The sun sets in the west, and the withered vines and crows dim.
When the sun goes down, there are no people on the official road.
There was a slow sound of horse hooves in the distance, and gradually a team of people came from the end of the official road. At the end of the team, there was a carriage piled with various items.
Mu Qingge rode in the front, looking up at the city wall in the distance that became magnificent in the sunset, and couldn't help but say: "Luo Du, I'm back!" '
On this trip, he went to the Shengyuan Empire, to the Rong Kingdom, then to the Ancient Witch Kingdom, then back to the Li Kingdom, and finally returned to the Qin Kingdom. After going around and around, we have actually passed through the late autumn and cold winter, and directly entered the early spring in Luodu.
"It's been more than four months, and I don't know how your grandfather is doing or whether he can take care of himself." Mu Lianrong rode up to Mu Qingge and sighed with the same emotion.
Mu Qingge turned to look at her and grinned: "Grandpa will be very happy to know that you brought a husband home."
"Bad girl, you actually made fun of my aunt." Mu Lianrong scolded with a smile. But his expression is no longer as shy as before.
More than a month ago, they set off from the ancient Wu Kingdom and returned to the Qin Kingdom.
When arriving at the Li Kingdom, the troops were divided into two groups, and Mo Yang summoned a team of Longya Guards to escort Shang Zisu back to the Yaota Branch of the Yu Kingdom. Calculating the time, Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing should also return to the branch hospital from the main hospital.
The original plan was to bring Shang Zisu back to the Qin State, because Lou Chuanbai was also in the Qin State. I just didn't want to, but when I left the ancient witch country, news came from the Qin State that Lou Chuanbai knew that Mei Zizhong and the others had returned to the country, so he bid farewell to the Mu Mansion and returned to the Yaota Branch.
In this way, there is no need for Shang Zisu to take a detour to Qin State, and he can return directly from Li State to Yu State.
And they continued to head towards Qin.
Along the way, there was no rush or slowness, but it was calm. After walking for almost a month, we finally arrived at the gates of Luodu.
Gradually, it was getting closer and closer to the time for the city gate to close. The people who lived outside the city quickened their pace and left the city quickly. The evening drum finally struck—
The sound of "dong dong dong" spread to the sky, and the heavy city gate slowly closed. Behind the door, the soldiers guarding the city all pushed the city gate in a tacit understanding to close it.
Just when the city gate was just a hair away from closing, someone suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, we are going into the city."
The people inside stopped when they heard the sound, but the door did not open. Instead, someone shouted: "The time to enter the city has passed, you can come back tomorrow!"
After that, the city gate continued to close.
The person who called the door frowned slightly and shouted again: "Young Master Mu Mansion is back, please open the door quickly!"
"Little Sir?"
"The young lord is back?"
Behind the door, there was excited discussion.
The door, which was about to close, was finally opened. A captain stepped out of the door and looked at the person who called the door.
Here comes someone, riding a big horse...
The captain squinted carefully and his eyes suddenly widened!
It's not an ordinary horse, it's a spiritual beast Yanma, the mount of the young Lord Longya's bodyguard!
Upon discovering this, the captain immediately shouted behind him, "Hurry, open the city gate and welcome the young lord back to the capital!"
After saying that, the city gate behind him slowly opened. And he walked quickly to the visitor and said respectfully: "May I ask, sir, where is the young lord?"
Longya Guard said sternly: "The young lord is right behind and will be there soon."
"Yes, yes, yes..." The team leader did not dare to ask any more questions.
At this time, the door behind him had been completely opened, and the garrison soldiers inside also stood up one after another. The team leader summoned someone to give instructions, and the latter quickly ran towards the city wall.
After a while, the general guarding the city quickly ran down the city wall with the remaining people.
…
When Mu Qingge came to the city wall, he saw a team of four to five hundred people, all kneeling on both sides of the city gate. The man in general uniform stood in the middle.
As soon as she appeared, the general guarding the city recognized her immediately and hurriedly saluted with clasped fists: "General Li Gui and his men are here to welcome the young lord back to the capital!"
After that, the sergeants on the left and right shouted in unison: "Welcome the young lord back to the capital!"
