Chapter 57: The Visit
The carriage walked unhurriedly for more than an hour before arriving at the Shilang's Mansion.
Xu Youze, the squire of the military department, was not at home in the court, and Mrs. Wang warmly welcomed the two in, and Wang knew that the two were invited by Wu to enjoy the chrysanthemums, and after a few polite words, he personally sent the two to the Yuanshan Pavilion.
Xiao Wu had already gotten the news and greeted him in person, and the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
The three of them sat down in the flower hall.
Xiao Wu took a closer look at this nephew and daughter-in-law, with a satisfied smile in his eyes, turned his head to Mu Yunting and sighed: "Hongyuan, if you talk about your grandmother, I hate it so much, if she hadn't let that Su family enter the door back then, your mother wouldn't have gone so early, but in your family affairs, she finally did it right, the Shen family in Jingzhou is a century-old family, and the daughter of the Shen family is naturally not wrong, alas, if your mother is still alive, how good it would be." ”
The Wu family's family background is not complicated, only one wife and one concubine, the grandmother gave birth to the eldest sister and the eldest brother, only she was born to the concubine, the biological mother died early, she was raised by her mother's side since she was a child, and her grandmother treated her as her own, so her relationship with the eldest sister was very good, and there was no fight between the concubines.
It's a pity that the eldest sister went early, and she has no sisters.
"I've wanted to take Li Niang to see my aunt for a long time, I don't want to be entangled in trivial matters all the time, and I hope my aunt will forgive me." Mu Yunting naturally didn't want to discuss his rights and wrongs with her, so he reluctantly smiled, "Presumably the beauty chrysanthemums in the Yuanshan Pavilion have been opened, right?" ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but put his fist to his mouth and yawned, he really didn't sleep well last night.
was greedy for a while, and even forgot that he was taking medicine and couldn't eat too cold food.
What's more, the pork skin jelly is preserved with ice cubes.
Xiao Wu saw that his eyes were a little blue, and quietly glanced at Shen Qingli who was sitting beside him, and saw that she was radiant and radiant, so he smiled teasingly: "If Hongyuan is tired, go to the warm pavilion to lie down for a while, I just let people steam the dim sum you like to eat, and I will let people call you when it is ready, anyway, I can't thank you for a while, in my aunt's place, there is no need to be formal." ”
"It's okay, my hand injury hasn't healed yet, so I took some medicine when I came, presumably the medicine is good, so I'm a little sleepy." Mu Yunting smiled, resisting the urge to yawn, "I'd better enjoy the chrysanthemums first and then rest!" ”
Shen Qingli naturally didn't know the deep meaning that Xiao Wu had seen, but quietly looked at her, that is, about thirty years old, not tall or short, a little thin, fair and delicate complexion, delicate appearance, slender phoenix eyes like a thousand years of deep pool, people can't see the edge at a glance, giving people a confusing feeling.
Shen Qingli felt that she should belong to the kind of fairy who eats and drinks dew, not to this red dust.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Shen Qingli would not have believed that she would steal from the prince of Jin in the temple anyway......
I didn't believe it when she was killed.
There is a large blooming chrysanthemum in the backyard of Yuanshan Pavilion, what is amazing is that the chrysanthemum is very special, a flower looks at different colors from different angles, looking at it from a distance, it is like a sea of colorful flowers.
Xiao Wu affectionately took Shen Qingli's hand and walked among the flowers, and said with a smile: "The name of this beauty chrysanthemum must be given by men, because they all think that women are changeable, saying that our joys, sorrows, and sorrows are all in one thought, but I don't know that this woman's changeability is all because of men, if it weren't for a love word, women in the world would be quiet." ”
"That's exactly what my aunt said." Shen Qingli echoed softly.
Mu Yunting, who was walking behind the two, couldn't help but yawn again.
"Hongyuan, I think you should go to the flower room to rest for a while! You're here, and we both feel uncomfortable talking. Xiao Wu turned around and said angrily.
Mu Yunting looked at Shen Qingli and saw that she smiled at him, so he walked towards the flower room not far away.
