auspicious time has come

Chapter 117 May this tomorrow be endless

"No, Lord Xiaohou is here..." Cuihuai said in a low voice.

Hengyu opened her eyes suddenly when she heard the words, and sat up in a jerk, and her sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Mu is here?

Why did he, a person who was too poisoned to walk, come here in person?
"Hurry up and change my clothes." Heng Yu hurriedly said after getting off the bed.

At this time, she was only wearing a middle coat, and her hair was just wrung and loose.

Ji, Ji, Cuihuai and the others quickly put on a dress and a fur coat for her, but when they were about to comb her hair, they saw Heng Yu grabbing a light blue ribbon, and hurriedly tied her black hair behind her head, and walked out go.

It's cold in the night, he is most afraid of the cold now——

Hengyu trotted out of the yard, and under the bald ginkgo tree outside the yard stood Xiao Mu in a big cloak.

His figure became more and more slender due to the thinness, the moonlight poured down, and his white face was as cold as jade.

She ran to him: "Why did Lord Hou come here in person? But there is something important?"

Xiao Mu gave a "hmm" and said, "Stretch out your hand."

What is the most important thing that requires her to reach out?

For no reason, Heng Yu thought of the situation when he made a mistake when he was a child and was hit by his father on the palm of the hand. He hesitated for a while, and then stretched out his left hand.

Xiao Mu: "The other—"

Seeing that his expression was serious, but his tone revealed a rare gentleness and patience, Heng Yu followed suit.

Under the moonlight, as the girl stretched out her hand, the sleeves slid down slightly, revealing a white wrist.

The other big, slender and slightly cool hand held hers. With the warm yellow light from the front lamp, it can be seen that the red and swollen color above the slender wrist was particularly eye-catching——

Xiao Mu looked at it for a moment before opening his mouth.

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts." Heng Yu replied without hesitation, "I can't even lift it up, even today's dinner is served by a maid—"

Under such circumstances, it is supposed to answer "it doesn't hurt", but she has never been considered a very normal type.

Her tone was even a little exaggerated, Xiao Mu raised his eyes to look at her: "You know it hurts, but you still want to paint day and night like this?"

Heng Yu gently withdrew her hand, showing a smile: "It's a good thing to know the pain. I didn't care about the pain before when I was busy. Now that I have done this, I have the mind to pretend to be myself. It is the pain. , it’s also a pain with peace of mind—besides, if I say it doesn’t hurt, what if Lord Hou thinks it’s irrelevant and refuses to accept this kind of favor? Then wouldn’t my hard work be in vain.”

She didn't seem to know what humility and politeness meant at all, and she didn't even have the slightest awareness of doing good deeds without expecting anything in return.

Xiao Mu wanted to laugh, but his tone was very serious: "I will remember this favor."

Heng Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Then Hou Ye has to think about how to repay."

Xiao Mu also nodded: "Well, you should also think about it carefully, what do you want in return—"

After speaking, the two of them looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

What I said just now is all tacit.

Only now did Xiao Mu give this conversation a clear start: "Master Ji has already noticed that Benhou was poisoned, right?"

"Master Hou has already noticed that I have already noticed, right?" Heng Yu asked back.

Thinking back carefully, he actually didn't guard against her like he did to other people, even if he just got angry, he would still see her.

This is by no means a truly defensive gesture.

"I know you know." Xiao Mu's eyes fell on Hengyu's sleeve again: "But I don't know you did this."

"Then Hou Ye thought about killing me?" Heng Yu asked curiously.

Xiao Mu looked at her and shook his head: "Never."

In his opinion, such things are not something that can be used as a joke, so he answered them very seriously.

The corners of Hengyu's mouth curled up, and he said with emotion: "Then I still have a good eye for seeing people, so it's not like meddling in other people's business."

His worth is worth it in every way.

Such a worthy person is rare in the world.

"Take it." Xiao Mu handed over a porcelain bottle.

"I've let Doctor Yan look at it, and rubbed it with medicated oil." Heng Yu said, but still took it.

"What does Yan Ming say? Will there be sequelae?" Xiao Mu asked.

"Although it is indeed very hard work, the sequelae will not happen. It is enough to rest for a while."

Hearing that she never forgot to emphasize the word "hard work" to claim credit, Xiao Mu smiled silently, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Everyone knows that you have inherited Mr. Qinghan's lifelong aura of painting and calligraphy. Illness, not to mention those scholars in the painting circle, even my mother may not spare me."

Heng Yu nodded along with his words: "According to this, Master Hou almost caused a big mistake indirectly. If this is the case, he must get better, so that he will not take such a risk in vain."

