Chapter 184: The Gift

I slept for a long time, a full day and a night, and in the early morning of the next day, Mo Xiaoxie woke up from his sleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ahh

A panicked cry came from the attic, causing the swallows, which had been going to nest on the roof of the attic, fluttering and flying around, and ran somewhere.

What is a little different from the norm is that the person who made this exclamation was not a woman, but when she got up in the morning and saw Allure lying in her arms, she was somehow good Mo Xiaoxie herself.

When he came to the dining room, Mo Xiaoye quickly put food in his mouth and buried his head in it.

As a girl's family, Allure seems to be stable and calm, chewing and slowly tasting the food on the table.

"It's terrible to actually sleep in the same bed with her again. Mo Xiaoye buried his head, pretending to be eating, and secretly glanced at Allure, feeling bitter in his heart.

"To make matters worse, I don't even remember what happened. ”

After quickly finishing the rice in the bowl, Mo Xiaoye flicked his chopsticks, spoke, and then left the house in a hurry.

Looking at Mo Xiaoxie's flustered back, Lian Fu glanced at Allure who was secretly snickering, and said, "Are you doing any pranks again, always making fun of him, beware of him being angry with you." ”

Allure poked the rice in the bowl with the tip of his chopsticks, looked at Lian Daddy, and said, "I didn't do any pranks, this time I'm serious, it's just...... Who made him so tempted? ”

The corners of Allure's mouth pursed into a good-looking arc, with a snicker.

Hmm? Slightly stunned, Lian Fu raised his head and looked at Allure's serious expression, as if he understood something in an instant.

Waving his hand, Lian Fu said: "Okay, okay, you husband and wife can handle the affairs yourself, I, the old man, will not interfere, but everything must have a degree, don't overdo it." ”

"Got it, Daddy—"

Allure dragged out the end of the note, said coquettishly, and then sandwiched a prawn into Daddy's bowl, with a crisp tone.

The couple ...... It was the first time she had been happy with this unique title.

Allure smiled sweetly and took small bites of the rice in the bowl again.

......

I got enough sleep, and my lost physical strength returned to its peak, and my whole body seemed to have endless strength.

Mo Xiaoxie came out of the 'Mo Mansion' not just to escape the embarrassment of the morning.

He had one more serious business to do.

Yesterday, after throwing the 'Wraith Grass' to His Majesty the Emperor, he hurried back home.

With that flavor of medicinal materials, I don't know if the antidote has been made or not.

Mo Xiaoye almost tried his life to get the "Wraith Grass", so he really wanted to witness the final result with his own eyes.

......

"What? The antidote hasn't been made yet? It will take seven days and seven nights to be refined. ”

When he came to the palace, he was blocked by those guards before he entered through the gate, there was no way, Mo Xiaoye could only let the guards go in to pass the news, and waited outside alone.

It should be the second prince Xuanyuan Hao who came out, and from his mouth, Mo Xiaoye quickly learned about the progress of the antidote production.

"It seems that today I can't see what the "Wraith Grass" looks like when it is made into an antidote. ”

Mo Xiaoye sighed regretfully, very disappointed in his heart.

Also, it really makes people feel a little stuffed after all the hard work and not seeing the results immediately, but since Xuanyuan Hao said so, there must be nothing wrong, so he had to postpone his expectations for a few days.

"Are you still going in with me?" Xuanyuan Hao pointed to the inner courtyard of the palace and asked with a smile.

Hurriedly waved his hand, Mo Xiaoye refused: "No need, no need, since the antidote is not good, I won't go in, remember to notify me when it's ready." ”

After finishing speaking, Mo Xiaoye was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait. ”

As soon as he turned around, Xuanyuan Hao stopped Mo Xiaoxie with a loud voice.

Seeing that Mo Xiaoye stopped immediately, Xuanyuan Hao gently proposed: "Why don't I take you around the palace, didn't my father say before you leave, as long as you live and come back safely, he will allow you to visit the palace, do you want to fulfill this promise now?"

"Ah!?Wandering around the palace? There is nothing interesting in the palace, I might as well go back and practice more at that time, or go to the market to shop, I appreciate your kindness, but the palace day trip is still free." ”

Mo Xiaoxiao refused Xuanyuan Hao's invitation without the slightest interest, turned around and left in style.

It's a bit surprising to turn down such a tempting offer, and it's a dream of many people to be able to wander around the palace.

But in the eyes of Brother Mo, that's just it.

Standing outside the palace for a moment, Xuanyuan Hao smiled and walked into the palace.

