Chapter 18: Who's Laying Out

Since the last time the Zhen family went to Qingxue Hall, Feng Ze did not call the Zhen family or Feng Luan again, and Aunt Gong and her children did not dare to go out casually. Even Mrs. Feng heard that Zhen had been there, and after asking, she heard that there was no noise, so she endured it and only muttered a few words in private.

After Zhen knew the truth, he gently evened the rouge on his face and said with a smile: "It's okay now." He looked in the mirror and said with satisfaction: "I'm afraid that except for the funeral of the master in the future, they won't dare to bother me anymore." โ€

Mama Zhen tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, inconvenient to answer.

And in the Pavilion of Looking at the Stars and Holding the Moon, although Feng Luan did not know what was happening in Qingxue Hall, he was also happy to have a clean ear. Anyway, my father and Aunt Gong's mother and son, as well as my grandmother, since they are a family, it is better to love each other, just don't bother yourself.

Everything goes back to the way it used to be, and Qingxuedo has become a vague existence again.

"Miss, miss." Qian Xiang ran over with a smile, because it was drizzling outside, so that her hair was covered with tiny droplets, dotted with stars, "Miss Mu Liu of the Liguo family has come to see you." โ€

It's raining, and Mu Roujia still came to look for herself? Feng Luan's eyes were surprised.

"Oops, oops." Mu Roujia ran in with her cloak on her head, fiery red, like a little red-haired fox, she handed the cloak to her little girl, "Go find a brazier to bake, don't leave moisture." Then he sat down unceremoniously, and without waiting for anyone to serve, he poured a cup of flower tea and drank it first, "Well...... I almost didn't get drenched." โ€

Feng Luan hurriedly instructed the girl, "Go find a piece of my clothes and come out." โ€

"No, no." Mu Roujia swallowed a sip of tea and waved her hand repeatedly, "I have to leave in a while." โ€

Feng Luan Qi said: "What do you say? I just came, and I have to leave again. โ€

"I sneaked out." Mu Roujia looked embarrassed, teased the girl, and said with a quiet smile: "Mother took me to Duanwangfu to see my sister, well, ......, you still don't know what to do, right?" The big sister has been in body for four months. โ€

Feng Luan smiled faintly, "That's it." โ€

She thought about it carefully, and in her impression, the princess of the previous life did not give birth to a child this year, could it be that she had a miscarriage? But it's inconvenient to say this to Roujia, and I don't bother to say it.

On the contrary, because of this, I remembered the children I hadn't had time to meet in my previous life, and I couldn't help but be in a trance.

"I told my eldest sister that she was tired and wanted to go to the backyard to rest, and then she ran out to find you while she was talking to her mother." Mu Roujia had an exaggerated expression on her face, squeezing her eyebrows, "I'm okay with you?" Seeing that she was stunned, she couldn't help but reach out and poke, "Hey! You don't cooperate with it. โ€

"Oh." Feng Luan came back to his senses and put away his sad thoughts, "It's hard for you to have a heart." smiled, "My heart is so grateful, I can't love you." โ€

"I don't believe it!" Mu Roujia wrinkled her nose, and then made a childish gesture, "Actually......" her face flushed, "I came out to see you secretly, yes, ......yes, yes, there is something important." โ€

"Huh? You said. Feng Luan didn't think she could have anything important, it was just a little girl having fun.

Mu Roujia became more and more shy, and whispered: "Just a few days ago, my aunt came to my house. It takes a lot of courage to say what is going on, and his voice is getting quieter and quieter, "I said that I was ......, and I wanted to marry my second cousin." โ€

Feng Luan's eyes widened and exclaimed, "There is such a thing?!" โ€

"What, what." Mu Roujia puffed out her cheeks, unhappy, "What's the matter with you?" First disliked my fourth brother for not being worthy of you, and now he dislikes me again! I, I'm ......, why can't I be your second sister-in-law?! Her tone brought out grievances and twisted her face, "It's a waste that I've always been so good to you." โ€

"No, it's not." Feng Luan saw that she had misunderstood, and explained, "I'm just a little surprised. โ€

Of course I was surprised.

In his previous life, his sister-in-law and sister-in-law were both surnamed Feng, both of whom were nieces of the eldest aunt's maiden family, a niece and a niece, and they also achieved the story of sisters.

Why ...... that the eldest aunt in this life suddenly fell in love with Roujia?

