The eldest princess is so annoying!
Chapter 89
early morning.
Mu Xu opened her eyes, only feeling a splitting headache. She frowned tightly, sat up with the support of the bed, and inadvertently glanced at the clothes she was wearing. It wasn't the one from yesterday. What happened last night?
Mu Xu thought about it carefully, and only remembered that he was entangled with Yang Hao and the Qiluo girl, and was forced to drink a lot of wine.
Yes... Girl Qiluo! ! !
Could it be that she spent the night in Chunhua Tower?
Mu Xu was shocked, and got out of bed without even thinking about putting on her shoes, but she didn't want her head to start hurting because of her too violent movements, but at this time, she couldn't care less.
As soon as she opened the door and rushed out, she bumped into Taohua who was about to knock on the door.
"oops--"
Tao Hua took a step back from the collision, and Mu Xu didn't feel better either. Last night's hangover and the collision made her feel like her whole body was about to fall apart.
Seeing that the person he bumped into was Mu Xu, Tao Hua hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "My son-in-law, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Looking down and seeing Mu Xu's bare feet again, Tao Hua worried: "How come you don't even wear shoes? What if the son-in-law catches a cold? Let me help you to bed."
Mu Xu nodded, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a false alarm. It turned out to be in the inn, not Chunhualou.
Taohua supported Mu Xu to sit on the edge of the bed, and then wrung out the face towel in the basin and handed it to Mu Xu. While washing her face, Mu Xu felt her head hurt more and more. As if it came from the back of her head, she reached out and touched it.
"呲-"
Mu Xu suffered from pain, and a big lump swelled up on the back of her head!
It seems to have hit it somewhere, but when she thinks about it carefully, she can't remember it.
Mu Xu frowned, and asked Taohua standing beside him, "Taohua, do you know what happened last night?"
After Mu Xu finished speaking, he patted his aching head again, "Why does my head hurt so much?"
This is really a question to Taohua, last night His Highness was in the room with the Prince Consort, and the three of them were downstairs, so how could she know what happened to them, but she was sure that the Prince Consort must have annoyed His Highness, Why not, when she and Cui Zhu went upstairs, she saw His Highness returning to the room angrily, and after entering the room, she saw the son-in-law lying on the bed, although he was fast asleep, his whole body was wet, and there was an empty space on the ground. birdbath.
Probably the only one who knows the truth is Qingqian. After all, Qingqian is ahead of them all in the room, but Qingqian has always been the most stern-mouthed, so they can't catch up with her.
Taohua said: "Last night, Your Highness took the guards to Chunhua Tower to look for the son-in-law, and then brought him back, and even took care of the son-in-law himself when the slaves went to fetch water. As for why the son-in-law has a headache. ...This...the servants don't know, maybe it's because of the wine?"
In the last sentence, even Taohua didn't have any confidence, and her voice was not the same as before, it became even softer.
Although Mu Xu has just woken up, she may not be sober, but she is not a fool, she will be bluffed when she says she is bluffed, and drinking will make the back of her head swell?
If you say this, someone has to believe it!
At this time, Cuizhu came in, holding a small medicine bottle in her hand, she said: "My son-in-law, you are awake, this slave girl will give me medicine now."
One said that he didn't know what happened last night, and the other had medicine in his hand, and was going to give her medicine as soon as he saw her, as if he knew she was kowtowing.
There must be something wrong with this!
Mu Xu asked, "Medicine?"
Cuizhu was smiling at first, but Mu Xu's eyes were staring at her so that she felt panicked, and she didn't know why the son-in-law looked at her like this, and was about to speak, but saw Taohua blinking at her continuously, and even more so in his sleeves. Stretch out a finger, why is the direction of the finger so similar to the small medicine bottle in her hand? !
Cuizhu suddenly realized, that's right, she just saw the son-in-law and took the medicine, if the son-in-law didn't say anything, how would others know that the son-in-law hurt the back of his head, besides, she didn't serve the son-in-law at that time How did she know that Grandpa washes up?
No matter how she explained it, she was trying to cover it up. Seeing that the matter was exposed, Cui Zhu could only tell the truth, "It was given to the servant girl in a simple way, and it was said that the son-in-law accidentally knocked the back of his head on the edge of the bed last night. His Highness was afraid that the son-in-law would I feel very uncomfortable today, so I sent this medicine and asked my slaves to apply it to the son-in-law."
Cuizhu's face was not red when she told a lie, although she asked Qingqian about the reason, Qingqian never said such things, but Qingqian always only did what His Highness ordered, since she brought the medicine, she wanted to come His Highness also cares about the Son-in-law, so it is not an exaggeration for her to tell the Son-in-law all the unspoken words for His Highness.
Mu Xu turned her head and looked at the edge of the bed, did she knock on it by accident?
Although she knew the truth, why did she always feel that things were not as simple as Cuizhu said?
"Maidservant give medicine to the son-in-law."
Standing behind Cui Zhu and Mu Xu, she pushed aside Mu Xu's hair, and saw a red and swollen part of the back of his head from the gap between the hair roots, and her heart ached, "My son-in-law, taking the medicine will hurt, you can bear it." point."
"Ah."
Although Cuizhu's movements were very light, it still hurt a little. Although Mu Xu frowned, it was not unbearable.
Mu Xu wanted to inquire about what happened last night, so he said, "I wasn't wearing this dress yesterday."
Cuizhu replied: "The son-in-law came back from Chunhua Tower last night, his clothes were stained with alcohol, so the servants and servants changed them for the son-in-law."
Although the two of them didn't see His Highness pouring a basin of water on the son-in-law, they were inseparable. If she told the truth, it would only deepen the gap between His Highness and the son-in-law. Besides, she's not short-sighted.
Mu Xu said: "So that's the case, did His Highness come here last night?"
The love life is not good, didn't she tell the son-in-law about this, why did the son-in-law ask?
Could it be that there is fraud in it?
Peach Blossom was so clever once in a while, she hurriedly winked at Cui Zhu, but Cui Zhu only wanted to increase the distance between the son-in-law and His Highness, so she didn't care about Peach Blossom.
Cuizhu replied: "I have been here, His Highness has been taking care of the son-in-law in the house, the servants and maidservants dare not disturb, seeing His Highness stayed for a long time before leaving."
"Then did I behave rudely to His Highness because I was drunk last night?"
Mu Xu asked such a series of questions that Tao Hua Cui Zhu didn't know how to answer them. If he hadn't acted rudely, why did His Highness pour a basin of water on the son-in-law? If he hadn't acted rudely, His Highness replied Why are you so angry when you are in the room? !
But can they tell the truth?
Of course not!
Cuizhu's face showed embarrassment, and she didn't know how to answer. If she said no, and the son-in-law asked this question, then she must have discovered something, and how should she make it up?
Mu Xu could hear clearly, what Cui Zhu said just now was seeing and singing for a long time before leaving, since seeing him, then the two of them must know something about the truth, and said: "When Your Highness left, how did you feel? Did you say anything?"
Cuizhu suddenly understood, and immediately understood that the son-in-law was so thoughtful, he had set her up unconsciously? !
After sitting for such a long time, Mu Xu was a little awake. She just felt that she had a long dream last night, in which she was there and she was singing.
In the dream, she even kissed and sang...
Recalling the kiss in the dream, the face that was so close to the song, her breath, and the faint sandalwood on her body, all made Mu Xu's face gradually become hot. Washing her face with a towel to suppress the blush on her face, just as her fingertips touched the water, Cui Zhu, who was behind her applying the medicine, was lost in thought and hurt her when she touched it.
"呲-"
Mu Xu withdrew her hand in pain, and because of her action, she accidentally touched the water basin, and before the green bamboo on the side could catch it, the water basin fell to the ground.
"Bangdang-"
Mu Xu was splashed with water, and the bang sound was like a magic sound, and the singing sentence echoed in his ears again - son-in-law, are you awake?