The antidote was found, and his father's life was saved, but the matter was not over.

Those who dare to attack their father and emperor and dare to do such a rebellious thing as "killing their father" must be punished.

Big brother, since you have done such a desperate job, then I will not let you do it wantonly.

Don't you have a longing for this throne, and you want to get it at all costs?

Then your dreams will be broken by my own hands, who are my younger brothers.

Xuanyuan Hao clenched his fists, his eyes became sharper and more murderous than ever, and his "benevolent heart", nourished by anger, finally had a different determination from indecisiveness!

......

It's weird to be wandering around alone, so there is no detour, and after saying goodbye to Xuanyuan Hao, Mo Xiaoye immediately returned home.

I didn't go far, and I didn't expect to see Allure sitting outside alone, soaking up the sunshine while bringing out her piano with her, quietly lowering her head and adjusting the strings.

Mo Xiaoye didn't deliberately hide his footsteps, so he was noticed by Allure City from a distance of about fifty meters.

Looking up at Mo Xiaoxie's somewhat awkward face, Allure smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

"I'm not angry!"

As soon as the words fell, Mo Xiaoye hurriedly denied it, and then, as if remembering what happened in the morning, he frowned, and said, "And even if I'm angry, there's nothing wrong with it, who let you tease me again." ”

With the lesson of the second day of the wedding, Mo Xiaoxiao took it for granted that it was a "sweet trap" deliberately set by Allure, so his tone was quite bad.

After stopping the work of tuning the strings, Allure looked up at him and said very strangely, "Why am I teasing you? Isn't it normal for husband and wife to sleep together? Is there anything wrong with this?"

opened his mouth, and Mo Xiaoye was speechless by her words.

Things are indeed as she said, and the truth is also the same, but once I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, for the scene in the morning, Mo Xiaoxie always felt that it revealed the breath of conspiracy, but because there was no evidence, he had to argue stiffly: "But even if I count today, I have only lived with you in that room for two days, so I am a little unaccustomed to it, and I don't feel that the two of us are so familiar......"

After listening carefully to what Mo Xiaoxie said, Allure did not have the slightest unhappy expression, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly proposed: "Or...... We'll all live together in the future? You'll get used to it. ”

Listening to Allure's sudden thoughts incredibly, Mo Xiaoxie couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and his eyes flashed with vigilance.

"What the hell do you want to do, I don't have the leisure to play with you. ”

I didn't expect him to be so defensive about himself. Allure's eyes were gloomy, but he quickly returned to normal, and said: "That's it, you shouldn't have anything important today, let's go outside together, so that you can get to know me a little bit at the end of the day." ”

"I'm not going. ”

Mo Xiaoxiao refused without thinking about it.

Just kidding, Xuanyuan Hao didn't go to the palace himself if he wanted to take him, what was the matter with coming back to accept the invitation of Allure, and it was better to stay at home all the time when he went out with her.

"No, you have to come with me. ”

Allure pouted, put the piano aside, got up and pulled Mo Xiaoye to go out.

"Wait!wait!"

Facing Allure with thin arms and legs, Mo Xiaoxie didn't dare to exert too much force at all, which led to him even being dragged out by Allure's seemingly small force.

"Alright, alright. It's okay for me to go out with you, but you must change out of this outfit first and wear a normal outfit. Knowing that he couldn't resist her, Mo Xiaoye had no choice but to raise his hand and surrender, reluctantly agreeing to her wish to go out together.

"Okay, I'll go and change, you wait for me here. ”

There was unintelligible excitement between his eyebrows, and Allure seemed to be afraid that he would take the opportunity to escape, and after giving a command, he trotted back to the attic.

Only Mo Xiaoxie was left alone with a sullen pestle there, a little irritable.

"You're going to hang out with the girl. ”

Lian Fu appeared behind Mo Xiaoxie, who had a heart in mind, like a ghost, and asked without warning.

Scare!?

Mo Xiaoye was taken aback, and turned around to see that it was Allure's Daddy who spoke, so he smiled embarrassedly and nodded hesitantly.

Oh......

Lian Fu showed a clear look, and his smile was full of the kindness of the elders.

"Then you can go out for a day, you know, during the time you are not at home, she has been worried to death, often do not think about tea and dinner, you can come back, she must be very happy." ”

After speaking, Daddy Lian slowly left here, leaving Mo Xiaoye alone to ponder.

"Will she worry about herself?"

Mo Xiaoye looked at the small attic not far away, and was stunned for a while.

......

