Sometimes a woman's gaze is like a sword cultivator's flying sword. At least in Mu Qing's view, Wang Xiuwei's disdainful gaze of "You don't need to explain, I know it" is really hard to hold on to for long. After asking for advice, he bit the bullet and asked for advice. , Mu Qing paid the money with an upright attitude like the autumn wind sweeping away the remaining clouds, lifted the packed things, and quickly walked out of the "Xiulan" shop.
Wang Xiuwei sent him out, and after watching Mu Qing's back go away, he returned to the shop. First, he arranged the furnishings of the shop for a while, and finally he slowly left the shop door ajar and returned to his residence behind the shop. .
Looking at the slim figure in front of him, Wang Xiu bowed slightly and shouted softly: "Master, why did you come out just now?"
Wang Yeqing turned around, frowning slightly with a pair of slender eyebrows like bamboo leaves, and said seriously: "Although this person's aura is well hidden, I can definitely see him that night."
Wang Xiuwei opened his eyes wide and murmured: "I just talked to this person. He should have a close relationship with the Liu family."
Wang Yeqing raised his slender eyebrows slightly, thinking of the person who was still in the Liu family, and said softly: "There were three people that night, and two of them directly rescued Bai Zhi and Li Miaozhen. This person was the last one who stayed. Very soon It is possible that he is also from the Lin family in Xishan."
Wang Xiuwei thought of what happened in recent days, looked at his master worriedly, and sighed: "Master, Master, will he... also be rescued?"
Wang Yeqing's eyes flashed with deep sadness and anger, but when he looked at Wang Xiuwei, there was unspeakable pity and love, "Xiaowei, how many times do I have to tell you, he is not your master."
Seeing Wang Xiuwei lowering his head and saying nothing, Wang Yeqing sighed and said: "As soon as there was any movement at Quanfu Bookstore, before the cook arrived at Jinguan City, I told him bluntly that the situation was extremely unfavorable for him and he was about to die. He wants to stay here anyway, saying that he doesn’t believe that the Dog Emperor would be like this, it’s really stupid to think about it.”
Wang Yeqing thought to himself: "Who asked me to assassinate Bai Ting back then? The Dog Emperor had not yet sat on the throne at that time. Now that the old things are happening again, is another round of reshuffle about to begin?"
Wang Yeqing looked up at the clear sky outside the eaves. She had not yet become the Tianbang assassin "Zhu Yeqing" at that time, but the mission to assassinate Bai Ting was the only mission she failed, and it was the only reason why she became what she is now. .
"Wei'er." Wang Yeqing liked her disciple whose true identity was her daughter very much, and after it was confirmed that Bai Ting was dead, she planned to keep this secret belonging to the three of them to herself.
"Ah, Mom, what's wrong?" Wang Xiuwei has been in Xiaohonglou since he was born. Since he was a child, the woman in front of him has been with him for a period of time every year, so as soon as he noticed Wang Yeqing's mood changes, or In front of outsiders, she prefers to call her "Ama" affectionately.
"You must have slacked off in the self-defense skills I taught you."
"Master, I don't have one."
Wang Xiuwei's name always changed so naturally that Wang Yeqing had no choice but to do so.
On the day when Wang Xiuwei was five years old, Wang Yeqing asked her to kneel in front of him with unusual solemnity and asked her to kowtow. At that time, the young Wang Xiuwei thought that Wang Yeqing would tell her the secret of her long-awaited desire to come true, such as that she was actually hers. The mother, in the end, asked her to become a teacher, saying that the world was in chaos and it was time to teach her some self-defense techniques for women.
It turned out that her talent was favored, but Wang Xiuwei was still very happy, because it meant that she and Wang Yeqing would spend longer together.
Because she is protected or well hidden, Wang Xiuwei has not used many self-defense techniques so far. She is already at the third level of cultivation, so she may not know that those close-quarter techniques that use softness to overcome strength are actually very useful for killing people. .
Wang Yeqing shook his head and said: "We can no longer stay in Jinguancheng. You go to Xiaohong Tower today to find your Aunt Liu and get back the things I left her."
Wang Xiuwei was thoughtful and asked: "Mom, are you going to find Bai Zhi? Do you know Mr. Ye Yun?"
