At three o'clock, Mu Qing walked out of the bookstore.

In early summer, heaven and earth begin to meet, and all things are showing. The light of the sky at this hour is no brighter than the spring morning after the rain in Suzaku City.

When Mu Qing came, it was sent by the Liu family's carriage, and when he arrived, he found that the bookstore was also in the east of the city, only a few streets away from the Liu family, so he told the coachman not to wait for him, he would find it back.

There was a lot of noise in the distance, and Mu Qing turned around to look at the closed door of the store, and walked towards the crowd of people who got up early on the street while lightly tossing the silver willow leaves he had exchanged.

"On the fifth day of the fourth month, today is Wei Rui's birthday. What should I buy for her?"

After opening up and chatting last night, Mu Qing finally understood her cowardice in this regard, getting along with a girl like Wei Rui, she actually didn't lack some material things, what she lacked should be his sincerity to take the initiative.

So Mu Qing planned to take advantage of this time to visit Jinguan City, and choose a gift for the other party by the way.

Jinguan City is obviously more dynamic than Suzaku City. Ordinary vendors who get up early have set up food stalls on the streets, and although some of them yawn and their eyes are slightly weak, their faces naturally reveal the comfort of this ordinary and stable day after day.

Mu Qing doesn't belong here, but it doesn't prevent him from liking the atmosphere of life here, and even began to worry about the people here, I don't know if this time the civil strife in the City Lord's Mansion will slowly break the quiet life of these people?

It's just that Mu Qing quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly, giving up and continuing to think in this direction.

This kind of big-picture thing can be done by Ye Yun and Liu Weirui, but he is an assassin and a killer, what do you want to do?

When the road is uneven, I feel that it is difficult to be calm, or I can pull it out. After he leaves, if the person he saves is retaliated again, it is not something he can think about so far.

Stealing half a day's leisure, Mu Qing was aimless, and walked to some lively places.

There was a fresh breeze in the face, sending a faint floral fragrance from the street ahead, and this fragrance even had an obvious sense of layering, although the fragrance was light but diffuse.

Mu Qing was a little curious, walked over there, and found that in an alley around the corner in front of him, there were seven or eight people, but all of them were women.

He turned around and was about to stop leaving, when he heard someone shouting "Latest Golden Cinnamon Rouge", and he looked back to see that the women had noticed him too.

A woman who was closest to him, but also a foot away, was dressed in red and graceful, looked at Mu Qing with empty eyes against the light, and said with a smile: "Is it the steward of Xiaohong Mansion, your young lady asked you to buy a new style?"

Mu Qing turned around and stood still, frowned and said, "This sister, I was just curious and came here to take a look, you recognized the wrong person." ”

His tone was a little stiff, what is the place of Xiaohong Building, he didn't know what place it was before last night, but when he was drunk last night, he heard Li Si quietly mention to the Zhang family brothers, "Xiao look at the red wet place", and praised the other party at that time and said that the writing was good and there was a sense of meaning, but this guy squeezed his eyebrows at him for a long time, held back a smile, looked at Miss for a while, looked at him for a while, and only knew under his heavy threat that this guy said that it was the most famous place in Jinguan City, Xiaohong Building.

Xiaohong Mansion is the largest and best Qinglou in Jinguan City and even Qingchuan Prefecture, since the other party thinks that he is the person who came out of there?

Mu Qing always felt that the other party was scolding, so he got closer, wanting the other party to see more clearly.

Wang Xiuwei is twenty-four years old this year, a few years ago she was still the most famous Qingqier in Xiaohong Building, and later after saving enough money, she actually ransomed herself, this matter was still rumored in Jinguan City at that time, and it was said that she was taken by the city lord Bai Ting, otherwise how could she redeem herself really become.

It's just that what happened later is really incredible, just because Wang Xiuwei did not enter the City Lord's Mansion, but came to the current Red and Blue Lane and opened a rouge shop called "Xiulan", and it seems that there is no contact with the City Lord's Mansion anymore.

And Wang Xiuwei's main customers now are the sisters of Xiaohonglou in the past, so when he saw Mu Qing just now, he subconsciously asked.

