Chapter 289: Difficulty
"Nothing, just asking." Mu Yunchao smiled wryly.
According to the customs of the capital, if the two sons of the family marry in the same year, they must be staggered for 100 days, that is, if there is no accident, his marriage date is most likely set in June.
If a family like them encounters a national funeral, they are not allowed to marry within a year.
"You shouldn't know, don't ask!" Mu Yunting naturally knew what he was thinking, so he simply put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, glanced at Mu Yunchao, and said lightly, "Right now, you just have to study hard, it looks like it's about to take the autumn exam, and you still have the heart to think about this and that." β
"Second brother, it is important to study, but it is equally important to start a family." Mu Yunchao frowned, his face was full of the look that you are a full man and I don't know how hungry I am, and said, "I heard that my uncle didn't know where to go recently, so I left Cousin Sakura at home alone, which is also pitiful." β
"Where did my uncle go?" Mu Yunting asked.
"A few days ago, because of the resale of rocks, I didn't know where to go after I touched a nail at my uncle's place." Mu Yunchao sighed, "Right now, Cousin Sakura is alone at home, living by embroidering. β
Since the Huangfu clan took the Wu family sisters to live in the house, they no longer allocated money to Wu Shunde.
If a person has hands and feet, if he can't support himself, he always relies on other people's funding, what's the matter?
"You know clearly, when did you go to see her?" Mu Yunting got up and changed the plate of spicy fragrant duck in front of him to Tong Jingyi. Spicy fragrant duck is a specialty dish in Jingzhou, and Mu Yunting likes to eat it.
Therefore, every time there is a family banquet, the Huangfu family will ask Mu Yunting to make spicy fragrant duck in the kitchen, and the chef in the capital will not do it.
"Thank you, Shizi." Tong Jingyi felt a warm feeling in his heart, smiled at Mu Yunting, and continued to chat with Mu Yunche, in fact, he had nothing to talk about with Mu Yunche. Most of them are talking about some trivial matters in their respective yamen.
"A few days ago, I met people from the Wu family in the City God Temple. I chatted casually and found out. Mu Yunchao continued to sigh, "I heard that Cousin Sakura has been embroidering scriptures for the City God Temple recently to subsidize the family, so it's very difficult for her. β
Anyway. Wu Liying is always Mu Yunting's cousin. Now. My cousin is in trouble, and when I am a cousin, don't I have any compassion?
He knows. Mu Yunting has a lot of money.
Just the Zhuangzi under the name of the second sister-in-law has spent a lot of silver, although the current water tea house has not yet been completed, and there is no income for the time being, but just looking at the scale, the silver in the future will definitely not be less.
"What's so difficult about this, Cousin Sakura is self-reliant, virtuous and virtuous, this is her preciousness, if you treat her sincerely, you should study hard, and marry her back in a good manner." Mu Yunting didn't seem to hear his voice, and said disappreciatively, "Cousin Sakura is your fiancΓ©e, and you, as a man, should know how to protect your woman." β
If you always rely on others to help, then what will you do in the future?
Can he help them for a while, for a lifetime?
Mu Yunchao nodded thoughtfully, as if he had an epiphany.
Mu Changyuan and Mu Changfeng brothers sat on the main seat, they didn't know what they were chatting in a low voice, even Mu Changfeng's expression was extremely solemn, there were six men at a table, each chatting about their own, but the food didn't move much.
After the family banquet was dispersed, everyone gathered around the Huangfu clan and left the Changfeng Hall.
Shen Qingli originally wanted to walk back with Mu Yunting, but the Huangfu clan was not at ease, and insisted on sending her back in a soft sedan chair, saying that it was too dark, what if she fell down again?
He beckoned to Mama Chu.
Then, a soft sedan car then landed lightly in front of everyone.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Su's mouth.
When she was pregnant, Mrs. Tai had never been so careful.
In front of everyone, Shen Qingli couldn't refuse, so he had to sit in the sedan chair with the support of Mu Yunting, and the Huangfu clan repeatedly instructed: "Erlang, you must escort your daughter-in-law back to the house, and you must not have the slightest difference." β
"Grandmother rest assured, my second brother has traveled thousands of miles to escort military rations, and it is no problem to escort his daughter-in-law." Mu Yunchao quipped.
The crowd burst into laughter.
Liu Shi poked Mu Yunchao's shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Just your poor mouth." β
The Huangfu clan also smiled.
Although Liu's personality is not what she likes, the son she gave birth to is very pleasing.
After all, it is the descendants of her Mu family.
The soft sedan chair trembled and trembled out of the Changfeng Hall.