"Congratulations to welcome the young lord back to the capital!"
"Congratulations to welcome the young lord back to the capital!"
The uniform shouts, the same excited expressions, and the extraordinary pomp made Xue Qiao stunned. He approached Mu Qingge and whispered, "Qingge, your pomp is comparable to that of an emperor!"
Mu Qingge smiled and said nothing more.
She said to the general guarding the city, Li Gui, "General Li, you're welcome."
The simplest greeting almost made Li Gui's old face smile like a flower. After saying this, Mu Qingge rode Hei Yan towards the city.
It wasn't until she was almost out of the city gate that she said faintly: "The soldiers have worked hard to defend the city, and each of them will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."
The reward from heaven made hundreds of people outside the city gate overjoyed.
They knelt down again and said to Mu Qingge's back, "Thank you, young lord, for the gift!"
Feeling the Qin soldiers' admiration for Mu Qingge, Xue Qiao couldn't help but shake his head and said to his wife beside him: "The prestige of your Mu family is probably even greater than that of the royal family!"
This sentence does not have any heart-breaking meaning, but rather states the facts.
Therefore, Mu Lianrong also said proudly: "Because our family has a little prince!"
After entering Luodu, most of the shops had already closed, and the people had gone home to cook and rest. There were not many people on the streets. The group of people walked towards Mu Mansion.
They did not inform Mu Xiong in advance of the specific time of their return this time, just to give him a surprise.
The gifts pulled in the car were all kinds of things that Xue Qiao purchased along the way from the ancient Wu Kingdom to the Qin Kingdom to please his father-in-law. After all, he married his daughter without his permission. If he doesn’t bow his head and admit his mistake, he may have a difficult life in the future!
After Mu Qingge and his party left the city gate, Li Gui hurriedly woke up and said, "Quickly, send someone to the palace to report to His Majesty that the young master is back today!"
After saying that, Li Gui's expression became complicated.
Since the day the young lord left, the emperor has issued an order to all the generals guarding the city gates. Anyone at the four city gates who see the young lord returning must immediately report to the palace.
The relationship between the monarch and his ministers is obviously extraordinary.
…
"We're here." Mu Qingge saw several plaques outside the door of Mu Mansion again.
It seems that every time I come back, I have a different feeling.
Everyone dismounted one after another. The general guarding the gate recognized a few people and immediately became happy.
They wanted to enter the house to report to their husband, but were stopped by Mu Qingge.
Afterwards, a group of people quietly entered Mu's mansion.
Mu Mansion, Mu Xiong's courtyard. In early spring, the yard is surrounded by greenery and filled with all kinds of flowers and plants. It was already dusk, but Mu Xiong had not gone back to his room to rest. He was still standing in the courtyard, pruning the flowers and plants in his hands with relish.
You He and Hua Yue were accompanying him. Seeing his intoxicated look, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.
Huayue turned around and went back to her room to get some unlined clothes.
Youhe stepped forward and persuaded: "Sir, it's getting late. Let's take a rest and prepare for dinner."
Without turning his head, Mu Xiong waved his hands and said, "What's the hurry? My old man will eat alone anyway, it doesn't matter if it's early or late." After saying that, he sighed to himself with emotion: "What's so delicious about eating alone. "
Huayue came out with her unlined clothes. At this moment, a person walked out of the doorway.
She looked over intently, and when she saw the man's eyes clearly, her soft eyes immediately burst into ecstasy. She opened her mouth to scream, but Mu Qingge raised her hand to stop her.
Mu Qingge walked up to Huayue with light steps and took the single clothes from her hand.
Huayue was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Mu Qingge patted her cheek and comforted her before walking towards Mu Xiong.
Ahead, Youhe was still persuading you carefully, "My dear sir, these servants are left by the young master to take care of you. If you don't eat on time, when the young master comes back, the servants will have to report truthfully."
Mu Xiong hummed and said angrily: "If that girl really has an old man like me in her heart, then come back and have a meal with me!"
Suddenly, he felt clothes being draped behind him.
There was also a very familiar voice: "Okay, I will eat with grandpa today."
Mu Xiong was startled.
Youhe saw the person coming clearly and said in surprise: "Little Sir!"
