The house without a plaque in Yongxing Fang has been silent for many years, and it has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in the past six months. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that this strange family has a deep relationship with the new lord in the palace now, so they only dare to discuss it behind their backs, and never dare to find out what they are serious.

Yongxingfang, and even in the East Market, there are few people who don't know that the housewife in this house has added a new Xiaolang, and the grand occasion on the day of the baptism ceremony has also really taught people to talk about it with great interest for a few days. Some good deeds pinched their fingers and counted the day of Xiaolang's full moon, thinking that the three baptisms were still like this, and the day of the full moon was even more hot, holding back their strength to take a look at the new dignitaries in Chang'an City.

Unexpectedly, Koshiro's full moon is completely different from the baptism. However, a month later, the traffic on the day of the baptism was staggered, and it had become a mirage. It was nearly noon, and there was still silence and silence in front of the door, and even the door was closed. It is inevitable that those who wait to see the lively good deeds are extremely disappointed.

The people in the house were unaware of the loss outside, Du Ruhui had the idle post of Cao Cao, a soldier of the Qin Prince's Mansion, and he no longer had to run to the palace every day, so he was so idle that he was at home all day long to tease the naughty Xiaoshiro, teach and delay, and live a comfortable life. Mu Qing was even more happy that he could be by his side, if it weren't for the thought that had germinated in her heart, if it weren't for the truth that she knew that there must be calm and abnormal before the storm, she would almost believe that they would have lived like this for a long time since then.

Ah Liu couldn't help but sigh, "The people's hearts are really influenced by the power of the sect, and the people who are still squeezing into this gate after baptizing the three rites are not seen now." ”

"Isn't that good? When the gravel and gold dust are squeezed together, it is still impossible to distinguish which is sand and which is gold, and at this time the sand is exhausted, and only gold is left. Mu Qing smiled and looked at Du Ruhui in the courtyard and hugged Shiro straight amused, and rummaged through a small belly pocket with gold thread embroidery in his hand, "The child is full moon, it should be a close friend to congratulate, provoking so many irrelevant people, not a little busy." ”

Ah Liu tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly felt reasonable, and saw the small belly pocket in her hand, and couldn't help but pick it up and touch it together, "In the end, Ah Yue's hands are more dexterous, and her mind is also delicate, looking at Tsushima, the embroidery is as if she is really about to jump out." ”

"She is already Jieyu of the third grade, even I have to kneel down when I see her, and you still call Ah Yue Ah Yue. Do you think you should fight or not? Mu Qing playfully corrected her again.

A few days ago, the palace came to reward, and Ah Yue of the day, and now Guo Jieyu, rewarded a few objects on the table according to the gift, except for some gold and silver utensils, all according to the rules of the palace. Privately dotted the inner supervisor who came to give the reward, and attached another package under the reward object, after Mu Qing rewarded the inner supervisor and sent it out, he opened the package with Ah Liu and took a look, only to see a bag full of small belly pockets, tiger head shoes, small clothes and other things, Ah Liu recognized at a glance that all of Ah Yue's needles were needles. After all the hard work and quiet delivery, the two of them were half funny and half moved in their hearts, and the warmth was overflowing.

At noon, Quack's loud laughter came from outside, and before anyone arrived, he didn't have to look up to see that it was Kang Saburo who had arrived. Mu Qing pointed in the direction of the garden and smiled at Ah Liu: "Go and let them get ready, the weather is excellent, and we will feast in the pavilion in the garden." I've been stuffy in the house for a month, and if I don't get close to each other, I'll miss out on the light. ”

This banquet is really a small gathering of relatives and friends, in addition to the main family, there are only Aliu Ada, Ye Na, and Kang Saburo, who are counted as the stewards of He Sui and say goodbye, eating and drinking happily, and Kang Saburo has always talked and laughed like a story, but it is also interesting.

Halfway through the banquet, the gate ushered in several internal supervisors, each holding a big red lacquered wooden box in their hands, a total of five people, standing at the gate to announce the full moon gift of the princess of Qin in the Chengqian Palace, the neighborhood will calm down the interest, and be aroused, pondering the number of roads in this strange mansion.