"No." Wang Yeqing shook his head and said coldly: "Mr. Ye Yun, he hides it well. If it weren't for a few first-grade people, maybe he wouldn't be able to force her out."
"However, she is indeed very powerful." Wang Yeqing didn't have much dissatisfaction in his eyes. He raised his slender eyebrows and said, "If she hadn't intervened and it was me, maybe no one could be saved. At most, two of them would be with me. Go to hell."
Wang Xiuwei heard the danger of that night, and felt grateful to Ye Yun, wondering: "Since you weren't exposed, why did you have to leave here?"
Wang Xiuwei didn't understand the true power of Hidden Valley, and Wang Yeqing didn't want her daughter to become interested in Hidden Valley. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly: "Actually, they have been monitoring me. I can still find them, which proves The relationship between me and them has not yet become tense, but the Jinguan City incident is still brewing. Since we didn’t walk into the whirlpool that night, it’s natural to stay as far away as possible.”
Jinguancheng was her hometown. Wang Xiuwei was a little reluctant, but nodded and asked, "Mom, where are we going?"
Wang Yeqing's slender eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly and he thought for a moment before deciding: "Go back to Suzaku City, which is your grandmother's hometown. Also, drop by an old friend and see what advice he has."
…
…
Mu Qing went through the back door when he came out, and naturally went this way when he came back.
When he saw a familiar girl standing at the back door, he couldn't help but quicken his steps and walked forward, "Xiaochan, how long have you been waiting here?"
Xiaochan shook her head and smiled: "I just came out. When the young lady saw that you haven't been home for a long time, young master, she asked me to wait for you here."
"Oh?" Mu Qing raised the long wooden box in his hand and asked with a smile: "Where is Wei Rui? I'm going to find her now."
"I'm here." The wooden door behind Xiaochan opened with a creak.
Liu Weirui heard that the servant who came back said that Mu Qing would come back. She estimated the time and found that she and Xiaochan had been waiting here for more than two quarters of an hour.
"It's your birthday today, don't you need to go there?"
Mu Qing laughed loudly and pointed in the direction of Liu's front door. There were more and more people there.
Today, Liu Weirui wore a golden butterfly blouse woven with embroidered gold silk. It seemed to be the same weaving style as Mu Qing's brocade-edged elastic ink thin blouse.
Her beautiful eyes wandered all over Mu Qing's body, and finally landed on the wooden boxes Mu Qing was carrying. She nodded her chin slightly, shook her head and smiled, "What's there to wait for over there?"
Xiaochan's pretty eyebrows jumped up and down, and she explained in a non-angry tone: "Originally, Miss's birthday party was a private family banquet. I don't know who leaked the news that the head of the family would announce who the next head of the family would be today, so many people came. It’s no fun being an outsider.”
Liu Weirui nodded and added softly: "In addition, if something like this happens in the City Lord's Mansion, some families who are good friends with us will naturally take this opportunity to gather together, and maybe even make an agreement in private to help each other. alliance."
Mu Qingjian frowned slightly and looked at Liu Weirui, who was supposed to be today's protagonist. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but didn't know how to say it, "Then you..."
Liu Weirui smiled and said easily: "I'm not unhappy. Is everything going well for you?"
Mu Qing nodded, "No problem."
The three of them walked in. Xiaochan quietly pulled Liu Weirui's arm and indicated with her eyes what was in Mu Qing's hand.
Liu Weirui said a shy "Hmm". Although she had already guessed why Mu Qing took a while to come back, she still asked: "That place is not far from our home. Did you delay on the way?"
"Oh!" Mu Qing's cheeks felt a little hot and unnatural, and he said directly: "I went to buy some things."
Xiaochan saw the opportunity and asked: "With all these things, did the young master give them to the young lady?"
Mu Qing was a fool and said frankly: "No, I bought it for you all."
Liu Weirui raised her eyebrows slightly and said nothing.
Xiaochan whispered "Ah" softly. She was very happy that Mu Qing could buy her something, but was this the time to say this? She regretted asking Mu Qing like this.
She had a gut feeling that the young lady would be a little unhappy, so she quickly blinked at Mu Qing a few times.
Mu Qing didn't understand what Xiaochan meant, but he continued according to his own thoughts: "I bought some things for Xiaochan, my sister, and other disciples."
