Gongshang Confidante

Su Muxue's face was slightly stiff and gloomy when she heard the words. She will be seventeen soon, and at this age she is still living in a boudoir in the capital, so she may suffer a lot of gossip.

Zhou Chiyu sat on the couch next to her, and asked, "Mu Xue, tell me, which talent or general do you like? I think Shi Mao of the Shi family has both talents, so he is a good husband."

"There's no need to rush this matter," Su Muxue smiled unnaturally, Zhou Chiyu pulled her sleeve, and said, "It was just a misunderstanding that day, and the Shi family retired because of this. I think Shi Mao still has intentions for Mu Xue. I heard that Send someone to talk to Su Chengxiang about love, you are quite talented and beautiful, and your family background is also commensurate. If Mu Xue is willing, I can talk to my father. It is not a bad idea to grant a marriage. After all, Mu Xue has made a great contribution to this trip to Fengzhou ",

With a smile on the corner of Zhou Chiyu's mouth, he blinked, hiding the twinkle in the depths of his eyes, and spoke briskly,

Seeing Zhou Chiyu's smiling face, talking about her marriage, Su Muxue felt as if a needle was grinding the softest part of her heart. It wasn't painful, but it made her eyes flush with soreness.

The sense of loss, helplessness, and melancholy that was constantly tormenting her writhed in her heart, making her lose self-control. She embraced Zhou Chiyu with trembling hands, and pulled her into her arms, feeling the slender bones in her arms. She asked with a trembling voice, "If I get married, how can I stay with you again? To prevent you from being bullied?",

Zhou Chiyu froze in her arms, and said in a muffled voice, "If you say I'm childish, Mu Xue is wayward. You can't just stay with me and stay away from marriage for the rest of your life."

"When the women's imperial examination was held, Xiao Lin, the number one scholar in Sanyuan and the first place, got married at 24. Why can't I? I will accompany you, guard you, and wait for you to have a home," Su Muxue said slowly,

Zhou Chiyu straightened up from her arms, looked at her with a slightly condensed face, and said, "Xiao Lin is one of the few high-ranking female officials in the Zhou Dynasty. The emperor praised her, and the people applauded her, but in the end, the great achievements of being an official were no match for the shocking world of not being married, and finally she resigned from the official position and hastily married a doctor",

"Have you thought about this way?" Zhou Chiyu looked at Su Muxue and said in a deep voice. Su Muxue pursed her lips and her face was a little pale, but she nodded resolutely, with the determination in her eyes.

Such bold and decisive eyes are hard to see on the always gentle and calm Su Muxue's face. Zhou Chiyu was stunned for a moment, his thoughts turned, and then he raised the corners of his mouth, took her arm, snuggled lightly, and whispered Said, "I just want you to be with me, and thinking of you getting married, I also don't want to give up",

Su Muxue's fingers slid across her shoulders, paused, patted her shoulders, and said, "Unless you no longer need me, I will always be with you." Zhou Chiyu lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembling, Half of his face was sunk in shadow, speechless.

Su Muxue embraced her with both hands, her chin rested slightly on the top of her head, and the fragrance of the girl in her arms inhaled into her nose, making her a little dazed. lingering.

The further you go north, the hotter the weather, take off the heavy jacket, did not expect to go to Mobei after Fengzhou, Zhou Chiyu is fine, thanks to Xia Ling's carefulness, she prepared some more light clothes, Su Muxue's clothes brought Not many, I bought a few clothes in Fengzhou.

Although it is already the best shop in the city, the fabrics are still not as fine as those in the capital, and the drawing looks are also simple. Although Su Muxue has been wearing silk and satin since she was a child, she is not picky, and she has a different kind of heroic appearance in her clothes.

Ning Xiaobao was wearing a black brocade robe, holding a long gun, and walked in front of the team with his head held high. The long team carried the banner of the Black Tiger Army, no thieves dared to commit crimes, and the road was safe and sound.

It was still two days away from the nearest town, so they had to eat dry food. Su Muxue was fine, but Zhou Chiyu was a picky eater, and now he was getting thinner and smaller, and his face was getting smaller.

At night, Huayu set up a tent to rest, but Huayu couldn't find Huayi, so he lit a fire in the woods, threw bird eggs from the tree into the fire, took out a dagger, disemboweled the caught bird, and roasted it on the dagger He got up, sprinkled a few grains of salt with his hand, and roasted until it was sizzling, he took a plate from the side, cut it into several pieces, dug out the bird's eggs from the fire, wiped them clean, and sent them to Zhou Chiyu together.

"Your Highness," Hua Yu presented it to Zhou Chiyu. On the plate were roasted, burnt-yellow meat, and a few shelled bird eggs. The egg whites were crystal clear, revealing a little light yellow inside.

Zhou Chiyu frowned, seeing the ashes from the fire on the meat, the bird eggs looked quite appetizing, he picked a few carefully and ate them, then shook his head and refused to eat any more.

"Your Highness..." Huayu handed the bird meat forward, Zhou Chiyu turned sideways, ignoring her, Huayu turned to look for Su Muxue, "Don't tell her", Zhou Chiyu said coldly, Huayu lowered his head Yes.

