Chapter 3: Scoundrels

Hongfu Building, the most famous restaurant in Mingyue City, the proprietress surnamed Du, is a young woman with a big belly, dressed in saffron clothes, and a big mole is born in each room.

After seeing Mu Xunxue come in with the beautiful woman in green shirt from a distance, the proprietress rolled her eyes, ran over, and said with a smile on her face: "The two guest officers, please come inside, I heard the magpie call this morning, and I don't want the guests to really come to the door."

"Very good" Although these sycophants are useless to this beautiful woman in green shirts, they are extremely useful to Mu Xunxue, I think I have been a beggar for so long, this is the first time I have been patted on the fart, at this time she is very satisfied and said: "What do you have here to eat?"

"Ahem" this young woman is very happy to hear this, if there is a guest who asks what good dishes there are, then she has many ways to recommend the most delicious and expensive famous dishes in this store, this young woman covered her mouth and chuckled: "There are many good dishes, and there are eight treasures in this store."

"Eight ways?" Mu Xunxue shook the copper coin hanging around her neck with her little hand, and said very old-fashionedly: "Which eight ways? This girl has nothing, she is rich, and she has a good eight o'clock."

"Eight full points?" Mu Xunxue hung six copper coins around her neck, this young woman and the proprietress didn't pay too much attention to it at all, what was put in her eyes was this beautiful woman with a long box on her back, looking at her appearance and temperament, she knew that it was extraordinary, not to mention that the person with the big box behind her was either a swordsman or a pianist.

This woman is so beautiful, it is obviously impossible for her to be a murderous swordsman, it is very likely to be a young lady of a big family, or even a pianist in the imperial capital, she grinned and said: "Eight dishes are four meats, three vegetables and one bowl of soup"

"These four meat dishes are the smell of the chicken dance, peanuts and bamboo shoots are steamed, stir-fried with the cockscomb meat, and finally the pigeon meat is torn apart to mix with the companion" The young woman glanced at Mu Xunxue, whose eyes were full of light and drooling, and continued: "This second dish is that the dragon goes to sea, the white snake takes the meat, and the pigeon takes the claws, which is very delicious."

"Ahem" Mu Xunxue wiped her saliva with her little hand and said, "Don't say it, bring me all the eight ways, and then take a pot of good wine."

"What? you want to drink?" said the young lady in astonishment, "Guest, wine is not sugar water, it is bitter, are you sure you want to drink it?"

"Of course, let's have a pot" After Mu Xunxue took a sip of tea, she said in an old-fashioned manner: "There is wine today and drunk today, this girl wants to have a drink with Sister Fairy, and she will not return if she is not drunk."

"Okay" The young woman's eyelids jumped slightly, and she secretly said that this little girl must have never seen the world, and then she was about to leave, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, the dishes you ordered will be ready soon."

"Badao, are you full?" the beautiful woman in the green shirt snorted lightly and said, "I don't object to your squandering, but you also have to know yourself"

"Sister Fairy.." Mu Xunxue, who knew that she was being trained, looked embarrassed, and then laughed: "It's really fun that you talked to me so much for the first time today."

"Really?" The beautiful woman in the green shirt glanced at Mu Xunxue, and the corners of her mouth raised lightly and said: "As far as I know, I will say more to you in the future, and you only have one word to answer, yes"

"It's... How is it possible?" Mu Xunxue grinned and said, "Sister Fairy is joking, just like the real thing"

"It's true" The beautiful woman smiled, squinted at Mu Xunxue, who was full of anxiety, and said: "You can't afford to buy those eight dishes at all, but the consequences of eating the overlord's meal, the man will be arrested and killed, and the woman will be sold to the kiln, but I can save you."

These words didn't look like a joke at all, Mu Xunxue, who was pale in face, no longer thought it was a joke, now she only had regret in her heart, she only had the smile of this beautiful woman in her eyes, she was afraid, just like the living corpse appeared in front of her again, her lips and teeth trembled lightly: "You... You're going to save me, right?"

"Of course" the beautiful woman in the green shirt said with a smile: "I happen to need a close-fitting little maid, if it is a good service, I can make an exception to accept you as an apprentice."

"Maid?" Mu Xunxue clenched her teeth, now she is very helpless, if she becomes a maid, won't she have no freedom? And she has to wait for this woman? But if she doesn't do it, the consequences will be even more terrible.

"Don't want to do it, then forget it" Just when Mu Xunxue hesitated, the beautiful woman's face returned to normal, like a piece of ice that had been refrigerated.

"No.. I do, I do" This Mu Xunxue knows that it will definitely not work to withdraw the food, now the only thing she can choose is the maid, and seeing that this woman's background must be noble, at least she will not be hungry to be her maid, and she also said, if she has done a good job, she made an exception to accept herself as an apprentice, and her thoughts flew wildly, and said: "Ask the fairy sister to accept Xue'er as a maid"

When the beautiful woman in green shirt heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, touched Mu Xunxue's head and said: "This is good, I will take you to bathe after dinner, so that you can get rid of the temperament of a little beggar physically and mentally."

The eight dishes have been gradually served, and the beautiful woman in the green shirt picked up a diced meat with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and chewed it gently, the posture was very graceful, and Mu Xunxue was already holding a chicken leg and eating it with a big mouthful, and her face was full of oil.

"It's so spicy" After drinking a glass of wine, Mu Xunxue's face turned red, and her eyes were confused and said: "It's so unpleasant, I really don't know why someone drank so happily and killed this girl."