Mu Yunting followed alongside him step by step, Shen Qingli sat in the sedan chair and felt bored, although it was only a short distance, she felt that it was very long, knowing that Mu Yunting was outside, she opened the sedan curtain, poked her head out to look at him, and said, "Shizi, it's too dark inside, I want to walk back with you." β
"You'd better sit inside, you'll be there soon." Mu Yunting smiled, "If you accidentally fall, I will be scolded." β
"How could I possibly fall? I'm not a child. Shen Qingli glanced at him coquettishly, and shouted to stop, and the sedan chair slowly fell.
"You're a woman who is stubborn." Mu Yunting had to help her out of the sedan chair, and the two walked side by side by the blue water lake.
It's March.
The night breeze is still a little cool.
He took her slightly cool hand, lowered his head and asked with concern, "Have you eaten enough?" I don't think I use chopsticks much? Is it uncomfortable? β
"Why, I don't want to eat too much at night." Shen Qingli held his waist and smiled at him, "The child is about to be born, and it is not good to eat too much." β
"What's wrong?" He was a little puzzled, stepped forward and hugged her waist, and whispered, "Give me a big fat boy, fat for nothing, isn't it?" β
"The child is too big, it's not good to give birth, you don't know!" Shen Qingli said angrily, "You only want to have a big fat boy, but you don't think that I should not ...... when I give birth."
As soon as the words came out. Shen Qingli knew that she was hypocritical, but she didn't know why, she just wanted to find an awkward relationship with Mu Yunting, although she knew that the Huangfu family really loved her, cared about the child in her belly, changed her every day to make her food, and said that she wanted to raise the child fat, but she never thought about it, never said that the child was too big to give birth or anything like that.
She came to this other world. Although it is very favored in this Yongding Marquis Mansion. But she always felt lonely in her heart, she used to be with Mu Yunting Qin Se and Ming, this feeling was not common, and now she is pregnant. Especially when the due date is approaching. This feeling often comes to mind. She had no family to talk to......
Mu Yunting was obviously asked.
He really didn't expect that.
He thought that with his ability, he would definitely take the best care of his daughter-in-law and children, even if his daughter-in-law wanted to eat dragon liver and phoenix gall, he would find a way to get it for her.
But ignore if the child is too big. It will be a problem of bad production.
"Then, then you eat less in the future." Mu Yunting quickly figured it out, and said seriously, "Just let the kid in the belly not be hungry, but don't get fat, if you torture my daughter-in-law, see how I clean him up after he comes out." β
"Now that I know it's good, I just hope that the child is not too fat, but also too thin, and just healthy." Shen Qingli glanced at him coquettishly, "I'm just telling you, I'll control the amount of food myself." β
Thinking of the incorrect fetal position that Mrs. Chi said today, she was a little apprehensive in her heart.
In her previous life, she remembered that once she accompanied her best friend to take a pregnancy test, and the doctor also said that her fetal position was not correct, and told her a posture, saying that she should go home and do it, but she didn't even have a boyfriend at that time, and she was not very interested in these things, so naturally she didn't listen to what the doctor said.
After two or three days, when Chi Niangzi took the pulse, she still said that the fetal position was not correct, and said that if you wait and see, maybe it will be turned around before giving birth.
With her medical skills, in addition to being able to turn the child upside down during childbirth, she can't help it at the moment.
Even looking at the beams, I haven't heard of anyone who can turn the child in the womb upside down.
The Huangfu clan heard about it, but said with a smile: "It is said that the lady who is born is an official, and this child will definitely have a future in the future." β
Shen Qingli couldn't cry or laugh.
What a mess!
Why didn't anyone worry about her!
After thinking about it, I thought of Xu Zheng.
He's a doctor after all, and he might be able to help her.
When Mu Yunting came back from the next court, Shen Qingli mentioned Xu Zheng to Mu Yunting.
Mu Yunting was a little disapproving: "I admit that Xu Zheng has some medical skills, but he is a big man, and he still understands this?" β
Although Xu Zheng was arranged by him to treat Emperor Zhaowu in the Tai Hospital, he felt that although this person's medical skills were okay, they had not yet reached the point of being supernatural.
If not, how could Emperor Zhaowu not get back to the palace until now.
Speaking of Emperor Zhaowu, Mu Yunting's heart was in chaos again.
Depending on the situation, Emperor Zhaowu won't be able to last long.
"It is always said that if you are sick and go to the doctor, it is always right to invite more people to come." Shen Qingli saw that Mu Yunting didn't seem to be willing to let Xu Zheng come, so he was a little unhappy and said, "You shouldn't have the prejudice of men and women in your heart!" β
If she proposed to let Imperial Physician Chang come to show her, Mu Yunting would definitely agree, not because she felt that Xu Zheng was also a gentleman, so she didn't want to invite her in to show her.
