Chang'an Ferry

After the dance, everyone applauded.

Wang Jiaojiao looked at Mu Yanying, but she couldn't see her expression behind the curtain, and she was a little disappointed.

The drum beat again, and this time the flowers were passed to a young master in a blue brocade robe, "Mr. Cao, it's your turn."

"Okay, I'll play a song for everyone, and I hope to teach you." Cao Chengyu cupped his hands.

The servants quickly brought up a piano, and Cao Chengyu started playing the piano after flicking it a few times. These people were all from rich and noble backgrounds, and they naturally knew how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so Cao Chengyu's piano sound was well received by everyone.

This time, the flower was passed to Lan Ruoruo's hands. Seeing this, everyone was curious, because Lan Ruoruo never participated in these games and what she liked was different from what ordinary boudoir girls liked.

Lan Ruoruo glanced at Mu Yuying, feeling a little nervous, but after thinking about it, the current head of the Mu family is a general, so there is nothing wrong with that, "I'll give you a sword dance, I'll just add to the fun! "

Sword Dance!Mu Yanying got a little more energetic, although there were sword dances in the palace, but the sword is a sharp weapon and dancing requires a good background, I don't know how Lan Ruoruo dances?

Standing up, picking, stabbing, jumping up, seeing that Lan Ruoruo is a master of the game, as soon as the dance is over, Lan Ruoruo's forehead is a little sweaty, but when she looked up, she saw Mu Yanying looking at her and clapping. All refreshed, he blinked at him and put away the sword and sat down.

"Ying Ying, Miss Lan winked at you just now, what do you think?" Du Mengmeng teased.

"I don't know" her ears were a little red, but fortunately there was a fence blocking it, and no one saw it, but suddenly felt that everyone was looking at her, and when Mu Yanying saw it, the flower fell in front of her by coincidence, "Master Mu, please"

The maid came over with a wine glass and put it down.

Mu Yanying looked at the wine glass, is she going to perform a pour by herself?

"My lord, there's water in it!" Chu Ping's voice was so low that only Mu Yanying could hear it. When Mu Yanying looked up, she saw Lan Ruoruo sticking out her tongue at her. She smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Sure enough, it was sweet. Yes, it is honey water.

"I don't know what Mr. Mu wants to perform?" Wang Lin asked.

"Mr. Cao has played the piano just now, so I'll use Xiao!" After Mu Yanying finished speaking, Du Mengmeng remembered that he didn't bring anything with him when he went out today.

Speaking of this, it is necessary to say that these aristocratic family gatherings, when they get together, they will not only show off their own status, but also learn their appearance, so usually when someone invites them, they will bring in advance the piano or other items that they are usually good at. In the palace, everyone in the imperial city knew that he was not in good health and was afraid that something would happen after he came here, so no one has ever invited him to any party, except for the time when he was preparing to go to the imperial examination, but that meeting everyone The purpose is to win the relationship, and they don't think about entertainment.

Lan Ruoyan was a fine person, he knew at a glance that Mu Yanying was unprepared, so he gave the servant a wink, and quickly came in with a handful of Xiao.

Mu Yanying also realized that she was not ready, nodded to Lan Ruoyan to thank, and began to play. This piece was taught by the queen, and she practiced it since she was a child, so Mu Yingying was familiar with it. When the song was over, everyone applauded. Applause!

"Mr. Mu's song is really sweet, we are so lucky!" Wang Lin flattered actively, followed by a series of compliments. Mu Yanying listened silently without speaking.

"Okay, let's continue!" Lan Ruoyan changed the subject.

I played other games for a while, but Mu Yanying didn't participate. If he didn't go, it's not good for others to keep inviting him, so he could only play by himself.

"Stay bored! Sit for a while, and we'll go back," Du Mengmeng said.

"Yeah." Looking at Jiang Yunling who was sleeping in Du Mengmeng's arms, "Auntie, do you need my help?"

"It's okay!" Du Mengmeng touched Jiang Yunling's back.

After staying for about a quarter of an hour, Du Mengmeng woke Jiang Yunling up, but the child still dozed off with half-closed eyes when he stood up. The young master bid farewell, let's go!"

"Um"

"Mrs. Jiang, Young Master Mu" Lan Ruoruo chased him out, "The fish that Young Master Mu caught just now is still here." Turning around, the servant had just crossed the threshold with a bucket, Lan Ruoruo was a little embarrassed, "Master Mu, brother Say this Xiao is very suitable for you, and I will give it to you." Offer Xiao in his hands with both hands.

"You don't get rewarded for your merits, Miss Lan should take it back!" Mu Yanying refused without hesitation.

