In the back yamen, Yun Qiaoer, with her hair in double buns and her sleeves rolled up high, revealing her fair arms, was bending over to catch fish in the lotus pond under the corridor, with her buttocks raised high.
When Qin Mu took Li Xiangjun and Xing'er into the back court, a "splash" sound came from the lotus pot, and the splashing water splashed all over the little girl's face.
"Girl, what are you doing?"
"Ah, young master, you are finally back... ... ... ..this is..." Qiao'er's front was already wet in a large area, and the water stains on her face had not yet dried. She looked very embarrassed, but she could not hide her joy when she saw Qin Mu. After running up a few steps, she found Li Xiangjun and his servants behind Qin Mu, and she couldn't help but hesitate.
"This is your sister Xiangjun. The one behind is Xing'er. Call someone." Qin Mu felt at home when he saw the little girl's bright eyes. He rubbed Qiao'er's little head, turned back and smiled at Li Xiangjun, "I got this girl in exchange for a pancake. How is it? Isn't it worth the money? But Xiangjun, don't be fooled by her pretty appearance. This girl is very smart, but she likes to play dumb. Be careful not to be sold by her and count money for her."
Qiao'er refused and pulled his sleeve, pouting her little mouth.
After hearing what Qin Mu said, Li Xiangjun couldn't help but burst out laughing, her pretty face blooming like a delicate flower, extremely bright. She smiled and greeted Qiao'er, who returned her a smile, and then pouted at Qin Mu with a wronged look on her face.
Qin Mu raised his hand and said, "What? Did I say something wrong? When we left Jinling City, your sister Xiangjun came to see us off. Although you didn't get off the car, do you dare to say that you didn't peek in the car? Now you pretend that you don't know your sister Xiangjun. What are you planning? Tell the truth quickly."
The evidence was irrefutable. The little girl replied with embarrassment: "But... but it's different."
"That's different. Your sister Xiangjun has just become more beautiful. Don't say you can't recognize her." Qin Mu's words seemed to be unintentional, but they made Li Xiangjun feel as sweet as if she had drunk honey. The look in her eyes when she looked at him was even more tender.
Yun Qiaoer then defended herself, "I mean our status is different." This made Li Xiang blush, and she quickly replied, "What status can a sister have? From now on, Qiaoer, just call me sister. By the way, Qiaoer, what were you doing just now?"
"Catch some fish." The little girl remembered her business and hurried back to the lotus pond, ready to continue her unfinished work. "Yesterday someone brought fish to the government office to sell, and I saw a big carp jumping around, so I bought it and kept it. Today, the young master and Sister Xiangjun are back, and there is no other dish, so I had to eat it."
Qin Mu followed to the lotus pond and saw a huge carp in it, probably weighing more than three kilograms. With such a big fish and half of the pond filled with water, it was hard to expect the little girl to catch it with her bare hands. She probably wouldn't be able to eat fish today.
"Girl, this won't work. We need to find something to grab."
"Sir, I came here to look for you. We don't have anything at home that can be used to catch fish."
Qin Mu looked at the half-filled tank of water and felt a little worried. This lotus tank was half a person's height and was usually filled with water. Planting some lotus flowers in the tank could serve as a good decoration. Its main function was actually to store water for firefighting, so it could store a lot of water.
Qin Mu thought for a moment and said with a chuckle, "Then find a stone."
"What do you want the stone for, sir?"
"Have you heard the story of Sima Guang smashing the jar? I can tell you for sure that smashing the jar can not only save people, but also catch fish."
In Li Xiangjun's opinion, Qin Mu was just talking nonsense and Qiao'er would definitely not take his words seriously.
But what she never expected was that the magical Yun Qiaoer took out a stone from the other side of the lotus pot and handed it to Qin Mu without saying a word, as if she had been prepared to smash the pot. Her bright eyes blinked at Qin Mu, waiting for him to take action.
Li Xiangjun was a clever person, but at this moment she was almost petrified: "What are you doing?"
"Smash the jar." Qin Mu and Qiao'er answered in unison.
Li Xiangjun had learned something new this time. She rolled her eyes at Qin Mu in anger and amusement, then turned to Xing'er and said, "Xing'er, go find a basin and scoop out the water from the jar."
"No need to go through so much trouble." Qin Mu raised the stone again.
"Don't smash it."
"Then tell me, what did you write in the letter?"
"I won't tell you, hehe, just smash it."
Li Xiangjun has a petite figure, fingers like peeled onion roots, and a mouth like red cinnabar. She is already a stunning beauty who appeals to everyone. With a bit of coquettish charm, she is even more like a willow swaying in the wind and a flower smiling gently. She is so charming that Qin Mu was mesmerized for a moment.
"Bang!" A stone slipped from someone's hand and hit the lotus pot.
"Ah!" Qiao'er was frightened by the sudden attack and screamed. The decibel level was high enough to shatter the glass. Fortunately, the lotus pot was the most valuable thing in Huichang County Government, and there was no glass in it.
