A few people played at the foot of the mountain for another day, and because Qing Mo's leave had expired, they could barely give up and return to Beijing.

The hustle and bustle of the capital is completely different from the tranquility of the mountains.After staying for a long time, Kong Qing didn't like the excitement anymore, so he said he wanted to leave.Qing Mo asked Kong Qing to stay for a few more days, but Kong Qing didn't promise him. He only said that sooner or later they would leave, and it was the same to leave first and then leave.

Qing Mo went to grind Chi Tong again, but Chi Tong shook his head before he spoke, expressing that he could not persuade Kong Qing, and there was no room for negotiation with him, so let him avoid opening his mouth.

Just when he was in great distress, Steward Zhang brought him the warm sun in winter.

Butler Zhang refilled his glass of water and said, "Mr. Qingmo, it will be his birthday in two days. Should we prepare for it?"

"Birthday?" Qing Mo suddenly realized: "Yes, it will be Mu Youfang's birthday in two days. How could I have forgotten it!"

Butler Zhang smiled and said, "You have a lot of things to do, so it's only natural that you didn't remember them for a while."

Qing Mo thought, it is really another village, Mu Youfang's birthday, Kong Qing will definitely stay.He said to Zhang Guanjia: "Of course we have to prepare well, we must prepare well, our own house is lively and lively."

The butler nodded: "Hey! That's good." Although Zhang Butler has not been with Mu Youfang and Qing Mo for a long time, he has been with Mu Youfang and Qing Mo for some years, and he knows their temperament and hobbies.They are different from women who are difficult to serve, so there are not many things to be careful or taboo, as long as good wine and good food are prepared.

The butler watched Qing Mo leave in a hurry with a happy face, smiled and shook his head, apparently already accustomed to it.He summoned all the servants in the mansion and told them that the son's birthday needs to be well prepared, especially on the day of the son's birthday, it is absolutely necessary not to touch the eyebrows of the master at home. of their benefits.

All the family members cheered and flattered: "How dare, how dare, we will definitely prepare well and be extremely careful." The servants in Mu's mansion all know that no matter which one's birthday it is for the two masters, as long as they are born on the same day Give them birthday wishes, and you will definitely win the lottery.So they don't do stupid things.

Except for the older housekeeper, all the servants in this mansion are middle-aged and their temperaments are very lively.Steward Zhang had to control them, so he deliberately said coldly: "You have to know how to measure, and there are two guests from Nanyuan, so you must not neglect them. Otherwise, you will have good fruit to eat."

All the servants nodded one after another, and laughed loudly, "Okay, Steward Zhang, we've remembered, so we won't waste your time. We're going to prepare for your son's birthday."

Steward Zhang had assigned tasks before, knowing that although they were young, they were taught by themselves, and there would be no major trouble, so he waved his hand and let them go.

All the family members scattered in a hurry, their faces were filled with excitement and joy.Every time the host's birthday is celebrated, they can not only have a good meal, but also get a lottery of nearly one or two taels of silver. This is their three-month wages, which is really exciting.

Qing Mo was in a hurry and told Kong Qing and Chi Tong about Mu Youfang's birthday.

Kong Qing thought about it, at least they have been together for so long, so there is no need to talk about their feelings.In the future, we will be separated from each other, and it will not be easy to be able to spend another birthday together. Now, of course, there is no reason to refuse.

Kong Qing and Chi Tong won't be leaving for the time being, Mu Youfang's birthday is coming up again, Qing Mo is busy busy.Butler Zhang was really ashamed of his busy schedule, because Qing Mo was doing a disservice.But fortunately, he was only on a whim, and after less than two hours, the initial excitement was exhausted, and then he let go of it.Drop a sentence and let them arrange it themselves.And he himself went to Nanyuan to find Kongqing and Chitong to play.

Mu Youfang asked for leave for a few days, and things piled up.He is very serious in doing things, so he is very busy these few days, and he doesn't remember that his birthday is coming soon.

On his birthday, he was delayed for a while because of something, and he left the Hanlin Academy a little later.Although the boy who drove the carriage for him was still driving the carriage very steadily, his speed was faster than usual. When he saw Mu Youfang coming out just now, his anxious little heart fell steadily. If my master continues to delay, the family member will probably get angry.

If it was normal, Mu Youfang would definitely be able to notice a thing or two, but today there are so many things going on, and something went wrong for him. At this time, he was completely immersed in his official duties, and he didn't notice anything strange at all.

The servant reminded him that he had arrived at the mansion, so he pulled out of his thoughts, got out of the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped into his mansion with a restrained expression.Walking forward, he saw that the door of the front hall was closed. When he turned his head, there were no servants around, and the surrounding was unusually quiet. Although he was a little puzzled, he didn't shout for anyone. He stepped forward and pushed it away. Lattice wooden door.

