Chapter 44: The Unspeakable
Today's banquet, Mu Chenghuang naturally sent someone to invite Tian Wu, but Tian Wu was a little late, but Tian Wu also had his own considerations when he arrived late, after all, he had been practicing all morning, and he was sweaty, and this time there were guests coming, so he naturally had to take a good bath and wash it to wwΔ w.kgege.la
In this winter, in fact, it is very inconvenient to take a bath, ordering someone to boil water, Tian Wu himself resists the water, coming and going, it took almost an hour, hurry up, and it is not too late. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Mu Chenghuang saw that Tian Wu was also deliberately wearing a new dark blue robe, but this dress was a little thin, it should be suitable for late autumn wear, and now he was wearing it, and it looked a little cold, so he hurriedly pulled Tian Wu in, and scolded softly: "It's snowing outside, wearing like this, like a girl, just caring about beauty." ”
Tian Wu scratched his head very embarrassedly, seeing that Lin Shangshu had a little face, but where had he seen it, Tian Wu thought hard, as if it was a long time ago, when he entered the palace to visit the emperor, he saw this uncle standing on both sides of the main hall.
Tian Wu knew that the person who could stand in front of him and stand in front of him must be unusual, so he saluted Lin Shangshu very respectfully, Lin Shangshu also looked at Tian Wu with familiarity, but he couldn't remember his identity at once, he just nodded kindly.
When Mu Chenghuang saw it, he was busy introducing Tian Wu.
"This is the dragon and phoenix fetus of General Tian Weitian's family, surnamed Tian Danzi and Wu, and Lord Shangshu, he should have met before. ”
Mu Chenghuang said this, Lin Shangshu finally remembered, Tian Wei's name, although it is only the most thunderous in the northwest, but in the capital, in the entire Dashun, it can be regarded as a little famous, and his pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses with strong martial arts are even more heard of by everyone, not to mention, they have seen it before.
Lin Shangshu nodded at Tian Wu with a smile, Tian Wei was high-spirited, Lin Shangshu was also convinced, and asked again: "I don't know, is the sister in this dragon and phoenix fetus also in this courtyard?"
Yes, why didn't Tian Xin come, but Tian Xin didn't come, it was also expected by Mu Chenghuang, she smiled and played a round for Tian Wu: "Tian Xin told me today, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't come." ”
Tian Wu nodded hurriedly, and Mu Chenghuang asked the maid to lead Tian Wu to sit down next to his seat.
opened the banquet, although the Lin family and his party are very particular about etiquette, especially Mrs. Lin, since she is from a beautiful background, she eats in small bites, but Mu Chenghuang's dish is really appetizing, although he eats slowly, but the chopsticks have not stopped, and he has eaten a lot of small bites.
While eating, Shen Ke occasionally had a few words with Mu Chenghuang, but because the Lin family was there, he could only ask about ordinary household words, and as for the private words between sisters, he would wait for this banquet to come later.
After the banquet was dispersed, Shen Ke and the Lin family said some greetings and followed Mu Chenghuang back to the courtyard, and the little maid outside was very sensible to prepare everything for Mu Chenghuang and Shen Ke, including Shen Ke's favorite longan red date tea, and some delicious white sugar cakes
Inside the house, a basin of silver carbon burned silently, but it warmed the whole room, making the room as warm as a spring day, Shen Ke took off the heavy cotton robe draped on his body, Mu Chenghuang glanced at it, and said: "This cotton robe is heavy and not warm, when you leave, take my crane with you, this is what the prince found for me, it is very warm." ”
Shen Ke held the longan red date tea in his hand, talking about this longan red date tea, the best thing to drink is still brewed by Mu Chenghuang himself, and there is no comparison anywhere else.
"How can that work, that is a piece of heart that the prince gave to the fifth princess, and the princess gave it to me like this, and I am not afraid that the prince will be angry. Shen Ke smiled, although he still called Mu Chenghuang a princess, but his tone was much lighter, and his attitude was not as restrained as before in front of people.
"You are busy going in and out to take care of the Lin family, I just need to lie in this warm house every day, stay at home, you need more than me, speaking of the prince, this time you came back from Lingnan, but you met the prince?
Although Mu Qinyi is called a dead ghost, but Mu Chenghuang's concern for Mu Qinyi, Shen Ke really sees it, she really wants to have a face-to-face with Mu Qinyi, so that when she comes back, she can report to Mu Chenghuang, so as not to worry Mu Chenghuang.
It's just a pity......
