Chapter 330 Sword Dance

The first person to come in was a woman, wearing a chest-length skirt that was a combination of dark red and ink-black, which made her skin, which was whiter than snow, and her plump figure even more prominent.

When she raised her head, she revealed a perfectly proportioned oval face. Although her facial features were gorgeous, her expression was cold from the inside out.

"My slave Meiying."

The girl bowed slightly, her expression still indifferent.

Gu Xixi thought to herself, the name really suits her, she is indeed a red plum blossom blooming in the cold and dark shadows.

Gorgeous but not coquettish or delicate.

Everyone loves beauty, and An Qinghe couldn't help but take a few more glances.

He came back to his senses from his initial amazement and glanced to the side guiltily. He couldn't let Xixi think that he was a fickle person!

However, Gu Xixi didn't pay attention to An Qinghe.

She was also looking at the beauty intently, her eyes full of admiring smiles.

He Jinglan said, "This Jade Dew fragrance is too sweet, I don't like it. Miss Meiying is good at this, please help us mix another batch first, it should be more refreshing and light."

Mei Ying nodded, turned around and knelt down beside the tea table.

A little maid took out the original incense burner and replaced it.

Gu Xixi looked towards the door in confusion. Why hadn't the man named Jianlan come in yet?

He Jinglan leaned closer and said, "Jianglan's talent still needs some preparation, so wait a little longer."

"Let's eat first."

An Qinghe was already hungry, so he ate without any hesitation.

"This steamed lamb with milk is fragrant and tender, not smelly at all, delicious!"

"This crabapple-shaped yam paste is sweet. Xixi should like it."

“The honey-flavored fire square is just as authentic as the one I had when I went south!”

…

The maids filled the table with wine.

The wine is golden like amber, clear and bright.

Gu Xixi couldn't help but pick it up and smell it. It had a rich, sweet aroma of green plums.

He Jinglan smiled quietly and said, "Ice plum wine is not very strong. You won't get drunk if you drink two small glasses."

Gu Xixi stared at the wine in the glass with a struggling expression, her inner greed fighting against her principles.

How could He Jinglan not know what she was thinking? She said, "I'm here to protect you, what are you afraid of?"

She said in a seductive tone, "The plum wine at Shihua House is unique. You will regret it if you don't try it."

Gu Xixi's expression relaxed and she let go of her heavy principles.

"Then... drink a little, just two small cups."

She thought to herself that it was such a small wine cup and she would only drink less than half of it, so there would be no problem.

Just like that, he brought the wine glass to his lips.

As the ice plum wine took a sip, Gu Xixi couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart, "It tastes good!"

The mouth is full of plum fragrance, sour and sweet. Apart from a slight aroma of wine, there is no taste of alcohol at all!

He Jinglan took the wine pot herself and asked, "Another glass?"

Gu Xixi nodded happily, and then nodded again, “Yeah, yeah, fill it up!”

At this time, only a faint sound of flute was heard coming in through the window.

A man in a frost-colored robe walked slowly in to the rhythm of the flute.

Gu Xixi knew that this was the gladiolus.

She held the wine glass and looked closely, she saw the man's sleeves slide down, a long sword flew out of the air, the sword light was dazzling, and at the same time his stunning face was revealed.

Gu Xixi couldn't help but think of the time when she first met Mu Nanzhao at the entrance of the village.

So handsome that it takes your breath away.

Yes, any ordinary person would inevitably have this feeling when seeing it for the first time.

However, the Jianlan in front of him had a softer appearance than Mu Nanzhao, which made the viewers feel less oppressed.

Regent's Palace.

When He Jinghui entered the study, Mu Nanzhao was still dealing with official documents.

He Jinghui found a chair and sat down. "The two girls took An Qinghe out to play for the whole day."

"Before I came here, I heard from the maid at Yuzhu Courtyard that Jinglan had sent a message saying that she would not be coming back to stay tonight."

Mu Nanzhao didn't even raise his head. He uttered "Oh" and said, "She has been in Beijing for so long. It's time for her to go out and have some fun."

"If you feel bad about the money, you can go to my account office to withdraw it at any time."

He Jinghui rolled his eyes and said, "I know that your family is rich and you are not short of money."

"But my sister finally invited her friends to go out and play, and our He family can afford this expense."

Mu Nanzhao didn't say anything else and picked up the pen to write.

He Jinghui glanced over there and gave a sly smirk.

Then he stopped laughing and said seriously, "Jinglan didn't come home that night, I was just a little curious, so I asked a few more questions."

"I heard that she seems to be planning to take Boss Gu to the flower shop."

Mu Nanzhao paused while writing.

He Jinghui didn't even look at him, as if he was talking to himself, "Although Shihua Pavilion is an elegant place, the beauties there are not only women, but also men."

"Among them, there is a girl named Jianlan, whose sword dance is truly a unique skill. It is gentle and then strong, first exciting and murderous, making people feel as if they are on the battlefield. Then it becomes sad and dreamlike, breaking people's hearts."

"Just based on this dance, I don't know how many noble ladies in the capital were so distressed that they wanted to hold him in their hands."

"But he is well-read, elegant, and well-spoken."

Mu Nanzhao continued to write about himself, "He's just an actor."

He Jinghui said, "What's wrong with actors? They perform in the Shihua Pavilion but don't sell their bodies. They only sign a fixed-term contract, just like the palace maids in the imperial city. Once they reach a certain age, they will be released and regain their freedom."

"I remember that Jianlan only had less than two years left. He had accumulated a lot of wealth in the Flower Garden. After he leaves the Flower Garden, he can still do some business. He is truly a rich and idle person. What's wrong with that?"

Mu Nanzhao said indifferently, "You know him very well."

"It seems that I haven't given you enough work recently."

He Jinghui's face tightened, he gritted his teeth, and increased his firepower, "When you were in the northwest, some damn lunatics in Beijing said that Jianlan's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to yours."

Mu Nanzhao said calmly, "Are they all dead now?"

He Jinghui choked, is this the key point? !

But he still answered, "More or less. Even those who survived were exiled with their families."

Mu Nanzhao remained silent again.

He Jinghui waited for a while, then could only look at his expression and said, "The girls in Yuzhu Courtyard were blushing and giggling when they were discussing. I heard them mention Jianlan and they said it was a pity that the master didn't bring anyone with him today."

"Don't you think my sister is going a little too far? She took Boss Gu to the flower shop, but she insisted on ordering that top male vixen, Jianlan."

"It's fine if you ordered a vixen, but you actually want to stay overnight?"

There was a crisp sound of "click", which made me feel sad for the Xiangfei bamboo pen.

Mu Nanzhao said coldly, "Nonsense!"

He suddenly stood up and walked out from behind the desk.

There was a good show to watch, and He Jinghui was ecstatic. He tried his best to add fuel to the fire while holding back his laughter.

"That Jianlan is almost thirty years old and still looks pretty. If he really looks like you, and Boss Gu doesn't want you, will she take the opportunity to find a replacement?"

As he was speaking, the study door opened and a gust of wind blew up He Jinghui's hair.

Looking outside the door again, there is no one there.

He Jinghui couldn't hold back his smile anymore, and chased after him with a smile, "Hey! Wait for me, I know Pingkangfang better than you do, let's go together!!"
