Chapter Eighty-Eight: Compromise

Duan Hui listened to Concubine Yan's construction and was also thinking about whether to go to Beijing with her father, she was the county lord who grew up in Bianliang, and she was not very familiar with the concubines and princesses in the palace.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother haven't visited them for several years since she got married, so they can't help but be a little estranged.

The nurse Chen inquired about some of the concubine's thoughts from the people who served around the concubine, and thought that the concubine was very thoughtful. It's not a way for the county lord to continue like this, but he still has to think about what to do in the future.

"County lord Niangniang, you should go to the capital with the prince to live in the capital for a while."

Duan Hui didn't have an idea yet, and said annoyedly: "When I leave Junhua, he won't even have a person to talk to." ”

Chen smiled and was relieved: "But stay for a while and come back, after all these years, can't he take care of himself?" Don't think about it. Take this opportunity to go to Beijing to have a look and relax. ”

Duan Hui has been depressed since Yibin's death, and has been in the Ji family for more than a year, and that time has been very gloomy. A few people brought from my mother's house can talk and relieve boredom. finally got the promise of King Yu and returned home, and she was not very close to her younger brothers and sisters in the house, and the only thing she cared about in her heart was her brother. I have lived in this Qixia Villa for more than half a year, and the days of widowhood are very cold, and she has almost cut off contact with those girlfriends who have been friends in the past, and only guards her own small world.

Chen thought that the county lord was only in his twenties, and it was not a solution to be desolate and lonely every day, so he wanted to encourage Duanhui to go out and walk around. It would be better if the queen or the queen mother could watch the county lord's life suffer, and then talk about family affairs again.

In the afternoon of this day, Mu Xuan came.

Duan Hui gossiped with him in the warm pavilion.

"Is my sister going to Kyori?"

Duan Hui shook his head and said, "I don't know yet." ”

Mu Xuanjian said: "I hope my sister can go out and walk around, talk to people, and live a better life." ”

Duan Hui smiled: "Why don't you go with me?" ”

"Me?" Mu Xuan was a little surprised.

Duanhui nodded and smiled: "Yes, our sister and brother also have a companion on the road." Besides, you haven't been to Beijing for a long time, so go out and walk around. should also show his face in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress. ”

Mu Xuan didn't want to go, lowered his head and said, "No, I'm still learning a set of swordsmanship from my master here, and I'm helping to copy the scriptures." I won't go. It's more important to be my sister in the end. ”

Duan Hui heard that Mu Xuan was reluctant to follow her in order to copy the scriptures, so she pouted and said, "Do you really think of yourself as an outsider?" I've told you that I can't move on to such thoughts. Do you know? The princess has asked the princess to help you with the right family affairs. Father also said that he should marry you the share of his mother's concubine. ”

Mu Xuan was a little stunned, and said curtly: "Why did you talk about me again?" ”

Duan Hui said angrily: "You are still young." It's time to say goodbye. There can be no further delay. ”

Mu Xuan insisted: "I don't want to start a family." It was useless for my sister to persuade me. It's my sister, I know the concubine's plans. ”

Duan Hui was a little surprised and hurriedly asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Mu Xuan was annoyed by two points, smiled slightly, and said gently: "It turns out that my sister doesn't know yet?" The meaning of the concubine is to let you follow your father into the palace. See if you can ask the queen mother or the queen to do so. Re-give my sister a suitable family affair! ”

Before Mu Xuan's words fell, Duan Hui frowned and said, "What else do I marry as a widow, what's wrong with me living like this for the rest of my life?" ”

"Sister!" Mu Xuan called out eagerly, with a little pain.

"It doesn't matter to me, after all, I was married once, and I am a widow. Besides, I've made up my mind. You don't have to persuade me! ”

Mu Xuan shouted without words: "Could it be that brother-in-law is so good in my sister's heart, so good that you have to guard him for the rest of your life?" ”

Duan Hui glanced at Mu Xuan deeply, she remembered her husband who had been dead for two years. When she decided on this family business, she also nodded and agreed after seeing him.

Ji Jue is one year older than her and likes to read and play chess. It's a gentle person.,Treat her with great respect.。 They have been husband and wife for only four years, and the two have never blushed, and they have always respected each other. Her only regret was that she didn't leave any blood and bones for him.

She doesn't know much about what kind of affection **, but she still remembers the days she lived with him. She still kept everything he had given her. I always dream of him every once in a while.

