Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 8 Brother, he asked me to call you to pay him

Didn't you say that the military has changed?She thought that the "accident" of calling Mu Xiuning back in such a hurry must not be a trivial matter, and it would have been delayed for ten days and a half months, why did he come back within three days?
It seems that no matter whether it was in this life or the previous life, the accident in the army before her return to Beijing was not accidental.

interesting.

Mu Xici's lips curled slightly as she thought about it. The more plots Mo Shuyuan and Mu Shiyan had, the more interesting she found them; the more interesting they were, the more she was willing to spend some time digging a comfortable place for them of burial pits.

——If you don’t fall to the bottom and fall to your death, you will never find out who is doing the tricks, the kind where no one knows.

The half-grown girl smiled sadly, and this laugh made Lingqin, who was about to enter the room, shiver. She looked at her young lady with concern in her eyes: "Miss, are you alright?"

"Ok?"

"You have a creepy smile now, did you wake up too early today and got caught in the wind on the way back from visiting the old lady?" Ling Qin hesitated, she heard that people with wind on their face would be like Mu Xici Generally, the facial expression cannot be controlled, and what's more, the mouth is crooked and the eyes are squinted, commonly known as facial paralysis.

"...Lingqin." Upon hearing this, Mu Xici suddenly stopped laughing, and put on a delicate face, "Otherwise, I'd better continue teaching you how to write."

"Ah...Miss, the servant girl suddenly remembered that we haven't finished sweeping the courtyard today, so let's go down and clean it first! Besides, Young Master Ning has been waiting outside for a long time, you should go out!" Hearing the word "writing", Lingqin The color changed almost instantly, and he ran away with his skirt in his hand after making excuses. Mu Xici looked at the little girl's back and shook his head with a smile—this girl has a childish temper after all.

Mu Xici leisurely flipped through the small stack of papers that had just been written on the table, then got up to fetch the delicate cloak that was pressed by her at the bottom of the box with a slightly damaged hem, and walked out of the room unhurriedly.

She doesn't have many memories about this second elder brother in her mind. When she returned to the Duke's Mansion, Mu Xiuning had already been on the front line. The only and last time the siblings met was after he returned to Beijing to report on his duties. , before starting again.

The little general in red and silver armor straddled the horse and bent over to touch the top of her hair. His palms were rough and covered with calluses from the long halberds. His eyes were bent, filled with the wind and frost of the desert. There is a hideous scar crawling.

He said, little sister, wait for your brother to come back, and bring you some golden silk jade that you can only find in the desert.

He said that when the time comes, let her inlay those jades on the crown. He said that his precious sister should have what other little girls have, so that none of them will be lost.

She watched the man and the horse disappear on the road in the suburbs of Beijing, and the yellow sand raised by the horse's hooves caught her eyes.

It never occurred to her that that side was farewell.

Later, Mu Xiuning was hacked to death in the desert by the rebels. His body was chopped into countless small pieces by the enemy who hated him. His head was hung on the city gate and exposed to the sun for many days and nights, until she led Gan The soldiers trampled on that small frontier country.

Before that, she went back and forth to get his relics - a broken battle armor, a broken halberd, and a heavy bag of gold silk jade stained with blood.

She never inlaid those jades on the crown, she made them into a one-foot-square astrolabe, and she took it to one battlefield after another, and finally it collapsed on the eve of her being poisoned to death by Mo Shuyuan.

Mu Xici closed her eyes, collected her thoughts and took a deep breath, and when she raised her eyes again, she caught a glimpse of the handsome young man.

The half-grown boy who has not been eroded by the yellow sand in the frontier is wanton and flamboyant, with a bit of cynicism unique to young people in his brows. Seeing his intact fair face, Mu Xici almost shed tears .

What kind of wind and sand did it have to make such a handsome young man in fresh clothes and angry horses have such haggard and vicissitudes of life?

"Second brother." Mu Xici's throat was slightly congested, and Mu Xiuning grinned when he heard that, "Hey."

He looked at the half-grown girl in front of him quite at a loss, standing on the ground stupidly and didn't know what to say for a while, but Mu Xici saw his nervousness and embarrassment, and smiled: "Second brother, I heard His Highness the Seventh Highness say you There was an incident in the army, but can it all be resolved now? It doesn’t matter.”

"Damn! I was a little annoyed when you mentioned this. I thought that something big happened in such a hurry. How could I have thought that it was just a few brats who had just joined the army? How dare I After running this trip, I was so angry that I kicked each of them ten times with the military stick!" When it came to military affairs, the red-robed boy obviously relaxed a lot.

After hearing this, Mu Xici raised his eyebrows thoughtfully: "That's it."

It is common for recruits to fight, and the corporal leader with a little experience can fix it neatly, and Mu Xiuning doesn't need to deal with it himself.

Sure enough, someone released the news.

"Well, that's it." Mu Xiuning nodded, then rubbed his hands together, and took out a small cloth bag from his bosom. The white cloth veil was wrapped with a piece of fine silk, and inside the silk lay a branch. Exquisite jade hairpin, "By the way, little girl, I heard from them that the daughter's family likes beautiful clothes and jewelry. When I returned home, I passed by Zhilan Building, so I bought a hairpin along the way. Look, can you return it?" satisfied?"

"It's pretty." Mu Xici glanced at Yuzan, nodded symbolically and politely, "It's just second brother, I don't like hairpins, your little sister."

"Ah? I don't like hairpins—" Mu Xiuning was dumbfounded when he heard that, and subconsciously stretched out his hands and scratched his head, with a dumbfounded and silly expression, "Then what do you like?"

"I like... I don't like anything right now, but there are a few things I want, second brother, look at it?" Mu Xici bent his eyes like a little fox, and pulled his brother to sit in the courtyard with a smile. Next, Mu Xiuning put away the hairpin and nodded, with high spirits: "Just tell me, as long as my brother can get it for you, I will definitely get it!"

"Don't worry, they are all ordinary objects." Mu Xi said, "Second brother, I want three peach trees, six plum trees, nine pear trees and one apricot tree."

"Peach trees, pear trees, plum trees, etc., can bloom and bear fruit at will, but apricot trees must be able to bear fruit. Also, second brother, can you bring me with you when you do morning exercises at home from tomorrow?" Mu Xici said a little She nodded her cheeks, "I want to exercise and exercise, and I will learn two tricks from you by the way."

"It's easy to talk about, but little girl, what do you want so many trees for?" Nineteen trees, the sum of the trees in his yard might not be able to catch up with a fraction of what she wanted!

"Look~" Mu Xici gritted his teeth, "Brother, don't you think my Fulanxuan courtyard is empty and something is missing?"

"Well, that's right." Mu Xiuning looked around and nodded. The Fulanxuan courtyard in the Duke's Mansion is the largest and the least populated. "Then why are only apricot trees able to bear fruit?"

"Because I want to eat apricots." Mu Xici smiled, and lifted the cloak in his arms as he spoke, "One more thing - His Highness the Seventh Prince lent me his cloak, and he said let me Call you to pay him."

"?" The smile on Mu Xiuning's face froze for a moment, he felt that he didn't need this month's salary.

　These nineteen trees are very important, Ah Ci is going to play big

　　From now on, Mo Junli tried to climb over the wall to talk to Ah Ci every day, but was trapped on the wall every day

　　Mu Shiyan tried to send someone to break into Ah Ci's yard, but she couldn't find the door at all.
