Xia Houtian pursed the corners of his mouth, he didn't know what to say, seeing that Mu Jinrou looked very angry, he suddenly felt a little unreasonable. After all, I have eaten white food for several days.

He wanted to say something, he didn't lack silver, but he didn't expect this girl to be so stingy.

"Humph!" But Mu Jinrou had already turned her head away from looking at him, and said to Princess Ruyu: "Princess, I can do it alone, Lotus knows kung fu, and those people can't beat her." ”

Princess Ruyu looked at Xia Houtian in embarrassment, "This...... Not really. ”

Xia Houtian continued: "Naturally, it's not good. Yu'er's matter, how can I do something as a cousin. ”

This time it was Mu Jinrou's turn to be embarrassed, she was able to refute others once with her friendship with Princess Ruyu, but she couldn't come back a second time, her halfway county lord was not as good as a genuine princess and prince.

Princess Ruyu can also be regarded as a conscientious princess, and said: "Don't worry Mu Si, you are now the county lord, that is, my sister." It can also be said to be cousins with King Hong, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. ”

"I ......." Mu Jinrou was choked enough, where was she embarrassed

Looking at Xia Houtian, Mu Jinrou didn't know what kind of mentality to use to face it. Her intuition told her that this person was different from the King of Qin and the crown prince, and that he was more dangerous.

Xia Houtian also said: "Lord Jinrou doesn't have to be polite, it is appropriate for the elder brother to take care of the little sister." ”

Mu Jinrou: "......." "I can't say a word anymore, I'm so aggrieved.

In the eager eyes of Princess Ruyu and Xia Houtian, she had no choice but to nod. The time is set at three o'clock tomorrow at noon, and it is unlucky to ask people for silver early in the morning, isn't it? In fact, Mu Jinrou wants to verify what the origin of this Hongwang is.

That's when it happened. Qingzhu walked over with one or two large pots of snacks, "Princess, county lord." This is a new snack in our shop, so please try it. ”

Before leaving, she also gave Xia Houtian a salute, but she still didn't know that the person in front of her was a prince. may pretend not to know, the people who come out of the palace always have more eyes than others.

Mu Jinrou suddenly understood why she had just arrived at the foodie with her front feet, and Princess Ruyu followed her with her back legs, it turned out to be Qingzhu's girl. But it doesn't matter, didn't she stay here just to send a letter to Princess Ruzhu? It's just that.......

Why does this Hongwang like weird peanuts so much? Add the chili peppers. Those who add mustard eat happily, isn't he afraid of spicy?

Mu Jinrou doesn't like mustard, that thing really drills the nose. But it's a pleasure to study these weird dim sums. In the eyes of normal people, these sweets may be called dark dishes.

Maybe Mu Jinrou looked too seriously, King Hong felt it, so he raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" This snack tastes so strange. ”

"Ahh Right. It's okay. Cough! Mu Jinrou panicked and didn't know what to say, coughed and said: "Since His Royal Highness King Hong likes it, why don't you eat more, I don't know where your house is, if you have a new snack, let someone send it to you?" ”

The answer was Princess Ruyu, "Just send it to the envoy station." Lao Hongwang has not returned to Beijing for many years, and the palace has long been in disrepair and can no longer live, so his cousin lives directly in the post department. So it's perfect to ask him to accompany you to the station. ”

"Oh." Mu Jinrou vaguely understood something.

Xia Houtian said: "No need, anyway, I'm idle during the days I went to Beijing." If you want to eat, you can come to Foodie. ”

Seeing Mu Jinrou's mouth pursed, he added: "Next time, I will pay the silver according to the price." ”

The corners of Mu Jinrou's mouth immediately curved. "Thank you so much."

Xia Houtian secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, he is a little money fan. ”

After eating the snacks, a few people dispersed, Ruyu Gonggong wanted to go back to the palace, Mu Jinrou wanted to go back to the house, only Xia Houtian said that he wanted to go around casually, he grew up in Nanling since he was a child and wanted to know more about the customs and customs in Beijing.

After Mu Jinrou returned home, he wrote a letter directly to Li Yi, asking him to come over at night and discuss something. Now that she lives in Andingbo Mansion, it is more convenient for Li Yi to come here.

Then he went directly to Concubine Mu, and it happened that Mu Bowen was also there, and when he heard their conversation, he put King Hong's advance aside.

Concubine Mu looked at their brother and sister, felt great relief, and said, "Seeing that you are all about to get married, my heart will be stable." ”

Mu Bowen said: "Auntie, my nephew wants to do my family affairs next month, and I hope my aunt can drink a cup of tea for my nephew and daughter-in-law." ”

In fact, he is selfish, and the rules for marriage are all aspects, if Concubine Mu is sitting in the Bofu, they will not dare to think crookedly when they come to the Sun family.