The things in the hands of the four inner supervisors in the head were all rewarded by Xiao Shiro, but in the end, the inner supervisor walked towards Yinghua with a smile, Yinghua took it suspiciously, and thanked him hastily.

After the inner eunuchs left, Mu Qing opened the wooden boxes and looked at them all the same, only one thing was placed in each wooden box, a Baizi porcelain vase with red gold filigree embedded in the secret glaze, a set of twisted gold collar bracelets, and then two delicate stubborn things. But it was the narrow wooden box in Yinghua's hand that made her more interested.

Yinghua reluctantly opened the wooden box in his hand, and a short sword lay horizontally in the brocade silk. Yinghua picked it up with her hand, the blade of the sword was light and thin, and the scabbard was decorated with delicate flowing cloud patterns, and she knew at a glance that it was a saber specially made for women.

"In these days, how can you send such a sharp weapon, and you want to give it to Yinghua in the name of it, what is the thought?" Ah Liu frowned, unhappy.

Du Ruhui stepped forward and took the short sword and looked at it a few times, raising his eyebrows, "This should be an old thing, it looks very familiar, it seems to be a ......" Where have you seen it, he really can't say, but he must have seen it.

A person flashed in Mu Qing's mind, pointed to the short sword and exclaimed: "This is the old thing of Queen Taimu, because she can't put it down, she often wears it by her side, so I have seen it a few times, and I heard Mrs. Dou mention that this is Erlang visited a famous craftsman to build it for her when she was young, and she is more and more cherished." ”

Yinghua held the short sword in his hand and looked at it over and over for a while, then looked up at Mu Qing and Du Ruhui blankly. No one knew what it meant, and at the end, Du Ruhui spread his palms and said to Mu Qing: "It's useless to guess, since you have obtained such a valuable object, it is reasonable, you should still take Yinghua into the palace tomorrow to thank you." ”

Mu Qing couldn't think of any other ideas, so he nodded in agreement.

"Now Da Lang and Erlang are living in the palace, Da Lang is in the East Palace, Erlang is in the Chengqian Hall in the west, after entering the imperial city, go straight to the west, don't go to the east." This strange reward made Du Ruhui still uneasy, and added a sentence.

It wasn't until noon the next day, when Mu Qing took Yinghua to see the eldest grandson in the Chengqian Palace, that he realized the taste of this reward. Although the Chengqian Hall is smaller than the East Palace, it is better to support the grass and trees, and the pavilions are scattered, and there is a scenery of its own. Mu Qing and Yinghua saluted the eldest grandson in the apse, and now it is different from the past, although it is always a little awkward, but the ceremony cannot be abolished.

The eldest grandson opened his mouth and habitually called her "Sister Gu", which startled Mu Qing, "Madame, don't call like this anymore, but Qi Niang can't stand it." ”

The eldest grandson smiled faintly, and said casually: "What is the matter, whether you can stand it, it has nothing to do with the title, only what Qi Niang thinks in her heart." ”

Mu Qing's heart tightened, he still didn't know what she meant, but one thing was very clear, there was a rustiness in her words, which made people faintly feel that it was not good. Maybe she has never had sincere kindness, in the past, when she was outside, Erlang treated her indifferently, and often did not take care of her, she had no choice but to need a support, an alliance. And she, Gu Qi Niang, was just fortunate enough to teach her to choose.

Now that she is in the imperial city, she has pinched Erlang's heart, although it is not a whole heart, but it is enough for her to rely on. Mu Qing guessed, but after she heard what the eldest grandson meant, she overturned most of them, where was the eldest grandson who pinched Erlang's heart, and it was clearly for Erlang to pinch her heart.

"Qi Niang, do you know that in more than ten days, the army will be drawn again?" The eldest grandson took a sip of tea, his tone was cold and indifferent, no longer as close as before, and obviously put on a condescending attitude.

Mu Qing opened his mouth and failed to say a word.

