Chapter 43: Brother-in-law
In order to let Qin Yan behave well in front of Mu Chengxue, Lin Muyao also took great pains. She not only taught Qin Yan a variety of skills such as qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also gave her role to Qin Yan, and took care of Qin Yan's ups and downs.
Qin Yan changed into a moon-white Confucian robe, with exquisite patterns extending from his left shoulder to the hem, stepping on the Seven Star Zhenyun boots, carrying a pine sword, and the long hair scattered on his head was also neatly combed, pierced into the Chu crown, with his already good appearance, it looked like a jade tree was in the wind, rich and handsome, but also had a bit of the taste of a beautiful young man.
When the entourage came out of the changing shed with Qin Yan in their arms, Lin Muyao and Mu Chengxue's eyes lit up, and even the eyes of the maids and maids looking at Qin Yan were very different from before.
"Sure enough, it's 'people rely on clothes and makeup, horses rely on saddles', the ancients said it well!" Lin Muyao stroked her palms and praised, "It's still a little taste when you dress up like this." Cher, what do you think, is this actor worthy of you?"
"Ask me what I do, isn't it all you choose!" Touching Qin Yan's smiling gaze, Mu Chengxue turned her face away a little shyly.
"Well, let's rehearse again, starting with Act One. ”
The plot of the first act has not been changed, but it has not progressed as smoothly as it had been. The male protagonist changed from Lin Gongzi to Qin Gongzi, from a tomboy to a real man, Mu Chengxue couldn't let go. When Qin Yan wanted to hold her hand after the plot of the two lovers began, not only did she not accept it happily, but timidly took a step back.
"Stop!" Lin Muyao, who was watching, stepped forward, "Xue'er, your movements and expressions are too stiff and not in place at all." What's going on, is your state too bad today? I remember when you used to play against the second and third children, you didn't act so cowardly. Could it be because Qin Gongzi is too handsome and makes you feel shy?"
"No, no, no. Mu Chengxue blushed and defended, "I'm just a little uncomfortable, just practice a few more times." ”
"Really?" Lin Muyao stared at her meaningfully, "Try it again, if you're really out of shape, then wait until tomorrow." ”
Mu Chengxue shook her head again and again: "The day after tomorrow is Uncle Lin's birthday, we can't delay it any longer." Rest assured, we will succeed this time. ”
Lin Muyao chuckled a few times, stepped aside, and left the stage for the man and woman.
This time, Mu Chengxue's performance was really much more natural. In the wonderful scene of colorful plum petals falling in the wind, she and Qin Gongzi talked about music and rhythm under the tree, talked about music, rhythm, literature and science, and gradually got to know each other, and even turned into love. When Qin Gongzi boldly said words of admiration, Miss Mu lowered her head shyly. Qin Gongzi plucked up the courage to lean forward and gently held the beautiful woman's jade hand, this time, Mu Chengxue did not refuse, but his face was covered with red glow, and he was so ashamed that he didn't dare to raise his head. According to the plot, Qin Gongzi is about to turn his face and make the next move, and Lin Muyao will also play at this time......
However, the originally designed plot was interrupted by a deep shout: "Stop!"
As soon as Qin Yanfu raised his eyes, he felt that the strong wind was blowing in his face, and a figure galloped over, and he had already rushed to the front in an instant. Feeling that the killing intent of that person completely enveloped him, Qin Yan also reacted immediately, hurriedly let go of the right hand holding the beauty, and retreated backwards with all his strength. As soon as he walked with his front foot, the man struck him with a palm where he had been standing. The man didn't expect him to react so quickly, and slapped his palm into the air, but just the strong wind that rose up made Qin Yan's skin hurt, and the whole person was almost unstable on his feet, and his clothes were flying.
If it weren't for the servants who fastened his outfit securely, he would have made a big ugly appearance.
After stabilizing his figure, he also saw the man's appearance clearly. The other party is a young man in his twenties, wearing a blue and white gown, with a curved knife at his waist, and his eyebrows are vaguely similar to Mu Chengxue, which can be regarded as extremely handsome, but a pair of eyes are full of cold light, which looks extraordinarily cold.
This man's eyes are complicated, and he is a scheming and gloomy person. Qin Yan silently made a conclusion.
The man glanced at Qin Yan unexpectedly, snorted coldly, and did not continue the pursuit, turned his head to Lin Muyao and asked, "Miss Lin, what are you doing here?"
And Lin Muyao, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, shrank her head and whispered as if she had encountered a natural enemy: "We...... We were rehearsing the play, and it was just a misunderstanding, he wouldn't really kiss him......"
"You said that you were just talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what kind of drama is there at this time! Even if it is really just a misunderstanding, if it is publicized, how will my sister see people in the future!" the young man said and then fell on Qin Yan's face, and said coldly, "Where did this son come from? I didn't seem to have seen you the last time I came." ”
He fought at Qin Yan without asking questions just now, and when he spoke, he had a domineering demeanor, which made Qin Yan feel disgusted in his heart, and replied coldly: "What is the origin of Brother Tai? I have never seen you!"
