjun fell into the water last night, thanks to your care." You came to visit us early this morning, and my wife and I are very grateful. We will remember your kindness in the five years, and we will have the opportunity to repay it in the future. ”

"It should be, it should be. Everyone is a colleague, Cui Xianzun is sick, and it is natural for us to visit. The square-faced county magistrate, who was the first to leave last night, hurriedly returned the salute and asked, "I wonder how Cui Xianzun is now?"

Mu Jiaojiao immediately bowed her head and said nothing, only wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Mu Yiyi replied on behalf of his sister: "The situation is not very good. When he came back last night, the wounds on his arms were blistered, and he had a fever, but he shivered with cold, and he was talking nonsense in his mouth, which scared people to death!"

"Is that so?

"You don't need to ask for a doctor, my sister has good medical skills. She gave him a few injections, took a few pills, and the fever subsided, and she rested all night last night and just woke up in the morning. When he heard that you were coming, he was going to get up and go to see you, but he was so weak that he couldn't get up after struggling several times, so he cured his annoyance and invited you to come to the backyard to see him. ”

"He's so sick that he shouldn't be moving. Just lie down, we don't walk a few more steps and get out of the way. When the square-faced Zhixian heard that the situation was so serious, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head, "I wonder if Cui Xianzun has the energy to talk to us now?"

"Of course there is. Ladies and gentlemen, please. Mu Yi nodded hurriedly, and Wei Zhuang led the person into the inner room.

A group of people bypassed the screen and went inside, and saw Cui Pu lying on the bed, his face was pale, his lips were white and miserable, and his eyes were also sluggish, looking weak.

Seeing them come in, Cui Pu made a gesture to get up, but after trying several times to no avail, he could only smile at them apologetically: "Thank you for coming to see me." It's just that I'm weak now, so I can only talk to you like this. ”

"That's it, you're not feeling well, it's better to lie down. The square-faced county respected the busy words, shook his head and sighed, "Last night, we saw that your face was not quite right, so we thought about leaving today to see you." I didn't expect you to be really sick! Hey, if I knew this was the case, we shouldn't have gone to Slender West Lake last night!"

"Even if I don't go to Slender West Lake and go somewhere else, the man and woman won't let me go. When she was in Chang'an, she had secretly attacked me several times, but she didn't succeed!" Cui Pu said weakly.

The county commanders were shocked, and they exchanged a look with each other in an instant, and their disdain for Wu Lixin and Princess Tang Chang deepened in their hearts.

As for the pair of men and women that Cui Pu said in the previous sentence, and the protagonist of the latter sentence has been replaced by Princess Tangchang...... They didn't pay much attention to it, but they subconsciously thought that the previous things were also involved like Wu Lixin. Therefore, all of them labeled Wu Lixin as Princess Tangchang's male pet, and made up their minds to stay away from him in the future.

While a few people were talking, the maid brought tea to them.

The magistrates all took it and ate a few bites. Immediately, someone said: "This tea is so raw and sweet, what is it brewed with?"

This is called lotus leaf loofah tea, which is made of fresh lotus leaves, ginkgo biloba leaves, lentil flowers, loofah skins, bamboo leaves and other fresh raw materials put together to fry into medicinal juice, filter out the sediment, add white sugar and white fungus, brewed with boiling water, the most is to clear heat and relieve heat. My sister knew that you were about to rush back to your respective county seats, so she specially asked me to make this tea for you, and you will eat it, and you will not suffer from heat stroke even if you encounter a big sun on the way back. Mu Yi said with a smile.

"I see, then I would like to thank Mrs. Cui Xianzun first. The magistrates hurriedly thanked Mu Jiaojiao, and then carefully ate all the bowls of tea.

After a few more words with Cui Pu, it was not too early, and the magistrates said goodbye one after another. Wei Zhuang, as the master of the Wei Mansion, naturally took on the task of sending them out.

When the group of people were all gone, Mu Yiyi hurriedly took Mu Jiaojiao's hand: "Sister, don't thank you for your kindness, Sister will slowly repay you in the future." ”

"Sister, I just asked my brother-in-law to help Rokuro greet the guests, but my brother-in-law did us a big favor. We haven't said thank you and repay yet, why did we thank you first?" Mu Jiaojiao was puzzled.