Mu Qingge smiled and said to her and Hua Yue, who hurried over, "You have worked hard these days."
The two maids shook their heads quickly, with tears in their eyes. They were all happy to see Mu Qingge back.
Mu Xiong turned around stiffly, and finally saw clearly the longing face. His voice was trembling a little, but he said in a strong tone: "Humph, you know you're back?"
Mu Qingge smiled: "I know."
"How long will it take to come back this time?" Mu Xiong asked in a stiff voice.
Mu Qingge thought about it seriously and said, "At least I have to stay with you. If grandpa feels annoyed, I'll leave again."
"Funny words!" Mu Xiong scolded with a smile.
After that, he said with mixed feelings: "Okay, it'll be good to come back. It'll be good to come back." He looked at Mu Qingge carefully, as if he wanted to see whether she had lost weight, was tired, or had been wronged outside.
Mu Qingge let him look at her with a smile on her lips.
After a long time, Mu Xiong finally felt relieved and said, "Fortunately, I don't seem to have suffered any grievances."
"Grandpa, don't you trust me yet? Only others have suffered in front of me. How have I ever suffered?" Mu Qingge laughed.
"Don't be arrogant and complacent." Mu Xiong pointed at the tip of her nose and scolded her lovingly.
"I know." Mu Qingge obeyed.
"Now that I'm back, I have an appetite to eat. Let's go and have dinner with grandpa." Mu Xiong threw away the scissors in his hand and said with a hearty smile.
With that said, he gave instructions to young He Huayue: "Two girls, go and inform the chef that the young master is coming home today and ask him to serve some more of his specialty dishes. We, grandson and grandson, need to have a few drinks."
"yes."
You He and Hua Yue both happily agreed.
Mu Qingge added: "Ask the chef to cook more dishes. Just adding one or two plates may not be enough."
"Ge'er, your appetite increased after you went out?" Mu Xiong said in surprise.
Youhe and Huayue are also a little curious.
But they were even more worried that if they were not around to serve him, the young prince would not be able to dress well or eat enough, so he would have a huge appetite when he came back.
Mu Qingge didn't know what they were thinking, but she just smiled and said to Mu Xiong, "Grandpa, I'm not the only one coming back this time."
After saying that, she looked towards the doorway.
Mu Xiong also raised his eyes and after a while, another person walked out of the doorway.
"Miss Chang!"
"Miss Chang!"
Youhe and Huayue leaned over and shouted.
Mu Lianrong nodded to them and walked towards her father.
When Mu Xiong saw his daughter returning, his old eyes lit up with joy. He grabbed the hands handed over by his daughter, held them tightly and said, "How come you two met each other? Since you came back together, you didn't even send a letter to inform in advance. Hum. .”
Mu Lianrong smiled and said: "Father, don't be angry, don't we want to give you a surprise?"
"Surprise? I think you two are trying to laugh at me." Mu Xiong snorted.
Mu Lianrong and Mu Qingge looked at each other and smiled, and the family was enjoying themselves.
Even though they have lost a lot, this moment is still beautiful.
"How's it going? It's your first time traveling, have you encountered anything interesting, and can you adapt to it?" Mu Xiong asked with concern.
Mu Lianrong is different from Mu Qingge. The latter has been dressed as a man since he was a child, raised as a man, and became the overlord of Luodu at a young age. He didn't leave Qin once or twice, and considering his own abilities, Mu Xiong wasn't particularly worried. On the contrary, Mu Lianrong grew up beside him and never left Qin. It’s my first time traveling and if I’m a father, I’m not worried. That’s a lie.
Mu Lianrong smiled and said: "I'm very good. The outside world is very big, and I have indeed met many interesting people and things."
"Where did you two meet?" Mu Xiong asked suspiciously.
From the information he knew, his granddaughter and daughter were not walking in the same direction at all.
"In the ancient witch country." Mu Lianrong replied.
Mu Qingge suddenly laughed, looked outside the door, and said to Mu Lianrong: "Auntie, how long do you want someone to wait outside? If you are embarrassed to say it, I will tell you for you?"
"Qingge!" Mu Lianrong's eyes flickered and her expression became embarrassed.
