Chapter 42
The Yuan family in Xi'an is known for its strict family education. Whenever a distinguished guest in the family resigns, all the low-level servants kneel down to send them off, while the middle- and high-level servants who serve in each garden must kneel to respectfully send off the distinguished guest at the gate of Ziqi Villa. After leaving, you can get up and go back to the original place to work.

In the early morning of the next day, the original Qingjiang and Xuanyuan family members set off for Beijing.

The blue sky is clear and cloudless, and the white marble archway of Ziqi Mountain Villa is still as majestic as before. Under the archway, there are golden phoenix phoenixes and phoenixes guarding the front and back.

Under the phoenix canopy embroidered with crank-handled gold threads, a group of servants and eunuchs lined up quietly and neatly, burning incense, holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, washing bowls, dust whisks, etc., and standing in an orderly manner with their eyes down and bowed.

A white fox fur wind collar was put on Feibai's neck, covering the gauze that Sanniang put on.I applied Snow Skin Jade Skin Ointment on my face. After an hour, the five fingerprints basically disappeared, and the left side of my face was slightly red and swollen. I deliberately applied a thick layer of pearl powder, but fortunately, it was not obvious.I stubbornly raised my head high, ignoring Feibai.

As soon as the two of us appeared with sullen faces, all eyes turned to us in unison.

Song Minglei looked at me distressedly for a moment, then turned his gaze to Feibai.

Fei Bai looked back at him calmly, as if this is my family business, you can stay where you are cool, and don't interfere if you have nothing to do.Song Minglei's handsome face, which is always like a spring breeze, is rarely full of coldness.

I don't know why Feijue didn't show up, so only Guo Erren and five teenagers came to see him off in Yubeizhai.

Yuan Qingjiang was talking with an old man.The old man was hale and hearty, with torch-like eyes, wearing an apricot-yellow four-claw python robe on a jade plate, he must be King Jingxia.

Yuan Qingjiang and his family bid farewell to King Jingxia and the rest of the royal family, then knelt down and asked the eldest princess' Luanyu to drive.Everyone knelt down.As soon as my knees hit the ground, Fei Bai knelt down beside me. I just wanted to move my knees to get a little farther away from this bastard, but he grabbed my hand all of a sudden.I couldn't break free, so I secretly pinched him hard with my nails. He was bleeding from the pinch, but he didn't move or look at me.

Xuanyuan Benxu stared cheerfully at the last sedan chair, and suddenly saw a slender hand lift the curtain, and it turned out to be the four graceful Persian dancers he saw in Yubeizhai.And Xuanyuan Shuyi's eyes locked on me and Yuan Feibai, seeing him holding my hand, her flowery smile was still in full bloom, but her gaze was as cold as ice when she looked at me.Jinxiu stood at the bottom of the original Qingjiang River, her jade face was also slightly cold.I had to grit my teeth, touch my head to the stone steps, and say nothing.

At this time, a soft voice came from Jin Yu, "Yesterday, my palace was unwell, and I didn't have time to attend Mrs. Jin's family banquet. I heard that Mrs. Ru, the third younger brother Xinna, is very smart. The method of exterminating locusts was offered by her. I don't know where?"

Everyone was taken aback, and the son-in-law Yuan Feiqing looked at Jin Yu's beautiful figure strangely.

I couldn't help but look at Yuan Feibai.He was a little confused, but he still said loudly: "Back to the princess, the concubine is not well, I'm afraid to disturb the princess."

"Where did the third brother come from? How polite is my family? Please come quickly and let me see you!"

A small yellow door came over respectfully with a whisk in hand.

Feibai had no choice but to lead Feibai and me to Jin Yu, and we both knelt down in front of Jin Yu.

Two palace maids opened the curtain of the flying phoenix, and I raised my head anxiously, only to see a well-dressed palace lady sitting inside, looking at me with great interest.Although she is not as charming as Jinxiu, not as gentle as Biying, and rarely has the beauty of non-smoke, but she has a kind of elegance that belongs to the royal family, with a trace of innocence in her grace and luxury.They are also golden branches and jade leaves, but compared with Xuanyuan Shuyi's exquisite appearance, they are more rare and kind.

