Su curtain has a cover

Su Mu thought he had come early enough, but when he arrived at the West Garden, the carriages outside were already full.

The West Garden was originally a royal garden, which was built by the first emperor for his favorite concubine to enjoy flowers.After succeeding to the throne today, someone reported that Xiyuan was a waste of money and people, and suggested that it should be destroyed.

At that time, it had just been three years since the death of the first emperor, and the sage felt that no large-scale construction should be done.So with a wave of the imperial pen, the West Garden, which was once only accessible to emperors and concubines, was opened and became a place for everyone to visit.

Thinking of the rumors in the market about how the former emperor and the noble concubine lived in the West Garden, Su Mu only felt that this garden was very ambiguous for no reason.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Su Mu saw Xia Houzhe leading the people striding over from the front.He was a little embarrassed, and hurried to greet him.

As soon as he moved, Xia Houzhe became faster.I didn't see it clearly either, as if a person appeared in front of Su Mu in a blink of an eye.

"Don't go too fast."

Su Mu stopped quickly, but his inertia made him fall forward.Xia Houzhe immediately supported him, holding him in his arms.

"Thank you." Su Mu took two steps back, the smile on his face unchanged: "Please wait for a long time."

Xia Houzhe looked at his clothes, as if he was estimating something.He shook his head after hearing this sentence: "Just arrived."

At this time, the few people who were behind also followed up, and when they heard these two words, they looked strange.

Su Mu smiled, nodded to Twelve in the group, and said, "Then, go in now?"

Xia Houzhe looked behind him: "Where are the people following you?"

Su Mu waved to Chang Ping who was beside the carriage, and Chang Ping drove away with great interest.

Su Mu turned back with a smile and said, "Su didn't bring anyone with him today, Brother Xiahou, I'll rely on you later."

Seeing this rascal's appearance, Xia Houzhe smiled, and he turned sideways to let the two stand side by side: "Then, let's go."

Although there was still a short distance away, Su Mu could still clearly see the wet marks on the man's cloak.

The cold wind brings autumn dew, and the water marks are not dry even after sunrise.Su Mu lowered his eyes, his heart was dark and unclear.

The Qiuju Banquet had a very high standard, and all the people who came to the banquet were nobles.Therefore, even if it is the outermost gate, it is received by the direct line of the Yang family in person.

Yang Jing just sent Princess Qing in, and saw Xia Houzhe as soon as she turned around.He tensed up all over, and there was a dull pain in the place where his father Yang Shang had just beaten him.

"Ah... General Xiahou's presence here is really rare!"

He smiled stiffly, and a thought kept circling in his mind: Doesn't this evil star dislike attending banquets?Why are you here today!

If his father saw it... Yang Jing's heart was gloomy, and she felt that this day would not be able to survive.

Xia Houzhe didn't say much, just responded lightly, and after a few pleasantries, he brought Su Mu in together.

It was only after the people walked away that Yang Jing managed to regain his mind.Taking advantage of no one, he asked his cousin next to him: "Who is that person who came with Xia Houzhe? Why do I feel familiar?"

His cousin was also quite confused: "I haven't seen it before. I heard from Xia Houzhe that it was Su Mu from the Su family. That Su family?"

Surname Su?Yang Jing slapped his cousin violently, and he remembered!

Isn't this the same person I met when I sent Su Yu home last time!

No wonder it looks familiar!Inexplicable uneasiness welled up in his heart, and he said absent-mindedly: "The Su family, isn't it my uncle's family?"

"Are you still in touch with them?" His cousin was shocked: "If grandma finds out, Second Uncle will take your skin off!"

Yang Jing felt aggrieved: "But isn't he my uncle? Why can't we date him!"

His cousin pointed at him and was about to speak when another person came in front of him.Reluctantly, he could only put on his smile again, and said in a cold voice before going forward: "No contact is not allowed, so why are there so many!"

After entering the gate, walk inward along the circular sandwiched wall, and there are lush green bamboos on the other side of the wall, and the color is very clear.

The servants leading the way in front were very polite, walking in front neither far nor near.Make sure you can hear the call of the nobleman behind you, but you can't hear the conversation clearly.

Su Mu lowered his voice: "There are also bamboos here."

Xia Houzhe touched the back of his hand, then adjusted his position naturally, trying to block the cold wind in the passage as much as possible.

"Taizu likes bamboo, so it is customary for the Royal Palace to plant bamboo."

Twelve, who was following behind, held back his words all the way, and finally couldn't hold it back at this moment, and jumped over like a monkey: "I heard that it is actually Qin Jun's Empress Xizhu, but Taizu was afraid that people would say that the Empress is arrogant, so he came here." Say what you like."

Xia Houzhe glanced at him, Twelve quickly retracted his head, and turned into a quail again.

Su Mu looked at Xiuzhu, who was so bright and unyielding, and said with a smile: "Honestly open-minded, not afraid of frost and snow, it is indeed like that one who will like it."

The West Garden is divided into front and rear parts. Today, the front garden receives male guests, while the back garden receives female guests.The servant who led the way introduced it carefully, and after passing through the sandwich wall, the convenience ahead suddenly became clear.

A gurgling stream runs around the garden, and after crossing several stone bridges, it flows into the rippling inner lake.

