In the morning, two magpies flew in the courtyard of Muying Hall.

Standing on the branches chirping.

Mama Chu lifted the curtain and entered the house, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai, it seems that even the magpie knows that the prince is coming back today, so he rushed over in advance to report the news!" ”

In the past two days, the Huangfu clan began to fidgeting and counting the days, and from time to time sent Mu Changyuan to the palace to inquire about the news, lest anything change.

Last night, Mu Changyuan swore that the Queen Mother said that she would let Mu Yunting out of the palace early tomorrow morning.

Only then did the Huangfu clan completely put their minds at ease.

Although it has only been half a month, she feels like she has been in the past for a long time because of the turmoil.

"Go and tell Su Shi to let her prepare a family banquet at noon and pick up the wind and wash the dust for Brother Yuan'er." Huangfu looked in the mirror, carefully curled the new white hair on his forehead under the hairpin ring, it seems that there is more white hair recently, it is really old!

"The slave maid just went to pass the word, how dare the slave and maid forget such a big thing?" Mama Chu smiled, then stepped forward to take the gold hairpin in the jewelry box and pinned it to her sideburns, covering the white hair, and said, "The eldest young master is also here, and he is discussing something with his wife. ”

"What else could they do? Naturally, they are all daughters-in-law. Huangfu frowned and said, "Last night, I also asked the master, now the Guogong Mansion and the Yongding Marquis Mansion are incompatible, not to mention the fall out in private, and there is no harmony in the court, although the grandfather of the country kept saying that the two would reconcile, but the Queen Mother did not agree, she still hopes that the two of us can be reconciled as before, and jointly assist the prince, now, it depends on whether Da Lang has the means to let his daughter-in-law come back." ”

"Mrs. Tai, in fact, Mrs. really doesn't want to fall out with the Guogong Mansion, the slave maid heard that a few days ago, Mrs. went to Lingxiao Temple with the Duchess of the State to offer incense!" Mama Chu put away the jewelry box, put it away carefully, and said, "The eldest young lady is really a person who can calm down, how long has it been, and she hasn't come back, besides, she is still responsible for this matter." ”

"Humph! It is true that the man of our Mu family is good to women, but it is not unprincipled, she is willing to live in her mother's house, just live, but she is just a concubine who is not favored by her mother, I don't believe it, her mother's family can still support her for a lifetime. Huangfu sneered, "Let them toss this matter!" I have several grandchildren anyway, and I don't expect them to add grandchildren to me. ”

"Mrs. Tai is counting on the two of Shizi and the second young lady, right?" Mama Chu asked with a smile.

"San Lang Shiro hasn't married yet, and Goro's daughter-in-law is still young, so don't you expect Erlang's daughter-in-law to give me the Mu family a branch now!" Huangfu Zhengse said, "When Erlang comes back, I have to tell him, in addition to going up and down the court, let him honestly stay at home with his daughter-in-law for me, I am not allowed to go anywhere, I still don't believe it, I want to hold a great-grandson, why is it so difficult?" ”

"Mrs. Tai, don't worry." Mama Chu said, "The slave maid saw that the young lady got up early every day to go to the back mountain for morning exercise in the past two days, saying that she wanted to learn a few tricks of self-defense from Bi Tao and them!" ”

"What? You said that her second daughter-in-law should learn self-defense? When the Huangfu clan heard this, he shook his head again and again, and hurriedly said, "No, no, there are so many people in the mansion to protect her, what else does she learn to defend herself?" The most important thing for her now is to conceive a child, not these boundless things, you quickly call her over, I told her, what if this dance stick is knife-wielding, what if she hurts herself again? ”

"Mrs. Tai, don't worry, now the young lady must have come back from morning exercise, and it will not be too late to see the young lady later." Mama Chu smiled, "Right now, the young lady must still be washing and dressing up!" ”

The prince is back today!

Shen Qingli came back from the morning exercise in the back mountain, sweated, went back to the house to take a shower and change clothes, dressed up, and then went to the flower hall to eat, saying that it was morning exercise, but in fact, it was just climbing the mountain and pressing the legs.

There is no way, it seems that these practitioners around her are not interested in her learning martial arts, and no one is teaching her what she means at all, but she just says that she has to practice basic skills first.

Forget it, let's wait for Mu Yunting to guide her!

As soon as he thought that Mu Yunting would come back today, Shen Qingli was still very excited, and after eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, he put his chopsticks and went into the kitchen, and told Shen He to prepare the dishes that Mu Yunting liked to eat.

Shen He responded with great energy, if the prince doesn't come back, he will be unemployed!

Before I knew it, it was noon.

Ah Hua and Mu An had already run to the gate to look several times, but they still didn't see Mu Yunting come back.

