But on the other side, Xin'er was still angry, angry that the man didn't pay enough attention to her, angry that the man was careless and always said things that made her angry.
Her heart was like a bucket of water and she didn't know how to calm down. Yes, she wanted Muchuan to come to her, but she was afraid that she would lose her temper when she saw him.
Just then, a "dong dong" sound came from the door, it was her brother Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng held a wooden plate in his hand with many pastries on it.
"Sister, these are pastries sent from Kuai Ma, Ling County. I remember you liked them before. Come and try them?"
Fang Cheng said very considerately.
"Thank you brother, but I can't eat it now."
"Can't eat?
This is rare."
These pastries are Xin'er's favorite. If she had seen these pastries in the past, her eyes would have lit up and she would have eaten them all in a few seconds.
But now she was acting depressed and frowning. As the elder brother, Fang Cheng could immediately see the reason. She must be missing Muchuan.
Although this made Fang Cheng very unhappy, after all, Xin'er was his lovely sister. He cherished her endlessly and did not want anyone to take her away from him.
But if it is Muchuan, it is different. Muchuan is a man with both civil and military skills and elegant character. He is a man recognized by Fang Cheng. If he is that man, he can definitely make his sister happy.
"Sister, you and Brother Muchuan have been having trouble for a long time, right?"
"Brother, just leave me and him alone."
"I don't want to care about it, but it makes me feel bad to see you like this.
Besides, Muchuan is also very interested in you."
Fang Cheng smiled slightly and told him about Muchuan asking him for help yesterday.
If Muchuan didn't care about Xiner, he wouldn't try his best to please her.
It was precisely because he cared that Muchuan did what he did.
"So sister, think about it carefully. Muchuan is an official of the imperial court and busy with official duties, but he is willing to spend so much time on you, and even comes to ask for advice on how to make you happy. This shows how kind of person he is.
.”
Although Xin'er behaved calmly and calmly, when she heard from her brother about Muchuan's secret actions, she was still touched and elated.
I didn’t expect that Brother Muchuan would do so much. Maybe I shouldn’t be angry with him?
Maybe I should have forgiven him earlier?
"I understand, brother..." As if she had figured it out, Xin'er's face blossomed and she smiled sweetly: "Then next time Muchuan comes over, I will have a good talk with him."
"Well, that's best. You should have a heart-to-heart talk with him."
After talking about Muchuan, Fang Cheng suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, sister, a new piece of floral cloth has arrived at Linglong Village tomorrow. How about you pick it up on my behalf tomorrow?"
“Flower cloth?
Yeah!"
Baihua cloth is a kind of silk cloth embroidered with exquisite patterns. It is the finest, brightly colored, elegant and dignified. It is the favorite cloth of the rich ladies of noble officials, and it is also Xin'er's favorite.
However, the production process of floral cloth is cumbersome and the output is rare. Every time it is released, it is sold out.
The last time the floral cloth was on sale, Xin'er specifically asked her brother Fang Cheng to keep one for herself. However, Fang Cheng actually sold the remaining floral cloth out of honor to an official. For this reason, she missed it perfectly.
Floral cloth.
This time, the floral cloth arrived again after a month, and Xin'er decided to go and pick it up in person!
It was dusk three hours later, the sun was setting, and the sky was golden.
At this time, Xiner brought six shop assistants to Linglong Village to pick up the goods. When she received ten pieces of floral cloth, she was filled with joy.
These floral cloths are very beautiful, and one piece of cloth can just make a dress.
After getting the cloth, Xin'er had already imagined in her mind that after making these floral cloths into clothes, she would be the first to wear them to Muchuan. I think Muchuan would definitely like them very much!
"Miss, do we have to leave?"
A maid next to Xiner warned.
This maid has a flower bud and a light green dress. She looks cute and has a few freckles on her face. Her name is Lotus. She is Xin'er's personal maid and has been following her for five years.
Now that the sun is setting and it's getting late, the lotus flowers remind Xin'er to go back early.
Xin'er also sensed the time, so she ordered the guys to wrap up the floral cloth and transport it towards Fang's shop.
It has to be said that the team transporting the floral cloth is also very large. There are two maids, six shop assistants, and four escort thugs, a total of twelve people.
Why is it so grand to transport just ten bolts of floral cloth?
This is also natural. You must know that the flower cloth is very precious and worth thousands of gold. Just one piece can be exchanged for a hundred taels of gold. It is no wonder that the Fang family attaches so much importance to it.
However, two quarters of an hour later, when the moon had just come out, something unexpected happened!
When they arrived at a small street near Fang's mansion, twelve big men suddenly appeared, each with a strong back and a strong waist.
Before Xin'er and others could react, the group of big men rushed forward and started fighting.
For a moment, the scene was chaotic, swords clashed, and the air was filled with roars and wails.
Xiner had never seen such a scene before. She looked panicked and puzzled: "What on earth is going on?"
"Miss! Run quickly, this is a robbery!"
Lotus called out.
Yes, this kind of thing often happens even in prosperous ancient cities like Chang'an City. Low-level gangsters secretly gather together to rob landlords and officials of their property, and even worse, directly kill people.
The "hundred-flower cloth" sold by the Fang family is famous far and wide and is of extraordinary value. This is the property that the gangsters can easily target.
He Hua was a quick-witted person, so after she realized something was wrong, she dragged Xin'er and ran away. However, the two girls were intercepted by three big men before they had run very far.
The leader, a big man with a scar face, said with a smile: "Where are you going?
You’re not allowed to leave!”
Lotus: "You...what do you want to do?
Aren’t you going to grab the goods?
I can give you that piece of floral cloth."
"The floral cloth is indeed very valuable, but there is something even more valuable!"
The scar-faced man stared at Xin'er greedily. This meant clearly that he was referring to Xin'er!
This is indeed true. Baihua cloth is worth thousands of gold, but how much is Xin'er worth?
Xin'er is the eldest daughter of the Fang family. As long as she is captured, any ransom can be obtained!
"Young lady of the Fang family, just surrender and capture her. We don't want to take your life."
The scar-faced man raised his hands like a wild beast, and he was approaching Xin'er step by step.
Of course Lotus wouldn't let the big man succeed. She rushed forward with the intention of pushing the big man away, but it was useless!
