Chapter 42: The Long House (2)
Then Gao and his three children slowly got out of the carriage and walked to Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu to salute.
Gao's speech and demeanor are gentle and dignified, and she can't see that she is from a merchant family, which is diametrically opposed to Jiang's pungent temperament.
Mu Zhishu saluted the elders respectfully, then turned around and looked at Mu Zhiling and Mu Zhixuan with a smile.
Mu Zhishu paced in, and her slender appearance made Mu Zhiling can't help but think that she was like this in her previous life, and she hooked Song Yingzhao's entire soul away.
"Third sister, fifth sister, long time no see." Mu Zhishu's eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, and she stopped in front of Mu Zhiling and Mu Zhixuan, her eyes full of joy.
"Second sister."
Mu Zhiling and Mu Zhixuan returned together.
The old lady looked at the three sisters with satisfaction, and then instructed Aunt Chunping to lead the people in the long room down to rest.
Back at Begonia Garden, Mu Zhixuan muttered dissatisfiedly: "Fifth sister, why did you still have a calm face when you saw Mu Zhishu just now?" How did she push you into the water five years ago, are you forgetting? Also, do you think it's possible that she lost her memory after she went to Zhenzhou? You can see that when she greets you with a smile, she looks like nothing has happened. If you want me to say that she is either thicker than the city walls, or she is too good at pretending. ”
Mu Zhiling lowered her eyes, Mu Zhixuan may not know Mu Zhishu, but it is impossible for her not to understand after living for two lifetimes. Whether it is Mu Zhishu in the previous life or in this life, she has always had a smile on her face, but she didn't know that there was a sharp knife hidden in that smile.
Seeing that Mu Zhiling still had a faint expression, Mu Zhixuan continued: "Fifth sister, is it possible that you have forgotten it?" ”
Mu Zhiling shook her head and frowned, "I haven't forgotten, but she also went to Jingguang Temple for five years, didn't she?" Now that she has taken the initiative to befriend me, what else can I do, is it possible that I have to hold on to the past? ”
Mu Zhixuan suddenly raised her voice and said, "Fifth sister, how can you be so weak, can you just let her bully you!" ”
The tone of her voice was extremely angry, as if she was the one who was pushed into the water back then.
Mu Zhiling turned around, looked at Mu Zhixuan fixedly, and said suspiciously: "Sister Xuan, do you hate the second sister?" ”
It shouldn't be......
If Mu Zhixuan dislikes Mu Zhishuang, it is reasonable.
Mu Zhishuang has always been arrogant and spicy, and she has learned Jiang's bullying to the fullest, and she has never given Mu Zhixuan a good face.
But Mu Zhishu is different.
At least at this age, she is excellent to everyone in the Mu Mansion.
Mu Zhixuan stuck out her tongue and said, "Of course, who let her bully the fifth sister yours!" ”
Mu Zhiling gratefully shook Mu Zhixuan's hand.
Mu Zhixuan secretly sighed.
A strange light flashed in his eyes.
Later in the evening, men and women sit separately, with women in the inner nave.
Old Madam Mu sat at the top, and the rest of the people sat down in turn, waiting for Gao to come in from outside the door.
Mu Zhishu stood aside, and beside her stood another dignified and delicate young woman, with white and tender skin, which could be broken by blowing. She folded her hands in front of her and stood in an orderly manner.
She is the eldest daughter of the Gao family, Mu Zhilan, who is sixteen years old. I remember that not long after Changfang returned to Beijing in her previous life, Mu Zhilan married the son of the current Zhenzhou Governor.
I don't remember who the person's surname was, and Mu Zhiling.
In her previous life, she remembered that her mother mentioned it, but at that time, she had almost no impression of Mu Zhilan, so she didn't take it to heart.
Seeing Mu Zhiling walking in, the smile on her face was even worse, and she beckoned to Mu Zhiling and said, "Come, Sister Xuan, Sister Ling, come to the eldest mother." ”
Mu Zhiling and Mu Zhixuan walked over.
Gao chuckled and said, "The girl of our Mu Mansion looks more beautiful than the other. Turning around, he took out an elm carved box from the arms of the maid behind him, took out the golden nine phoenix and put it in Mu Zhiling's hand, and gave Mu Zhixuan a pair of gold silk inlaid gemstone leaf-shaped earrings.
Gao said softly: "These are all from the hands of a famous craftsman in Zhenzhou, and there is only one thing here." She looked at Mrs. Mu, "The daughter-in-law thought about these precious things, so she wanted to match them with a delicate person, so she brought them back." Prepare one for each of the girls. ”
"What are you doing with these things?"
Old Madam Mu said softly.
But there was no reproach in his tone.
Mu Zhiling was a little distracted.
I thought that Mrs. Mu would be estranged from the long house because of Mu Zhishu's incident, but now it seems that it has no impact.
Gao came back this time and had a very happy conversation with Mrs. Mu, why is this?
Is it because of those family letters?
Mu Zhiling left out those family letters......
Gao looked around, but he didn't see Mu Zhishuang's figure, so he asked Jiang, "Fourth brother and sister, where is Sister Shuang?" Why don't you see her today? ”
Mu Zhiling and Mu Zhixuan listened and secretly glanced at each other.
Jiang Shi said a little uncomfortably: "Sister Shuang'er suddenly had a high fever and was unwell, and she was lying on the bed at the moment. Please also ask the sister-in-law not to be weird. ”
Gao asked worriedly, "But you have caught the wind cold?" Did you call the Imperial Doctor? But better? ”
Jiang Shi didn't encounter the panic that he couldn't hide, and said hurriedly: "I have already called the imperial doctor, and it won't get in the way." ”
How dare she call the Imperial Doctor?
When Mu Zhishuang returned to Zilan Courtyard, her ragged appearance really frightened her. Asked her what was going on, Mu Zhishuang just trembled and said that she had just accidentally hooked her clothes by a tree branch in the yard.
But how does that look like a tree branch has hooked clothes?
The clothes were full of holes.
But she didn't dare to say it now, and if she did, it would be a shame.
Yes, I had to lie.
But doing so made Mrs. Mu unhappy.
However, due to Gao's presence, there was no seizure.
Old Madam Mu glanced at the empty seat beside Jiang Shi, withdrew her gaze without a trace, and continued to talk to Gao.
The two talked about what had happened over the years.
Mu Zhiling listened carefully on the side, not letting go of any detail.
After a while, Xiao Yuning came in from outside the door.
"I don't know when my sister-in-law and eldest brother will come back, if I had known earlier, I would not have gone anywhere today, and I would have waited for you at home."
Xiao Yuning said as he entered the door.
Gao heard Xiao Yuning's voice and hurriedly got up.
Mu Zhiling's eyes touched Gao's excited appearance, and she felt disgusted in her heart.
Gao's obvious dislike of his mother's kiss to the extreme, but to pretend to be so close is really hypocritical.
