Chapter 31: Return to Beijing
After dinner, Mu Zi said goodbye to Liu's family, Sister Yuan seemed to know that she was leaving, and suddenly became restless, twisted in Mama Lu's arms, and stretched out a pair of small hands in the direction of Mu Zi to hug, although Mu Zi wanted to take Sister Yuan back to her yard, but the time was not yet, she walked over and kissed her on the forehead, and then walked towards the door and left.
Behind her, Sister Yuan burst into tears.
Mu Zi couldn't bear it, stopped, and turned around, "Mother ......"
Liu sighed, took two steps forward and hugged Sister Yuan'er, and said with some distress, "Sister Yuan likes to follow you, it can be seen that you two are indeed a mother and daughter!" Wait until she's asleep and then carry her back! ”
Mu Zi nodded, walked to Sister Yuan'er's side, who knew that the villain seemed to be angry, twisted his head, buried himself in Liu's arms, and grabbed Liu's sleeve with his little hand, looking worried about being sold.
Mu Zi came to her side and coaxed and kissed, it was easy to get the villain's forgiveness, Sister Yuan stretched out her hand aggrievedly, Mu Zi hurriedly hugged it, the villain's face was full of tears, Mu Zi saw that she was distressed, and hurriedly "poofed" hard for a long time, and the villain burst into tears.
The villain played all night, and he was tired at the moment, and soon fell asleep in Mu Zi's arms.
Mu Zi hugged her for a while, making sure that the little person was indeed asleep, and then handed her over to Mama Lu.
As for why she didn't hand it over to the female secret guard, on the one hand, it was because Sister Yuan avoided it, and on the other hand, she herself said that she had killed too many people in the past, and it was best for children not to get close, so as not to be contaminated with evil spirits.
When she said this, her expression was calm and indifferent, as if she didn't care at all. Mu Zi was a little interested in her.
On the way back, I passed by the garden of the Hou Mansion, because I was going to hold a 100-day banquet for Sister Yuan, and the garden was even more beautiful after being arranged.
I don't know if it's psychological, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, Mu Zi actually felt a little lonely. Who would have thought that so many things would happen in just a few days?
Not only could she not hold a 100-day banquet for Sister Yuan'er, but she also lost her father and mother at the same time.
Born in such a rich family, but not as good as the common people, although the life is not rich, but at least the family is together.
After going back to the room to take a bath, Mu Zi asked Ah Gui and the others to go back to rest, and then sat on the bed to practice the internal strength method. This is a set of basic martial arts techniques, which can be practiced without aura, which is most suitable for Mu Zi's current situation.
Knowing that the Hou Mansion of Wu'an is in crisis now, she has to speed up the improvement of her strength.
The internal strength method is extremely simple for Mu Zi, and after the accumulation of the previous few nights, it must be possible to achieve it tonight. At that time, the wind and grass of the entire Hou Mansion will not be able to escape her ears.
Those who are hiding in the shadows, she will slowly find out one by one!
Soon half a month passed, and the Hou Mansion was almost ready, just waiting for the Marquis of Wu'an to lead the army back to Beijing in triumph.
The rumors outside Liu also heard about it, and they didn't deliberately change the direction of the wind, so they spread around by those marginal words.
Originally, according to Liu's meaning, Wang Junyao's affairs should be told to the Gu family, but before Wang Junyao left that day, she said that she didn't know when she would return, so she let everyone in the British Mansion think she was really dead.
Although Liu felt that this was inappropriate, he also respected her meaning.
On the day of the triumph of the army, the north-south avenue where the soldiers entered the city was already full of people. The Jin Dynasty has been at war for many years, and now that the northwest is calm, it is naturally a happy event for all the people to celebrate, and the merchants have closed their doors and stopped doing business, just to witness the demeanor of the hero in their hearts - Wu Anhou.
It was still early, the moon was still hanging obliquely in the air, and Liu's Qinghe Residence was already brightly lit.
For so many years, every time Wu Anhou came back from an expedition, she would definitely go to the city gate early in the morning and wait. Every time he saw him dressed in black armor, riding on a tall horse, majestic and unangry, and listening to the people around him talk about his heroic achievements, Liu felt that his heart that had been frightened suddenly became steady. It would be nice to return safely.
"Madam, the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother are already waiting in the yard!" Mama Zhou took a pale cyan cloak and helped the Liu family put it on.
"Let's go, then!" Ryu nodded.
Mu Zi and the female secret guard were already waiting by the carriage, and Mama Lu was holding Sister Yuan'er, who was still sleeping.
Liu looked at Sister Yuan'er's sweet little face, and there was a hint of softness on her face, "Let's go!" ”
The men rode in two carriages in the direction of the city gate, and as they approached the gate, the carriage could no longer move forward. The originally wide avenue ahead was crowded with people at this time.
The army would not enter the city until about noon, and now it was only slightly bright, which showed the enthusiasm of the people.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put on their hoods, got out of the carriage, and walked towards the teahouse on the street.
This teahouse is the property of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, and everyone in Beijing knows it. The reason why it can be spread so widely is naturally there a story. More than ten years ago, Mrs. Wu'anhou stood on the side of the road with a child waiting for her husband to return, at that time, Wu'anhou had not yet inherited the title, but was just a son, and when he saw his wife's face flushed, he was distressed, and he got off the horse and threw down the army and hugged Liu in his arms.
After that, Hou Shizi of Wu'an bought this teahouse in a high-profile manner, and instructed the Liu family to sit in the teahouse when he waited for him in the future, and he would definitely go to the teahouse as soon as he returned to the city.
After that, this matter quickly spread in Beijing, although it attracted a lot of rumors, but more people respected Wu'an Hou Shizi and his wife.
But there is no shortage of careful people, if you dig deeper, you will always wonder, Mrs. Shizi was born into a famous family and married so rich, why do you have to stand on the side of the road and wait for her husband?
Every time the army returns to the court, there is no shortage of people from the middle of Beijing who come to see the excitement, but who doesn't sit in the pre-determined private room of the restaurant or teahouse?
The people who are so confused can only think about it silently in their hearts, but the ladies of the family are clear in their hearts, this must be the whole moth of the noble concubine in the palace again.
The Xue family was only a noble concubine at that time, and it stands to reason that the Liu family's rank as the wife of the prince is much higher than her, but the Xue family has never acted without scruples, but the Liu family has to be careful everywhere for the sake of the Hou Mansion and the husband, which further fuels the arrogance of the Xue family.
Xue Guifei recruited the Liu family into the palace the day before the return of the army, saying that even those ordinary people who are not related by blood know to stand for a few hours and wait for the return of the army to show their sincerity, and the Liu family, as a wife, cannot even be compared to ordinary people. As the future patriarch of the Marquis of Wu'an, the Liu family should lead by example, at least like the people, standing on the long street, waiting for the army to return.
It's a pity that the Xue family didn't expect that the Liu family would let the prince stand up for his wife regardless of the military order. The effect is naturally excellent, and no one dares to use this matter as a raft from then on, and the Xue family has gritted his teeth even more since then.