Li Xiangjun's sweet smile froze on her pretty face. She watched the huge stream of water pouring out of the lotus pot. Her right hand unconsciously pointed at Qin Mu: "You... you are really messed up?"
"You asked me to smash it." After coming to his senses, County Magistrate Qin quickly occupied the moral high ground and completely shifted the blame.
"Sister Xiangjun, the young master saw that you were stunned and let the stone slip out of his hand without paying attention." Yun Qiaoer immediately and mercilessly exposed his ugly true face.
"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about. I... uh, I'm just too hungry. My hands and feet are a little weak. Well, I'm really hungry. Hurry up and catch some fish and cook. Cook..." County Magistrate Qin fled in panic, and his last echo lingered from the hall.
All that was left in the yard was a blushing face and a pair of gem-like bright eyes, yes, the poor lotus pond, and a big carp jumping around.
Li Xiangjun cooked dinner herself. To be a famous prostitute, one needs not only to be able to sing and dance, but also to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, makeup, sex, tea ceremony, cooking, national situation, love affairs and miscellaneous gossip. To be a famous prostitute, one must be proficient in everything, or at least have a relatively deep knowledge of them.
Li Xiangjun's cooking skills were absolutely first-rate. The braised carp was very tasty and beautiful. The three girls had small appetites, so most of the three-pound carp swam into Qin Mu's stomach.
After dinner, Qin Mu did not forget to practice sword skills in the backyard for a while. Meng Ke once taught him a set of sword techniques. The movements were simple and direct, with big and wide movements and no frills. They were most suitable for use on the battlefield. He had always practiced diligently, and now he felt very comfortable using the giant sword as a knife.
After practicing martial arts and sweating profusely, Qin Mu threw away the giant sword and ran to take a shower.
Li Xiangjun was leaning against the railing, watching him practice swordplay intently, when suddenly, the huge sword was thrown into the bushes, and Qin Mu Ren disappeared.
Li Xiangjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Scholars usually take good care of their books, and martial artists often regard swords as their lives. She had never seen Qin Mu treat his sword as scrap metal and throw it away like that.
She walked to the edge of the bushes and tried to pick up the sword, but she couldn't lift it with one hand. She had just seen Qin Mu dancing quite easily, but she didn't expect the sword to be so heavy. When she saw the two bird-shaped inscriptions on the sword, she couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.
When Qin Mu came out of the shower, he saw her holding a handkerchief and carefully wiping the giant sword in the hall with a very focused expression.
Her petite figure, against the backdrop of the giant sword, looked even more graceful and elegant, and her skin, as white as jade, glowed faintly under the light. Without touching it, one could be sure that it was extremely warm and smooth.
Qin Mu couldn't help but think of the three words "fragrant fan pendant" in his mind. If such a petite and beautiful beauty were to be placed on a man's lap, she would be so adorable that he would not let her go.
Hearing Qin Mu's footsteps, Li Xiangjun raised her head, glared at him and said, "Others would treasure this ancient divine weapon as if it were their life, but you, Qin Lang, treat it like scrap metal and throw it around. You are really something."
"Hey, you recognize this sword too?"
"Although I am ignorant, I have heard of this Juque Sword."
"Oh, then can you tell me about its origin?" Qin Mu said casually. He would not reveal that he did not know the origin of this sword.
"This Juque sword was forged by Ou Yezi during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is one of the four famous swords along with Gan Jiang, Moye, and Pilu. Que means "defective," but it is incomparably strong, so it is called "the most powerful sword in the world." Even swords like Gan Jiang and Moye dare not compete with it."
Li Xiangjun thought Qin Mu was testing her knowledge, so she explained it in great detail.
After listening to this, Qin Mu took a deep breath, walked forward, picked up the Juque sword, and looked at it again, as if he was looking at the body of a beautiful woman. The Supreme One in the World, why have I never heard of him
"I have some doubts that it was a replica made by later generations."
"I don't think it's a replica." Li Xiangjun also came up to examine the giant sword, her slender jade fingers gently sliding across the sword, as if feeling the veins of the sword. "This sword, whether from the diamond-shaped dark grid pattern on the sword body or the decoration of the sword grid, is in the style of the Qin Qiu period. I have seen some swords, but none of them have such a natural feeling as this sword. This sword is full of sword energy and rich. Although it has no edge, it faintly flows with a majestic spirit, which makes people..."
Qin Mu imitated Li Xiangjun and used his fingers to feel the breath of the sword. He accidentally touched her hand. Li Xiangjun subconsciously retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted. Only then did she realize that she was so close to Qin Mu, almost sticking to him.
She was a head shorter than Qin Mu, and her whole body seemed to be curled up in his arms. The masculine aura of Qin Mu made her whole body soft, and a faint blush soon appeared on her crystal-like face, which was very touching.
Qin Mu held one hand stiff as he smelled her faint virgin fragrance, his heart filled with the urge to hold the beauty tightly in his arms and caress her with all his might.
Under the flickering lights, the two of them were very close...
