At the governor's mansion, the governor's wife greeted Mrs. Jin and Mu Yunyao with a smile on her face: "Why did you two come so late? If you don't come, I will send someone to invite you. Don't be too polite, get up. Come in and sit."
After the governor's wife and Mrs. Jin exchanged a few words, she turned her attention to Mu Yunyao. Compared with the previous two meetings with the governor's wife, this time, she was obviously much more enthusiastic: "This time, things are busy and I haven't had time. Go to Niyunfang and sit down, why does Miss Mu look so much thinner?"
Mu Yunyao had a well-behaved smile on her face: "Mrs. I've been worrying all the time. I don't have a good appetite these days, so I ate less."
"You should pay more attention at a young age. The cook in my house makes a good medicated meal. I'll have someone stew a cup and bring it to you later."
Mu Yunyao got up quickly, with a flattered look on her face: "How dare you do this?"
"When I saw you, I felt that I liked it in my heart. If you have anything to dare to do, when you leave, I will have someone copy the medicated recipes for you to take with you. You can make some every day when you go back, and it will take a few days. It's as smooth as ever."
Mu Yunyao hurriedly bowed her knees and bowed: "Thank you Madam, I will definitely cook it every day." Her eyes were bright and her tone of voice was very sincere. The governor's wife clearly intended to befriend her, so she could not refuse.
The governor's wife and Mrs. Jin were both absent-minded, and looked in the direction of the door from time to time. After about half an hour, a maid hurriedly ran in: "Mrs. Qi, the gift from the Holy One has arrived, sir, let me inform you You, Madam Jin and Miss Mu will go to the front yard to receive the order."
"Okay, we'll go right away." The Governor's wife got up quickly, her face radiant, "Go, go, the two of you are the key."
Mrs. Jin was no more polite, and followed the footsteps of the governor's wife to the front yard.
In front of the main hall in the front yard, incense cases and other items have been placed.
Governor Zhang led the officials to stand respectfully under the incense case according to their respective grades. The incense case was enshrined with a scroll of bright yellow imperial decree, which exuded majesty and brilliance in the sun.
Mu Yunyao followed Mrs. Jin to the front yard, and looked at the ground with her eyes lowered slightly. Her eyes were calm, but her face was full of fear. I just heard Governor Zhang say: "Master Su, everyone is here, you can read the will of the Holy Spirit."
Hearing the word Su, Mu Yunyao's brows moved, and she looked up subconsciously. At a glance, her whole body seemed to be struck by thunder, and she suddenly froze in place.
A young man stood next to the incense table. He was dressed in light armor, with picturesque eyebrows, and his phoenix eyes were shining brightly.
Mu Yunyao looked at him, the hatred in her heart was rolling, rushing into her eyes, making those dark eyes freeze and freeze like a thousand feet of ice, and there was no trace of warmth and light: Su Qingwu, It turned out to be Su Qingwu!
Su Qingwu held the imperial decree in both hands and waited for everyone to pay homage. Suddenly, he felt an unusually sharp gaze fell on him. He immediately raised his eyes to look, but only saw the kneeling people, and did not notice any abnormality.
"The emperor's edict said, Jingling City..."
Mu Yunyao knelt down on the ground following the crowd, folded her hands on her forehead and touched the ground, her posture was extremely respectful, but the hatred in her heart was like a huge wave.
Su Qingwu, the proudest eldest grandson of the Su family, was exceptionally promoted to the first-class guard at the age of twenty.
In the previous life, in order to take revenge on that good sister, she used some means to climb into King Jin's bed. The beautiful son who was praised by the world kicked her in the chest, causing her to vomit three mouthfuls of blood. She always remembered the look in his eyes at that time, contempt and disdain, as if looking at a mass of mud on the ground. After that, she entered the palace of King Jin and became a concubine. In order to please the emperor, King Jin had to copy hundreds of Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings. Encountered by Su Qingwu, he dragged her to the yard in the name of being disrespectful to the emperor
Zhongji beat her, she was already four months pregnant at the time, she saw blood after ten strokes, and the child was gone the night she returned...
Although that child was unexpected to her, she was looking forward to it with all her heart. If there were no ten boards, she might have been born safely! As his thoughts rolled over, Su Qingwu had already thought of the reward for her.
"... Mu Yunyao, with a benevolent heart and a good heart, will reward you with a pair of jade Ruyi, ten pieces of brocade, and one hundred taels of gold..."
The imperial decree had been recited for about a quarter of an hour before it was finished.
Mu Yunyao restrained the hatred in her heart, tried her best to restore her calm, and followed the crowd to give thanks.
Governor Zhang got up and took the imperial decree and enshrined it in the lobby, and invited Su Qingwu to the banquet with a smile on his face: "Master Su has come in a hurry, and I have prepared a thin wine in the house to wash the dust for Master Su and the guards. "In terms of the size of the official position, Governor Zhang naturally wants to be above Su Qingwu, but he does not dare to trust him at all, not to mention that Su Qingwu is a popular person in front of the emperor, just because he was born in the Su family, it will make people uncomfortable. Dare to underestimate, what's more, he is only twenty years old, and it can be said that he has a bright future and great ambitions in the future.
.
"Thank you Sir Zhang for your kindness."
"Please."
Su Qingwu stood on the spot and looked in the direction of Mu Yunyao: "Speaking of which, I have a private matter. I don't know if Miss Mu, who spreads embroidery to Jingling City, is there?"
In Mu Yunyao's heart that just calmed down, hatred surged again, she pinched her palm fiercely, trying her best to keep herself calm.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking over, she walked to Su Qingwu step by step. With each step, the hostility in her heart increased by a point, but the expression on her face was just the opposite, with a gentle smile a little bit: "People's daughter Mu Yunyao has seen Master Su."
Seeing Mu Yunyao, Su Qingwu's eyes flashed with surprise, he didn't expect Mu Yunyao to be so young.
She was wearing an apricot-colored horse-faced dress, embroidered with the moonlight of the lotus pond. At this moment, she was standing gracefully, like a slim lotus bud, with a charming and graceful body all over her body, as if gathered together It captures the aura of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River.
Su Qingwu quickly restrained the strange color in his heart, and said warmly: "Miss Mu doesn't need to be too polite. I heard that the embroidery skills of the girl are unparalleled. I wonder if I can get a screen from the girl and give it to my grandmother as a birthday present."
"Master Su asked, and I shouldn't have refused, but I can't move needles and needles recently, and I'm going to disappoint Master Su."
"Why is this?" Su Qingwu looked at Mu Yunyao, she lowered her eyes from beginning to end, her long eyelashes were like small fans on both sides, and the sun fell, as if there were colorful rays of light shining, which is so common at a young age. The beautiful color made him feel a lot less unhappy about being rejected.
Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand, with a bloodstain on her palm, and she was extremely meditative on her white jade-like skin: "I hurt my hand some time ago, please forgive me, Master Su."
"It turns out that it was Su who was abrupt. It's a pity..."
Mu Yunyao bowed her knees and bowed, then stepped back behind Mrs. Jin, bowing her head slightly and said nothing. Su Qingwu glanced at her again, and after retracting his gaze, his eyebrows moved slightly. For some reason, just now facing Mu Yunyao, he always felt an indescribable sense of disobedience, which made him unable to stop caring.