"What's so surprising?" Mu Roujia pursed her lips and said unhappily: "We grew up together, and it's not that we don't know each other outside, looking at you just now, I was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak." Pointing at her, "What a conscienceless nasty ghost!" โ€

"Okay, don't worry about it." Feng Luan had a thousand thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't take care of it now, so she had to cheer up first to coax this young lady, "You say, you go on, I'll listen to it." โ€

Mu Roujiafu sat down again, with a wistful expression, "My mother disagrees. โ€

The corners of Feng Luan's mouth curled slightly, "My aunt has always had a very high vision, so I want to have other plans." โ€

In her previous life, Mrs. Mu planned family affairs for her youngest daughter, and she did choose a better one, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

"Where else can you go?" Mu Roujia puffed up, "My eldest sister is already a princess, can't the Mu family have another princess?" Besides, there's no age right. She complained in a complaining tone, "I really don't know how to do it, it's a good thing to kiss and kiss, why can't my mother figure it out." โ€

In her tone, she was very willing to do this family business.

Feng Luan laughed when she heard it, "You just want to marry my second brother like that?" โ€

Mu Roujia's face was slightly red, "The second cousin is good-looking, smart, and ......, and always tells a lot of jokes, if you live with him, you will definitely not be bored." Her eyes were bright, like stars, with the clarity and dustlessness peculiar to a girl, and they were full of beautiful fantasies.

Feng Luan sighed in his heart, he also had fantasies about Xiao Duo back then, right? Shaking his head, he put aside the memories of his previous life, and said interestingly, "Good girl, you actually think about living a good life." โ€

"Humph!" Mu Roujia slapped on the table and pretended to threaten, "You're laughing at me again, I'm really annoyed!" Then he looked puzzled again, and muttered again, "What is inappropriate, you have to find me a good family, but where is there a better family in the capital than the Feng family?"

"It's not for nothing." Feng Luan remembered the past of his previous life and said: "For example, our cousin Prince Xiang's family, his family has only one son, you will be the princess when you marry in the past, and if you stay up for a few more years, won't you be the princess of Shangxiang?" โ€

Mu Roujia in her previous life was engaged to Prince Xiang's son, but later something happened to the Feng family, and the family affair naturally ended.

Thinking that it was to clear up the connection with Prince Xiang, Prince Ying and other chaotic parties, so after the Feng family was copied, Mrs. Mu was extremely resolute and ruthless. Not only did she not intercede for the Feng family, but she didn't even redeem her daughters as slaves, and she still relied on the Feng family's daughters to fend for herself!

The coldness of the heart can be seen.

Doesn't Mrs. Mu know what will happen to the female dependents of slaves, especially those of wealthy families? I heard that there is a kind of subordinate person who specially goes to buy the female slaves of the eunuchs, and then enjoys them arbitrarily, and then shows off to others, "I slept with Miss So-and-so, and slept with Mrs. So-and-so." โ€

Mother, I think I know it in my heart.

Feng Luan sighed in his heart.

"Prince Xiang?!" Mu Roujia's eyes widened, and then she chirped: "Don't!" I met Prince Xiang once a few years ago, he was a tall and big black fat man, with a fierce face, and he looked worse than his third cousin. โ€

"And what are you going to do?" Feng Luan pressed her fluctuating emotions and asked.

"There's always a fight." Mu Roujia seemed to have an idea, but she didn't elaborate, but said: "Today, I came quietly from the back door, and no one knows what to do." I just want you to do me a favor, and during this time, remember to say more good things about me in front of my aunt. She hesitated for a while, "Well...... if you see your second cousin, you can also say a few good words." โ€

Feng Luan is not optimistic about this family business.

Mrs. Mu has always been arrogant and temperamental, she asked to marry the daughter of the Feng family twice before, but she was rejected by herself, and then by Zhenniang, and she must complain that her family does not give face. In this case, how could she slap herself in the face and marry her daughter back to the Feng family? Not to mention, the second brother Feng Shiyu can't inherit the title yet.

So he persuaded softly: "Don't you know your mother's temperament? Although my second brother looks good, but the title of the Guogong Mansion is not his turn, but it is the future career of Enyin, where is it compared to the future Prince and Princess Xiang? The eldest aunt disagrees with the Feng family's family affairs, and there is no one else who wants to come, and most of them will push you to Prince Xiang's mansion. โ€

"It's me who married, not her!" Mu Roujia looked good at talking, but in fact, she had a stubborn temper of Miss Jiao, got up and stomped her feet, "You don't care, just wait to call my second sister-in-law anyway." โ€

Feng Luan was amused by her, "How can you be such an unashamed girl?" Shame, shame. โ€

"I'm not ashamed!" Mu Roujia threatened: "When I become your second sister-in-law, see how I clean up your difficult and hateful sister-in-law!" Hmph, when the time comes, you will beg me for a good day. โ€

"Ahh Feng Luan pretended to be frightened, cooperated with her, waved her hand again and again, and smiled: "Second sister-in-law spare her life." โ€

"I'll clean you up first."