Lan Ruoruo felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but she still had a smile on her face, "The so-called sword is given to a hero, no matter how good this thing is, it can only be of value in the hands of someone who cares, so please take it, Mr. Mu!"

"That's right! Yanying, just accept it!" Du Mengmeng said.

Now that Du Mengmeng had spoken, Mu Yanying took it over, "Thank you, in the future, when you arrive in the imperial city, you must go to the General's Mansion and let me do my best as landlords."

"Okay" Lan Ruoruo wished she could jump eight feet high on the spot, but she held back, but the smile on her face couldn't be stopped no matter what.

"Yuying also said that she didn't like Miss Lan, so she invited people to her home." Du Mengmeng laughed in the carriage.

"Beautiful brother, does anyone like someone?" Jiang Yunling asked in a daze.

Mu Yingying thought about the wording just now, how did her aunt think of it, "No, I just think that Mr. Lan is a good friend, and his family's cloth will be sent to the palace, and he should often come to the imperial city ,so……"

Du Mengmeng was originally joking, but when she heard this, she still shed tears for Lan Ruoruo. To be honest, she thought that girl was quite suitable for Mu Yingying. Forget it, each has its own fate!

"Uncle, I plan to go to Fuzhou tomorrow." In the evening, Mu Yiying came to Jiang Mingfeng's study and talked about her plan.

Jiang Mingfeng put down the pen in his hand, and stood up, "That's fine, you've been sick for two months since the Chinese New Year, and you haven't gone to the places you thought you could go, so it's fine to go out for fun at this time, but when do you plan to come back? Your grandmother's birthday at the end of June"

"When the time comes, I will come back with Yang Yang, and I will come back before my grandmother's birthday," Mu Yanying said.

"Okay." Jiang Mingfeng nodded, "By the way, did you tell grandma?"

"Go in a while!"

"Okay, is everything ready?" Jiang Mingfeng asked hastily, remembering this again.

"Ready!" Mu Yanying nodded.

"Well, okay, let's go! Your grandmother will tell you when the time comes." Jiang Mingfeng waved his hands away.

Mu Yingying saluted and then turned and left, walking towards Mrs. Jiang's yard, "Mr. Yiying" the maid stepped forward and saluted, "The old lady was still talking about you just now."

"Yeah" step in quickly, Mrs. Jiang is sewing something by candlelight?Seeing Mu Yanying, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, "Here comes Yiying, just right, I made a pair of insoles, come and see if you like it" and handed over the sole of the shoe in his hand.

"Grandmother!" Mu Yanying's nose felt a little astringent, "It looks good! It's comfortable to touch"

"That's good, you take it with you when you go out tomorrow, and wear it on the way," Mrs. Jiang said with a smile.

Mu Yanying was rarely surprised, "Grandma, do you know I'm going out?"

"Of course, before Yang Yang kept saying that he wanted you to cheer him up, and then you got sick, and now you're fine, I guess it's been a few days," Mrs. Jiang said.

"Well, I'll be back before grandma's birthday." Mu Yanying sat next to Mrs. Jiang and hugged her arm, acting like a baby.

"Look, how old you are, you're still like a child." Mrs. Jiang smiled happily.

"That's the son and wife getting close," the old nanny echoed.

Mrs. Jiang smiled for a while, and patted Mu Yanying's hand, "Then go back early and rest, and you have to get up early tomorrow."

"Um"

When she was waiting to go out the next day, the little girl Jiang Yunling cried so hard that she hugged Mu Yanying's leg and refused to let her go. In the end, Mu Yanying made a firm promise to bring all kinds of delicious food back and slowly stopped crying. "Why didn't I know Miss could cry like that before?"

Qing Shu and Chu Ping sat in the front room of the carriage and said.

"It didn't make her so sad on weekdays." Mu Yanying sat in the carriage, playing chess with herself.

"That's right." Qing Shu looked back at Mu Yanying, "My lord, do you want to drink water?"

"No need!" Mu Yanying shook her head, "It will take about five days to Fuzhou, but there is no rush on the way, you can take a rest if it suits you."

"Okay." Qing Shu nodded, and lowered the curtain to block the wind.

"Woo..." The carriage stopped suddenly, Mu Yuying jumped forward and was able to support her body in time, but those chess pieces were not so lucky, and rolled down on the thick blanket, "Qing Shu, what's going on?"

"Young Master Mu, it's me!" Lan Ruoruo ran forward, and while she was shaking her sleeves, she realized that she had suddenly appeared to cause trouble, "Are you all right?"

Qing Shu looked at Lan Ruoruo's eyes like a knife was flying, he lifted the curtain, "My lord, you didn't get hurt anywhere, did you?"