Xiao Mu let out a "huh" and said very cooperatively: "On the matter of surviving, I will do my best."

The risk was not in vain—

It's not in vain for her hard work to save this life for him.

"girl……"

At this time, Jiji walked out lightly, in order not to disturb the two of them talking, her voice was kept low, and after handing a muff to Hengyu, she retreated into the courtyard.

Seeing that Master Hou was not leaving, she was worried that her daughter would freeze her hands. Doctor Yan said that the girl's wrists could not stand the cold.

Xiao Mu subconsciously looked at the muff, and couldn't help being taken aback.

"... the same as the previous one, is it a pair?" He couldn't help asking.

So, did Mr. Shaoyan specially make pairs of things for her——

While Xiaohou was pondering, Hengyu replied: "It can't be called a pair, it's just made by Cuihuai, and it's the leftover material from before."

Xiao Mu: "??"

Seeing that his expression was stagnant, Heng Yu tentatively asked: "If Master Hou likes it, how about taking this one too?"

Xiao Mu: "..."

It's not a matter of liking it or not...

Seeing that she seemed to be picking it off, Xiao Mu hurriedly said: "...No need, one is enough."

Afterwards, looking at her loosely tied black hair, a strand of her hair was blown up by the wind, Xiao Hou suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart, and said: "The wind is blowing, let's go in."

"Then Hou Ye should go back quickly, don't be caught in the cold."

Xiao Mu nodded.

Heng Yu turned around and walked towards the courtyard, walked a few steps, then turned back.

Seeing Xiao Mu still standing where she was, she waved her hand and said with a smile, "Master Hou, see you tomorrow."

Xiao Mu nodded, and there was a smile on his brows: "Okay, see you tomorrow."

Watching the girl's back disappear into the courtyard, he raised his head to look at Dangkong Haoyue. For a person who had long since lost his attachment to everything in this world, some vague visions suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

May this bright moon last forever.

May this endless tomorrow—

……

This night, it was rare for Hengyu to sleep soundly until dawn without a dream.

When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed.

"Are you not painting today?" Jiang Meiguan asked with a smile when he saw the man coming out of the room.

There is a reason for this smile - the fact that Xiao Hou came here last night could not escape the ears of the matchmaker Jiang.

"The painting is finished, let's rest for a while." Heng Yu replied casually, hiding his hands in the muff, with a lazy smile on his face.

"It's time to rest." Seeing her descending the stone steps, Jiang's matchmaker asked, "I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'm going out now?"

"It's just going out for breakfast." Heng Yu walked down with light steps: "I've been locked up for several days, but I'm going to be suffocated to death. It's rare to have half a day free to eat buns at Mrs. Miao's."

"Then let's be companions!"

"Great cause" is developing steadily, and Jiang's media official is also in a relaxed mood. He stepped forward and took Heng Yu's arm: "It's just a matter of time to meet with Mrs. Miao to discuss the rules for a pair of Nazheng!"

Gan Miao had already left the Miao family, and as soon as she answered the details of the marriage process, she directly discussed with her.

As for the man's side, this Mr. Liu is also without father and mother, so it is often negotiated directly with him.

If it is necessary for the "two companies" to sit down and discuss together, it will be even simpler.

Previously it was a wedding or funeral, but now it is a personal affair. Jiang's matchmaker has done so many matchmaking, but this experience is still the first time for a bride to get on the sedan chair.

"It's a coincidence that Miss Ji and Jiang Meiguan came here today, the shop will not be open tomorrow, we have to prepare for the New Year's Eve." Inside the bun shop, Gan Miao said with a smile.

Now her whole body exudes a free and easy air, and her spirit is more stretched and younger than before.

Heng Yu said: "The New Year is approaching, Miss Miao should say goodbye to the old and welcome the new."

Gan Miao nodded with a smile.

Shun Shui quickly brought up the hot buns.

Since the news of the military service case spread, brother Shunshui also realized the fact that the shopkeeper of his house was not the one who ordered Koff, no matter what level he looked at.

Under such circumstances, the family members had no choice but to persuade him to go back.

In the past two days, brother Shunshui was hesitating about how to talk to his shopkeeper.

While Hengyu was chatting and laughing with Jiang Meiguan, when the buns were half eaten, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Two baskets of buns, a bowl of egg soup—"

The young man came in with a servant, yawning while covering his face with a folding fan.

"Coincidentally, isn't this my little Seventeen!"

After Yan Jin yawned, he glanced at Hengyu and walked over immediately.

"Jiang's matchmaker is here, Yan is being polite." Yan Jin saluted with a smile on his face.