Taohua was in a hurry, she didn't think deeply about what she said, she just said: "How could the son-in-law wet the clothes again, Taohua will take the clothes for you, don't catch a cold."
What Cui Zhu said at that time was that she changed her clothes last night because she smelled of alcohol, but Tao Hua said that she got wet again.
Cui Zhu, who was squatting to wipe the water stains on Mu Xu's body, raised her eyes, but met Mu Xu's eyes when she didn't want to.
Mu Xu's eyes were fixed on the green bamboo who bowed her head, what she said was really not true!
Mu Xu shifted her gaze to her clothes. She got wet last night. If she was not careful, it would be impossible for Cuizhu and Peach Blossom to hide it like this. After all, it is not a big deal, but they just hid it , I think it must be related to Qige.
But why did Gege pour water on her?
If you think of that sentence—consort, are you awake?
Then everything became clear, could it be.... What more extreme behavior did she do to Qiege?
If it's an excessive move, then it's just a forced kiss and song. Could it be that she wanted to force the tyrant to bow her head last night, and Qi Ge poured a basin of water on her in order to stop her?
Mu Xu was shocked by her own thoughts, and even more surprised that she was such a jerk when she was drunk, and she was frivolous and singing, but how could she want to have a physical relationship with Qi Ge!
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! ! !
Although she tried her best to deny and clear it up in her heart, she hoped that someone would stand up and tell her that what she just thought was not true, even though the more she thought about that dream, the more it seemed very real to her. On her nearest emerald bamboo.
Cuizhu knew that this matter could not be concealed, so she had no choice but to tell all she knew, "The servant waited downstairs with Taohua last night, never approached the room, not long after Qingqian went upstairs, I heard There was movement in the house, after the servants and servants went upstairs, they saw His Highness coming out of the room, although there was anger on his face, but he didn't say anything, the servants and servants were afraid that the son-in-law might be drunk and confused, After offending His Highness, after entering the room, they found that the son-in-law was lying on the bed, but his whole body was drenched, and there was an empty water basin on the ground. The servants and servants were afraid that the son-in-law would catch cold, so they took the clothes of the son-in-law. It was replaced."
After Cui Zhu finished speaking, she knelt on the ground with Tao Hua again, "The servants and servants failed to tell the truth to the son-in-law because they were afraid that the conflict between the son-in-law and His Highness would deepen, but it is true that His Highness guarded and took care of the son-in-law last night. It is also true that life is pure and simple, and I hope that no matter what the son-in-law did when he was drunk yesterday, he will never let down His Highness's sincerity! And the servant and maid knew that they had committed a crime and deceived the son-in-law, so they were willing to be punished. I beg the son-in-law to punish me severely!"
Tao Hua followed and said, "I beg my son-in-law to punish me severely!"
Mu Xu pondered for a long time after hearing this, no wonder, if it was as Cui Zhu said, then everything would make sense.
But she still couldn't believe it, she and Qiege were both women, how could she...and how could she do such things to Qiege.
Mu Xu's original intention was to know the truth, and he never thought of punishing them, so he said, "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you two, get up."
"Thank you, Concubine!"
After Mu Xu changed her clothes, she sat on the chair all the time, not daring to leave the door. If she went out, what if she bumped into Qige?
How should she face Qige, as long as she thinks of that kiss, an indescribable sense of shame surges in her heart.
Seeing Mu Xu sitting still, Cuizhu said: "My lord, the breakfast is ready, do you need Cuizhu to bring it up?"
"No need."
As soon as Mu Xu got up, he sat down again, with an uneasy expression on his face, and asked, "Your Highness...can she have breakfast?"
"His Royal Highness's breakfast has been brought back to the room Qingqian." After Cuizhu finished speaking, she seemed to guess what Mu Xu was thinking, and said again: "Maybe I won't come down."
Cui Zhu's words did not make Mu Xu feel more at ease, on the contrary, he became more and more cranky, and Ge didn't want to see her?
Thinking about it, she treated Qige so disrespectfully, which would be annoying to any woman, let alone that person who is Qige? !
It would have been preferential treatment before her head fell to the ground.
It's just that she couldn't imagine how dignified and elegant Qige was in what mood he poured that basin of water on her, what kind of eyes he looked at her, and how unbearable she was when she was drunk.
Even though Mu Xu desperately wanted to know the answer, no one could tell her, and Ge Ge could answer her, but she would not ask, let alone speak, so she could only let herself think wildly.
Mu Xu sighed lightly, and since the song didn't come down, she was less embarrassed. She got up and went downstairs, peach blossoms and green bamboos followed closely behind her.
Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of porridge and a small steamed bun.
Mu Xu was hungover and was thinking about what happened last night. He didn't have any appetite, so he took a few sips.
The people around saw Mu Xu's elegant appearance, elegant appearance and elegant demeanor. They couldn't help looking at them for a long time without closing their eyes. Mu Xu naturally didn't care about the eyes of these people. Others are looking at her.
Cui Zhu stood behind Mu Xu, unlike Mu Xu, she was not worried about His Highness, what happened last night was not that serious, His Highness was angry, but asked Qingqian to deliver medicine early in the morning, what does that mean?
Doesn't it mean that His Highness has a son-in-law in his heart? !
From her point of view, although the care of donating the medicine is true, it is also true to give the son-in-law a step down. As long as the son-in-law finishes his breakfast later, he will go upstairs by thanking His Highness for the medicine, and coax His Highness. That will surely reconcile as before, and that's what His Highness meant.
Cuizhu couldn't help changing her impression of Qiege, she never expected His Highness to be so thoughtful and take care of the son-in-law's feelings so much, fearing that the son-in-law would not save face.
Upstairs, Qingqian came out with a water basin, and was quite dissatisfied when she saw that Mu Xu still wanted to have breakfast, but His Highness’s attitude towards Mu Xu was completely different from others last night, if it was someone else, it would have killed her A hundred times, how could he tolerate Mu Xu's various presumptuous behaviors.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, and how can they not know Qingqian, even though she wanted to pour a basin of water on Mu Xu downstairs, but it was just thinking about it, she looked at Mu Xu again, then turned and left.
Mu Xu handed the porcelain spoon to her mouth, and was about to drink the porridge in the spoon, when she felt someone staring at her from behind, she looked back, and there was no one in the upstairs corridor except the diners behind her.
It must be because I think too much.
Mu Xu put down the bowl, and she looked at the fragrant steamed buns in the steamer. None of them moved, and she had no appetite. After a long time, she couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling, and even started to laugh at herself. , To think so much, even feeling wrong.
And who is the song, that is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Canglan, who is married to a man like General An, and the two of them are childhood sweethearts, so why would they avoid her and not go downstairs for breakfast just because she is a girl.
Soon, Mu Xu was surprised by herself, why did she have such an idea?
She shook her head hastily, trying to get out of her mind all the thoughts that shouldn't have appeared in her mind, and even trying to reduce the impact of this matter on herself, so that she felt that her heart was still with Jiang Huaisheng.
Jiang Huaisheng...
Thinking of the young man who grew up with her and said he wanted to marry her, Mu Xu's heart was full of warmth, and the unconcealed emotion in her eyes almost overflowed. Because of the emperor's promise, she knew that she and Jiang Huaisheng were married. They will definitely stay together for the rest of their lives, but it will take some time, just wait for General An to return to court, that day will always come.
Seeing that Mu Xu didn't eat anymore, Cui Zhu called Xiao Er and took away all the things on the table.
Mu Xu wanted to go out for a walk to refresh himself, but as soon as he stood up, more than a dozen government servants with knives and official uniforms rushed into the hall and surrounded Mu Xu.
The diners around all looked at Mu Xu, and cast sympathetic looks on him. They didn't know what this white-faced boy had done to provoke the servants to arrest him, while others had a look of sympathy. It's a good show.
Xu Yao saw Mu Xu from a long distance away, not to mention, the new imperial envoy was young, but he was really calm. Surrounded by people like this, not only did he not ask a question, but he also had an expression on his face Be calm and don't panic.
