Chapter 177, Chinese New Year's Eve
With his hands empty, Mu Xuanyang felt a moment of loss, but when he thought that in the near future, this little woman would always accompany him and guard him, and his heart was warm and full of expectations and hopes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"A few days ago, I wrote back to Beiping and mentioned you and me to my mother. Ruxue, when I received the reply, I prepared a gift and asked my grandmother to come to the house to propose. It's not a discussion, Mu Xuanyang's tone is full of confidence and affirmation.
"There's no reason for you to be so anxious. What if Princess Yan doesn't allow it, or if she has already made a marriage for you?"
When Lu Ruxue asked this, she was a little worried in her heart. Before, she was afraid that her family would oppose it, but now she is worried about Princess Yan's opposition. I handed it out with a lot of love, but in exchange for it, I couldn't go back and go.
"I'm sure my mother will agree. Mu Xuanyang also thought that his father and mother would oppose it, but what if he objected, he would fight for it. It's a big deal to violate the original oath and take out Lu Ruxue's life-saving matter and tell her mother about it. With the temper of the mother, this life-saving grace should be promised by himself.
As for the marriage, the mother knew his temperament, and she would never make a marriage for him in private without a prophet.
However, these were all things that he should consider, and he would not tell Lu Ruxue, so as not to worry her. His women only need to stand behind him, protected, loved, and pampered by him.
Thinking of this, he actually thought of the news from the palace, and hurriedly reminded solemnly, "It's just that I'm afraid it's not peaceful in the first month, if there is nothing urgent, it's better to stay in the house as much as possible." ”
"Although there are many nursing homes around you, only the coachman is good at kung fu. Would you like to give Jian Sui to you?" Although Mu Xuanyang often secretly sent people to protect Lu Ruxue, he still felt that it was insufficient, and wanted to let Jian Sui protect him, so that if there was anything going on, he would know as soon as possible.
"How good is this! The four swords around you are not ordinary little guys, and there are not many people who have seen them. If I really let him follow me, I'm afraid I won't even be able to hide it from my grandfather. ”
The people in the Lu Mansion had all seen the sword spike, and Lu Ruxue knew that Mu Xuanyang was worried about herself, but she didn't dare to accept it.
"I originally liked to be quiet and not to move, and only on the second day of junior high school, I had to accompany my mother back to Yunfu. On the day of Shangyuan, I accompanied my brothers out of the house to enjoy the lanterns. When the first month comes, we will set off for Huaiyuan. Jingli is in chaos, and it doesn't matter much to me!"
"Shangyuan lantern appreciation, I have a good place to go, I will come to the house to ask Haocang and Chongyu to go together!"
Mu Xuanyang made an offer, where was the young master of the Lu Mansion, and it was clear that he was coming to Lu Ruxue. was just afraid that Lu Ruxue would be shy and refuse, so she had to turn the conversation around.
Lu Ruxue pursed her lips and smiled, nodding, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
As for the affairs in the court, Mu Xuanyang didn't want to disturb Lu Ruxue's tranquility, so he just mentioned it and didn't say anything in depth. Lu Ruxue didn't take these things to heart.
In fact, when the imperial grandson left the palace that day, Mu Xuanyang arranged for people to inquire around and learned that after the imperial grandson returned to the palace, the emperor deliberately retreated left and right and summoned him to the palace for questioning. It's just that the emperor's grandson goes out of the palace to play, if the East Palace is fine, it can't attract the emperor's attention. And Mu Xuanyang had already decided that the prince was critically ill, so he reminded Lu Ruxue.
The inner palace is uneasy, and the market is restless. The emperor was suspicious, and Mu Xuanyang was just worried that Han Song's incident would happen again. If Lu Ruxue encounters any danger again, or is injured, he will definitely be angry and distressed.
"It's not too early!" Lu Ruxue reminded. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mu Xuanyang wanted to change his court clothes and enter the main hall of the inner palace to worship for the New Year. Look at this hour, if you don't go back to the house, I'm afraid that there will be no time to change clothes.
"Okay!" Mu Xuanyang also knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he got up but still stared at Lu Ruxue with good eyes, and when he saw Lu Ruxue get up, he took her into his arms, and after imprinting a kiss on her forehead, he went over the wall with satisfaction.
Cai Yue looked at the eldest lady with a worried face, although she hadn't seen the scene just now, but the eldest lady blushed with shame, and her eyes were full of spring waves enough to cause people to reverie.
"In terms of background and character, Third Young Master Mu is the dragon and phoenix among people, and he is worthy of the eldest lady. But it is precisely because he is too high-born, I am afraid that the old lady is afraid that he will be a husband, and the eldest lady should not be too affectionate, so as not to make things work out and be sad!"
Cai Yue's words, how could Lu Ruxue not understand. But the heart has sunken, can it be taken back without a trace? I'm afraid it can't, at least the current Lu Ruxue can't do it.
Looking up at the Tianji Chenguang, I saw that I was up from my grandmother, and it didn't take long for me to ask for water to wash and change clothes, and then I drank a cup of strong tea, leaning on the wooden couch and closing my eyes to recuperate.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we should first gather in the "Kangning Garden" to greet the elders in the family. Later, the ancestral hall was opened to worship the ancestors and worship the gods. Because of the rest of the palace for a day, the eldest lord began to open up early in the morning.
Lu Ruxue gave Lu Chongyu a salute and accepted the last "New Year's money", then took the purse from Cai Yue's hand, teased Lu Hengjie, and asked her nephew to give her a New Year's greeting.
The family was amused by Lu Ruxue's naughty appearance. happily went to the ancestral hall.
After worshipping the ancestors, the names of the various houses made of plum blossom paper poured into the Taifu Mansion like snowflakes. For a while, Mrs. Tai, the Tang Clan, and the Yun Clan were all busy. Even Lu Chengyao was in the outer courtyard to help support. Lu Chuan, the general manager, took Lu Younian to count the New Year's gifts and register them in the warehouse.
Lu Ruxue left the most secure moon and star picking in the "Kangning Garden" to help. only brought Cailian and Cailing to serve closely, and went back to the "Perilla Garden" to hide lazily.
Mrs. Tai felt most sorry for her granddaughter, knowing that she slept late last night, she was not limited to serving by her side.
For a while, the mansion ushered in a lively send-off, and the Duke of Wei Mansion sent Young Master Xu Qi to the mansion to send his name, and the Taifu Mansion let Lu Chongwu go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
Generally, the servants in charge of the house are sent back and forth. Only those who are familiar with each other will send their sons and nephews to show respect.
Mu Xuanyang is young, and he has the intention of asking for marriage, so he naturally came to the door himself.
Mrs. Lu didn't doubt it, thinking that the two mansions had dealings, although Mu Xuanyang had a noble status, he was still a junior after all. So I met in person and talked for a while, but I didn't stay at the table.
According to the hour, Mu Xuanyang was afraid that he would leave the palace, so he only went back to the house to change his regular clothes, and he was afraid that he didn't even go to the Wei State Mansion, so he came to the Taifu Mansion to pay New Year's greetings first.
is valued by her sweetheart, and her heart is sweet. It's not good to find an excuse to go to the outer courtyard, after all, the outer courtyard is in a mess at this time, and there are still a lot of foreign men and minions coming in and out.
After Mu Xuanyang left, Lu Chongyu deliberately took a salute and entered the inner courtyard to see Lu Ruxue and brought her a wooden box.
Lu Ruxue knew at a glance that it was sent by Mu Xuanyang, and it was not good to behave in front of her brother, so she hid the joy in her eyes, so she took it.