"Little woman!" Mu Yunting pinched her nose and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go and invite Xu Zheng back for you tomorrow!"
"That's pretty much it." Shen Qingli glanced at him coquettishly.
While the two were talking, Gong Si stood outside the door and said, "Shizi, Zhou Shun is back and is waiting for Shizi in the study." β
Shen Qingli's eyes lit up.
Could it be that Zhou Shun brought Yuan Dong'er back!
"I'll take a look." Mu Yunting strode out, Shen Qingli had already told him all the reasons for the incident, so as soon as he came back, he sent someone to contact Zhou Shun and explain some other things by the way.
Otherwise, Zhou Shun would have returned from Jingzhou a long time ago.
The second floor of the study.
Zhou Shun saw Mu Yunting, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, my subordinates have brought Yuan Dong'er back safely." β
"Just now, my subordinates sent her back to the back mountain." Gong Si said, "She didn't know what happened at all, but she still knew Mama Feng when she saw her." β
Mu Yunting nodded, and asked again: "Zhou Shun, I asked you to find out about things, how did you find out?"
He knew very well that the assassination of Emperor Zhaowu this time must have been planned by Situ Kong.
Also, the lord of Rosewood came to Daliang this time, who was the internal response to her, and if there was no internal response, how could she enter the country dressed up as a businessman in a grand manner.
"Shizi, my subordinates obeyed the instructions of the young lady and asked the Jingzhou defenders to stop the county lord of Rosewood and save Yuan Dong'er, but then the lord of Rosewood and others also left safely, it was a misunderstanding that someone from Youzhou came to bail and said that the lord of Rosewood was a merchant on his side." Zhou Shun continued expressionlessly, "The subordinates went to Youzhou to secretly investigate, and the mastermind behind the scenes is a tea garden owner named Shen Ke, this person lives in a simple place, has a low-key nature, and has a two- or three-year-old daughter under his knees, and his subordinates have left eyeliner to follow him in secret. β
Gong Si was secretly taken aback.
Shen Ke was secretly saved by Mu Yunting, and after several twists and turns, he was arranged to settle down in Youzhou, and some time ago, he also sent Taozhi and Kexin to him, so that he could enjoy his family.
Such a great kindness, but he didn't know how to cherish it.
It's still unclear about Situ Kong!
Mu Yunting's eyes darkened, he endured the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I know, you can lead your people back to the Bingzhou military camp now!" If anything, I'll send someone to inform you. β
"Yes!" Zhou retreated.
"Shizi, this ......" Gong Si didn't know what to say.
After all, Shen Ke is Shen Qingli's brother-in-law, and he is Mu Yunting's brother-in-law.
"Remember, this matter must not be known to the young lady." Mu Yunting thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "When I think about it, I'll tell you how to solve this matter." β
"Yes." Gong Si nodded in response.
Mu An came in to serve tea.
Seeing that both of them had solemn faces, they hurriedly put down the tea bowl and retreated silently.
Mu Yunting pinched his eyebrows, picked up the tea, took a sip, and seemed to remember something, so he got up and spread out the pen and paper, wrote a few lines carefully and repeatedly, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Gong Si: "Gong Si, you will leave for Yuzhou tomorrow, go to the Yuzhou military camp to find General Xu, give him this letter, and ask him to transfer Chen Yutang back to Jingzhou, the sooner the better." β
"Shizi, you haven't replied to General Xu's request for you last month! Gong Si reminded.
General Xu's brother-in-law Gao Ge's family has been making wine for generations, and he is well-known in Yuzhou, and a few days ago he went to Beijing to ask for Mu Yunting, and wanted Mu Yunting to help introduce a eunuch in the palace to see if he could send the Gao family's wine to the palace.
Mu Yunting saw it for General Xu's sake, and promised to help him be accommodating, but before he had time to deal with the matter, he suddenly received an order to escort the military rations to the state.
This matter has not been done until now.
"These are two different things, you can just go and deliver the letter." Mu Yunting said indifferently, "Now that the emperor has been assassinated, his life is on the verge of death, how can there be any interest in introducing new wine in the palace, General Xu will not know about it, and besides, he knows me, and he owes him a favor, and he will definitely pay it back in the future." β
Gong Si took the order and left.
After returning to the inner garden, Shen Qingli hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Shizi, did Zhou Shun bring Yuan Dong'er back?" β
"Well, Yuan Dong'er has returned." Mu Yunting took her hand, sat down on the big kang near the window, and said in a deep voice, "Wanwan, you see that Taozhi and Kexin have been in Youzhou for so long, why don't you take them back to live for a while!" (To be continued......)
