AWB Chapter 69
Chapter 69
Ming Yan had just sent off the benefactor, and went back upstairs with her slender waist twisted, and saw Liu Xu standing in the corridor with a flushed face, as if she had experienced something unspeakable, and joked, "Why, do you feel spring in the morning?"
When Liu Xu turned around and saw that it was her, she blushed even more, and hurriedly defended, "Sister, don't talk nonsense."
Mingyan leaned slightly against the gauntlet in the corridor, leaning her body slightly, stroking her hair with her orchid fingers, her loose sleeves fell to her arms, revealing her slender white wrists, gracefully brushing her long hair behind her shoulders. There are many styles.
"Others don't know, but I know you. The nobleman of the Yi Palace never forgets you, so you don't have a heartbeat?"
Hearing this, Liu Xu became anxious for a moment, turned her head and almost covered her mouth, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Okay, okay." Seeing her flustered look, Mingyan stopped teasing her, looked into the corner, and smiled captivatingly, "I've never seen the young man who was with the lord, is he also from Qishan?" ?”
Liu Xu: "No, he is an old friend."
Mingyan wanted to ask something else, Liu Xu pushed her into the room, "Oh, don't worry about it, go back and rest."
"Hey, why is the little girl impatient?"
After adjusting her mood, Liu Xu went to decoct the medicine, and politely knocked on the door first with the hot medicine in her hand. She pushed the door open after a word of "Enter" came from inside.
The two sat by the window, ignoring each other, the sun reflected on their faces, making the already thin outline of the Lord more obvious, while Mu Xuan looked more gentle, the two were out of tune and surprisingly harmonious.
Liu Xu put the medicine bowl on the table, sat next to Mu Xuan, propped her head to look at the two of them, with a smile that couldn't be hidden between her brows, and suddenly sighed, "That's great."
Mu Xuan: "What's the matter?"
Liu Xu replied with a smile, "You are all here."
Hearing this, Ren Ke lowered his eyes and smiled, raised his hand to move the medicine bowl, and stirred the spoon to let the medicine cool down.
Downstairs gradually became noisy, Mu Xuan yawned, looked at the endless stream of pedestrians, looked back at Liu Xu who had grown into a big girl, raised her hand and patted her on the head, "Does Xiao Xu have a sweetheart?"
"Brother, what nonsense!" The little girl suddenly became excited, her cheeks flushed, and she was a little at a loss.
Both of them were taken aback by her sudden excitement, and looked up at her in a daze.Mu Xuan tugged at her ear helplessly, and taught: "If you don't have it, you don't have it, you scared me."
The little girl also seemed to realize that she was too excited, stood up and looked at them, and said hurriedly, "I'm going to settle the score."
After finishing speaking, she left in a hurry. Seeing her flustered figure, the two looked at each other in unison, and both understood what the other meant.
Ren Ke: "Leng Yue will arrive in two days."
Only the girl knows what the girl is thinking. Although they are brothers, there are some things that are not easy to ask.
After Mu Xuan and Liu Xu finished talking, their faces were full of sadness, and they drew a few circles on the table with their fingers. They felt that it was not very enjoyable, so they took Ren Ke's medicine bowl, held the spoon and twirled it in the bowl, hesitating to speak.
"What's wrong?" Ren Ke noticed something was wrong with him and stared at him.
"Are there any distinguished guests in Liuyue Tower? For example, princes and nobles?"
Although Ren Ke lived in Liuyuelou when he came to the capital, he bought this building as a gift for catkins at the time, and the little girl took care of it by herself. He never asked, and the visitors never knew about it, but Liu Xin is here, presumably there are also princes and nobles.
Seeing him nodding, Mu Xuan's heart sank, he stopped his stirring hands, pushed the medicine bowl over, and said very seriously, "Look at Xiaoxu recently, don't let her get close to those princes and nobles."
Ren Ke frowned slightly and told him, "Xiao Xu is not the girl in it."
He thought Liuyuelou was just a dance hall when he bought it, and Liu Xu studied in it for half a year, because the owner of the dance hall was not well managed and closed down, he didn't want the little girl to run around with him anymore, there should be a stable place, so he bought it with money. I gave it to her here.
I don’t know how it became a brothel later, and he was angry about it, but Liu Xu explained to him that after the boss left, many customers were cut off, and she took in some homeless girls. I can afford it, and then I can't open the pot.