He glanced at the profile of the beautiful woman who suddenly became a little strange and quiet, and said softly: "Although I carefully selected the luxuriant things, I don't know if you will like them."
Xiaochan was overjoyed and quickly assisted, pretending to complain a little and said: "Okay, sir, you only carefully select the things that belong to the lady. Aren't you afraid that other people won't like the things you buy casually?"
Mu Qing frowned and said, "This is also my first time giving someone a gift. I really don't know how to choose."
"Xiaochan, what are you talking about? As long as Mu Qing's intentions are good, that's all."
Now it was Liu Weirui and Ti Muqing who came to the rescue. She glared at the playful Xiao Chan, turned her head slightly, and the corner of her eye fell on the long wooden box. She pretended not to care and asked calmly: "Well, What did you buy? Does it need to be packed in a wooden box?"
Mu Qing said quickly: "What I gave you is a box of rouge."
"Wow! Young master, you actually gave the lady rouge!" Xiaochan was really surprised at this time.
Mu Qing was startled by Xiaochan, thinking something was wrong, and quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
Xiaochan looked at Liu Weirui, whose ears were like rubies, took her hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "Miss, weren't you envious of the stories in the storybook before? The gifted man and the beautiful woman, the powder box confirms the love, the combination of the 卺 is the witness, it turns out that the young master And he has such a skill."
The blush spread from the roots of her ears and instantly covered Liu Weirui's pretty face. She cried out softly: "Xiaochan, can you please stop talking?"
Returning to the two adjacent courtyards, Mu Qing followed Liu Weirui to her courtyard.
Just after sitting down, Mu Qing immediately placed the largest long wooden box in front of Liu Weirui, making Xiaochan burst into laughter again.
Liu Weirui's shame faded away for a long time, she lowered her jaw and whispered: "What rouge? Do you want to put it in such a big box?"
Mu Qing recalled Wang Xiuwei's introduction and said seriously: "It's a rouge called 'Yuanshan'."
"This rouge is made from dewy gardenia and red and blue flowers, and is finally condensed with peach fat. After the makeup is applied, well, after the makeup is applied, it will look beautiful."
Liu Weirui felt very beautiful in her heart, but she said jokingly: "It's hard for you to carry so many things on your back."
Xiao Chan glanced at the young lady who was in full bloom at this time, and asked from the side: "Sir, you haven't said yet how beautiful the young lady will be after the makeup is done."
This time Mu Qing answered very simply. He looked at Liu Weirui's shy eyebrows and replied from the bottom of his heart: "When the cheeks are dyed pink, the distant mountains are the eyebrows and the autumn water is the pupils."
Liu Weirui said "hmm", and opened the box in front of her with her head a little dizzy, and sighed in surprise: "Why did you sell so many?"
Mu Qing was a little embarrassed and said, "I sold this one because I thought you could use it for a longer time."
Liu Weirui looked up at her sweetheart in front of her and sighed with a smile: "When can I finish using it?"
She murmured "Far Mountains" and "Far Mountains", but she thought in her heart that if she went to the Lin family in Xishan, she would really be separated by mountains. She heard her grandma say that there are 100,000 mountains in Xishan, so what? How far is it?
"Wei Rui, what's wrong with you?" Mu Qing couldn't help but worry when he saw Liu Wei Rui suddenly feeling melancholy.
Liu Weirui shook her head and said softly: "After you and I are separated, when my father's health gets better, I will follow my grandmother back to the Lin family in Xishan."
Mu Qing wondered: "Why go to such a far place?"
Liu Weirui looked straight at Mu Qing and said with a smile: "In order to be with you, in order to be able to be with you in the future, I am also preparing to practice."
Seeing that Mu Qing wanted to ask something else, Liu Weirui said directly: "Don't worry, my grandma said that I have a special constitution and there is no problem in starting to practice."
"but……"
"But what?"
Liu Weirui picked up a palm-sized box of rouge, put it to her nose and sniffed it, then said with a smile: "How about we make a date in a distant mountain."
"Before I use up these 'distant mountains', remember to come to me. Otherwise, I will come to you."
Mu Qing was moved, stretched out his hand to wrap Liu Weirui's little hand holding the rouge box, and said seriously: "I promise you."
