Chapter 180 Talking privately about the prince's visit

Yu San felt ashamed, and was determined to continue to trace the origin of this person. Mou Biao was also very annoyed when he heard the news.
"I took a few punches with all my strength before I took him down. I was killed so easily. Didn't I suffer in vain?"

Mou Biao replied,

"Auntie, everyone else is dead, and they still want to kill me in a dream. It seems that they turned into ghosts and haunted me!"

Wu Yiniang was shocked when she heard the words, women in the house like her believe in ghosts and gods the most, and she didn't need her son to say that she was thinking of ghosts. At that time, she was so scared that her little face turned pale. She thought about it and said,
"This injustice has a head and a debtor, and you didn't kill him. He wants to find... Yu San'er!"

Mu Biao gave a wry smile,
"Auntie, I caught him back!"

Fifth Auntie's little face became even paler.
"Then...then what should I do..."

After finishing speaking, he twisted his handkerchief, bit his lip, thought for a while and said,

"I heard that the Lingjue Temple outside the city is the most effective in expelling ghosts and evil spirits. Let's go get some talismans and stick them in this house, so that evil ghosts can't haunt you!"

Mu Biao nodded,

"Auntie is right, you will go to Lingjue Temple tomorrow and ask for the talisman to come back earlier, so my son can sleep in peace!"

Fifth Yiniang clasped the veil tightly and nodded, her face was pale, her eyes looked around in horror, after thinking about it she called Jin Zhudao,
"Go quickly and find that pair of golden scissors from the embroidery basket in my room, and put it under the pillow for Master Eighth..."

Jin Zhu went as promised, and after a short while brought a pair of bright and golden scissors, Mou Biao watched Wu Yiniang stuffing the golden scissors under his pillow with some dumbfounding.

"Auntie, isn't this a gift from my father? You are usually very precious. You can keep this thing yourself. My son doesn't need it!"

Fifth Aunt replied,
"Who says it's not necessary? Although these scissors are not as good as talismans, they can be used for one night at least. Aunt Ming'er will go to ask the master in the temple!"

This room Mou Biao coaxed Fifth Auntie to go out before dawn the next day, and he called the maids and women in the courtyard to come over and say,

"I have a guest coming to visit today. I didn't tell you not to come forward, but let the young master hide behind!"

The maids and women knew his nature, no one dared to disobey him, they all bowed their heads, and Mou Biao just stood there with his hands behind his back, circling back and forth in the empty main hall, anxiously waiting for Si Lian to arrive.

Jia Silian got up before dawn today, went to Zaoji to buy a chicken and came back, killed the chicken and removed the feathers, chopped it, put it in the pot and stewed it, Wulian and Liulian smelled the aroma, and they were so greedy. Drooling, Liulian Road,
"Fourth sister, what kind of chicken soup are you serving for Mr. Mou? He is a wealthy family who has never eaten delicacies from mountains and seas. Do you care about your chicken?"

It's better to stay at home and give us to eat!

Si Lian knew what her sister was thinking, and said with an annoyed smile,
"You don't need to argue. I just put some soup in Mr. Mou's place. Isn't the meat in this soup all yours?"

Liu Lian cheered when she heard the words,
"Fourth sister is so nice!"

The chicken soup had been boiled for two hours, Si Lian saw that it was almost done, so she found a clean porcelain pot, skimmed off the oil slick on the chicken soup, and spooned the chicken soup in. The remaining half of the chicken soup and the whole chicken were kept Gave it to two sisters.

Five lotus and six lotus are overjoyed,
"Father is not here today, Fourth Sister will go to Mou's Mansion to eat well, this whole chicken is ours!"

The two smiled and watched Si Lian leave, then turned to look at the chicken soup,
"Fifth Sister, add more water and let's boil it..."

Regardless of the two younger sisters, Jia Silian got into the carriage and drove to Mou's mansion. When she arrived at the gate of the mansion, Mou Hu had already stood on tiptoe and looked around. Seeing her coming, she hurried up to meet her.
"Miss Silian, let's go this way..."

Now Mou Biao has moved the yard, and the place where he lives is next to the outer wall. They turned the corner, entered an alley, and came to a side door. The black painted door was half-closed at this moment.

"Miss Silian, please come in..."

Jia Silian went in with Mou Hu, this time was no better than the last time, there was no need to beat around the bush in the house, she entered from the side, it was the courtyard, and through the outer courtyard to the second gate, there was another small courtyard.
"Master, Miss Silian is here!"

Mou Hu yelled inside, and Mou Biao rushed out from the hall immediately, saying happily,

"Four lotus!"

Jia Silian looked him up and down, she felt a little thinner than before, but her eyes were bright and she could move freely. Thinking about the injury, she has healed up a lot, so she said with a smile,

"Xiao Lin, is your injury healed?"

Mou Biao smiled and came over to hold her hand,
"Okay, okay, it's already done!"

This room pulled her into the main hall, and the two sat opposite each other at the table, Jia Silian opened the cloth package in her hand, revealing the thick porcelain pot inside, she blushed slightly and smiled,

"Xiao Lin, you are injured, I have nothing to help you, I can only cook you a bowl of chicken soup, you... don't dislike..."

Seeing this, Mu Biao narrowed his eyes with a smile, and hurriedly said,
"Don't dislike it! Don't dislike it!"

