It was said that the closer one was to home, the more timid one was.
The closer Li Muyang was to home, the more he wanted to see his parents and sister as soon as possible. He didn't feel "timid" at all.
What was there to be timid about? They were the closest people in the world to him.
However, when he was about to face Cui Xiaoxin, he deeply realized the power of these words.
The closer one was to home, the more timid one was. It had nothing to do with being close to home, it was just love.
Cui Xiaoxin!
This was a girl that made him look forward to it, but also made him afraid. The girl who made him happy and sad at the same time.
Because of the love that ended in vain, because of the inexplicable revenge. It pushed the relationship between Li Muyang and Cui Xiaoxin into an extremely awkward situation.
Li Muyang needed an answer, and Cui Xiaoxin needed an apology.
This was what neither of them should give.
Li Muyang had imagined meeting Cui Xiaoxin again countless times, but he never thought that he would meet her in such a posture and with such a face.
Li Shinian's strength was not great, if Li Muyang wanted to, she would not be able to pull him.
However, Li Muyang's feet still obediently followed her outside.
That was not the strength of Li Shinian, but the strength of Cui Xiaoxin.
Cui Xiaoxin called him at the door.
After arriving at the yard, Li Shinian had already let go of Li Muyang's arm, and threw a big cloth bag into his arms.
She winked at Li Muyang, and then walked quickly to Cui Xiaoxin who was waiting at the door.
Cui Xiaoxin was wearing a white gown, flawless, clean and smart, as usual.
"Xiaoxin," Li Shinian came forward, took Cui Xiaoxin's hand, and greeted her with a smile. "Why are you here so early?"
"It's a long journey, let's set off earlier. If we arrive today, we can still take a stroll around the Thousand Buddha Temple." Cui Xiaoxin held Li Shinian's hand tightly and pulled her to board the carriage. She said, "The Thousand Buddha Temple is famous for its Thousand Buddhas. It is said that behind each Buddha statue is a group portrait of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. We can take a good look."
"Great. I don't know how to paint, but I like to look at other people's paintings. "Li Shinian said with a smile. Turning around, he glanced at Li Muyang and said, "What are you waiting for? Get someone to drive the carriage out."
Cui Xiaoxin looked at Li Shinian and said, "Xiaoxin, do you also want to bring a carriage? We'll be in the same carriage, so we can talk on the way. "
Li Shinian nodded and said, "Alright."
Then he said to Li Muyang, "There's no need to drive the carriage. You take my luggage and go to the back. "
"Yes." Li Muyang responded in a low voice, but stood in the same place without moving.
His eyes were fixed on Cui Xiaoxin. She was as thin as before, but her face was a little rosier. It may also be because the winter in Tiandu was too cold.
She was a little taller and more voluptuous. Now was the time for this girl to grow, even Li Shinian's chest was a lot fuller. He didn't dare to look around and didn't dare to put his hands.
Her voice was soft and gentle, and her gestures were still so familiar.
She was so close, but he didn't know what to say.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Li Shinian looked at Li Muyang's lifeless appearance and deliberately asked.
"Yes." Li Muyang nodded.
"Do you like it?" Li Shinian then asked.
"Shinian — —" Cui Xiaoxin raised her eyebrows and said in a reproachful tone.
"Hey." Li Shinian responded, smiled and said: "I saw he was so silly, so I deliberately teased him — — What are you waiting for? Go and put my luggage in. "
"Yes." Li Muyang came to his senses, turned and walked to the back of the convoy.
Seeing Li Muyang staring at her, Cui Xiaoxin felt a little strange and asked: "Who is he?"
"A cart driver sent by the Lu mansion." Li Shinian said with a smile. "Since you don't need to drive the carriage, then let him follow behind and do odd jobs."
"Oh." Cui Xiaoxin didn't ask any more questions. Just a cart driver, it really wasn't worth her saying anything more.
"Get in the carriage. It's cold outside. "Cui Xiaoxin said.
"Okay." Li Shinian quietly glanced at Li Muyang's back, and followed Cui Xiaoxin into the carriage, saying: "The weather is so cold. Going to Thousand Buddha Temple to burn incense and pray in this weather is considered sincere. "
Cui Xiaoxin gently sighed. "Compared with what Muyang has to endure, what we have to do is really nothing. As long as he can come back safely. "
Li Shinian nodded seriously, looked into Cui Xiaoxin's eyes and said: "Yes. I really hope my brother can hear what you said, then he would be very happy. "
Cui Xiaoxin smiled and did not answer.
She knew that this friend had been trying hard to bring her and her brother together, but some things were not so easy.
The Eldest Miss of the Cui family was going to Thousand Buddha Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, safety was the top priority.
