Chapter Ninety-Three: Interviews
Thinking of this, Xue Rulan's originally calm mood finally rippled with anxiety. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just looked at Liang Wenyu and Mu Bingyuan sisters, getting along happily, and she still felt like it in her heart.
But this will be bent on meeting Mu Lingxuan in his heart, and he will inevitably feel irritable.
Early this morning, Liang Wenyu heard from her son, who came to ask for peace, and told her some little secrets.
In her heart, she will know like a mirror why Xue Rulan can't sit still.
Liang Wenyu has always listened carefully to what her son said, and for this incident, she actually supports the road of joining forces with Xue Rulan.
In the final analysis, she still has Xuanpinghou as her husband in her heart, thinking in her heart that even if she disposes of the black-hearted mother and son of the Bai family and Mu Yishan, she can leave Xue Rulan and her three sisters-in-law and daughter-in-law behind, at least let these people have a good end, Mu Dedi sees his grandson, his granddaughter is doing well, and he can feel more comfortable, right?
Besides, the battle for the title, whether in the capital or in Pingjing, is a good show to be staged when the Hou Mansion, the Duke Mansion, and even the Royal Mansion change masters.
As long as the final victory is on his own side and his son's side, then fewer people will die and some people will suffer, which can be regarded as a blessing for their children and grandchildren.
Therefore, today Xue Rulan came with a pair of daughters to show her goodwill, and Liang Wenyu raised her hand to catch it.
Seeing that Xue Rulan was obviously uneasy, she smiled and said to the eldest daughter-in-law: "Eldest daughter-in-law, if you have something, you can go and get busy, Sister Yuan and Sister Tong will stay and talk to me to relieve their boredom,"
"Oh, don't you dare, Sister Tong is very noisy, and it won't be good to disturb your afternoon sleep in a while, I'll let them send them back to Yufang Courtyard." Xue Rulan This belongs to accepting it when she sees it, and she thinks it's better to take it step by step.
Liang Wenyu waved her hand, "I think Sister Tong is very well-behaved, she just said that the begonia flowers on my handkerchief are beautiful, and I want to learn embroidery from Hanxiu." ”
"If I'm sleepy for a while, I'll let them serve and the two sisters will sleep in the blue yarn cupboard."
This is really not Liang Wenyu's deliberate show of favor or anything.
In fact, she has a wound in her heart that cannot be touched, that is, her third daughter Mu Yunji, who was sick in the womb, and her health has been poor since she was a child, because she was eighteen years old when she got married.
The child is weak, and the mother is worried, who knows that Mu Yunji's body is weak and her temperament is so strong, she is stunned that she has taken a fancy to the Jiangnan students studying in Decai Academy.
I didn't expect to marry thousands of miles away, but I couldn't conceive a child for six or seven years, I don't know how many medicines I took, how many gods I worshipped, and I was pregnant at the age of twenty-five.
The hard-working little baby is about the same age as Mu Bingtong, Liang Wenyu didn't think about taking it back and raising it herself, but her aunt was stubborn, and said, "The daughter of the Su family, how can she grow up in the Mu family?!" ”
made her granddaughter six years old, she hadn't even seen her face, and she looked at Mu Bingtong in the past who was well-behaved and cute, and she was also a little empathetic.
Previously, Liang Wenyu was not too close to the child because of the Bai family's mother and son, but now, seeing that Xue Rulan was about to get on their boat, she was not hypocritical, and simply left the child by her side to relieve boredom and teasing.
In the final analysis, our Mrs. Xuanping Hou looks infinitely beautiful, but in her bones, she is still lonely......
Xue Rulan saw that her mother-in-law was sincere, so she didn't excuse herself, and told her two daughters to be obedient and not to mess with her grandmother, so she took Mingzhu to leave.
When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she sent the people around her back to Zifangyuan, and took only Mother Lu, Mingzhu and Man'er with her, and went straight to the direction of the front yard.
..................................
Xuanping Hou Mansion, Wutao Courtyard, West Wing Small Study.
Xuanping Hou Shizi is known as a civil and military all-rounder, so the three west wings of Wutao Courtyard have become Mu Lingxuan's study room for reading, writing, receiving subordinates and friends.
On the red carved wooden window, there is a large piece of white glass, which is expensive at a glance, and along the clear glass, the sunlight shines directly into the room without hindrance, making the study extraordinarily bright, the window is bright and clean, neat and atmospheric, and it makes people feel comfortable to look at.