Mu Xiong saw the clue and asked, "Oh? Who is outside?"
When he shouted, Mu Lianrong and Mu Qingge didn't think anything, but Xue Qiao outside the door couldn't stand any longer, so they had to walk out of the shadows, stood outside the doorway, and bowed their hands to Mu Xiong respectfully: " My son-in-law, Xue Qiao, pays homage to my father-in-law!"
His words made everyone in the courtyard react differently.
Mu Xiong was like a lightning strike, while Mu Lianrong was unbearably shy. Youhe and Huayue were so shocked that they covered their lips with their hands, while Mu Qingge was the only one watching the show with a smile.
"You, you, you... what did you say?" Mu Xiong pointed at him and said in a trembling tone.
Xue Qiao could only endure the uneasiness in her heart, and said it again: "Xue Qiao, my son-in-law, pay my respects to my father-in-law!"
This time, Mu Xiong heard clearly. He rolled his stiff neck, looked at Mu Lianrong, widened his eyes and asked, "You're going to marry yourself off right now?"
"Dad!" Mu Lianrong was ashamed and angry, and stamped her feet angrily.
What did my father say? It seems like how much I hate getting married.
She couldn't be angry with her father, so she could only burn this fire on Xue Qiao's head.
"Ahem." Mu Xiong ignored her at this moment, and just looked at Xue Qiao with a straight face, acting like his father-in-law. "Who do you think you are? How did you meet my daughter? Who else is there in your family? What do you do for a living now..."
With a bang, Mu Xiong asked a lot of questions.
Xue Qiao was dripping with cold sweat after hearing this, but she didn't dare to be perfunctory. She wrote everything down respectfully and answered carefully one by one.
I went through each answer in my mind several times, and then I dared to tell Mu Xiong only after I was sure it was all right.
After he finished speaking, Mu Xiong wanted to ask again.
Mu Qingge said in time: "Grandpa, it's getting late, let's eat first. If you have anything to say, it's the same as saying it while eating. After all, the visitor is a guest."
Mu Xiong was stunned, glared at her, and could only say: "Okay, let's eat first."
On the way, Mu Qingge walked in front with Mu Xiong, and Mu Lianrong and Xue Qiao walked in the back.
Seeing the depression on Mu Xiong's face, Mu Qingge whispered, "Grandpa, what are you doing? Are you not happy that your aunt is getting married?"
Mu Xiong's face stiffened and he said in a low voice: "How can I be unhappy that your aunt can find a husband? It's just that this is too sudden. I don't know what kind of character this Xue is."
"Grandpa, don't you still believe in your aunt's vision?" Mu Qingge said with a smile: "Just think about it, your aunt is getting married, and she will definitely give you a grandson in a short time. How great is that?"
As soon as he heard the word 'grandson', Mu Xiong's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he looked at Xue Qiao again, he was a little more pleasing to the eye.
However, when he looked at Mu Qingge, the impatient expression on his face calmed down, and he snorted dissatisfiedly: "I don't think I can hope for more here. Fortunately, you still have your aunt. No, I want it later. I had a good talk with the boy named Xue that Lian Rong’s future children, regardless of male or female, must have one named Mu!"
…
"You said you are from the second-class country Yu?" Mu Xiong confirmed again.
The dinner was a pleasant one, and after three drinks, Mu Xiong slowly accepted this sudden appearance of his son-in-law. However, he still has his own worries.
Xue Qiao nodded.
Mu Xiong frowned and said, "Will your family agree to your marriage?" As he said that, he looked at Mu Lianrong with a hint of worry in his eyes.
It's not that he thinks his daughter is not worthy of Xue Qiao, but that there is a gap between third-class countries and second-class countries.
In addition, her daughter is a bit older. With Xue Qiao's talent and appearance, she will definitely not have to worry about getting a wife in the Yu Kingdom. Can the Xue family accept a daughter-in-law like their own daughter
Mu Xiong's words made Mu Lianrong lower her eyes and put down the chopsticks in her hands.