In addition to a luxurious carriage for Cui Xiaoxin alone, there was another carriage carrying two personal servants, and another carriage carrying some miscellaneous items needed for clothing, food, housing and transportation. There were also more than ten riders on both sides of the carriage, and it was obvious that they were extraordinary guards.
Li Muyang explained his identity and origin, and the servant girl called Little Red sent him to the carriage carrying miscellaneous items. He had no horse, no carriage, so he could only ride in their carriage.
This was because Li Shinian and their Miss had a good relationship, otherwise Li Muyang would only be qualified to walk.
The cart driver in the front cracked his whip and the carriage began to move, speeding towards the west of Tiandu.
While Li Muyang was deep in thought, the cart driver suddenly shouted: "Boy, what's your name?"
"My name is — — Li Mu." Li Muyang said aloud. He was so focused on covering his face that he forgot to give himself a name.
"Li Mu? Then you must be a distant relative of Miss Li, right? "
Li Muyang looked at him in surprise. "How do you know?"
"Hey, what's so difficult about it? You look like a dumb and sickly person, if you weren't related to the Li family, would they have a servant like you? Besides, even if there are relatives, they are only distant relatives. If you were close, you wouldn't need to be a cart driver. With the relationship between Miss Li and the Lu residence, what kind of good work can't you find? It is said that Miss Li's father had just come to the Lu residence not long ago, but was already very important and became a steward. The steward of the Lu residence is different from other families — — "
"I see." Li Muyang was alarmed for a false alarm. He cupped his hands to the black-faced man driving the carriage. "May I ask for big brother's name?"
"Cui Meng." The black-faced man said proudly. "My surname is also Cui."
"Sorry for my rudeness." Li Muyang said aloud.
"First time out, right? I can tell you, when you go out with the Little Master, you must be sharp and quick. I'm not worried about our Miss, there are two first-class servants around to serve her. But the Miss of the Li family only brought you — — a cart driver, then you have to pay attention. Every thirty minutes, you have to go up and greet him. For example, if Miss wants to drink water, if Miss wants to eat, if Miss wants to rest, or if Miss has any instructions — — You can't just sit here and do nothing. If you wait until the Master takes the initiative to call you over, you will lose face. At that time, you won't have a good ending. "
This Big Brother Cui Meng had good intentions, Li Muyang had to cupped his hands again and said with a smile: "Thank you, Big Brother Cui Meng, for your advice. Listening to Big Brother Cui's words is better than studying for ten years. "
He repeatedly apologized to his teachers in the past ten years, thinking that they must be angry with him.
"It's okay. I'm a kind-hearted person, seeing your silly and clueless appearance reminds me of when I first came to the Cui residence — — At that time, there was no one to guide me like this, I had to go through countless hardships to figure it out. Don't underestimate the work of serving people, that is not something that ordinary people can do. Especially the Little Master in the big family, that is a heaven-sent riches and honor, for us to be able to serve by their side is also a fortunate thing for our ancestors. "
Li Muyang nodded repeatedly and said: "You're right, you're right."
However, in the end, Li Muyang did not go up to ask Li Shinian what he wanted to eat every hour like he said. Instead, the two little servant girls in the carriage in front were constantly busy, from time to time, they would bring brewed tea, prepared water, and warm mattresses to the front.
Li Muyang did not look for trouble, but trouble found Li Muyang.
Li Muyang was leaning against the carriage, listening to Big Brother Cui Meng, who was a good teacher, constantly educating him on the 'ways of being a servant', when a little servant girl in a green robe ran over, pointing to Li Muyang and said: "You, come with me."
Li Muyang did not know what this little servant girl wanted from him, but still abided by his duty as a driver and followed her to the front.
The little servant girl in a green robe brought Li Muyang to the side of the first carriage, saying aloud: "Your family's Miss asked you to come over — — as a servant, you don't know how to be clever."
Li Muyang giggled, standing beside the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Miss — — Shinian, you're looking for me?"
"Yes." Li Shinian lifted the curtain, looking at Li Muyang walking beside him and said: "We're bored riding the carriage, tell us a joke."
"— — I don't know how to tell jokes." Li Muyang said aloud. He knew that Li Shinian was creating an opportunity for him to get in touch with Cui Xiaoxin, but telling jokes was not something he was good at.
"Then tell a story." Li Shinian said.
"— — I also don't know how to tell stories."
"Then learn to meow."
"— —"
Li Shinian said angrily: "Look at other people's servant girl, serving tea and water, asking about our well-being, I brought you out, what do you think you know?"
Li Muyang looked at his sister who was' angry 'and secretly winking at him, and had to bite the bullet and say: "Then I'll tell you two a story."