The clothes selected by Allure are very ordinary, and they are ordinary to the extreme.

The fabric is ordinary, the style is ordinary, and even the size is very ordinary.

And it is precisely because it is so ordinary that it is difficult for the clothes she wears to cover her convex figure, making her whole person exude a seductive atmosphere.

"You're too close to me. ”

Mo Xiaoxie's face was as black as charcoal, feeling the gaze of passers-by, he turned his head sideways and whispered to Allure who was holding his arm.

"What if you don't get closer? Don't you see the shining eyes of those men? Aren't you, as my husband, supposed to protect me?"

Allure did not mean to let go, but said with evidence.

"Eyes shine...... It's not because you're dressed like this, didn't I tell you to dress ordinarily? ”

As soon as this was mentioned, Mo Xiaoye was a little angry, snorted twice, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly.

"yes, I'm wearing it as you ask. Of all my clothes, this one is the most ordinary, and I managed to find it with great difficulty, I remember that I bought it when I was a teenager and have kept it until now. ”

In your teens, Mo Xiaoxie's ears pricked up, he turned his head, and asked suspiciously, "Then can I ask how old you are now?"

"When...... Correct...... No...... Yes. Allure sternly refused, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "You must know that age is a woman's biggest secret, and even the closest people can't ask casually." ”

"It's troublesome. Mo Xiaoxie faintly had green tendons on his head, turned his head and ignored her, and looked ahead.

Just when Mo Xiaoxie was looking left and right, wanting to distract himself from Allure and become more natural, a back that felt very familiar to him suddenly flashed in the crowd.

Mo Xiaoxie's body stiffened instantly, stood still, stood on tiptoe, and looked in that direction again, but the back had already disappeared into the vast sea of people, without a trace.

"You wait here for a while, I seem to have seen an acquaintance, come as soon as I go. ”

Mo Xiaoxie's face was extremely serious, his eyes looked straight ahead firmly, and he quickly got into the crowd and mixed with the crowd.

Leaving Allure alone melancholy with his hands on his chest, like a lonely poplar growing in the wilderness, receiving the baptism of wind and sand.

After about half an hour, Mo Xiaoye finally squeezed out of the dense crowd, with a heavy look of confusion on his face, his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's the matter, what are you doing?" Allure asked, as he greeted him, like a wife, very naturally.

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw the back of a guy in the crowd just now, and it looks like a guy I once knew, so I chased after it and was ready to make sure. ”

Mo Xiaoxie held his chin with his right hand, frowning, looking troubled.

"Could it be...... Could it be that the person you see is someone you like?"

Allure's expression darkened, and he asked instead.

Alas, Mo Xiaoxie just wanted to nod subconsciously, but was immediately stopped by him, staring at Allure with stunned eyes, Mo Xiaoxie hurriedly denied: "No, no, how is it possible, the person I am looking for is a friend of mine from the past." ”

"I see. Allure laughed, secretly blaming himself for being cranky, and immediately relaxed.

Walking side by side, the atmosphere between the two became a little dull.

At this moment, Mo Xiaoye asked without warning: "Now, Allure, do you say that people can be resurrected after death?"

I didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a bizarre question, Allure thought about it, and suddenly said with a lonely expression: "It shouldn't be, if people can be resurrected after death, there will be no joys and sorrows, let alone any hatred that is not shared with the sky." ”

"Yes. Mo Xiaoxie's expression was relaxed for a while, and he secretly thought to himself, "I was still dazzled at the time, how could it be him?" Jiang Sheng and Brother Jiang had already died on the periphery of the 'Ghost Domain' a few months ago, but they had seen it with their own eyes. ”

Taking a deep breath, Mo Xiaoye let go of this unrealistic idea and turned his head to look at Allure who had become quiet for some reason.

It didn't matter if it looked at it, but it scared Mo Xiaoxie a lot, and he saw that Allure's eyes were red and swollen with tears, and his expression was sad.

She actually cried? That character should be very strong, and everyone in Allure actually shed tears.

The reason why she cried was because of what she asked......

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that weird question, don't cry, okay?"

This kind of scene is one of the scenes that Mo Xiaoxie is not good at dealing with, he is obviously a little overwhelmed, and even speaking gives people a feeling of nervousness.

"It's okay, it's not your fault, it's just that I suddenly thought of something sad. ”

Allure gently wiped the corners of his eyes, wiped away his tears, and whispered.

"Uh...... It's hard to do now. ”

Mo Xiaoxie bent his fingers, scratched his cheek, and carefully thought about countermeasures.

