56 No, did you say kiss?
"Then I can take you to meet some. They are all staying in Fangchun Pavilion. Fangchun Pavilion is the play place of Miss Shi's family, and there are indeed a lot of interesting things in it. Su Hewei pulled Mu Xi'an and went to Fangchun Pavilion.
The ancestors of the Shi family celebrate their birthday, and there are many people in Shi's house, especially when they pass through the garden. There are many princes and ladies sitting in it, who are also known by Mu Xi. Through the garden, cross the stone bridge and arrive at the Fangchun Pavilion of Shi Daixiao, the second lady of the Shi family.
The Shi family has only five granddaughters. In addition to the marriage, there are only two granddaughters left in the family. Shi Daiyao is the youngest one and the one most loved by the ancestors.
Just look at this Fangchun Pavilion and you will know that in summer, Fangchun Pavilion is surrounded by light pink curtain tents. As the breeze continues to drift, it can be seen that the figures in the attic are shaking, and today the attic is even more lively.
At the door, Su Hewei heard the voice of her second sister Su and Zi and immediately stopped.
Mu Xi ran a blind eye to her expression and took her hand and went straight in. Seeing several ladies talking about poetry and painting there, she came over and looked at the newly painted landscape ink.
When Su and Zi saw the two, they immediately raised the corners of their mouths and put their hands around their chests. "I heard that Miss Mu Jia's second can't read. Since you can't read, what else do you want to install here? Can you still understand Miss Shi's poems?
Su and Zi's strong irony immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room, especially when they heard that the second lady of the Mu family could not read, and Mu Xi'an glanced at Yi Han behind Su and Zi and smiled faintly, "Yes, I have been bullied by my stepmother since I was a child. How can I learn calligraphy?"
Everyone's surprise turned into sympathy when they heard the words. Some of them also had stepmothers, who could deeply feel the pity of Mu Xiren. What's more, there were those women who were bullied by their mothers as common daughters. They also looked at Mu Xiren. In their hearts, they instantly thought that if Mu Xiren was illiterate, she became her stepmother's fault, and It's not the reason why Mu Xi is stupid and can't learn.
Su and Zi did not expect that Mu Xiyan would not hide it. Instead, she generously admitted that she was illiterate and quickly got everyone's sympathy. She became more and more dissatisfied with Mu Xiyan. However, she is not a fool. At this time, she will embarrass herself if she goes to satirize Mu Xian.
And Yi Han just flashed his eyes and whispered with Su and Zi.
"Miss Mu's cheerfulness is really admirable." Shi Daiyao Yingying walked over and took Mu Xi'an's hand. "My sister's boudoir is Xi Ran. It's really nice. It's not as tacky as ours."
In his previous life, Mu Xiyan had little contact with Shi Daiyao and did not understand Shi Daiyao's nature, but Shi Daiyao was also the daughter of the son of the Shi family. Any concubine should have experienced bullying, so Shi Daiyao would not mock Mu Xiyan like Su and Zi, but would feel sorry for each other.
"Sister said so, I dare not go home today for fear of being swallowed by any sister on the way." Mu Xi's bright eyes smiled like a crescent, pretending to shrink her shoulders in fear, but her tone was definitely a joke.
Mu Xiyan's joke immediately made everyone lively again. Several ladies who had the same experience as Mu Xiyan also came over one after another. Shi Daiyao was busy greeting everyone, so she simply said a few words to Mu Xiyan and walked away.
"Xilan, my name is Chu Yinruo. I just saw you come in and felt that you were different from those pretentious women." The woman walking towards her has a beautiful facial features, her eyes are crystal clear, and the woman's voice is also extremely beautiful.
Chu Yinruo, the second lady of the Chu family, Mu Xiran naturally knew her and nodded slightly, "Xian has no one to discipline her since she was a child, so that's why she has such a nature. It's so beautiful to smile vaguely."
When Chu faintly smiles, deep dimples will appear on both sides of his cheeks.
Chu Yinuo was praised, and his cheeks flew on the red glow. "Xilan doesn't need to be polite to me." Then he bit his lips and blinked his eyes mischievously and hesitated to ask, "Is Xian really illiterate, but I saw that you were very serious when you saw the landscape painting just now."
"I just think that painting is very good, but it is really illiterate." Mu Xian pulled the corners of his mouth carelessly.
Instead, Chu Yinruo felt that he had asked about other people's pain and blamed himself, so he comforted him, "My daughter's literacy is not very useful. Anyway, she doesn't need to be an official. On the contrary, literacy is show off. With that, he looked at Shi Daixiao and turned his head, "I'm afraid you just came here. I'll take you around."
And when Mu Xilan raised his feet and glanced around to find Su Hewei, the elegant figure was gone.
"Miss Su has always disliked lively places. I guess she went out. Maybe we can see her when we go out."
Mu Xilan felt that Chu Yin was right, so he agreed, and the two went out together.
