Chapter 54 Beautiful without knowing it
There was undisguised curiosity in the girl's dark eyes.

After a while, Xiao Mu calmly said: "I grew up in the northwest, and I never went to Beijing before King Jin's rebellion."

"Is that so..." The girl was tired from sitting, propped her chin with one hand, and said with thoughtful eyes: "That may be when I traveled with A Weng when I was young, I passed through the northwest, and I had an accidental encounter with Lord Hou." Is it a coincidence?"

Seeing that she was determined to figure out what she looked like, Xiao Mu interrupted her thoughts: "I may not necessarily have seen it before, I am born with an ordinary appearance, and it is normal for me to be a little familiar at first glance."

Hengyu: "??"

Facing her unbelievably shocked eyes, Xiao Mu was a little puzzled.

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be joking at all, Heng Yu felt that his outlook on life had been impacted when he looked at the face in front of him—he called this "born with an ordinary appearance"? !

After hearing this, Empress Nuwa probably felt that she had paid for it because of partiality!
Heng Yu subconsciously turned her head and looked around.

Xiao Mu looked at her suspiciously: "What is Painter Ji looking for?"

"Mirror—" Heng Yu asked earnestly, "Didn't Master Hou never look in the mirror?"

Xiao Mu fell silent.

This question really caught him.

It is true that he has not looked in the mirror carefully for many years, and what he looks like at the moment is just a vague outline-for him, the face can be brought out to meet people, and children will not be scared to cry. enough.

As for the occasional compliments heard around him, he never took it seriously.

Heng Yu was also silent for a moment.

That day Yan Jin asked her 'Which one is more beautiful, I or Xiaohou' - it turns out that Xiaohou is not only beautiful, but also beautiful without knowing it.

She especially couldn't see that someone's perception of her was not clear enough, so she said seriously: "Master Hou may have some misunderstanding about his appearance, but you are the most handsome man I have ever met."

Although martial arts achievements are also outstanding, such a beauty is by no means something that can be ignored.

Facing those admiring eyes, Xiao Mu's expression froze, and he didn't feel flattered at all. Instead, he had the feeling of being a girl from a good family and being flattered and molested by a dude!

How could a girl praise a man's appearance so bluntly to his face?

What kind of unseen scheme is this?
Fortunately, the girl from a good family——Master Xiaohou was still in good shape, so she was able to reciprocate politely and said: "Master Jihua is not bad."

This is like a counterattack after being molested.

Unexpectedly, the dandy blinked and nodded: "I know."

She has to look in the mirror every day, and she has always been humble and good at listening to others' opinions. She is definitely not the kind of person who is beautiful without knowing it.

There was a hint of amused smile in the girl's agile eyes, and the dimple around the corner of her mouth was faintly visible.

After all, Xiao Mu silently turned his eyes away, and ruined the topic: "...When can Master Ji paint the portrait of missing people?"

"It's ten days faster, and half a month slower." Heng Yu also put away his thoughts of chatting, and while sorting out the booklets in hand, he said: "Although they are all based on portraits when they were young, their growth experiences are different, and their appearance and temperament will also be different. Different. Therefore, we can only draw various possibilities based on this, but cannot be specific and precise.”

The so-called appearance is born from the heart, in fact, it means that the facial gaseous state will gradually change with the living environment, habits, and temperament.

Although Xiao Mu didn't understand her seemingly unbelievable deduction skills, after hearing this statement, she felt much more believable.

She is serious and well-founded——

Even if there is more than one result drawn in the end, it must be useful.

"That's how there's Raugie the painter."

"Just do what you can."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Xiao Mu only felt that her appearance seemed much clearer in his eyes.

It's true, it's true——

At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door sounded, and the person outside got Xiao Mu's permission, pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was warm, but at this moment there was a sudden cold wind blowing in, although it was only for a moment, it also made people feel cool.

Xiao Mu pressed his fist to his lips and coughed a few times.

Heng Yu looked at him: "Master Hou's injury is not fully healed yet? Seeing Master Hou recently, it seems to be less serious."

Xiao Mu paused slightly when he lowered the hand on his lips.

Is this showing concern for him?

He didn't know whether it was out of guard against the female spies or other considerations, he just said: "Painter Lao Ji cares about it, it's no big problem."

Said, looking at Meng Dazhu who walked in: "What's the matter?"

"General, my subordinates have something important to report—"

Heng Yu got up at the right time: "I'll take my leave today, and I'll look for Lord Hou when the portrait makes progress."

Xiao Mu nodded: "Da Zhu, I will send you off to Painter Ji."

Heng Yu originally wanted to say no, let them just talk about business, but seeing that Meng Dazhu had already turned around, he didn't refuse anymore.

"Lieutenant Meng, please stay." Out of the study, Heng Yu said.

Meng Dazhu didn't send any more, but said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Ji, for taking care of my elder sister."

"It's hard work." Heng Yu smiled: "Lieutenant Meng, let's go in."

Meng Dazhu replied "Yes", and his eyes stayed on Jiji for a moment.

Gigi half-casts her eyes and doesn't look at him.

Meng Dazhu seemed to want to speak and stopped for a moment, but in the end he didn't say much, cupped his hands towards Hengyu, and went back to the study.

The master and servant went down the stone steps, Heng Yu asked Ji Ji: "But did you have any trouble with Captain Meng?"

"Back to the girl, no!" Jiji immediately shook her head in denial, and then hurriedly changed the subject: "Is the girl talking to Master Hou, is it going well?"

"Successful." After Heng Yu nodded, he looked at the abnormal little maid curiously for a moment.

Whether the atmosphere between people is right or not, sometimes you can feel it without seeing it.

In particular, Jiji and Meng Xiaowei are both lively and easy-going, and they are loyal confidants above the matter of "eating".

What exactly happened that made Jiji, who had never been able to hide her words, start to dodge in front of her?
Hengyu didn't ask too many questions, she never forced Jiji to do what she didn't want to do.If she doesn't want to say it, she won't force it.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, she tightened some fur clothes, and the image of Xiao Mu suffering from the cold wind and coughing suddenly flashed before her eyes.

General Xiao is obviously not a weak person, but recently he seems to be as afraid of the cold as she is...

If it's just a flesh injury, how could it become more serious as it grows?

In the study, Meng Dazhu didn't report any important matters, but reminded: "General, it's time to take medicine."

The matter of the general's poisoning has always been a secret, and it was just now that the painter Ji was here, so it is inconvenient to speak up.

After Xiao Mu nodded, Meng Dazhu quickly brought the medicine to the study in person.

Meng Dazhu was holding the medicine bowl with both hands, when Xiao Mu reached out to take it, he touched his subordinate's hand.

Lord Xiaohou felt it quietly for a moment.

Meng Dazhu, whose fingers were rubbed twice by his own general, was confused and tense all over: "...??"

After a while, I saw my general took the medicine bowl and drank it down.

Meng Dazhu was still terrified.

Not long ago, Doctor Yan had secretly said that they should pay more attention to whether the general behaved strangely. In order to give them a reference, he even gave an example -- such as touching a man's hand!