She smiled and looked at me curiously, "Are you Hua Mujin, the righteous sister of Song Huwei, and Mrs. Jin's sister?"

I said yes.She asked me when I came to Ziqi Mountain Villa, what books I usually read, and why I thought of using fire to attack locusts.I will answer them one by one.Then she asked more and more questions, as if she was very interested in me.

Yuan Feiqing said with a gentle smile to her helplessly: "Shuqi, it's getting late, and a large group of people are waiting for you to set off!"

"I know." Xuanyuan Shuqi sighed softly, thought for a while, took off the diamond bracelet on her hand, and asked Xiao Huangmen to give it to me, "This can be regarded as a meeting gift from this palace!" Called: "Get up and drive."

Holding the dazzling diamond bracelet in both hands, I hastily stepped aside and knelt down on the ground to send the eldest princess to the carriage.

Yuan Feiqing looked at me, smiled and said to Xuanyuan Shuqi: "I remember that sister Shuyi asked you for this bracelet last time, but you didn't give it to me. Why are you so generous today?"

"Husband, I really hit it off with her..." Xuanyuan Shuqi's soft and coquettish voice was drowned in the eunuch's singing.

The brigade of men and horses opened the way and raised the smoke and dust of Qindi, which narrowed my eyes.When I raised my head, Feibai had disappeared without a trace, and there were very few people under the Dongmen archway.

Fate is really a wonderful thing, every moment makes people like two fallen leaves in late autumn, fluttering in the wind, occasionally bumping into each other, but separate things.However, this seemingly occasional and destined impact sometimes leaves a lingering sound in later life, and even lasts for a long time, affecting a lifetime, just like me and the eldest princess of the Xuanyuan family.Although I didn't know it at the time, this first meeting with her was also the last intersection of my life with her, but the bracelet she gave me saved my life a few years later.

As for classmate Yuan Feibai... The dispute between the two of them came to my mind last night, and I felt a twinge of pain in my heart.This time he returned to the capital with Jinxiu, facing the impending storm of the Dongting Dynasty, how will the two of them get through it safely?How should the fate of these two people, my fate with him, and my fate with Feijue be resolved?
Sighing sadly, Wei Hu and Su Hui walked up to me and looked at my face quietly.

Feibai took Han Xiuzhu away, and specially left Wei Hu to protect us.I was about to say that I wanted to ride a horse for a walk, when suddenly there was thick smoke billowing behind me, and a white horse galloped back.Wei Hu immediately stood in front of me, and after a while, his face relaxed again, and he moved away.

I was stunned to find that he was dressed in snow-white non-white, why did he come back again?

I looked up at him rebelliously, and he was staring at me right away.In the blink of an eye, Su Hui had no time to exclaim, he had already carried me onto the horse, and his lips kissed mine fiercely.

I struggled desperately, but he didn't let me go. All the servants in Ziqi Mountain Villa who hadn't dispersed in time couldn't help but grow roots, and looked at us, their jaws dropped.

This kiss was domineering and overbearing, sucking and twisting, deliberately provocative.Just when I was about to suffocate, he let me go.

I immediately slapped him.Amidst the gasps of everyone, I gasped for breath and stared at him with hatred.

To my surprise, he didn't fight back, but just looked at me slightly panting, his eyes were firm, cold and unfathomable.Then he broke into a smile that I had never seen before, beautiful and evil, and said to me: "Didn't you say that I would never touch you in my life? Now that I touch you, what should you do?"

"You...shameless!" I was angry and ashamed, but I couldn't break free from his embrace. I wanted to make a move, but he had already pushed the unsheathed back with one hand, and pressed my hand with the other, and then he was handsome His face came closer again.

I turned my face, and his kiss landed on my slightly swollen left cheek, "Since you believe that I am so despicable in your heart, then I will simply do what you wish and be shameless to the end. If you don't want to harm Feijue, then I will not be here." During this period of time, don't provoke him."