Seeing this, Xue Qiao hurriedly grabbed her little hand and assured Mu Xiong: "My parents are very open-minded and will definitely like Lian Rong. Besides, this is my own marriage. Who is the most suitable to be my wife? I said It's up to you. Father-in-law, I'm here just to get your consent. After a while, I will take Lian Rong to the Xue family of Yu State and personally explain everything to the elders in the family. Don't worry, I will never be wronged. I know Lianrong, and I won’t let her down!"
Xue Qiao's words restored Mu Lianrong's confidence.
Mu Xiong also nodded with a little peace of mind: "Okay, I believe what you say. But here's my ugly talk, if you dare to let Lian Rong down and make her suffer. I don't care whether you are a first-class country or a second-class country. country, and no matter how powerful your Xue family is in the Yu Kingdom, the cavalry of my Mu family army will crush the Xue family and seek justice for my daughter!"
Xue Qiao looked startled, then took a breath and reassured: "Don't worry, father-in-law, that day won't happen!"
"Okay! Drink!" Mu Xiong picked up the wine bowl.
Xue Qiao immediately picked up the wine bowl in front of him, touched it lightly with Mu Xiong, and drank in one gulp.
After that, several people began to discuss the details of Mu Lianrong's marriage in Qin.
According to Mu Lianrong's wishes, she was unwilling to marry far away. Because I can't worry about my old father, I also feel intimidated by the Xue family's family background, and I don't want to be restrained.
Fortunately, Xue Qiao understood her thoughts. He promised that they would only go to Yu State to inform him about the marriage. After everything was settled, the two of them came back to stay with Mu Xiong, and then continued traveling and settled in the Mu Mansion of Qin State.
Seeing that he couldn't get involved in the topic the three of them were talking about, Mu Qingge quietly withdrew.
…
Luodu at night became hazy.
Located in the center of the imperial city, on a high tower, Qin Jinchen stood alone, overlooking the direction of Mu Mansion. Behind him stood the ancient master who had followed him all the way, as well as the palace chamberlain.
The dragon robe on his body gave him a bit of majesty as a king. Some of the alienation and loneliness faded away.
Of course, he didn't feel happy.
It seems that the great rivers and mountains at his feet are just his responsibility, not what he wants.
In the evening, he received a report from the city gate.
He is back-
When he learned the news, Qin Jinchen suddenly felt that his life had become colorful, which gave him expectations. However, he didn't know how to see him.
Summoned as the emperor
Or invite as a friend
friend
Qin Jinchen lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly. Are the two of them friends? Even he wasn't sure.
The most important thing is that he found that he was actually a little afraid of seeing him.
On the table in his imperial study, there were piles of memorials begging him to choose a concubine and establish a queen, but he ignored them all. For what purpose, only he knew clearly.
Because whenever he saw the appeals in these memorials, Mu Qingge would appear in his mind.
'I will never do anything to disgrace him! Qin Jinchen tightened her hand on the railing.
His body is much better than before, and he can even start practicing. Although he has missed the best period of cultivation, he is still working hard.
For what purpose, he seemed to know, but he seemed not to know.
Qin Jinchen has always been a person who is extremely self-controlled and self-disciplined. When he realized that he had an unwanted affection for Mu Qingge, he had already started to keep the distance between them.
He didn't want to, and he didn't want to destroy the fragile relationship between the two because of his greed.
The night wind picked up and picked up the corners of Qin Jinchen's dragon robe.
The chamberlain took a step forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the wind is blowing."
Qin Jinchen nodded almost imperceptibly and whispered softly: "Go back to the palace."
…
At night in Luodu, the most lively places are the flower streets and willow alleys. All other businesses are closed, and only this place has just opened its doors for business.
The most popular shop in Luodu is called Zuihonglou.
As soon as night falls, people of all kinds begin to gather here, making it as lively as daytime.
Girls all dressed up in gorgeous clothes were leaning outside the door, throwing handkerchiefs and winking at the men passing by.
Of course, these are just the most ordinary girls in the store.
Those girls with outstanding talents and beauty are all hidden in the boudoir, waiting to be sold at a high price.
Tonight, Zuihonglou was particularly lively. It was still early and it was already overcrowded.
It’s not for anything else, just because tonight the most popular courtesan in the past few months is going to auction off her first night, which naturally attracts those self-proclaimed romantic young men to come and bid.
