Xijiang Chunqian

The haze that had lasted for several days gradually dissipated with the light that pierced the clouds, and the streets became more and more lively. As the end of the year approached, many merchants who traveled all over the country gradually returned to Beijing, and the busiest streets were busier than ever.

A few days after the prince's wedding, it was the time when Tang Ruoyun returned to the mansion to visit his relatives. The old lady of the Tang family sent someone to the Chu mansion, originally for the sake of her granddaughter's feelings, but unexpectedly she was blocked back. She was rejected for the first time, although her heart was clear , but still felt a little wronged by Tang Ruoyun.

The old lady of the Tang family liked Chu Xiao very much, and hoped that Chu Xiao could be her grandson-in-law from the bottom of her heart. For the heavy.Good fortune tricks people, Tang Ruoyun's involvement in the Crown Prince's Mansion is hard to say until the last moment, but there is one thing that has been decided in advance. From now on, the Tang Mansion will be loyal to the Crown Prince, and if he collapses, the Tang Mansion will not end. clean.

Although Chen Wang had handled the matter of that day and night in private, the words were fearsome, and there were always a few people who couldn't keep their mouths open when they passed it on. The romantic anecdote of Miss Mu became a gossip for a while. , Many people are eating melon seeds, basking in the sun, and they always like to chat about other people's parents.

In the end, it really spread to the Mu Mansion, and Mu Zhanqing was furious. Although he didn't know what happened that day, he still locked Mu Tao in the mansion and couldn't easily go out.

Chen Wang could have come to the door to explain. After thinking about it for a few times, he felt that Mu Zhanqing's arrangement was very appropriate. After all, Mu Tao was going to marry into Chen Wang's mansion in the future. It was the most appropriate for both himself and him.If there are too many gossips for the future princess of Prince Chen's mansion, it will eventually hinder the appearance. In this way, he acquiesced to Mu Zhanqing's behavior, and naturally he did not come to the mansion to clarify.

"My lord, Miss Kang has a letter. Put it here in the morning. I don't want to refuse you because you are tired at night. It seems that I want to ask you to go to Nanshan to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Zhang Quanzhi flicked his sleeves, quickly handed it to Chu Xiao, and put the stove into his arms along the way.

Chu Xiao read the letter, while touching the stove with the other hand, he seemed a little puzzled, and his heart was full of strangeness, "What else did she say?"

"No, I just mentioned it, saying that there is another friend who will go there with me."

Naturally, Chu Xiao sighed, and put the letter into the charcoal fire, the tongue of fire biting the letter paper, and gradually devoured it into embers.

It was rare to be allowed to leave the house. Mu Tao held the letter. Mu Zhanqing must have read the contents of the letter before handing it over to her if he didn't find anything wrong. He even deliberately allowed her to go out.

Although she didn't know what Kang Miaoxue's plan was, Mu Tao was glad that she was free again, and rode the horse humming a little song all the way to Nanshan Meizhuang.

As soon as Fang got off the horse, someone led her there. Mei Zhuang's servants were polite and courteous, and a servant girl next to her was slightly blessed, and led her to walk deep into Mei Zhuang.

The plum blossoms on both sides are blooming very well, most of them are warm red plums, sweet and fragrant, and occasionally a few white plums are hidden among them, accompanied by the white snow all over the mountain, which is really beautiful.

The greenness on the branches is weak, especially when there is snow hanging on it, it will fall off with a slight touch, and only then will the buds inside be exposed. Mu Tao patted the snowflakes on his shoulder, then raised his head again, just in time to see the villa pavilion Next, the two chatted happily over wine.

Naturally she was puzzled, this Kang Miaoxue, since she invited Chu Xiao, why bother to go to all lengths to find herself together, maybe she wanted to be a matchmaker, go through the needles, and help them accomplish beautiful things.

Thinking about it this way, the scene of Chu Xiao and Tang Ruoyun behind the rockery that night appeared in front of her, which made her a little inexplicably hot.

Mu Tao ran to the bottom of the pavilion a few steps, and didn't bother to look at Chu Xiao, but nodded to Kang Miaoxue as a greeting.

"Miss Mu Er, thank you for your face."

Kang Miaoxue's nails were dyed light pink, very similar to Mu Ping's previous attire.

"Have a glass of wine to warm up first." She has slender fingers and speaks politely. Mu Tao took it without ambiguity, raised her head and drank it, and then sat next to Kang Miaoxue. From the human point of view, it is a bit strange.

"Miss Kang wrote to invite me to come over, what's the matter?"

Kang Miaoxue raised her eyes, and her delicate eyes seemed to look at Chu Xiao first, and then at Mu Tao, "There is no one else, but there are many rumors in the capital, I think Miss Mu has suffered a lot from it, and I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm afraid you will worry about it in the mansion." It's too much, so I invite you."

"So, I would like to thank Ms. Kang for her adult beauty. However, I don't seem to be familiar with Ms. Kang. It doesn't seem to matter if we meet or not. Why don't we just explain why we came here? I feel at ease. After all, because of Ms. Kang's letter, my father That’s why he let me go out of the house for a day.”