Some of them were originally girls from the dance hall, and they all had some skills. After summing up, the dance hall was directly converted into a brothel operation, and then more homeless girls were taken in. The Liuyue Tower unexpectedly grew stronger stand up.
Ruofei Xiaoxu cried and begged him to promise that he would not learn bad things, and Ren Ke would never allow him to stay in such a place with a little girl.
Before, he wanted to explain to Qijiu, but he didn't ask, he thought he knew, but now that Qijiu said that, it seems that he misunderstood.
Mu Xuan saw that he was frowning tightly, with a serious expression on his face, wishing to engrave the word "angry" on his face, Mu Xuan explained to him kindly, "I know, what I mean is, when a girl grows up, she will leave her behind." I can't help it, but the little girl is unavoidably weak-hearted and was deceived by others."
"Well, I asked Ah Yan to watch."
Ren Ke's expression softened, his eyes became gentler, he drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, and frowned bitterly.
"You're afraid of suffering when you're old." Mu Xuan reluctantly took out a candy from his sleeve, peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth, and looked at him with a little disgust, "What are you going to do next?"
The sweetness in his mouth melted the bitterness. He looked at the dead moth beside the candlestick, "I heard that the An family gave the emperor a concubine. Do you think it is beautiful?"
After Mu Xuan withdrew his hand, stretched his waist, stood up and continued to stride, looked back at the person who was looking at him by the window, with thick eyebrows and eyes like peach blossoms, the eyes were soft at the moment, and the affection in them was long, he suspected that he had planted him In his hands, there is a high probability that this grandson took advantage of his face.
She smiled and asked him back, "Does it look good with you?"
Hearing this, Ren Ke was slightly taken aback, then sat up straight, looked at him very seriously, and joked seriously: "How can this be compared, who can have my face."
Since he was a child, he was praised for his good birth, and he used to be proud of his good looks, but later because of so many nasty things happened to this face, he began to hate his own face.
It was Qijiu who reminded him that there was more than hatred in his memory.
His mother once told him that he had to protect his face and not get hurt. He didn't know it at first, but later he thought it was because of his damaged appearance, which made it harder for him to find relatives. Now he thinks that this face has other functions.
The wind blew the curtains in the house, Mu Xuan stared at him and saw the wind stopped, and after confirming that he heard correctly, he couldn't help laughing.
"You are so shameless!"
To actually praise himself without blushing and heartbeat like this is simply a big shame.
Ren Ke was not annoyed, he looked at him quietly and smiled, poured a cup of tea and moved it to his side, not forgetting to straighten his sleeves.
Mu Xuan laughed for a while, feeling that the horse gait could no longer be tied, so he sat back down again, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and his eyes did not look at his face, but fell on his well-articulated hands, which were so painful because of holding the sword. The cocoon was ground out, and there were wounds of different depths on it.
When he was in the ghost forest, he thought about what he would use his hands for if he didn't hold a sword, whether it was to feel someone's pulse or make a plan, maybe it wouldn't be covered with wounds and blood.
He laughed and then lost his voice, and the room was suddenly silent.
Ren Ke looked into Mu Xuan's eyes, smiled slightly, and said softly, "I suddenly thought of an interesting way to play."
Ren Ke was curious: "What?"
He smiled deeply and said in a youthful tone, "I won't tell you."
"Cut!" Mu Xuan is not as easy to bully as Liu Xu, who is not subject to the unfathomable set, propping his head to play with the teacup, with an expression that he likes to talk or not, I don't want to know.
I thought sullenly in my heart, what did you say to me, it made me curious for no reason.
At night, Mu Xuan fell asleep and was hugged again, pushed tighter and tighter, opened his eyes and looked at people speechlessly, but his eyes were closed tightly, pretending to be asleep.
"hot."
Still not letting go, Mu Xuan continued to struggle, "Let go."
"Mother." The boss suddenly whispered, resting his head on his shoulder, his voice was very pitiful.
"..."
Mu Xuan's heart softened immediately, the boss's hair was spread on his shoulders, and his neck was itchy, remembering that he had called "mother" a few times before, and thinking that he was young and pitiful, he reluctantly became a boy. Mother.
Now think about it, whose doll hugs Nianglou's shoulders and puts her head on her shoulders.
This clearly shows that he is more like a baby, Mu Xuan sensed something was wrong, this grandson wouldn't start thinking about it then!He also deliberately acted to gain sympathy.
"Ren Ke?"
There is no response at all, it seems that they want to play the trick to the end.