"Hey~! Mr. Shao is here! Girls, Mr. Shao is here, why don't you come out to wait on him!"
When a big meat ball rolled in from the gate, the madam greeted him with a flattering look on his face. The strong smell of powder on her body made people uncomfortable, but Fatty Shao enjoyed it very much.
After a while, two exquisite and beautiful girls came to Fatty Shao's side, snuggled into his arms familiarly, and flirted with him.
The three of them sat together for a while, then Fatty Shao raised his head and said to the Madam: "Tonight, Miss Yaotao is going to have her first night. I am bound to get it. Madam, you have to make good arrangements for me."
The dandy look on his face has become more and more profound during this time.
The old bustard twisted his waist and said: "Hey, Mr. Shao is right. If you can take a picture of Yaotao's first night, won't I arrange it well? But, you also know that we Yaotao are very arrogant, and it took a lot of effort to do so." I agree to hand over this first night, but I can't control what kind of guest she wants to choose."
"Tsk, tsk, so it won't be as simple as the highest bidder tonight?" Fatty Shao said, pinching his teeth.
The old madam apologized and winked at the two women serving Fatty Shao: "It all depends on Yaotao's thoughts. Master Shao, please take a seat. I have prepared the best seat for you. I guarantee that Yaotao can see it at a glance." you."
Fatty Shao's mung bean-sized eyes suddenly narrowed into a thin line, he took out a piece of silver and threw it into the hands of the madam: "If you know how to do things, I will reward you!"
The Madam suddenly beamed, nodded and bowed to Fatty Shao, and sent him into the Zuihong Mansion. He turned around and started greeting other guests.
The Zuihong Mansion has already been decorated with a very festive atmosphere.
For such a leather butcher shop, every girl who signs up for the brand feels as happy as if she were getting married on her first night.
Therefore, in the lobby, red silk flowers, red candles and gold tents are hung everywhere.
The platform in the lobby that used to be used for singing and dancing was filled with flowers. The surrounding seats were already filled with guests and girls accompanying them. Some people couldn't bear it and had already hugged the serving girl and walked to the bedroom in the backyard.
The private seats on the second floor are divided into small single rooms. The platform can be seen from the front, while the left and right behind are blocked by screens, so they cannot see each other.
Fatty Shao was led by two young ladies to the single room in the middle of the second floor.
Inside, there is a comfortable lounge chair, and there is a round table next to the lounge chair. The round table is already filled with fine wine, melons and fruits. Further away, there are two armchairs, where the little lady singing can sit and play music.
On the side facing the lobby, there is a thick light-blocking curtain. The only function is to drop it as a cover-up when the guests inside can't bear it anymore and want to go to Wushan Yunyu with the serving woman.
As soon as Fatty Shao came in, he leaned on the recliner.
The recliner under him suddenly let out a painful groan.
He put his legs together, and the two little ladies understood immediately. One person walked forward, knelt on the carpet, and kneaded his legs and feet. The other person filled the wine glass with wine and handed it to Fatty Shao's mouth.
As long as he opens his mouth, he can drink it.
He took a sip of the wine the beauty gave him and ate a grape the beauty gave him. Fatty Shao felt very comfortable, but he was still thinking about Yaotao. He opened his mouth and asked, "When will this girl Yaotao come out?"
The two women complained angrily that Fatty Shao didn't know how to show mercy to women, but they still answered his questions honestly.
"Looking at the current time, Sister Yaotao should be out in less than a quarter of an hour."
Fatty Shao nodded and continued to enjoy the beauties' service.
After a while, the elegant seats on the second floor were also occupied by young men from various aristocratic families, and the scattered seats below were even more crowded. There were also many people who came late and could not find a seat, so they stood in the back.
This shows Yaotao's status in the hearts of men in Luodu.
While waiting, a blushing voice came from the compartments to the left and right of Fatty Shao.
The two young ladies were so shy that they looked at Fatty Shao with misty eyes, full of love.
However, Fatty Shao snorted disdainfully: "Beast."
These two words immediately embarrassed the two young ladies.
when!
In the lobby downstairs, a gong sounded.
This means that Miss Yaotao is coming out and the bidding is about to begin.