However, Mu Changyuan sent someone to pass the word, saying that Mu Yunting had something to delay temporarily, and he would come back in half an hour, so everyone should go to Changfeng Hall to wait first.

Su Shi was suddenly a little displeased.

Knowing that there is a family banquet waiting in the house, is there anything that will not be postponed?

But the protagonist hasn't come back yet, and he can't start the table first, so he has to ask Mama Xu to order the kitchen to serve some desserts first for everyone to eat.

"Why hasn't the second brother come back, I'm hungry, eat first." Su Ruyi took the lead in taking a piece of dim sum from the plate and eating it.

"Slow down, are you that hungry?" Mu Yun smiled, hurriedly got up and walked over, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs on the corners of her mouth for her.

"Oops, we didn't see it." Mu Yunchao shouted, hurriedly covered his face with his hands, showed two eyes from between his fingers, and quipped, "Tsk, is my cousin concerned about my cousin?" Or is the husband considerate of his daughter-in-law? ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

"The fourth brother knows how to make fun of others." Su Ruyi's face turned red, "When you marry the fourth sister-in-law, I won't be ashamed of you." ”

"Yes, fourth brother, you wait, wait for the fourth sister-in-law to enter the door, and see how we clean you up." Mu Yunqi also helped his daughter-in-law fight back.

"Hey, your cousin's, what about joining forces to fight back?" Mu Yun grimaced at the two of them, pinched his nose and said, "I'm so afraid of you!" ”

"Second aunt, look at the fourth brother, he always makes fun of us." Su Ruyi tugged at the corner of Liu's clothes coquettishly.

"Shiro, you said that you are also the eldest brother, why are you still funny with your brother and daughter-in-law?" Liu Shi laughed angrily, raised his hand and hit him, "Are you ashamed?" ”

"No shame." Mu Yun said to Zhengse, "I'm joking with my cousin, what's there to be ashamed of?" ”

The crowd laughed again.

As soon as Wu Liying raised her head, she met Mu Yunchao's gaze, hurriedly lowered her head, and lowered her eyes silently.

Mu Yunchao looked away disapprovingly, looked up at the roof, and stopped squeaking.

Mu Qing and Wu Lijuan didn't pay attention to the excitement around them, the two sat together, muttering quietly, Mu Qing took Wu Lijuan's hand, looked at the bracelet in her hand, the bracelet was strung together with black jade, the texture was delicate, the color was also good, and she said with envy: "Sister Juan, this bracelet is so beautiful, which shop did you buy it in?" ”

"I didn't buy it, a few days ago, my father came to me a little bit when he came to see me, and this is it, and my sister doesn't have it." Wu Lijuan said proudly, finally there is a piece of jewelry that they haven't seen before!

In fact, this bracelet was given to her by Yu Mutou.

Naturally, she is not good at telling the truth.

can only carry her father out as a shield, anyway, Mu Qing will not ask.

"I heard that your father went to the Western Regions a few days ago, and he must have brought it back from the Western Regions, right?" Mu Qing looked at Mu Changfeng, who was sitting not far away and smiled and asked in a low voice.

In the past few days, her father has always been very happy, listening to her mother say that the business has been very good recently, and she has made some money, and said that if she earns a few more money, they can consider buying a big house in advance in the second room.

Anyway, sooner or later, their family will have to move out of the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

"Well, I also said that I would go in a few days, if my sister likes it, I will give this to you first." Wu Lijuan said, took off the bracelet and put it on Mu Qing's hand.

"Then don't I take the love of others!" Mu Qing pretended to be humble.

"What's polite to the family!" Wu Lijuan's face suddenly turned into a flower, no matter what, she had to find an alliance in this Yongding Marquis Mansion.

Wu Lijuan had already warned her that if she did anything ridiculous, she would definitely take her away.

Then she doesn't do anything, it's okay to find a handkerchief to hand it over, right?

"In the future, if I have anything good, I will definitely not forget my sister." Mu Qing looked down at the bracelet on her wrist, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Mu Shuang sat quietly on the side, silent.

Mu Qing glanced at her, her face full of disgust: "You go to the kitchen and bring us some fried cakes, I want to eat bean paste filling." ”

Mu Shuang answered and got up silently.

"Fifth sister, put a few fruit fillings on me, remember, I don't want to eat papaya." Wu Lijuan also took the opportunity to say.

Wu Liying glanced at her.

How can you say that she is also the fifth lady in the second room, how can you command it at will?

When Liu heard this, he said lukewarmly to Mu Shuang: "Go quickly!" Don't keep your two sisters waiting. ”

It's not her daughter anyway.