I tried my best to hold back the tears in my eyes, and stubbornly refused to look at him, but he whispered in my ear like a demon: "As for the antidote for life and death, I can tell you, even if Lord Hou let you go free, even if I get this antidote, you will never leave me in this life, and I will never give it to you." Then he pushed me away violently, and threw me to Suhui.

Suhui opened his arms to catch me, but because Feibai used too much force, I fell to the ground with him, and the poor man crushed me on all fours.But he reacted quite quickly, he didn't even hum, he hugged me who was about to go forward and desperately, and he clicked my Ya acupoint by the way.

"Wei Hu," Fei Bai said to Wei Hu who was kneeling on one knee without even looking at me, "If a girl loses a hair, I only ask you."

Wei Hu replied calmly and looked at me with joy.

Su Hui also stammered and apologized with a smile: "Congratulations to the third master, congratulations to Miss Mu."

I burst into tears, and cursed in my heart: You bastards, don't you see how painful I am?

Yuan Feibai turned his eyes to me who was gnashing his teeth again. He stared at me deeply. The pain in his bright eyes was fleeting, and then he returned to his indifference. Half a month, I'll go back as soon as I go." Then, he turned his head resolutely, and rode a tall white horse and flew out of our field of vision.

Suhui put me down, and as soon as I untied my dumb acupoint, I rushed out.I picked up a stone and threw it with all my strength in the direction where Yuan Feibai left, "Yuan Feibai, you pervert, I hate you, I hate you..."

After a few days, I calmed down and played with hidden weapons with Wei Hu and Lu Yuan again.I thought Hujin's gunpowder was too ostentatious once it was shot, so I asked Zhang Demao to help me get the gunpowder.

On this day, I took a nap and rode alone to the Fuju Inn in Xiaowuyi, Dongcheng, Xi'an, to visit the Qi brothers.

Before entering the lobby, the noise came in.A well-looking woman in her thirties was greeting guests with exquisite faces.As soon as she saw me, her eyes flickered and she hurriedly called the man to entertain me.

I stepped in and saw two storytellers on a high platform in the center, spitting and telling the heroic story of the Swallow Army fighting against the Western Turks.People flowed in and out, the business was very busy, the waiter was busy ordering food and tea for the customers, one of them was the tall and burly Qi Botian.He was busy serving dishes to the guests, he was taken aback when he saw me, then gave me a foolish smile, and welcomed me to the private room on the second floor familiarly.

I opened the window and looked down at the bustling crowd from the upstairs, thinking that the so-called small hermit hides in the wild, and the big hermit hides in the city. The annex arranged by Song Minglei really won't attract attention.

At this time, the curtain was lifted, and the woman seen in the lobby walked in with lotus steps, looked at me up and down, her bright eyes were as clear as water, but extremely deep.I was about to open my mouth to reveal my identity, but she knelt down, bowed to me, and said respectfully: "Li Ru has met Fourth Miss."

I thought to myself that this must be the proprietress surnamed Li arranged by Song Minglei, so I hurried forward to help her up, "Sister Li, you don't have to be polite, Second Brother Song is not here, thanks to Sister Li for taking care of our Xiaowuyi's property."

Li Ru got up, still bowed and lowered his eyes.

I asked her a few words, and she answered them one by one, very cautiously, without the slick and lively conversation just now.

After talking for a while, Qi Fang was still nowhere to be seen. Li Ru took the initiative to tell me that Qi Fang should cook in the backyard kitchen.

I didn't believe it at first, but when she smiled and led me to the kitchen secretly, I saw Qi Fang with a turban on his head, and his right hand, who once threatened my life with the Qingfeng Sword, was holding the big spoon tightly, looking intently at the fire. Stir-fry a plate of spicy chicken diced in the middle, the movements are skilled and professional.

