Chapter 121: Surprise
Since Princess Ninghe's identity has been discovered, she can't continue to pretend.
When the Mu family learned of this news, they treated Princess Ning He as their guests.
When Princess Ning and Princess changed back into women's clothes, the maid in the long room sent a short cotton jacket inlaid with gold wire, which was her favorite red on weekdays. Not only is the color gorgeous, but it is also really warm when worn on the body.
Princess Ning He glanced at the thing in the maid's arms lightly, pursed her mouth, and said, "Little Wu, what about the jacket you talked about last time?" I want to wear something like that, does it fit me? β
Mu Zhiling was a little embarrassed, and asked the maid to put down the palace dress, and said, "Princess, I'm only afraid of ...... for a while."
She didn't expect Princess Ning He to suddenly come to the Mu Mansion at all, she was unprepared. If you take it from the east of the city, you won't be able to get it for a while.
Princess Ning He understood, twisted the palace costume with two fingers in disgust, and muttered: "I really don't understand, why do you have to dress like this." I thought that the outside of the palace was much better than the palace, but now it seems that they are all pedantic. I'll just put it on. β
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was Mu Yu's fault, and Princess Ninghe said indignantly: "Xiao Wu, if it weren't for your brother, there wouldn't have been so many incidents." Recognize it yourself, why do you have to make everyone know. β
Mu Zhiling smiled faintly.
It is not unreasonable for my brother to do this, how can Princess Ning He stay in the Mu family as a man, let alone in her boudoir.
To this day, she still has a feeling of being in a different world.
Someone she hadn't seen at all in her previous life was now in her boudoir.
In this life, many things have changed.
Whether it is Princess Ninghe, or her brother, or her mother and father......
"Little Five. Even if he is your brother, this palace will still not let him go, and you don't have to intercede for him when the time comes...... It just so happens that staying in the palace is too boring, so it's better to ......"
Princess Ning He said to herself, and noticed that Mu Zhiling was not listening at all, so she said, "Mu Xiaowu, are you listening to me?" β
Mu Zhiling's body trembled. Hurriedly turned around. "Princess, what did you say?" β
Princess Ning He waved her hand and said, "That's it." Even if I look at your soulless appearance this day, I can't be angry. β
She took Mu Zhiling's hand and walked out of the courtyard, and when she walked to Yulan Zhai, she saw Mu Zhishu and Mu Zhishuang from a distance.
Mu Zhishu stopped. Chao Ning and the princess saluted slightly.
Princess Ning He squinted and looked down at Mu Zhishu condescendingly. said: "Do you know why the crown princess was angry with you that day?" β
Mu Zhishuang raised her eyes, her face was horizontal, and she said contemptuously: "Of course she hates my second sister......"
"But this palace told you to say it?" Ning Ning and the princess interrupted Mu Zhishuang's words.
Mu Zhishuang shut up dissatisfiedly.
"The courtiers are dull and don't know." Mu Zhishu squinted at Mu Zhishuang. Xu is body has been squatting for too long, and he is trembling slightly, and his voice is also a little trembling.
Princess Ning and Princess Ning took a step forward. Said: "I used to be able to speak, but I thought I was dumb before...... Don't speak when it's time to speak. People who shouldn't be talking always want to speak out, and they deserve to be beaten by that person. β
Mu Zhiling stood behind Princess Ning He, left in a hurry, walked a few steps and turned around, and saw that Mu Zhishu was still half-squatting in place.
Lips tightly closed.
Mu Zhishu is such a person, if she is angry or hates someone, then she will keep her mouth shut and will not say a word.
In his previous life, because of this, he was praised by Mrs. Mu, but now he was slapped in vain.
At the time of the dinner, the banquet was set up in imitation of the scene of the palace banquet, and the position in the middle of the hall was vacant, specially prepared for Princess Ning He.
Princess Ning He pulled Mu Zhiling and walked straight towards the top of the hall.
Mu Zhiling stood behind her timidly, after all, this was in the Mu family, and neither Mrs. Mu nor Old Man Mu sat on the top, but now this position was originally Princess Ninghe's, but she was pulled to sit up.
Ten fingers intertwined, Mu Zhiling lowered her head, trying not to look at the gazes cast around.
Mu Zhishuang glared at Mu Zhiling angrily, and complained in a low voice: "Second sister, why can Mu Zhiling sit there, that's where the princess sits." β
Mu Zhishu turned her head impatiently and stared at her coldly.
For the first time, his gaze was so cold, even with some disgust and anger.
How could she not have noticed that Mu Zhishuang was so stupid before.
What to say and what not to say, she said it all.
Now her anger can only be vented on Mu Zhishuang.
