Chapter 15 - To each his own word
Mu Yunting hugged his chest and looked coldly at the rose-red figure on the wall in the distance, and saw that the figure first looked around, probably to see if anyone was paying attention, and then, struggling to climb the wall, the wall was a little high, she didn't seem to dare to jump, hesitated, her eyes fell on the big tree against the wall, she calmly pulled the trunk, carefully climbed the tree, and climbed down the trunk.
It seems that the maid who came back late in the courtyard secretly climbed over the wall into the courtyard for fear of being scolded.
Although Mu Yunting's eyesight is excellent, but after all, it is too far away, and some can't really see the woman's face, only feel a little raw, after seeing the woman land, he stroked his chest, like a relieved look, he couldn't help but slightly upturned the corners of his mouth, turned his head and asked Cuigu who was passing by: "Qingxinyuan has recently come to a newcomer?" ”
"Yes, Mrs. transferred two maids yesterday and said that they were serving in the study of the prince, but I don't know why they disappeared at this time." Cui Gu replied expressionlessly.
"Oh." As soon as he heard that it was the maid sent by the Su family, Mu Yunting was no longer interested, frowned, and turned around and went downstairs.
Mu An stood by the window and watched with interest, until he found that the son was gone, so he chased him out like a dream.
Muyingtang is surrounded by a turbulent sea of flowers, and the huge courtyard is filled with the fragrance of flowers and green trees all year round.
It's August, the osmanthus flowers in the yard are dense, the fragrance is sweet, and the sweetness of the peach, plum and melon fruits are intertwined, making people linger and feel relaxed.
Then a maid plucked peaches from the tree, washed them, and brought them up.
"Why are you so careless, kid? It was so hard to fall. Seeing that Mu Yunting was wrapped in thick gauze on his arm, Mrs. Huangfu was angry and distressed, and blamed, "I said that I had been out for more than a month, why did I suddenly remember to come back!" I thought you were thinking about your new daughter-in-law, but she was injured outside, and you said, if you have three long and two short, what should you do? As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the arm wrapped in gauze with palpitations, and asked, "Does it still hurt?" Let's ask your father to invite a royal doctor from the palace to come and have a look! ”
"Grandmother, it's really out of the way, and you don't have to work hard to ask for a royal doctor, don't you still trust Aunt Cui?" Mu Yunting said, reached out and took a red and purple peach, took a bite, the corners of his lips were suddenly stained with purple juice, and chuckled, "This injury is not in the way, just raise it for a few days, I want to eat the peaches planted by my grandmother when I am outside, even if I am not injured, my grandson has to rush back to try it." ”
"You, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, as long as you like to eat, I will send someone to pick it and send it to you every day." Seeing his energetic appearance, the Huangfu clan thought that Cuigu also knew medical skills, and his heart was a little calmer, and he said, "Don't invite the imperial doctor, grandmother naturally trusts Cuigu, but as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, you come back this time, you are not allowed to go anywhere, let your father go to the palace to give you a leave of absence tomorrow, you honestly stay at home for me to recuperate, do you hear?" ”
"The grandson obeys." Mu Yunting smiled, "My grandson comes over every day to talk to my grandmother to relieve my boredom. ”
"Grandmother doesn't need you to accompany her, grandmother has enough flowers and plants in this yard." Huangfu lowered his head slightly, stroked the emerald and gemstone ring on his hand, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "You have become a relative now, as long as you stay in Qingxinyuan and accompany your daughter-in-law well, grandmother still wants to hold her great-grandson as soon as possible!" ”
Mu Yunting smiled, there was no squeak, and he couldn't help but pass over those clear eyes like water. There was a kind of ignorance and innocence in his eyes, so pure that he couldn't get close.
On the night of the wedding, he drank a few more glasses and slept in the study that night.
In the days since they returned to the door, the two of them didn't even talk much.
He felt that she was a little afraid of him.
After that, he went to Youzhou, and until today, his impression of that woman is also shallow, and he can't tell what kind of woman she is.
"No matter how good that Wanyue is, after all, she is going, listen to her grandmother's advice, life is short, and it is most practical to take pity on the talents in front of you, the Shen family is a century-old family after all, and the daughter raised by their family can be trusted by her grandmother, so you must treat others well." This grandson has always been sensible, why can't he think so much about Wanyue alone?