"There is!" Mo Xiaoxie moved, turned around and took out a delicately packaged small box from his personal space, and handed it to Allure.

"What is this?" asked Allure with a faint cry.

With a smile, Mo Xiaoye handed the box forward again, and said, "This is the gift I bought for you by the way when I went out to do errands for the emperor, I have always forgotten to give it to you before, so I took this opportunity to hand it over to you." ”

After Allure took the box, Mo Xiaoxie crossed his hands behind his head, tilted his head and said, "...... So don't cry anymore. ”

Carefully opening the box, there was a delicate ornament lying quietly, like a jade pendant worn by some people around their waists.

"Thank you! I love it!"

Sticking the jewelry on his chest with one hand, and wiping it at the corner of his eye with the other, Allure smiled with a little teardrop, and there was a strange poignancy.

It turns out that she can also show such a cute expression?

After looking at it for a moment, Mo Xiaoye looked at the sky and smiled, relieving himself.

"That's good, as long as you like, then let's go around again. ”

"Hmmm......"

Allure replied happily, and grabbed Mo Xiaoxie's arm again, very hard...... Very hard......

......

Mo Xiaoxie and the two of them looked east and west in the market, and after a long time, their hands were still empty, and they didn't buy anything.

Just as they were about to go home and go back to rest, a voice stopped them.

"Wait a minute, the couple in front of you, I have something to ask you for. ”

A middle-aged man with a board in one hand and several long boxes tied together with ropes in the other, wearing a scribe's hat, walked towards Mo Xiaoxie and the others and greeted them.

"You're calling us?"

Mo Xiaoye pointed at himself, then pointed to Allure standing beside him, and asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's the two of you, I'm actually a painter, I've been traveling around the world on weekdays, wanting to paint all the famous rivers and rivers, and this time I came to the imperial capital to improve my painting skills and make myself to the next level. ”

The middle-aged man always had a friendly smile and talked about his topic.

"So, can you let me draw you guys, on my drawing paper. ”

The middle-aged man's eyes radiated eagerly, pleading for their permission.

"If you want to paint, you don't have to paint us, there are still a lot of famous landscapes in Penglai City, you can paint something else. Mo Xiaoxie did not agree to his request because of the other party's gentle attitude, so he planned to pass the buck outward.

"No, no. The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I see that you are handsome men and beautiful women, you are simply a fairy couple, if I guess correctly, you should be a couple." ”

was praised by outsiders in person, Mo Xiaoxie was okay to say, but Allure's face turned slightly red, glanced at Mo Xiaoxie, and whispered: "Actually, we are husband and wife." ”

"Well, really? Then I'm sorry I was wrong, but don't you want me to draw a group picture? Just take a moment for both of you, and I'll give you both the portraits. ”

As soon as he heard this, Allure immediately became interested, his eyes flashed with a moving look, and then he looked at Mo Xiaoxie with balloon-like eyes, hoping that he would agree.

was stared at by a pair of big watery eyes, especially when she had just cried, Mo Xiaoxie was not hard-hearted after all, after gritting his teeth, Mo Xiaoxie nodded fiercely, and agreed to let the middle-aged man draw a double portrait for them.

With the approval of the person concerned, the middle-aged painter was very happy to take out all the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and put them in an open space next to him, so that Mo Xiaoxiao and the others could pose for a shape, and then, his whole person's momentum changed dramatically.

The gentle smiling face instantly became a board, and the eyes that had been smiling immediately opened a big gap, sometimes looking at Mo Xiaoxie and them, sometimes looking at the picture scroll placed on the board, and the tip of the pen in his hand jumped on the paper as if it were spiritual.

Really as he said, it didn't take long for the middle-aged painter to finish his work, looking at the lifelike pair of beauties on the scroll, his eyes narrowed again, and he looked quite happy.

"Look, how did I draw?"

The middle-aged painter handed the scroll to Mo Xiaoxie, who came over, and said with a smile.

Even if he didn't know anything about painting, he only saw that he and Allure in the picture scroll wanted to be full of charm, as if a real person was hiding in it, he knew that this painting was indeed an excellent work, so Mo Xiaoye nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Well, yes, it's really good." ”

Then he handed the scroll to Allure, who couldn't wait to see it, and turned his head to look at the middle-aged painter who didn't look very insignificant.

"Your painting skills have entered the 'Tao'. Mo Xiaoye looked him up and down and asked bluntly.

"Oops, I didn't expect you to see it. ”

The middle-aged painter looked a little surprised, then squinted embarrassedly and continued to giggle.
