auspicious time has come

Chapter 85 Is It Important?
When Xiao Mu sent someone to send a message to invite each other, Heng Yu was in the room discussing the ceremony of picking in the future with the matchmaker Jiang, while Ji Ji sat beside her and peeled pine nuts for her daughter.

Ordinarily, it is not suitable for a girl to be present in person when it comes to discussing marriage, but Jiji's situation is special, and Heng Yu also wants to let her make up her own mind to the maximum extent possible.

After hearing the intention of the female envoy, before Hengyu could speak, the matchmaker Jiang said: "Ah Heng, Lord Hou probably also wants to talk to you about the future lottery collection, so hurry over there!"

"The matter of accepting the lottery has been arranged and prepared by the Meng family, so how can there be a need for Lord Hou to discuss it with me?" Heng Yu got up while talking.

The matchmaker Jiang coughed lightly: "...there must be other important matters!"

She took the trouble to find an excuse to push Hengyu to the banquet, but she didn't know that this move was unnecessary.

"Cui Huai, come and change my clothes." Heng Yu walked towards the inner room with a brisk tone.

Heng Yu originally thought that the place where the banquet was held was still the Songfeng Pavilion where she was drunk last time, but saw the envoy leading her all the way to the dining room.

During the transmission of the female envoy, Heng Yu could faintly hear conversations in it.

Is there another guest?

But Lord Marquis entertains guests, why invite her here?
This question will soon have an answer.

"It's Miss Ji Er!"

The woman's voice was full of joy.

Heng Yu followed the sound and was surprised for a moment: "Miss Su?"

"It's me!" Su Lianniang had already walked towards her quickly, and took her hand affectionately, with a strong smile on her face, but her eyes were slightly red: "I really didn't expect to be lucky enough to see Miss Jier again..."

The girl in front of her has a very different meaning to her.

When some things happen, if the solutions are different, the attitudes of the people around you are different, and no one gives you strength at the most critical moment, the heart will be crushed, it will be a moment or a lifetime.

Heng Yu smiled and said, "I never expected to see Miss Su here."

On the side, Mr. Su, who was originally sitting, had already got up from the chair, straightened his sleeves a little nervously, and signaled Xiao Mu with his eyes frequently.

Master Hou is staring at the little girl, why don't you introduce him quickly!

"Painter Ji, this is Mr. Su." Seeing Heng Yu looking at him, Xiao Mu introduced them one by one: "This is the lady of the Su family."

"It's my father and mother." Su Lianniang walked over holding Heng Yu's hand.

Heng Yu then raised his hand to salute.

"Miss Ji..." The woman standing next to Mr. Su hurriedly returned the gift to Hengyu: "I often hear Lianniang mentioning Miss Ji, today I finally have the opportunity to thank you in person!"

Mr. Su, who had already opened his mouth but was rushed by his wife, was secretly anxious.

How can you steal the words of the head of the family from him!
"Aunt, you're being polite. The family is just doing things according to common sense, so I don't deserve a word of thanks."

"Why not?" The woman sighed softly: "Lianniang has told me in detail that Miss Ji is not only sensible and decisive, but also protects her very much. Afterwards, she made a special trip to ask Mr. Jilang to write a book and send it back to You State, to solve the knot between my husband and wife..."

Mr. Su: "..."

Is this woman unwilling to leave him a word?
Miss Ji can't even look at him until now!
"If it wasn't for your house, we alone would have nowhere to seek justice. My poor Lianniang, I really want to be surnamed Cao for nothing—"

"Cough!" Mr. Su hurriedly coughed and interrupted the old wife's words.

This is Mr. Qinghan's granddaughter!

How could a young artist who was educated by a scholarly family hear such vulgar words!

The woman paused slightly after being interrupted by him, and said again: "I'm afraid I will be fooled and bullied by that beast surnamed Cao for nothing!"

The smile on Mr. Su's face froze for a moment.

This change can be regarded as unnecessary...

Seeing that his wife wanted to say more, Mr. Su, who had "Miss Ji, look at me" written all over his face, forced himself to take up the topic, and exchanged sincere greetings with Heng Yu.

During the conversation during the banquet, after drinking for three rounds, Mr. Su also recited several poems by Mr. Qinghan, to the point of grief, tears streaming down his face, and his thigh was pinched severely by his old wife under the table in disgust.

After the banquet, Xiao Mu ordered someone to send the Su family back.

"Mr. Su moved here with his whole family, and it is not suitable for him to live in the Hou Mansion. Military Division Yan has already arranged a residence in the city." On the way out of the dining room, Xiao Mu and Heng Yu were talking.

"Hou Ye is really a model of courteous and virtuous corporals."

