Under the moonlight, Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu were walking side by side. Seeing his pretty little face still looking angry, Xiao Mubai laughed, as if he should be the one who should be angry.
It was obviously what he was... interrupted.
When Xia Chu heard him chuckle, she turned her head and said: "You are still laughing. The tree we were on was almost turned into a bald spot by the two of them."
Xiao Mubai marveled in his heart, what made his daughter's family angry was really strange. He wanted to say that it was already the beginning of autumn, and even if he didn't pluck it, the leaves would still fall.
But after looking at Xia Chu's face, she decisively swallowed what she said in her heart, and followed him in an angry gesture: "Indeed, they should be punished properly. Isn't two hours too short?"
Xia Chu rolled his eyes, looking disgusted with his pretentious and exaggerated performance.
Xiao Mubai happened to remember something, so he changed the subject and asked, "How is Guo Weidong doing now?"
Xia Chu was thoughtful after he mentioned it: "Neither my grandpa nor my cousin mentioned him to me, so it should be the same as before. Tomorrow I plan to invite my cousin and cousin-in-law to have dinner at the Hou Mansion. Then I will Asking him."
Xiao Mubai frowned lightly and said with dissatisfaction, "You don't invite me either?"
Xia Chu glanced at him and scolded him: "Why don't you invite me to your own home? It's pretentious!"
Xiao Mubai was startled for a moment, and then gave a touching and beautiful smile. However, he was still on the horse at this time, otherwise he really wanted to rub her into his arms and finish what he had just interrupted...
When he thought of this, a touch of anxiety arose in his heart. He turned his head and glanced in the direction Han Sa was following, and a chilling coldness flashed in his eyes.
Han Sa was startled to feel an inexplicable chill coming from in front of him. He couldn't help but shudder in the air, and then the chill disappeared, making him think that he had just hallucinated.
When Xia Chu returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already a quarter past three o'clock, and the sky was already glowing with light gray. When he saw that the candles in Su Qian'an's room next door were not extinguished, he went up and knocked on the door.
Su Qian'an opened the door with a sad face, and when she saw him, she quickly turned sideways to let him in.
Xia Chu sat down and saw that he was listless and asked, "Is Qian Le still in a bad mood?"
Su Qian'an sat down next to him and nodded: "I didn't even ask her. She was crying hard. I don't know how to comfort the girl. I could only cry with her and fall asleep. I just returned to the room."
Xia Chu held his head against the pain and gently tapped the table with his other hand.
Su Qian'an hesitated and looked at Xia Chu: "Master, do you know what happened to Qian Le?"
Xia Chu raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes filled with embarrassment, which made him open his mouth.
Su Qian'an saw him open and close his mouth several times, her heart beating wildly as he closed and closed her mouth.
"Tomorrow, you go to General Zhao's Mansion and ask my cousin to bring his cousin-in-law to have dinner with him. You can also ask Miss Huo to enlighten and comfort Qian Le. It's only at your daughter's house that you can talk." Xia Chu tapped his index finger. After sitting on the table for a long time and brewing emotions for a long time, he finally swallowed those unspeakable words and gave Su Qian'an instructions.
Su Qian'an thought about it and felt that it made sense, and responded gratefully: "Yes, the young master is still thoughtful."
Xia Chu pinched his eyebrows, stood up and said to him: "Don't think about it, I can't figure it out anyway, just rest early."
Su Qian'an said yes again, and saw that he was leaving and quickly got up to see him off.
Xia Chu waved to him, opened the door and closed it for him before returning to his room.
Xia Chu looked at the sky, but after staying in Su Qian'an's room for a while, the sky was already dim. He turned around, opened the door of his room, and walked towards the bronze mirror in the southwest corner.
In the bronze mirror, the young man's skin is like snow, his starry eyes are lively, his dark hair and jade hairpin, and a little light pink hairpin make his originally pure and beautiful face become more and more lively.
The corners of Xia Chu's lips curled into a slight upward arc, and she stretched out her hand to pull out the mutton-fat jade plum blossom hairpin. A head of green hair fell straight behind her, and a few strands of hair hung in front, quietly sticking to him. on the cheek.
Xia Chu leaned against the window and looked at the plum blossom hairpin carefully in the faint early morning light. When he was by the lake before, he was distracted by Xiao Mubai's face approaching him, and he didn't even have time to do so. As soon as he saw it, he slapped it on his head.
The body of the hairpin is made of the finest mutton-fat jade. Not to mention the exquisite carving of the hairpin, the jade material itself is extremely precious. The jade of this hairpin body is as smooth as cut fat.
He originally thought that the pink Dushan jade cherry blossom basket he bought for Lan Yuying in Liang State was already rare in the world.
I never thought that the plum blossom hairpin in his hand was just as good as Duo Yi. The jade material was hard-to-find Dushan jade, but the carving of this plum blossom was more unique and exquisite than that of the cherry blossom.
He felt that the carving looked particularly familiar. The petals did not look like the usual shapes, but instead had hollow shapes that were flowing with brilliance.
As the first ray of morning light shines in through the hollows of the petals, and is refracted from the hollows, a thousand layers of brilliance cannot be described.
Xia Chu took a deep breath and finally remembered this familiar carving. How could he forget that this was the dragon-shaped jade that Xiao Yanjun was wearing now.
He was deeply impressed by the jade pendant because of the dragon scales on the jade pendant, which were hollow and reflected light.
Xia Chu closed her eyes, feeling dull in her heart.
No wonder Han Sa said that when he went to Prince Mo's Mansion to look for him during the day, he just fell asleep not long ago.
It turns out that Xiao Mubai, who has been tinkering with mysterious things all these days, stayed up all night last night just to carve a plum blossom hairpin for him today.
Xia Chu pinched the center of his eyebrows, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright. He suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a word in the center of the stamen. He brought the plum blossom hairpin to his eyes and examined it carefully, only to see that it turned out to be the word "chu". .
Xia Chu felt sour in her heart. No wonder Xiao Yanjun was particularly wary of Xiao Mubai in his previous life.
He was afraid that Xia Chu would come into contact with him, and he felt guilty because he had robbed someone else's things.
Xia Chu couldn't help but recall the scene in his previous life when Xiao Yanjun broke his tendons and hamstrings.
He smiled ferociously, with a terrifying expression on his face. It turned out that a face like a lotus root could also chill people's hearts.
The corners of Xiao Yanjun's mouth curled into a blade-like arc, and a cold dagger rested on his wrist: "You said that you studied medicine since you were a child to cure my cold poison, so I picked on your tendons."
Xia Chu didn't shout or cry. He just looked at Xiao Yanjun silently with a confused expression.
When Xiao Yanjun saw that he remained silent, his emotions became even more out of control, and he shouted hysterically: "You said that you have practiced Qinggong hard since you were a child just to be able to come down the mountain to see me, so I picked on your hamstring."
Xia Chu's veins and veins were all severed and all thoughts were lost. He looked at Xiao Yanjun, who had a handsome face but seemed to be crazy in his behavior and asked three words softly: "Why?"
