Chapter 72

As the Spring Festival approached, Haiyue Villa also began to decorate the mansion, and even the whole of Xijing was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.

But there is no need for Su Hailing to worry about this. Yang Wan is indeed a very shrewd and capable woman. Not only does she manage the internal affairs of Haiyue Villa in an orderly manner, but all kinds of news, large and small, gathered by the eyeliner of the Three Kingdoms, reach Su Hailing after passing through her hands. Here, everything has become a piece of clear little piece of paper, which is clear at a glance.

Mu Qingchen has always disliked bustle, the small courtyard he lives in is also the most secluded corner of the mansion, but there is a corner door that leads directly to the street, which is convenient for him to occasionally go out to the pharmacy to pick up herbs.

When Su Hailing stepped into the courtyard, Mu Qingchen was arranging herbs.

The winter sun shone on his white clothes, giving off a golden glow.

"Is the matter over?" Mu Qingchen raised his head to see her and asked lightly.

"Yeah." Su Hailing naturally took the bamboo basket from him, spread out the herbs, put them in the sun, and said, "It's not that there are no herbs in the mansion, why make yourself so hard."

"It's better for me to choose myself." Mu Qingchen smiled lightly.

"I can't bear it." Su Hailing sighed, "If I knew it, I would have tied Situ Ye back together. It's been so long, you still..."

"Do you think my medical skills are inferior to that quack doctor?" Mu Qingchen glared at her.

"No, no." Su Hailing hurriedly changed the subject, "Qingchen, come, I have a surprise for you."

"What surprise?" Mu Qingchen was taken aback, before she had time to ask, she was leading her into the house.

"You'll know it when you see it." Su Hailing smiled, opened the door, then turned behind him, pushed him in gently.

Mu Qingchen looked back at her inexplicably.

"My lord!" At this moment, a petite figure suddenly rushed over from the room.

Mu Qingchen's body was not as quick as before, and Su Hailing was blocking him behind him, so he didn't dodge, but was bumped headfirst into his arms by someone who came.

"My lord, I finally see you!" The man cried and laughed while hugging him.

"Mu Xin?" Mu Qingchen asked in a daze.

"My lord, Mu Xin misses you so much!" Mu Xin raised a teary face, full of grievances.

"Why are you here?" Mu Qingchen frowned, "You went down Xiaohan Mountain alone?"

"No." Mu Xin took a peek at Su Hailing, and said in a low voice, "Ms. Su sent someone to pick her up. Sister Cai said she wanted to take care of the house, so she didn't want to come."

Su Hailing stood on the sidelines and watched them reminiscing about the old days. Suddenly, a ball of fluffy snowball jumped over, climbed up her shoulder skillfully in a few strokes, and made a few "cheeps" with a triumphant expression.

"Xuexue." Su Hailing patted the little fox on the head with a smile.

"Troublesome!" Mu Qingchen reprimanded lightly.

Su Hailing shrugged, only teasing Xuexue.

"Ah!" Mu Xin exclaimed suddenly, "My lord, your hair!"

"I'm fine, don't make a fuss." Mu Qingchen interrupted.

"But, but..." Mu Xin looked at him, then at Su Hailing, blinked, and the remaining tears fell down.

"Okay, why are you crying!" Mu Qingchen's expression sank, and his voice sank.

"That's right, it's New Year's Eve." Su Hailing stroked Mu Xin's hair and said gently.

"Young master, can Mu Xin follow you in the future?" Mu Xin asked.

"En." Mu Qingchen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Su Hailing couldn't help but smile, she knew that what she was going to do would be very dangerous, and it was very likely that people around her would be involved. If it was Mu Qingchen before, she would naturally not worry about his safety, but now... only the moves are not. Internal strength is okay against ordinary people, but it will be troublesome for masters.And Mu Xin is not only good at martial arts, but also someone who has been with him for many years, even if he can relieve his boredom.

"Thank you son, thank you Miss Su." Mu Xin was still in tears, showing a sweet smile.

"Thank you? Silly boy." Su Hailing smiled and shook his head, "Let's go, I'll take you out to eat tonight."

"What's your plan?" Unlike Mu Xin's happy face, Mu Qingchen raised his eyebrows clearly.

"It's really nothing." Su Hailing smiled wryly, "I just want to take you out to relax. Didn't you say that the crispy duck in Zuiyuelou is delicious?"

"Really?" Mu Qingchen said.

"Okay, let's go and listen to the messages between the marketers." Su Hailing raised his hands in surrender.

