The wheel ran over the bustling West Fourth Pailou Street and headed south, Yang Muyun straightened his clothes, and suddenly said as if he remembered something: "By the way, quickly turn the horse's head"

"What's the matter, sir?" Ning Xin asked strangely.

"I have to go back and change my clothes," Yang Muyun said, "It's too disrespectful for me to wear this guard uniform to see my father-in-law." ”

"It's okay, master," Ning Xin persuaded with a smile: "You are so angry in this official uniform, the old lady will only be even happier when he sees it." ”

Su Yue grinned and hugged Ning Xin's fragrant shoulder and said, "Yo, look at your happy appearance, you are already so oriented to the master, you must know that the old lady used to spoil you very much!" ”

"Little hoof, are you drunk, don't talk nonsense." Ning Xin was ashamed and annoyed, and reached out to scratch Su Yue's armpit, Su Yue smiled and dodged.

"Master, don't listen to Su Yue's nonsense, I am a waiter for Mrs., and I have never been to the old lady." Ning Xin argued in front of Yang Muyun.

Yang Muyun smiled faintly, "I'll go to Mengnan, did you tell Dai Yu and Minyu?" ”

"Well," Ning Xin bowed slightly, "Don't worry, the maid has already informed them, Dai Yu didn't say anything, but that Minyu also asked the master if he would come back in the evening." ”

"And what did you say to her?" Yang Muyun asked.

"The maid said that the master is going back to his own house, so he naturally wants to rest there." Ning Xin said with a flash of her eyes.

Yang Muyun sighed softly, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

"What's the matter, sir, is the servant wrong?" Ning Xin was a little apprehensive when she saw it.

Yang Muyun shook his head, looked out the window, and just asked casually, "How far is that place?" ”

Zhou Mengnan's new mansion in the capital is located in the banknote alley of Dashi Yongfang, which was originally a mansion for the children of the courtiers, whose ancestors had been martyred with Emperor Taizong, and later was imprisoned in the edict of Fusi in Beizhen for offending Wang Zhen. His family urgently needed money to atone for his sins, so they sold the mansion to Zhou Mengnan at a low price. After Zhou Mengnan moved in, it was renovated again, so it looked more magnificent than before.

After Yang Muyun got off the carriage, he saw a huge stone memorial arch, and there was the inscription of Emperor Taizong on it "merit in a thousand autumns", which was to commend the meritorious deeds of the meritorious man that year.

The house behind the archway flies the eaves and arches, the high courtyard Zhu Gate, the two stone lions crouching in front of the door, not angry and self-prestigious, very magnificent.

Su Yue stepped forward and patted the door, the door slowly opened, half open, and a person wearing a hat and a brown silk robe walked out from inside, it turned out to be Feng Quan.

"Uncle, you can come," Feng Quan stepped forward as soon as he saw Yang Muyun as if he had met an amnesty, "Master, Madame and Miss have been waiting for you for a long time, come in with me!" ”

Yang Muyun nodded slightly and followed Feng Quan into the mansion.

This courtyard occupies a huge area, there are many pavilions and pavilions inside, carved beams and painted buildings, Zhumen green tiles, very magnificent. Yang Muyun followed Feng Quan through a moon gate, and under the shining lights, he saw the beautiful trees in front of him, strange flowers burning, and a clear stream, which zigzagled from the depths of the flowers and trees under the stone gap. Along the bluestone road to go not far forward, gradually flat and wide, the pavilions on both sides stand, carved and embroidered thresholds, all hidden in the col between the branches.

"It seems that Meng Nan has gained a lot from entering Beijing this time." Yang Muyun said with a light smile.

"It's not easy for Miss to run a huge family business," Feng Quan sighed, "This house has been talked about, but it has been a lot of twists and turns!" ”

"The prince has a lot to do in the middle!" Yang Muyun didn't follow his words, but he came out coldly.

"Uncle, how can you ......" Feng Quan was stunned, and then said: "When Miss comes to Beijing, it is naturally indispensable to deal with the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing, and it is really difficult for Miss to come forward for everything." ”

Yang Muyun nodded slightly expressionlessly, and asked after a momentary moment: "How could my father-in-law come to Beijing, do you have to transfer all the Zhou family's industries to Beijing?" ”

"The master and the young lady haven't seen each other for a long time," Feng Quan said: "I heard that the young lady came to the capital with you again, and I was very worried about it, so I came with my wife." ”

The corners of Yang Muyun's lips hooked, and he said meaningfully, "Did she come to Beijing with me?" I don't know. ”

"My uncle is an official in Beijing, and he is busy with official business, and the young lady can't bear to disturb you, and there are some of them." Feng Quan said with a smile.

