Chapter 128: The Last Time
Mrs. Lan entered the door of the study, but saw her husband and her youngest son sitting and talking, seeing her come in, the big one got up to greet her, and the little one bowed down to say hello, she accepted her son's courtesy, and greeted the old man, and the family sat down separately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mrs. Lan will have a decision in her heart, and the first thing is to carefully look at the clothes of the father and son.
Lan Mingdong, who she saw first, was wearing a moon-white round-necked straight-sleeved robe, with a white jade belt around his waist, and the middle stitches were impartial, wearing a jade cicada on his left hand, a sachet on his right, and a set of silver in a small silver tube carved with a peach.
The neatly combed bun is wearing a white jade crown, holding a purple bamboo fan in his hand, and the three strands of long beard are also not messy.
This can be regarded as a little relieved, and it is okay to turn his face and look at his son again, the two of them are dressed similarly, the same robe, the same color moon white and light color, but Lan Hongsen's belt is jade inlaid with beads, and the jade pendant is a white jade double fish, with a set of white jade three things, the young man has red lips and white teeth, which will look also handsome and elegant, not losing to others.
The corners of Mrs. Lan's lips were curled, and she was extremely satisfied with her elegant husband and handsome son, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.
After nodding his head and expressing his affirmation, Yin Yin instructed his son a few words, "Today, I will go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion with you as a guest, and I must deal with everything mentally, don't say the wrong thing and make people laugh, but don't be clumsy, and show your ability to reveal and reveal it, so that people can not underestimate our family." ”
Lan Hongsen saw that his mother's words were quite plausible, and secretly thought in his heart, "My mother wants me to behave well, and she also wants me to be cautious and careful not to make mistakes, is it so high to leave a good impression in front of Xuanping Hou?" ”
"But in order to make a good impression, shouldn't you be humble and submissive? Xuanping Hou is also an elder, too flamboyant and high-profile, will he be disliked by the elders? ”
The more he thought about it, the more confused Lan Hongsen became, and he was a little confused, but looking at his mother's eyes full of anticipation, he couldn't say something disappointing, so he had to open his mouth and respond indiscriminately.
The mother and son were obviously not on the same line, but Lan Mingdong was amused, and nodded at his son and said: "Sen'er, you just need to take out your style of fighting Confucianism in Dayuan, but remember, everything must be done in moderation, don't make people think that you are too sharp and aggressive." ”
Lan Hongsen instinctively was a little in awe of his father, no matter what he thought in his heart, he bowed down first and answered, 'Yes.' ’
"Okay, you go to the Hanging Flower Gate first, see if Yu Lian is ready, ask him if the gift list and things can be checked, the first time you come to the door, don't make any jokes." Lan Mingdong knew that his wife had something to say to him, so he immediately sent his son away, "I'll talk to your mother for a few words, and I'll come in a while." ”
When Mrs. Lan saw that her son was gone, she put down the teacup in her hand and said with great worry: "Alas, it is said that heroes love beauties since ancient times, but in fact, how can beauties not love heroes?" ”
Although she said that she was her own daughter, she didn't mean Liang Wenyu.
This was originally a double beauty in the capital, and her reputation was greater than that of Mrs. Lan, and everyone thought that this person would either enter the palace to accompany the king or be a princess, but who would have thought that Liang Wenyu would marry from the prosperous capital to the bitter cold West?
Of course, it is a royal marriage, and it is difficult to disobey the holy order, but looking at Mu Lingxuan now, it is not difficult to imagine his father's dazzling demeanor back then, such a heroic hero, no wonder Liang Wenyu married willingly.
Mrs. Lan said something from her heart, and Lan Mingdong understood everything.
didn't think there was anything wrong, but chuckled lightly: "My Lan Mingdong's daughter, really has a good eye." ”
Mrs. Lan couldn't help but glared at him, and said angrily: "You are now an official demoted to the third level, but the third-grade mansion Yin, our family Qingqing was also divorced by the Li family, you say, no matter how you look at it, it is also our family's Qinqing......"
Her own daughter is not worthy of others, and she can't say it when she kills Mrs. Lan, so she can only sigh deeply, frowning and not worrying.