Mu Qingchen has seven senses and six senses about feelings, but he is surprisingly sensitive about other aspects, he might as well confess on his own initiative.

Mu Xin looked at Su Hailing in a daze.

"Mu Xin, you don't have to worry about these things." Su Hailing picked up a thick snow fox fur and put it on Mu Qingchen, saying, "You just need to take care of Qingchen like you were on Xiaohan Mountain."

"En!" Mu Xin nodded heavily.

Mu Qingchen put on the veil dissatisfied, and gave Mu Xin another one.

"Why do you have to wear this all the way down the mountain? It's so uncomfortable to come all the way." Mu Xin asked doubtfully.

"Because the women at the bottom of the mountain are too bad and Mu Xin is so beautiful, so I can't be seen by them." Su Hailing said.

"Is Mu Xin beautiful?" Mu Xin's eyes were shining with starlight, even though she was covered by a veil, she could still see a touch of red on the base of her ears.

"Yes." Su Hailing grabbed Xuexue who was licking her ear and threw it to Mu Xin.

Xuexue immediately drooped her cute little ears aggrieved, and shrank into Mu Xin's arms.

"Okay, let's go." Su Hailing nodded in satisfaction, and walked out holding Mu Qingchen's hand.

She had explained to Yang Wan a long time ago, so she didn't disturb the people in the village, and went directly to the street through the corner gate of the small courtyard.

Mu Xin missed Mu Qingchen along the way, and had no intention of admiring the customs and customs along the way. Now that he was by Mu Qingchen's side, as soon as his heart settled down, the boy's natural curiosity immediately popped up, and he kept looking around. They almost ran into people.

Su Hailing turned his small face back funny, and tapped his forehead with his fingertips: "You can see the whole street on the second floor of Zuiyue Tower, so don't be so impatient."

"Oh..." Mu Xin lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Here we are!" Su Hailing stopped in front of a beautifully decorated restaurant.

"Good!" Just as Mu Qingchen was about to speak, there was a burst of applause and loud applause in the restaurant.

"What's wrong?" Mu Xin asked blankly.

"The storytelling in Zuiyuelou is also a masterpiece." Su Hailing smiled and led them into the door.

"Three guests, please come inside, the private seats upstairs are still..." The second young lady immediately came out with a smile on her face.

"Upstairs, find us a seat by the window." Su Hailing said calmly.

"Yes, please." The second young lady hurriedly led the way.

Mu Xin looked at the restaurant curiously, and saw that the lobby on the first floor was full of businessmen in ordinary clothes, surrounded by a small mahogany desk, and a middle-aged woman with a weathered face seemed to have just said After finishing a section of the book, he was smiling and clasping his hands together.

With a sound of ding-dong, a lot of broken silver and copper plates fell into a bamboo basket on the desk.

"Haha~" The woman seemed to say something, and all the idlers in the lobby laughed heartily.I don't know who shouted: "Hey, master, don't talk about these well-known things! Today, let us tell us about the three-color rose water Ruoyan last month after he stripped the licentious thief in Liuxian Hang it upside down on the city wall to show the public!"

"No, no! You should tell me which young lady, Miss Hua Yuting, who is a romantic woman, has cheated away the young master recently, and how can she send the young man's heart!" Someone else yelled loudly.

Immediately, the hall roared with laughter, and even the storyteller's lips twitched, and finally couldn't help but slapped the gavel, feigning anger, "Did I say it or you?"

The diners obviously knew her very well, so they didn't take it seriously, and continued to play around.

"Boring." After sitting down, Mu Qingchen glanced at the stairs and said disdainfully.

"People in the market, it's just a little pastime." Su Hailing smiled nonchalantly, called the second sister over, ordered his favorite crispy duck, and served it with a few light and delicious side dishes.

"Okay, guest officer, just wait a moment, the food will be served soon!" The second young lady rushed to the kitchen immediately.

Mu Xin had already been lying on the railing, looking at the bustling street downstairs.

Delicate semi-open screens are placed between the seats on the second floor, so as not to disturb each other, but not to feel deserted.

Mu Qingchen took off the veil on his face and put it aside, took a sip from his teacup.

Soon, the food and wine were served. The roasted golden and tender duck was fat but not greasy. It was served with thin pancakes, shallots and unique sauce. The Peking Duck was poor.

Su Hailing picked up a piece of bread, rolled duck meat and sent it to Mu Qingchen's mouth: "Eat it while it's hot."

"I have hands and feet, I want you to be troublesome!" Mu Qingchen glared at her, and bit down as if to vent.

