Chapter 8: Uncle's Family

ps: In order to add more, I coded more than 9,000 words yesterday, and I deeply felt that I had potential......

There have been a lot of hot topics in the capital recently, and the rumors that the eldest princess of Qingping was a concubine have just subsided, and the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion has changed its owner again, and the eighteen-year-old Feng Mingxiang has become the new Marquis of Weiyuan.

Not only that, but the current Marquis of Weiyuan also got the emperor's blue eyes for some reason, and gave an errand for the avant-garde Zhenfu Division of the government army.

Hearing this news, I don't know how many noble children were so jealous that their eyes turned green.

Although it is only an errand from the fifth grade, everyone knows that since entering the Twelve Guards, there will often be opportunities to show their faces in front of the emperor, and they have a throne in their bodies, so it will not be a smooth road in the future?

People are still talking about another young marquis of Weiyuan Mansion, and there is another big incident in Weiyuan Mansion.

Two days after Feng Mingxiang took over the title, some people claimed to have seen Feng Lin, who had just become the old lady of the Hou Mansion, in Huangjue Temple, and he was dressed as a layman, looking like he was going to cultivate in Huangjue Temple for a long time.

This undoubtedly shocked countless people.

Huangjue Temple is the royal temple of the emperor today, the legend is that the Dawu Dynasty was not built, when the emperor has not yet gained power, he was saved by the monks of the Huangjue Temple who were not famous at that time, and it was not only crowned as the royal temple after the emperor ascended the throne, but also spent a lot of silver to overhaul the Huangjue Temple, and there is now the Huangjue Temple with extraordinary style.

Of course, these are all off-topic.

The crux of the problem is that Fenglin is not confused, why does he want to accompany the Buddha for a long time? Could it be that he has suffered some blow that makes his heart like ashes and see through the red dust? Could it be that it was because he saw through the red dust that he would give up the throne to Feng Mingxiang early?

For a while, many people speculated about what kind of blow Fenglin suffered to be like this, and some people even fought for it.

……

The surprise of everyone outside the Hou Mansion could not affect Mu Qingwan and Feng Zhige in the Hou Mansion.

What happened in the Hou Mansion couldn't hide Feng Zhige's eyes. Even Zhao Youjun bought off the subordinates of the Hou Mansion on the same day and sent a letter to the Anguo Mansion, Feng Zhige knew it clearly.

In fact, if it weren't for her instructions to guard the Hou Mansion's secret guards to let him go, even if Zhao Youjun was holding the gold and silver mountains, the letter would not have been able to send a single step to the Hou Mansion.

However, this also let Feng Zhige know. In the end, there are still unruly subordinates in the Hou Mansion.

And Zhao Youjun. She had given her a chance to deliver the letter only to admire the expression on her face as she fell into the abyss of despair not long after.

Putting that aside, this morning. Mu Qingwan pulled up Feng Zhige, who still wanted to lie in bed, and the mother and daughter dressed up carefully, got into the carriage and went to Mu's house.

Originally, Mu Qingwan wanted to go back to his parents' house a long time ago, but since he returned to Beijing, things have been going on. After Mrs. Liang's birthday banquet, the rumors were suppressed, and then Feng Mingxiang Chengjue and Feng Lin went to Huangjue Temple to practice. It's been delaying for a long time, and I finally have time to go to my mother's house to have a look.

The house of the Marquis of Weiyuan was given by the royal pen after the establishment of the Dawu Dynasty, and the old Marquis of Weiyuan has made countless contributions to the country, and the location of this house is of course very good. Located on East Chang'an Street, which is the closest to the edge of the imperial city, the neighbors are all the houses of the eunuchs who play an important role in the court.

The east and west Chang'an Avenue is close to the imperial city, and it is convenient to go to the court. Most of the important officials of the court and the central government chose to live in these two places.

But compared to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the location of the Mu family's house is too remote.

The Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion is in the most lively and prosperous south of the city. The Mu family is in the relatively deserted and remote north of the city, and the south and north almost pass through the entire capital.

Rao is the ground in the capital is flat, the carriage is fast, and it took more than an hour for Mu Qingwan and Feng Zhige to arrive at Mu's house.

Although the Mu family has passed away from both parents, they have not separated, and Mu Bingheng, Mu Binghong, and Mu Bingyuan, the three brothers who are away from Beijing, all live together.