Mu Tao doesn't intend to cling to others, this is also the teaching of Mu Zhanqing when he was young, whenever someone tries to get close to him, he must have unfathomable thoughts, don't be fooled.

Kang Miaoxue was taken aback for a moment, as if she hadn't expected Mu Tao to refuse so simply, and finally smiled, the unhappiness flashed across her face.

"Miss Mu Er was joking, but the rumors in the capital are related to Miss Mu Er and Young Master Chu. Young Master Chu and I are close friends, and have always had a good reputation in the capital. Now, because of the false rumors, it has caused serious damage to him and you. If there is no trouble, I think, it is better to call out the two parties and explain it together. Otherwise, if those disciples become more and more numerous, and they are passed around, maybe they will give Mr. Chu a name in the end, which is really annoying. Unbearable."

"Oh, there's no need to explain this time. I have nothing to do with Mr. Chu. Don't worry, let alone speculate on the unnecessary rumors. Also, you are optimistic about him. Don't let him have a relationship with him. Others get closer, otherwise, I will not be the only one who will spread rumors with him. There are many girls in the capital, and if they are not in order, there will be people who love Mr. Chu. Miss Kang, I really have your help.

Also, Mr. Chu has a good reputation, and I, Mu Tao, have a good reputation. If no one slanders me, I really don't want to have anything to do with you. "

The situation of that day, the reason for the current rumors, Chu Xiao knew clearly in his heart.

Why does this kind of thing depend on Mu Tao in the end? Isn't it precisely Chu Xiao who should reflect the most.

He turned his head and glanced at the man, but he was still able to hold his breath, slowly picked up the cup, and brought it to his lips leisurely, like a person in a painting, drank the wine, and put it down gracefully, without saying much.

Thanks to being a cripple, otherwise, how many people may have been harmed.

Kang Miaoxue is also a wonderful person. She looks elegant and ignorant of the world. She didn't expect that when she became anxious, she would ignore it and mess up the order. She was like the master and took the place of Chu Xiao when she was supposed to speak by herself. Drink a glass of wine, and don't argue with Mu Tao.

How could Mu Tao hold back in such a situation, he was about to get up to say goodbye, but he heard that person speak calmly, but it was to Kang Miaoxue.

"Miss Kang, thank you for fighting for me, but I don't like to be interfered with in my affairs. This time there will be such rumors. It is because of my inappropriate behavior and it has nothing to do with Miss Mu. Please don't misunderstand.

Also, if possible, I would like to have a few words with Miss Mu Er alone. The carriage going down the mountain is waiting at the gate of the villa, and I will ask someone to bring it with you. "

There was almost no room for Kang Miaoxue to refuse, Chu Xiao waved his hand, and the people in the villa quickly led the horses, equipped the carts, and waited beside them, it seemed that it was unreasonable for Kang Miaoxue not to leave.

The worst scenario has been planned, but I didn't expect that Chu Xiao would not show any affection for Mu Tao, and even let herself leave early. Kang Miaoxue was sore in her heart, but she didn't want to offend Chu Xiao. With affection, he glared at Mu Tao resentfully, and finally left.

"Mr. Chu is very talented. A few days ago, I was ambiguous with the princess. Today, I witnessed a good show of fighting against injustice and jealousy for you. It's really impressive. It's no wonder that you satirized me with the sound of the piano that day. It's exquisite and clear, so don't pick and choose, but, in the end, don't be too picky and marry an evil woman who will torture you all day long."

"I don't need to worry about this, Miss Mu. If I really marry such a woman one day, I will be happy with it. Why do I have other thoughts. Come, this glass of wine, I respect you and apologize for my abruptness that day. "

It was rare to see Chu Xiao so decisive, and Mu Tao was unambiguous, and immediately dried it and added good wine.

"This wine needs to be drunk slowly. It is warm and soft at the front, and has a lot of stamina. The wine is made by a famous master in the capital. It uses snow water from Meizhuang. It is clear and sweet, so be careful not to get drunk."

"If I'm drunk and you show your true face, you don't ask people to take a good look at it. What kind of inconsistency is there."

Mu Tao tilted her head, saw that he was thoughtful, and was not angry at what she said, so she became angry.

"Young girl from Xilelou is going to give birth in a few days. I heard that you and that ran more diligently. If people knew about it, they might talk about it. Maybe the child of the girl will have to rely on it in the end." to your head."

Mu Tao didn't like him anyway, but he had to remind him.

Except for him and her, there are not many people who know that Miss Houhou is pregnant. The madam's mouth is very strict, naturally to save her life. When the time comes, if the person behind the scene doesn't miss Miss Houhou, he is afraid that he will do anything come out.

After all, she is a firework girl, she has no power, power or support, and she is not at the mercy of others.

"Miss Mu Er is helping me."

Chu Xiao smiled slightly, and the hands on his knees shook slightly, which was undetectable.

"Don't be so stinky, I'm afraid you will die without a place to bury you."