Shen Ke shook his head: "It's really not, we walked ahead of the prince, but we just met a deputy general who looked extremely capable to escort us all the way out of Lingnan in a small boat, but Wen Zhi and Suzaku are still in Lingnan, and the prince should bring them out," Shen Ke said, touching Mu Chenghuang's soft little hand again, "Fifth princess, I know that you have a deep friendship with Wenzhi Suzaku, you can bear with it a little, and after a few days, you can see them." ”
"That's excellent," although I know that as long as I wait for Mu Qinyi to come back, I can not only see Mu Qinyi, but also see the Wenzhi and Vermilion Bird that Mu Chenghuang has been worried about for a long time, but can Mu Qinyi come back safely, the current situation, although other places except the capital, seem to be less turbulent, but the waves are surging, especially this Lingnan, which has become a place of expectation, Mu Chenghuang shook the longan and red date tea in his hand, and wanted to shake the longan and red dates that had sunk to the bottom," I don't know, where is the prince now, what happened. ”
Shen Ke knew that no matter how many comforting words he had, he couldn't match Mu Qinyi's real appearance, so he just appeased and said, "Wang Ye Ji is a natural person, and he is so resourceful, he will definitely be fine." ”
After talking about Mu Chenghuang's affairs here, Mu Chenghuang couldn't help but want to ask Shen Ke and Lin Guanlan about the past, after all, the relationship between the two can be regarded as ups and downs and wavering.
I remember that last time, when Shen Ke and Mu Chenghuang were separated in the woods on the outskirts of Beijing, Shen Ke's words were still so uncertain, and what he said to Mu Chenghuang before was that he was also preparing to reconcile with Lin Guanlan, but now, he was still in and out with the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, busy before and after.
But as soon as he mentioned this, Shen Ke's face became extremely stiff.
As if there was something unspeakable, Shen Ke became a little stammered: "It's already like this, I can't let go of Old Lady Lin and Mrs. Lin, the two of them treat me very well, this time I'm seriously ill, I have to ...... You have to be there to take care of it. ”
"That's not the real reason. Mu Chenghuang couldn't help but say, "Ake, you are not a hesitant person, you have always dared to act, what do you think? Do you still like Lin Guanlan? If you like it, you won't be so uncomfortable, but if you don't like it, you are a cow and a horse in the Lin family, and you work hard, what is it?"
Shen Ke turned his head unnaturally, and said something else casually to Mu Chenghuang: "If Wenzhi comes, Imperial Physician Zhang will definitely come over, didn't the fifth princess take medicine that caused great harm to her body before, but she could let Imperial Physician Zhang take good care of it." ”
Mu Chenghuang saw that Shen Ke didn't want to say, knowing that it was useless to ask no matter how much he asked, he didn't speak anymore, the two just said something about Xiang's family, but now that Red Sleeves hasn't come back from Jiangnan, he doesn't know what happened, it's just some speculation, and when he didn't arrive, Shen Ke went back a little staggeringly.
After Shen Ke left, the old woman in the courtyard came in to wash Mu Chenghuang, without Wenzhi to comb his hair, without Baojuan to choose clothes for himself, he was a little unaccustomed to it, but the old woman who combed her hair was an experienced old man, and she had been serving the biological mother of the five princes before, and the fifth prince Feng Xun specially transferred her over to take care of Mu Chenghuang's daily life, and she also valued Mu Chenghuang very much.
There is no way, according to Feng Xun's words, even if he doesn't look for it, Mu Qinyi will rummage through Xiyi and find the best mother-in-law for Mu Chenghuang, it is better to be honest and let Mu Qinyi owe himself this favor.
This mother-in-law's surname is Ma, but she is somewhat similar to Ma Cainu, who has dealt with her in the palace before, she has a national character face, and she speaks word by word, like an old pedant.
"The hair of the fifth princess is fine and soft, and it is like algae, which is really beautiful. While combing Mu Chenghuang's hair, this Ma Pozi couldn't help but sigh, she has combed the hair of so many people, and the hair of the fifth princess Zhao Yuping and Mu Chenghuang's hair are the best.
This Ma Pozi is a warm-hearted person, every time she combs Mu Chenghuang's hair, she will ask Mu Chenghuang in advance what she is going to do next, if she is ready to fall asleep early, it is a simple and good-looking one, if she wants to read the book later, she will use the hairpin to simply make a bun for Mu Chenghuang, before going to bed, take the hairpin, and you can sleep comfortably, and know that Mu Chenghuang likes to eat Xiyi's white sugar cake, but it is not easy to go out in this courtyard, when she can go out herself, she will also bring some to Mu Chenghuang.
No, when I went out to do errands in the afternoon, I brought some more to Mu Chenghuang, and after combing my hair, I took it out of a white handkerchief for Mu Chenghuang.
Mu Chenghuang smiled when he saw it: "It's really a coincidence, after chatting with Miss Shen in the afternoon, this white sugar cake happened to be almost eaten, Granny Ma, are you a clever fairy? ”
Mu Chenghuang's mouth is sweet, and he often praises Mrs. Ma's happiness, the more she praises, the more Mrs. Ma likes to serve Mu Chenghuang, Mrs. Ma smiled when she heard it, and then thought of something, and took out a bag of plum from another small bag and handed it to Mu Chenghuang: "Speaking of this Miss Shen, the slave maid remembered that this was for Miss Shen." ”
Mu Chenghuang was a little surprised, and while taking the words, he said: "In my impression, Ah Ke doesn't seem to like sour. ”