"Yeah!" The door was pushed open with a sound, and the original silence suddenly became noisy.I saw a lot of people sitting in and out of the front hall, most of these people were acquaintances he knew, and they all had bright and flamboyant smiles on their faces, shouting in unison: "Happy birthday!"

Mu Youfang froze on the spot unprepared, unable to react for a moment.

Qing Mo beamed with joy and jumped all the way, jumped in front of him, stretched out his arms to hug him, and said happy birthday.

Mu Youfang's breath was filled with the clear scent of wine from Qing Mo's body. Qing Mo let him go, and he regained his composure, only to realize that today is his birthday.

Liu Zhouyun brought Yun Xi forward, the brothers and sisters of the Lin family also moved forward together, and everyone else followed suit, congratulating Mu Youfang with joy on their faces.Seeing Qing Mo hugging Mu Youfang, Liu Zhouyun also leaned forward to hug Mu Youfang, but was stopped by Qing Mo.

Liu Zhouyun was puzzled and said, "Why?"

Qing Mo watched him open his arms to embrace Mu Youfang's unretracted arms, raised eyebrows and stared, "What are you doing?"

"Hold the birthday star, be happy!" Liu Zhouyun said naturally.He thought it was the same reason why Qing Mo hugged Mu Youfang, so it was very natural and even a little excited.

"Go, go, whoever wants to make you happy, go." Qing Mo pushed Liu Zhouyun away and said with disgust.

Mu Youfang smiled elegantly, his eyes soft and warm.Seeing that Liu Zhouyun couldn't understand that he wanted to continue arguing with Qing Mo, he put Qing Mo's arm on Qing Mo's arm, and let Qing Mo stop Liu Zhouyun's hand.He knew that to end this "battle", he had to interrupt them, otherwise they would argue endlessly.He changed the subject instantly and asked Liu Zhouyun, "Why are you all here?"

Liu Zhouyun gave Qing Mo a sideways look, and decided not to be as knowledgeable as him.Today is Mu Youfang's birthday, no matter what, he feels that he must give face to the birthday star, otherwise it will be no fun.He smiled at Mu Youfang: "It's your birthday today, as a confidant and colleague, of course I have to come to congratulate you."

Others also smiled and said their reasons for coming, most of them came to celebrate a birthday and join in the fun.

Mu Youfang smiled and said humbly to everyone: "Everyone has a heart, this friendship, Youfang will accept it."

Yun Xi looked at Mu Youfang's hand that was still on Qing Mo's hand, and they talked and laughed freely without being twitchy at all.But she felt that the two hands together were so eye-catching.

Qing Mo has a free and easy personality, usually carefree.Today, he only allowed himself to hug Mu Youfang, and no one else was allowed to touch him. He was obviously a little angry at that time.Yun Xi couldn't help thinking that if Liu Zhouyun insisted on hugging Mu Youfang, Qing Mo would definitely beat Liu Zhouyun up.

She felt a block in her heart, thinking: It's nothing to be hugged by the same man, but his appearance made her have to think about it.Yun Xi looked at Mu Youfang's gentle smiling face, her eyes flickered, and then she glanced aside.In her mind, subconsciously circling all kinds of things about Qing Mo and Mu Youfang when they were together, the more she thought about it, the colder her heart became.

This time, many people came, besides the acquaintances of Qing Mo, there were also some strangers, these were basically Mu Youfang's colleagues, these people were brought here by Liu Zhouyun, he likes to be lively, and He has a lot of popularity, as long as he calls, many people will come to join him.Not to mention his rich background, even his own official career is limitless.Therefore, it is only beneficial to befriend him, so there are quite a few people who support him.

Everyone took turns to give presents, congratulations.Mu Youfang was very sincere and thanked them from the bottom of his heart. He, who was too strong to drink, took the initiative to toast and thanked them one by one before he was able to escape.

Kong Qing and Chi Tong have been sitting and drinking tea, quietly watching them talking and laughing happily.

Mu Youfang got the chance, walked over to them, teased with a smile: "Should I also toast first?" Blurred, already slightly drunk.Qing Mo stood next to him, afraid that he would fall drunk and fall to the ground.

Kong Qing nodded with a smile, while Chi Tong spit out two words: "Of course!"

Those who have never seen Chi Tong and Kong Qing are attracted by their unusual temperament.They sat there casually, but somehow they felt very good-looking, even though they couldn't see clearly what Chi Tong looked like.The temperament is there, no matter how you say it, it will not be unsatisfactory.Although Kong Qing is a monk, his demeanor is not dull like that of a monk. On the contrary, his brows and eyes are gentle and elegant, and he looks like a modest son.

Mu Youfang held the wine glass and laughed heartily, Chitong was in a rare moment of interest: "Come and drink with us!" Mu Youfang held up the wine glass and signaled to Kong Qing and Chitong.