"It's Mr. Yan Lang, please sit down quickly, let's eat together!" Facing this foolish and rich Mr. Jiang, the matchmaker was very enthusiastic.

"Since Jiang's matchmaker invited you, then Yan will not be polite." Yan Jin sat down on the seat next to Hengyu.

Smelling the scent of powder on his body, Heng Yu suddenly said: "I wonder why you got up so early——"

The co-author is staying overnight in Hualou, sober up and looking for food.

Yan Jin "hush" at her, leaned his head closer to her and whispered: "I'm counting on the Jiang matchmaker to be my matchmaker, don't ruin my reputation..."

Jiang's media official pretended not to listen, and smiled and urged people to eat buns.

After eating breakfast, when he came out of the shop, Yan Jin looked up at the sky and said, "It will rain today, Xiao Yu'er, you should go back to the Hou's mansion as soon as possible, so don't go out again, lest you be hurt." Get rid of the damp and cold air in this winter."

Heng Yu also raised her head: "The sky is not cloudy, how do you know it will rain? Do you know how to measure the weather?"

"I don't understand celestial phenomena." Yan Jin tapped his leg with a folding fan, and said with a smile, "It's all due to the root of the disease that this leg suffered when he was young. As long as it hurts, it will definitely rain."

It was the first time Heng Yu heard him mention this matter, so he asked: "Shouldn't you be a little son who was pampered and grown up when you were young, how could you have such a serious disease?"

Grown up pampered?

Yan Jin's eyes froze for a moment, and then he laughed: "Yes, but who told me to be disobedient! Tsk, this person, you should be more obedient, so as to avoid suffering..."

The few people walked away while talking, and their figures were quickly overwhelmed by pedestrians on the street.

……

After Hengyu returned to the Hou Mansion, she took another nap, as if to make up for the lack of sleep in the past few days.

"Girl, it's time to wake up, I have to get up and change clothes and get ready to go to Pei's mansion..." Jiji woke people up against the clock.

Heng Yu yawned and sat up, and asked in a daze, "Is it raining?"

"It didn't rain, but the sun came out just now."

"Yan Jin's legs don't work..." Heng Yu stretched, said something casually, and got out of bed to get dressed.

She and Mrs. Xiao left the Marquis Mansion together, and got into the prepared carriage.

"I'm also going tonight at Jingshi. He wants to be late, and our female relatives will go there first to be lively." Inside the carriage, Mrs. Xiao held Hengyu's hand and said with a smile.

Chunjuan and Mammy looked at each other.

The madam has a straightforward personality, and she doesn't like dealing with those noble ladies the most. In the past, the madam would never be present on such occasions that required entertainment.

As for why this exception was made this time, it is not difficult to guess...

Seeing his wife holding the girl's hand reluctantly, with even a look of anticipation in her eyes, Chunjuan realized it thoroughly - this was to show off her future daughter-in-law.

As the mother of Marquis Xiao, Mrs. Xiao's identity is here. This time, she came to the banquet for the honor, and the wife of the Pei family, Dou Shi, was overjoyed. Hearing the servant's report, she took a group of female relatives to the front to welcome him into the hall in person. middle.

Surrounded by jewels and emeralds and flattering sounds, Mrs. Xiao held the arm of the girl beside her, with a decent smile on her face.

Everyone couldn't help being curious about the girl's identity, and when Dou saw this, she said in a timely manner: "I'm afraid you don't know, this girl Ji is a master painter who came from the capital, and she is the granddaughter of Mr. Qinghan!"

In the north, not all the female family members of the back house know who Mr. Qinghan is, but in this situation, even if they have never heard of it, they naturally have to pretend to have heard of it.

All of a sudden, those flattering voices fell on Heng Yu.

Some praised her for her good background, some praised her for her good looks, and some even praised her for her good fortune——

Heng Yu responded to these scenes with a smile, and it was not until the time of the banquet, when he entered the table and sat down, that his ears were quieter.

Her eyes turned around on the matinees, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange—why hasn't the Wushuang girl who is the head of the family shown up until now?

At this time, tonight's birthday star Pei Ding appeared in everyone's sight.

Pei Jieshi came to the seat of the main seat in the hall, and just smiled and said a few words to the visitors, a servant walked in quickly, and he didn't know what to say, and Pei Jieshi immediately looked a little panicked. left the seat.

"Lord Xiaohou is here!"

As the servants outside the hall sang loudly, the guests in the hall suddenly became excited and got up one after another.

Hengyu also wanted to stand up, but Mrs. Xiao lightly pressed her shoulders, and handed a few peeled pine nuts to her hand: "Our own people, what can we do to save face for him? Try this Pine nuts..."