"Go to sleep." Mu Xuan patted him on the back. After feeling that the boss had let go of his vigilance, he pushed him away vigorously, and met his clear eyes with a look of surprise.
Smiling, she raised her hand to brush his hair, and said in a soft voice, "You hugged the wrong person, dear, I'm not your mother."
After speaking, he changed his face, turned around and leaned in, wishing to stick himself against the wall.
Ren Ke was stunned for a moment, and there was a large space between the two of them. Looking at Qi Jiu's back, he felt a little annoyed that he was impulsive.
Before going to bed, Qijiu explained that he was not allowed to cross the line, and he did not obey.
"I'm sorry Qijiu."
ignored him.
Ren Ke racked his brains for a while, then moved over tentatively, put his hand on his shoulder lightly, and was pushed away impatiently.
"Ah Xuan, I was wrong."
He apologized in a low voice, Mu Xuan felt itchy when he heard his ingenious address, and still ignored him.
"Xiaoxuan, I was wrong! I'm sorry." Ren Ke apologized softly, then moved over and put his arms around him, "Xuanxuan."
"It's so disgusting!" Mu Xuan was disgusted, and turned to look at him, "Speak well!"
Ren Ke took the opportunity to approach him, put his arms around his waist, and asked softly, "Ah Xuan, can I call you Ah Xuan from now on?"
There was a faint smell of medicine on his body, which was not unpleasant, but intoxicating. Mu Xuan shook awkwardly, "Not good!"
Ren Ke only thought that he was about to refuse and welcome, and hugged him even tighter, leaning into his ear and calling him softly, "Ah Xuan."
Mu Xuan's whole body was numb, and he didn't dare to move, for fear that he would lose his temper again.
Qijiu was just the rank number Ren Ke saw when he stole his waist card in Qishan, and he always used it to match him. Later, he asked his name, because Qijiu said that he would wait until he had rectified, and he didn't ask. When they met, they knew his name by accident.
But without calling once, they missed again.
"Ah Xuan." He called out to him one after another at this moment, wishing to make up for the previous one at a time.
His voice was already low, and it was late at night, and he called out tenderly, which was really uncomfortable. Mu Xuan's ears turned red, "I never noticed you were so coquettish before!"
I always thought he was a boring gourd, but I didn't expect that he would tease people one after another.
Hearing this, Ren Ke covered his head and smiled, and said softly, "Only for you."
Mu Xuan buried his head on his chest at some point, heard him chuckle, looked up at him, the scar on his chin could not be seen clearly unless he looked carefully, he opened his mouth and bit it lightly.
Ren Ke was startled, shrank back slightly, looked down at him, saw that his eyes were full of innocence, with a smile on his face, he bent slightly, and bit his lip.
The cool wind outside the house unscrupulously blows the lanterns at the door of Wan's house, the enthusiasm outside the house continues, and the candles do not go out.
In the early morning of the second day, before Liuyue Building was officially opened, someone broke in. Ren Ke was very light sleeper. After hearing someone knock on the door, he glanced at the sleeping person, and got out of bed lightly.
Ming Yan looked sleepy, bent over to salute, and then motioned him to look downstairs.
Ren Ke nodded, waved her back and looked down.
The visitor was an acquaintance. Ren Ke turned over and jumped directly from the second floor, sneering, "Will you decent disciples also come to this romantic place?"
Mo Wen didn't say a word, but looked at him with cold eyes.
Ren Ke raised his finger and pointed around, with a mocking look on his face, "Does Mr. Mo have a girl he likes?"
Suddenly, Mo Wen took his hand and called him in a low voice: "Ren Ke!"
Ren Ke's expression changed suddenly, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held his wrist tightly, as if he wanted to squeeze his meridian with such strength, he suddenly let go of his hand, and sighed, "You must stop. "
With disgust on his face, Ren Ke rubbed his sore wrist, and asked coldly, "Why do you criticize me?"
Mo Wen, who has always been calm, now had anger in his eyes, and his voice was a little louder than usual, "Do you know what you are doing!"
Ren Ke replied not to be outdone, "Do you know who you are talking to!" After that, he grabbed Mo Wen's collar and said in a gloomy tone: "Mr. Mo, you are not me, you are not me!" I don't understand why I would do this."
Mo Wen yelled angrily in a low voice, and put his hands on his shoulders, "No matter why, you shouldn't go this way, just turn around, and I will help you."
Ren Ke opened his hand, took half a step back, raised his head and sneered, "You are too self-righteous, I said that I can't, won't, and never look back!"
