Chapter 239: Soft Love
Sunset over the West Mountains.
The orange glow shone through the thin white mulberry paper, casting a faint halo on the spotless cherry wood floor.
Mu Yunxuan stood with his hands in his hands, standing at the railing in front of the window and contemplating, as if he was full of thoughts, when he heard the footsteps behind him, he touched the moon-white figure who pushed the door in, a slight smile appeared on his cold face, and he habitually bowed his hand and said, "I'm bothering the second brother." β
It's really annoying.
"The third brother is here, sit!" Mu Yunting smiled slightly, walked around to the wide desk, sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked, "The third brother has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, is there anything wrong?" β
Mu Yunxuan has a dull temperament, he doesn't like to laugh with people, and when he is at home on weekdays, he also locks himself in the study and buries himself in hard study, which has quite a posture of achieving a generation of Confucianism.
Mu An ran in to serve tea.
Mu Yunting glanced at him, and then looked away as if nothing happened.
Mu An suddenly panicked inexplicably.
It seems that the prince already knows about him and Yu Mutou.
It's over, wait for the punishment!
After the tea was made, Mu An retreated in disgust.
"Second brother, there is something I have been stuffy in my heart for many days, I want to think about it, I still want to discuss it with my second brother." Mu Yunxuan watched Mu An's figure disappear at the door, then turned around, paused, and continued, "Don't hide it from the second brother, I have a soft spot for Miss Chen Er of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I want to come to the door to ask for marriage, and I want to hear the second brother's opinion." β
These days, that woman has to go to Lingxiao Temple almost every day to worship the Buddha. Almost every time, he could watch her palanquin from afar as it trembled past the gate of the Taifu Temple.
His long-sealed heart also trembled.
It's just that because it was rumored that she had a secret disease, my grandmother and mother stopped mentioning it, and the matter of the previous marriage was not over, and he, because of the tea party, can no longer forget it.
"Third brother, Second Miss Chen has a secret illness, she is really not a good match." Mu Yunting didn't seem surprised, and Yun looked at him lightly. Lang said. "Although I don't know what the secret disease is, this matter is absolutely true, otherwise, Miss Chen Er would not have been out of the cabinet until now."
Naturally, he inquired about these from Huangfu Zhuo.
Although Huang Fuzhuo is Miss Chen Er's brother-in-law. But he was a man after all. It is also unclear what kind of illness Miss Chen Er has. I only know that Miss Chen Er has always had a doctor by her side.
"Second brother, I know all this, and I don't care." Mu Yunxuan obviously came prepared. looked at Mu Yunting earnestly, and said, "I just want to be with her for a long time, and nothing else." β
"I know that the third brother is not a reckless person, but it is a lifelong matter, so the third brother still has to discuss it with his grandmother." Mu Yunting coughed lightly, "If they don't agree, this family business still won't work." β
If the young lady agrees, but the Huangfu family and the Liu family disagree, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?
"I also hope that the second brother will be more thoughtful in front of his grandmother and mother." Mu Yunxuan suddenly got up and bowed, "Second brother, please go to Muying Hall with me." β
Mu Yunting couldn't help but lock his eyebrows lightly.
I can't see that this brother is still anxious......
The Huangfu clan was naturally resolutely opposed, she looked at Mu Yunxuan, who was kneeling straight in front of her, and said earnestly; "San Lang, although that Miss Chen Er has a good family background, and she is a concubine, her upbringing must be excellent, but she suffers from a dark disease, but it is also an indisputable fact, although marrying a wife should be virtuous, but this virtuous word, you must also have a good body, marriage events, must not be impulsive, so that you regret it for life, you marry a sick son back, not only can she not take care of you, but you also have to take care of her, such a thing that outweighs the loss, why do you bother?"
Mu Yunting sat on the side and drank tea, silent.
Liu was also silent.
She was originally very much in favor of marrying the Prime Minister's Mansion, what are you afraid of if she has a secret disease? If it weren't for Miss Chen's second miss who had a secret illness and wasted time, would it be their turn to be the third lang?
Besides, how can everything be so perfect, first climb the relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, as long as San Lang's career is smooth, and he will rise step by step in the future, and he will still worry about a woman?
"San Lang, what your grandmother said is right, Miss Chen Fu's second lady is suffering from a dark disease, and this family affair can't be done." Mu Changfeng saw Huangfu's calm face, turned his head to look at Liu, and said, "To put it bluntly, marrying a daughter-in-law means that there are many people around you to serve you, not to drag you down, now that she is staying in the boudoir, you can't see anything, who knows what she will become once she marries?" β
The Liu clan couldn't help but glance at Mu Changfeng.
Even if you get married, you die.
As long as it's good for Saburo's career.
She has already seen it, and she can't count on the Dafang family, look at what their father and son have done, not to mention falling out with the Guogong Mansion, and having a problem with the prince, once the prince ascends the throne, it is not the Yongding Marquis Mansion that is unlucky.