I poked my head in surprise, he had quickly finished two dishes, and the smell of spicy peppers rushed straight to my nose.I was salivating and drooling when he glanced over to where I was standing and I jerked my head back.

Pulling Li Ru back to the room, Li Ru asked me how to arrange the Qi brothers, but I fell into confusion.On the one hand, I really want Qi Fang to help me deal with Yuan Feibai, on the other hand, I think of his complacent expression when he was cooking just now, and I feel a little bit unbearable if I drag him into the bloody wind again.

Qi Fang's voice sounded outside, "Boss Li, Miss Mu, can Qi Fang come in?"

I hurriedly sat up straight, carrying four small dishes, a silver wine jug, two silver cups, and two pairs of chopsticks with great skill, and put them neatly on the kang table, standing beside me respectfully, without saying a word .

Li Ru smiled, excused that he had eaten, and wanted to go downstairs to have a look, so he went out.I exchanged some pleasantries with him, but he just answered respectfully with his eyes down, without saying much.I was a little discouraged, and when I was about to decide to let him be a cook for the rest of my life, Qi Botian came in excitedly.I cleared my throat and asked them what they planned to do after revenge.

The two brothers spoke at the same time:
Qi Botian said: "Stay in Fuju Inn..."

Qi Zhongshu said: "Nature follows the girl..."

The two brothers looked at each other, then looked at me and stopped talking.Qi Fang's answer gave me some relief, I smiled and said, I will never force the two of you to stay, and then I left the Fuju Inn.Just about to get on the horse, Qi Fang chased me out, grabbed the rein of my horse, and looked at me firmly, "Please let the girl be with you forever, protect the girl!"

The autumn wind blew a strand of long hair from the corner of his forehead, and his bright eyes were full of panic.I looked down at him from the horse, and my heart couldn't help feeling hot, and I said with a smile: "There is a lack of a cook in Xifengyuan, would you like to go?"

He froze for a moment, then smiled joyfully, revealing the dimples on his cheeks that he hadn't seen for a long time.I habitually looked around, then hooked my hands at him, beckoning him to come closer, leaned over and whispered to him: "But can you promise me one thing first?"

Qi Fang said impassionedly: "Fang is willing to die for the girl."

I smiled, "That's great, get me a big pot of hot peppers when you leave."

Qi Fang's dimples froze there.

When I returned to Xifengyuan with Qi Fang and a large jar of spicy peppers that day, Wei Hu and Su Hui were already in a hurry, and their eyes lit up immediately when they saw me.

Suhui complained straight away: "Grandma, why don't you tell me and Brother Wei when you go to the city, but we..." He saw Qi Fang behind me, and suddenly his face darkened, "Who is this?"

Wei Hu also looked at Qi Fang warily, I said Qi Fang was my childhood friend, he was a good cook, so he could help Sanniang when he came to the garden.

Suhui's regional protectionism began to play a role. He was very wary of Qi Fang, and Wei Hu was shocked when he heard Qi Fang's name, which shows that he had guessed Qi Fang's true identity.

I thought to myself, could it be that Wei Hu is the spy that Master Hou placed beside Yuan Feibai?

Qi Fang kept a cool face from the beginning to the end, Wei Hu and Su Hui whispered to each other for a while, Su Hui jumped out and said: "For Miss Mu's sake, it's okay for a strong man Qi to enter the garden, but he has to show his hand for us to see." As he spoke, he showed a gesture of hands.

I was upset, and was about to speak out, but Qi Fang smiled slightly, and lifted the hem of his cotton robe, "Please."

Su Hui and Qi Fang are about the same age, and their martial arts are both mastered by famous masters, but after the fight, Su Hui withdrew from the circle with sweat profusely, but Qi Fang remained motionless, not even a hair was messed up.

Wei Hu's eyes shined brightly, "Could it be that your excellency came from Jin Gu Zhenren's sect?"

Qi Fang clasped his fists and said, "Zhong Shu is the master's closed disciple, this must be the strong Wei Hu who is called 'Shaking the Sky and Tiger Roar' by people in the world, right?"