The two of them writhed on the couch for a while.

"Alright, alright, it's not too early." Mu Roujia got up and brushed her hair and said, "If I don't rush back to Duanwang's Mansion again, I'm afraid that my mother and sister will find out." I didn't dare to stay longer, so I hurried out of the door, walked to the door and turned my head, "Ah Luan, remember to help me speak." โ€

Like a gust of wind, it comes and goes quickly.

Feng Luan looked at the distant red back, and his smile gradually faded.

It's weird.

In addition to knowing his past life, understanding the inside story, and not optimistic about Mu Roujia marrying into the Feng family, he was even more surprised that his eldest aunt took the initiative to marry her! First of all, the relationship between the eldest aunt and Mrs. Mu is not very good, and Mrs. Mu is arrogant, how can the eldest aunt go to marry a powerful in-law? Looking for a daughter-in-law who can't be suppressed? Isn't it to find guilt for yourself?

Besides, the sister-in-law in the lobby is from the Feng family of Guoyi Hou, although she is also a high-ranking family, how can she compare with the powerful Mu family of the Liguo Mansion? If Mu Roujia marries her second cousin, she has a high status and her mother is powerful, how can the sister-in-law in the lobby suppress this brother and daughter-in-law? In the future, the sister-in-law in the lobby will preside over the feed, and she will also control the elbow everywhere.

The eldest aunt is thinking about her niece, and she shouldn't ask to marry Mu Roujia.

So the eldest aunt went to Mu's house to ask for relatives, and used her hot face to stick to Mrs. Mu's cold ass, and found her own anger, which was definitely not voluntary for her, but forced to go.

The only person who can make the eldest aunt wronged herself so much is the eldest uncle.

Then it's even weirder.

At present, the Xiliang War has broken out, and the situation is tense.

It is said that in the past few days, it is the time when the eldest uncle is very busy, persuading Prince Ying, maneuvering in front of the emperor, and planning with the strategists, which one does not take effort and time? Originally, he was in the midst of his busy schedule, and his tryst mother wondered, why was he still busy with her son's marriage?

But what went wrong? I couldn't figure it out for a while.

In the middle of the night, the sound of rain sounded outside the window, and it didn't take long for it to get heavier and heavier, and from time to time there were bursts of thunder and thunder, and the electric light outside the window flickered non-stop. Jiang's mother lifted the curtain and came in, folded the quilt for Feng Luan, and saw that she was not asleep yet, and asked, "Is Miss afraid?" It's thundering outside. โ€

Originally, it was just a casual question.

Feng Luan lifted the quilt and beckoned, "Mom, come and sleep together." โ€

Jiang's mother was stunned for a moment, and then thought that she was reprimanded by her wife a few days ago, and then embarrassed by her master, she must have been very wronged in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a little pity. So he took off his coat and came up to coax her, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my mother is with you." โ€

Feng Luan hugged the nurse and buried her head in the middle of her waist, soft, as well as the familiar taste from childhood to adulthood, as well as the gentle touch, and the mood gradually calmed down.

******

For the next few days, it was drizzling.

On this day, the rain finally cleared the sky, showing a fresh atmosphere of washing and green.

Feng Luan sat on the corridor and pondered things, and Jiang's mother was afraid that she would freeze, so she added a cloak of emerald brocade and feather satin, and made people boil thick brown sugar water, and coaxed her to drink a bowl. Then he ordered Baozhu and the others to stay in front of him, and strictly ordered him not to go out, so as not to step on the dampness on the ground, and confessed again and again before returning to his house to rest.

Baozhu smiled and proposed, "Miss is not bored, do you want to play chess?" Or lay paper and ink, and write? โ€

Feng Luan was troubled in his heart, and said impatiently: "I'm too lazy to move." โ€

Baozhu was a little scornful, and his heart was even more uneasy,โ€”โ€” although there was no actual evidence, but he vaguely felt that the young lady didn't like herself very much, and preferred tortoiseshell.

couldn't help but look up at the little master, trying to see the clue.

I saw that she was dressed in a plain dress, with an emerald cape, looking slender and thin, and there was an unspeakable sorrow and shallow resentment at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Hey......, what else is there to worry about with a look, family background, and identity like Miss? It's a pity that she didn't fight when she became the princess, and the Mu family's family affairs were also pushed, and I don't know who Lu Dao will marry in the future.