Wearing an official uniform, Xu Yao came from the yamen servants, and the common people in the house saluted him after seeing him.
Xu Yao stroked his beard, smiled very kindly, said, "Let's do it," and then stretched out his hand to help the nearby people up. If Mu Xu wasn't here, maybe he would have warmed up the people. Talk about homework.
The people who were lifted up looked at Xu Yao strangely, as if they had seen a ghost. Although they were terrified in their hearts, they never said anything. The officials are bigger than the people. No matter how much injustice there is, they still sweep the door Before the snow as well.
Xu Yao bowed his hand to Mu Xu, Mu Xu knew what he was going to do, and wanted to stop him, this was a private visit in a micro-service, and naturally he didn't want to expose it, but it was too late, Xu Yao said: "Your Excellency must be the imperial envoy, Mr. Mu Chuyuan, right? "
Xu Yao's attitude was very respectful and modest. Apart from exposing Mu Xu, there was nothing wrong with it. Xu Yao came here today to let the imperial envoy understand the people's sentiments and send this giant Buddha to him as soon as possible. Only by leaving can he continue to live his happy life.
As the saying goes, if you reach out and don't hit a smiling person, even though Mu Xu is extremely disgusted, he has to show a polite smile, and he cups his hands and says, "It's my servant, you must be Mr. Xu, right?"
Xu Yao laughed and said: "It's exactly, it's the next official, has Mr. Mu used some food?"
Mu Xu was very displeased with Xu Yao's deliberately flattering appearance, but he never showed it. I think this is probably the so-called common fault of local officials, right? !
"Thank you Master Xu for your concern. If Master Xu hasn't eaten, you can eat some here."
After Xu Yao politely declined, he sat down with Mu Xu and chatted for a while.
When it was almost Shen Shi, Mu Xu turned his head and looked upstairs, but he still didn't see the song coming out. Could it be that the song stopped, or he didn't even want to see her?
Mu Xu was distracted, and didn't realize that since she woke up, she thought about singing more times than Jiang Huaisheng.
Xu Yao is also an old fox, so he knows how to read people's hearts, otherwise he would not be valued by Prime Minister Zuo An Zhengliang. During the conversation with Mu Xu, Mu Xu always looked upstairs from time to time, and remembered what happened in Chunhualou last night thing.
I'm afraid Mr. Mu is worried that his wife is still annoyed? !
However, those who dare to bring guards to the brothel to get their husbands are also fierce-tempered, he likes it!
Xu Yao put away his thoughts, and his attitude was still modest and polite, "Lord Mu, I am here today to invite you to take a look at the hustle and bustle of Suzhou City, so that you and your wife can get to know Suzhou better, and this trip is worthwhile. "
Mu Xu glanced at Xu Yao, saw that he was sticking out like a woman's pregnant belly in October, and then thought of the unconscionable things he did behind his back, and said without changing his face: "Master Xu, please wait a moment." For a moment, let me clean up, there are many beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, I want to see them all when I come here this time."
Mu Xu wanted to invite Qiege herself, but because of what happened last night, she didn't dare to come forward, and besides, Qiege didn't want to see her, so she asked Cuizhu to go upstairs to inform her.
Not long after, Cuizhu went downstairs, walked up to Mu Xu, looked at him again, and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing Cuizhu's expression of embarrassment, even though Mu Xu already knew the answer, he still asked, "What did Madam say?"
"The madam said to let the master go to watch it first. She is really tired today and wants to rest more."
Is he really tired, or does he not want to see her?
And since he is unwilling to sing, Mu Xu will not force it, because there has never been a man who brought two maids with him when he went out. Mu Xu was afraid that Xu Yao would see the clue, so he left the peach blossoms and green bamboos to serve and sing. He also ordered guard He to pick a few people to wait at the door.
After making the arrangements, Mu Xu said to Xu Yao: "Then Mr. Lao Xu will work hard to lead the way for Chuyuan."
Xu Yao unconsciously straightened his belly, and said with a flattering smile, "It's really an honor and a blessing for the lower officials and the people of Suzhou to be able to serve Master Mu."
Mu Xu smiled lightly and didn't say anything else. Although she still had some concerns in her heart, if she didn't go to Chunhualou last night, didn't get drunk, and didn't offend her and act recklessly against her, then she will be with her. Should be able to get along with it calmly.
Although she often annoyed and teased her, but this time it was her who came to "trick" him, which was even more extreme than what Qiage did, but it made Mu Xu feel mixed feelings.
Along the way, Mu Xu fell into deep thought, thinking about the little things that happened between her and Qiege.
Xu Yao was beside her eloquently introducing Suzhou. She didn't want to listen, but at a glance, she felt that the scene in front of her was indeed more lively than Chang'an City. It had only been a few months since she left Suzhou. They all wore happy smiles, but the smiles were too much, making people feel unreal.
If he hadn't known what kind of person Xu Yao was, and learned about the crimes committed by Xu Yao from Yang Hao, Mu Xu would really feel that Suzhou is peaceful at this moment.
Xu Yao spoke in such a way that his eyebrows were beaming, he was eloquent, and his spitting stars kept spraying out. Rather than saying that he was talking about Suzhou, it was more like introducing his great achievements. The more he talked, his face couldn't be restrained. If he knew that he had spent a long time talking, but Mu Xu didn't listen to a word, he would have to spit out a few mouthfuls of old blood.
Fortunately, Mu Xu came back to his senses at critical moments, and responded with a few words from time to time, which did not make Xu Yao unhappy.
At this time, Mu Xu heard a burst of crying, and she looked at the crying, and it turned out to be a little doll about two or three years old standing in the crowd, wiping tears and crying, while looking around, as if is looking for someone.
Could it be that he got lost?
Mu Xu walked towards the little doll, but Xu Yao beside her was faster than her. He squatted down, tilted his head forward, looked at the little doll with a smile on his face, and his voice was even more revealing. Caring, "Why is the little guy crying? But lost?"
The little baby stared blankly at Xu Yao, and the tears in his eyes fell down unconsciously.
Xu Yao picked up the little doll, his eyes were full of pity, "It's really pitiful, I don't know how the parents are, the child can be lost, if something unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret."
There was a sense of compassion in his tone. Although he was facing the little baby, it seemed more like he was speaking to Mu Xu on purpose.
How could Mu Xu not understand the next sentence, didn't he just want to say that he was lucky to meet him? !
Xu Yao said to the little baby again: "I'll send someone to take you home, how about finding your mother?"
The little doll was so obedient in Xu Yao's arms that she didn't dare to move, but when she heard the word "mother", the little doll finally reacted.
"Thank you, Lord Prefect!"
The little baby's voice was very loud, as if he had exhausted all his strength before he said this sentence.
Mu Xu, who was on the side, watched quietly, and also noticed that the whole body of the little doll was trembling. Looking at the fake smile on Xu Yao's face, this scene seemed to be watching a funny and ironic puppet show.
Xu Yao handed the little doll to the policeman at the side, the worry in his eyes gradually increased, and he strongly urged him to send it home.
"Master Xu is able to treat the people like their own children with a compassionate heart, which is really a blessing for the people."
Xu Yao was just acting, and didn't expect Mu Xu to speak out to praise him. He didn't expect Mu Xu to be so active. To live up to the trust of the sage and the expectations of the people, the subordinate officials have only fulfilled the responsibility of a prefect, which is nothing to worry about, let alone the people are the foundation of the country."
After Xu Yao finished speaking, he paused, and continued: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid that Mr. Mu will make fun of me, I just want to let the people in Suzhou City live a stable and happy life in my lifetime."
Xu Yao's tone was a little excited, his eyes were full of sincerity, and every sentence seemed to be spoken from the bottom of his heart.
stable?
With Xu Yao around, how can the people of Suzhou City be safe?Happy?
Mu Xu cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu's words today made Chu Yuan deeply admired. In comparison, Chu Yuan felt ashamed."
