Mu Ping's courtyard was very lively. It turned out that Mrs. Mu hired an outside painter to paint Mu Ping's beauty. The maids and servants who were idle around surrounded them and couldn't take care of their work. They used to know that the eldest lady is good-looking, but now it's like this Well-dressed, elegantly sitting under the flowers, holding a round fan, and a butterfly resting on the fragrant shoulder, it looks like a charming picture.

The painter was found from the academy, and he was also the master who taught Mu Ping. Mu Tao wanted to go around, but he was discovered by Mu Ping.

Frowning slightly, Mu Ping waved his fan, "Mother, Xiaotao is here."

Mrs. Mu was sitting at the table with several plates of melons and fruits. She pretended to be angry and waited for Mu Tao to come forward by herself.

In this situation, I am afraid that I can't hide it. Mu Tao meekly walked over, sat down next to Mrs. Mu, and put his hands on her arms.

"Mother, why do you make a portrait of your sister? Is there anything special about it?"

Mrs. Mu poked her forehead, wiped her temple hair, and looked back at Mu Ping, who was sitting in a dignified posture, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

"Reciprocity, send the portrait to the Marquis of Pingyin. Didn't your father ask for the portrait of Prince An Jia last time? Ping'er said that he also wanted to give his own portrait to Prince An Jia. The two people on the left and right are getting closer, so there is nothing wrong with it. Although we haven't met each other, let's take a look at the appearance of our future daughter-in-law first.

By the way, Master Jiang is coming to the mansion recently. I told your father that although your matter is not in a hurry, it is time to think about it. "

Mrs. Mu looked at her downcast little face, and continued, "Since the painter has arrived, Ping'er's portrait will be finished in a while, and mother thinks, I will also make one for you. When your father goes out and sees a suitable family, Good to get to know each other."

If she didn't know Ye Yun's identity before, Mu Tao would have refused, but now, in front of Mu Ping, she still feels ashamed of her, so she doesn't know whether to refuse Madam Mu's proposal or not. It is only right to follow the trend.

The night was cooler, and Mu Tao was pacing back and forth in her yard. She was not far from Mu Ping's room, and the lights in Mu Ping's room had long since gone out. After thinking about it for so long, she still didn't dare to confess to Mu Ping. .

No matter how you say it, it seems to be showing off and provoking, Mu Tao sighed, his liver and intestines were stagnant, took a few breaths of cool air, and actually coughed.

"Xiao Tao, do you have something to say to me?"

Mu Ping came out wearing only her middle coat, her hair was loosely scattered behind her head, and the loose powder on her nails had been washed off. She wanted to hold Mu Tao's hand, but suddenly stopped when she approached.

"After I get married to your brother-in-law in the future, I will naturally think about you, Xiao Tao, my mother has told me many times these days that she is anxious about your marriage. As a sister, I am the same.

Anjia Shizi is young and promising. My sister hopes that your husband in the future will be like him and treat others with sincerity. My sister knows that you are anxious. After all, we are about the same age. Xiao Tao, you should also take care of yourself and obey your parents' arrangements. Go out and cause trouble. "

When she said this, she understood what she meant, but she didn't want to be honest with Xiaotao about the fact that Ye Yun had looked for her. In Mu Ping's view, since she was a child with a sense of superiority, she couldn't be compared to Mu Tao in matters of marriage. down.

Even if Ye Yun is obsessed with her now, it's just a youthful illusion. One day, life will still be ordinary. At that time, infatuation and getting along with her will be in a different realm.

In addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, love and romance, there are more daily necessities. Mu Ping believes that with her intelligence, she will definitely change Ye Yun's heart.

"Sister, actually I..."

"Okay, hurry up and go back to sleep, Xiaotao, don't embarrass your parents, remember, everything must be based on the glory of the Mu family. The emperor bestowed upon me a married son, An Jia, and this is the supreme glory of the Mu family. I will definitely use my life to maintain this marriage contract, and you should also remember that you will do the same in the future."

There were only these few words in Mu Tao's ears, that's right, don't make any more mistakes.

Chu Xiao had already asked Zhang Quanzhi to switch to the third type of clear wine. He drank it from evening to late night, and from late night until the moon was pale.

However, no matter how good the drinker is, the person on the table can't hold on to the drunk aloe.

"I don't understand, hey, Chu Xiao, I don't understand."

Here it is again, talking while drinking, Chu Xiao changed the wine for him, there is no non-intoxicating wine, he can only change to something light that is not so stomach-sick.

