035 Dowry(1)
It's better to say surprise than to be frightened.
As soon as he heard Xiao Ci's voice, Chen immediately got up tremblingly with his cane, and quickly went to the door to salute: "Lord Wang, please go ahead." ”
This Zhixuantang is very mixed, she is afraid that Xiao Ci will not like it, and she will anger this prince, but there is no good fruit to eat in Mu Mansion.
Xiao Ci glanced at Mu An, flicked his sleeves, turned to the front hall, and dropped a sentence: "Keep up." ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can hear it and say it to whomever it is said.
Mu An smashed his tongue in the back: It's really time for her to come out in chaos, she's too dedicated.
Jin Ju, who was holding the tray of clothes, shook his hand, and the clothes fell to the ground, and the crisp sound was particularly "pleasant".
Mu Qingqing reprimanded: "How do you do things? ”
Jin Ju explained: "Miss...... The prince just said......"
He gave this dress to the eldest lady.
Mu Qingqing pinched the handkerchief in his hand and said nothing in front of others.
She didn't believe it!
All his thoughts were ruined on seeing Xiao Ci's snickering, where do you remember who stole the clothes and framed others just now, Lu Yuru was already frightened and at a loss, and came to grab Mu Qingqing.
"Tell my mother where this dress came from."
Mu Qingqing was stunned: "How could Mu An'an have such good clothes, he must have stolen them." ”
"You!!" Lu Yuru's face immediately changed, and she stomped her feet anxiously.
Seeing the anxious look of the two of them, Mu An was happy, she covered her lips and smiled, and said loudly: "Why, the second aunt doesn't go to the front hall to meet the prince."
She turned to the side and said, "Since we are all here, let's go together, don't be stunned." ”
The tone of not allowing others to refuse can be described as very blunt.
When Mu An then arrived in the front hall, he saw that Chen and Xiao Ci had already sat down.
Xiao Ci said in a deep voice: "Is the old lady still healthy?" ”
Chen nodded: "The prison prince is worried, it's okay." ”
"That's good", Xiao Ci raised his eyes and saw Mu An, and frowned involuntarily, what kind of situation was she in Mu Mansion, she hadn't seen her for just half a day, how did she get into this injured appearance.
Ignoring the others, he beckoned to Mu An, and said, "You come here." ”
"Huh?" Mu An blinked, and then smiled and grinned.
"What's the matter with the wound on the head?"
With a "snap", Mu An gently patted the back of the hand that was about to fall on his forehead, and said: "Don't touch it, it hurts tightly, it hurts to speak with one mouth, and it has a long wound." ”
Xiao Ci saw that she could still smile hippie, and what she said didn't matter, her face darkened: "I asked what's going on." ”
Mu An smiled brightly: "What else can I do, I was beaten, it's okay, I'm used to it." ”
Lowering her head, Mu An suddenly had a plan, not that she was used to it, to be precise, her body was used to it.
Mu Ping was startled and shouted: "An'er, what nonsense! ”
Mu An seemed to be really frightened by his words, and spread his hands helplessly without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ci took her hand without saying a word, and lifted her sleeves in front of everyone to see that her originally slender and white arms were blue and purple, and in some places they were slightly swollen, which did not look good.
The person who saw it gasped...... What's going on!
What kind of life does she live every day, Xiao Ci thought, but every time she met him, this person was unabashed hippie smile, and he looked arrogant and unafraid, so that an unrestrained person would really be bullied.
He thought this man was very ruthless, but now that he looks at it, he is not necessarily so.
Gently pulled down her sleeve, Xiao Ci didn't let go, Mu An twitched it but didn't pull it out, it was not light or heavy, and he patted the back of his hand, and the others who watched were dumbfounded.
Mu An whispered: "Lord Wang, let go." ”
"What do you mean to get used to it", Xiao Ci swept around everyone and asked in a raised voice.
Mu An withdrew his arm, took a step back, as if thinking for a while, and calmly counted his fingers: "Why don't you call it habitual, kneeling on the burning bluestone bricks under the scorching sun for a few hours, sweat soaked through the clothes; In the cold wind, he stood barefoot in the heavy snow, knelt in a thin middle coat, and almost froze to death; fell into the lotus pond in the house and was on the verge of drowning; A man has lived in an ancestral hall in the dark, lived in a firewood house, and talked to the moon; I used to be ignorant, and it was common to be kicked and beaten by the house slaves in the house, and I ate rancid meals every day, and I didn't have enough food and clothing......"
She said the most unusual words in the most ordinary tone, and Xiao Ci's heart tightened when she listened, and a different taste made his fists tighten again and again.
Mu An still wanted to think about it again, but usually Anise and Wuxiang didn't say these things to her, for fear that she would be sad, although she wouldn't, so she knew too little, and she couldn't think of anything else for a while, so she exhaled, turned her head and smiled at Xiao Ci, and pointed to the injury on her forehead: "So what is this?" ”
These words were said for the original owner, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a burst of relief in her heart when she said it, as if someone had a faint clear sound in her mind, and gradually dissipated.
These are the sufferings that Mu An'an suffered before she came, isn't it good to say, the hardships that endure are the hardships that make people become masters, and now let her become this people.
Chen quietly wiped away his tears on the side and whispered: "It's all my grandmother, it's all my grandmother." ”
"Grandmother", Mu An said coquettishly: "How can I blame you, grandmother is chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha in the Buddhist hall, and everything outside the courtyard can't be clear, besides, if you don't want your grandmother to know, you won't know." ”
The second room had quietly hidden behind and didn't dare to say anything, Lu Yuru gritted her teeth and was shocked and frightened, and was about to argue a few sentences, but was pulled back by Mu Ping.
Shame on you!