The two talked and came to the backyard. There is a big pond in the backyard, look carefully, several clear streams around carry the roaring water splash into the pool, the white stone is the railing, encircling the pond edge, a stone bridge extends to a small island in the center of the pool, the rockery and green trees on the island, clustered with a high-rise building that rises from the ground, the high-rise building is about three floors, the lanterns are everywhere around, and the upstairs is brightly lit.

"It's here, uncle," Feng Quan stretched out his hand, "Master, Madame and Miss are waiting for you upstairs to come!" ”

Yang Muyun smiled slightly, "There is a place to come, and the big driver is exempt, and I am not a distinguished guest, how can there be a reason for the three of them to greet each other?" As he spoke, he walked past Feng Quan's side and walked towards the stone bridge.

"Uncle, what you said is really interesting." Feng Quan's cheeks trembled, he wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, and when he saw Yang Muyun on the stone bridge, he hurriedly followed.

......

"Xianggong, you're here." Under the red lantern in front of the building, Zhou Mengnan wore high temples, a string of jade flower headbands on his forehead, wore a scarlet shirt embroidered with gold ornaments, and wore a peach-colored skirt on his lower body, which made the whole person look jeweled and graceful.

Looking at her serene smile, Yang Muyun also smiled and said, "My father-in-law is here, how can I not come to visit." ”

"Look at what you said," Zhou Mengnan's eyes rolled on him, and he said angrily: "If my father doesn't come, will you never come to this door?" Then he smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about it, my father and mother should be in a hurry, let's go up quickly!" ”

Behind the wooden screen of a hall on the third floor, there is a table of eight immortals, which is full of fine food and wine. From here, you can see the entire backyard. A man and a woman sat on the main seat, the man was in his early forties, with a clear and handsome appearance, wearing a flat square scarf, three locks of long beard under the chin, and wearing a refreshing light cyan home swallow suit, which was very elegant. The woman was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a three-color paddy field coat and a string of jade headbands on her forehead, and her appearance was unusually beautiful.

The man was Zhou Bo'an, and the woman was Mrs. Feng. Zhou Bo'an twisted three locks of long beard in his hands, tapped his knuckles on the tabletop, and looked out the window with a pair of slender eyes.

"Master, don't worry, he should be coming soon." Mrs. Feng persuaded with a smile on the side.

"Hmm......" Zhou Bo'an retracted his gaze and said thoughtfully, "Madam, did you think he would come?" ”

"Master," Mrs. Feng glanced at him in surprise, "How could you say such strange things, Mu Yun is your son-in-law, you are here, how can he not come to visit you, no matter how busy the official affairs of the officials in the capital are, he will not stay up all night, right?" ”

"I didn't mean that," Zhou Bo'an glanced at Mrs. Feng, "I'm afraid that he will have trouble with Meng Nan, so he won't come." ”

"Are they having a mess? Why haven't you heard Meng Nan mention it? Mrs. Feng said curiously: "When you mentioned Mu Yun, she said a lot, and there is nothing wrong with it?" ”

"How did you do a mother?" Zhou Bo'an shook his head slightly, "You didn't see me when I asked about their life together, she was vague in a flash. ”

"Sir, are you thinking too much?" Mrs. Feng said: "Meng Nan has only been married to him for a few months, and there are some people who are ashamed to talk about private affairs. ”

The corners of Zhou Bo'an's eyes curled slightly, and he cast a faint glance at her and said, "Haven't you carefully observed, what is the difference between Meng Nan's behavior and before?" ”

She ...... It's always been like that, what's the difference? Mrs. Feng thought for a moment and said.

"You," the corners of Zhou Bo'an's mouth hooked, "Our daughter walks lightly, her eyebrows are locked and her waist is straight, her neck is thin and her back is straight, and she is ...... standing, sitting and lying down" said in a low voice in Mrs. Feng's ear: "I suspect that there is no husband and wife between them at all." ”

"What?" Mrs. Feng opened her mouth wide in shock, "This ...... How is this possible, isn't it Yang Muyun who is messing around with flowers and grass outside and snubbing our daughter? ”

Zhou Bo'an shook his head slowly, "Mu Yun, this child's whole mind is on seeking fame, when he was studying in Huzhou Mansion, he was clean and self-conscious, and he had no bad deeds, so where did he mess with flowers?" ”

Madame Feng glared at him

Eye said: "What about him now?" This official is also in office, and his name is gone, will he still be as honest as before? ”

"This ......" Zhou Boan pondered for a moment and said: "It's hard to say, his personality should be considered his duty." ”

"Doing one's duty? How so? Mrs. Feng glanced at her husband, she didn't believe that men would do their duty to women, as far as her personal maid Ning Xin was concerned, if she hadn't been sent to her daughter's side, she would have been occupied by the man in front of her.