Xu Yao became more and more complacent, but said more modestly: "Master Mu, don't make fun of being an official. Since His Majesty sent Mr. Mu to Suzhou, he must have won His Majesty's trust. Mr. Mu has a bright future, so there is no way a lower official can compare. "
These words were just to test her, how could Mu Xu get in so stupidly, but she just pretended to be stupid and just fooled her like that.
Along the way, Mu Xu saw not only the beautiful scenery of Suzhou City, but also every few steps, someone would come forward to thank Xu Yao, but Xu Yao pretended to be humble, and reluctantly accepted it after a few times of evasion.
Let’s say that Xu Yao is a shrewd person, but he does things so stupidly. How many people would come to thank the magistrate in droves? As long as you have a brain, if you think about it for a while, you will know that it is just a show; but if you want to say that he is really stupid, then why did he scrape off so many people's fat and anointing, and he didn't leave any favorable grounds.
In ancient times, Zhao Gao pointed out that a deer is a horse, but now Xu Yao puts on a show to test it out.
What Mu Xu didn't know was that Xu Yao deliberately made these tricks full of flaws, just to see if Mu Xu would expose him, or would accompany him to perform the show.
Mu Xu didn't show any disdain, but occasionally gave a few polite compliments.
This aroused Xu Yao's suspicions. If Mu Xu directly exposes him and reprimands him, it means that he is an upright person. Then he has his own way to deal with her, but Mu Xu doesn't, and I don't know if she did it on purpose. , or he was just the same kind of person.
Mu Xu and his party walked from another street to Shantang Street. There are various stalls here, embroidery, jewelry and tea houses. Although they are all gathered together, they look messy but not chaotic.
Mu Xu wondered if he should buy some gadgets to give to Qisong, and it would all be an apology.
But after looking at these things carefully, there is no way to get rid of them, and Gegui is the eldest princess, and the things she uses and wear are all high-quality, how can these things compare to them.
Mu Xu smiled wryly, she never thought that she would have a day of coaxing people, and the target of coaxing is still the current Princess Princess, but who made her drunk and messed up, so frivolous and singing.
"Lord Mu?"
Mu Xu was so engrossed in her thoughts that she never heard Xu Yao calling her.
"Lord Mu?"
"Lord Mu!"
Xu Yao called several times in succession, but he finally brought Mu Xu back to his senses.
Mu Xu looked at Xu Yao, but didn't want to meet his eyes. For a moment, Mu Xu felt extremely uncomfortable. She lowered her eyebrows slightly, and then looked away.
In Xu Yao's view, Mu Xu's lowered eyebrows, if he was given a handkerchief, or smiled again, he would look like a woman.
Xu Yao thought so, and began to observe Mu Xu carefully. Not to mention, Master Mu really looks like a woman, and her body is also fragile, as if she would fall down if pushed, I'm afraid the brothel The rabbits in the movie are more masculine than her. If it weren't for his Adam's apple, he would really think it was a woman pretending.
Xu Yaodao: "Master Mu, just now the master sent someone to inform the lower officials that there is something important in the yamen that the lower officials need to go back to deal with."
Mu Xu said: "Master Xu, come back quickly, business is important."
"Then the official will be excused."
Mu Xu nodded, "Go."
Xu Yao raised his foot and took a step, then turned back, "There are mixed fish and dragons here, why don't the officials leave a few arresters to protect Lord Mu?!"
Mu Xu looked at the group of vicious policemen behind Xu Yao, they didn't look like they were trying to protect her, but more like they were watching her every move.
"Thank you, Lord Xu, for your kindness. I have some guards by my side. You don't have to worry about Lord Xu. You should go back quickly, the business is important!"
Mu Xu refused so clearly, but Xu Yao was determined, "Master Mu said that the lower officials did not question the abilities of He Huwei and others, but that the adults did not know something. Although Suzhou is a peaceful scene, , it is inevitable that there will be no gangsters specifically targeting a noble family like you. I heard that Mr. Mu and his wife are deeply in love. Madam's heart? Furthermore, more arrests should be made to Mr. Mu to prevent unnecessary accidents, and the next official will also be able to explain to the court at that time."
Although Mu Xu didn't want to be watched, Xu Yao even moved out from the court, so she couldn't get rid of it no matter what, so she had no choice but to agree: "Even so, Chu Yuan would like to thank Mr. Xu for his kindness."
Seeing that he agreed, Xu Yao clapped his hands to the person behind him, and said: "Gou is not good, you grew up in Gusu, and this time, I will accompany Mr. Mu to watch the rest of the beautiful scenery. You must not slack off, and you must Protect Lord Mu's safety."
Gou Li smiled immediately, "Don't worry, my lord, the villain was born and raised here, so he is familiar with all the places, and I will definitely make Lord Mu come back with a lot of fun."
Hearing this, Xu Yao turned and left in satisfaction.
Mu Xu followed Gou Li, and the voice of his introduction kept coming from his ears. Xu Yao was not there, and Mu Xu didn't bother to perfunctory, his eyes turned around on the small bridge and flowing water.
Gou Li is the best at flattering people, and after a lot of flattery, Mu Xu didn't see any other reaction, so he had to change the topic that men would be interested in. , but the youth in the flower wine is not inferior to any brothel Chuguan."
I thought it would arouse Mu Xu's interest, but Mu Xu was even more disgusted when he heard it, "I can't drink too much, if you don't want to lead the way, then just go back."
Although Gou Li is young, he has gone to the brothel many times. I wonder if there is any man in the world who is not lustful. In his eyes, Mu Xu's reservedness is just a show. Besides, his wife was looking for someone in the brothel yesterday. It was a big commotion, even though other people didn't know who they were, everyone around Mr. Xu knew.
Gou Bu looked at Mu Xu with an expression that everyone understood, "If Mr. Mu is afraid that Madam will find out, you can wait until late at night...the villain will take you to 'visit'."
Mu Xuliu frowned slightly, took a look at him, and walked away.
Gou Li knew that he had said something wrong, so he hurried to catch up, his face full of panic, "Lord Mu, it's all my fault for the little one, the little one shouldn't talk too much! You shouldn't talk too much!" A palm, or rather a touch, the moment the hand touched the face, I didn't even hear a sound.
Gou Buli kept begging for mercy, but Mu Xu didn't respond for a long time, and fearing that he would be annoyed, he simply became cruel, and couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand, but he really slapped himself a few times, and at the same time He even hated Mu Xu. He thought he was just a brat who was easy to fool, but he didn't expect that he was a rotten piece of wood that was difficult to deal with!
Mu Xu stopped by the lake, she stood there quietly, the breeze brushed her face, blowing her hair, and then saw a willow tree standing beside her, for some reason, she looked at it in a daze for a long time.
willow....
Gou Li looked at Mu Xu and saw that he had something on his mind, so he guessed that the reason why he resisted going to the brothel was because he was afraid of internal affairs, right? !
In the evening when the sun was setting on the western mountain, Suzhou City looked like a quiet town dyed by colorful clouds. Mu Xu went back to the inn under the escort of the police and guards. Seeing that he arrived safely, Gou Li and others also went back to report to Xu Yao. .
Today, I only walked a few streets and watched the tourists go boating on the lake. Mu Xu felt more tired than the previous few days of driving. I think it was because of her mood and the people who accompanied her, but she didn't expect anything. in the eyes.
After Mu Xu returned to the room, Cuizhu brought out the hot water that had been prepared and waited for him to wash.
Mu Xu took Taohua and handed over a face towel to wash his face, "Your Highness today..."
In the middle of talking, Mu Xu stopped suddenly, and didn't know how to continue. She was the one who was frivolous and sang, so from what angle should she care?Furthermore, is she qualified?
Taohua didn't have Mu Xu's worries, she just knew it was a good time, so she quickly replied: "Your Highness hasn't been out of the room all day, and for some reason, he hasn't even had lunch."
Mu Xu frowned when he heard the sound, didn't even eat lunch?
And why does Song annoy her so much?