A black shadow rushed past, Huayi jumped down from the tree, took out a handkerchief, in which lay red fruit, and handed it to Xia Hua, Huayu's eyes were slightly cold.

"Wash it clean for His Highness," Hua Yi ordered, Xia Hua raised her eyebrows, but dared not say anything more, took the silver plate next to it, and poured water from the pot to wash it.

The fruit was crisp, sweet, and delicious. Zhou Chiyu finished eating it in a short while. Huayi glanced at Huayu, blinked, and pulled her out.

"Here, I'll leave some for you." Huayi took out some fruits from her bosom and handed them to her. Huayu saw that her temple hair was loose and her face was dirty, so she didn't know where to pick it. Well, I didn't take the fruit, but took a silk cloth to wipe her face.

"You eat first, it's delicious." Hua Yi stuffed two fruits into her mouth and looked at her with a smile. It looks a little funny.

Huayi burst out laughing, and tapped her nose, Huayu turned her head, reluctant to spit it out, covered her face with silk, chewing desperately,

"Let Xiaoyi take a look!" Huayi was playing, holding her face in both hands, forcing her to come over, looking at each other, Huayu's mouth was wrapped with broken fruit, her face was embarrassed, she couldn't speak, so she could only stare. Wear Chinese clothes.

"You look cuter than usual", Huayi rarely saw Huayu being deflated, and he couldn't scold her aloud. He was in a good mood and said triumphantly,

"Hmm... um...", Huayu didn't want to chew or spit out in front of her in a rude manner, and couldn't speak, so she tilted her head forcefully, but Huayi didn't let her go, her hands tightly Holding her face in his hands, he leaned closer and looked at her with a smile.

Huayu's eyes were shining brightly, she glared hard at Huayi, motioning for her to let go, Huayi shook her head triumphantly, and got closer and closer, both hands began to squeeze Huayu's cheeks hard, seeing that Huayu's mouth was about to Unable to hold back, she tightly pursed her lips, closed her eyes and moved forward, lightly pressing Hua Yi's lips.

Huayi's whole body was stiff, her eyes widened, and she let go of her hand subconsciously. Huayu then took two steps back. In the night, her eyes were like cold stars, and her usually indifferent face tried her best to conceal it, but she still revealed that Huayi had never seen her. past expression.Huayu swallowed the fruit in a hurry, raised her eyelids lightly, glanced at Huayi quickly, and said lightly, "Don't tease me again, otherwise...",

Huayu glanced at Huayi coldly and threateningly, turned around and walked to the side, Huayi was stunned, and touched his lips with his hand, it was stained with Huayu's softness and a little fruity fragrance, She took two steps to catch up and shouted loudly, "Otherwise you will teach me a lesson, right? Just eating my mouth is not fair enough? Huayu, are you a puppy?!",

Huayu stopped abruptly, didn't turn around, just shouted, "Shut up!", "No", Huayi followed, "Don't follow me", Huayu's ears were red in the night, and she sped up. Walking forward, turned over and swept up the treetops,

"How can I sleep without me?" Hua Yi said proudly behind her, followed her to the tree, and ran after her, "You can't sleep with me all the time, let's separate tonight." Hua Yu The words were urgent, and the figure fled away quickly, "Why not?!" Huayi's finger popped a stone, making Huayu's figure slightly stagnant, and quickly followed.

The figures of the two kept jumping around the tree. The people in front were anxious, but the people behind were quite interested. They followed closely under the silver moonlight, and laughter like silver bells sounded from time to time.

"Xiaobao, why did you pull me here?" Ning Xiaobao dragged Su Muxue to the bushes, mysteriously, turning around a boulder, and set up a fire behind him, with a pheasant roasting on it. The aroma was tangy, Ning Xiaobao pulled Su Muxue to sit in front of the fire, took out some red and big fruits from his arms, and handed them to her, "Say, I don't think you have eaten well these days, this fruit is very sweet , try it, I've washed it clean."

Su Muxue sat beside her, straightened her skirt, took the fruit and ate it, Ning Xiaobao looked at her with a smile, took out a dagger from her arms, chopped the pheasant into eight pieces, deboned and fleshed them out, and placed them neatly on the table In the plate, he handed her the silver chopsticks and motioned her to eat it expectantly.

Su Muxue put some in her mouth, the gravy was fresh and tender, the seasoning was delicious, and she had some appetite, she said, "Xiaobao, you can eat it too", Ning Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "I have already eaten it, this is just for you Baked." Su Muxue took a plate from the side, turned it halfway over, and said, "I can't eat these, leave them to Chi..." "No way!" Ning Xiaobao was busy grabbing them, and shouted, " I don't want her to eat the chicken I roast!",

"Xiaobao", Su Muxue held the plate, and asked in a soft voice. Ning Xiaobao stretched out half of her hand, retracted it awkwardly, and snorted coldly, "She is a delicate princess, how can she be used to eating in the mountains? thing?",

Su Muxue shook her head, and said, "She has suffered more than anyone else. You see, Chi Yu has lost a lot of weight these days. Why has he ever complained? Or lost his temper with someone?",

Ning Xiaobao lay back on the grass, pulled out the sweet grass root from the side, threw it into his mouth, chewed and said, "You, I have spoiled her since I was a child, and I always help her, so be careful not to suffer."