Although it is true that Prime Minister Chen is the father-in-law of the fourth prince, don't forget, Prime Minister Chen's second son also married Empress Dexian's niece as his wife.
"Liu, do you agree with this family business?" Seeing that the Liu clan was rarely silent, the Huangfu clan asked coldly.
"Mother, daughter-in-law is soft-spoken, and she doesn't care if she says it." Liu sneered.
"What are you talking about?" Huangfu said unhappily, "You are always San Lang's biological mother, your son's lifelong event, why are you so soft-spoken?" β
Mu Changfeng coughed lightly.
"Mother, San Lang rarely had the idea of marrying a daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law felt that it was better to obey him." The Liu family didn't look at Mu Changfeng, and said to himself, "Besides, maybe San Lang is just hot, and the Chen Mansion won't agree to this family affair at all?" β
"It's their business whether they agree or not, anyway, we have to unify our opinions, do we want to go to the Chen Mansion to propose marriage?" Mu Yunting interjected unhurriedly, looked at several people with different expressions, and knew that he would not be able to unify his opinions in a short time. Then he said, "It's better to do this, I'll send someone to inquire about what kind of secret illness that Miss Chen Er is, and see if we can accept it." β
"Then let's do it first!" Seeing that Mu Yunxuan, who had been sitting silent and calm all the time, the Huangfu clan knew that this grandson had eaten the scales and had no choice but to compromise.
Mu Changfeng saw that his mother agreed to Mu Yunting's suggestion, so he had to nod his head and agree.
was so angry that the Liu family didn't pay attention to him along the way.
In everything, he knows that he only listens to his mother's words, has no opinions, and does not know his son's relatives at all. All the thoughts of daring are used on women.
I saw Mu Changfeng enter the courtyard again. didn't come to her house, but went straight to the Agarwood Garden to see his precious concubine, and there was a feeling of annoyance in his heart, so he simply followed his feet and went to the Agarwood Garden.
She wanted to see how the father and daughter enjoyed their families.
"Wu Niang. Is this a painting you've been painting lately? Mu Changfeng held a picture of a lady in his hand. asked gently.
The woman in the painting has beautiful eyebrows and eyes. With a soft figure, he was sitting under the grape trellis, looking into the distance with his cheeks back. There is some sadness in the eyes, and there is also some confusion, and people are sad.
"Hmm." Mu Shuang stood timidly beside her father, looked at his smiling face, plucked up the courage to step forward and grabbed the corner of his clothes, and asked, "My daughter is clumsy, and I hope that my father will give me some advice." β
"Haha, my daughter is not clumsy." Mu Changfeng laughed, and couldn't help but raise his hand to stroke her soft hair, "My daughter is smart!" β
"Father......" Leng Buding received a rare compliment, Mu Shuang couldn't help but have a sour nose, and tears suddenly appeared at the bottom of her eyes.
"Good boy, my father has been busy lately, so I can't come over often to watch you draw, don't blame my father." Mu Changfeng said, took out a dark green money bag embroidered with bamboo from his arms, quietly stuffed it into Mu Shuang's hand, and said in a low voice, "Father has earned some money recently, you can take this silver, buy some pen and ink paints or something on weekdays, you don't need to ask your mother, I know that your mother has always opposed your painting." β
"Father, I can't ask for this silver, you better keep it for yourself!" Mu Shuang was so frightened that she hurriedly pushed away the money bag and said in a low voice, "Father, don't worry, in addition to the monthly silver every month, my grandmother also gives me some silver from time to time, and my pen and ink paints or something, Mobaotang will send them over every month, and the second sister-in-law said that she will send someone to settle the bill every month, so father, I have plenty of money." β
"You said your second sister-in-law buys you pen and ink paint every month?" When Mu Changfeng heard this, his heart suddenly felt a little sour, he never thought that his daughter needed to buy pen and ink pigments to paint......
"Hmm." Mu Shuang lowered her head and twisted her clothes and said, "The second sister-in-law treats me very well, since my mother knows that my pen and ink paints are all bought by the second sister-in-law, there is no more emu!"
"Wu Niang, father is sorry for you." Mu Changfeng looked at the delicate and thin little face in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the woman's smile, his heart was sour, he put the money bag in her hand, and said in a low voice, "You have money in your hand, you can keep it well, these are given to you by your father, you take it and buy some rouge gouache or something, don't brush your father's heart!" β
"Thank you, father." Mu Shuang took the money bag tremblingly.
She grew so big, and her father gave her money for the first time.
The door slammed open.
Seeing the happy appearance of the father and daughter, Liu sneered: "I don't go back to the house at night, and I run to see my daughter upside down, it's really a father-daughter relationship!"
Mu Shuang saw that the Liu family broke in coldly, and suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied: "Mother." β
"I'll come to see Wu Niang, I'll go back in a while, what are you doing here?" Mu Changfeng said lukewarmly, and walked out.