Duan Hui is not a kind person, and she will never forget his kindness to her for the rest of her life.

Mu Xuan saw that her sister was silent, and he understood in his heart that the brother-in-law he had only met had already carved a brand in his sister's heart, and this mark might not be erased by her sister for the rest of her life. The county lord's silence made him regret it a little. He didn't want to watch his only sister live a lonely life like this, he wanted to see her happy before he would abandon Hongchen without worry.

After a long time, Duanhui finally spoke: "Junhua, I know that I will never be able to wait for him to come back in this life." What if I just keep him for the rest of my life? ”

Mu Xuan sighed slightly. There are some things he can't ask for.

"Will my sister go to Beijing with my father?"

Duanhui said: "I don't know, what about you, are you really not going to accompany me?" ”

Mu Xuan nodded, he had other things to deal with, he couldn't tell his sister.

Duanhui didn't persuade him, but just said, "Junhua." Make a family. That's all I have in this life, I can't watch you live a single life anymore. I'm just a younger brother like you, if you can't get well, how can I give my mother an errand in the future? ”

"Unless my sister is willing to agree to remarry!"

"Meritus! You know what I want. ”

"You have remembered your surname Ji all your life, and no one will blame you. Even if it's your future brother-in-law, he won't blame you. I really can't bear your desolate life, and in the end you don't even have a companion by your side. ”

The siblings are really fighting over this.

The Dan Tangerine, Su Su and Chen in this room all sweated a handful. How similar these sisters and brothers are, and how stubborn.

It was the embarrassing time when Danxia suddenly came to report: "Uncle, Cui Qiye is here!" ”

Mu Xuan got up to leave, and said to Duan Hui before leaving, "Sister might as well think about it more." ”

Duan Hui pursed her lips and said nothing. Mu Xuan opened the curtain and went out.

The Chen family hurriedly walked in, but saw Duanhui looking at the window in a daze.

"County Lord's Mother!"

When Duan Hui saw the nurse, she cried.

Chen looked at the heartache and gently hugged Duanhui's shoulder.

"Nurse, do you think my brother and I are in a dead end?"

Chen sighed and said, "The county lord is also for the good of the uncle, but you should also think about your own affairs." ”

"He'll negotiate terms with me. will threaten me with words. What the hell am I going to do? ”

The Chen family naturally hoped that what Mu Xuan said would count, so as long as the county lord agreed to Mu Xuan's words, the two of them would be happy, and after thinking about it, they tentatively said: "It's better for the county lord to follow the uncle's wishes." He finally relented. You promise him. As long as his words count, won't what you've been worried about come true? ”

When Duan Hui heard the nurse like this, she sat up straight, stared at Chen's face, and said for a long time, "Is this the only way?" ”

Chen nodded.

"But I'm ...... I don't want to marry again. ”

Chan, of course, has his own plans. Then he instigated Duan Hui and said: "County Lord, you stabilize the uncle first, and talk about it later." At that time, it would be better to find another way to deal with the past. ”

Duan Hui hesitated.

Danxia replied through the curtain: "County Lord! Tang Ling came and said that he had something to report to you. ”

Duan Hui was stunned and nodded, "Okay, let him come to see me!" ”

Chen took the silk to wipe Duan Hui's tears in distress, and asked the little girl to pour water to let Duan Hui wash his face and re-homogenize the fat powder.

Duan Hui sat behind the screen and saw Tang Ling.

Tang Ling caught a glimpse of a skirt exposed under the screen, and kowtowed to Duan Hui.

Duan Hui said: "You get up and speak." ”

Tang Ling bowed down and said, "The county lord asked the little one to investigate, and the little one has already inquired about it." ”

Duan Hui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Tang Ling glanced at the room, and there seemed to be no one else, so he boldly said: "Uncle seems to be investigating the matter of the princess with the seventh master of the Cui family." ”

Duanhui was even more surprised. Hurriedly asked: "It's been all these years, what is he doing to check this?" ”

How did Tang Ling know Mu Xuan's plan, so he had to say the part he knew: "Uncle asked Cui Qiye to help find the old people around the princess back then." I also found the green warp. Later, Cui Qiye was investigating the matter of green sandalwood back then. ”

Duanhui felt that this matter was a little strange, if he wanted to say that his younger brother wanted to find the old person around his mother's concubine, he would not hide it from her, so why would he not mention it to her for half a word. She remembered what happened to Mama Lei a while ago, and the doubts in her heart deepened a little.