She has been dealing with fat powder all year round, and she is always more observant than a woman who hides in the boudoir and never shows her face.

When she heard Mu Qing's voice, Wang Xiuwei's first reaction was that the other party was not from Jinguan City, because the other party did not have a local accent, and when Mu Qing approached, she would not backlight, and she could see Mu Qing's appearance and posture clearly when her eyes flickered, and she already understood that she had recognized the wrong person.

Dressed in a brocade-edged elastic ink shirt woven with splendid gold silk, the price is not only unbelievably high, but it is not something that ordinary people can buy with money, and then raise their eyes to look at Mu Qing's face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the bridge of the nose is high and the lips are thin, a clear and unparalleled appearance of the son of the turbidity world, Wang Xiuwei has already reached the apology words that usually come out of his mouth, but he forgot to say it because of the moment.

When Mu Qing approached, he realized that he was also a little wrong, although the woman in front of him was dressed in red and thick powder, but in fact, her real age was a few years younger than when she looked at it just now, and she might be more beautiful after removing these flowery makeup modifications.

He didn't know how lethal the body that Liu Weirui specially chose for him was to these young women in thin shirts, and it was comparable to a sword cultivation flying sword at the peak of a grade.

Seeing that the other party hadn't spoken for a long time, Mu Qingjian raised his eyebrows and turned to leave.

Although the other party didn't even say a word of apology, he Mu Qing was not the kind of narrow-minded person who was calculating, and he couldn't embarrass a woman because of such a trivial matter.

What's more, a woman who still comes out to support herself in such a world will always remind Mu Qing of Liu Weirui, although there is a big difference between them, but that kind of independent temperament should always be given some respect.

"Childe, wait!" Wang Xiuwei didn't let Mu Qing go far, her steps were staggered, and in half a breath, she caught up with Mu Qing, who had walked seven or eight steps away.

Mu Qing suddenly became vigilant in his heart, it was really strange today, he could meet a strange woman in an ordinary alley.

Mu Qing turned around, looked at Wang Xiuwei quietly, and sighed in his heart: "This woman's body is not weak, is it an accident?"

Wang Xiuwei noticed Mu Qing's scrutinizing gaze, slowed down, his body was slightly blessed, and said apologetically: "The little girl just recognized the wrong identity of the son, please forgive me." ”

Mu Qing shook his head and said softly, "No." ”

Mu Qing's tone was indifferent, and the implication of refusing to talk any more had already been revealed, but Wang Xiuwei smiled, blinked his eyes, and said: "The fact that the son can come here in search of incense proves that he is a person who cherishes flowers." When a sister shouted that there was a new Rouge, you turned your head and looked at it, do you need to buy something for the person you like or your wife?"

Mu Qingjian raised his eyebrows, he didn't think that he was just looking at it from afar, and he could observe it so meticulously, Liu Weirui's face instantly appeared in his mind, and he nodded a little embarrassed and said, "I want to buy something." ”

"Oh?" Wang Xiuwei asked tentatively, "Is it for the girl you like?"

Girl you like? Mu Qing somehow, the faces of Liu Weirui and Ye Yun appeared in his mind at the same time, and he nodded with a strained face in silence.

Wang Xiu smiled and said: "That's just right, the women's boudoir is used, there are all kinds of styles in Xiulan's shop, you can take a look." ”

"As a token of my sister's apology, I'm giving you the latest Golden Cinnamon Rouge. ”

Wang Xiuwei led the way, and the first place at the head of the alley was her "Xiulan" shop, Mu Qing's right foot had already stepped into the store, and after a faint pause, he walked in.

Wang Xiuwei looked at the dignified woman in front of him, glanced at Mu Qing without a trace, and saw that the other party had no reaction, so he hurriedly greeted him, and said angrily: "Grandma, why did you come out, there are no guests now, you don't need to come out to help if you are not in good health." ”

Wang Xiuwei's aunt looks only in her thirties, and compared with her daughter Wang Xiuwei, she is much more elegant and simple, but the vigilance in Mu Qing's heart is getting higher and higher, and he seriously suspects that this is a trap for himself.

