Chang'an Ferry

Because of this, the emperor asked Mu Yuying to go back early and write a [-]-word self-criticism. They were all punished because of Qing Shu, and Mu Yingying walked slowly alone.

"Aying" Li Shengye came from a distance, walking faster and faster.

"Ah Ye..." Mu Yanying raised her head and sighed in her heart, why is it still a bit short.

Li Shengye raised his hand and rubbed Mu Yanying's hair, "What's wrong? You don't look happy!"

"When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, my aunt and uncle discovered that I was fishing. They were very angry and punished Qingshu and Uncle Heping." Mu Yingying lowered her head, blaming herself.

Li Shengye was also very angry, "I think it's right! If you don't punish, you won't have a long memory. Let's see if you dare to do it next time."

"Don't dare"

"Are you going to pick them up?" Li Shengye asked.

"Um"

"Let's go! I'll be with you." Li Shengye strode forward.

"Aye, have you finished your work?" Mu Yanying chased after Li Shengye and walked side by side.

"Um"

When they arrived at Ye Ting, Qing Shu and Chu Ping had already come out, and Mu Yanying hurried up, "I'm sorry, I got you bothered."

"It's nothing, this is our dereliction of duty." Qing Shu's face was a little pale when he saw Mu Yanying smiled and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

Chu Ping couldn't see anything, "Young Master, don't worry."

"How many others?" Mu Yanying thought about those hidden guards who had never seen their real faces.

"Already gone out," Chu Ping said.

"Oh, Uncle Ping, let them go back to rest for a few days, and you too, take a longer rest," Mu Yanying instructed.

Chu Ping shook his head, "Young master, don't worry, we can bear fifty army sticks."

"I don't care, I'm not going anywhere these days anyway, so I'll give you all a vacation, Uncle Ping, you inform them." Seeing that Mu Yingying's mind had been decided, Chu Ping nodded.

Because both Qing Shu and Chu Ping were injured, Mu Yanying specially borrowed someone from Li Shengye to drive them back to Mu's house in a carriage.

"Speaking of which, the dishes of the restaurant you took me to during the Chinese New Year were very novel, but I planned to go there once and never had the chance to go." Mu Yanying said with regret.

"I knew you would like it, so I specially prepared a set at the house. If you like it, you can come here when you like." Li Shengye said, feeling a little nervous.

"Okay!" Mu Yanying nodded.

"Then when will you come?" Li Shengye looked into Mu Yanying's eyes, Mu Yanying was a little stunned, why did he have to set a time.

"Wait for the weather to be cooler! It will be warm"

"Alright." Li Shengye thought silently, it's only August and it will take almost two months until the weather turns cooler, "Then what are you going to do in the future?"

"I want to go back and write a review." Just thinking about it gave me a headache. It was the first time I grew up, and then I looked at Li Shengye, "Aye, will you write a review?"

"No, I haven't written it" What a pity!

"Oh, by the way, Aye, I saw a jade pendant when I was in Fuzhou. I think it is very suitable for you. Unfortunately, I didn't bring it with me. I will send it to you tomorrow."

"Okay" Li Shengye brushed Mu Yanying's sleeve with his fingers slightly, "I'll wait for you"

"What?" The last sentence was said too softly, Mu Yanying didn't hear clearly, and asked with her head tilted.

Li Shengye shook his head, "It's nothing, let's go, I'll take you back"

"You sent me back, why don't you go to my house and take the jade pendant?" Mu Yanying reacted, and Li Shengye was taken aback for a long time before he said, "You said that you will give it to me tomorrow, and how can giving a gift make me feel uncomfortable?" Get it yourself!"

Mu Yanying thought about it too, "Okay!"

So early the next morning, Mu Yanying took the jade pendant to Li Shengye's mansion, and when he arrived, Li Shengye hadn't returned from court.

"Master Mu, you are here, the master has explained everything in advance, please come with me"

"Thank you little Eunuch Li"

"Young Master Mu, you're being polite." Xiao Lizi has known his master's thoughts for so many years. Although the person in front of him is a man, he is the person on the top of his master's heart. "Here"

"Did you renovate the garden again?" Mu Yanying remembered that the garden was not like this when she came last time.

"Yes, it has been repaired a little bit. You can ask the master for details. Over there is the master's study and bedroom. You can go and have a look." Xiao Lizi is very eager, and in his heart he longs for Mu Yanying to go and have a look.

"I'm not going, I'll just walk in the yard, if little Eunuch Li has something to do, go and get busy!" Mu Yanying said.