But no matter who it is, it will always be one of the best people in the capital.

Baozhu dreamed of a wedding girl and imagined it.

"Ouch, it's raining heavily." Akane Xiang came back from the outer courtyard with an umbrella, her body was not wet, but a pair of embroidered shoes were dirty and splashed with a lot of mud. She didn't bother to change her shoes, so she replied first, "It's so lively over there in the long room, saying that the eldest lady is going to give the Mu family and the Wang family a joint relationship, and our family is happy." โ€

Feng Luan was very surprised, "Double happiness is coming? โ€

"yes." Akane smiled, "There's another joke." โ€

As soon as she said this, the idle girls next to her all gathered around.

Qian Xiang cleared her throat and said, "Originally, the eldest lady of our family went to the Mu family to ask for marriage, but Mrs. Mu was a little hesitant, saying that her daughter was still young......

Feng Luan said in her heart, Mrs. Mu really did not agree to this marriage, she must have not hesitated a little, but categorically refused, but Qian Xiang didn't dare to say it too bluntly.

Over there, Qian Xiang said again: "But I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, the news that the Mu family and the Feng family are going to marry spread within a few days, and even spread outside, and now the whole capital knows Lu Dao." She pursed her lips and smiled, not daring to say that Mrs. Mu was angry, "So, Miss Mu Liu will soon be the second grandmother of our family." โ€

Feng Luan frowned, there is still such a thing?! The news of the marriage spread quickly, forcing Mrs. Mu to agree to this family business, but she was afraid that she would ......, this is what Mu Roujia said.

The news of the marriage between the Mu family and the Feng family is well known to everyone, and when it reaches the ears of Prince Xiang and Princess Xiang, he will definitely not fight to offend the Feng family of Fengguo Mansion and marry Mu Roujia again. broke Mrs. Mu's dream of letting her daughter be the princess, and she couldn't pick out a son-in-law who was better than her second brother, coupled with the guidance of rumors, she could only swallow her anger and accept this family business.

Hey......, Roujia, it's so daring!

How could she be sure that this family business would definitely be able to be formed? If it doesn't work out, it will be given up by Prince Xiang's Mansion first, and then by the Feng family, won't it be a failure at both ends? That's embarrassing.

Feng Luan's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

I remember that at that time, Mu Roujia repeatedly told herself to say good things about her in front of her eldest aunt and second brother, but did not mention her eldest uncle. Could it be ......, what did the eldest uncle promise her? That's why it's so bold.

Qian Xiang next to her was still talking endlessly, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady said, the second master and the third master are naughty, like wild horses without a halter, you have to marry your daughter-in-law back quickly, so you can rest assured." He also said that marrying two daughters-in-law in one go is a double happiness, and he can save himself worry in the future......"

Feng Luan faintly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't catch the traces, so the girls chirped, distracting himself, so he waved his hand, "You go to the side and talk." โ€

Akane's smile froze on her face, stunned, "Yes." "Hurry up and retreat.

The other girls also scattered in a hurry.

Baozhu was the last one to go, and she became more and more worried, Miss, what's wrong? If you don't want to see yourself, do you even hate the akane that you โ–กโ–ก? Wasn't she very fond of hearing these new things before? She was worried, turned her head to see the tortoiseshell's back in the room, and secretly took a sip before retreating.

On the corridor, Feng Luan was analyzing what had happened recently.

...... the Xiliang War, the uncle was not in a hurry to go to Prince Ying to persuade him, but he had a tryst with his mother, and then ......, it was the family affairs of the second and third brothers, and he was so anxious and hurried.

What's hidden in this? I vaguely felt that I was afraid that something big would happen outside, so it made the eldest uncle extremely nervous, and began to make arrangements for the juniors of the Feng family to marry with the major families.

Could it be that ......, the eldest uncle didn't persuade Prince Ying? Still haven't been able to change the emperor's mind?!

Her heart suddenly became uneasy!

But things in the world will never develop in a good direction because of what you are worried about or what you are worried about, but the more you don't want something, the more likely it is that something will happen.

What Feng Luan was worried about finally came as scheduled.

Within a few days, a holy decree was issued in the palace. The emperor said that there were rebels and thieves in Xiliang recently, disturbing the people's livelihood, and said a lot of ambitious officialdom, and finally said that the special imperial brother Prince Ying was the generalissimo of Zhenbei, and led 200,000 troops to Xiliang to revitalize the majesty of the imperial court!
