Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 159 The long-forgotten “old lover”

Faced with Mrs. Liu's reaction, Zhao Mu was a little confused and a little disappointed.

The question is why is she happy? Disappointed why wasn't she shocked?

In Zhao Mu's imagination, she should have a face full of hatred and grievance, and then question Zhao Mu loudly. "I'm your 'cousin', why did you do this to me!" Then he cried and raised his hand to slap himself, and then he blocked it.

But Liu Ying in front of him not only did not feel any grievances, on the contrary, he was very happy. Zhao Mu could tell that she wasn't pretending. If her mouth were bigger, her smile would reach the back of her head.

Zhao Mu thought about it carefully. Although he had been among the rich and powerful in the capital, he had always been a very marginalized figure because of his background.

Although Zhao Mu and Liu Ying knew each other, Zhao Mu thought that he had not met her many times. Neither her current self nor the original owner of this body have much interaction with her.

During the countless encounters, it was Zhao Mu's second brother who took him to meet her.

Although the relationship between Zhao Mu and his brothers and sisters was not very harmonious, he still had to take care of his father's face when he was alive. When the brothers attended certain gatherings, because it was their father's instruction, they took Zhao Mu with them. go. The age difference between the eldest brother and Zhao Mu is too big, so it is Zhao Mu's second brother who usually leads Zhao Mu "in the circle". And the person his second brother took him to meet the most was Liu Ying in front of him.

Although Zhao Mu was also dazzled by her beauty back then, because his mother was by his side, Zhao Mu was somewhat "immune" to beautiful women. At the time, Zhao Mu also knew that he could not pursue her, and he did not take her seriously. What's more, this woman is four or five years older than me. At that time, I was only twelve or thirteen years old, even younger than Ah Zi. If this woman liked herself as she was then, Zhao Mu, a pervert, would call her a pervert.

Seeing Zhao Mu's confused look, Mrs. Liu didn't care that her love was leaked. She limped to light the lamp in the room, then took the oil lamp to the bookshelf, rummaged carefully and took it out. A portrait wrapped in silk satin.

After she opened the portrait, she saw a picture of a beautiful woman, and the woman in the painting was none other than herself in her prime. There is also an inscription next to the portrait. This painting can be regarded as a top-quality painting. The painting technique of the beauty is imitated by Wu Daozi, and the inscription is imitated by Yan Zhenqing's font. The last poem is Li Bai's Qingping tune, which mentions "Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of faces. The spring breeze blows on the threshold, and the dew is thick. If we hadn't seen it on the top of the jade mountain, we would have met at Yaotai under the moon."

This painting can be said to be an example of the three great figures of the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Mu is also familiar with the person who signed the painting at the end, because the name signed at the end was his own, and the painting was written by him.

Seeing this painting, Zhao Mu remembered the things he had forgotten.

Zhao Mu remembered that when he was young, he had painted pictures for this woman, told her poems, and even played piano music for her. But these were not Zhao Mu's original intentions.

When Zhao Mu was willing to do this kind of thing for this woman, it was just his second brother who paid him to do it.

The man who originally pursued the most beautiful woman in the capital had to fight for his talent as well as his family background. As for his eldest and second brothers, they are both the father of a tiger and the son of a dog. Although they are not that bad, they know far less than Zhao Mu. Because Zhao Muqin was taught by his mother since he was a child, Zhao Muqin is not proficient in chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, but he has dabbled in them.

Zhao Mu remembered that his second brother seemed to be trying these things with the son of the Qi University scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He knew he was defeated, so he paid Zhao Mu to help. After Zhao Mu helped him settle the matter, he still boasted to himself, "You can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife. To deal with the two liang of ink in your belly, all you need is my brother." In short, not only did he win over the beauty that time, His face showed up in front of him, and he let out a bad breath.

Zhao Mu looked at his portrait, and then said: "This portrait is still with me."

Liu Ying said: "You personally painted this for me, Xiao Mu. How could I abandon it? There were many men who pursued me back then, but none of them had such outstanding charm as you, Xiao Mu. Although when I grew up, I Xiao Mu is not as cute as he was when he was a child, but he is still handsome. If you could inherit your father's title as Xiao Mu, my sister might marry you." After saying that, she pinched her as if teasing a child, as she did in the past. Zhao Mu's face.

Zhao Mu looked at her and thought, "You are really perverted." If Liu Ying didn't mention this matter, Zhao Mu would have almost forgotten about it. He didn't expect that this woman would fall in love with him back then.

Liu Ying then put away the portrait. While she was relocating the portrait, she said: "When you were able to get your title, sister, I always said good things about you in front of my mother-in-law. After you and the little princess went to the fiefdom, I thought that the two of us would never meet again in this life. I didn't expect that Xiao Mu would not only come back, but even buy the abandoned Yingguo Palace. I didn't expect that you would come to me today. Did you Are you jealous seeing your sister being bullied by that bad guy?"

Although Zhao Mu is a little confused about this sudden relationship. But he has also seen the operation of "Grandmaster".

Zhao Mu simply admitted: "Of course. Not long ago, this bastard molested my fiancée and insulted me and my mother with dirty words. Fortunately, Miss Huyan taught him a lesson. I originally sneaked into the mansion to teach him a lesson. I taught him a lesson to avenge the insult I received that day. But I didn’t expect to see him walking out of your room, sister. So I had the intention to kill him. Sister Liu, although you often dated my second brother back then. , but I am also very attracted to you. When I heard that you married that good-for-nothing Chai Wu, I was depressed for a long time. I came here like him this time, just to make up for the fact that I didn’t have a relationship with my sister back then. It’s just a pity that we got married. I didn’t expect you to like me too, sister.”

Hearing Zhao Mu's words, Liu Ying smiled and said: "Xiao Mu has good intentions and didn't let my sister miss you for so many years. If it wasn't for your sake, I really didn't want to see your second brother. Every time I I suggested that he bring you here, but unfortunately he has only brought you here a few times. Sister, I can only see things and miss people with pictures."

Liu Ying hugged Zhao Mu and said, "But I didn't expect that my sister would reunite with Xiao Mu after she became a widow. And Xiao Mu has grown up, and she still does this." When Liu Ying said this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shame. meaning.

But at this time, Liu Ying remembered what Zhao Mu had just said, and she asked: "Wait a minute, I heard my mother-in-law tell me, didn't the eldest lady and mother-in-law match up for you and Fourth Miss Huyan? Why do you still have a fiancée?"

When Zhao Mu saw that this woman was really attracted to him, he seemed to be able to take advantage of her, so he simply didn't hide it.

If this woman can make good use of it, then she may be able to control Prince Chai's Mansion in the future, and even if she is lucky, the title of Prince Chai's Mansion will be inherited by his heirs in the future.

With the help of Prince Chai's Mansion, it will be of great help to him in returning to the court in the future and changing his destiny against the will of the Song Dynasty.