"Don't hide it from Madame," Zhou Bo'an's eyes rolled, and he said with a rather strange expression: "Not only our daughter, but even Su Yue and Ning Xin, I'm sure he hasn't touched it." ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Feng was really stunned this time, with her daughter's appearance, it was impossible for a man not to be moved. Su Yue and Ning Xin are the two most outstanding maids in the entire Zhou Mansion, and even Zhou Bo'an coveted them when he saw them, but why didn't Yang Muyun ...... She closed her eyes: this son-in-law of hers, there won't be anything wrong, right?

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Mrs. Feng opened her eyes, looked at her husband, and looked at the wooden screen at the door......

"Father, mother." Zhou Mengnan turned from behind the screen with a smile on her face, and behind her was Yang Muyun with a blank face.

"The son-in-law has seen his father-in-law and mother-in-law." Yang Muyun waved at Zhou Boan and Mrs. Feng.

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite." Zhou Bo'an stood up with a smile, stepped forward and grabbed Yang Muyun's hand and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, we haven't seen each other for a few days. ”

"Yes, yes," Mrs. Feng also said on the side, "Seeing your current outfit reminds me of when you first got married." ”

Yang Muyun was dressed in a red unicorn guard uniform, with Zhou Mengnan's scarlet embroidered gold gown, he really looked like a couple of newcomers who got married.

"I wanted to change into civilian clothes to see my father-in-law," Yang Muyun said: "But it's getting late, and I'm afraid that I'll be delayed when I go back to change my clothes, so I came in an official uniform, and I hope my father-in-law won't blame me!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Zhou Bo'an smiled and pulled him to his seat and sat down, "so that I can see how powerful the virtuous son-in-law is in an official uniform." ”

"Virtuous son-in-law," Mrs. Feng said with a smile, "I heard what you said to go back and change your clothes, could it be that you still live elsewhere?" ”

"Mother," without waiting for Yang Muyun to speak, Zhou Mengnan hurriedly said: "Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi arranged a place for Xianggong, which is in Baoxiang Hutong of Mingyufang, in order to go to the Yamen office conveniently. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Feng rolled her eyes and said, "Meng Nan, I also walked around this capital during the day, it seems that this place is closer to the place where Mu Yun was on an errand, right?" ”

"What my mother-in-law said is very true," Yang Muyun took over and said: "I'm just used to living in that place, and it's far away from the downtown area, so it's quieter." ”

"Mu Yun," Mrs. Feng seemed to have a smile on her face, poured a glass of wine and brought it to Yang Muyun, "My family Mengnan has followed her father to the north and south since she was a child, and there are very few times when she is by my side, and she is not familiar with knitting girls or anything, if there is any neglect with you, please bear with me!" ”

"Mother-in-law," Yang Muyun hurriedly stood up, "Where is the reason why you are an elder and a junior wine?" It's really killing Mu Yun! ”

"Mother......" Zhou Mengnan glanced at Mrs. Feng with disgust, and stepped forward to take the wine glass in her hand, "What's wrong with you, it should be us toasting you, you treat my husband like this, why is he still sitting here?" ”

"Yes, yes, madam," Zhou Bo'an also said, "Today is a good day for our family reunion, don't embarrass my virtuous son-in-law." ”

"It seems that I think too much," Mrs. Feng smiled leisurely: "Don't blame the virtuous son-in-law, I, as a mother, am always afraid that my daughter will be wronged by marrying someone else, so I ...... You don't blame me for being abrupt, do you? ”

"Where, my mother-in-law is too worried," Yang Muyun smiled unnaturally on his face, "Meng Nan is so capable, and the son-in-law admires her very much in his heart, how dare she be wronged in the slightest?" ”

"That's good," Mrs. Feng smiled, "Then you can settle down and live here, so that our family Mengnan can do her duty as a wife, and you don't have to worry about you all the time." ”