The corridor cleverly divides the space, and is properly dotted with rockery and Taihu stones.The autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom were placed on the side of the road, and there were quite a few people in the garden.

Those people were in groups of twos and threes, some were talking with hands, some were enjoying flowers, and some were gathering around to greet each other.

The upper ethos of Dayuan is relatively open, respecting culture and education, and paying attention to freehand style in everything.

Su Mu looked around, and found that the people here basically had wide sleeves and crowns, and then wore a scholarly beard.

Looking sideways at Xiahou Zhe's clean chin, Su Mu couldn't help admiring it several times.

Xia Houzhe lowered his eyes slightly.

Su Mu let out a chuckle, and was about to speak when someone came up to him with big strides from the front left: "Hahaha! Nephew, are you willing to go out? It's so rare!"

Su Mu turned his head to look, and found that the visitor was about fifty, with a square face, long eyes and eagle nose. Although he had a pleasant smile, he could feel a little sinister.

Xia Houzhe's aura changed imperceptibly, his back straightened, his eyes were like cold stars, exuding an invisible majesty.

"Master Chen made fun of it."

Master Chen seemed unaware of his indifference, and was still very enthusiastic: "You boy, why, you just became the champion general, and you don't even call him Uncle Shi anymore?"

Although he said this with a smile, inexplicably, Su Mu sensed the dissatisfaction in his words.

Xia Houzhe smiled lightly: "Master Chen is serious. You and I are officials in the same dynasty. Since we have no relatives, it's better...to avoid suspicion."

Master Chen's smile faded slightly, he glanced around, Su Mu tactfully retreated to the side with the twelve and the others.

As soon as he walked to a few pots of chrysanthemums, Xia Houzhe chased after him before he looked at them seriously.

Su Mu saw that his expression was normal. Although he was a little curious, he didn't ask any more questions.It was Xia Houzhe who said by himself: "He is not a good person, don't trust him."

Su Mu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Are you coaxing the child?"

He frowned lightly: "What kind of good guys are bad guys...how do you tell the difference?"

Xia Houzhe didn't care about his teasing, and said without hesitation: "It's up to you."

Su Mu was dumbfounded, and after a while, he pointed to the boat parked by the lake: "Can you row?"

Facts have proved that General Xiahou can't row a boat.

Su Mu, who was originally sitting in the cabin, leaned out and felt dizzy: "You didn't let Twelve come to help, is it just to circle around here!"

Obviously, the lake is relatively open, but this small boat is circling around not far from the shore.

Twelve stood by the lake with arms folded, using his kung fu to suppress the desire to laugh wildly.

The other guards stood aside, and someone asked puzzledly, "Since it's not possible, why doesn't the general let me wait to do it for you?"

Twelve's face was deep: "You don't understand, you are a man, so you can't say that you are not good."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the small boat suddenly heading towards the center of the lake like an arrow leaving the string.

There was silence on the shore, and after a while, someone silently sighed: "It turns out that internal energy can still be used like this."

The water in the lake was rippling, and several swans crossing their necks were frightened and jumped up, hurriedly avoiding the uninvited guests who came suddenly.

Just when the incident happened suddenly, Su Mu couldn't grab something to fix it, and fell back with a groan.

In panic, he only had time to close his eyes, and gave Xia Houzhe a middle finger in his heart.

After a while, he noticed something strange.Why is this board so soft, it even smells good.

Su Mu's face darkened, and he pushed the person holding him away without opening his eyes: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Xia Houzhe let go of his hand, and a smile flashed in his deep blue eyes: "No, the boat has reached the center of the lake." The boat has indeed reached the center of the lake, but the way it came makes people speechless.

There were originally two people playing chess in the Huxin Pavilion. After seeing the movement here, one of them stood up and laughed loudly: "Young Xiahou, you are good at it!"

Xia Houzhe walked out of the cabin with a smile on his face: "Uncle Li."

Su Mu came out after him and exchanged glances with the man.Appreciation flashed in his heart, this person's demeanor may be comparable to that of Xiahou when he was young!Because of him, even the simple pavilions are full of splendor.

This is true freehand style.

It's a pity that this Uncle Li should be quite old. Even though there are not many gaps on his face, the tiredness hidden in his eyes and his half-white hair reveal his oldness.

Hearing Xia Houzhe's address, the man stood up straight with a rather surprised expression.

The person who was sitting in the pavilion and thinking hard also raised his head: "Uncle Li? Li Xici, you haven't heard this name in ten years, right?"

"17 years..." Li Xici's expression was full of indescribable words: "Since his father died, this little brat has never called me again."

The two people over there talked directly, but Xia Houzhe's expression remained unchanged. He parked the boat and protected Su Mu to come down.

Su Mu hid her shock and jumped off the boat carefully.

Li Xici looked amused, he waved his hands: "Which family's son is this, who can make little Azhe care so much?"

Xia Houzhe was very calm: "He is my good friend, and he has been in poor health since he was a child."

Li Xici smiled and didn't ask any more questions.Su Mu also pretended to have answered, saluted briefly and then began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The person sitting in Xia Houzhe's court salutes: "Lord Tai Bu."

The man didn't respond, but randomly grabbed a chess piece from the chessboard and threw it on the ground. After looking at it for a while, he said in surprise: "No, no, nephew Xiahou, you may be bloody in the past!"