The voices around Fatty Shao fell silent, as if Yaotao's appearance had caused them to end the battle early.
The maids in Zuihonglou lit the candles in the lobby even brighter. Make the stage shine.
"Sister Yaotao is coming out," said the young lady behind Fatty Shao.
Fatty Shao stretched his neck and took a look. Sure enough, a slim beauty walked gracefully from behind the stage. The beauty's face is covered with gauze, but it can't hide the countless charms between her eyebrows.
Her graceful figure alone was enough to make the blood of the men present boil.
I saw her walking to the stage and facing the crowd of men who came to support her. Her body like a willow made everyone want to step forward to help her.
"Yao Tao would like to thank everyone for coming to support me. To thank you, Yaotao will play and dance for everyone." After that, she walked towards the piano stand behind her.
There is a talent show before the official bidding, which is a plus.
Showing your own value will win you a better price.
Therefore, everyone present understood it very well and applauded.
After Yaotao sat down, she placed her hands lightly on the guqin, and the hanging gauze slowly lowered, blocking her figure. Everyone could only see her blurry figure strumming the strings from behind, and a beautiful piece of music slowly flowed out of her hands.
In an instant, everyone was mesmerized by what he heard.
Fatty Shao was listening with interest when he suddenly felt someone kick him hard.
He opened his eyes suddenly, but the anger in his eyes had not yet burst out, but because he saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, it suddenly turned into surprise.
"Boss!" Fatty Shao stood up nimbly. Regardless of the two surprised ladies, he looked at the man who smiled at him and said, "Boss, when did you come back? How did you know I'm here?"
Mu Qingge put her hands behind her back, raised her lips, and said to Fatty Shao, "Where else can your kid be at night other than these places?"
"Hehe, the boss still understands me!" Fatty Shao scratched his head and giggled.
Then, he hurriedly asked Mu Qingge to sit on the recliner, while he honestly moved an armchair and sat aside, peeling fruit for Mu Qingge, pouring wine, and stealing the work of the two young ladies.
The two young ladies stood aside tremblingly, like quails. They couldn't hear a word of the songs played outside. They just looked at Mu Qingge and said with their hearts beating like drums: "Little... little lord..."
Mu Qingge glanced at them sideways and said softly, "Hmm."
When she came out of Mu Mansion, she planned to meet Fatty Shao. Later on, I heard on the way that there was an oiran auctioning off her first night at Zuihonglou tonight, so I guessed that Fatty Shao was here, so I came over.
"Boss, when did you come back?" Fatty Shao's thoughts were all on Mu Qingge at the moment, and he couldn't care less about Yaotao's performance.
At this moment, Yaotao's song was enough to win applause.
Mu Qingge took the glass, took a sip, and replied, "It's been less than three hours since I've been back."
"Hehe, I'm so flattered that the boss came to see me right after he came back!" Fatty Shao said with a silly smile.
Mu Qingge held the wine glass, pointed at Yaotao, and looked at him sideways: "What? Are you attracted to her?"
Only then did Fatty Shao remember the purpose of coming here. He glanced at Yaotao and introduced to Mu Qingge enthusiastically: "Boss, you don't know. In the past few months, this girl Yaotao has been very popular. Tonight She was filming her first night, how could I not come to support her?"
Mu Qingge smiled jokingly, saying that she would not interfere too much in Fatty Shao's private life.
On the stage, Yaotao finished playing a song and started dancing gracefully again.
Mu Qingge and Fatty Shao were chatting and watching with great interest.
Finally, after the warm-up talent show was over, everyone began to urge the bidding to begin.
However, Yaotao suddenly said calmly: "Although Yaotao is a promiscuous woman, she also has people who admire her. I know that with my status, I am absolutely not worthy of him, but I just want to hand over my innocent body to him. After that, it’s all gone but my wish is gone.”
As soon as this statement comes out, smart people will understand it.
I'm sorry, this girl Yaotao's first night is not for bidding, but for her sweetheart? These people are just foils.
Suddenly, the crowd was furious.
When the Madam saw this, she felt anxious and rushed to the stage to stop Yaotao from continuing.