Mu Lingxuan went to greet his mother early in the morning, and while reporting the news, he also accompanied his mother to breakfast.
Needless to say, lunch is more abundant than breakfast, but I don't know if it's because I eat alone and no one accompanies me, Mu Lingxuan feels that it doesn't taste as good as breakfast.
After dinner, he used a silver needle in front of the Ming Dynasty, and then Shi Shiran walked from the east resting place, through the small living room, to the west study.
Sitting behind the mahogany carved bookcase, the beautifully made, smooth lines of the Nanmu large circle chair, the circle chair is padded with ice silk brocade cushions, whether sitting or leaning, it is extremely comfortable.
I saw a cup of tea in front of him, and a book of soldiers in his hand, in this bookish room, it was really like a still 'reading map'.
But if you look at it carefully for a while, you will find that the tea in front of Mu Lingxuan has not moved for a long time, and the military book in his hand has not turned a page for a long time.
Don't look at Mu Ren's side, it seems that only Mu Ming, who has a broken arm, is guarding him, but in fact, secretly, all around his small courtyard are under the strict monitoring of the secret word door.
And Xue Rulan's late-night visit last night naturally couldn't hide Mu Lingxuan's ears and eyes, and he really didn't expect that when he went down to the net to catch shrimp, he would catch such an unexpected big fish!
Regarding the sister-in-law and the eldest brother's long-term entourage in private, Mu Lingxuan is really not interested at all.
Who let Mu Yishan, the eldest brother, not even have the most basic face affection for him?
In addition to being in front of Xuanping Hou, because he would give a smiling face because he took into account Mu Dedi's opinion, usually, even in front of Xuanping Hou's wife Liang Wenyu, he would not pretend to be a good brother with Mu Lingxuan.
For the position of this marquis, Mu Yishan has long hated Mu Lingxuan, the fourth brother, and there is actually no family affection between the two brothers for a long time, but an endless death.
Yes, after getting this exciting news, Mu Lingxuan not only didn't feel angry, but when he saw that his sworn enemy was brought a green hat by his most trusted henchman, he secretly poked in his heart, and he actually felt an uncontrollable sense of comfort.
In addition to being happy, I was interested in listening to this daring sister-in-law who dared to betray Mu Yishan, what did she have to tell her in person.
If she wants to save her lover's life, then, in such a situation, what kind of chips can she give?
No matter how capable Mu Ren is, he is just a dog by Mu Yishan's side, and it doesn't matter much whether he lives or dies, and it can't affect the overall situation.
If the price Xue Rulan gave today was high enough, Mu Lingxuan wouldn't mind leaving a way for this person to live.
Thinking about it, the maid outside came in and curtsied, "Lord Shizi, the eldest grandmother is here, please accompany her to serve tea in the Xiaohua Hall, do you think you are moving to the Xiaohua Hall?" Or is the servant going to ask the grandmother to come over? ”
Mu Lingxuan put the book in his hand upside down on the bookcase, picked up the tea, felt the temperature of the teacup, put the teacup back again, and ordered very casually, "Invite my sister-in-law to come over and talk, and let Hanwen come in and serve." ”
After speaking, he ordered the tea cup under his hand, "The tea is cold, change the hot one." ”
Baolan bent his knees, stepped forward and went out with cold tea, and after a while, Han Wen, who received the order, entered the door first, and after saying goodbye, this person stood behind Mu Lingxuan, lowered his eyebrows, and looked very docile.
Xue Rulan also entered the house after a while, Mu Lingxuan stood up and saluted her sister-in-law, and invited the Xue family's concubine to sit on the official hat chair on the left, but she did not move to sit opposite, but sat firmly in the main seat without moving.
Cao Lu and Bao Lan quickly served tea and snacks with their hands and feet, then bent their knees and retreated, waiting for the summons not far from the door.
Xue Rulan glanced at the Chinese language behind Mu Lingxuan, and understood in her heart that having such a person meant to avoid suspicion.
didn't ask much, picked up the saucer and took a sip of hot tea, Baolan brewed the tribute tea that Mu Lingxuan brought back from the capital, and she praised it sincerely.
"This tea is a royal gift, I didn't bring back a lot, most of them were sent to my parents, I have limited here, but since my sister-in-law likes it, I will let Baolan wrap you a tael after a while, and let the maid make a product in your spare time, which is still good." Mu Lingxuan covered the tea with a floating tea, his eyes moved with the ups and downs of the tea leaves, not arrogant or impatient, looking like an old god.
