"Of course it's a wife." Shen Qingli was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Why would my brother and sister ask like this?" ”

Can the daughter of the dignified Yongding Marquis marry someone else as a concubine?

Mu Yao's face suddenly changed.

Maybe I can't compare to the eldest sister after all, the eldest sister is also the eldest daughter in the house, even if she remarries, she can marry a wife, and she is raised by her aunt after all.

"But just now I saw that Chen Gongzi is five big and three thick, and he is about the same age as our father-in-law!" Su Ruyi said clearly.

Shen Qingli suddenly cried and laughed: "My brother and sister must have seen it wrong, maybe it's the master of the in-laws." ”

The parents are all fathers who accompany their sons to the woman's employment, and the age is not about the same as that of the father-in-law.

Mu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Peony lifted the curtain and walked in, and respectfully stepped forward to salute: "The second young lady, the second young lady, the fifth young grandmother, and Mrs. Tai have gone to Changfeng Hall, let the slave come back and send the second lady back to Shumei Garden, and said that let the second young lady and the fifth young grandmother hurry up to Changfeng Hall, and the feast is about to begin." ”

"Grandmother won't even be with us." Su Ruyi stuck out her tongue.

"My grandmother and father accompanied my in-laws and son-in-law, so it is inconvenient to go with us." Shen Qingli smiled, turned his head to Mu Yao and said, "I'll send my second sister back!" ”

"Don't bother the second sister-in-law, just let Peony send me back." came on a trip, but didn't see that person, Mu Yao was inevitably a little stunned in her heart, or as Su Ruyi said, she went to be a concubine for others, so her grandmother deliberately didn't let her see it.

For a while, her heart had turned a thousand times, and even some thoughts were lost.

Perhaps, she shouldn't have agreed to this family affair in the first place, she should have lived her whole life.

"Let's go! It just so happens that I don't like the hustle and bustle, so I'll go back later. Shen Qingli saw her preoccupied look, and comforted, "Second sister, don't worry, I will help you take a good look at each other." ”

"That's it, second sister, don't worry, I'm going to help you take a look at that Chen Gongzi to see if he is a handsome son." Su Ruyi said, and ran towards Changfeng Hall with vigorous footsteps.

Coming out of Shumei Garden, Shen Qingli entered Changfeng Hall, went to the table and sat down slightly, seeing that the Huangfu family and the Su family were chatting happily with the female dependents, and they couldn't interject anything, so they put down their chopsticks, got up and walked out, early this morning, Xu Mama of Yiqing Garden sent someone to call all the people in Qingxin Garden to the kitchen of Changfeng Hall to help, so far she hasn't seen A Qi and A Shu painting a few of them!

The kitchen is in the side courtyard of Changfeng Hall, and there are more than a dozen side rooms, all of which are crowded at this time, a busy scene, as soon as you enter the arch, you only feel a heat wave hit, Shen Qingli couldn't help but take a handkerchief and fan the wind, and asked the kitchen steward, only to find A painting and A Shu in a side room on the side. The two got an errand to boil water, Ah Shu watched the fire, and Ah Hua sweated profusely with a scoop to scoop the water in the pot into the dozens of kettles in front of him, and the room was full of white water vapor.

The kitchen steward was a middle-aged servant woman, and she knew that the two people who boiled the water were the people of the second young lady, so she accompanied her with a smiling face and said: "Second young lady, this errand is easy in the kitchen, the second young lady can rest assured, once the staff is withdrawn, they will immediately let them go back to serve the second young lady." ”

"Second young lady, don't worry, this work is not tiring, but it is a little hot in the house." Ah Hua said in a rough voice while wiping his sweat.

Shen Qingli nodded, and asked again, "What about Ah Qi?" ”

"Sister Aqi has been out for a while, and I don't know where to go!" Ah Hua wiped his sweat again.

Shen Qingli didn't care, so he retreated from the kitchen, walked slowly towards the backyard around the path of the side courtyard, passed by the front yard, and saw that there were people coming and going, knowing that Mu Yunting was inside, it was not easy to go over to find him, so he had to walk along the silent path.

Looking at the two figures in the bushes from a distance, he could vaguely hear the voices of a man and a woman, the voice was somewhat familiar, and more importantly, the two seemed to be arguing, Shen Qingli couldn't help but pull out the bushes and look again, but the two figures disappeared.

Shen Qingli was suddenly surprised, if Situ Kong didn't come today, she wouldn't be suspicious, but today she was in danger of saving her life, and if she encountered something strange, she had to be vigilant, so she immediately went back to the kitchen and shouted Ah Hua out, and explained a few words, asking her to find out who those two in the bushes were, Ah Hua had already boiled enough water, and when she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she rolled up her sleeves and entered the bushes.

Shen Qingli returned to the backyard, quietly sat in his place, and continued to eat.

On the front yard, Mu Changyuan and Mu Yunche shuttled through the crowd to entertain guests, busy and happy.

