Chapter 209, Reunion
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Nangong Shumo couldn't bear the lovesickness, and came to see the morning snow after the curfew. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two enjoyed a time together for more than an hour.
Early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Chenxue got up and began to prepare, which was the first time Nangong Shumo had a reunion dinner with her and her family. For Mu Chenxue, who lacks the warmth of family, such a time is the most cherished.
Baoru looked at Miss Mu, who was busy in the kitchen, and couldn't help but smile on her face, "The master is blessed, Miss Mu hasn't cooked in person for a long time!" "Since moving out of the shogunate, Makuchenxue has been busy with shops and granges most of the time, except for occasionally making snacks for the family.
After being reminded by Baoru, Mu Chenxue herself also felt that it had been a long time since she had cooked properly. Looking up at Baoru and smiling, "If someone can help me with outside affairs, I would be willing to stay in the house every day to wash my hands and make soup, and be a comfortable lady!" ”
"After a while, Miss Mu marries the master, and the master must be reluctant to let you tired, I'm afraid that even this kitchen won't let you in!" Baoru said that her face was happy, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart that Miss Mu could become a young lady.
"You, you're getting poorer and poorer, don't you help me cut the meat, make dumplings at night!" Mu Chenxue glared at Baoru a little embarrassed, and diverted the words. The more Baoru talked about it, the happier it became, but it didn't delay the work in hand. The two of them talked and laughed and followed a few cooks to be busy in the kitchen for a morning. As noon approached, there was a sound of carriages and horses outside the hospital.
Tong Jiang took his wife and children to live in the courtyard of Mu Chenxue yesterday, and according to the instructions of Miss Five, he stayed here to celebrate the holiday with Jiang's mother. He has really learned a lot from Mu Chenxue in the past few years, and now he is a big shopkeeper who can hold up the scene.
The nursing home guarding the door came to report, saying that a guest came to the door with a car of festival gifts, but he refused to report his name, and only asked to invite Miss Wu to come out in person to receive the gift. Tong Jiang went out to take a look first, and there was no sign of the mansion on the horse, but it seemed that the person was dressed in a muslin short coat, and it should be the groom of a large family. I couldn't figure out the other party's origins, so I had to go into the inner courtyard to invite Miss Five.
"Miss Maku, I'm afraid that the prince of the county has sent someone to give gifts!" Baoru frowned after hearing this, and whispered in her ear to remind Miss Maku.
"Yes or no, you can know if you see it, reach out and don't call the giver, people are also kind, accept the gift first!" If Nangong Xun really gave a big gift, it shouldn't be so blatant, so Mu Chenxue didn't feel nervous when she heard Tong Jiang's report.
When I got out of the mansion, I saw the horseman walking a few steps in front of Mu Chenxue, and gave her a big gift before getting up, "Miss Mu, the prince of the county ordered his subordinates to send this car to the mansion for you, this is the gift list, please count!" "The person who came was not a coachman, but a guard under Qingyun. It can be seen that Nangong Xun is still very concerned about the matter of Mu Chenxue.
"Yes, please convey your thanks on my behalf!" Mu Chenxue returned the salute, raised his hand to take the gift list, handed it to Tong Jiang without looking at it, and asked him to take a few people to unload the car.
"I have a return gift here, and I have to trouble you to help transfer it to the prince of the county!" He took a brocade box wrapped in cloth from Baoru and handed it to the visitor.
"Miss Huimu, your subordinates are only ordered to give gifts, so your subordinates have no right to transfer them on your behalf!" The guard had already been ordered, so he did not dare to accept the return gift.
Mu Chenxue didn't force it, after all, these subordinates all acted according to orders, and there was no need to embarrass them. handed the brocade box to Baoru again, and waited for Tong Jiang to unload the things, and then rewarded the guard and returned to the inner courtyard.
"Miss Maku, the prince of the county really sent a lot of good things, but why are they all medicinal herbs?" Usually when giving gifts, some gold and jade cloth will be given, but Nangong Xun is good, and he directly sent a cart of good medicinal materials to Mu Chenxue.
Mu Chenxue didn't pay attention to these rituals, but when she heard that they were medicinal herbs, she took the gift list and looked at it carefully. The more she looked at the smile on her face, the bigger the smile on her face, Baoru couldn't help but feel nervous for her master, Miss Mu wouldn't be moved by the festival of this car, right?
These medicinal materials, although they can be bought in the pharmacy, but the prices are very high, even Mu Chenxue is only a little prepared here, and now with these, even if everyone in the house is sick, she is not worried about the lack of medicine. And people who understand medicine have a preference for medicinal materials, if Nangong Xun sent some mundane things, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to look at them. But she couldn't put down this medicinal material, and even personally selected it and stored it in her private vault.
Baoru didn't like it, the master also sent a festival gift a year ago, although Miss Mu also liked it, but she didn't care like this, now seeing that Miss Mu cares so much about the gift of the county prince, she is inevitably a little anxious.
"Okay Baoru, I like these gifts, and I don't value the person who gives them. It's because they're all precious herbs. You know that I understand medicine, and doctors have an obsession with medicinal herbs. And today is the Chinese New Year, you can't pout a mouth anymore! Hearing Miss Mu say this, Baoru felt better in her heart. But for the prince of the county to know the mind of the young lady so much, she still felt nervous for the master. I'm afraid that before Miss Maku enters the door, someone will snatch her away.
So without waiting for Mu Chenxue's instructions, he sent someone to deliver the news to the master. Nangong Shumo, who got the letter, looked calm, and did not see a trace of nervousness. touched the brocade box on the bookcase with his hand, this box contained the gift he wanted to give to Mu Chenxue, and the car he sent before was just some ordinary things.
At night, not long after the city gate was closed, Nangong Shumo brought two guards to the mansion of Mu Chenxue. Mu Chenxue only left Feng Wu by Nangong Shumo's side, and handed over another guard to Tong Jiang to settle down. Only then did he take Nangong Shumo into the inner courtyard to see his grandmother and mother-in-law.
"Mr. Feng is young, so he left his hometown background to come to Youzhou to do business, but the house is a big business family in the capital?" Ancient and modern times are the same, when the mother sees the opposite sex brought back by her daughter, she cares not about her background or family background. Aunt Cheng was already selfish, so after chatting a few words, she led the conversation to this.
The old lady was also very concerned, so she put down the teacup and looked up to listen. Nangong Shumo's face was slightly red, after all, his net worth background was fabricated, and it was okay to deceive outsiders. But he cared about the snow, so he didn't want to lie to her family. But it can be hindered by the situation, so this lie must be rounded.
Mu Chenxue saw that Nangong Shumo was a little embarrassed, and naturally knew what he was thinking, so she pulled her mother to be coquettish, "Mother, you see that you are embarrassed to ask Brother Feng, people just came to the house, you can check people's household books!" Seeing her daughter defending this person so much, Aunt Cheng was both happy and worried.
If the second young master of Naqing Wangfu does not die, even if his daughter likes this person, she will not be able to marry. But she can see that this person is very good to her daughter, if the two can really become a couple, they will definitely live a harmonious life in the future. The old lady also sighed in her heart, "It's really a creation and a trick!" ”
If Nangong Shumo knew that Mu Chenxue's family was looking forward to his death, I don't know if he would still laugh. (To be continued.) )