"Why, Chu Xiao, hey, hey, the son of the Pingyin Houfu, sometimes I am tired of memorizing this false name, and I can't get rid of it. Chu Xiao, she still refuses to see me. Her elder sister made it clear that they are in love with each other, so why bother to look forward and backward, what about the wine, have you drunk it?"

Ye Yun picked up the cup and raised it above his head, Chu Xiao smiled and filled it up for him.

"Drink less, it's useless and hurts your body."

"Shh~ Don't let Yan'er hear it, or I'll blame you for not taking her with me. You know, although the Hou Mansion looks like a beautiful place, but there are too many things inside, I dare not slack off. For her, I dare to go to the imperial court and ask for an end to the engagement."

"Ye Yun, you are not for her, but for the two of you. Don't put all your excuses on others, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable and you will become more unclear. The path is chosen by yourself, and the interests are also involved."

Chu Xiao pointed out the chaos, which Ye Yun tried to avoid.

Ye Yun sneered, "Chu Xiao, do you know why I asked you to drink?"

Zhang Quanzhi looked at the time, Chu Xiao told him not to rush, "You always hit the nail on the head and leave no room for it."

Even though he drank so much, he still got up in the morning, Ye Yun opened the door and left, Chu Xiao asked someone to follow behind, in case there was any trouble.

Surprisingly, not long after leaving the Chu Mansion, Ye Yun saw Mu Tao. He was about to rush forward, but was scared back by Mu Ping's profile.

"Xiaotao, if you really like it, go for it bravely. Sister blesses you, don't just wait."

Mu Ping seized the timing, and she had already seen Ye Yun just a few times. With his skills, it was not too difficult to hear the two of them talking. What's more, he and Mu Tao hadn't seen each other for many days. For whatever purpose, he will eavesdrop.

"Ah? Sister, what are you talking about, I..."

"Xiao Tao, my sister hopes that you will be happy. Really, as long as you feel good, I will do anything."

"you say......"

"Okay, don't say any more, my sister understands."

What did she understand, but Mu Tao was confused. She was still asleep in the morning, but Mu Ping pulled her up for an unprecedented time. After running so far in a hurry, her nose was sore. As soon as she sat down, she heard Mu Ping's words.

She didn't even have a chance to ask herself a question, and Mu Tao felt a little puzzled, but seeing Mu Ping's appearance, she was very serious, so she had to listen until two bowls of noodles in clear soup came out from the noodle restaurant, and the person opposite seemed to be relieved , Eyebrows also changed color.

"Are you all right, sister."

Mu Tao saw the change in her, but she still didn't know why Mu Ping seemed to be a different person. At this moment, she was sitting upright in the Mu residence again, unable to eat or sleep.

As expected, she was suffering from the cold. When she was eating noodles, her nose and tears flowed, her brain was buzzing, and her whole body was a little weak. In addition, she was in a hurry, and she never drank any water. The morning wind was the most refreshing in a day, but it was also It aggravated Mu Tao's condition.

Zhang Quanzhi leaned in front of Chu Xiao and finished what he saw, just as he had guessed, Mu Ping really knew about it a long time ago.

The eldest daughter of the Mu family lived up to her name in the capital, and she was indeed capable. Facing her younger sister, she was able to play tricks so smoothly and naturally, which was not easy.

I'm afraid that there is Mu Ping's eyeliner in Pingyinhou's mansion, otherwise, she would know exactly why Ye Yun stayed in Chu's mansion. On the way, I found a random noodle shop, and Ye Yun could overhear the two of them talking.

This Mu Ping is really interesting.

Chu Xiao pinched his forehead, feeling a little headache. Although Ye Yun didn't mention it to Mu Tao a few days ago, Chu Xiao knew that he secretly helped Mu's house clean up Tian Shun, the prince's nanny's house. The government provoked the scoundrel.

Because of Mu Tao, Tian Shun knew that the Mu family didn't care about petty money, but he was afraid of losing face, so he bullied others again and again, thinking that as long as he passed by, someone would take care of it. It was like a bottomless pit, which couldn't be filled no matter what.

Just happened to be seen by Ye Yun once, so he thought of a way to cure him.

Whether this matter is big or small, people with a heart spread rumors, somehow, let the prince know, Ye Yun, who had originally made up his mind not to help each other, was forced to retreat to Chen Wang's tent, In this way, the situation is clear.

Although Chu Xiao was not in the court, he was able to get a glimpse of the subtleties. The source of this rumor might come from Chen Wang's subordinates.
