"Another out of place feast. Li Mu looked at the jade plate on the table, and did not mean to move the chopsticks. However, the same as Li Mu, Jiang Chengxue did not move his chopsticks. Li Mu turned his head and glanced at Jiang Chengxue, and suddenly laughed.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Chengxue wore a light veil, only showed her eyebrows and eyes, and did not show her true face. The light veil is hazy, which does cover the face, but daily life is very inconvenient. For example, it's time to eat. How to eat through the veil in your mouth is a question.

Li Mu's smile came thoughtlessly, and Jiang Chengxue looked sideways, with some puzzlement in his eyes.

The county lord on the other side of Wan Ting sarcastically said, "What, this villain has a will?"

"Hmm. Li Mu agreed very simply, looking like I don't care what you do, I look like I'm light-hearted. "Thank you, Lord Shiren. If it weren't for the county lord who brought me here, I wouldn't have had a chance to meet you young ladies and gentlemen. ”

"That's a funny tone. Lord Wan Ting narrowed her eyes, "You can really forget your last name in a meal." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly and ignored it. However, Jiang Chengxue suddenly took over the conversation, "The surname is Li Mingmu, it's just a meal." ”

Hearing Jiang Chengxue's words to defend herself, Li Mu was still a little surprised in her heart. Even though he hadn't forgiven Jiang Chengxue for using himself as a shield, he was always better off in his heart.

However, Li Mu got better, and some people felt uncomfortable. For example, Tao Ran, who was already very unhappy.

You must know that Tao Ran spent a lot of effort in order to marry Jiang Chengxue as his wife. He begged bitterly to let his father, Uncle Tao Guo, go out in person, and through Gu Shuanghua, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, he could say something bad and let Wang Yi feel relieved. Wang Yi said that if Jiang Chengxue agreed, he would agree to the marriage. However, in order to get this result, it was good to say four words before, and how many things were contained in it, I am afraid that only Tao Ran knew in his heart.

There is a way to be a teacher for one day and a father for life. Wang Yi's attitude still has an impact on Jiang Chengxue.

Wang Yi's release is only the first step, and the second step is to do everything possible to get closer to Jiangcheng Xue. Although Jiang Chengxue maintained an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away on weekdays, he couldn't stand Tao Ran's thousands of invitations. For the sake of Master's face, Jiang Chengxue finally agreed to Tao Ran's request to participate in the banquet.

Walking out of these two steps, Tao Ran thought about using public pressure to force Jiang Chengxue a little and let her agree to her proposal. As for Jiang Chengxue's refusal, he thought about it, but felt that he could make Jiang Chengxue agree. After all, he is still very confident in himself.

The Tao family is the first family of relatives in the dynasty, and today's son Chen Xiao is his uncle, and the prince Chen Zhihao is his cousin. Tao Ran himself is also a talent, regardless of appearance and size, he is not romantic, but also chic. Among the ladies and gentlemen in Yacheng, Tao Ran is faintly the leader. Not to mention the wide range of friends, it is also deeply popular.

With such conditions, even if you marry a princess, it's no problem at all. Jiang Chengxue is known as the number one beauty in the world, but Tao Ran feels that she is worthy of her. So, he had everything ready.

As a result, Jiang Chengxue directly found a house slave in the palace of Dongshan County, saying that she was in love with him? Can Tao Ran believe it? Is it true that everyone is a fool? However, Tao Ran would rather believe that Li Mu and Jiang Chengxue really have a leg than believe that this is fake. Because of the false facts, it hurts even more. This incident, the bad thing is that this incident happened in front of everyone, no matter whether the two are really related or not, Tao Ran has lost face today.

Jiang Chengxue would rather find someone to pretend to be intimate than let Tao Dagongzi get his wish, this word spread out, tsk......

Now Jiang Chengxue is speaking for Li Mu, and Tao Ran is listening to it, which is not a taste. He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in an ordinary warm voice, "Aren't these drinks and dishes prepared here to Miss Jiang's liking?"

Jiang Chengxue shook her head and said, "The food and wine are all colorful, fragrant, and delicious. ”

Tao Ran smiled, "When I don't see Miss Jiang moving chopsticks, I always feel that I have neglected the beauty." ”

When Jiang Chengxue heard this, she picked up the chopsticks with her bare hands, picked up the vegetables and put them in the bowl. Li Mu looked at Jiang Chengxue, her veil was covered on her face, and she didn't know how she ate. As a result, Jiang Chengxue lowered his head, lifted a corner of the veil slightly with his left hand, and then picked it up with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, savoring it. Very straightforward, very simple movements. She did it with great ease, with a hint of grace.

Li Mu just saw the smooth and delicate cheeks when the veil was lifted. It was just a wipe, and the perfect curvature of the cheeks had already been imprinted in Li Mu's mind. Recalling that he was dragged by Feng Chaoxue to stay in the Mandarin Tower last night, he smiled bitterly in his heart, "Didn't you commit a peach blossom recently?"