The Mu family now lives in a five-entry house, and the five-entry house in the capital is not cheap, which is still when Mu's father and mother were alive, thinking that their three sons would marry daughters-in-law one after another, and almost emptied the family's savings and gritted their teeth to buy.

Now that Mu Bingyuan is working outside, only Mu Bingheng and Mu Binghong live in two families, which is a little lonely.

Because they had already received the news, when Mu Qingwan and Feng Zhige arrived at Mu's house, the Mu Bingheng brothers had already led their wives and children to wait outside the house.

If you exclude the last time I saw Mu Binghong in Huzhou, Mu Qingwan hasn't seen his family for 20 years.

In the past 20 years, not only has she changed from a cardamom girl to a middle-aged woman today, but also her brothers who were proud of the spring breeze when they were young, and their faces have been stained with a lot of wind and frost.

Got out of the carriage with the support of the maids, almost as soon as she saw the two brothers who were looking forward to it, Mu Qingwan's eyes instantly wetted, if it weren't for so many people watching, I'm afraid she would have jumped into her brother's arms and cried like she did when she was a child.

But even with the surging emotions under the strong self-pressure, when he walked in front of his brother step by step, Mu Qingwan was still so excited that his whole body trembled slightly.

"Big brother, third brother, ......" was surrounded by the Mu family and entered the courtyard, only this one was called, and Mu Qingwan couldn't cry anymore.

Not only Mu Qingwan, but also Mu Bingheng and Mu Binghong, two big men, remembered the past when their brothers and sisters grew up together, and thought of the suffering of their sister over the years, and they couldn't help but redden.

After a long time, under the comfort of his brother and sister-in-law, Mu Qingwan gradually calmed down.

Mu Bingheng carefully looked Mu Qing up and down several times at night, confirming that she was really doing well now, and then sighed: "Seeing your current appearance, my brother is finally relieved, Ah Wan, I have suffered you all these years, it is my brothers who can't stand you, before my father and mother left, I specially told us to take care of you, but ......"

Speaking of which, Mu Bingheng couldn't say any more, if it weren't for their brother being useless, how could something like that happen back then?

Hearing Mu Bingheng say this, Mu Qingwan shook his head again and again, and comforted: "Big brother and third brother, the original incident has nothing to do with you, don't think so." ”

At this time, Mu Bingheng's wife Ye Shi was busy laughing and playing a round, and looked at Mu Bingheng with disgust: "Master is really, Ah Wan has finally returned to his mother's house now, so he doesn't want to say something happy, do you still insist on making Ah Wan shed tears?" ”

Ye's eyebrows are clean, and he is always smiling, and he looks kind-hearted at first glance.

Seeing this, Mu Qingwan's second sister-in-law Zheng also spoke out to help. She held Mu Qingwan's arm affectionately, and with the other hand Feng Zhige, leading the two of them inside, and said with a smile: "That's right, big brother, Ah Wan has only come back once after being away from home for so many years, so it's right to sit down in the house first, and then lead her niece and niece to her." Ah Wanke hasn't seen these little ones yet. ”

Zheng has lived with Mu Binghong in the border for so many years. The temperament is very pungent and refreshing, but it is not annoying at all, and the hearty smile on the face can easily make people approachable.

At that time, the Ye family and the Zheng family married into the Mu family one after another. But Mu Qingwan married into the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion soon after getting along with them, and because of this, when she was in Huzhou, she received those things from her two sisters-in-law, and Mu Qingwan was even more moved.

Between words. The group entered the hall of the main courtyard and sat down to speak.

Then, Mu Bingheng waved to the few juniors who were standing. He scolded with a smile in his mouth: "You little cubs, don't come over and see your aunt and cousin soon." ”

Mu Bingheng and Ye have two sons, Mu Zeyu and Mu Zekai, and Mu Binghong and Zheng have two sons and a daughter, and two sons, Mu Zefei and Mu Zeyu. The daughter's name is Mu Xiaoxiao, and several juniors were already curious about this aunt who married into the Hou Mansion and had never met, so they couldn't help but secretly raise their eyes to look at it.

The Mu family was originally a military general. Several Mu Jiaerlang stood together, all heroic and extraordinary. looked at Mu Qingwan and was overjoyed.

As for Mu Xiaoxiao......

As Mu Binghong said at the beginning, this is a little monkey.

