Chapter 14: Memories of the Past (8)
Mu Beiting was stunned at this moment, his mind fell into a blank, and in the face of the silk handed over by Xun Dai'er, he only subconsciously reached out to catch it, and then watched her turn around and leave in a daze, until she was gone.
After another long time, Mu Beiting finally recovered from his stunned state. He slowly lowered his head, and his heart was full of emotion, secretly thinking that in the past years, there had never been such a face that could make him so moved.
The slender and well-proportioned phoenix eyebrows, like the eyes of the stars of the bright moon, the delicate nose, the pink cheeks are slightly dizzy, and the cherry lips are ruddy and bright.
Thinking of this, his mood became more and more agitated, and he said secretly: "I'm afraid that the fairy in the sky is nothing more than that!"
Then he looked at the silk in his hand, and speculated to himself: "She showed her true face to me, and gave me silk, isn't it for me... Got feelings for me?"
As soon as he thought of this, he only felt a rush of blood instantly surging into his heart, and he just wanted to let out a long howl at the moment to express his joy at the moment.
But he finally held back, and only then another thought jumped into his heart: "But I have no long things, and I am neither official nor businessman, and some of them are just a little shallow name in the rivers and lakes, but what is this false name? She is a famous lady, I... How can I be worthy of her? What's more, her father Xun Yue has always been contemptuous and xenophobic to people in the rivers and lakes, even if she has the heart to treat me, I'm afraid that her father Xun Yue will not tolerate me..."
As he thought so, he suddenly began to suffer from gains and losses again, and his excitement instantly dropped.
In a trance, he suddenly felt that someone patted him lightly on the back, and he was startled, and hurriedly looked back, but saw that the person who came was Shan Yushan, a brother in the alliance.
This Shan Yushan happened to meet Lin Zongbian and others when he was in Gusu, so he also came to participate in the celebration with him. He was five short in stature, and he had a pair of thin eyes on his big head, but when he saw Mu Beiting turn around, he immediately squinted his eyes into a line, and said with a sneer: "Is Brother Beiting waiting for someone?"
Mu Beiting was taken aback, only to say that the previous scene had been bumped into by him, and now he was going to poke his mind, and he didn't dare to turn around at the moment, but secretly turned his palm, first held the silk in the palm of his hand, and then slowly shrunk into his sleeve, and then turned around and asked with a smile: "Brother Yu Shan, you... Are you looking for me?"
Shan Yushan suddenly showed a helpless smile and sighed: "There are many friends from all walks of life in this courtyard who come to our seats to pay a toast, but you two are good as a family, and as soon as the lion dance is over, they will all disappear." Everyone has no backbone now, and if you don't go back, the brothers are afraid that they won't be able to hold on!"
Seeing that it was a false alarm, Mu Beiting secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The brothers who attended the meeting this time are not very drunk, but it is difficult for them. Let's go back and get the scene back. After speaking, he picked up Shan Yushan and walked to the banquet.
But this time he drank at the table again, Mu Beiting was no longer in a state, he could not fall down more than ten altars in the past, but today he felt dizzy after only drinking four or five altars. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't see Lin Zongbian returning, so he excused himself to find someone out of the garden.
He walked out, and unconsciously walked to the flower pond in the front garden of Xun Mansion, at this time everyone gathered in the middle garden and the inner garden to drink and feast, and the front garden was rarely quiet. He found a staircase and sat down, quietly looking at the night scene in front of him.
Tonight, the courtyard is lit up with lights, and the light of bright candles illuminates the garden as if it were daytime. In the hurry that he and everyone had come in a hurry, he had not carefully appreciated the scenery of this garden, but at this moment he sat down and sat down before he began to enjoy it.
Gusu garden is the best in the world, this is a well-known thing. The Xun family is a large family in Gusu, and the quality of the garden will naturally not lose its standard. Mu Beiting sits on the steps, you can see the moon pavilion star platform in front of you, the potted flowers are clustered nearby, the plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum on both sides is correspondingly interesting, the bending flow waves in the pond reflect each other, even if you watch it at night, it is also a fairyland beauty.
He saw it with a relaxed heart, and he was sincerely amazed, thinking that even if this garden was compared with the "Humble Administrator's Garden" of Wang Yushi, he was afraid that it would not be much better. After watching it for a while, I thought of Xun Dai'er inexplicably, and then reached into my arms and took out the piece of silk, and looked at it carefully, thinking: "Is she already resting? Alas, I don't know when I'll see her again after saying goodbye tomorrow..."
Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a pleasant voice behind him ask, "Mu Daxia, why are you here?"