Tao Ran was concerned about Jiang Chengxue without saying anything, he seemed to have adjusted his mentality, and what happened just now did not happen. Jiang Chengxue replied politely. Xu Zhilei was discussing something with Wang Zhen over there. The county lord wanted to continue to toss Li Mu, but Li Mu didn't want to deal with her.

So, Li Mu did what an outsider should do, concentrate on eating, and don't talk.

The whole feast lasted about an hour, and as the night grew darker, the lights were lit in the manor. The crowd was full of wine and food in the hall. During the period, there were singing and dancing, and the guests and hosts were happy. However, the courtship that should have been the highlight was not mentioned by anyone.

The banquet will eventually end, and people will leave one by one. Before Wang Zhen left, he also wooed Li Mu. Li Mu didn't have a bad impression of him, and accepted it with a smile. As for the county lord of Wanting, after giving Li Mu a white look, she walked away.

With Xu Zhilei here, Li Mu suffered some verbal criticism at most at the banquet. Now that the banquet is over, Li Mu breathes a sigh of relief. Xu Zhilei asked Li Mu to stay for the time being. Li Mu thought about the topic that he had talked about with Xu Zhilei halfway before, so he naturally obeyed his fate.

Tao Ran wanted to invite Jiang Chengxue to the Tao family's manor, but Jiang Chengxue refused, and then, she also chose to stay.

The manor is Xu Zhilei's manor, and Tao Ran is just here to hold a banquet. Xu Zhilei personally took the two of them to visit half a circle, and then took them to a side hall.

"To be honest, I don't really have any friends. Xu Zhilei laughed at himself, and then, he looked at Li Mu, and then at Jiang Chengxue, "By the way, do I want to give you some time." After speaking, he twisted his neck and walked out of the side hall, leaving a sentence, "I'll go and walk a few steps first to eliminate food." By the way, don't worry, I'll ask Yu Yu to call someone to serve you tea. ”

In the side hall, there are only Li Mu and Jiang Chengxue. The atmosphere gradually became more delicate.

This is actually not the first time the two have gotten along, Li Mu was sent to the Martial Arts Academy by Yue Yefeng, and at that time, Jiang Chengxue was also sent to the Martial Arts Academy by Wang Yi in order to be able to go further in the Tibetan realm, and accepted Gu Shuanghua's guidance. As a result, Gu Shuanghua ordered Jiang Chengxue to take care of Li Mu's diet and daily life, and said that that was cultivation.

The two can be regarded as getting along day and night during that time. Li Mu was reading there, and Jiang Chengxue was in charge of monitoring. At that time, it was natural for the two to get along.

"Li Mu, I'm sorry. Jiang Chengxue once again expressed his apologies.

Li Mu looked at her and said helplessly: "The good things that men all over the world think about are actually not so good. Since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes, and this sentence still makes a lot of sense. Not a hero, and not worthy of a beauty. ”

"When she said this, did anyone ask what the beauty thought? "Or are you not a hero yet?"

Li Mu was slightly stunned, and then blinked a few times. "I am?" Li Mu asked rhetorically, pointing to his nose. After asking, Li Mu suddenly noticed something. Jiang Chengxue's two sentences are connected, I don't love the heroes of the world, as long as I have you in my heart.

Jiang Chengxue also quickly noticed this, she turned her head and looked out the window. "I was born like this, and I can't help it. However, I am also human. Not the goods in your man's words. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "But that's the case." Miss Jiang is indeed burdened by fame. ”

Jiang Chengxue turned around and chuckled, "Heh, I'm used to it." There are always people who pretend to be affectionate in front of my eyes, but I know exactly what they want. ”

"But they won't dare touch you. Li Mu hit the nail on the head and said, "Because of the three princes of the rivers and lakes, for other reasons, they don't dare to use force against you." ”

Jiang Chengxue knew what he wanted to say, "With Xu Shizi here, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Then why don't you let the prince ......" Li Mu was halfway through his words, Jiang Chengxue said: "This is different. ”

"What's the difference?" Li Mu asked rhetorically, "The shield of the prince is better at blocking arrows than mine. ”

"But I don't know Shizi well, and he doesn't agree, so I can't be sure. Jiang Chengxue explained.

"Alas. Li Mu sighed.

Jiang Chengxue was slightly angry, her eyes stared at Li Mu, and asked, "With me, it really makes you so distressed?"

"yes. Li Mu said bluntly. He now has a lot of things to do, and Jiang Chengxue has added a lot of trouble to him, can he not be distressed?

Jiang Chengxue choked on his answer, she took a few deep breaths, and her chest rose and fell. "I'll make it up to you. ”

Li Mu knew that what he said was not tactful enough, but he was really distressed in his heart. So he asked, "What compensation?"

Jiang Chengxue looked at Li Mu and groaned for a moment.

"Do you want to see what I look like?"

Jiang Chengxue's clear eyes were dyed with a faint light under the lights.