But no matter how much you annoy her, there's no need to torment yourself
Mu Xu opened her eyes, only feeling a splitting headache. She frowned tightly, sat up with the support of the bed, and inadvertently glanced at the clothes she was wearing. It wasn't the one from yesterday. What happened last night?
Mu Xu thought about it carefully, and only remembered that he was entangled with Yang Hao and the Qiluo girl, and was forced to drink a lot of wine.
Yes... Girl Qiluo! ! !
Could it be that she spent the night in Chunhua Tower?
Mu Xu was shocked, and got out of bed without even thinking about putting on her shoes, but she didn't want her head to start hurting because of her too violent movements, but at this time, she couldn't care less.
As soon as she opened the door and rushed out, she bumped into Taohua who was about to knock on the door.
"oops--"
Tao Hua took a step back from the collision, and Mu Xu didn't feel better either. Last night's hangover and the collision made her feel like her whole body was about to fall apart.
Seeing that the person he bumped into was Mu Xu, Tao Hua hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "My son-in-law, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Looking down and seeing Mu Xu's bare feet again, Tao Hua worried: "How come you don't even wear shoes? What if the son-in-law catches a cold? Let me help you to bed."
Mu Xu nodded, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a false alarm. It turned out to be in the inn, not Chunhualou.
Taohua supported Mu Xu to sit on the edge of the bed, and then wrung out the face towel in the basin and handed it to Mu Xu. While washing her face, Mu Xu felt her head hurt more and more. As if it came from the back of her head, she reached out and touched it.
"呲-"
Mu Xu suffered from pain, and a big lump swelled up on the back of her head!
It seems to have hit it somewhere, but when she thinks about it carefully, she can't remember it.
Mu Xu frowned, and asked Taohua standing beside him, "Taohua, do you know what happened last night?"
After Mu Xu finished speaking, he patted his aching head again, "Why does my head hurt so much?"
This is really a question to Taohua, last night His Highness was in the room with the Prince Consort, and the three of them were downstairs, so how could she know what happened to them, but she was sure that the Prince Consort must have annoyed His Highness, Why not, when she and Cui Zhu went upstairs, she saw His Highness returning to the room angrily, and after entering the room, she saw the son-in-law lying on the bed, although he was fast asleep, his whole body was wet, and there was an empty space on the ground. birdbath.
Probably the only one who knows the truth is Qingqian. After all, Qingqian is ahead of them all in the room, but Qingqian has always been the most stern-mouthed, so they can't catch up with her.
Taohua said: "Last night, Your Highness took the guards to Chunhua Tower to look for the son-in-law, and then brought him back, and even took care of the son-in-law himself when the slaves went to fetch water. As for why the son-in-law has a headache. ...This...the servants don't know, maybe it's because of the wine?"
In the last sentence, even Taohua didn't have any confidence, and her voice was not the same as before, it became even softer.
Although Mu Xu has just woken up, she may not be sober, but she is not a fool, she will be bluffed when she says she is bluffed, and drinking will make the back of her head swell?
If you say this, someone has to believe it!
At this time, Cuizhu came in, holding a small medicine bottle in her hand, she said: "My son-in-law, you are awake, this slave girl will give me medicine now."
One said that he didn't know what happened last night, and the other had medicine in his hand, and was going to give her medicine as soon as he saw her, as if he knew she was kowtowing.
There must be something wrong with this!
Mu Xu asked, "Medicine?"
Cuizhu was smiling at first, but Mu Xu's eyes were staring at her so that she felt panicked, and she didn't know why the son-in-law looked at her like this, and was about to speak, but saw Taohua blinking at her continuously, and even more so in his sleeves. Stretch out a finger, why is the direction of the finger so similar to the small medicine bottle in her hand? !
Cuizhu suddenly realized, that's right, she just saw the son-in-law and took the medicine, if the son-in-law didn't say anything, how would others know that the son-in-law hurt the back of his head, besides, she didn't serve the son-in-law at that time How did she know that Grandpa washes up?
No matter how she explained it, she was trying to cover it up. Seeing that the matter was exposed, Cui Zhu could only tell the truth, "It was given to the servant girl in a simple way, and it was said that the son-in-law accidentally knocked the back of his head on the edge of the bed last night. His Highness was afraid that the son-in-law would I feel very uncomfortable today, so I sent this medicine and asked my slaves to apply it to the son-in-law."
Cuizhu's face was not red when she told a lie, although she asked Qingqian about the reason, Qingqian never said such things, but Qingqian always only did what His Highness ordered, since she brought the medicine, she wanted to come His Highness also cares about the Son-in-law, so it is not an exaggeration for her to tell the Son-in-law all the unspoken words for His Highness.
Mu Xu turned her head and looked at the edge of the bed, did she knock on it by accident?
Although she knew the truth, why did she always feel that things were not as simple as Cuizhu said?
"Maidservant give medicine to the son-in-law."
Standing behind Cui Zhu and Mu Xu, she pushed aside Mu Xu's hair, and saw a red and swollen part of the back of his head from the gap between the hair roots, and her heart ached, "My son-in-law, taking the medicine will hurt, you can bear it." point."
"Ah."
Although Cuizhu's movements were very light, it still hurt a little. Although Mu Xu frowned, it was not unbearable.
Mu Xu wanted to inquire about what happened last night, so he said, "I wasn't wearing this dress yesterday."
Cuizhu replied: "The son-in-law came back from Chunhua Tower last night, his clothes were stained with alcohol, so the servants and servants changed them for the son-in-law."
Although the two of them didn't see His Highness pouring a basin of water on the son-in-law, they were inseparable. If she told the truth, it would only deepen the gap between His Highness and the son-in-law. Besides, she's not short-sighted.
Mu Xu said: "So that's the case, did His Highness come here last night?"
The love life is not good, didn't she tell the son-in-law about this, why did the son-in-law ask?
Could it be that there is fraud in it?
Peach Blossom was so clever once in a while, she hurriedly winked at Cui Zhu, but Cui Zhu only wanted to increase the distance between the son-in-law and His Highness, so she didn't care about Peach Blossom.
Cuizhu replied: "I have been here, His Highness has been taking care of the son-in-law in the house, the servants and maidservants dare not disturb, seeing His Highness stayed for a long time before leaving."
"Then did I behave rudely to His Highness because I was drunk last night?"
Mu Xu asked such a series of questions that Tao Hua Cui Zhu didn't know how to answer them. If he hadn't acted rudely, why did His Highness pour a basin of water on the son-in-law? If he hadn't acted rudely, His Highness replied Why are you so angry when you are in the room? !
But can they tell the truth?
Of course not!
Cuizhu's face showed embarrassment, and she didn't know how to answer. If she said no, and the son-in-law asked this question, then she must have discovered something, and how should she make it up?
Mu Xu could hear clearly, what Cui Zhu said just now was seeing and singing for a long time before leaving, since seeing him, then the two of them must know something about the truth, and said: "When Your Highness left, how did you feel? Did you say anything?"
Cuizhu suddenly understood, and immediately understood that the son-in-law was so thoughtful, he had set her up unconsciously? !
After sitting for such a long time, Mu Xu was a little awake. She just felt that she had a long dream last night, in which she was there and she was singing.
In the dream, she even kissed and sang...
Recalling the kiss in the dream, the face that was so close to the song, her breath, and the faint sandalwood on her body, all made Mu Xu's face gradually become hot. Washing her face with a towel to suppress the blush on her face, just as her fingertips touched the water, Cui Zhu, who was behind her applying the medicine, was lost in thought and hurt her when she touched it.
"呲-"
Mu Xu withdrew her hand in pain, and because of her action, she accidentally touched the water basin, and before the green bamboo on the side could catch it, the water basin fell to the ground.
"Bangdang-"
Mu Xu was splashed with water, and the bang sound was like a magic sound, and the singing sentence echoed in his ears again - son-in-law, are you awake?
Taohua was in a hurry, she didn't think deeply about what she said, she just said: "How could the son-in-law wet the clothes again, Taohua will take the clothes for you, don't catch a cold."