At this time, Lin Muyao dragged his clothes from behind and pulled him back a few steps, and introduced: "This is Miss Mu's elder brother Mu Chengshan Gongzi, known as the 'Central Plains Absolute Knife', you must not offend him." When he said the last sentence, he kept his voice very low, if it weren't for Qin Yan's strong divine sense, he really couldn't hear it clearly.
After pulling Qin Yan away, Lin Muyao put on a smile and said to Mu Chengshan: "This is Qin Yan and Qin Gongzi, he is from the northwest and doesn't know the rules very well, Brother Mu must not take his words to heart." ”
It was the first time for Qin Yan to see Lin Muyao's careful reparation, and a strong doubt rose in his heart. Miss Lin's arrogance is well known, whether it is in the face of Die Shumeng or Wanliufeng, how can she ever be soft to anyone? What is so special about this Mucheng Mountain that can make her so respectful and cautious? Could it be that the person she really loves is not Hao Chengang, but the ...... in front of her
Grand Young Master Qin once again thought of the crooked place, and developed a rich imagination about it, until another unfamiliar voice sounded from the bottom of the hillside, which made him wake up.
"I have heard the beautiful scenery of the plum garden for a long time, and I am fortunate to have a look today, and it really deserves its name!" It was a young man in soap clothes and a high crown, with a heroic figure, and his left hand held the hilt of the sword at his waist, which gave people a sense of oppression from afar. While admiring, he strode up the hillside, came to everyone, and saluted Lin Muyao, Mu Chengxue, and Qin Yan one by one.
Lin Muyao's eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a slightly unhappy look, but she did not attack on the spot. Her scheduled eldest brother likes to make friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, and that's fine, but he also brought the friends he just met to the plum garden without notice, which is a little bit unaware of her as the master.
Mu Chengshan knew that Lin Muyao didn't pay much attention to the people in the rivers and lakes, so he introduced the young man: "This is He Lianshan, a disciple of Yandang Mountain, who enjoys the name of 'Heavenly Sword' in the rivers and lakes. ”
Lin Muyao couldn't help but give him face, so he sighed in a surprised tone: "Could it be that he is the son of He Gongzi who inherited the sword 'Dusk' of the predecessor of the Sword God and is called the 'Sword and Sword Double' with Brother Mu?
He Lianshan hurriedly replied with compliments, and the two were polite for a while, He Lianshan said: "I heard that Miss Lin is rehearsing a play, and she wants to celebrate the birthday of the Pavilion Boss, I don't know if I can let Zai Xia also participate, so as to offer a little heart to the Pavilion Boss......"
Lin Muyao shook her head regretfully: "I'm really sorry, we've been rehearsing for a while, and the script can't be changed." ”
He Lianshan said disappointedly: "I just want to play the role of a family member and a dragon, can't I?"
"He Gongzi is dignified, even if he plays a family, he is even more dazzling than the protagonist, which is a little inappropriate. If He Gongzi really has a heart, he might as well come back after the birthday banquet, and we can use He Gongzi as the protagonist to perform another scene. ”
"This ......" He Lianshan looked at Muchengshan, and saw that he didn't react, so he had to say, "Okay, then I'll come back after the birthday banquet!"
"At that time, my plum garden will be sprinkled and swept to greet each other, waiting for He Gongzi. Aunt Hua, you go and see off Gongzi He for a while!"
Before Muchengshan left, Lin Muyao began to send off guests, and she really didn't give face at all. Mu Chengshan also seemed to notice Lin Muyao's slight unhappiness, and did not say much about it. After He Lianshan left, he said to Mu Chengxue: "Xue'er, I'm going to do something and put some things here for the time being." You come with me!"
"Huh?" Mu Chengxue followed with a suspicious face.
Lin Muyao watched the two of them walk down the hill, and sneered: "I really don't understand, I don't love such a lovely sister well, but try my best to recommend her to some indiscreet goods, what is the reason! Just because of the pervert like He Lianshan, I also want to hug the beauty, it's just wishful thinking! You give me a good effort, and I will give you a big reward." ”
"Miss, did you comment on Gongzi He too much, I think he is actually very promising!" Qin Yan didn't understand very much, why Lin Muyao rejected He Lianshan's request, to attract Mu Chengxue's heart, isn't it that the more people there are, the more likely it is?
"You know a fart!" Lin Muyao burst out in a foul language regardless of her image, "You didn't see that guy's eyes just now, you almost wanted to swallow Xue'er." If it weren't for Brother Mu's presence, Miss Ben would have wanted him to look good at that time!"
Qin Yan secretly thought, your statement is too exaggerated, Young Master Ben has been looking at He Lianshan just now, but he didn't see any rudeness in him. On the contrary, Miss Mu's brother is very annoying, you can tolerate it, it can be seen that there must be adultery in it.
Seeing his disapproving expression, Lin Muyao sighed faintly: "Boy, don't worry, they are far inferior to you." You just have to do what I tell you to do and make sure it happens. ”
Young Master Ben doesn't think so!
He turned his face and said lightly: "The eldest lady really thinks too highly of me, but I want to persuade the eldest lady not to expect too much, so as not to be disappointed in the future." ”
"Don't be presumptuous, you can do it. You are different from them...... "Lin Muyao said leisurely, "Of all the people who have seen Xue'er, only you don't have those nasty things in your eyes." ”