Since the formation of the spirit fetus, Mu Qing's perception of the aura fluctuations between heaven and earth and the aura on people has completely risen to a higher level, and he faintly feels that Wang Xiuwei, the realm of this aunt, is higher than himself!

The woman Wang Yeqing smiled slightly, didn't look at Mu Qing, just patted Wang Xiuwei's hand, and said in an elegant voice: "I saw that you chased out, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, since it's okay, then it's naturally good, you treat this son well, what can you call me." ”

Wang Xiuwei turned his back to Mu Qing, and at this time, he heard Wang Yeqing's concern, his eyes widened slightly, and he said in a tone as usual: "It's okay, I didn't know this son before, he just came here out of curiosity." ”

Wang Yeqing's gaze quickly swept over Mu Qing's body at this time, nodded to him and smiled: "Son, please." ”

Mu Qing's back was a little cold, and he just wanted to leave immediately, but he didn't want to be self-defeating and cause a bad dispute, so he had to step forward.

Wang Xiuwei waited for Wang Yeqing to walk into the back of the shop, then turned around and asked with a smile: "Where is the woman that Gongzi likes? Do you usually have any hobbies and habits? I can recommend it." ”

Mu Qing seemed to be completely unaware of the previous undercurrent, and thought seriously for a while before saying: "She is from Jinguancheng, well, she likes it, she should like it......"

Mu Qing's sword eyebrows collapsed to both sides, and after thinking for a while, he was very frustrated and blamed himself, and finally gave up: "I don't know." ”

Wang Xiuwei pursed his lips quietly and reminded softly: "That son can tell me, what kind of character is that young lady?"

Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, "Wei Rui is a brave and beautiful girl, she should like something fresh." ”

Wang Xiu secretly kept the word "Wei Rui" in his heart, but he was also very curious about the word "brave" that Mu Qing said, what kind of girl can be considered brave.

Mu Qing saw Wang Xiu tilt his head slightly in contemplation, and continued with memories in his eyes: "She has seen a lot of landscapes, and she is not the kind of girl who stays at home. ”

Wang Xiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and faintly guessed a girl, she looked at Mu Qing seriously and said, "Since this is the case, then I recommend a rouge, Yuanshan." ”

"This rouge is made of dewy gardenias and red and blue flowers, and finally coagulated with peach fat, and the cheeks are powdered after makeup, and the hoarfrost is slightly transparent. ”

Mu Qing nodded again and again when he heard this, but he was also a little puzzled: "Isn't the rouge applied to the face?

Wang Xiuwei smiled slightly, and the thick paint on her face became much more natural and beautiful at this moment, she looked at Mu Qing and thought to herself: "The woman you like should be Liu Weirui, the eldest lady of the Liu family, right? ”

However, she said: "The beauty of a woman is natural." Whether it's rouge or dai pen, it's just used to set off. ”

Therefore, although this distant mountain rouge is applied to the cheeks, it can better set off the woman's eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water. ”

"Childe, what do you think?"

Mu Qing was silent for a while, only feeling that the twelve years he spent in the hidden valley were like a hell isolated from the world.

"Childe?" Wang Xiuwei shouted Mu Qing again.

Mu Qing reacted, nodded with a smile, and said, "Then ask my sister to wrap up this rouge." ”

"Both?" Wang Xiu said in surprise: "Although I can already see that you are not short of money, but there are more than a dozen boxes of Yuanshan alone, why don't you sell them when they run out?"

"This time apart, I don't know how long it will be before I see you next time......" Mu Qing sighed in his heart, shook his head and said, "Just wrap it up." ”

"Oh, yes. Mu Qing actually never forgot Ye Yun, and at this time he thought of Peony, and then remembered Xiaochan, who had traveled all the way, as well as the senior sister of Wanhua Valley and the master of Peony......

He felt that his throat was a little dry, and met Wang Xiu's gaze waiting for the following, coughed, and said calmly: "I still have to sell a little something to a few girls." ”

Wang Xiuwei's eyes flashed with disdain that he didn't want to hide.

Mu Qing's handsome face was a little hot, and he tried hard to explain: "Don't get me wrong, some of them are my friends, and some of them are my classmates. ”