Mu Yunting sat with the fourth prince Huangfu Zhuo to drink and chat, Huangfu Zhuo seemed to be drunk, raised his wine glass and said: "This time Saihan attacked Liangzhou, we quarreled, but Mu Da quietly stole all our limelight, in this way, Mu Da turned into the backbone of the Empress Dowager again, how can you make us royal descendants?" ”

"Your Highness laughed, the lower official just made a mistake and happened to guess correctly." Mu Yunting picked up the wine glass, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Actually, I still admire Your Highness very much from the bottom of my heart, in times of crisis, His Highness dared to stand up and insist on leading the troops to fight the enemy, which is really commendable and lamentable." ”

Among the ten princes under the knee of Emperor Zhaowu, the crown prince is the eldest son, and the second prince is the concubine of the main palace, but it is a pity that he died at an early age, and the third prince has been weak and sick since childhood, and it is difficult to protect himself, let alone participate in political affairs, the fifth prince and the sixth prince were ordered to guard the imperial tomb in Yuzhou Town, and rarely return to Beijing, and the seventh prince is a complete nerd, hiding in his palace all day long to read and write, is a real two ears do not listen to things outside the window, and only read the sage book, the ninth prince and the tenth prince are twins, just eight years old.

Therefore, the fourth prince and the eighth prince were able to stand out, but it is a pity that the eighth prince was relegated to the field because the assassination of Mu Yao was exposed, and he has not come back yet.

At present, only the crown prince Funuo and the fourth prince Huang Fuzhuo are left in the court, and at present, Huangfu Zhuo's prestige in the court is much greater than that of the crown prince.

The ministers all like the four princes who rush forward when they encounter problems, and naturally they don't like the princes who only listen to other people's discussions and don't say anything themselves.

"Haha, Master Mu is serious, in fact, I just can't get used to the two pointing faces of King Jin and Grandpa Guo, as if my father is sick, and the government will collapse without them." Huangfu Zhuo put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of braised pork in his mouth and chewed it with relish, squinting his eyes and saying, "Who doesn't know, what they do is just to keep their glory and wealth." ”

Mu Yunting smiled and didn't squeak.

There are some things that Huangfu Zhuo can say, but he can't say, no matter what, Huangfu Zhuo is a king, and they are just courtiers.

At this time, Mu An quietly walked over and said, "Shizi, the master of the in-laws has been out for a long time and has not come back yet. ”

"It can't be lost, right? You just go out and look for it. Mu Yunting commanded.

"Yes." Mu An took the order to retreat, and walked along the path all the way, the old man of the in-laws came to the Hou Mansion for the first time, and withdrew from the banquet, so he naturally went to the clean room, and the clean room was a little far away, and it seemed that most of them were lost.

was thinking about it, but saw a cat in the bushes with a figure of five big and three thick, and seeing that the image was Ah Hua, he quietly walked over and asked, "Ah Hua, what are you doing here?" ”

When Ah Hua heard this, he was startled and hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't speak." ”

"What's the matter?" Mu An was about to probe, but was pressed by Ah Hua, "Don't look." ”

"What the hell is going on!" Mu An was annoyed and asked, "I'm here to find my in-laws, have you seen my in-laws?" ”

Seeing that he was about to get up again, Ah Hua pushed him to the ground again, and said in a rough voice: "See, you don't have to look for him, he will go back." ”

"Where the hell is he?" Mu An was completely angry, and knew that he couldn't beat the burly Ah Hua, so he had to lie on the ground and say angrily, "Why didn't I see it?" ”

"Alright, look at it now!" Ah Hua cat bent out of the bushes and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"What a person!" Mu An got up from the ground in annoyance, and when he looked up, he saw the two figures in front of him walking towards this side, it turned out to be Ah Qi and Chen Youfu, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Master of the family, you shouldn't be lost, right?" The prince specially asked his subordinates to come out to pick you up. ”

"I'm sorry, I went in the wrong direction, but luckily this lady sent me back." Chen Youfu smiled calmly.

Ah Qi said expressionlessly: "Since the master of the in-laws has someone to lead the way, the slave and maid have taken their leave." With that, he walked away.

Mu An didn't seem to notice anything, and said with a smile: "Master of the family, please come to the house." ”

When the feast was dispersed, Ah Hua whispered to Shen Qingli, saying that she saw Ah Qi and her in-laws hugging each other in the bushes, and they looked very affectionate.

Shen Qingli was taken aback when he heard that it was Ah Qi and Chen Youfu, how could the two of them be together, thought about it, and ordered, "Ah Hua, don't let others know about this matter anymore, do you know?" "Since they are hugging each other, it means that the two have a private relationship!

"The slave understands." Ah Hua hurriedly said, "When Mu An arrived in front of him, the slave didn't let him see it. Of course, she wasn't embarrassed to say that she knocked people to the ground.

At night, when Mu Yunting returned to the house, he was covered with the smell of wine, and he didn't take off his clothes, he fell asleep upside down, and he couldn't wake up when he screamed, Shen Qingli was helpless, and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to cook him a sobering soup, and then drank it when he woke up, and saw that he was so hot that he was sweating profusely, so he had to take off his coat for him, and then picked up the fan again, and gently fanned him, looking at his sleeping face, thinking of the events of the day, Shen Qingli only felt a grievance in his heart, and tears couldn't help but flow down......

Early the next morning, Mu Yunting woke up in a daze, turned over, habitually hugged the people around him into his arms, looked down, and saw that although Shen Qingli was still asleep, his face was full of tears, he thought she had a nightmare, so he shook her lightly and asked in a low voice, "Wanwan, what's wrong with you?" Is it a nightmare? ”R1152