"Spicy and drink?" This beautiful woman looked at Mu Xunxue, who was blushing, and couldn't help but feel relieved, she was born cold and lonely, if there was such a little girl by her side, it would be good, and she was not a real fairy, and the feeling of loneliness was always uncomfortable.

At this time, a man in white clothes, who came to Mu Xunxue's side at some point, unceremoniously picked up the wine jug and poured it directly into his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, smiled like a spring breeze, and sighed lightly: "Good wine, good people, good wine, beautiful people"

"Hey" Although Mu Xunxue was a little drunk and hazy, but after all, she was not drunk, seeing that the man drank his wine without asking, and ruined the whole pot of wine, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and said coldly: "What's the matter with you?

"Waste, so this is called waste?" The man in white was not only angry, but also said with a smile on his face: "Then if I tell my little sister that you are going to waste this pot of wine, will you still let me waste it?"

"Of course... No" This Mu Xunxue suddenly found that this man's words were very reasonable, but thinking that he had ruined a pot of wine, she was still unwilling, and snorted angrily: "However, you can't take a pot of wine... Forget it, this girl won't hold you accountable, you can go."

"Let's go?" The man pulled out a stool with a puzzled face, sat at the table, and then took out a pair of chopsticks to eat the vegetables, as if he didn't see Mu Xunxue's daze expression, and said while eating: "You can't eat such a delicious dish, so I might as well help you share it."

"No" Mu Xunxue was afraid of the table, and her big eyes glared at the man and said: "I see that you don't dress like a beggar, but I look like a beggar everywhere, how can you come and rob me of food? Could it be that you are a robber?"

The man couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and after putting down his chopsticks, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped his mouth, and said, "The girl doesn't know, this is the first time I've robbed a beggar of food, please forgive me."

"You.. You bastard" Mu Xunxue clenched her fists, and wanted to make up for this person's nose, but after seeing the hint in the eyes of the beautiful woman, she finally endured it, picked up a large piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it very hard, as if she was biting the hateful man in front of her.

"Ahem" The man in white was a little embarrassed by Mu Xunxue, and after coughing lightly, he said softly: "Little sister, don't be like this, look at me when you eat, I will be shy, and besides, I am not a bastard, but a scoundrel"

"That's right" Seeing that this person said that he was a scoundrel, Mu Xunxue was also stunned for a moment, and then nodded very approvingly and said: "You scoundrel, you don't come here to drink my wine and eat my meat, right?"

"What the little sister said is very true" The man in white showed a strange brilliance in his eyes, and said happily after raising the wine jug: "I found that you and I are really destined, and there is no one who knows me as much as little sister you."

“.....“

"I originally thought you were just thick-skinned, but I didn't expect you to even lose your teeth?" I only admire you, this girl, don't follow suit" Mu Xunxue picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, and now she was in a good mood, because she had scolded this man so badly, which was regarded as revenge for the pot of wine.

But unexpectedly, the man actually laughed, and smiled very happily, as if he had suddenly picked up gold, and he actually laughed out of tears while holding his stomach, which made the guests here look at this side, and thought that they were going to go crazy after drinking.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at you"

"Laugh at me, laugh at me, what?"

The man in white suddenly stopped laughing again, but said with a sad face: "The little sister's speech is clever, as if the tongue contains highly poisonous, hurtful and sad, but the wine can't be ruined, the beauty can't be abrupt, I decided to invite the little sister to the west building of the city."

"Your tongue is poisonous" Mu Xunxue snorted angrily, and asked curiously: "Where is the West Building? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"How can the little sister know about the West Building?" The man in white put down the wine jug, and after a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, he smiled bitterly: "I don't know if the two of you would like to listen to the music?

"Okay, I didn't expect you to sing a little song?" Mu Xunxue heard the little song, it was a poor woman who wandered all over the place, stroking the pipa and singing, and finally disappeared.

A jade flute was taken out of the man's arms, and there was no dust, but it was still wiped again

The red lotus incense remnants of the jade in autumn, lightly untie the Luo shirt and go on the jade boat alone.

Whoever sends the brocade book in the clouds, when the swallow returns, the moon is full in the west building.

Flowers float and water flows, one lovesickness and two sorrows...

There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned but I was in my heart, oh..

But it was in my heart.

Such a poignant and quiet melody, Mu Xunxue was already full of sorrow when she listened to it, she didn't expect this rogue man to sing so well, she originally asked him to sing it with a curious attitude, but this poignant melody did make her very uncomfortable, which couldn't help but make her more interested in Na Xilou.

The beautiful woman has always been very silent, just sitting there like air, others will stare at her because of her beauty, but she is really like a piece of ice, no matter how many people around her eyes, she will not see it, but after listening to this man's song, she can't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Your Excellency's little song is good, but I also seem to be interested in the West Building" There are only a handful of words that this beautiful woman said in a day, but today she spoke for the second time, and said softly: "I don't know if Your Excellency is willing to tell me?"

"Of course" the man's hand holding the flask suddenly let go, and said flatteredly, "This... The fairy can pay attention to the next, it really makes the next very happy, if you don't dislike it, lead the way for the two of you, and when you get to the west building, you naturally know my intention."

"Where is the West Building?" Mu Xunxue saw that her fairy sister was so interested, and she couldn't help but be even more curious about this West Building, at this time she had imagined in her mind that she was standing on top of a tall building, raising her hand to pick the moon on a hazy night.

"West of the city, Wanhualou"

"What?
