Glancing back at the table full of tempting delicacies, Mu An politely said, "Wang Ye and Shen Gongzi want to eat no more?" ”

Xiao Ci's eyes flashed, and he quickly grabbed Shen Xingbai, who was about to put one leg on the chair, and said, "No need." ”

Mu An was overjoyed, bent down and bowed with both hands: "Then the prince will go slowly and don't send it." ”

……

Xiao Ci suppressed the breath in his throat, and reminded her for a while: "Come with me to the palace in two days." ”

Mu Andu sat back and froze when he heard this: "What are you doing in the palace?" ”

"The emperor wants to see you."

"......" Mu An: "Can I not go?" ”

Glancing at her, Xiao Ci dropped a sentence: "What do you think?" "It's gone.

After a good meal, Mu An's good mood instantly folded by half, Bajiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and patted his chest: "I'm scared to death." ”

"Miss, does the emperor want to see you?" Wuxiang turned around twice: "I can't wear the clothes before that." ”

Muan: "Why? ”

"This is entering the palace, Miss still goes in with the prince", Wuxiang flattened her mouth: "Miss didn't have a few clothes to go out, and the clothes she ordered the ready-to-wear workshop to make are also dresses on weekdays, and you can't wear them on important occasions, not to mention ......"

Besides, in order to save trouble, Mu An also cut a lot, and it didn't look like a good look, and if he wore it into the palace, he wouldn't be laughed to death.

Speaking of this, even the anise was anxious: "Then let's hurry up and let Du Yao do it." ”

Wuxiang shook her head: "It's too late." ”

Du Yao nodded.

That's right, at most two days, how can you have time to make a noble dress, and now the garment workshop can do the only one Du Yao, and he can't be busy with his hands.

Mu An poked his chopsticks and thought for a moment...... That's a lot of.

"Forget it, eat first", looked back at them with a smile: "It's not a big deal to be in a hurry here, it's better to go back and find a way to eat a full stomach, take out all the clothes from before and take a look, maybe there is really a set that can make do, it's okay." ”

If she doesn't wear a broken point, the emperor can still blame her for not being able to do it, if she feels that she is not worthy of Xiao Ci, it is just right to break this marriage contract.

After a few words of advice to the garment workshop, Du Yao said that he would find good materials first and make them slowly, maybe it would be too late.

Mu An went around, bought some daily necessities, and returned home with a few girls.

There was a carriage parked by the side door of the Mu Mansion, and after a hurried glance at Mu An, he stepped up the steps, and suddenly a gentle voice came from behind.

"Big sister wait!"

"Huh?"

Turning her head suspiciously, Mu Lanlan carefully got off the carriage with a pleated Ruyi moon skirt, the hibiscus-colored skirt was extremely elegant, she looked a little delicate, covered her handkerchief and coughed lightly a few times before walking over, and smiled: "I've seen my sister." ”

Mu An was stunned, and then listened to the anise and the five spices: "Third Miss." ”

Oh...... Mu Lanlan, the eldest daughter of the third room, is knowledgeable and talented, but she has been frail and sickly since she was a child and rarely goes out.

Mu An hooked his lips and smiled: "What is the third sister doing here, I will only return to the house now." ”

"In the morning, I went to the bathing Buddha temple outside the city to pray for blessings and incense, and I was delayed in the temple because of the fatigue of the boat", Mu Lanlan lowered his head: "Since I was a child, it takes time to go out every time, and slowly no one wants to go out with me." ”

The loneliness under her eyelids came suddenly, Mu An didn't know how to comfort her, but it was a little strange how Lin Suyan loved her so much, how could she not accompany her.

Perhaps seeing her doubts, Mu Lanlan immediately explained: "My mother is unwell today, and I often went alone in the past." ”

Mu An raised his eyebrows: "Often? ”

The painting beside Mu Lanlan helped her and said: "Miss, our lady has to go to the Buddha Temple every month to pray for blessings, and it has never been interrupted for three years, and the eldest lady didn't go out of the yard before, so I don't know." ”

I see, Mu An nodded: "I really don't know, it turns out that the third sister still has this habit." ”

"Let my sister smile", Mu Lanlan said softly: "Can my eldest sister accompany me next month?" ”

Isn't it just to go to the incense, what's so difficult, Mu An readily agreed: "Of course you can, next time my sister can call me directly." ”

Mu Lanlan was overjoyed: "Thank you, sister." ”

"No thanks", Mu An waved his hand, turned around and strode in the direction of the Denning Courtyard.

Mu Lanlan stared at her dashing back in front of the mansion for a long time, and the little maid in front of the door reminded her: "Third Miss, are you still in?" ”

"Oh, let's go and draw."

Hua'er quickly helped her steady, and muttered in her ear as she walked: "The eldest lady has really changed a lot, before she and Miss you talked with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and she didn't dare to raise her head, but now how can she be arrogant, I feel that her tail is up to the sky." ”

"Paint!" Mu Lanlan scolded her in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Hua'er lowered her head: "Miss, the slave is telling the truth. ”

Mu Lanlan's steps sank and he didn't speak again, but his eyes kept glancing in the direction of the Denning Courtyard.

It's really different, it's not the same at all.

Lin Suyan told her before that she had time to be close to Mu An, she was still very puzzled, she knew that Mu Qingqing was jealous of Mu An when she was a child, so after the big house was down, the mother and daughter in the second room rarely looked at her, and she had always watched their struggle coldly, glad that she was not Mu An, and suddenly fell from the clouds into the dirt.