Xiao Mu turned his head to look at her when he heard the words, and asked in doubt: "...Is there anything that you can't use to flatter me?"

No matter what he said or did, she always seemed to find a flattering angle immediately.

"How can it be a flattery? It's clearly a sincere compliment."

Xiao Mu let out a soft "oh", looked forward, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He walked very slowly, and his figure in a cloak looked even more imposing in the night.

A gust of night wind blew up, and he put his fist against his mouth and coughed twice restrainedly.

Hearing the coughing sound, Heng Yuben also retracted the corners of his mouth.

His "illness" has never improved at all, has it?
"The hot spring village outside the city... If you are free, I will arrange for someone to take you and your mother to live there after Dazhu's gift of the lottery in the future." Xiao Mu stopped coughing, his voice still hoarse .

Heng Yu seemed a little distracted, and nodded slightly.

Xiao Mu stared ahead, didn't hear her answer, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Don't you like to be in trouble?"

"No way, I like it." Heng Yu half recovered, "Master Hou, do you want to go soaking with me?"

"?"

Xiao Mu stopped suddenly, and when he stiffly turned his head to look at her, although his face was still calm, there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Hengyu opened his mouth, showing a stiff smile, and explained: "This is together, not the other. I just want to invite Lord Hou to go with me."

Xiao Mu coughed again, but it was clear.

"I won't go."

"But Lord Hou... he is just recovering from his illness, and he has old wounds from the battlefield on his body, so he should take care of it." Heng Yu took a quick step, turned around and stood halfway in front of him, and persuaded him earnestly: "If there is any For official business, you can take it with you. And I heard from my aunt, that Zhuangzi is not too far away, and it is not troublesome to go back and forth."

Goodwill should be mutual, she thinks so, and she does it subconsciously without thinking about it.

Xiao Mu stopped and looked at the girl in front of her with her face slightly raised.

"Is it important?" He seemed to be asking her, and he seemed to be asking himself: "Is my injury or life and death really important?"

In the past eight years, he occasionally had such doubts.

"Of course it's important!" The girl nodded her head without hesitation, and the moment her bright eyes met his gaze, she corrected as if she had some insight: "Master Hou shouldn't have such doubts—ordinary people are trying to survive in every possible way. How can someone like Hou Ye who is related to the safety of the world and is almost regarded as a god not value himself?"

Xiao Mu looked at her quietly for a moment, then asked slowly: "Is it true that all the people in this world need me to guard?"

"Naturally." The girl said seriously: "I am also a member of the world, so I have the final say."

She is also a person of the world.

and so--

Everything is quiet, the winter days are cold and the nights are cold, and everything is withered under the frozen soil, but it seems that life is brewing all the time, waiting for the arrival of spring.

Seeing that she seemed to want to say more, Xiao Mu raised his hand to stop him: "Okay, there's no need to kiss any more—"

The tone of voice has disappeared just now, just like the tranquility of an ancient well that has been around for thousands of years.

"The hot spring Zhuangzi?"

Xiao Mu put his hands behind his back, took a step away from her, and walked forward.

"I will consider it now."

Heng Yu smiled and stepped up to follow.

However, half a quarter of an hour later, after separating from Xiao Mu, she looked around the road, not knowing what to distinguish, and then lifted her feet and sat down in the gazebo beside her.

Cuihuai followed her: "It's cold in the night, won't the girl go back to rest?"

"Don't worry, just sit down for a while."

And this sitting took more than half an hour.

Hengyu was too cold to sit still, the hood on the fur coat had already been put on, the tip of her nose and cheeks were reddish, her hands were pressed together to her lips, and she breathed lightly.

When Cui Huai was about to stop persuading her, she suddenly heard her daughter shout, "Doctor Yan!"

Yan Ming, who had just set foot on this path, was frowning and concentrating, and was almost frightened when he heard this call in the night.

Following the sound, he saw a girl in fox fur walking towards him quickly.

"Master Ji?" He looked around and saw no one else except her maid, so he asked in puzzlement, "How could Master Ji be here at such a time?"

"I'm here to wait for Doctor Yan."

Yan Ming's eyes moved slightly when he heard the words, "How did Master Ji know that I would definitely pass by here?"

"Guess."

Yan Ming's whole body silently raised a trace of vigilance.

Guess what?

Guess he must have been in the general courtyard before?

He is a military doctor, not a staff officer with official duties——

"Then I don't know why Master Ji made a special trip to wait here?"

I didn't invite him directly, but blocked him here late at night, so it's impossible to seek him for medical treatment.

Sure enough, he heard the other party say: "If I have something to ask, I wonder if Junjun Yan can move forward?"

Yan Ming looked at her for a moment, and after hesitating, finally nodded slightly.

　Good night everyone, sweet dreams~