Concubine Mu frowned, "My aunt also wants to, even if it is better to stay for one more day." ”

Mu Jinrou also said: "Auntie, can you send someone to ask the queen to be gracious, and wait for my brother to get married before returning to the palace?" ”

The brother and sister glanced at each other, and both saw worry. If there is no Concubine Mu in charge, those people in the palace will definitely use the wedding to make trouble. He is the eldest son, he has just regained his identity, and he can't marry outside.

Concubine Mu also understood this, and sighed: "Time is still in a hurry, how are you preparing?" Tomorrow, I will let Hongyu enter the palace and plead with the queen, don't be afraid, everything has an aunt. As long as I'm there for a day, they can't jump. ”

The brother and sister laughed in unison.

Mu Bowen said: "Thank you, auntie. Everything is ready, no matter how rushed the time is, it will be easy to navigate. ”

Concubine Mu was very pleased, "That's very good." Arlo is a good girl, you have to be nice to others. Then he talked about the family rules of the Mu family, "Our Mu family is not happy to take concubines, and your grandfather has not had a concubine for several generations, only a wife." The dispute between wives and concubines, and the rebellion in the house are a sign of a loser, which is true. ”

Mu Jinrou frowned, there is such a thing, what is the Hu family?

Concubine Mu said again: "It's a pity that my sister-in-law went early, and I am young. Your grandfather was busy again, and there was no principal in the family, so he was introduced to marry the Sun family to fill the house, and the atmosphere in our house changed. After your grandfather was seriously ill and confused, he married Hu's wife without authorization, and took one concubine after another, which is really chilling.

If the wife is unable to have children, it will only take five years before she can buy a good family and have a daughter, but whether it is a son or a daughter. It is necessary to go to the mother and keep the child. Blog post, did you write it down? ”

Mu Bowen solemnly responded, "Yes." The nephew wrote it down. ”

Mu Jinrou also thinks that this is really a good rule, as for going to the mother and keeping the children, it is impossible for ordinary people not to have children after five years of marriage.

It can be seen that marrying a wife is really ruining three generations, but fortunately, I came and changed all this. Otherwise, their generation and the next generation will also be ruined by the Sun and Hu clans.

After saying this, Mu Jinrou asked about King Hong, "Auntie." Do you know Hongwang? I went to the foodie just now, and Princess Ruyu was there with King Xinhong. ”

Speaking of King Hong, Mu Bowen raised his eyebrows. The alarm bell in his heart is loud, how did King Hong find his sister?

Concubine Mu didn't think anything about it, and thought for a moment before saying, "King Hong, he is the elder brother of the former emperor. It's just that the biological mother has a low status. Even though he was deeply loved by the emperor at that time, he had no chance to be in that position. If it was because of this, after the first emperor ascended the throne, he divided his fief in southern Xinjiang.

A northerner went to southern Xinjiang because he was naturally unaccustomed to the water and soil, and died of illness within a few years. His only son inherited the title, that is, the old king Hongwang, who had just passed away, heard that he made a lot of contributions to southern Xinjiang, and he sat in southern Xinjiang, where the Miao people did not challenge the imperial power from time to time.

However, ......, King Xinhong is his old son. Originally, everyone thought that the Hongwang lineage was broken, more than 20 years ago. Lao Hongwang said to the court that her new Miao concubine gave birth to a son for him, this is Xinhong Wang, and this is what my aunt knows. ”

Mu Jinrou still didn't understand, why did the child born to a Miao Jiang woman have some portraits of King Qin? It's really weird.

As for King Hong's understanding, Mu Bowen dragged her away on the pretext of disturbing Concubine Mu's lunch break.

After going out, he whispered, "Stay away from that Hongwang in the future." ”

"Why? Princess Ruyu also said that I would go with him tomorrow to ask for debts. Mu Jinrou pouted and said, she knew that Mu Bowen was hiding a lot from her about King Hong.

Mu Bowen sighed: "It's not good to have too much to do with the royal family. ”

Mu Jinrou said again: "Is our Mu family less involved with the royal family?" A concubine, a side concubine who soon became a concubine, and I, the county lord, are sealed for the sake of the concubine's face. ”

Mu Bowen frowned, there is also a Li Yi, he is a person who absolutely protects the prince's faction. Thinking of this, he sighed again: "If you want to repay your debts tomorrow, you will go back to your house immediately, and bring He Sanqiu and lotus flowers." That King Hong is not simple, otherwise a mere raider would need to stay in Shangjing for a few months? ”

"Oh, got it." Mu Jinrou seems to have suddenly opened her mind, could it be that there are some conspiracies involved in this? I finally asked King Qin, who was pestering, and there is another King Hong, I don't want anyone to live this day!

It's better to get married quickly, so that it will be much easier to get along with people. For the first time, Mu Jinrou had the idea of wanting to marry early.