Xiao Lizi nodded with a smile, "Okay, sir, if you call me for something, I'll come right over."

"it is good"

There was an open space around the study room, and there were several targets set up at the farthest point. Mu Yanying went to the shelf and chose a bow, took the arrow and walked straight ahead, took aim, and hit the bull's-eye.

"Excellent." Li Shengye walked over while applauding, "I didn't expect Ah Ying to be so good at archery!"

"It's just a fluke." Mu Yanying drew the bow again, this time deviated from the target. "Look!"

"It's because you haven't practiced often, so it's inevitable that you're a bit rusty." He went to the shelf and took another bow. "Let's go together."

"Yeah." After using up all the bows and arrows at hand, she stopped. After a long time without drawing the bow, Mu Yuying inevitably felt that her hands were soft. Just when she was about to rub her hands, Li Shengye reached out and said, "I'll rub your arms, otherwise you'll have pain in your hands tomorrow."

"Thank you." Mu Yanying simply sat down, and Li Shengye smiled slightly and stood behind him.

"Is the strength appropriate?"

"Well, it's just right." Mu Yanying closed her eyes and looked satisfied.

……

Li Shengye pressed Mu Yanying for a while, and Mu Yingying opened her eyes, "Okay, Aye, no need, thank you for your hard work." Mu Yingying stood up and picked up the box from the table, "Come on, Aye, look Do you like this jade pendant?"

"Well, I like it very much." The joy in Li Shengye's heart couldn't be suppressed, and he quickly took off the jade pendant from his waist and put on the jade pendant that Mu Yanying gave him, "Aying, does it look good?"

"Good-looking is good-looking, but it doesn't suit your clothes." Mu Yanying said, Li Shengye laughed, "This is a court dress, you wait for me to change clothes, by the way, Ah Ying, you know how to give someone a jade pendant." What do you mean?"

"Ah." Mu Yanying shook her head, "What's the point of this?"

The joy in Li Shengye's heart slowly sank, yes!Ah Ying can have any ideas, but... thinking of this, I am still very happy, after all, Ah Ying still has her own "No, just kidding!"

"Scare me!" Mu Yanying even shook her head and sighed.

Li Shengye touched the jade pendant in his hand, and approached Mu Yanying, "Okay, I got a travel note a few days ago, do you want to read it?"

"Okay!"

In the study room, Li Shengye went to the bookshelf and gave the book to Mu Yanying. Mu Yingying opened it and saw the signature: Xu Lin.

"Aye! Where did you get this? This is the legacy of Master Xu, even my teacher doesn't have it." Mu Yanying held the book in her hands lovingly.

"I happened to pass by that stall that collects scrap books and bought them there, but who is Xu Lin? How did you confirm that it was him?" Actually, it was not accidental, because you like it, so you searched for it in every possible way, it's not that you don't know , but want to hear you tell me.

"Xu Lin was a well-known ranger in the previous dynasty. He was born in a famous family but he didn't like power and carelessness. He traveled all over the world, and wrote down the scenery and humanistic anecdotes along the way with illustrations. After his death, he The book is widely circulated, and up to now I have only seen three copies, two of which are in the palace and the other one was given to me by my uncle, but I didn’t expect there to be another one here!" Mu Yanying explained, and then opened the book. In the signature on the first page, "Look at his seal here has a small tail, which is very inconspicuous. If it is imitated, it is easy to miss and this book is connected with another book."

"So that's how it is." Li Shengye really didn't expect that this valuable book would be sold as a waste book, but seeing Mu Yanying like it so much is also a windfall. "Then I will give it to you if I have a chance to see him in the future." I also collect the books"

"This, no! This is so rare, how can I have it?" Mu Yanying returned the book to Li Shengye, but Li Shengye refused to accept it. "I don't like reading this kind of books, but you like to give it to you just fine."

"Really?" Mu Yanying really liked this book, and immediately held it in her arms after a delay, "Then tell me if you like anything in my place in the future."

"Okay" I want, will you give it?Li Shengye took a deep look at Mu Yanying, "I'm going to change clothes first, you look at it first"

"Yeah..." Mu Yanying was completely immersed in the book, sitting at the table and watching quietly.

Li Shengye quickly changed his clothes, and watched Mu Yanying sitting opposite him with her chin propped up while reading a book without speaking.

"Hmm..." Mu Yanying moved her neck, looked at Li Shengye sitting opposite, then glanced out the window, it was already noon, "Why didn't you call me?" As she said, her stomach growled.