Lan Mingdong didn't care about these at all, walked to his wife's side, and said softly: "Your lord and I used to be the prime minister, besides, my lord I am not old, and I have not lost my holy favor, what will happen in the future, then I can't tell." ”
"Besides, why did the Li family divorce our family in the first place? You can say it clearly to Mrs. Xuanping Hou, let her judge for herself, who is right and who is wrong in this matter. ”
"In my opinion, as long as the two children are interested in each other, the family is not the most important, and if you want to come to Xuanpinghou to dominate the West for many years, you are not that pedantic villain."
What Lan Mingdong said was too big, how did he know that Mu Detai was still the person who valued the family the most?
It's just that this time things have all happened together, first the eldest son made a big mistake, and Mu Lingxuan grabbed the handle tightly, so that he, the old man, was caught in the middle, and he was in a dilemma.
And Mu Lingxuan's original unruly attitude also underwent earth-shaking changes at this time, which softened Mu Deqi to a great extent, allowing him to calm down and listen to his son.
In addition, there is also the person who is hidden behind the prince of Qi, who has become the ultimate weight, even if Mu Detai is still unwilling in his heart, at least he didn't say anything to death, and promised to give the Lan family a chance.
Thinking about this, it's really quite mysterious, Lan Mingdong is already amazingly talented, and he once stood in a high position above 10,000 people under that person, if he knew that Mu De Da couldn't look down on their family from the bottom of his heart, how could he make a shameful thing of sticking a hot face to someone's cold ass?
Therefore, it is also thanks to the fact that these are things hidden in the shadows, and Lan Mingdong doesn't know anything about it.
Listening to her master's words, Mrs. Lan felt very reasonable, nodded again and again, and couldn't help but sigh, "I hope that as the master said, that Xuanping Hou is an enlightened and generous person, don't do that thing to beat mandarin ducks." ”
The couple suffered from gains and losses here, but they didn't know that their future son-in-law was really too capable, and he actually paved the road in advance, just waiting for their grandfather to shine today and completely take down Mu Dedi!
Because Mu Detai is not only the Marquis of Xuanping, but also the governor of Zhenxi - Lan Mingdong's current boss, this boss is invited, how can he be slow?
He didn't dare to waste time, he hurriedly comforted his wife a few words, and then took his son, one on horseback, and one on a sedan chair to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Over there, because of the candidate for the wife of the son-in-law, Mu Detai also cheered up a thousand spirits, if he wanted to meet the former left minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the wife of the prince of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, it was a major matter related to the next generation of the helm of the Hou Mansion, how could he ignore it?
This one got up early, dressed neatly under Hanyue's service, and deliberately stood in front of his wife's dressing mirror, which was as tall as one person, and took a serious look.
I saw the middle-aged man in the mirror who was not angry but mighty, wearing a purple gold beaded crown, a royal blue square-necked robe, and an obsidian belt inlaid with white jade pearls around his waist, simple and crisp, low-key and graceful, not contemptuous, nor too luxurious.
Mu Dekui nodded, pointed to a piece of green jade jade of the four gentlemen, and pointed to a set of ivory carved cylinders of gold seven pieces, worn around the waist, even if it was cleaned up.
After leaving the bedroom and having breakfast with his wife in the west room, he went to the study without hurrying.
Mu Detai walked while thinking about the news about Lan Mingdong that he saw yesterday, and he also knew that this Lan Zuoxiang was a practical, unmoderate, and quite competent minister.
Unexpectedly, after reading the dense dozen pieces of paper, he couldn't help but have a great curiosity about this man who walked from the bottom step by step to the nearest place to the saint.
This person's mother came out of the family of a businessman, and his father was just a little talented, but after high school, the carp jumped into the dragon gate and came to a gorgeous transformation.
You must know that the ancestors of the Mu family are the existence of accompanying the Holy Ancestor to fight the world, and the Mu family has stood in the West for more than a hundred years, and Mu Detai has already seen many of the top three who were originally glorious, and finally they were all annihilated in the cruel reality.
Some champions can only spend their lives in the Hanlin Academy.
But Lan Mingdong was arrested by Chongbei Houbang, and added a handful of dry wood to his already prosperous reputation, and he burned all the way to the holy car.
At that time, he was in a special period of cultivating his henchmen, and when he saw that Lan Mingdong was young and promising, upright but not pedantic, honest but not old-fashioned, he had a heart of love for talent, and spent a lot of effort to cultivate.
