Chapter 160 Ji Qi Really Came to Pick Her Up
The round moon shines over the nine provinces, how many young men are sad, how many hearts are broken.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for some people.
Upstairs in Piaoxiang Tower, Wang Yanzhi, dressed in a bright red robe, sat by the window with a wine pot in his hand, gazing at the Helian Mansion in the distance, drinking to drown his sorrows. Unfortunately, his attempt to drown his sorrows only made him more sorrowful, and his mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, but he still could not dispel his sorrows.
"But once we met, we knew we were not destined to be together. Knowing each other, why not meet? That way, we won't miss each other."
Wang Yanzhi swayed his body, raised the wine pot, and expressed his true feelings to the bright moon.
The drunkenness was so strong that the handsome face was flushed. With misty eyes, he tried his best to find the figure of his beloved in the night.
For many days and nights, he hoped that Chanjuan would come to see him, but all he got was endless disappointment.
Her heart is so cruel!
As I stroked the agate bracelet my mother gave me, the bitterness in my heart was like the mellow wine in a pot, hot and spicy, lingering for a long time.
The night was long and Wang Yanzhi got drunk again and again until he was completely heartbroken and fell into a dream.
The next day, gold flakes once again covered the ground, and the sound of birdsong ushered in a new day.
Helian Yun took Mu Yao to offer tea to the elders one by one in the order of seniority in the morning. After each visit, Mu Yao would receive a heavy "meeting money", and after a round, there were as many as thirty big red envelopes.
Helian Fu told Mu Yao that the elders present were only representatives of a part of the clan, which once again made Mu Yao marvel at the large population of the Helian family.
Helian Juzheng and Shen Zhixue unexpectedly gave the couple auspicious words to help them have a baby, which made Mu Yao blush immediately and she dared not look up.
Helian Yun's eyes were burning, and he was looking forward to something that he had never dared to hope for before. He pulled Mu Yao and promised solemnly in front of the elders, looking forward to a bright future in his mind.
Xu Qingcheng, Shen Chutang, Wei Wushang and Xiao Douxue consciously hid their figures for a period of time. They silently concluded an invisible agreement to maintain a certain balance.
Time seems to have slowed down, everything is peaceful, calm and relaxing.
For several days in a row, Helian Yun took Mu Yao out to sea to enjoy the scenery.
Sailing on the boundless ocean, the salty taste of the sea water hits the soul directly. The waves in the distance surge and pile up, rushing towards the ship, hitting the hull and stirring up rolling waves.
The power of the sea is magnificent. Facing the magnificence of nature, everything seems so small.
Helian Yun ordered his men to speed up the voyage, ride the wind and waves, and gallop across the sea.
After returning, Mu Yao still felt unsatisfied, so Helian Yun took her to the beach to catch several baskets of seafood.
Mu Yao enthusiastically cooked a large table of delicious food to share with her family. Except for Helian Yun, everyone else tasted Mu Yao's cooking for the first time and exclaimed that it was incredibly delicious.
Helian Qing's favorite dish was the steamed scallops with garlic sauce. It was salty and fragrant, with a hint of spiciness, challenging her taste buds layer by layer, and she couldn't stop eating it.
Helian Fu saw the "small mountain" of food in front of her and laughed, and reminded her: "Oh, don't overeat."
"Grandpa, it's okay. You eat yours and don't worry about me." After saying that, Helian Qing picked up another one.
Mu Yao counted the number of shells on the table, there were nearly fifteen, her eyelids jumped, and she reached out to the scallops in her hand and quickly advised: "Hey, eating too many scallops will cause indigestion and may also cause allergic reactions. Come, have some clam stew." As she said that, she scooped a large spoonful of stewed eggs and put it in Helian Qing's bowl.
"What is an allergic reaction?" Helian Qing held the scallop tightly in her hand, firmly resisting the force coming from her hand.
"It's just a rash on the face, which is very itchy and can even cause shock. The yellow croaker tastes good." Mu Yao picked up another piece of yellow croaker and put it on Helian Qing's porcelain plate.
When Helian Qing heard that a rash would appear on her face, she was so scared that she quickly let go of her hand and obediently started to eat the stewed eggs and yellow croaker.
Helian Fu nodded with satisfaction. Yaoyao and Ayun both had ways to control Yoyo.
He has eight daughters-in-law and twelve granddaughters-in-law, and Mu Yao is the only one who personally cooks for him and prepares delicious meals for him, which makes him feel very happy.
After the meal, Helian Fu called Mu Yao into Qingfeng Garden alone and gave her a double-sided fan embroidered with butterflies.
The fan is thin, delicately embroidered, and colorful. The butterfly's eyes and pistils are embroidered with several rare colored gems, making it a rare treasure fan.
Mu Yao happily accepted the gift and played with the fan on the way back to Xiushui Garden. It was a hot summer day, and Grandpa's kindness came at the right time.
Turning the corner of the corridor, he suddenly saw a servant coming hurriedly to report that two noble ladies came to ask for an audience, and they had no intention of entering the mansion, so they stayed outside the door waiting.
ask to see?
Mu Yao immediately knew the identity of the visitor and hurried back with the servants.
"Handan, Furong, why are you here?" Mu Yao looked at them in surprise. Their pretty faces were slightly flushed, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from their flawless white heads.
"Come in and use some Leng Yuanzi?" Mu Yao looked at the two of them and said with concern.
Handan glanced behind her and saw that no one was around. She respectfully handed over the letter and said, "Empress, this is the letter that the Emperor asked me to give you."
Mu Yao paused, then took the letter and started reading.
Ji Qi is here?
Mu Yao looked towards Handan and Furong and asked suspiciously, "Is he in Lanling County?"
Furong answered first this time: "Empress, the Emperor has come here specially to take you back to Southern Xinjiang."
what?
Mu Yao's face was full of surprise. This man really came to pick her up in person.
But... she doesn't want to go to Southern Xinjiang!
"Empress, the Emperor ordered us to take you to Mu Garden."
Helian Yun went to the dock. Mu Yao left a message and hurriedly left the Helian Mansion with Handan and Furong.