Three "no"s are heavy and firm.From the first time he killed with a sword, it was impossible for him to turn back.
Mo Wen saw that he was crazy, and his tone became weaker, "What do you want to do."
"People prevent me from killing, but Buddha prevents me from becoming a demon!"
Ren Ke's eyes were piercing, as if he could pierce people, and his tone was even more piercing, making people shudder.
"Everyone in the world wants to kill you, so what do you do!"
"Then me! Kill all the people in the world. Including you."
His eyes were full of killing intent, with a crazy smile, Mo Wen's eyes were red, and the suppressed emotion suddenly burst out, "Are you crazy?"
Ren Ke fell back, sat on the chair and looked at him coldly, emphasizing every word, "I've gone crazy long ago."
He was insane as early as when he had nowhere to call for help and was forced to kill.
Mo Wen: "Chengye!"
Ren Ke raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes became calm and calm, as if he was looking at an important stranger.
Mo Wen, who was half a step ahead, was stunned by his eyes, and took his feet back.
"My name is Ren Ke."
After he finished speaking lightly, he turned his head and saw Mu Xuan standing on the second floor. He was only wearing unlined clothing, his body was thin, his eyes were reddish, the wind outside the gate kept blowing in, and his hair was all messed up.
He hurriedly got up and went upstairs, took off his clothes and put them on for him, slightly annoyed, "Don't you know how to wear more?" Although the tone was angry, but the voice was soft, which was very different from the words downstairs just now, as if the two Personal average.
Mu Xuan lowered his eyes and looked down. Mo Wen was dressed in white with a long sword slung across his waist. He looked up at himself with cold eyes and hostility.
It was this hostility that made him even angrier. He raised his hand to hold Ren Ke's hand holding his clothes together, looked back at Ren Ke with distressed eyes, and pulled him back to the room.
Mo Wen walked out of Liuyue Tower in a daze, heartbroken, full of remorse, no one knew.
When Liu Xu entered the room, she saw Mu Xuan putting on clothes for the master. She lit the incense last night and slept too deeply.
"Xiao Xu, don't let people from Hengshan come in." Mu Xuan's voice was very soft, obviously very gentle, but his eyes were full of coldness.
Liu Xu had never seen such a brother before, she understood something, nodded heavily, then let them have a good rest and went out, closing the door behind her.
It was still early, the roosters hadn't crowed, and Mu Xuan was still sleepy, so he dragged Ren Ke back to sleep.
This time, Mu Xuan took the initiative to hug him, patted his back lightly, and coaxed him to sleep like a child.
Ren Ke smiled, and closed his eyes unknowingly, there was no blood in the dream, it was when he and Qijiu were in the small courtyard, relaxed and comfortable.
When he woke up again, there was nothing beside him, and he turned over immediately.
Mu Xuan didn't know where he was going, he looked towards the door, and happened to see Liu Xu standing at the door, holding a steaming bowl in his hand.
Liu Xu closed the door with a crutch, put the hot porridge on the table, looked at the person who was already awake, and told him, "Brother Qijiu said he was going to buy something, let me give you the medicinal porridge first."
Ren Ke got up and sat down after washing. Liu Xu just blew the cold porridge, pushed it to him, and waited for him to eat with his head propped up.
Ren Ke smiled, medicinal porridge was rarely sweet, but he felt sweet in his heart when he ate it. The mist blurred his vision, and he suddenly remembered the past.
"Liu Xu, why did you say you changed by yourself?"
Liu Xu propped her head to look at him, and replied without thinking, "I must have been cornered."
Her answer reminded Ren Ke of something, and he raised his eyes and asked, "Then why did you give up your original belief?"
This question made Liu Xu slightly startled, the past flashed through her mind suddenly, she looked at the mist and smiled, "Maybe she's heartbroken."
"Ah."
Only when the original path can no longer be followed, will people choose another path. This is how people change. The farther and farther they go on this path, the farther and farther they are from their beliefs and original intentions, and the heart will slowly die. .
Just after eating, Liu Xu was putting away the bowl, and Mu Xuan came back with his hands full, and seeing Liu Xu there, he smiled and said, "Exactly, this is yours."
He gave her all the things in one hand, threw the other hand on the ground, and coughed dryly.
Liu Xu was stuffed with things, including clothes and jewelry, she was surprised, "Why did my brother buy so many things?"
Mu Xuan was about to drink water, so she answered her question, "I was bored, so I went shopping."