Kong Qing and Chi Tong took a sip of tea.Putting down the teacup, Mu Youfang's mouth was still stained with wine, and he looked at them slyly, with his hands spread out.Obviously asking for a gift.

Qing Mo said from the side: "I've drunk all the wine, hurry up and give me a gift."

Everyone also booed at the side: "Give a gift, give a gift." They didn't expect much from this gift, they just felt that the atmosphere was very good and they all joined in the fun.

Kong Qing took out a palm-sized white jade porcelain vase, and the eyes of those who knew the goods lit up.This jade is crystal clear and white, delicate and moist, and its shape is like curd fat. At first glance, it is made of high-quality suet white jade.

Qing Mo directly took it over without politeness, and opened it to have a look.There were six elixirs inside, all of which were of good quality, so he nodded in satisfaction.Then stuffed it back into Mu Youfang's arms.

Everyone was taken aback, such a good mutton fat white jade bottle is really just a container?They all shook their heads in pain.Cursed, what a waste of money.

Qing Mo knew that most of the elixir was refined by Chi Tong, but at this time Kong Qing took it out, and no one else knew about it.So when not to blackmail Chitong at this time, such opportunities are rare.He winked at Mu Youfang quietly, Mu Youfang became more courageous after drinking, and immediately understood Qing Mo's intentions, raised his head and spread his hands at Chi Tong again.

Chitong glanced at Qing Mo's face that couldn't hide the smile, then looked at Mu Youfang.Forget it, his birthday should be given to him to save face and satisfy him.He remembered that he had gotten a pair of purple glazed hairpins before, and since he didn't like purple, but they were rare and good things, he didn't throw them away, and put them away, so it's okay to take them out and use them now.

He found the pair of purple glazed hairpins in his "sleeves".Put it casually on Mu Youfang's outstretched hand.

Mu Youfang stared at the purple glazed hairpin in his hand and everyone was stunned. Under the bright lights, the purple colored glazed hairpin exuded a mysterious light. Mu Youfang raised the two colored glazed hairpins above his head and looked at them. The colorful rays of light are refracted through the lights, and the beauty is even more vivid than before, making people unable to move their eyes away.

The whole body is crystal clear, the color is pure without a trace of variegation, the workmanship is exquisite and simple.The two glazed hairpins seem to be different in shape, one has an oblate and long front end, and the other has a rhomboid front end, with vines and leaves carved on it.The difference between the two hairpins is that the center point around the leaves and vines is different.One is surrounded by a dragon's claw, and the other is surrounded by a phoenix's tail. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that it is a dragon's claw, and that is a phoenix's tail. On top of them is a pure purple colored glaze shaped like water droplets. .

Because the shapes of the two hairpins are somewhat different, they look different and very pleasing to the eye.

This purple colored glaze hairpin is even more valuable than the mutton fat white jade bottle just now, it is so transparent, and the pure colored colored glaze that is not stained with variegated colors is even more valuable.All the princes and ladies of the aristocratic families present were dazzled by the light of this purple colored glaze, colored glaze is rare and precious, and rare.The way they looked at Kong Qing and Chi Tong changed. The gifts they gave were not wrapped in gift boxes. It can be seen that they were taken out at random. The gifts they took out casually were so precious and rare. Hidden.

Mu Youfang came back to his senses, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his face: "Satisfied."

Turning around, he inserted another glass hairpin into Qing Mo's hair.The expressions of the four of them were the same, but the other people present felt that something was wrong. The colored glaze hairpins were originally a pair. Logically speaking, they should have been given to the person he admired. Why did Mu Youfang give it to Qing Mo without hesitation? .

Just now when Qing Mo snatched his white jade bottle first without notice, they only said that the two of them had a good relationship, but now they didn't understand the meaning.

Yun Xi's eyes were red and covered with mist, she lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand until it was deformed.

Lin Yujun looked at Qing Mo who not only accepted the glass hairpin that Mu Youfang sent him very naturally, but also carefully supported Mu Youfang who was slightly drunk.She always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong for a while. In short, she felt uncomfortable, and she just wanted to move forward immediately, wishing to separate the two of them.

Liu Zhouyun blinked his eyes, maybe he saw it wrong.

Lin Jinfeng never liked masculinity, so he turned his face away in disgust.If his sister was not still there, he would have turned around and left this "filthy" place long ago.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief, as if they couldn't believe it was true.

Mu Youfang looked at the colored glaze hairpin on Qing Mo's hair, giggled, and raised his hand to insert another purple glazed hairpin into his bun.Just when everyone was taking a breath.Mu Youfang softened his body and fell towards Qing Mo, with his eyes closed and his mouth smiling, completely drunk.

Everyone broke into a cold sweat. It turned out that they were drunk. It seemed that they were thinking too much.