"Could it be that Junhua, what doubts does he have about the events of that year?"

This Tang Ling didn't dare to be sure, but if he didn't suspect it, he didn't have to be so secretive, he was silent.

Tang Ling's silence made Duan Hui a little scared for no reason, could it be that the death of the mother concubine was not so simple. Only then did my brother become suspicious? Or has he already found something?

"A few days ago, Cui Qiye's leg was injured, and I heard that he was calculated because he went to investigate the matter of Lu Tan."

These words made Duan Hui even more unable to sit still, she stood up and said in a loud voice: "Come on, go and call Junhua to me!" ”

The maid under the porch heard it. I said yes and went.

Duan Huiqiang suppressed his feelings and said calmly: "Okay, it's okay to find out here." If there's nothing, you can go down. ”

Tang Ling replied respectfully.

When Mu Xuan came over to see Duan Hui again, Duan Hui retreated from everyone around him, and opened his mouth to reprimand: "Junhua, you are so confused!" ”

Mu Xuan was still a little confused. Busy asking, "Did I do something wrong?" ”

Duan Hui said with tears in her eyes: "We are all sisters and brothers of the same mother, why do you have to hide such a big thing from me." At the beginning, the mother concubine loved both of us the same, why didn't you sue me that you had doubts about the mother concubine back then? ”

Mu Xuan's body trembled, and said in her heart, what does my sister know?

"I'm afraid my sister will worry!" Mu Xuan's words were extremely sincere.

"If I don't know, you're going to keep it from me? Even if you know the truth, you won't tell me, you have to hide it from me for the rest of your life, right? ”

Mu Xuan shook his head blankly and said, "No, no, I didn't think so. If you know the truth, you will definitely tell Sister SΓΉ. It's just that I don't want my sister to get involved now. ”

"You're confused!"

Mu Xuan was a little at a loss, he stood there like a statue, motionless.

"I heard you've found Midori, can you let me meet her?"

Mu Xuan nodded.

"Where's the green sandalwood?"

"She's dead."

Duanhui is not surprised. She remembered what Chen said to her just now, and she thought for a long time before saying, "Junhua, the two of us should be more united." Now that it has been decided to find out what happened back then, it is time to talk to each other. Let's work together, maybe it's easier. ”

"Sister, what should you do if someone close to us hurts us?"

Duan Hui was extremely shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What, what did you find?" Who is it? Who the hell is it? ”

Mu Xuan said weakly: "No, it's not that far." At the moment, these clues are too limited, and I haven't sorted them out yet. ”

Duanhui's entire nerves tensed.

"No, the closest relatives around us are all family, and it is impossible to harm us. The concubine and the father are all our family, how could they harm the mother and concubine. Meritus, is there something wrong? Or are you thinking about it? ”

Mu Xuan shook his head and said, "I haven't checked it yet, it's too early to say anything." It's a nonsense of mine. Don't take my sister seriously. Seeing her sister's panicked appearance, Mu Xuan regretted saying that.

Duan Hui's face was like ashes, and he said after a while: "Junhua, if I promise you, I will choose to remarry, but don't forget what you said, you promised to get married." ”

Mu Xuan looked at his sister in surprise, just after a while, did his sister have an idea? In the end, he planted himself in it.

"Don't live in the house when you get married, live in the villa. If our sister and brother can be alienated from the palace, let's be estranged, just treat it as a separation, and we don't care about the affairs over there. It was a decision she made after hearing her brother's words.

"Let me think about it, okay?"

Duan Hui said aggressively: "I have made concessions, why can't you?" ”

Mu Xuan's plan is to wait until he finds out the truth of the year, repay kindness and revenge, and then wait until his only sister has a home. Then he will be able to let go of a pious refuge in Buddhism. But at the beginning, the master said that he was too obsessed to cross him.

He closed his eyes and seemed to be making a difficult decision.

"Okay, I promise my sister. It's just that this family business has to go through my nod and agree. ”

Duan Hui's tense nerves relaxed, and finally a smile finally appeared on his face, and said, "If you want to live with you for a lifetime, of course, you have to nod and agree." ”

After Mu Xuan made this decision, he found that he had violated his original intention and could never go back.

But when he saw the smile on his sister's face, he felt a little relieved. (To be continued.) )