What Mu An said was not true, did she go out at this time for fear that Xiao Ci would not know? Didn't you hit the muzzle of the gun?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ci still shot at them at a glance, Mu Ping's knees were weak and he almost knelt down, he was in a cold sweat, he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, and said humbly: "The prince is here to ...... today."
"By the way, I was about to ask you", Mu An got up and interrupted Mu Ping's words disappretently, and said to Xiao Ci: "It's not bad to say anything when you come, let's go out and talk about something." ”
Just now she suddenly remembered something, and seeing that Yan Kuan didn't follow him, she said in her heart: He won't really come to propose!
blinked at him vigorously, and deliberately said: "My injury is all because of you, tell me, where did I go last night, and where did I get that clothes?" ”
Xiao Ci hugged his fist at Chen's family and said in a deep voice: "She was indeed in the junior mansion last night, and she did enter the palace with the junior today, which made the old lady worried." ”
The words are all on this, and the sentence "junior" flattered the Chen family, where do they dare to say more, they are overjoyed, and they never thought that Xiao Ci would take such a fancy to An'er.
She is happy, under Jiuquan, Nan Jun and Chu Jun must be at ease.
Everything in Zhixuan Hall just now was suddenly slapped in the face, and the others exchanged heads and talked about it, Lu Yuru and Mu Qingqing lost their faces, and they didn't dare to refute.
Mu An smiled, glanced at Xiao Ci gratefully, turned back to Mu Qingqing and said, "Second sister, can you hear clearly?" ”
Mu Qingqing was pushed by Mu Ping, and suddenly knelt on the ground, her knees hurt, and she looked up and stared at her father in disbelief: "Dad!" ”
"Kowtow to your big sister and admit your mistakes!" Mu Ping said coldly.
Where did Mu Qingqing suffer such a grievance, he refused with red eyes, and looked at Lu Yuru aggrievedly, but Lu Yuru couldn't help it.
Mu An: "If you know your mistakes, you have to change them, where has the second sister learned etiquette for so many years?" ”
No one sympathized with her, Mu Qingqing's tears snapped out, her nails were embedded in her palms, she bit her lip as if she couldn't feel the pain, and endured the hatred in her heart.
At this time, how could she still have the face to look at Xiao Ci, and the person she admired sat high in front of her, staring at her with disdain, and giving pity to the person she hated.
How ridiculous.
Mu Qingqing's face was distorted, and he kowtowed three times: "Big sister, I was wrong." ”
Mu An: "What's wrong?" ”
The more embarrassed Mu Qingqing became, the more she asked her to say her embarrassment in front of everyone.
Sure enough, Mu Qingqing's face turned pale, and he was angry: "I shouldn't frame the big sister, I shouldn't deliberately ruin the big sister's name, and I shouldn't steal the big sister's clothes." ”
After two loud applause, Mu An shouted: "It's good to know that you're wrong, there's no next time, you weigh it yourself, okay, get up." ”
When Mu Qingqing was helped up by Lu Yuru, his whole person was empty, and there were many figures in front of him.
Chen shook his head and glanced at Xiao Ci: "Let the second young lady repent in the ancestral hall tonight, and you are not allowed to let her out without my order!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Mu Qingqing fell directly into Lu Yuru's arms.
Lu Yuru exclaimed: "Qing'er, my Qing'er ......."
But everyone present was unmoved, even Mu Ping was cold-eyed.
Xiao got up and walked to Mu An's side: "I came today to bring some things to Mu An, to disturb the old lady, and the younger generation will come back at a later date." ”
"Okay, good", Chen nodded again and again.
Mu An was stunned, he didn't come to propose.
After a while, Yan Kuan was followed by dozens of people, carrying a full sixteen red lacquer boxes in.
The people in Mu Mansion were stunned.
The outfit on this box looks like a ...... I'm hired!
For a while, the entire courtyard of Mu Mansion was as quiet as if people had died.
It took a long time for Chen to come back and ask cautiously: "The prince is here to hire." ”
"No", Xiao Ci was categorical.
"But, how can this ceremony be all red, and this red silk ......?!"
"It's not a hiring, because Mu An likes this look, she likes red", Xiao Ci lied and didn't change his face: "So I just used this box casually, and today I just gave Mu An some supplies on weekdays, Mu Fu treats her so meanly, although she can't stay for a few days, but this king wants her to be happy." ”
This is said to someone else.
Mu Ping on the side wiped his sweat no less than ten times in just half a day, and he didn't dare to say anything except nodding his head.
I'm afraid that he will have no official position in the next moment.
Mu An's mouth opened wide in surprise and raised his ...... Did she use it so much?
To be honest, she was quite impressed.
This guy is really good.
Glancing at her, Xiao Ci said to the people in the palace: "Carry it into the Danning Courtyard." ”
"Yes."
The octagonal eyes finished laughing, and immediately volunteered to lead the way, and almost put on his wings and flew up.
Out of Mu Du, Yan Kuan's face was solemn, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally raised his head and asked, "Master, didn't we go to the next place?" How can it become a gift. ”
Is there such a gift? Miss Mu also likes red silk - it can really be pulled.
Xiao Ci paused as he got into the carriage, and turned back with a calm face: "The dowry is re-prepared, and tomorrow I will enter the palace to ask for a holy decree from the emperor, and come together." ”
Yan Kuan thought that he had heard it wrong, and gouged out his ears: "That master, prepare for the dowry...... How much? ”
After a moment of silence, Xiao Ci lightly dropped a sentence: "Sixty-four lifts." ”
With a "bang", Yan Kuan's eyes fell to the ground.
Xiao Ci in the carriage closed his eyes tightly, everything today made him reacquaint himself with Mu An.
It takes a lot of courage to endure all the suffering and still love it.