What Cui Zhu said at that time was that she changed her clothes last night because she smelled of alcohol, but Tao Hua said that she got wet again.
Cui Zhu, who was squatting to wipe the water stains on Mu Xu's body, raised her eyes, but met Mu Xu's eyes when she didn't want to.
Mu Xu's eyes were fixed on the green bamboo who bowed her head, what she said was really not true!
Mu Xu shifted her gaze to her clothes. She got wet last night. If she was not careful, it would be impossible for Cuizhu and Peach Blossom to hide it like this. After all, it is not a big deal, but they just hid it , I think it must be related to Qige.
But why did Gege pour water on her?
If you think of that sentence—consort, are you awake?
Then everything became clear, could it be.... What more extreme behavior did she do to Qiege?
If it's an excessive move, then it's just a forced kiss and song. Could it be that she wanted to force the tyrant to bow her head last night, and Qi Ge poured a basin of water on her in order to stop her?
Mu Xu was shocked by her own thoughts, and even more surprised that she was such a jerk when she was drunk, and she was frivolous and singing, but how could she want to have a physical relationship with Qi Ge!
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! ! !
Although she tried her best to deny and clear it up in her heart, she hoped that someone would stand up and tell her that what she just thought was not true, even though the more she thought about that dream, the more it seemed very real to her. On her nearest emerald bamboo.
Cuizhu knew that this matter could not be concealed, so she had no choice but to tell all she knew, "The servant waited downstairs with Taohua last night, never approached the room, not long after Qingqian went upstairs, I heard There was movement in the house, after the servants and servants went upstairs, they saw His Highness coming out of the room, although there was anger on his face, but he didn't say anything, the servants and servants were afraid that the son-in-law might be drunk and confused, After offending His Highness, after entering the room, they found that the son-in-law was lying on the bed, but his whole body was drenched, and there was an empty water basin on the ground. The servants and servants were afraid that the son-in-law would catch cold, so they took the clothes of the son-in-law. It was replaced."
After Cui Zhu finished speaking, she knelt on the ground with Tao Hua again, "The servants and servants failed to tell the truth to the son-in-law because they were afraid that the conflict between the son-in-law and His Highness would deepen, but it is true that His Highness guarded and took care of the son-in-law last night. It is also true that life is pure and simple, and I hope that no matter what the son-in-law did when he was drunk yesterday, he will never let down His Highness's sincerity! And the servant and maid knew that they had committed a crime and deceived the son-in-law, so they were willing to be punished. I beg the son-in-law to punish me severely!"
Tao Hua followed and said, "I beg my son-in-law to punish me severely!"
Mu Xu pondered for a long time after hearing this, no wonder, if it was as Cui Zhu said, then everything would make sense.
But she still couldn't believe it, she and Qiege were both women, how could she...and how could she do such things to Qiege.
Mu Xu's original intention was to know the truth, and he never thought of punishing them, so he said, "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you two, get up."
"Thank you, Concubine!"
After Mu Xu changed her clothes, she sat on the chair all the time, not daring to leave the door. If she went out, what if she bumped into Qige?
How should she face Qige, as long as she thinks of that kiss, an indescribable sense of shame surges in her heart.
Seeing Mu Xu sitting still, Cuizhu said: "My lord, the breakfast is ready, do you need Cuizhu to bring it up?"
"No need."
As soon as Mu Xu got up, he sat down again, with an uneasy expression on his face, and asked, "Your Highness...can she have breakfast?"
"His Royal Highness's breakfast has been brought back to the room Qingqian." After Cuizhu finished speaking, she seemed to guess what Mu Xu was thinking, and said again: "Maybe I won't come down."
Cui Zhu's words did not make Mu Xu feel more at ease, on the contrary, he became more and more cranky, and Ge didn't want to see her?
Thinking about it, she treated Qige so disrespectfully, which would be annoying to any woman, let alone that person who is Qige? !
It would have been preferential treatment before her head fell to the ground.
It's just that she couldn't imagine how dignified and elegant Qige was in what mood he poured that basin of water on her, what kind of eyes he looked at her, and how unbearable she was when she was drunk.
Even though Mu Xu desperately wanted to know the answer, no one could tell her, and Ge Ge could answer her, but she would not ask, let alone speak, so she could only let herself think wildly.
Mu Xu sighed lightly, and since the song didn't come down, she was less embarrassed. She got up and went downstairs, peach blossoms and green bamboos followed closely behind her.
Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of porridge and a small steamed bun.
Mu Xu was hungover and was thinking about what happened last night. He didn't have any appetite, so he took a few sips.
The people around saw Mu Xu's elegant appearance, elegant appearance and elegant demeanor. They couldn't help looking at them for a long time without closing their eyes. Mu Xu naturally didn't care about the eyes of these people. Others are looking at her.
Cui Zhu stood behind Mu Xu, unlike Mu Xu, she was not worried about His Highness, what happened last night was not that serious, His Highness was angry, but asked Qingqian to deliver medicine early in the morning, what does that mean?
Doesn't it mean that His Highness has a son-in-law in his heart? !
From her point of view, although the care of donating the medicine is true, it is also true to give the son-in-law a step down. As long as the son-in-law finishes his breakfast later, he will go upstairs by thanking His Highness for the medicine, and coax His Highness. That will surely reconcile as before, and that's what His Highness meant.
Cuizhu couldn't help changing her impression of Qiege, she never expected His Highness to be so thoughtful and take care of the son-in-law's feelings so much, fearing that the son-in-law would not save face.
Upstairs, Qingqian came out with a water basin, and was quite dissatisfied when she saw that Mu Xu still wanted to have breakfast, but His Highness’s attitude towards Mu Xu was completely different from others last night, if it was someone else, it would have killed her A hundred times, how could he tolerate Mu Xu's various presumptuous behaviors.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, and how can they not know Qingqian, even though she wanted to pour a basin of water on Mu Xu downstairs, but it was just thinking about it, she looked at Mu Xu again, then turned and left.
Mu Xu handed the porcelain spoon to her mouth, and was about to drink the porridge in the spoon, when she felt someone staring at her from behind, she looked back, and there was no one in the upstairs corridor except the diners behind her.
It must be because I think too much.
Mu Xu put down the bowl, and she looked at the fragrant steamed buns in the steamer. None of them moved, and she had no appetite. After a long time, she couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling, and even started to laugh at herself. , To think so much, even feeling wrong.
And who is the song, that is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Canglan, who is married to a man like General An, and the two of them are childhood sweethearts, so why would they avoid her and not go downstairs for breakfast just because she is a girl.
Soon, Mu Xu was surprised by herself, why did she have such an idea?
She shook her head hastily, trying to get out of her mind all the thoughts that shouldn't have appeared in her mind, and even trying to reduce the impact of this matter on herself, so that she felt that her heart was still with Jiang Huaisheng.
Jiang Huaisheng...
Thinking of the young man who grew up with her and said he wanted to marry her, Mu Xu's heart was full of warmth, and the unconcealed emotion in her eyes almost overflowed. Because of the emperor's promise, she knew that she and Jiang Huaisheng were married. They will definitely stay together for the rest of their lives, but it will take some time, just wait for General An to return to court, that day will always come.
Seeing that Mu Xu didn't eat anymore, Cui Zhu called Xiao Er and took away all the things on the table.
Mu Xu wanted to go out for a walk to refresh himself, but as soon as he stood up, more than a dozen government servants with knives and official uniforms rushed into the hall and surrounded Mu Xu.
The diners around all looked at Mu Xu, and cast sympathetic looks on him. They didn't know what this white-faced boy had done to provoke the servants to arrest him, while others had a look of sympathy. It's a good show.
Xu Yao saw Mu Xu from a long distance away, not to mention, the new imperial envoy was young, but he was really calm. Surrounded by people like this, not only did he not ask a question, but he also had an expression on his face Be calm and don't panic.