Speaking of getting married, she has three older sisters in front of her, which is a problem. The eldest sister and the second sister are all famous, but the third sister has no in-law's family, Mu Jinrou is really worried about Mu Jinpei.

Mu Jinpei ordered the maids to prepare an extra meal for each meal in the early morning, and now she has recovered from her heart disease and has a great appetite. And three meals in one bite must be eaten well.

After his mother Qian Guizhi learned about it, she praised Mu Jinrou for a good meal, and her daughter finally loved to eat, so she took out her body money and wanted to prepare some delicious meat dishes for her, such as roast chicken, roast leg of mutton, etc., to make up for her daughter. I didn't think about whether her daughter could eat these things at all.

And Mu Jinpei responded without thinking about it after learning this, and now he was not afraid that outsiders would find out that there was a man hidden in his boudoir.

Luo Feiyang ate two meals in the mansion and felt that it was very palatable. Drinking a cup of hot tea after a meal is really the life of a fairy. He glanced at Mu Jinpei, who was still pouring tea for him, and thought to himself, if only this stupid girl would be so obedient every day in the future.

Mu Jinpei's temperament is actually not well-behaved at all, but she is a little stubborn, but she is very good at pretending on the surface, so few people know her true nature from childhood to adulthood.

But I don't know why in front of this strange scholar, his little temperament pops up from time to time, maybe there is no pressure in the face of strangers, anyway, after taking what he needs, he will go to the cliff, who knows who.

"Hey, are you full?" Mu Jinpei put down the teacup, and his nature came out, and he hummed: "Do you know how much you ate?" One meal is worth three of my meals. No, you have to give something good. ”

Luo Feiyang is really not a stingy person, and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Is there any poison?"

Luo Feiyang closed his eyes and didn't speak again.

Mu Jinpei also pursed her lips, snorted coldly, returned to the screen and embroidered the flowers with peace of mind.

In the evening, Li Yi arrived as promised.

Mu Jinrou told him about meeting King Hong again and asked, "How should I do it?" I don't want to have anything to do with this person. ”

Li Yijian raised his eyebrows lightly, pulled Mu Jinrou into his arms, and said softly: "You are right to think so." There is no way to do it tomorrow, it is better not to go out in the future or not to go out. This person is dangerous, it's not that he doesn't want to tell you, it's just that the less you know, the safer, you know? ”

Mu Jinpei understood in seconds, "I know, this is not something I can manage, and I don't want to take care of it." It's just that my brother is getting married, you have to help him, the family can't be trusted, and neither can the scumbag father. You often see the emperor, can you mention it in his ear, and let my aunt go back to the palace after my brother's wedding." ”

Li Yi's chin grinded on her forehead and whispered, "Okay." Your brother is married, and it's your turn next. ”

"How can I be, I still have three older sisters. However, the most worrying thing at the moment is my third sister Mu Jinpei, this girl's in-laws have no shadow. It is estimated that in the spring of next year, my second sister will be able to get married. Mu Jinrou said truthfully.

Li Yi answered: "At the end of the year, you have to marry anyway." ”

Mu Jinrou is fourteen years old, and she just had her birthday a few days ago, but she always feels that she is only one year older after the New Year, and she doesn't feel much about it. If it weren't for the appearance of King Hong, she really didn't want to marry like this.

"Maybe there won't be so much trouble after getting married." She fantasizes about the days when she is the master of her own house, eats whatever she wants, and sleeps as she likes.

Li Yi nodded, "That's for sure." ”

But what he thinks is that he will have to deal with the people in the house next year, but he can't let her know that his stepmother stuffs people into his house every once in a while, and he is afraid of trouble, so he arranges all these people to a certain courtyard, anyway, he doesn't often go back to the house to live, let them imagine.

Early the next morning, Mu Jinrou counted the people and prepared to go to the post house, with a kind of open-mindedness.

She swears it will be the last time she will do such a thankless task. Anyway, we're also the county lord, so we should still have some right to refuse someone.

The carriage traveled slowly, and finally arrived at the gate of the inn in the afternoon.

Xia Houtian had been waiting at the gate for a long time, and a person wearing a brocade dress was walking around the door, quite depressed.

Why? How can this person say that he is also a prince, and he doesn't have anyone with him, and his father just died. Mu Jinrou felt a little pitiful.

She got out of the car with the lotus mother and son, and just saw Xia Houtian raise his head, who waved at her.

Mu Jinrou felt that this was a greeting, she also raised her hand and waved, but she also pinched an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, which was really like a farewell action, so she immediately put away her hand, it was really embarrassing!

But this scene was seen by someone sitting in the teahouse opposite the post house, and his eyes immediately narrowed slightly, "How can this girl ......." (To be continued.) )