Crossing the garden again, Mu Xi'an's eyes couldn't help looking around and continued to walk without Su Hewei.
"Xilan, it's cool there. Let's sit there and have a rest." Chu Yinuo pointed to a pavilion in the garden.
The two approached the pavilion and saw three men walking in. Chu Yinruo looked at him and stamped his feet, "Chu Chen, come out. That's what I just saw. Don't compete with us."
The three men who were laughing turned around when they heard the words, and one of them came over with a handsome man with five facial features. "But you don't walk as fast as me. Whoever goes in first can be counted as who it is. What's the use of you just seeing."
"No, I'm your sister. You should listen to me." Chu Yinruo bulged his cheeks and had no choice but to look up at the younger brother who was a quarter of an hour younger than him, but half a head taller than himself. "This is what Xilan and I saw."
At this time, Chu Chen looked at Mu Xilan, "Oh! Aren't you the drunk girl that night?"
Drunk? The only drunk who came to the capital was the night in Sufu. Mu Xian looked at him confusedly, "What's wrong?"
"Your maid is so unruly. Obviously, you fell into my arms. The maid insisted that I despised you and almost was scolded by Prince Jing'an. Thinking that the maid is so unruly, I'm afraid the master is not much better. Chu Chen slanted his eyes.
Chu Chen's words shocked Mu Xilan. He was just drunk. Why did he fall into someone else's arms?
Chu Yinruo didn't believe it very much. He reached out and hit Chu Chen, "Just talk nonsense and turn right and wrong upside down. It's okay for you to lie to me, and now you still want to ruin Xi's reputation. I went back today to tell my father to punish you severely. Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense in the future.
Even if Chu Chen, who was beaten by Chu Yin, dared not speak at this time.
"Cunzi, to be honest, what happened that night, otherwise how can I meet people in the future?" Mu Xiran really couldn't remember what happened that day, and later when he woke up, no one said anything, so naturally he didn't pay attention to it.
Chu Chen didn't dare to talk nonsense and said to Chu Yin, "Sister, don't hit me, okay? Can't I tell the truth?"
"Quickly! If you dare to lie again, see how I can sue you in front of your father.
"That night, I just sat in the pavilion. I didn't expect to see Miss Xiran, and then... Then I sat next to it. I didn't want Miss Xiran to fall on my shoulder. I didn't dare to move casually. I just reached out and wanted to hug Miss Xiran. I didn't want your maid to come over... I was just afraid that you would fall down. Absolutely not light. Thin meaning." He grinned and showed his teeth.
"Your maidservant is really powerful. I immediately let you go, and then you are unstable and will fall into the lake. Fortunately, you were rescued by the King of Jing'an, so it's okay. Then, I hurried away."
Chu Yinruo patted him on the back again, "That's all for this matter. Don't tell anyone else. If I hear a trace of wind outside..."
"Okay, okay, I know. Don't always bully me in front of Miss Xi'an. Chu Chen's face showed impatience and resolutely interrupted his sister's nagging. "In order to make up for Miss Xilan, I will take my two brothers to find another place."
Chu Yin nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to make him move faster. Chu Yinruo turned his head and looked at Mu Xilan in a daze. He thought she was still worried about that, so he said, "Don't worry, his brother is most afraid of his father's punishment, so he will never let others know."
Mu Xilan was actually losing other things. He reluctantly smiled and sat in the pavilion with Chu Yinruo.
"XiRan, you are also fifteen this year, aren't you? Your father... No, did you say kiss?" Chu Yin asked shyly.
Mu Xian shook his head quickly, "No, there is no mention of this at home, and my aunt has never said it."
"Ah, then you must not be there yet. When is your birthday?" Chu Yinruo asked again.
Mu Xi was stunned. She only heard that she hadn't reached her birthday yet, but as for the date of the month, she really didn't know.
After thinking for a while, Mu Xilang felt that it was better to tell the truth, "I haven't had a birthday since I remembered... so I don't know."
"Xi'an, I just heard that the direct daughter of the Mu family was not favored before, but I didn't expect it to be true. Xian, if you are bullied in the capital in the future, you can come to me, and I will definitely vent my anger for you. Chu Yin patted his chest boldly, looking chivalrous and righteous.
Chu Yinruo's movements couldn't help laughing, and she understood that Chu Yinruo really had a relationship with her, and the gloomy mood just now also dissipated. "You probably learned this from Mr. Chu."
"Yes, I liked to follow his buttocks and be bullied by him when I was a child. Now that I have grown up, I bully him all day long. But we have the best relationship." The dimples on Chu Yin's cheeks are deeper.
The two talked again and saw the maid next to Mrs. Chu's side, "Second Miss, where is your wife calling you?"
"Yes, I guess the elder sister and brother-in-law came here. Then I'll go and have a look." Chu Yin smiled apologetically, "Xiran, my mother called me. Don't run around alone. I think Miss Su's fifth should be in the garden."