"Mu Xin, eat first!" Su Hailing pulled the wooden box back and sat down, took Xuexue into his arms and took a piece of duck meat to feed it.

"Is there what you want here?" Mu Qingchen said.

"The restaurant is the place where the three religions and nine streams are most concentrated." Su Hailing smiled faintly, stroked Xuexue's silky long hair, and said, "Don't underestimate these businessmen, they walk around all year round, and they are well-informed."

"Ah, General Lan, this way please!" Suddenly, the voice of the second sister came over.

General Blue?Su Hailing's heart moved, and he turned his head to look, only to see a vigorous young woman walking up the stairs, dressed in a blue dress, with a soldier's demeanor in every gesture, which gave her a sense of intimacy for no reason.

At this moment, the only young woman in Xijing who can be called "General Lan" is Lan Qinshuang who just came back from the border!
As if seeing her probing gaze, Lan Qinshuang looked over keenly.

However, her eyes fell on Mu Qingchen, and after a moment of stunned, a look of joy appeared between her brows, and she also walked over.

Su Hailing frowned slightly, and put down his chopsticks.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qingchen turned his head and said.

"This must be the famous General Lan Qinshuang." Su Hailing stood up and said solemnly.

"I'm ashamed, I'm Lan Qinshuang." Lan Qinshuang answered absent-mindedly, without asking her name, and only stared at Mu Qingchen.

"Miss Su." Mu Xin said cautiously, "You said that Mu Xin and Young Master are beautiful, so you have to wear a veil, and you can't let bad women see. Is she a bad woman?"

"Pfft—cough cough..." Su Hailing almost choked on his own saliva, and his face flushed red.

Only then did Lan Qinshuang realize her rudeness, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Mu Xin, don't be rude." Mu Qingchen said calmly.

"Oh." Mu Xin looked at Su Hailing again, lowered his head and fiddled with a piece of fish in the bowl.

"Young master, we meet again." Lan Qinshuang quickly returned to her normal state. Obviously, it should be a very cool thing to do, but she did it very freely and naturally, not annoying.

"Have I seen you?" Mu Qingchen was stunned and asked in doubt.

"Uh..." Lan Qinshuang was speechless for a moment.

Although she hadn't seen his real face last time, she would never admit that he was wrong with that hair color and those clear eyes!
Su Hailing secretly laughed in his heart, although he was ignored by Lan Qinshuang, but this girl was ignored by Qingchen?Mu Qingchen never remembers people who don't care.

However, seeing her lover's puzzled face, she still kindly reminded: "Qingchen, when you met those five tyrants of Xijing on the street yesterday, wasn't it General Lan who helped you out?"

Mu Qingchen thought for a while, and finally came to his senses, but uttered a sentence: "Mind your own business."

Lan Qinshuang only felt that there were black lines all over her forehead, why did she think this man was as elegant as a fairy last time?Obviously a very bad character!But... it's even more attractive.

"General Lan, please sit down." Su Hailing smiled, called the second young lady who was standing aside, and ordered her to add another set of tableware and cook a few more dishes.

"Thank you." Lan Qinshuang's attention finally fell on her, remembering the return of the green pearl, she bowed back and said, "Miss is the owner of Haiyue Villa?"

"Exactly." Su Hailing nodded, then looked at Mu Qingchen and said, "Yesterday the general came out to rescue my husband. Originally, I ordered Director Yang to post a post in a few days to invite the general to come to the house to explain, but since we met by chance today , I thank you in advance.”

"Miss, you're welcome. I'm a soldier, and I despise women who bully men the most." Lan Qinshuang smiled heartily, concealing the sour feeling in her heart when she heard the word "husband".

He...as expected, he is already married.

But Mu Qingchen raised his eyebrows and was about to explode.

Su Hailing's eyes were quick, and he pressed his hand.

Mu Qingchen snorted coldly, turned his head away, he no longer had any good feelings for Lan Qinshuang in his heart.

Bullying men?Is he easy to bully?
Lan Qinshuang didn't notice their small movements, and was about to speak, when suddenly Mu Xin's words just slipped through her mind, making her heart skip a beat, and hurriedly said, "Miss, is your surname Su?"

"That's right." Su Hailing turned around and looked at her with a half-smile.I believe that with Marshal Lan's ability, he will naturally not fail to find out the truth of the old incident three years ago.

"Excuse me, Miss's name?" Lan Qinshuang lowered her voice, and her eyes became serious.

"Me?" Su Hailing looked at her for a while, his eyes were full of evaluation, and he said slowly, "My name is Su Hailing."