Ren Ke saw that he hadn't filled the water for a long time, so he handed his own to his mouth, and Mu Xuan didn't see him, he opened his mouth and drank it, and his throat felt much more comfortable in an instant.
Liu Xu was not surprised by their natural closeness, and put everything on the ground, "But where did my brother get the money from?"
Ren Ke raised his hand and touched his waist, then saw Mu Xuan looking at him with a smile on his face, and shook his head helplessly, "I can be with you."
Autumn is strong, catkin dresses have been changed from gauze to silk, Ren Ke is still wearing thin, black clothes with narrow sleeves that have not changed for thousands of years, if Mu Xuan didn't watch him change clothes every day, he would have no idea that he is actually There are many pieces of similar clothes.
So I went to buy some clothes for him on a whim, and originally wanted to take him with me, but the boss couldn't act rashly during the critical period, so I said earnestly, "You should avoid going out, that old fox Su Feng might hit something idea."
Liu Xu didn't get an answer to her question, and she wasn't angry. Instead, she happily watched them talk, and took out a few bank notes from her pocket and handed them to Mu Xuan.
"It's my fault that I didn't think about it for a while. I realized last night that my brother has no money." The little girl apologized and spoke softly.
Mu Xuan looked at several big bank notes, the amount on them was "[-] taels". Looking at his sister's big watery eyes, he felt a little embarrassed. He was an older brother, but he still had to use his sister's money.
He pushed back all the bank notes, patted her on the head with a smile and said, "How can my brother ask for my sister's money?"
Liu Xu: "What's the matter, brother Ren originally bought this building for me."
Mu Xuan still persisted, pushing the bank notes, "This is different."
"Brother!" Liu Xu was in a hurry, stomping her feet to call him, and turned to look at the bystanders.
Ren Ke, a bystander, watched them push back for a while, and Mu Xuan glanced over, and the meaning of "you must help me" was obvious.
He couldn't help but frowned, pulled out the bank note, folded it casually a few times and put it in his arms, his movements were smooth and his expression was calm.
Mu Xuan: "..." In terms of thick skin, the boss must be the best.
Ren Ke: "Just let me go."
Hearing this, Liu Xu proudly raised her head towards Mu Xuan, hugged all the things on the ground, bowed to him solemnly, "Thank you, brother", and left with a smile.
Mu Xuan, who hadn't accepted the fact that the boss betrayed him for a while, sat back in a daze, took the nearest cup and drank slowly, and was about to teach the boss a righteous lesson when he heard him say.
"The benefits of Liuyuelou are comparable to Bie Yunjian, but Xiaoxu is the boss. This little money is not considered money, and she is afraid that you will not want it if you give it too much."
Mu Xuan was slightly taken aback, Bieyunjian is the number one restaurant in the capital, and Liuyuelou is really rich, "Xiao Xu is the number one rich woman in the capital!"
Ren Ke: "No one knows."
Recently, a tofu seller came downstairs. The owner's voice was shrill and loud, and now he is out of the stall, shouting at the top of his voice.
Mu Xuan's ears were numb, he stretched out his hand to cover his left ear, propped his head by the way, and blinked at the boss, "Are you rich, Qi Shan?"
At the beginning, when he didn't know that he was Qijiu, Ren Ke thought he was plain, and there was nothing outstanding about him. Now when he looks at him, he looks good-looking no matter how he looks, sometimes even cute.
Seeing him blinking, making people invisible, Ren Ke raised his hand to brush away the broken hair covering his eyes, and said with a smile, "Ten liuyuelou, ten different clouds, is it enough?"
Mu Xuan grabbed his hand, like holding a mountain of gold and silver, his eyes were full of light, as if he wanted to eat him immediately.
"Enough!"
Like a cat that saw a fish, this money fan rubbed against his palm, Ren Ke felt itchy, rubbed his fingers against his lips, and called him softly, "Ah Xuan."
Mu Xuan got up and kissed him on the forehead and on his cheek, looked at his lips that were close at hand, and said with a smile, "Boss Ren, one kiss, 100 taels."
Ren Ke turned his head, pressed his head, and added more money, "1 taels."
Autumn is full of vibes, cool wind blows everywhere, blowing the clouds in the sky, the hawkers who sell hot food are blinded by the heat, and tighten their clothes.
And the two people upstairs were warming each other, their bodies were hot, and they didn't feel cold at all.
The boss downstairs seemed to be keeping warm by yelling and getting hot. He yelled louder and louder, "Sell tofu! Delicious tofu!"