He had been to the flower house twice, and he was no stranger to it.
After Mu Yunting left, Xiao Wu quietly shook Shen Qingli's hand and asked softly, "Li Niang has been married for a few days, but is there any movement?" ”
"Nope." Shen Qingli understood, and felt embarrassed in his heart.
Why does everyone care about this problem, she has a yarn!
"There's no urgency." Xiao Wu saw that she was a little embarrassed, so he smiled again, "Li Niang don't have to be embarrassed, I know you are also a pitiful, my father and mother went early, and my sister-in-law at home is mean, and Hongyuan has lost her mother here, although you have a mother-in-law at home, but she is not a mother-in-law after all, and people will not care about you if you want to come to such a thing, so your aunt is your relative, if there is no movement in a few days, I will take you to the imperial doctor to see." ”
"Thank you, Auntie, this matter is really not urgent." Shen Qingli smiled lightly, and suddenly had a good impression of this aunt in her heart, no matter what, she still poured out her heart and lungs for the words she said to herself.
Thinking that Mu Yunting would use her relationship with the prince of Jin to save the fifth brother, Shen Qingli had no choice but to say: "There have been a lot of things in the house recently, and Hongyuan and I are overwhelmed, so I really don't have the heart to think about this." ”
"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law have the affairs in the house, what are you two worried about?" Xiao Wu said disappreciatively.
As they spoke, they walked out of the flowers and sat down in a pavilion.
Immediately, a maid came to serve tea.
"Having said that, but you can't find them for everything, a few days ago, when a maid next to me went back to her hometown, she was unfortunately sold to the Shallow Moon Pavilion, Hongyuan sent people around to find it, but I didn't want to be a step too late, and was ransomed by Xia Shizi of Guogong Mansion, although the prince of Guogong Mansion finally sent someone back, but the maid insisted on staying in Guogong Mansion to serve Xia Shizi, and I had to go by her, now I think about it, I still feel very sad." Shen Qingli got up and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Wu, looking at her delicate and picturesque eyebrows, she really couldn't get in touch with the woman in Lingxiao Temple.
"Don't want such a subordinate, even if you forcibly stay by your side, at a critical time, you won't be useful, it's better to take the opportunity to send it away, so as not to add to your own blockage." Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Just this little thing stumped the two of you?" If there is any difficulty in the future, I will come to my aunt, who has no children under her knees, and there is no one close to me except you. ”
"Thank you aunt for your concern, as long as my aunt is well, we will be relieved." Shen Qingli felt that he really couldn't open his mouth and mention Mu Yunqi's matter again.
If she and the prince of Jin are in love, if not, but they are together for some kind of interest, then if she helps the fifth brother this time, won't she owe the prince of Jin a favor again?
"Hongyuan really married a good daughter-in-law." Xiao Wu smiled, "Let's go, let's go to the front and have a look, there is a better beauty chrysanthemum in front." ”
Mu Yunting lay on the soft couch in the flower room for a while, drank a few cups of hot tea, and felt that his body was much refreshed, he got up and entered the suite outside, which was also full of flowers, full of chrysanthemums, and his aunt loved chrysanthemums the most.
There was also a small flower hoe hanging on the wall, and the wooden handle of the flower hoe was wrapped in a small piece of dark flower silk, which I thought was my aunt's flower hoe, and the silk was used to protect her hands.
It's just that this silk looks a little familiar, as if it has been seen somewhere.
Mu Yunting's expression was stunned, and he hurriedly took out the purse worn by the dead soldier who attacked him in Youzhou from his arms, compared it carefully, and found that the silk used to make the purse was the same as the silk on the hoe.
He once sent someone to investigate the silk used in the purse, and it was woven from the most expensive silk in the Western Regions, which was the most rare, and the silk shops in the capital could not buy it at all.
Now, he saw such silk in the Shilang Mansion, could it be said that the dead man was not sent by the Guogong Mansion, but was related to the Shilang Mansion?
After thinking about it, he put away his purse, picked up the flower hoe, and walked out of the flower room.
