Mu Xuan arranged Cui Shangzhou in the Bai family, but fortunately, there was a Ah Feng in front of him to serve. He left a piece of broken silver for Bai Shengchun and asked him to help take care of it for a few days.

Bai Shengchun felt that the silver was hot, and he didn't dare to take it.

Rong Zheng made his eyes look at Bai Shengchun to accept it, and if there were two more people, there would be two more mouths to eat. The Bai family is not a rich family, what does that Qinggao do, and they are not familiar with the Mu family and the Cui family, so they have to ask for money. You can't afford to lose yourself.

Mu Xuan and Rong Zheng walked together, but one rode a horse and the other sat in a carriage, and the two didn't say a few words between them at all. From Lutang to Qixia Villa, you have to go west, and Rong Zheng has to go south to enter the city. The two are not in the same direction at all.

But Mu Xuan did not say that he wanted to go back to Qixia Villa, but said that he wanted to go back to Puci Temple, and the two walked together for a while. Until Puci Temple, Mu Xuan rode a horse and slowly walked to Rong Zheng's carriage, and said to Rong Zheng through the curtain: "Miss Rong San, Puci Temple has arrived." I'm going to say goodbye now, and I ask the young lady to take care of today's matter, and don't mention it to others. ”

Rong Zheng sat in the car and was a little depressed when she heard these words, you are going to become a monk in the future, why are there so many things that she wants to keep secret, she replied through the curtain: "I know." ”

Mu Xuan is still a little worried about Rong Zheng's words, Cui Shangzhou's behavior is already a little shocking, if something happens again, he will be even more difficult. The enemy is in the dark, but they are in the light, and many things have to be cautious.

"This matter is very important, and if you don't get Cui Qi right, you will get into trouble, so please take care of Miss Rongsan."

Rong Zheng didn't know what happened to Mu Xuan and them, and now they have fostered Cui Shangzhou in Bai Shengchun's house, could it be that something really happened? But it's all their Mu family or Cui family's business, and it's inconvenient for her to ask, so she lifted the corner of the curtain slightly, and said: "I don't go out of the door, and I'm not a person with a long tongue and a cheap mouth, if you can't believe me, you might as well send someone to keep an eye on me." ”

Mu Xuan saw that she had said everything here, and it was really hard to continue to say anything. With one hand, he returned to Puci Temple.

The county lord of Duanhui here waited for a long time and didn't see Mu Xuan go back, and the Tang Ling sent it came back.

"County Lord, it is said that Cui Qiye fell his leg. Recuperate in Lutang. After the uncle went to see him, he went back to Puci Temple. ”

Duanhui couldn't help but wonder, why did he go back to Puci Temple? Didn't you say that you would return to the palace early tomorrow morning? Here I was busy asking a little guy to go and ask Mu Xuan about tomorrow.

Duanhui thought that neither she nor the Cui family had a grange in Lutang, so why did she go to recuperate from her injuries, and couldn't help but ask Tang Ling: "Why didn't Junhua bring him back to the villa?" ”

Tang Ling said: "The small ones are not very clear. But I heard that it was the uncle's arrangement. ”

"How did Cui Qi's leg fall and hurt it?"

Tang Ling said: "I heard that I fell off the horse. ”

Duan Hui didn't think about anything else, but asked Tang Ling to find out what Cui Shangzhou was helping Mu Xuan these days.

On the second day, when Chen Zheng was in the middle of the day, Mu Xuan still came to Qixia Villa, and the sisters and brothers took the car back to Yuwang's Mansion together.

But he said that the Yuwang Mansion was defenseless, who would have thought that the two sisters and brothers would come back together. Mu Xuan walked behind his sister, without squinting, and followed him to Concubine Yan's courtyard.

At that time, the maids under the corridor were a little surprised when they saw the sister and brother, especially after seeing Mu Xuan, some people didn't even recognize Mu Xuan, and ran to pass it on to Concubine Yan.

Concubine Yan is discussing family affairs with the princess. Hearing that the county lord and Mu Xuan were coming, both of them were taken aback. However, the concubine's face was quite calm, and she said to the princess: "It seems that Da Lang has finally figured it out and is willing to come back to see us." ”

Wu Shi entered the mansion to be a princess, and she and Mu Xuan together haven't spoken ten words over the years. If it weren't for her insistence, she was afraid that her son would not be able to become a son, so she was very indifferent and unfamiliar with Mu Xuan.

The sisters and brothers arrived at the main hall one after another, but Concubine Yan was not here, but in the banquet room of the compartment. However, a maid in armor had already lifted the soft curtain of red and gold for them.

Duan Hui entered the house and caught a glimpse of the princess who was also there. He saluted the two with a calm face. Mu Xuan only made a gesture.