Hearing this call, Mu Beiting froze instantly, a sudden rush of blood rushed up to his heart in his chest, and the feeling of surprise and pleasure instantly jumped into his heart, but then he panicked, stood up in a hurry, and hurriedly hid the silk in his hand, and said incoherently: "I... I'm here... I'm looking at Aya... No, I'm looking at the garden. ”
The person who came was Xun Dai'er, in fact, she had already hidden behind the door and quietly observed Mu Beiting for a long time, and her every move was seen in her eyes.
Seeing that Mu Beiting's embarrassment at this time was really interesting, she couldn't help but think of teasing him, so she deliberately frowned, raised her eyes to look at the garden, and asked curiously: "It's dark, and the flowers and trees in the garden can't distinguish the color, so what's so beautiful?"
Mu Beiting hurriedly explained: "The trees and flowers are indeed difficult to distinguish colors, but the shadows of these trees and strange mountains and stones have a different taste. ”
Xun Dai'er saw that he answered seriously, and her previous embarrassed posture was completely gone, and she was even more curious in her heart. At that moment, he also wanted to take a closer look at the beautiful scenery in his mouth, so he stepped forward, adjusted the position of his vision, and looked at the garden again.
When Mu Beiting saw her approaching, his heart beat violently, and when he smelled the faint fragrance wafting from her, he felt even more dizzy, and the whole person was stunned for a while.
After Xun Dai'er visited the garden for a while, she exclaimed: "I grew up in this garden since I was a child, and the scenery in the daytime can be seen every day, but my father is very strict with me, and he doesn't let me go out of the room every day after dusk, so I have never seen the night scene in this garden." Well, at this time, it seems that this night scene also has a unique beauty. ”
She looked at it for a while, but she never heard Mu Beiting's answer, so she looked sideways at him, but saw that he was looking at her blankly, his eyes unblinking.
Her face suddenly flushed, and she said softly and angrily: "Why is Mu Daxia so unreasonable, why do you keep staring at me?"
Mu Beiting was "scolded", and immediately came back to his senses, and explained repeatedly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you... You're beautiful, I... I love watching..."
Although he is not a person with good eloquence, he is not stupid, but he is flustered and nervous at the moment, and he forgot all the words of praise for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he finally held back the word "beauty".
Xun Daier really likes to see his appearance under embarrassment, and when she heard him praise her beauty, she was very happy, and he said the word "like" again, she couldn't help but be more and more happy, and smiled: "Okay, I know, you like me." ”
Mu Beiting was told by the beauty in front of him, and his expression was even more uneasy, and the heroic spirit of the past was also disappearing without a trace at this moment, and only after a while did he ask in a panic: "You... You know all about it?"
Xun Dai'er nodded and said, "I didn't know before, but now I know." ”
Mu Beiting hurriedly asked, "Then you... You're not mad at me. ”
Xun Dai'er smiled and said, "No, actually... Actually, I really like to let you watch it..."
After she said this, her cheeks couldn't help but flush, and under the bright fire light at this time, it looked even more beautiful.
Mu Beiting was overjoyed, and finally affirmed what he thought in his heart, knowing that Xun Dai'er did have a heart for herself, and wanted to rush forward to hold her hands at the moment. But he hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't dare to step forward rashly, and after calming down two snaps of his fingers, he said, "I... Can I call you Dale?"
Xun Dai'er nodded shyly and said, "Well, but you can't be called like this when you have someone else on your side... As you know, my dad has never been a big fan of martial arts people who dance with guns and sticks. ”
Mu Beiting nodded again and again, and said, "I know about this section, but... But why do you treat me..."
Xun Dai'er saw that Mu Beiting was still talking, and immediately guessed what he was thinking, and immediately took his words and explained: "I know you have doubts in your heart, actually... Actually, we met three years ago. ”
Mu Beiting Qi said: "Ah, three years ago, but why don't I have any impression? It seems that if I had seen it before, I would never have forgotten it." ”
Xun Dai'er heard him praise his beauty again, and she was very useful in her heart, and replied with a smile: "It's not really a meeting... Well, do you remember the Wuli Bridge?"
Mu Beiting frowned and recalled for a moment, and suddenly remembered that about three years ago, he had indeed stayed in a small town called Wuliqiao outside Yuyao County for a few days, so he said: "Remember, I lived there for a few days..."
But as soon as he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "Could it be that you are the person in the sedan chair?"
Xun Dai'er nodded with a smile and responded, "That's right, it's me." ”
Mu Beiting let out a long sigh, sighed with emotion, and his thoughts unconsciously returned to that day.