Mu Tao's mouth was hard, and the aftertaste of the wine slowly came up. She fanned the wind, pretending to be slightly drunk, with pink cheeks and jade, which made Chu Xiao's heart flutter.

"You're drunk." Chu Xiao took the cup in front of her, as if intending to obstruct it.

"Really, Chu Xiao, how about I take advantage of my drunkenness to ask you a word?" Mu Tao suddenly sat upright, but the clear light in his eyes slowly swayed away, engulfing the coolness in Chu Xiao's heart.

"You said."

"What is the purpose of your friendship with Ye Yun?"

After Mu Tao finished speaking, the drunkenness in his eyes gradually faded away, and the two looked at each other without giving in. Chu Xiao's smile slowly condensed, like a dried plum in the ice and snow, without any trace of life.

When she asked like this, she thought she knew about his background for a long time, but she just admired it. With Mu Tao's character, it was really not easy to bear it until now to reveal it.This time, he borrowed drunkenness and pretended to be a little drunk. He must have thought twice, thinking about Ye Yun's safety, so he had no choice but to do it.Chu Xiao's hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves. If Mu Tao was more careful, he might be able to see the blue veins exposed on the eve of his anger, but unfortunately, she would not care at all.

"He and I are naturally friends. Miss Mu Er thinks, what else can there be?"

Chu Xiao moved the wheelchair back. He had been sitting for so long in his life that many times, when talking with people, in order to show respect, they would bend down and listen to his words, and they would deliberately embarrass him. Staggering, squinting sideways.

It's just that after he became famous, there were fewer such things.

"You know what I'm asking, Chu Xiao, why did you come into contact with Ye Yun?" Mu Tao strengthened his tone, implying a sense of persecution.

"Friendship."

"you're lying."

"I do not have."

One is strong, the other is flattered, and the two look at each other, neither hiding nor hiding, as if they are competing, and they seem to be emphasizing to each other that you are wrong.

"You and Master, I also know the notices that have been hidden behind the scenes several times. The person above is King Liang of Chu State. At first, I didn't know why you hid these notices until I compared them with yours. You don't look like King Liang, but you look a lot alike. I can't tell where you look, but I know that King Liang and you must be inextricably linked.

Chu Xiao and Ye Yun have nothing to do with the grievances of their previous generation. Even if his father fought against King Liang back then, neither of them returned to their relatives, not only you, but also Ye Yun.

So, you are planning every step of the way, and you want to take revenge on Ye Yun, right? "

After Mu Tao finished speaking, he felt a big puff of turbid air coming out of his chest, which was much lighter. The man's expression was slightly shaken, and when he looked carefully, there was a sense of sadness.

However, at this time, Mu Tao was only thinking about Ye Yun's safety, and he didn't care about the strangeness on Chu Xiao's face at all.

"Second Miss Mu, thanks to you for looking up to me, I never imagined that in your eyes, I, a cripple, have such supernatural powers that I can kill the brave General Ye."

Chu Xiao smiled, although the sun was just right and the plum blossoms were in full bloom, but Mu Tao felt that it was as if thousands of snowflakes were falling from the sky, it was so cold and deserted.

"When you take revenge on Ye Yun, you don't necessarily want to kill him. Some things may be more painful than killing him. Chu Xiao, the grievances of the previous generation are over, and some things are not a bad thing to let go."

Mu Tao changed the words, trying to change Chu Xiao's mind.

The man's back was facing him, his figure was straight, his black hair was rolled up, and he wore a jasper hairpin. His thin body was wrapped in a moon-white robe. Although the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, the back view was enough to make people Stay away.

His slender fingers fumbled on the armrest of the wheelchair, over and over again, and finally breathed out like blue.

"Miss Mu Er, you are right, I just want to take revenge on him."

As soon as this remark came out, Mu Tao was startled, but she saw Chu Xiao turn the wheelchair around, with a cool look in his eyes, when he spoke, it seemed that layers of icebergs separated her, making it impossible for her to catch up.

"There are many ways to take revenge on him, for example, snatching away his beloved, making him miserable, taking away the power he cares about, making him unable to support the lintel of Pingyinhou's mansion, taking away his good reputation, making him Like a rat crossing the street, everyone gets it and kills him. In short, I will take everything he owns.

I answer you like this, are you satisfied?

Is it in line with my despicable image in your heart, so that I can live up to the name and make people happy. What should a person like me do to reassure Miss Mu Er? "

He was talking and laughing, but endless desolation flowed out from the bottom of the man's eyes, making the body that was warmed by the wine suddenly cool down, chilling to the bone.

The author has something to say: Mu Tao: Cripple, what are you thinking in your heart?

Chu Xiao: Don't you know what I'm thinking?

Mu Tao: Can knowing be the same as hearing?

Chu Xiao: I don’t want to say anything.

Mu Tao: Kill you.

The next chapter is v, and chapter v will leave a comment, and they will all give out red envelopes. It’s not easy to be with each other, and you can do it and cherish it.