The princess's disdainful gaze was very obvious, and she sat here uncomfortably, so she got up and said, "Concubine, I still have something to do there." I took my leave first. ”

Concubine Yan nodded with a smile and said to the princess, "Call the children to meet their big brothers and sisters." ”

The princess responded, and Concubine Yan said: "Say it to the kitchen, clean up two tables of good dishes." By the way, Da Lang is a vegetarian, remember to make another table of vegetarian dishes. ”

The princess agreed.

When Concubine Yan saw the sister and brother, she said with a smile: "I came back all the way and my bones were tired." Sit down. Don't stand. ”

Duan Hui sat down on a rosewood lacquer carved chair at the bottom, and Mu Xuan sat next to his sister. The maids were busy with tea fruits.

Concubine Yan is a grandmother, and when she sees her grandchildren, she naturally likes them, and she gossips with them.

"The villa is only afraid of the cold in winter, why don't I let someone clean up the house, and the county lord moves back to live, how about it?"

Duanhui's identity is embarrassing now, although she is a titled county lord, but after all, she is a widower, and she is not very close to the sisters in the family, and she has a mustard with the princess, she has long been used to living alone, and she replied to Concubine Yan's words without thinking too much.

"I'm still not coming back to trouble everyone, and it's not too cold over there. Besides, I don't go out on a snowy day, so it's not in the way. ”

Concubine Yan glanced at Mu Xuan again, nodded and smiled, "Da Lang doesn't persuade your sister either." ”

Mu Xuan said: "My sister's love is her freedom, I don't have anything to say." ”

Concubine Yan was a little embarrassed, and said in her heart that these sisters and brothers are worthy of being compatriots of the same mother, and they have the same stinky temper, which is really not cute.

Not long after, the Treasure Silk, Treasure Pattern, and Bao Green sisters came, and Mu Ying also came after the sisters. But the prince was not in the house.

Duan Hui looked at his younger siblings, his eyes were a little alienated, but he couldn't say a few words to his younger siblings.

However, Mu Ying greeted Mu Xuan with a smile on her face, and Mu Ying could say a few words to Mu Xuan in this family.

"If I had known that the eldest brother and the eldest sister of the county lord would come back, I would have waited outside the city gate."

Concubine Yan heard this and said with a smile: "San Lang is talking nonsense again, you don't know where to fool around early in the morning, and you have to wait outside the city gate at this time." If anyone really takes your words seriously, I am afraid that they will wait for you at the city gate for a long time. ”

The concubine's words amused the three younger sisters, and Mu Ying was not annoyed, and said with a smiling face: "I can make the concubine and the sisters laugh, I am also worth it." ”

"This monkey can say."

The atmosphere in the house was good, except for a pair of siblings. The rest of the people were laughing and groaning.

The princess heard the laughter, and before she entered the door, she asked in a loud voice: "What are you talking about, these are all lively?" ”

She walked in with her daughter, who was just walking.

When Concubine Yan saw her great-granddaughter, her heart softened. beckoned to him, held her in his arms, and reached out to grab a handful of candy in the box for her.

The princess said: "Don't get used to her, the doctor said that you can't eat too much sweet, otherwise you will have worm teeth in the future." ”

When others heard this, they were just stunned. But Bao Lu snorted, she had a toothache.

Duan Hui saw that Concubine Yan doted on the little girl in front of her in every way, she glanced at Mu Xuan, and said in her heart that Mu Jing was several years younger than Mu Xuan, and if she had become a relative a few years earlier, her children would be several years old.

"By the way, your father is going back to Beijing before the winter solstice, and the county lord will also go with him then, right?"

"Me?" Duan Hui looked at the sisters and was a little surprised when she was sure that Concubine Yan was talking about herself.

"yes. After you came back from Fujian, you haven't entered the palace to greet the queen mother and queen. They are very worried about you, so you can dissipate and dissipate, and you can come back after the New Year. ”

Duanhui is now widowed, not like when she was not out of the pavilion before, she glanced at Mu Xuan, bowed her head and said, "The winter solstice is still early, let's talk about it." ”

Concubine Yan meant that she hoped that the Queen Mother would be in charge and would be able to re-give Duan Hui Xu Men family affairs, and finally the prince agreed. Give Duanhui an explanation for the future. Duan Hui was not so close to her, and she didn't have some things to say to Duan Hui, so she looked at the person in front of her again. Bao Juan is now the one to be married, and the two are far apart in age. When Duanhui was still at home, Baojuan was just a little girl, and she didn't have much contact. looked at the princess again, and said in her heart, do you want to let the princess persuade her? The outside affairs of the prince have broken the princess's heart in the past few days, and it is not good to ask her to take care of this matter again, it seems that if Duanhui wants to listen to anyone. Maybe I had to let Mu Xuan come forward.