Mou Biao didn't need Silian to do it, he lifted the lid and smelled it himself.

"It smells so good!"

Jia Silian said shyly,

"I just stewed a chicken, and didn't put anything beside it, I'm afraid the taste of the soup is a bit bland..."

Mou Biao didn't need a bowl when he took it, he just drank it from the mouth of the can, took a sip and said,
"I like this kind of taste, light is the original taste!"

Mou Long and Mou Hu stood aside to hear the words, quietly raised their heads to look at their young master, Mou Hu curled his lips,

"At dinner last night, the young master scolded the woman on the stove for cooking less oil and less salt, the food was tasteless!"

In order for Mou Biao to heal his injuries these few days, Fifth Yiniang specifically told the stove to cook lightly, and even the favorite meat dishes were halved, and the young master kept yelling that the birds had faded out of his mouth, how could... The bird in the mouth can't come out now?

Mou Biao drank the chicken soup in one gulp, smiled and boasted,
"Silian's craftsmanship is much better than the cooks in our house..."

Jia Silian smiled shyly,

"How dare my skills compare with the cooks in the house, but I can only cook some home-cooked dishes!"

Mou Biao glanced at the two young men standing beside them like wooden stakes. He felt that the two were an eyesore, so he pulled Si Lian to say,
"Come on, let's go to the study..."

The two of them came to the study room. Si Lian had seen Mou Biao's study room last time. His study room was divided into two halves, with bookshelves on one side and weapons hung on the wall on the other side. There was a long desk near the window. Pens, inks, papers and inkstones were placed messily on the top, and there was an open book pressed down with a small dagger. Si Lian leaned over to take a look, but it was a "Tiger Bell Sutra".
"Is Xiao Lin reading military books?"

Mu Biao smiled and said,
"Now I don't have time to go to Mr.'s place in the yamen, so I will take a look at home..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly woke up and wondered,
"Si Lian can read, but also know that this is a book of war?"

Startled, Jia Silian hurriedly pointed to the formation picture drawn on the page to cover up,

"I looked at the little people painted on it, it seemed that they were fighting against each other, so I just said it casually..."

Mou Biao was not suspicious when he heard the words, he laughed and said,

"Silian is really smart. You can tell it's a book of war just by looking at it... In the future, when you have time, I will teach you how to read. With your intelligence, you must be able to learn it in no time!"

Jia Silian nodded with a smile. Just as Mou Biao was about to speak again, Mou Hu hurried in outside.

"Master! Master..."

Mou Hu hurriedly poked his head into the study,
"Master..."

Seeing him winking, Mou Biao obviously had something to say that he couldn't say in front of Si Lian, so he took two steps outside,
"what's up?"

"Prince...His Royal Highness is here!"

"Prince?"

Mou Biao frowned, what is he doing here?
He looked back at Silian and asked Mou Hu,

"Where is the prince?"

Mou Hu replied,

"Just outside in the main hall... in casual clothes, with a eunuch by my side..."

Mou Biao frowned again, thought for a while, turned around and said to Si Lian,
"Silian, wait for me in this study, the crown prince came suddenly, I want to go out to meet..."

It is a very rare chance for a common man like Jia Silian to be able to associate with Mou Biao, not to mention the prince, when he heard that it was the prince who came, he couldn't help being stunned, a little at a loss what to do,

"Then...then I might as well go back first..."

She is not from this house, the crown prince is here, shouldn't she just put on a guard of honor and avoid it?

Mou Biao hurriedly shook his head, took her hand and said softly,

"Don't be afraid, the prince came here in disguise, he should just want to talk to me, you just stay in this study, don't move around!"

Jia Silian nodded hurriedly,

"Okay, I'll just stay here and not go anywhere!"

Mou Biao nodded at her, and turned back to tell Mou Hu,
"You went to bring tea to Si Lian, and then guarded outside..."

Mou Hu responded, and Mou Biao came out of the study and hurried to the front hall. When he saw the white-robed young man sitting upright, he fell down and bowed.

"His Royal Highness, Chitose!"

Seeing him, Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, looked him up and down and said,

"I met Master Mou in the palace yesterday and asked about Xiao Lin's recent situation. I was shocked to hear that you were injured. It just so happens that the palace is free today, so I came out to see you..."

After that, he raised his hand to signal him to stand up.
"Xiao Lin doesn't need to be too polite, I'm going out of the palace in low clothes, this is an ordinary visit..."

Mou Biao got up and stood with hands down,

"My minister is only a little injured, I don't want to alarm His Highness..."

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said,
"Xiao Lin joined the yamen as an errand at a young age. This time, I heard that he captured a strange man from the Jianghu. Yes, tell me about it?"

Mou Biao briefly recounted what he had encountered in Miaofeng Mountain, Zhu Houzhao listened and shook his head,
"Xiao Lin... This trip is very dangerous. This means that this person underestimates the enemy. If he had set up a killer at that time, Xiao Lin might be in danger. He should bring guards with him when he goes out in the future!"

"What His Royal Highness said is very true. My father has repeatedly told me that I have suffered a loss this time, so I know how powerful it is!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded, stood up and asked,
"Were you in the study just now?"

Mu Biao nodded,

"I have nothing to do, I am reading a book in the study..."

"So, let's talk in the study!"