"Wait, what is this?" Liu Shi touched the money bag in Mu Shuang's hand, snatched it up, put it in his hand, and asked in a cold voice, "Wu Niang, who gave you the money?" β
"This is, this is ......" Mu Shuang looked at Mu Changfeng with a daze.
Mu Changfeng had already walked to the door, and when he heard Liu's question, he stopped, looked back at his trembling daughter, and had to say: "This money was asked by Erlang's daughter-in-law to give Wu Niang a little over, saying that she asked Wu Niang to pick out some good paper and ink pigments or something, and draw a picture for her?" How? Do you have to take care of all of this? β
"Wu Niang, is it true?" Liu asked suspiciously.
Mu Shuangcheng nodded apprehensively.
Liu Shi looked at Mu Changfeng, then at Mu Shuang, and asked coldly, "Second Master, you gave her this silver, right?" You only have this one daughter, right? β
The silver given by Erlang's daughter-in-law.
What a liar!
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Changfeng looked displeased, "It was originally given by Erlang's daughter-in-law!" Unbelief. You go and ask Erlang's daughter-in-law tomorrow. β
"Okay, that's what you said." Liu grabbed the money bag and walked out angrily.
As soon as she walked to the courtyard, she met Mu Yunchao, who saw Liu walking out angrily, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Mother, where are you going?" β
"You leave me alone." Liu pushed him away angrily and said angrily, "Today I must get to the bottom of this matter, the silver in your fifth sister's hand." In the end, it was given by your second sister-in-law. Or did your father give it privately. β
Mu Changfeng also rushed out of the house in a hurry, grabbed her, and said, "Please don't make trouble, can't I give it to you?" This child grew up from a young age. It didn't cost me a penny to earn. I don't want to go. Thinking that he had a few pieces of silver in hand, he wanted to give her some and do his best to be a father. β
Mu Yunchao heard this. Turn around and go.
Mu Shuang sat on the bed tremblingly, listening to the noise outside, and couldn't help but burst into tears, in this world, she is a superfluous person, perhaps, she should not have come to this world in the first place......
"Mu Changfeng, speaking of which, you still can't forget that vixen, right?" Liu said angrily, "Isn't San Lang Shilang Si Niang your child?" Why do you think about giving your daughter flowers when you have the money? β
"San Lang, they have you to take care of them, do they still use my cΔo heart? It's Wu Niang, since she was a child, how many times have you given her a good look? She's just a child, what's her guilt about? The more Mu Changfeng spoke, the more excited he became, "Don't think you don't know your meanness, what did you look like when Wu Niang saw you?" β
"Mu Changfeng, you have no conscience, you are secretly eating the wild seeds you gave birth to outside, do you want me to hold her in your hand and offer it?" Liu stomped his feet angrily, "Then don't think I don't know that little slut you are hiding in the back street, is it waiting for that little slut to give birth to a child, and you will bring it back and let me raise it for you?" I sue you, there is no door, see if I don't sue sΓΉ mother, and then send your little slut away. β
"Shut up for me, what are you yelling about?" Mu Changfeng stepped forward to cover her mouth angrily and warned, "You idiot, do you think your family is not messy enough, or do you want me to be ruined?" β
If his mother had found out about this, she might have beaten him to death with a cane.
He finally got the errand of the head of the military department, if there is a scandal about his outer room at this time, there will be people with ulterior motives to participate in him, then wouldn't his career be hopeless?
Liu suddenly came to his senses and shook him off: "You also know that you are afraid!" If I don't sue my mother, you have to promise me two conditions. β
"On what terms?" Mu Changfeng asked angrily, and there were two more.
"You must promise me that you will not allow that woman to give birth." Liu said through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry about this, I'll send her away in a few days." Mu Changfeng replied without thinking, "If you sue your mother, the matter will be big, and it will not be good for you and me." β
He's just trying to be fresh.
I don't really want to live with an outroom.
"Also, you have to promise Saburo's family affairs." Seeing that he took the initiative to send Linglong away, Liu's tone became softened, and he simply dragged him back to the house, and said, "You don't want to listen to your mother in everything, think about it, if it weren't for Miss Chen's secret illness, it wouldn't be our turn!" Besides, marrying the Chen Mansion is considered a high climb for us, but Miss Chen is sick, so naturally it is another matter, what is going on with Prime Minister Chen, he has to weigh it well, and make plans for his daughter in the future, just by virtue of this, he will definitely not treat San Lang badly, besides, this is what San Lang himself wants, why don't we do it? β
Mu Changfeng had an epiphany.
Seeing that Mu Changfeng was moved, the Liu family didn't care about pursuing the money bag, so he simply continued to analyze the benefits brought by this family affair to his family.
Mu Changfeng nodded again and again: "I'll persuade my mother again, as long as San Lang is willing, we will be the elders." "Anyway, as long as she doesn't poke his things out.
Two days later, Mu Yunting came back from the court, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Shen Qingli mysteriously: "Guess, what kind of secret disease does Miss Chen Er have?" (To be continued......)