Mu Xiaoxiao is one year older than Feng Zhige, this year, Xu is a long-term stay, her complexion is slightly dark, but her facial features are extremely delicate under a closer look, especially a pair of apricot eyes are very energetic, she is a very lively and lovely daughter.

After meeting the children of the Mu family, Mu Qingwan introduced Feng Zhige to the Mu family with a smile: "This is the little girl Zhige." ”

Feng Zhige got up and saluted his uncles and aunts, and greeted his cousins and cousins one by one.

Among the Mu family, only Mu Binghong had seen Feng Zhige before, and after he returned to Beijing, he often mentioned the difference of Feng Zhige to his family, so the Mu family had long been curious about Feng Zhige.

Ye and Zheng were particularly pleased.

The previous generation of the Mu family only had one daughter of Mu Qingwan, this generation plus Mu Bingyuan's three sons, there are seven children, and there is still only one daughter, Mu Xiaoxiao is also an active person, jumping up and down like a kid all day long, even if Zheng's mother-in-law, sometimes she can't help but feel a pain in her brain when she thinks of her daughter.

Therefore, it is rare to see Feng Zhige, a truly elegant and reserved lady, and both of them can only feel that they like it indescribably.

The four cousins are afraid of the difference between men and women, although they are curious about Feng Zhige in their hearts, but it is not obvious, but Mu Xiaoxiao, who is a lively character, and when he saw his cousin who had been curious for more than half a year, he immediately stepped forward and took Feng Zhige's hand affectionately, chattering non-stop.

Seeing this, Ye's face was helpless.

Although Mu Xiaoxiao is the daughter of the third room, the Mu family not only lives in one place, but also gets along extremely closely, and the Mu family has only one daughter, Mu Xiaoxiao, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Ye family regards Mu Xiaoxiao as their daughter.

Pointing at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was pulling Feng Zhige and refused to let go, Ye scolded with a smile: "You monkey, you know that you are pestering your cousin, come on, you can take your cousin around." ”

In front of the elders, Mu Xiaoxiao already felt a little unable to let go, how could she be unhappy when she heard the words, so she said hello to Mu Bingheng and the others, and then dragged Feng Zhige away.

Feng Zhige also has a good impression of this hearty and lively cousin, and he does not reject getting along with her.

As soon as he got out of the main room, Mu Xiaoxiao let out a big sigh, patted his chest and turned back to Feng Zhige and said, "Cousin, don't you know, I don't like going to the main courtyard the most, as soon as I saw the uncle's stern face, I couldn't help but wonder if I was in trouble somewhere." ”

In Mu Binghong's letter, he complained to Mu Qingwan that his daughter was not as gentle as a noble girl in Beijing, not only jumping up and down like a man, but also often fighting with others.

The most important thing is that Mu Xiaoxiao has been learning boxing and kicking with Mu Binghong with her brother since she was a child, and she is quite talented.

Feng Zhige couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

Seeing Feng Zhige laughing, Mu Xiaoxiao was mistaken, with a little anxiety on her face: "Cousin, do you also think that I don't look like a girl?" ”

She likes this cousin who doesn't talk much but is beautiful and moving, for fear that her cousin will also think that she has no rules like other noble girls in the capital who claim to be beautiful ladies. That's why I'm anxious.

"How so?" Feng Zhige turned his head to look at Mu Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, "My cousin is very cute." ”

Feng Zhige was not comforting Mu Xiaoxiao, after all, from the perspective of her later generations, Mu Xiaoxiao's lively and straightforward personality was indeed very pleasing.

What Mu Xiaoxiao has heard the most since she entered Beijing is the dislike of those noble girls, and she was praised for her cuteness at this time. And it's from her cousin who has a good feeling. For a while, he was rarely ashamed, and his face was slightly red.

The lively girl is shy, but she also has a special style.

But. After all, Mu Xiaoxiao's temperament is different from ordinary ladies, and she only let go of her shame for a moment, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, my cousin doesn't think I have no rules, everyone says that the capital is good." If you want me to say, this capital is not as good as the frontier. My daughter's house has to go out of the door, and even climbing a tree has to make a group of people stunned, thinking that I was on the frontier, but I also went hunting with my father. If you let them know, won't all your eyeballs fall out? ”

Speaking of the back, Mu Xiaoxiao's tone was not without sorrow.