Mu Yi shook his head. "Although you don't admit it, I and your brother-in-law remember this love!"

It is common to greet guests, but who can have this opportunity to entertain all the county orders under Yangzhou City in one go? Moreover, when Fang Cairen entered the door, he was entertained by Wei Zhuang, and now he will go to Wei Zhuang to send it. This one after another gave him enough room to perform. If Wei Zhuang is smart enough, he will already be able to get in touch with several county orders in this time!

The more he knows about the local county order in Yangzhou, it will naturally be of great benefit to him to walk everywhere in the future. Moreover, who can say that these county orders will only stop at Yangzhou in this life? In a few years, everyone will go far away because of the transfer of positions, then this network of relations will spread to all parts of the country, and it will be even more useful at that time!

Therefore, the love that Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu gave them this time seems simple, but it is actually terrifying. It's no wonder that when Wei Zhuang sent people out, his voice was so excited that he almost couldn't make a sound.

Mu Jiaojiao was helpless, so she could only say softly: "Sister, I'm hungry." ”

"Okay, okay, I ordered to go down last night, and ask the kitchen to make Sanding Buns, Jade Siu Mai, Steamed Dumplings with Crab Roe, Xiaolong Taobao, and Shredded Chicken Rolls this morning, so that you can taste the specialties here in Yangzhou Mansion!" Knowing that she and Cui Pu both love to eat, Mu Yiyi naturally prepared for it, "Now that you guys are up, I will ask the kitchen to bring things." Hurry up and wait for your brother-in-law to get up! ”

After saying this meaningfully, she patted the back of Mu Jiaojiao's hand, and then turned around and left.

Mu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and slowly went back to the inner room.

Cui Pu was lying bored alone. Seeing that Mu Jiaojiao was back, he hurriedly lifted the quilt and jumped up: "Lady, you see that I pretended to be sick just now, right? None of them saw the flaw!"

"Well, it's a good outfit. Mu Jiaojiao shook his head.

Cui Pu's confidence suddenly increased, and he hurried over: "For the sake of me being so obedient, don't be angry, okay? I didn't expect that Princess Tangchang would be so despicable, and she put sweat medicine in my wine! I originally thought that now that the weather is hot, I can swim again, and at most I can walk in the lake." I've got the medicine you gave me, so I'm going to be fine. Outcome...... Or am I too underestimated. I have memorized this lesson, and I will definitely learn from it in the future. ”

Mu Jiaojiao opened his sleeve and saw that the inch-long wound had begun to heal, so he lowered his eyes: "Didn't you have a silver needle with you?

"I was so confused that I didn't listen to my own hands and feet, and I couldn't get such a small needle? Then I saw a vase at hand, and I broke it. I didn't plan to make such a big row, but I didn't have the strength in my hands, so I deliberately used a little bit of strength, who knows, I ......" Cui Pubian flattened his mouth and hurriedly sent his arm to her, "Lady, you see, this wound is long and deep, and there was a lot of blood at that time! It hurt so much that I couldn't do it, and then I jumped into the lake, and the lake water froze, it hurt and cold, and it almost tortured me to death! Last night this place was hot and itchy, and I almost scratched it open." Thanks to you holding my hand all the time, I didn't move. ”

"You also know that I have been pressing you?" Mu Jiaojiao said angrily.

Cui Pu cheekily rubbed on her: "How can you not know? So, you care so much about me in your heart, don't you deliberately pretend to be so angry, okay? Let's talk together, okay? Okay!"

You're a man, okay?

Mu Jiaojiao was so numb by his tone that she had goosebumps all over her body. Quickly pushed him away: "You give me honesty!"

"You said you weren't angry, I'll be honest!" Cui Pu continued to rub and rub.

Mu Jiaojiao was suddenly angry and funny, but more powerless to him. "Okay, I'm not angry, you can let it go, right?"

"Haha, I knew that you were the best, lady!" Cui Pu didn't let go, he immediately hugged her tightly and kissed her on the face.

Mu Yi walked in, and saw the two of them flirting and scolding, and his heart became more and more embarrassed. There is just one sentence, she has to say: "Sister, Princess Tangchang sent someone to send an apology gift outside." ”