It took 20 years before and after, and the ups and downs experienced were incomprehensible.
Don't look at the fact that he is now being affected by his unenlightened family, it is what Mu Lingxuan said, just looking at the Holy Lord's holy favor for this person, it may be the Minister of Supervision left by the Holy Lord for the new emperor!
Instead, he put away some of his initial contempt.
"Who is it? Sneaky, be careful that the head on the item is not guaranteed. "I walked well, but I heard a sudden scolding from the little guy behind me, "Don't come out quickly." ”
Mu Detai immediately stepped down, and in front of and behind him, he was protected by four small groups.
I saw a thin figure from behind the redbud tree in front of him, trembling and trembling.
"Master Hou, it's a concubine!" The person who came was dressed in white, and there was no decoration on his body, and he staggered, and knelt down at Mu Detai's feet.
"Yes...... Bai's? Mu Dedi asked incredulously.
It's not that he can't recognize the person next to him, it's really the change of the Bai family, it's too big, too big.
Although this person is only five or six years younger than Liang Wenyu, because of his tender face and petite person, he has always been like a young woman in her thirties.
Graceful, shy before speaking, she is really a delicate and beautiful, and she is a beautiful woman who is loved.
But look at the emaciated figure in front of him, who can't afford to prostrate and cry bitterly, a black hair has already risen to silver threads, and the face that flashed briefly because of the bow is even more chilling.
The originally bright and silky apricot eyes fell into a pair of deep pits, and the originally fair and tender skin fell into the cheeks.
"Pink Skull!" In Mu Detai's mind, these four words flashed in an instant.
"What's going on?" In the end, it was also a woman who had been with him for decades, and Mu Detai's unbearable feelings suddenly poured out, "Madame said that you are sick and can't take care of it well, what did you do when you ran out?" ”
"What if it gets worse, you are really doing it yourself!"
"Master Hou, it's the concubine's body that is not angry, and it is a big mistake for you and your wife to be annoyed." Bai sobbed: "People who are seriously ill should be avoided, but they can ......"
She couldn't help but fall to the ground and cry bitterly, struggling to say, "But the concubine really can't rest assured that the uncle who is not angry!" ”
"He's confused, but everything he does is for you!"
Don't look at Bai's beauty now, she looks like a person is not a person, a ghost is not a ghost, but she has lived for this man all her life, knows what kind of words can move him the most, and also understands what kind of posture can arouse his pity more.
Before, she didn't have hatred, Madame was ruthless, and used the medicine of the tiger and wolf to destroy her body and her face, but this time, she felt lucky.
At this time, the more Hou Ye can pity himself, and his son, who was unlucky at that time, can have a greater hope of having a way to live!
Mu De was stunned for a while when he heard this, and he had to say that Bai's words stabbed him in the soft underbelly at once.
Although he and his wife are in love, God tricked him, and he has only had his only son-in-law after more than 20 years of marriage.
So, in those twenty years of hope, disappointment, hope, and disappointment, Mu Yishan, the eldest son, inevitably became the existence of his father-son affection.
Bai is right, why did Mu Yishan want Mu Lingxuan to die again and again, openly and secretly?
Of course, it is to hold the authority, but it cannot be denied that this child is blaming him, blaming him for giving boundless fatherly love first, and then taking everything back for the sake of a hairy boy who has been speaking out sixteen years late?
Mu Yishan respects his father and doesn't dare to disobey or be unfilial, so he transferred all his anger and hatred to Mu Lingxuan.
The brothers have come to this point, is it not the responsibility of the father?
Mu Detai is cold-blooded and ruthless on the battlefield, killing people without blinking, but he cares and cherishes his family.
That's why he knew that Mu Yishan had committed a capital crime, and he wanted his sister-in-law to let his brother live.
After a long time, I heard Mu De sigh quietly, "Alas, that's it, you go back to the yard first, let the maids clean up for Yi'er, and in a few days, I will let him go to the Nanshan Ancient Forest Garden to calm down." ”
This is a made up mind, to agree to Mu Lingxuan's conditions, marry the Lan family, and exchange the life of the eldest son.
Looking at Bai's gratitude to Dade, kowtowing and leaving with joy and inexplicably, Mu De looked at the desolate back, and said softly: "This time, even if I pay back everything I owe to your mother and son......"
"In the future, I will live in peace, don't make trouble......"