"The grandson obeys." Speaking of Wanyue, Mu Yunting's face sank, and when he saw Huangfu's earnest persuasion, he replied vaguely.
"Okay, handle the things in your room by yourself, grandmother can't manage so much, I just want to remind you, no matter what, the eldest son must be born in the main room, don't let those thoughtful maids get a loophole, if you make another eldest son or something, then it's really asking for trouble, don't be like your father." Speaking of Mu Changyuan, the Huangfu family sighed again, she was also responsible for what happened back then, and she didn't even prevent the Su family from becoming pregnant, and she gave birth to her eldest son Mu Yunche earlier than the main room.
At present, regardless of her opposition, the Su family was helped out of the main room, and the concubine became a concubine, so there was the embarrassment that the Marquis of Yongding was the second son.
Mu Yunting responded absentmindedly, and then got up to say goodbye.
The way he is now, there is a heart to think about these things......
I went to Yiqing Garden to ask for peace again, and went straight to Changfeng Hall.
Changfeng Hall is on the shore of Bishui Lake, it is the place where the house entertains guests, watches the opera and listens to the music, there is a corridor in the courtyard that extends to the Bishui Lake, it is twisted and twisted, like a swimming dragon, the end of the corridor is a square two-storey pavilion, there are countless small golden bells hanging under the eaves, there is a wind passing by, sending out a crisp and melodious bell sound, like a heavenly sound.
There were already figures shuttling in the corridor, or looking into the distance, or chatting against the railing, and from time to time there was a light laugh, which seemed to be happy.
Mu Lin was boringly feeding the red koi with the food box, turned his head to look at Mu Yunting, his face was happy, he hurriedly put the food box on the railing, walked towards him hurriedly, touched his arm wrapped in thick gauze, and asked with concern: "Second brother, you are back, why are you still injured?" Yan is not strict, have you asked the doctor to take a look? ”
"I fell while riding, and it was fine." Mu Yunting smiled faintly at her, "How is the third sister doing recently?" ”
"It's still the same, and there's no other pastime except embroidery." Mu Lin stepped forward and took his uninjured arm, helped him sit on the rattan chair, and said coquettishly, "It's great that the second brother is back, can we go to Qingxinyuan to read now?" ”
"Of course, even when I'm away, you can go to the study and read." Mu Yunting still said with a smile......
"Since the second brother left, the second sister-in-law has been bedridden, and my mother said that the second sister-in-law needs to recuperate and not let us go over to disturb her." Mu Lin quietly looked around, and said mysteriously, "The second sister-in-law is also very good now, I heard that a few days ago, she had a dispute with Mama Yang next to her sister-in-law, and her mother also scolded Mama Yang and Liu Yan, so Mama Yang is still bedridden!" ”
Mu Yunting couldn't help frowning.
"Second brother, it's not that my sister is talkative, my second sister-in-law looks gentle and virtuous, but she is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Mu Lin saw Mu Yunting listening silently, and the more she talked, the more excited she became, "I heard that the few dowry girls around her, with some skills, are all unforgiving masters." ”
"The second brother is back." A voice rang out behind him.
I saw Mu Yao carrying the hem of her skirt, carefully going up the steps, walking to the two of them, not looking at Mu Lin, but asking about Mu Yunting's injury with concern: "Second brother's injury doesn't matter, right?" ”
"Out of the way, a little injury." Mu Yunting still smiled lightly.
After a while, another young man came out of the corridor, walked towards them quickly, and before he got closer, he said loudly: "Second brother is back, let's go, let's fight a game today, last time you won two games in three games, I haven't slept well for a month, and I have to get back a game today." As he spoke, he looked at his arm wrapped in gauze and asked with concern, "How is your hand?" Doesn't get in the way of chess, right? ”
Mu Yunting smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I can win you with one hand for my brother." ”
Although Wulang Mu Yunchen was born to his stepmother Su, he has a very good relationship with Mu Yunting.
The two exchanged a few words, then turned around and went up to the cloister, talking and laughing towards the pavilion.
"Third sister, you are so confused, how can you be a sister and arrange a sister-in-law in front of your brother?" Mu Yao looked at the figures of the two brothers on the corridor gradually moving away, glanced at Mu Lin dissatisfiedly, and said unhappily, "You don't care about the affairs in the second brother's room." ”