She grew up on the frontier. The conditions on the frontier are difficult, and Mu Binghong pities his daughter for suffering with him at a young age. has always been reluctant to restrain her, and over the years, she has developed such a wild horse-like temperament.

After being free and easy in the frontier for so many years, when she returned to the capital where everything she did, it was like being tied up with a rope, and Mu Xiaoxiao was really a little unaccustomed to it.

Feng Zhige has never been a person who can look at other people's eyes, and of course he will not persuade Mu Xiaoxiao to be such a person, in such an era when etiquette and religion are extremely strict with women, how rare is a girl with a temperament like Mu Xiaoxiao.

Therefore, Feng Zhige patted Mu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Cousin, why bother what others think, people with a similar temperament to you will naturally know how good you are, as for those who don't get along, of course you don't have to care what they think." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao has been in the capital for more than half a year, and she has been ridiculed by many noble girls when she goes out several times, and even her mother and aunt who love her are worried about how she will talk about her in-laws in the future, but no one has ever said such things as Feng Zhige to her.

The house of the Mu family is very spacious, but firstly, the Mu family has always advocated simplicity, and secondly, the Mu family itself is not rich, so the house is big, but it is not luxurious, but it reveals the warmth in the plain.

Mu Xiaoxiao was talking to Feng Zhige about the scenery in the house, and suddenly a maid of the same age as Mu Xiaoxiao, wearing a blue bikini, walked over quickly, first saluted Feng Zhige and called "cousin", and then turned to Mu Xiaoxiao, "Miss, that Miss Feng is here again, saying that she wants to visit Miss." ”

Hearing this maid mention the word "Miss Feng", Mu Xiaoxiao's originally radiant face couldn't help but be dyed with a little bitterness, and when she heard that Miss Feng was going to visit her, she frowned.

Obviously, this Miss Feng did not please Mu Xiaoxiao.

However, since Mu Xiaoxiao is not close to her, why does that Miss Feng still come to visit?

And looking at Mu Xiaoxiao's appearance, Miss Feng hadn't delivered the post yet, otherwise Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn't have been so surprised.

Feng Zhige raised his eyebrows and asked, "Cousin, who is this Miss Feng, you seem to be very good, don't you like it?" ”

"It's not that I don't like her......" Mu Xiaoxiao's face showed distress, as if she didn't know how to describe it, "Speaking of which, the young ladies I have seen since I arrived in the capital, others can't even wait to avoid me when they walk, only this Miss Feng has never disliked me and is willing to be friends with me." ”

"However, this Miss Feng is like a little white rabbit, she can't touch it, she can't touch it, she can't touch it, I have to be careful every time I talk to her, if I say something wrong, it will cause her tears and make people have a headache."

"Several times, when she shed tears, she was seen by other ladies, and they all thought that I was bullying her, and she was really full of mouths and couldn't tell clearly."

Mu Xiaoxiao had a bitter face, as if she remembered the scene again.

Feng Zhige thought deeply for a while when he heard this.

It's not a white lotus!

Mu Xiaoxiao grew up in the frontier, rarely has contact with this kind of boudoir miss, and is a straightforward and simple character, she will not play with others, Miss Feng is this kind of appearance, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that there are ghosts in it, but she can't see it at all after eating so many boring losses.

The little finger moved slightly, and Feng Zhige only felt an itchy hand.

Cleaning up the White Lotus, when you have nothing to do, it's not a little fun.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhige said to Mu Xiaoxiao, who was still distressed: "Cousin, since the guest has already come to the door, it's not good for us to ignore it, but if we want to ask someone to say that it is rude, why don't we invite that Miss Feng to come in and walk together, let's not talk about anything else, won't it make her cry?" ”

Mu Xiaoxiao hadn't made up her mind, but when she heard Feng Zhige say this, she also nodded, and ordered the maid to invite Miss Feng in.

It didn't take long to see a weak girl in white with fluttering clothes leading two maids who were obviously not from the Mu family.

The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a weak face and a posture like a weak willow, and her clothes flew when she walked, as if she could dance with the wind at any moment.

Such a demeanor, if seen by men, is really easy to arouse their desire to protect.

However, there was no man present at this time, and Mu Xiaoxiao and Feng Zhige were both girls of the same age as her, one had a simple temperament and didn't know the years, and the other was a lot of people who had seen a lot, so her behavior was in vain. (To be continued.) )>