Now it seems that Mu An seems to be returning to the clouds little by little, so what about her?

is still the same, neither like Mu Qingqing who met many sons and ladies of the family with Lu Yuru, nor like Mu An'an, who has been riding the dust since childhood.

's father is not involved in the court, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact, her dowry is not more than a fraction of Mu An's, and it is not high or low, even if she has a veritable talent, what can she do, how can she compare with others.

Thinking of this, Mu Lanlan suddenly threw off the painting, and walked quickly towards his courtyard, the painting was startled, and whispered behind him: "Miss, Miss, slow down, don't fall——! ”

Denin-in

As soon as Mu An returned, he lay down on the bed, looking up at the roof, thinking wildly.

Wuxiang poured the tea and brought it over, and glanced at her: "Miss, what do you think of the third lady?" ”

"How's that?" Mu An flipped it over, but the tea in Wuxiang's hand was drunk, and he raised his eyes to ask her.

Wuxiang said, "How about the third lady?" ”

Mu An thought about it, this was the first time she and Mu Lanlan met, and the first impression was nothing special, so she replied casually: "It's good, soft and weak are easy to arouse people's desire to protect." ”

"Miss Three has always been like this, and there was a time when she almost couldn't survive," Wuxiang whispered.

Mu An was slightly surprised: "Is she sick?" So serious? The third uncle ran outside all day long and didn't find any good treatment to cure her frailty? ”

Wuxiang shook her head: "This slave and maid are not clear, the slave and maid also know about it by running in the house every day recently, listening to the mother in the kitchen chewing the root of her tongue, saying that the third lady does not seem to love the third lady as much as she seems, and the third lady died of illness three years ago and was shocked and scared for a while, and finally saw that the third lady survived and seemed to be even more disliked." ”

Muan: "......"

What a reason! My daughter is sick and afraid that she will die, but she is not happy if she is not dead?

Look at Lin Suyan is not such a person?

This incident aroused Mu An's gossip, she pricked up her ears and asked Wuxiang: "Why is this?" ”

"The slave maid still listened to the mother in the kitchen, they said that the third master wanted a son to inherit his family business, so he had high expectations for the third lady, but the third lady gave birth to the third lady on the first child, and the third master didn't like it."

Mu An sighed coldly, isn't this a clear patriarchy.

Didn't Lin Suyan give birth to a son later, now she is about four or five years old, anyway, Mu An has never seen it, and she can't remember how many children there are in each room without mentioning this stubble.

It's none of her business, after listening to the gossip, Mu An lay back again, she found that the kitchen was a good place, and the old women were very good at everything except what they didn't give her, and they knew everything in the corners of the house.

Of course, it's just some, and the important things are not yet known to them.

"Bathing Buddha Temple—" muttered a few words.

Mu An turned over, glanced out the window, the sky was going to be dark, and she said in a low voice, "Wuxiang, you and Qing Jian will accompany me to the ancestral hall in the evening." ”

It's time to go and offer incense to Mu Nanjun and his wife, the old lady specially reminded her last time, and it has been delayed until now.

Wuxiang was rummaging through the cabinets to sort out her clothes: "Miss, it's dark, let's go again tomorrow, there is nothing in the ancestral hall at night, it's weird and gloomy, what is Miss going to do?" ”

"What for?" Mu An sighed: "Let's go at night." ”

Taking advantage of no one, she was steady, quiet, and sincere.

After all, she is not really Mu An'an.

Although Wuxiang was puzzled, she didn't dare to refute it, bowed her head and went out to find Qingjian.

The Denning Courtyard is so big, and Qing Jian is also a busy person, sometimes Wuxiang can't find anyone when she runs all over the yard.

Mu An knew that Qing Jian would sometimes go out of the house over the wall, but she never asked much, Qing Jian must have her own things to do, and she would naturally say when she should say it, isn't it just mutual trust between people.

Just after the hour, the whole street fell silent, and the lights in Mu's house were turned off early.

Mu An lit a lamp, changed into plain clothes, Wuxiang carried a lantern, Qing Jian followed behind the three of them quietly out of the Danning Courtyard, to the ancestral hall at the back of the Mu Mansion.

After all, it was rewarded to be the general's mansion, and the foundation of the Mu mansion was not small, and it was necessary to go around to the ancestral hall behind to pass two rockeries and a bamboo forest.

Listening to the octagonal muttering, the bamboo forest was taken care of by the people around Mu Nanjun before, but now people have no bamboo forest and grow on their own, and it is quiet all the way, and the moonlight has long been lost in the black clouds.

is depressed and heavy, and the slightest wind and grass is particularly obvious.

Wuxiang took two steps timidly and looked back, and Mu An simply reached over and let her lead.

"Miss, why is this road so long?"

Mu An laughed at her: "I haven't been here again." How do I know that you can't be the one who leads the wrong way? ”

Wuxiang stopped and didn't leave: "No, slave maid...... That's right. ”

"Stupid, lied to you."

Mu An walked briskly through the path of the day with her skirt, the light in front of her was faintly visible, and the candle flame in the ancestral hall was not extinguished night and night, which was what the old lady meant, no matter when, the ancestral hall should be lit.

Mu An stood in front of the door of the ancestral hall, took a deep breath, and gently pushed open the heavy wooden door.