As she spoke, her eyes crossed the crowd and fell on Mu Changfeng, the more she looked at him, the more unpleasant she became, if it weren't for the fact that he had recently made some money in business, she would have stabbed him out of the matter of raising an outer room in the back street of the alley, and thought she didn't know!

Mu Shuang lowered her eyebrows and walked out smoothly.

When I came back, I had an extra plate of yellow fried cakes in my hand.

Wu Lijuan and Mu Qing ate with a smile and a smile.

Su Shi saw it in his eyes and just smiled.

Shen Qingli saw that everyone was waiting for Mu Yunting hungry, and he was a little reluctant, so he turned his head and said, "Grandmother, I see that everyone is hungry, let's let everyone eat first!" I'll just wait for him! ”

"It's okay, it's just that I've waited for half an hour, and I'll just wait a little longer." The Huangfu clan sat on the main seat and drank tea steadily, and said, "The family banquet is to get together and have a lively meal!" Whoever is hungry should have a snack. ”

"Yes, don't worry, wait." When the Su clan heard Huangfu say this, he also hurriedly echoed, "Erlang must be on the road now." ”

"Just wait." Liu had a snack stuffed in his mouth.

The Huangfu clan glanced at Liu's eating appearance and looked away in displeasure.

At this time, a tall and burly figure suddenly entered the door, Mu Yunting walked quickly towards the Huangfu clan as soon as he entered the door, and bowed: "Grandmother, my grandson is back." ”

"It's good to come back, and remember in the future that you must not act recklessly in anything." Huangfu saw that her precious grandson had lost a lot of weight in the palace, and he couldn't bear to say anything else, so he had to order, "Go back and sit down, just wait for you to start the banquet!" ”

Then, Mu Yunting greeted the Su family and the Liu family one by one.

"It's good to be back." The two of them bowed their heads and wiped away their tears.

Immediately, Mu Yunting's gaze fell on the person beside him who was thinking about it, and Shen Qingli smiled sweetly at him: "I'm back." ”

"Well, there was an urgent report from Youzhou in the morning, so I came back late." He stared at her without blinking, regardless of the presence of everyone, "I've kept you waiting." ”

"It's good to be back." Shen Qingli's face turned slightly red under his scorching gaze, he looked thinner than before, but he also seemed to be stronger than before, he was wearing a navy blue robe, his hair was tied with a hosta of the same color, and the whole person looked cold and stern, presumably these days, he was also difficult!

"Erlang, it's about the Western Regions, right?" Mu Changyuan, who was sitting at the next table, didn't see the eyebrows of the little two, and suddenly asked.

He often goes in and out of the palace, so he can naturally see Mu Yunting from time to time, so when Mu Yunting goes home, for him, it is just going home.

"Yes." Only then did Mu Yunting turn around and walk over, greet Mu Changfeng, and sit down to drink tea.

"What? Is there any movement in the Western Regions? Mu Changfeng saw that the father and son were very strict when they talked about the Western Regions, so he interjected, "Could it be that the old princess Mengge, or is she still worried about the affairs of the Canglang Society?" ”

"Second brother, let's talk about these things in private!" Mu Changyuan coughed lightly.

The Empress Dowager's illness, all the things poured in front of the Empress Dowager, and it was all a mess, and it had to be sorted out one by one.

Chen Chengxiang and the four princes, who were trusted by the Empress Dowager, were put aside lukewarmly, and the King of Jin was recuperating in the palace, and many affairs in the court fell to the grandfather and their father and son, and the Guogong Mansion was at odds with them, so many things were very difficult to handle.

Many ministers are grass on the wall and vacillate in their dealings, so at present, above the court, as long as their father and son are dependent on each other.

"Yes, yes, eat first." Mu Changfeng understood, he naturally knew the situation of Mu Changyuan and Mu Yunting's father and son, and he was a little gloating in his heart, it turns out that your father and son also have times when they are in trouble, and it is really cold from a high place!

"Second brother, you're back." Behind him, Mu Yunchao and Mu Yunqi rushed forward left and right, and dragged him to sit down beside them, Mu Yunchao quietly looked at Shen Qingli, and saw that she had been staring at this side, and Mu Yunting also turned his head to look at her, so he stepped forward and patted Mu Yunting's shoulder, and quipped, "Go back to the house and see again, okay?" Your daughter-in-law can't run away. ”

Mu Yunting retracted his gaze a little embarrassed and lowered his head to drink tea.

"Second brother, don't mind, the fourth brother is stimulated today, and he will talk about whoever he catches." Mu Yunqi took the opportunity to say.

I finally managed to finish eating.

And the people dispersed to their heart's content.

Mu Yunting originally wanted to follow Shen Qingli back to the house, but was stopped by Mu Changyuan: "Erlang, what happened in the Western Regions?" ”R1152