"It's okay." Lifted the curtain on the window, "Why is Miss Lan here?"

"I also want to go to Fuzhou, Mr. Mu, can you take me for a ride?" Lan Ruoruo's eyes were full of hope.

Mu Yanying looked at Lan Ruoruo, who was dressed lightly and carried a small bag on her back. No one around her just sneaked out without looking at her. She suddenly felt a headache, "Does your brother know?"

"I don't know." Lan Ruoruo was a little embarrassed, but this time she was going all out.

Mu Yanying sighed, "Come on!"

"Okay!" He quickly climbed into the carriage, and as soon as he entered, he saw chess pieces scattered all over the blanket, and he knew it was his masterpiece just now.

"Don't do this next time, if Qing Shu doesn't rein in the horse, the consequences will be disastrous." Mu Yanying is also afraid now, if something happens, she will blame herself for the rest of her life.

"No more." Lan Ruoruo picked up the chess pieces and answered seriously, this time she was really impulsive.

"Uncle Ping, have someone send a message to Mr. Lan to report his safety," Mu Yanying ordered.

"Yes" Chu Ping immediately took out a whistle and blew it, and a man in black jumped out of the forest.

"How long have you been waiting here?" The carriage continued to move forward, but looking at Lan Ruoruo's disheveled face, she must have eaten a lot of ashes here.

Lan Ruoruo put the chess cup away, "It will be here before dawn, I heard yesterday that you are going to Fuzhou, and you sneaked out early in the morning before dawn."

"I heard, who said that?" Mu Yanying felt that she should write a letter to her uncle asking him to straighten out the people in the house.

Lan Ruoruo scratched her hair, "I specially asked our servants to guard Jiang's house, and I just overheard it yesterday." Then, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Mu Yanying shook her head, and took out the snacks prepared by her aunt, "Eat it when you are hungry! But don't be so reckless next time, if something happens, your brother will have no relatives."

"Yeah..." Lan Ruoruo wiped her face with her sleeves, "I won't run around anymore." Thinking about it, she was indeed self-willed.

The thought of playing chess was interrupted, and Mu Yanying didn't want to play chess anymore, so she put away her things and took out the book to read "Landscape Travel Notes!" Lan Ruoruo looked at the cover of the book, "This is Mr. Ji Ting Yuanji My brother has been searching for a book for a long time, but he has not seen it.”

Mu Yanying smiled faintly, "Mr. Ji is my teacher"

"Really!" Lan Ruoruo was very surprised, "My brother likes Mr. Ji's landscape paintings very much, I wonder if Young Master Mu can help." He bowed his head and pointed at his fingers.

"The next time I write a letter to my husband, I will remember to tell him," Mu Yanying said, saying that since I received the letter years ago, I haven't heard from my husband for so long, and I don't know where to go to be free and easy. .

"Thank you! Hehe!" Lan Ruoruo was very happy, and inadvertently leaned closer to Mu Yuying, how could Mu Yingying not see that "Miss Lan is a little cold?"

ah!Lan Ruoruo was discouraged, so she simply sat down and ate the pastry in her hands depressed.

In the afternoon, Qing Shu found an inn and stopped, "My lord, I'll go and ask if there is any room first." Then he jumped down and ran into the inn.

"Master Mu, I'll book my room too," Lan Ruoruo said before going down.

"No need, as a girl, you can't let you spend money. I'll just hand you over to your brother when the time comes." Although Lan Ruoruo seemed to have some kung fu skills, Mu Yanying was still worried and decided to It's better to hand him over to Lan Ruoyan.

Lan Ruoruo also knew that she was causing trouble for Mu Yuying, but she was still a little excited in her heart, "Master Mu, let me help you get something!"

"My lord, the room has been booked," Qing Shu said outside.

"I don't have anything, let's go! Go ahead and have a rest." Putting the curtain on his head, he bent down and went out.

"Oh..." Lan Ruoruo hurriedly followed her out with her baggage.

"My lord, I'll go and prepare hot water for you right away." Qing Shu changed the quilt cover on the bed and made it up again, then turned his head and said to Mu Yanying.

"No need for now, you go to the cloth shop to buy two pieces of clothes for Miss Lan" Mu Yanying ordered, thinking that Lan Ruoruo had eaten on the side of the road for so long in the morning, and there was really something to see in the bag. It doesn't look like there is a change of clothes.

"My lord, why do you care about her!" Qing Shu was furious at the thought of Lan Ruoruo suddenly rushing out today.

Mu Yanying parted her hair, "Okay, let's go,"

"Yes" Qing Shu moved his head slightly, the young master has a kind heart, what can he do!