Xue Rulan has decided to join forces with Mu Lingxuan, even if she puts her face up, she doesn't plan to ask for it at all, in the face of Mu Lingxuan's kindness, she is not hypocritical, and thanked with a smile: "That relationship is good, sister-in-law loves tea, so I won't be polite to you." ”
Immediately afterwards, she remembered and seemed to say, "That day, Mrs. Lan brought Miss Lan Wu and Miss Hu Jia to visit, and during the conversation, sister-in-law, I saw that Miss Wu was also a tea lover, Lord Shizi, I don't know such a good tea, did you send her a copy?" ”
"What do you think my sister-in-law will say?" Mu Lingxuan was immediately angry when he heard this, "If you just use Miss Lan to threaten this world, then you can go out and go back to Zifang Courtyard now." ”
"Huh." When Xue Rulan saw her words, she caused the prince to change his face, and she was relieved, and she covered her lips with a handkerchief and giggled, "Oh, Shizi, you have misunderstood, your eldest brother is sixteen years older than you, and he is not your opponent, just ask my sister-in-law, how dare I dare to threaten you?" ”
Mu Lingxuan felt helpless about his uncontrollable gaffe once he endangered Lan Jiayin, but there was no way, who made him care too much about this little girl?
As soon as she heard that Xue Rulan might use Lan Jiayin as a pawn, her anger immediately erupted.
"Sister-in-law has something to say, you might as well say it clearly, I just got the latest news here, my father and his old man will be back in a few days, and my eldest brother is also with him this time."
"I'm still too busy to get around with the return of the patrol army, so I don't have time to go around in circles with you." Mu Lingxuan was lazy and grinding, so he simply picked out the words clearly.
Xue Rulan saw that Mu Lingxuan's face was dark, but she was not in a hurry, she was very calm, and she didn't seem to be worried about the news that her father-in-law and husband would return on the same day.
She sniffed the fragrance of the tea, looked at the shape of the tea carefully, and asked lightly, "The prince is sixteen this year, right?" ”
"At this age, my father-in-law asked for a royal gift from the Holy Emperor in the Golden Palace, and came to Pingjing from the capital to marry his mother-in-law."
"What about you?"
"Do you want to follow the example of the two elders back then, and give good things this year?"
Mu Lingxuan's heart jumped when he heard the ban, he had discussed with his mother in private several times recently, how to make his own Lao Tzu nod and agree, the Mu family and the Lan family, this marriage is not the right one?
Thinking about it, according to Xuanping Hou's temperament, even if the mother and son asked together, it would be difficult for Mu Houye, who took the family's views very seriously, to marry the Lan family willingly.
And now it's not just a matter of getting married, how to use Mu Yishan's murder of his brother and his ill intentions to win the greatest benefits is even more imminent.
Although Mu Lingxuan is more focused on Lan Jiayin, reason told him that if he didn't kill this ill-intentioned big brother, even if Lan Jiayin married in the future, he would have to be unlucky with him.
Therefore, in the end, he still chose to put Mu Yishan's matter in front, and when he finished dealing with this matter, he went all out to ask his father to agree to go to the Lan family to ask for marriage!
But now, Xue Rulan actually mentioned this topic, could it be that she has any different thoughts on this matter?
"Please also ask my sister-in-law to make it clear." Unconsciously, Mu Lingxuan's tone was better.
Xue Rulan was very satisfied with this, and said lightly: "If sister-in-law has a way to make your wish come true, how can you thank my sister-in-law?" ”
Mu Lingxuan's eyes were like black gems, and he turned around, and said lightly, "Sister-in-law, you have been married into our Mu family for more than ten years, and you really grew up watching your younger brother grow up, you should know my temper, I have never seen rabbits and eagles." ”
"You might as well talk about what you can do first, if this method can really be done, it is not whimsical, it is not sitting on the ground, then I will never be stingy with the people who help me."
"What's more, it's still your own people?"
In a word, the bottom line is completely thrown.
Mu Lingxuan can help Mu Ren, and he can also listen to Xue Rulan's advice, but all this is built on the words 'own people'.
This also means that Xue Rulan must throw herself into Mu Lingxuan's camp, and at the same time, it also means that Xue Rulan must betray her husband, Mu Yishan!
In these two matters, Xue Rulan had already made up her mind, otherwise she wouldn't be here, wouldn't she?
After saying this, after going around in circles for a long time, isn't Xue Rulan just waiting for Mu Lingxuan's words?