"Hahaha" Li Shengye laughed loudly, "I think you are enjoying watching so I didn't bother you, but it seems that we are going to have lunch now."

"it is good"

Xiao Lizi quickly came in with a few attendants carrying dishes, Mu Yanying took a look, and when those people walked away, Mu Yanying approached Li Shengye and asked in a low voice, "Aye, you want to ask you something?"

It was rare for Mu Yanying to take the initiative to get so close, Li Shengye was a little nervous, "You ask"

"Why don't you have a maid in your house? I have been here several times and I haven't seen one."

It turned out to be this, Li Shengye sat down and said "Yes! Cook"

"It seems to be too." Mu Yanying continued to eat in embarrassment.

"It's going to be very hot, do you want to take a nap and have dinner before leaving?"

"No need, I will read some books, and I promised my mother to go back to accompany her at night." Mu Yanying shook her head.

Li Shengye was slightly disappointed, "That's fine, but you really don't want to sleep?"

"Don't sleep, Aye, go to sleep! I'm going to study in the study." Mu Yanying got up, Li Shengye followed beside him, "I don't sleep either, I happen to be in the study to handle some business"

"Um"

When she returned to the study, Xiao Lizi had thoughtfully brought tea, snacks and fruits, and Mu Yanying continued to sit by the window and read a book.

Li Shengye looked up after reading a booklet, and happened to see Mu Yanying's profile, so he just put down his pen and just looked at it.

Probably because Li Shengye's eyes were too eager, Mu Yanying noticed it, and raised her head, "Aye! What are you looking at?"

"Oh, I'm looking at that plate of pastries. I don't know when the family made this kind." Li Shengye is not lying, because he doesn't like to eat these on weekdays and the style of the pastries is really strange.

Mu Yanying put down the book, "Oh, you should have said it earlier!" and came over with a plate, "I'll bring it for you"

"Well, you can try it too." The pastry was small, just right in the mouth, Li Shengye took one and put it in his mouth, and tasted the filling carefully, it tasted like wine!Looking up, I saw that Mu Yanying also ate one.

"Well, it's delicious." Because the kitchen handled the taste of this wine very well, Mu Yanying didn't taste the taste of the wine, so she took another one.

"Aying, spit it out!"

Mu Yanying looked at Li Shengye puzzled and thought that this snack was quite delicious, but she also found that her head was getting dizzy and she was about to fall down. Li Shengye caught "Little Lizi" with a stride

"The servant is here" Xiao Lizi had already been waiting outside.

“Why is there wine in this pastry”

Xiao Lizi smiled enigmatically, "I tell Your Highness, I heard that Mr. Yan Ying has a very poor drinking capacity, so..."

Li Shengye naturally knew what he hadn't finished speaking, and looked down at Mu Yanying, "Go and receive the punishment yourself, if there is a next time, get out!"

"Yes" Xiao Lizi knelt down, made a big salute, and slowly backed away.

Carrying him to the next bedroom to sleep, Li Shengye held Mu Yanying's hand in a daze, did he blame Xiao Lizi?Not to blame, but to blame myself for thinking this way.

"Aying, will you blame me?" Mu Yanying didn't answer, just lay quietly.After watching for a while, Li Shengye got up and went out.

There is an extremely desolate place in Li Shengye's mansion. Little Lizi came to be punished. At the beginning, those people didn't dare to do it. After all, he was the one who served his master. In the end, it was Xiao Lizi who ordered repeatedly and beat him very hard. Li Shengye arrived At that time, the person was already covered in blood and passed out.

"Send people back to the room"

"Yes"

Li Shengye stood at the door and waited quietly for Xiao Lizi to wake up, when he heard his breathing change behind him, he said, "Who gave you the courage?"

Xiao Lizi was a little disappointed to see Li Shengye standing here, "The slave knows His Highness's thoughts, and the slave loves His Highness, that's why he acted boldly. Your Highness forgives the sin."

"Wrong, how could you be wrong, I was the one who was wrong." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

"Your Highness" Xiao Lizi's head was covered with sweat, "Why don't you try to tell Mr. Mu, tell him..."

"Shut up" Li Shengye turned around and shouted, then closed his eyes and left without looking back, Xiao Lizi faintly heard Li Shengye asking for a doctor while he was in a daze.

Back in the room, Mu Yanying had already turned over, and she could hear faint breathing when she approached, "Aying! I..." I like you, I really like you!