However, Yaotao shook off the old bustard's pull and said loudly: "My lord, this little girl has admired you for a long time and has volunteered to wait for your return with her innocent body. If someone forces her, she would rather die than taint this body! "
As soon as Yaotao's words came out, Mu Qingge narrowed his eyes and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone in the lobby, the distinguished guests on the second floor, and the madam all froze at the same time.
No one expected that the person Yaotao liked was the one from Mu Mansion!
That young master must not be provoked. Yaotao has labeled herself as the young master of the Mu family. Who dares to force her? Aren't you afraid that if things get really big, that man will come back and chop himself up alive
It was quiet on and off the field.
There was a hint of joy in Yaotao's lowered eyes, as if she had achieved her goal.
However, she didn't know that the person she was using as a shield was sitting in a private seat on the second floor.
"Boss, do you know her?" Fatty Shao asked Mu Qingge in surprise.
Mu Qingge's smile was full of teasing, and she said lightly: "I don't know him."
do not know
Fatty Shao understood immediately and gave Mu Qingge a thumbs up: "Boss, your charm is unstoppable!"
The two young ladies standing on the side were confused, but that didn't stop them from secretly looking at Mu Qingge with eyes full of admiration.
Mu Qingge glanced at him and sneered: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Fatty Shao was stunned and didn't understand.
Mu Qingge sneered and said: "She is just using me as a shield. She doesn't want to serve guests, but she can't resist the pressure from the madam, so she can only give in. Now, making such a scene in front of everyone is to tell Everyone in Luodu, she is mine. Whether I know it or not, as long as someone takes her by force, they will not give me face and will suffer my revenge. In this case, who dares to provoke her? Even if it is The madam didn’t dare to embarrass her.”
After Mu Qingge's explanation, Fatty Shao also understood.
He slapped his thigh suddenly and sighed: "So cunning! This girl is very thoughtful!"
Mu Qingge looked at the two young ladies standing in the corner and asked, "She was unwilling before, right?"
The two young ladies hurriedly knelt on the ground, telling each other what happened before Yaotao.
It turns out that Yaotao had a childhood sweetheart when she was sold to Zuihong Mansion. It's just that the boy is not a big shot and cannot protect her. For the sake of chastity, Yaotao worked hard to learn art and wanted to support herself through art. She did not want to betray her sweetheart and sell her body.
But, where is Zuihonglou
How can one be willing to let Yaotao not sell herself
After Yaotao became famous, the madam began to persuade her to sell herself. She was always rejected by Yaotao, and finally the madam was cornered and threatened that if Yaotao didn't want to, she would never see her sweetheart again.
Yaotao had no choice but to compromise, and that's how we are today.
But I didn't expect that she would actually do it in public.
If the madam continued to force her, she would be offending the Mu family. Moreover, when she said this, who would dare to compete with Mr. Mu
"Hmph! How dare you take advantage of the boss! I must teach her a lesson!" Fatty Shao rolled up his sleeves and stood up with an angry look on his face.
"Fat man." Mu Qingge called out to Fat Shao, stopping him from coming forward.
Fatty Shao turned to look at her, his eyes full of confusion.
Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes and looked at Yaotao on the stage downstairs, wondering what she was thinking.
In the whole story, she seemed to only hear what the woman did for the so-called love, but what about the man? Why don't you see him trying hard enough
"Yao Tao, what are you talking about? Can you afford to offend the young lord?" the madam warned in a low voice.
When Mu Qingge came in, she didn't alert anyone, so she didn't know Mu Qingge was coming.
Yaotao's face turned pale, but she said with all her might, "Mom, I'm not lying. I really like the young lord, and I want to serve him with an innocent body all night."
The old bustard said angrily: "Everyone knows that the young master is not in Luodu now!"
Yaotao bit her lip and remained silent.
She just knew that that's why she dared to say this.
Suddenly, a contemptuous voice floated from the second floor: "Is Miss Yaotao using the young master to oppress us? You are taking us too seriously. Tonight, I insist on you accompanying me! Madam, I Give me a thousand taels!”
Yesterday, because of Her Majesty the Queen's words, 'Jingjing' became a hot topic in book reviews. It was really unexpected! 233333
