Chapter 123, Surprise
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Nangong Shumo suddenly visited the shogunate with a love token. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Chenxue was moved by his true feelings, although he knew that the future would be difficult and life and death were unpredictable, but he still accepted the token, which can be regarded as determining the relationship between the two.
Mu Chenxue, who had not slept all night, participated in the crown ceremony of Mu Yu and Cao Yangming with his family. Although Cao Yangming was not a member of the shogunate, he lived in the shogunate. The eldest lord saw the face of the eldest lady, and also allowed him to salute in the shogunate ancestral hall, which finally saved a trace of face for the Fang family's mother and son.
The crown ceremony is very grand, first the first dress, and then three crowns, the rejector, the guest, and the praiser are not less, which shows the importance that Mu Qian attaches to Mu Yu's nephew. The second old man and the second lady Liang watched their sons crowned one by one under the praise of the praisers, with a happy and relieved face. Fang is also very happy, her son has finally grown up, as long as she can get a reputation in the exam this year, she will no longer have to look at people's faces to live under the fence.
How many people in the room sincerely blessed these two young people who saluted, but I am afraid that except for their parents, most of the others came to watch the play! Mu Chenxue glanced at his younger brother beside him, Mu Chenfeng's eyes lit up, and he obviously had an incomparable vision for growing up.
"Did the ninth brother prepare a gift for the second cousin?" Lining that everyone didn't pay attention, Mu Chenxue asked his younger brother in a suppressed voice.
"I prepared it, but I only prepared a wolf pen, I wonder if the second cousin will like it?" There are not many cases in the month of Muchen Peak, but he is also doing his best, but he is worried that Mu Yu will dislike it.
"The second cousin will like it!" Since the last incident, Mu Chenxue and Mu Yu have had little contact, but she can feel that Mu Yu is humble and polite, and acts above board, and will not care about these small things between brothers. And with the monthly example of Muchen Peak, it is already a heavy gift to be able to buy a wolf pen of a few taels of silver to give to him.
After the crown ceremony, the shogunate held a banquet to entertain all the guests who came to watch the ceremony. After the dismissal, Chen Feng returned to the backyard with a smile on his face.
"Fifth sister, the second cousin really likes the wolf pen I gave him!" Mu Chenxue touched her brother's hair bag, if there was anyone in this family who could give her a little happiness, it would be only this younger brother. She followed her sisters today and also gave gifts to Mu Yu and Cao Yangming, after all, they were cousins and cousins. Mu Yu happily took it, but it was Cao Yangming, who looked unimpressed.
For Cao Yangming's attitude, Mu Chenxue didn't pay attention to it at all, when she chose a gift, she was biased in her selfishness, and chose a Duan inkstone worth dozens of taels of silver for Mu Yu, and Cao Yangming chose just an ordinary paper fan.
She is not the only one who is selfish, even the second sister and the third sister are also close and different. Even the eldest young master, Mu Peng, and Starling are the same. For this matter, Fang Clan was resentful, but he didn't want to say anything. However, the Liang family is proud, the son can win the attention of all brothers and sisters, and rely on each other in the future, even if the achievement is not high, at least he can ensure that the family has food and clothing.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in addition to visiting relatives and friends to greet each other's New Year, the morning snow was idle. This kind of good thing of going through the motions to make face, the eldest lady will never let the concubines come out. She's also happy to be idle. As for whether the second sister and the third sister were the same as she thought, she didn't bother to pay attention to it.
After the first day of the new year, the second day of the Lunar New Year to welcome the son-in-law, the eldest lady and the eldest lord want to take their children and souvenirs back to their parents' home.
The second sister and the third sister were full of joy, but it was the sisters and brothers of Mu Chenxue with a sad face. Early in the morning, when Morning Snow went to the inner courtyard to ask for peace, he deduced that he had suffered some wind yesterday and was unwell, and he was afraid that he would come to the door with illness and lose his manners. The eldest lady was overjoyed, she didn't like the concubines to follow, since the fifth sister was unwell, she just took advantage of her wishes. This happiness excused the ninth brother to stay.
Others didn't think anything, but the second sister glanced at Mu Chenxue, she always felt that this sister seemed to have countless things on her mind, but she was about to get married, so she naturally didn't want to take care of the affairs of the house anymore. The fourth sister and the third sister are proud, every time they return to Chengfu, their grandmothers and aunts will give them a lot of good things, and if the fifth sister doesn't go, there is naturally nothing. Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but smile even more.
And as soon as Brother Jiu'er heard that he didn't need to go to Cheng's Mansion, not only did he not like it, but he even almost laughed happily, if it wasn't for Mu Chenxue glaring at him, he was afraid that the eldest lady would have looked at it.
When the eldest lady left the mansion, Mu Chenxue ordered Fanghua to lock the courtyard door, stayed in the mansion and watched, and he and the ninth brother pulled Aunt Cheng out of the back corner door of the mansion.
"Fifth sister, let go, what is this for? If the eldest lady knows about this, even if it is the New Year, she will not let us go! Aunt Cheng was dragged out of the shogunate by her son and daughter, and her legs were shaking with fright.
"Don't be afraid, mother, I've arranged everything, we'll be out of the house for only a few hours, and we'll be back soon!" didn't explain much to his mother, went out of the house and got into Tong Jiang's carriage directly, and went straight out of the city.
"Nurse, you don't help me persuade me, why are you messing around with them!" Aunt Cheng was shocked and scared, but the nurse who had always helped her was uncharacteristically silent and just laughed today.
"Mother, now that you're out, don't think about it. Jiang's mother said that her mother personally entered the shogunate, except for following the eldest lady out, she has not come out by herself, so it is better to go out this time, it is better for our family to come out to relax! Mu Chenxue didn't want to scare her mother, she just wanted to surprise her. And Mu Chenfeng also persuaded from the side, with two children by her side, although Aunt Cheng was still worried, she didn't want to disappoint her children.
After walking out of the city for another quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped. Jiang's mother helped Aunt Cheng get out of the carriage, and Mu Chenxue helped her younger brother, and when everyone got out of the car, Tong Jiang took out a lot of cages and sacks from behind the car.
"What is this?" Looking at the unfamiliar nunnery in front of her, Aunt Cheng felt a little nervous in her heart. Although she has never been here, she often hears Jiang's mother talk about it.
"Mother, let's come to see grandma together as a family!" Mu Chenxue and Mu Chenfeng said in unison, they have been planning for so long, just to be able to come to see grandma with their mother on the second day of the Lunar New Year. The old lady sitting in Cheng's mansion is not their grandmother, since today is the day when the married daughter returns to the door, then what they want to see is naturally their own grandmother, Aunt Cheng's mother-in-law.
Aunt Cheng stood at the door of the nunnery, with a pair of teary eyes, unable to believe all this in front of her. Since she married into the shogunate, she has never seen her mother's face. When the days were still alive in the past, Aunt Cheng asked Jiang's mother to send some gifts to her mother. Later, because her life became more and more difficult, she even sold the shop that her mother gave her, and she never sent anything to the nunnery again.
Mu Chenxue stood at the door of the nunnery, looked left and right, the nunnery was not big, almost the size of a small courtyard. Seeing that the mother just stood and wept, she motioned to Tong Jiang to knock on the door. (To be continued.) )