The eldest grandson said: "It seems that Mr. Du has not told you yet. Then I said it to Qi Niang. Probably I don't need to say that Qi Niang can guess that this time the troops were sent to suppress the Xue clan in Jincheng, the meaning of Erlang, it was better to meet the head-on attack from outside the chicken deer plug to the back of Jincheng County, he stationed troops to help the wind, Jincheng was empty, and he could forcibly occupy the Xue clan's lair. ”

Mu Qing hummed secretly in his heart, most of them were the words that Erlang intended to teach her, if there was no Erlang's instructions, how could the eldest grandson be willing to talk to her about this important matter. Needless to say, she had walked this road, and she must have wanted her to lead the way.

Leading the way is nothing to her, but she knows that if she tells Du Ruhui about this, he will not allow her to go, first, the journey with the army is difficult, and second, he is afraid that she will not want her to set foot in Jincheng again. complained that he wanted to use the reward to lure her around the bend, but he wanted to bypass Du Ruhui and go straight to her.

Mu Qing put on a smiling face, pretending not to know her calculations, "If I ask when it will be opened, it will be regarded as leaking the military aircraft?" ”

"How could the military plane be leaked, I'm afraid that this time, Qi Niang will also have to accompany the army." The eldest grandson chuckled, as if the matter had already been decided.

The most unpleasant thing is the strange tone of yin and yang, Mu Qing's heart is depressed, and he still has a slight smile on his face, "I'm afraid that this matter is not up to Mrs. Wu, and it is more and more difficult for me to decide, but I have to approve the number." ”

"It's nature." The eldest grandson nodded, and put aside the words. His eyes wandered on Yinghua, looked at her for a while, and said with a smile: "Do you still like the short sword that they sent yesterday?" ”

Yinghua owes himself, "This sword is too valuable, Yinghua deserves it." ”

A sweet and greasy smile suddenly flashed on the face of the eldest grandson, and he turned to Mu Qing and changed back to his original title, "Sister Gu, somehow, I have always looked at Yinghua kindly, but I am not blessed, and Yinghua is unwilling to come in and accompany me." ”

Yinghua glanced at Mu Qing inexplicably, she watched the smile on Mu Qing's face gradually freeze, and slowly erase it, and she also knew in her heart that it was not good, the old words of the eldest grandson clan were mentioned again, and it must not be mentioned in vain.

Sure enough, she sighed to herself and smiled, "It's okay if you don't want to marry into my family." But...... This brings me to another matter. She unexpectedly changed her words, "Seeing that there are more female servants and maids in the palace, and the additional guards are all men, there are many inconveniences in coming, I am worried, I forgot that there is a ready-made one now, I heard Erlang say that Yinghua's skills are very good, it just so happens that I have a team of martial maids, or the old people left by Queen Taimu, why don't I ask the lord for Yinghua to come, lead the martial maids, replace those guards, and do it according to the rank of the fifth grade, how about it?" ”

Mu Qing secretly suppressed her anger in her heart, the reward was to bypass Du Ruhui to lure her forward, and the short sword was to remind her that Yinghua had become a bargaining chip in her hand, and if she didn't take the errand to lead the way, she would push Yinghua onto a road she didn't want to see.

It turns out that this strange reward actually means this. If this was just a small trick of the Changsun clan, Mu Qingshang would not have put it in his heart, but from this point of view, if it were not for Erlang's secret instructions, the Changsun clan would never have the courage to fiddle with the military aircraft. In this way, Yinghua cannot be left in Chang'an.

She smiled coldly, "It's a long way to go west, if Yinghua wants to stay in the palace and guard, who can protect me?" ”

The eldest grandson's face moved slightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or happy, and still said sweetly: "Then I have to work on Sister Gu's experience." ”

After thanking him again, Mu Qing stood up, took Yinghua to say goodbye, walked to the door, and was about to step out of the house, when the upright voice of the eldest grandson came from behind, "Mr. Du and Sister Gu's kindness, Erlang and I always remember." ”R1152