Although Mu Xuan has always been lonely, does not have much contact with the house, and does not ask about these mundane things, after all, he is a sister and brother of the same mother, and Mu Xuan must also hope that his sister can live well in the future.

After thinking about it, Concubine Yan smiled and said, "I have a few words to say to Da Lang, you all disperse." Please sit in the room of the deceased concubine of the county lord. ”

The crowd had no choice but to get up and leave.

It just so happened that Mu Xuan also had a lot to ask the concubine, so she was calm.

Concubine Yan leaned on the Luohan bed, called a maid to beat her legs, and seemed to greet Mu Xuan casually: "What has Da Lang been busy with lately?" ”

Mu Xuan groaned for a while before saying, "I'm not busy with anything." ”

"Did the Cui family Xiaoqi come to you?"

Mu Xuan glanced at Concubine Yan in some surprise before she said, "I have a lot of dealings with him. ”

Concubine Yan smiled: "I also know that this child of the Cui family is in love with you, so I let him persuade you." Looks like he's a businessman. His mother came to sit with me a while ago, and I told him about the family. His mother loved it. ”

Mu Xuan listened to the clouds and mountains covered in fog, Cui Shangzhou didn't say anything strange to him.

Concubine Yan said again: "Don't worry, I will leave the matter to your mother." She's a proper person, don't worry about it. ”

Mu Xuan's lips pursed, and she said in her heart that the concubine left him to talk to him about this?

"Do you know why I asked your sister to follow you into Beijing?"

"Sun Tzu doesn't know."

Concubine Yan sighed and said, "The girl is only twenty-six, she is widowed at such a young age, can she live like this for the rest of her life?" If there is still a bone and blood left, it will be a matter to raise her children in the future, but she is desolate under her knees. At the beginning, the Ji family said that they would step a child into your sister's name, but your father did not agree. When I came back to live, the princess and I didn't have anything to say, but we couldn't do this for the rest of our lives. ”

Concubine Yan's words were full of pity, and this matter was also a concern that Mu Xuan couldn't give up. His sister is his dearest person, and he can't watch his sister live a lonely life.

Concubine Yan said again: "That's why I want your father to take the county lord to the palace to say hello to the queen mother and queen." Not to mention the county lord, even the princess has a lot of Jiao, and our royal family has no reason to keep it. Let the queen mother or the queen tell the county lord about family affairs, and also give her an explanation. What do you think? ”

Mu Xuan pondered for a moment before saying, "The concubine is right. ”

Seeing that Mu Xuan didn't refute, Concubine Yan smiled and said: "So you have to be a younger brother to persuade her a few words, your sister and brother have a deep brotherhood, we all know it, and she may not be able to listen to what others say." ”

"I see."

Concubine Yan was surprised to see Mu Xuan's answer so crisply.

"Cheng, I'll leave the rest to you, don't let me down."

Concubine Yan closed her eyes and wanted to rest for a while, so she motioned for Mu Xuan to go down. Of course, Mu Xuan is also a person who can observe words and feelings, but at the moment he is sitting still and not moving.

"What else is going on?"

Mu Xuan took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, his eyes fell on the Persian carpet on the ground, and asked coldly: "Concubine, what was the situation when my mother left back then?" And I heard that the little finch who was in charge of decoction hanged himself, what happened? Lu Tan and Lu Qiao are both very close people around my mother, why do they rush to it? ”

Concubine Yan's eyes widened and she couldn't sleep anymore, she gasped slightly in her chest, sat up slowly, and looked at Mu Xuan with straight eyes.

"Okay, how can you ask about the events of the year? You also remember it at that time, and besides, I've heard people mention it over the years, why do you ask about it again? Concubine Yan's words sounded very calm, but with an invisible sense of urgency.

Mu Xuan said: "I'm just curious, I heard about the death of the little girl, but I can't remember anything when I think about the events of the year, ask the people next to me, and the people next to me don't know." At that time, my sister and father went to Beijing to congratulate the queen on her birthday, and the concubine was at home, so she could only come to consult the concubine. ”

Concubine Yan's face was as white as paper, the green tendons on her forehead jumped violently, she was very deliberately hiding a feeling, and only after she calmed down did she say: "Xiaoque is not doing her best, I scolded her a few words." She couldn't figure it out for a moment and hanged herself. After your mother left, most of the people around you went out and didn't stay much. It's not just a girl with only two green words. Are you here to blame me for not doing my best back then? ”

Mu Xuan hurriedly got up and said, "Grandson doesn't dare." ”

Concubine Yan looked at Mu Xuan carefully, this grandson didn't grow up with her, she had been raised in the temple for so many years, it was impossible to get close to her. Today, when I suddenly asked about these things back then, I was obviously already suspicious. (To be continued.) )