Wearing an official uniform, Xu Yao came from the yamen servants, and the common people in the house saluted him after seeing him.
Xu Yao stroked his beard, smiled very kindly, said, "Let's do it," and then stretched out his hand to help the nearby people up. If Mu Xu wasn't here, maybe he would have warmed up the people. Talk about homework.
The people who were lifted up looked at Xu Yao strangely, as if they had seen a ghost. Although they were terrified in their hearts, they never said anything. The officials are bigger than the people. No matter how much injustice there is, they still sweep the door Before the snow as well.
Xu Yao bowed his hand to Mu Xu, Mu Xu knew what he was going to do, and wanted to stop him, this was a private visit in a micro-service, and naturally he didn't want to expose it, but it was too late, Xu Yao said: "Your Excellency must be the imperial envoy, Mr. Mu Chuyuan, right? "
Xu Yao's attitude was very respectful and modest. Apart from exposing Mu Xu, there was nothing wrong with it. Xu Yao came here today to let the imperial envoy understand the people's sentiments and send this giant Buddha to him as soon as possible. Only by leaving can he continue to live his happy life.
As the saying goes, if you reach out and don't hit a smiling person, even though Mu Xu is extremely disgusted, he has to show a polite smile, and he cups his hands and says, "It's my servant, you must be Mr. Xu, right?"
Xu Yao laughed and said: "It's exactly, it's the next official, has Mr. Mu used some food?"
Mu Xu was very displeased with Xu Yao's deliberately flattering appearance, but he never showed it. I think this is probably the so-called common fault of local officials, right? !
"Thank you Master Xu for your concern. If Master Xu hasn't eaten, you can eat some here."
After Xu Yao politely declined, he sat down with Mu Xu and chatted for a while.
When it was almost Shen Shi, Mu Xu turned his head and looked upstairs, but he still didn't see the song coming out. Could it be that the song stopped, or he didn't even want to see her?
Mu Xu was distracted, and didn't realize that since she woke up, she thought about singing more times than Jiang Huaisheng.
Xu Yao is also an old fox, so he knows how to read people's hearts, otherwise he would not be valued by Prime Minister Zuo An Zhengliang. During the conversation with Mu Xu, Mu Xu always looked upstairs from time to time, and remembered what happened in Chunhualou last night thing.
I'm afraid Mr. Mu is worried that his wife is still annoyed? !
However, those who dare to bring guards to the brothel to get their husbands are also fierce-tempered, he likes it!
Xu Yao put away his thoughts, and his attitude was still modest and polite, "Lord Mu, I am here today to invite you to take a look at the hustle and bustle of Suzhou City, so that you and your wife can get to know Suzhou better, and this trip is worthwhile. "
Mu Xu glanced at Xu Yao, saw that he was sticking out like a woman's pregnant belly in October, and then thought of the unconscionable things he did behind his back, and said without changing his face: "Master Xu, please wait a moment." For a moment, let me clean up, there are many beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, I want to see them all when I come here this time."
Mu Xu wanted to invite Qiege herself, but because of what happened last night, she didn't dare to come forward, and besides, Qiege didn't want to see her, so she asked Cuizhu to go upstairs to inform her.
Not long after, Cuizhu went downstairs, walked up to Mu Xu, looked at him again, and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing Cuizhu's expression of embarrassment, even though Mu Xu already knew the answer, he still asked, "What did Madam say?"
"The madam said to let the master go to watch it first. She is really tired today and wants to rest more."
Is he really tired, or does he not want to see her?
And since he is unwilling to sing, Mu Xu will not force it, because there has never been a man who brought two maids with him when he went out. Mu Xu was afraid that Xu Yao would see the clue, so he left the peach blossoms and green bamboos to serve and sing. He also ordered guard He to pick a few people to wait at the door.
After making the arrangements, Mu Xu said to Xu Yao: "Then Mr. Lao Xu will work hard to lead the way for Chuyuan."
Xu Yao unconsciously straightened his belly, and said with a flattering smile, "It's really an honor and a blessing for the lower officials and the people of Suzhou to be able to serve Master Mu."
Mu Xu smiled lightly and didn't say anything else. Although she still had some concerns in her heart, if she didn't go to Chunhualou last night, didn't get drunk, and didn't offend her and act recklessly against her, then she will be with her. Should be able to get along with it calmly.
Although she often annoyed and teased her, but this time it was her who came to "trick" him, which was even more extreme than what Qiage did, but it made Mu Xu feel mixed feelings.
Along the way, Mu Xu fell into deep thought, thinking about the little things that happened between her and Qiege.
Xu Yao was beside her eloquently introducing Suzhou. She didn't want to listen, but at a glance, she felt that the scene in front of her was indeed more lively than Chang'an City. It had only been a few months since she left Suzhou. They all wore happy smiles, but the smiles were too much, making people feel unreal.
If he hadn't known what kind of person Xu Yao was, and learned about the crimes committed by Xu Yao from Yang Hao, Mu Xu would really feel that Suzhou is peaceful at this moment.
Xu Yao spoke in such a way that his eyebrows were beaming, he was eloquent, and his spitting stars kept spraying out. Rather than saying that he was talking about Suzhou, it was more like introducing his great achievements. The more he talked, his face couldn't be restrained. If he knew that he had spent a long time talking, but Mu Xu didn't listen to a word, he would have to spit out a few mouthfuls of old blood.
Fortunately, Mu Xu came back to his senses at critical moments, and responded with a few words from time to time, which did not make Xu Yao unhappy.
At this time, Mu Xu heard a burst of crying, and she looked at the crying, and it turned out to be a little doll about two or three years old standing in the crowd, wiping tears and crying, while looking around, as if is looking for someone.
Could it be that he got lost?
Mu Xu walked towards the little doll, but Xu Yao beside her was faster than her. He squatted down, tilted his head forward, looked at the little doll with a smile on his face, and his voice was even more revealing. Caring, "Why is the little guy crying? But lost?"
The little baby stared blankly at Xu Yao, and the tears in his eyes fell down unconsciously.
Xu Yao picked up the little doll, his eyes were full of pity, "It's really pitiful, I don't know how the parents are, the child can be lost, if something unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret."
There was a sense of compassion in his tone. Although he was facing the little baby, it seemed more like he was speaking to Mu Xu on purpose.
How could Mu Xu not understand the next sentence, didn't he just want to say that he was lucky to meet him? !
Xu Yao said to the little baby again: "I'll send someone to take you home, how about finding your mother?"
The little doll was so obedient in Xu Yao's arms that she didn't dare to move, but when she heard the word "mother", the little doll finally reacted.
"Thank you, Lord Prefect!"
The little baby's voice was very loud, as if he had exhausted all his strength before he said this sentence.
Mu Xu, who was on the side, watched quietly, and also noticed that the whole body of the little doll was trembling. Looking at the fake smile on Xu Yao's face, this scene seemed to be watching a funny and ironic puppet show.
Xu Yao handed the little doll to the policeman at the side, the worry in his eyes gradually increased, and he strongly urged him to send it home.
"Master Xu is able to treat the people like their own children with a compassionate heart, which is really a blessing for the people."
Xu Yao was just acting, and didn't expect Mu Xu to speak out to praise him. He didn't expect Mu Xu to be so active. To live up to the trust of the sage and the expectations of the people, the subordinate officials have only fulfilled the responsibility of a prefect, which is nothing to worry about, let alone the people are the foundation of the country."
After Xu Yao finished speaking, he paused, and continued: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid that Mr. Mu will make fun of me, I just want to let the people in Suzhou City live a stable and happy life in my lifetime."
Xu Yao's tone was a little excited, his eyes were full of sincerity, and every sentence seemed to be spoken from the bottom of his heart.
stable?
With Xu Yao around, how can the people of Suzhou City be safe?Happy?
Mu Xu cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu's words today made Chu Yuan deeply admired. In comparison, Chu Yuan felt ashamed."