After the dinner, the annex on the other side of Zhilin Hutong was prepared for Ning and the princess, but Ning and the princess had to live in Mu Zhiling's Begonia Garden.
Back at Begonia Garden, Princess Ning He pulled Mu Zhiling to the edge of the bed and sat down, her eyes wide open.
Her eyes were large, round, and shining in the light of the candle flame, making people a little unable to take their eyes off it.
The corners of his mouth raised a wicked smile, and said, "Little Wu, what is your brother's specialty?" β
Mu Zhiling didn't react to Princess Ninghe's words for a while, her body was stunned, and she asked, "Why did the princess suddenly ask like this?" β
Princess Ning He pretended to be mysterious and said, "You just need to sue me." β
Although Mu Zhiling was a little confused, she also said one by one: "My brother is good at poetry and painting, and he has also dabbled in various musical instruments, but the most powerful thing is painting. β
Princess Ning He nodded meaningfully.
Mu Zhiling froze in place, but Princess Ning He stood up and left.
The mood seems to be very relaxed.
The next day, Ning and the princess returned to the palace and took a few so-called duck down jackets from Mu Zhiling before leaving.
The moment she walked into the carriage, Mu Zhiling raised the curtain and looked at Mu Yu standing outside the gate, with a dark and inexplicable smile on her face.
She, Song Ning, is a person who will repay her.
Mu Zhiling walked to the side of the carriage and watched the carriage move slowly, and she actually felt a little nostalgic.
Back in the yard.
In the afternoon, Mu Zongsheng invited Mu Zongze to have a drink in Tingfeng Pavilion.
Mu Zongsheng personally poured wine for Mu Zongze, but Mu Zongze didn't go to stop him, but just sat opposite Mu Zongsheng, with a faint expression on his face.
After straightening his clothes, Mu Zongsheng looked at the white expanse outside the window. He turned his head to look at Mu Zongze again, and said, "Third brother, you and I haven't eaten and drunk like this for many years. β
The corners of Mu Zongze's mouth hooked, and said: "Where is the eldest brother, the three of us brothers drank together during the autumn banquet, and the younger brother remembers that he was drunk at that time, and he didn't know what happened later." β
Mu Zongsheng heard this. The hand on the table tightened. His face was extremely natural, and he said with a smile: "That's different, it's with the fourth brother." Now the fourth brother is not in the fuss all day long. Just the two of us, let's have a good drink. The eldest brother is happy today, but don't spoil the fun with the third brother. β
With that, he raised the wine bottle. said: "Come, big brother will do it first." β
Mu Zongze hesitated for a long time, and then raised his glass. Drunk.
Mu Zongsheng will not do the same thing a second time, which is also the shrewdness of his eldest brother.
Therefore this wine cannot be as ...... as it was three months ago.
After drinking two or three cups each, Mu Zongsheng suddenly patted Mu Zongze on the shoulder. said: "Third brother, the eldest brother has something to say that I don't know whether to say or not?" β
Mu Zongze said with a smile: "If the eldest brother has anything to say, between our brothers." Shouldn't it be something to say? β
It's more like a joke to say this to someone who is trying to frame him.
Mu Zongsheng paused. Said: "Third brother, although the eldest brother has not been at home all these years, I don't know what happened at home, and he doesn't want to sue me if I ask the fourth brother...... Don't be angry after you hear these words, the eldest brother is also for your own good, for the sake of the entire Mu family. β
"Big brother, but it's okay to say, how can you blame your brother for being a younger brother?"
Mu Zongsheng stroked his beard, and said with a solemn expression: "Since ancient times, this woman should follow the three obedience and four virtues, although she is already a wife, but the eldest brother thinks it is better to show her face less." Now the entire Mu family's property has been handed over to the third brother and sister, the third brother and sister are just a woman's family, not to mention whether she can afford such a heavy burden as a woman. But a famous family like our Mu family wants a woman to stand up for the faΓ§ade, what kind of system is this. In addition, I have heard that the Mu family's property has recently closed for a small ......."
Mu Zongze raised his eyebrows, his thin lips opened lightly, and said, "This is what my mother meant, not what my little brother meant." Besides, does the eldest brother think that there is a more suitable person in this house now? β
Mu Zongsheng frowned and said, "Third brother, it's not that you don't know that my mother is now old, and she occasionally makes mistakes. Although the fourth child is a little muddy, he is measured in major matters, even if he has many problems, but the Mu family's family business is in his hands, and it will not make people talk nonsense. lest people say that there is no one in our Mu family, and we have to rely on a woman to save face. β
Mu Zongze put down the wine bottle and said word by word: "I believe in her, whoever dares to say it will let him say it in front of me." β
His woman, of course he had to believe.
