When Xiao Yuning came back, Mu Zhiling hurriedly grabbed her.

"Mother, is Daddy coming back soon?" Mu Zhiling grabbed Xiao Yuning's cuffs and asked nervously.

Xiao Yuning lowered her eyes, saw the anxious look on her face that could not be hidden, and asked, "Why did Ling'er ask like this?" Your father wrote back the day before yesterday, saying that he would leave the barracks today and would probably be back early tomorrow morning. ”

Mu Zhiling lowered her head and was depressed when she heard this.

Xiao Yuning raised her hand to stroke Mu Zhiling's forehead, brushed away the hair at the corner of her forehead, and said, "Ling'er, what's wrong?" If there is anything, don't hold back, tell your mother. ”

Mu Zhiling barely squeezed out a natural smile and said, "It's okay mother, I just miss my father, my father has been gone for almost two months and hasn't come back, and he used to come back in a month." ”

Xiao Yuning quietly patted Mu Zhiling's shoulder.

His eyes stared at Mu Zhiling's delicate little face for a moment, staring at her curled and thick eyelashes, and sighed secretly.

She's just afraid it's not as simple as just thinking about her father.

The daughter who is almost as tall as her shoulders in front of her is no longer a little cute baby who can only nest in her arms and only be coquettish, her millet has grown into a big girl with a lot of worries.

Xiao Yuning's heart is complicated, and he doesn't know whether to be happy or lost.

Last night, Ling'er said that she had lived two lives, so what did she experience in her last life, and why didn't she want to talk to her in detail.

I'm afraid that last night she told herself that she had the memory of two lives, and she was only forced to do so.

Mu Zhiling returned to Begonia Garden and sat all day.

At the autumn banquet in the previous life, my father was drunk by my uncle, and she didn't know what happened next, but her mother moved in with her in anger, and then remembered that there was a woman who moved to the Yingguo Mansion...... Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that my father will be drunk......

The relationship between my father and my mother is so deep, I guess it was calculated!

Even if it was calculated, it also caused the relationship between my father and mother to break down......

Therefore, she didn't want her father to return home, at least not too late after the autumn banquet.

Anyway, on the grounds that there are many things in the army, no one will dare to say anything.

But she still said it was too late.

If I had remembered earlier, I would have been able to bring my father back later.

Now it seems that I have to be more cautious during the autumn banquet.

Early the next morning, Mu Zhixuan came to Begonia Garden early in the morning with autumn oranges.

She was still outside, and her voice had already penetrated the thick walls and reached Mu Zhiling's ears: "Fifth sister, are you up?" ”

There was joy in the voice.

Mu Zhiling had already finished washing up and was playing with the shells in the house. The thick soles of the shells were on her palms, and while she was not paying attention, the other foot was on her arm, and Mu Zhiling staggered backwards with an unsteady look.

Hearing Mu Zhixuan's voice, he turned around.

Mu Zhixuan seemed to be in a good mood, she ordered Qiu Ju and Jin Qiao to wait outside the door, closed the door and said to Mu Zhiling: "Fifth sister, I heard the maid in the fourth room whispering there today, guess what I heard?" I heard that Mu Zhishuang cried all night last night, crying heartbreakingly, and finally Jiang had no choice but to order someone to carry her to her room. I didn't expect her to be so timid, it's really relieving! ”

Mu Zhixuan smiled from ear to ear, completely losing her usual gentle and virtuous appearance.

Mu Zhiling's face had a faint expression, and she couldn't see any emotion.

Mu Zhixuan was a little unhappy, and said dissatisfiedly: "Fifth sister, how can you listen to the appearance that it doesn't matter what you do?" ”

Mu Zhiling said, "What is there to be happy about? My happiness doesn't need her sadness to fulfill it. ”

Whether a person is happy or not depends not on how painful the people she hates, but how happy the people she cares about.

What's more, she doesn't hate Mu Zhishuang.

A person who has no scheming and is used by others, why should he take it seriously.

What she should really be thinking about is Mu Zhishu instead of Mu Zhishuang.

Seeing that Mu Zhiling's eyes dimmed, Mu Zhixuan suddenly said: "Fifth sister, in a few days of the autumn banquet, let's pick a beautiful cloth in a while, and let the garment makers make one, okay?" Grandmother personally instructed her yesterday. ”

Mu Zhiling was not interested in the autumn banquet, but it was not good to dismiss Mu Zhixuan's intentions, so she had to nod.

Mu Zhixuan picked a garnet-red golden silk soft smoke, but the moment she picked it up, a pair of hands like white jade came over and pressed it on Mu Zhixuan's hand, Mu Zhixuan raised her eyes and saw Mu Zhishu beside her, her face stiffened slightly.

"The third sister has a really good eye, and picked this piece of golden silk soft smoke from the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, it is garnet red, which looks dignified and luxurious, and it makes the skin of the third sister flawless. Mu Zhishu's hand pressing on Mu Zhixuan's wrist gradually withdrew its strength and caressed the brocade instead.

With a smile on her face, Mu Zhiling clearly saw the reluctance to hold back from her eyes.

In her previous life, Mu Zhishu fell in love with this fabric, and Mu Zhixuan just chose the most inconspicuous ice blue brocade.

How has it changed now?

In order to show her virtuousness and humility, Mu Zhishu endured the pain and chose a snow spun yarn from the side, while the eldest sister Mu Zhilan standing beside her smiled gently as always, nodded to Mu Zhiling and Mu Zhixuan, and picked a monotonous green Shu brocade.

Mu Zhiling randomly picked the blue brocade of the lake for a year.

Mrs. Mu specially instructed several sisters of the Mu family to choose clothes, these are all good materials, just to make them shine at the autumn banquet, and then they can find a good in-law for them.

I remember that in the autumn banquet of the previous life, most of the civil and military officials in Kyoto, who were extremely high in the rank of the fifth rank or above, came to participate.

Among them, there are many amazing Confucian sons or rookies in the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhiling was a little afraid.

She doesn't want to find a husband for herself in a daze, just like the marriage in her previous life, she can't afford it and doesn't dare to ask for it.

Now she has no intention of getting married.

Mu Zhiling was a little distracted, and she didn't even notice when Mu Zhishu and Mu Zhilan left, until Mu Zhixuan pulled the corner of her clothes, and then she came back to her senses.

"Fifth sister, you haven't been listless lately, are you feeling unwell?"

Mu Zhixuan frowned, looking at Mu Zhiling with a bit of inquiry in her eyes.

"No, Sister Xuan doesn't have to worry, I'm fine."

"That's good, it's just that I've been depressed for the past few days, is there anything bothering? If so, tell me about the fifth sister, I will always be the best listener of the fifth sister. Mu Zhixuan reached out and held Mu Zhiling's fingers and said firmly.

Then she pulled her hand high, and the wrists of the two of them showed the emerald jade bracelet at the same time, and Mu Zhixuan continued: "Fifth sister, you see, we should be like them, aren't we?" ”

This is the bracelet that Mrs. Mu gave to the two five years ago.

Mu Zhiling raised her head and met Mu Zhixuan's bright eyes, her words floated into her ears, but fell into her heart.

She couldn't help but clench Mu Zhixuan's hand tighter with her backhand, suddenly raised a smile, nodded fiercely, and said, "Hmm! ”

The bottom of the heart is soft and a little sweet.

But the moment Mu Zhiling turned around, Mu Zhixuan immediately hid the smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes suddenly became cold.