Xu Yao became more and more complacent, but said more modestly: "Master Mu, don't make fun of being an official. Since His Majesty sent Mr. Mu to Suzhou, he must have won His Majesty's trust. Mr. Mu has a bright future, so there is no way a lower official can compare. "
These words were just to test her, how could Mu Xu get in so stupidly, but she just pretended to be stupid and just fooled her like that.
Along the way, Mu Xu saw not only the beautiful scenery of Suzhou City, but also every few steps, someone would come forward to thank Xu Yao, but Xu Yao pretended to be humble, and reluctantly accepted it after a few times of evasion.
Let’s say that Xu Yao is a shrewd person, but he does things so stupidly. How many people would come to thank the magistrate in droves? As long as you have a brain, if you think about it for a while, you will know that it is just a show; but if you want to say that he is really stupid, then why did he scrape off so many people's fat and anointing, and he didn't leave any favorable grounds.
In ancient times, Zhao Gao pointed out that a deer is a horse, but now Xu Yao puts on a show to test it out.
What Mu Xu didn't know was that Xu Yao deliberately made these tricks full of flaws, just to see if Mu Xu would expose him, or would accompany him to perform the show.
Mu Xu didn't show any disdain, but occasionally gave a few polite compliments.
This aroused Xu Yao's suspicions. If Mu Xu directly exposes him and reprimands him, it means that he is an upright person. Then he has his own way to deal with her, but Mu Xu doesn't, and I don't know if she did it on purpose. , or he was just the same kind of person.
Mu Xu and his party walked from another street to Shantang Street. There are various stalls here, embroidery, jewelry and tea houses. Although they are all gathered together, they look messy but not chaotic.
Mu Xu wondered if he should buy some gadgets to give to Qisong, and it would all be an apology.
But after looking at these things carefully, there is no way to get rid of them, and Gegui is the eldest princess, and the things she uses and wear are all high-quality, how can these things compare to them.
Mu Xu smiled wryly, she never thought that she would have a day of coaxing people, and the target of coaxing is still the current Princess Princess, but who made her drunk and messed up, so frivolous and singing.
"Lord Mu?"
Mu Xu was so engrossed in her thoughts that she never heard Xu Yao calling her.
"Lord Mu?"
"Lord Mu!"
Xu Yao called several times in succession, but he finally brought Mu Xu back to his senses.
Mu Xu looked at Xu Yao, but didn't want to meet his eyes. For a moment, Mu Xu felt extremely uncomfortable. She lowered her eyebrows slightly, and then looked away.
In Xu Yao's view, Mu Xu's lowered eyebrows, if he was given a handkerchief, or smiled again, he would look like a woman.
Xu Yao thought so, and began to observe Mu Xu carefully. Not to mention, Master Mu really looks like a woman, and her body is also fragile, as if she would fall down if pushed, I'm afraid the brothel The rabbits in the movie are more masculine than her. If it weren't for his Adam's apple, he would really think it was a woman pretending.
Xu Yaodao: "Master Mu, just now the master sent someone to inform the lower officials that there is something important in the yamen that the lower officials need to go back to deal with."
Mu Xu said: "Master Xu, come back quickly, business is important."
"Then the official will be excused."
Mu Xu nodded, "Go."
Xu Yao raised his foot and took a step, then turned back, "There are mixed fish and dragons here, why don't the officials leave a few arresters to protect Lord Mu?!"
Mu Xu looked at the group of vicious policemen behind Xu Yao, they didn't look like they were trying to protect her, but more like they were watching her every move.
"Thank you, Lord Xu, for your kindness. I have some guards by my side. You don't have to worry about Lord Xu. You should go back quickly, the business is important!"
Mu Xu refused so clearly, but Xu Yao was determined, "Master Mu said that the lower officials did not question the abilities of He Huwei and others, but that the adults did not know something. Although Suzhou is a peaceful scene, , it is inevitable that there will be no gangsters specifically targeting a noble family like you. I heard that Mr. Mu and his wife are deeply in love. Madam's heart? Furthermore, more arrests should be made to Mr. Mu to prevent unnecessary accidents, and the next official will also be able to explain to the court at that time."
Although Mu Xu didn't want to be watched, Xu Yao even moved out from the court, so she couldn't get rid of it no matter what, so she had no choice but to agree: "Even so, Chu Yuan would like to thank Mr. Xu for his kindness."
Seeing that he agreed, Xu Yao clapped his hands to the person behind him, and said: "Gou is not good, you grew up in Gusu, and this time, I will accompany Mr. Mu to watch the rest of the beautiful scenery. You must not slack off, and you must Protect Lord Mu's safety."
Gou Li smiled immediately, "Don't worry, my lord, the villain was born and raised here, so he is familiar with all the places, and I will definitely make Lord Mu come back with a lot of fun."
Hearing this, Xu Yao turned and left in satisfaction.
Mu Xu followed Gou Li, and the voice of his introduction kept coming from his ears. Xu Yao was not there, and Mu Xu didn't bother to perfunctory, his eyes turned around on the small bridge and flowing water.
Gou Li is the best at flattering people, and after a lot of flattery, Mu Xu didn't see any other reaction, so he had to change the topic that men would be interested in. , but the youth in the flower wine is not inferior to any brothel Chuguan."
I thought it would arouse Mu Xu's interest, but Mu Xu was even more disgusted when he heard it, "I can't drink too much, if you don't want to lead the way, then just go back."
Although Gou Li is young, he has gone to the brothel many times. I wonder if there is any man in the world who is not lustful. In his eyes, Mu Xu's reservedness is just a show. Besides, his wife was looking for someone in the brothel yesterday. It was a big commotion, even though other people didn't know who they were, everyone around Mr. Xu knew.
Gou Bu looked at Mu Xu with an expression that everyone understood, "If Mr. Mu is afraid that Madam will find out, you can wait until late at night...the villain will take you to 'visit'."
Mu Xuliu frowned slightly, took a look at him, and walked away.
Gou Li knew that he had said something wrong, so he hurried to catch up, his face full of panic, "Lord Mu, it's all my fault for the little one, the little one shouldn't talk too much! You shouldn't talk too much!" A palm, or rather a touch, the moment the hand touched the face, I didn't even hear a sound.
Gou Buli kept begging for mercy, but Mu Xu didn't respond for a long time, and fearing that he would be annoyed, he simply became cruel, and couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand, but he really slapped himself a few times, and at the same time He even hated Mu Xu. He thought he was just a brat who was easy to fool, but he didn't expect that he was a rotten piece of wood that was difficult to deal with!
Mu Xu stopped by the lake, she stood there quietly, the breeze brushed her face, blowing her hair, and then saw a willow tree standing beside her, for some reason, she looked at it in a daze for a long time.
willow....
Gou Li looked at Mu Xu and saw that he had something on his mind, so he guessed that the reason why he resisted going to the brothel was because he was afraid of internal affairs, right? !
In the evening when the sun was setting on the western mountain, Suzhou City looked like a quiet town dyed by colorful clouds. Mu Xu went back to the inn under the escort of the police and guards. Seeing that he arrived safely, Gou Li and others also went back to report to Xu Yao. .
Today, I only walked a few streets and watched the tourists go boating on the lake. Mu Xu felt more tired than the previous few days of driving. I think it was because of her mood and the people who accompanied her, but she didn't expect anything. in the eyes.
After Mu Xu returned to the room, Cuizhu brought out the hot water that had been prepared and waited for him to wash.
Mu Xu took Taohua and handed over a face towel to wash his face, "Your Highness today..."
In the middle of talking, Mu Xu stopped suddenly, and didn't know how to continue. She was the one who was frivolous and sang, so from what angle should she care?Furthermore, is she qualified?
Taohua didn't have Mu Xu's worries, she just knew it was a good time, so she quickly replied: "Your Highness hasn't been out of the room all day, and for some reason, he hasn't even had lunch."
Mu Xu frowned when he heard the sound, didn't even eat lunch?
And why does Song annoy her so much?
But no matter how much you annoy her, there's no need to torment yourself