After Mu Zongsheng heard this, his brows furrowed deeply, and he said with a slight reprimand: "Even you don't mind this, but do you know what she did yesterday?" She took back the red envelopes I had prepared, and showed no mercy to my eldest brother. β
Mu Zongze raised his eyes carelessly and said, "So what? β
Mu Zongsheng looked at her in disbelief, got up suddenly, slapped the table, and said, "What kind of bastard are you talking about, how can you be such nonsense from an insider." Do you still have me as a big brother in your eyes? β
Mu Zongsheng felt bitter and sarcastic in his heart.
Eldest brother......
"You're my big brother, and that's never changed."
After all, they have the same blood on their bodies, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.
Mu Zongsheng turned his back to Mu Zongze and said: "Anyway, I don't want this family to be ruined in her hands like this, if something really goes wrong at that time, I hope that the third brother will not protect his shortcomings." β
Mu Zongsheng brushed his sleeves away.
Mu Zongze snorted coldly, don't protect the short?
As a man, he can't even protect his wife and children, so what kind of man is that......
β¦β¦
The depths of winter are getting colder and colder.
Because of the burning of the earth dragon, the house is exceptionally warm.
But the shell liked the cold weather very much, and it ran excitedly around the yard, its thick hind feet bounced up piles of snow, and seemed to roar in contentment.
Mu Zhiling stood in place, not feeling too cold, but her cheeks were red.
"Miss, it's cold, you better go in." Cuiliu said worriedly on the side, the young lady has been standing outside the door for an hour, how can she compare with the shell.
"I'm not cold, if you're cold, go into the house to keep warm. After staying in the house for a long time, I wanted to come out to breathe. β
Mu Zhiling turned to look at Cuiliu.
She didn't know why she was standing here, maybe her mother told her early this morning that she had a surprise.
When she looked into the courtyard again, it took a while to find the shells.
The shells were already snow-white, but now they really blend with the snow.
The shell is a snow mastiff with the noblest bloodline among Tibetan mastiffs. Most Tibetan mastiffs live in cold places, and few people in the Great Jin Dynasty know a behemoth of this size.
At this moment, a familiar and unfamiliar figure suddenly appeared outside the hospital.
Mu Zhiling looked at it, the man hid his face in a turban, wore a gray and worn-colored short shirt, and suddenly stopped outside the courtyard gate.
Sensing someone approaching, the shell stopped, stuck out his tongue and gasped, and walked towards the courtyard gate.
"Fifth Miss......" the man stopped and said in a hoarse voice.
Xu was because the snow was too thick, and the person's voice was weakened a lot, but Mu Zhiling did not hear the person's words.
She walked towards her, and with each step, the man's face became clearer.
That person was clearly -
Moon eyebrows!
The surprise that my mother said yesterday is this?
It was nothing short of shocking......
I remember that my mother said that she married a seriously ill man, Chongxi, and she also fantasized that Yuemei is doing well now.
When she left, she was clearly still a big girl with a delicate face, and when she saw it again, she was so down.
Mu Zhiling trembled, but Yuemei knelt on the snow and sobbed: "Fifth Miss ......"
This time Mu Zhiling heard clearly, she bent down to help her up, still a little unable to believe her eyes, and said, "Yuemei? β
Tears almost welled up in Yuemei's eyes, and she choked up: "Fifth Miss, yes...... Slaves. β
Cuiliu saw who the person was, and ran out with a jump, holding the hand that was frozen red and purple with the moon eyebrows, and the originally slender and slender hand was now red and swollen.
Cuiliu said excitedly: "Yuemei, I didn't expect you to come back!" β
Mu Zhiling was relieved at this time, and said, "Let's go into the house first, it's cold outside." β
Yuemei followed into the house, and Mu Zhiling instructed Cuiliu to find a piece of her own clothes for her to change for her. He also instructed Mingxiang and Luzhu to prepare hot water for bathing.
Mingxiang and Luzhu looked at each other and left one after another.
Halfway through, Lu Zhu suddenly pulled Mingxiang and said, "Look at her like that, wearing coarse cloth short clothes, how awkward it looks, I really don't know why Miss is so good to her?" β
Mingxiang said with a lack of interest: "Let's be subordinates, just do what Miss tells us, and do so much." β
Lu Zhu nodded in agreement, suddenly raised her head again, and said: "I'm just a little curious, that person is obviously the newly recruited slave maid from Madame, but why is she treated better than a first-class maid when she comes." There was a green willow pressing on it before, and I also recognized it. Why did this come to this, and it also weighed on our heads, when will we be first-class maids......"
Mingxiang hung her head and said, "I think it's good that the Mu family can contain us, and I don't expect too much." β
Lu Zhu glanced at Ming Xiang contemptuously and said, "No ......" (to be continued) R466
