Overnight, the news that the prince of Beiyu stepped on the red carpet and went to the Qinglou to spend a good night with Oiran Su spread throughout Yunzhou City, and there was a lot of discussion among the people for a while.

Because Mu Qiuhuang went to the military camp since he was a child and stayed in Yunzhou City for very little time, Mu Qiuhuang's impression among the people of Yunzhou City was far less profound than that of his brother Mu Qiulin.

And the news that the prince stayed in the Qinglou all night and did not return also resounded in the Beiyu Marquis Mansion for the first time, and everyone's reactions after learning the news were also different.

Kirin Garden.

Mu Qiulin, who was eating breakfast, heard the news, and said with a happy face: "It seems that my eldest brother has completely given up on himself, and he dares to step on the red carpet to go to the Qinglou, and he really doesn't even care about the face of the Hou Mansion?" ”

"Childe is respectful." A middle-aged man said to Mu Qiulin.

Mu Qiulin glanced at the middle-aged man, but he was not angry. He smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, for mentioning, it's me Meng Lang." ”

……

In the Garden of Flowers.

"Madam, now there are rumors in the city that the eldest son's behavior is absurd, far less stable than the second son's behavior, do you want to add more fire to the slave?" An old lady came to report to Princess Changling with excitement on her face.

Princess Changling ignored the old lady's words, picked up an eyebrow pencil and gently drew her eyebrows.

Seeing Princess Changling behaving like this, the excitement on the old lady's face just now disappeared, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground and palmed her mouth.

"It's the old slave who talks too much."

……

In the Sycamore Garden.

"Sister Xia He, what should I do?" Chun Tao was so anxious that she jumped to her feet.

"Now it's spread all over the city, saying that Gongzi not only spent 100,000 gold bags to get a smile on that little Oiran in order to win that little Oiran smile, but also laid out a ten-zhang red carpet outside the Qinglou...... Why do you say Childe is so confused? Even if you go to the Qinglou, can't you go secretly? Now everyone in the city is rumoring that the son is acting absurdly, saying that the son is not as good as the second son? In my opinion, it's all to blame for the little fox girl? ”

"Okay, okay, come and see if this flower arrangement I made looks good?" Xia He held up a flower arrangement and shouted at Chun Tao.

"Sister Xia He, it's all this time, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" Seeing Xia He's calm face, Chun Tao said dissatisfiedly.

"You! Always likes to make a fuss. ”

Xia He reluctantly put down the flower arrangement, nodded Chun Tao's forehead with his fingers, and said, "Childe acts, how can you and I understand?" If you're not busy, why don't you go to the peach garden and help me pick a few more peach blossoms? ”

"Humph! Ignore you, in vain Gongzi usually loves you so much, I'll go to Sister Qiushuang? ”

"Autumn Frost went out early in the morning."

"Then I'll go find Sister Dongxue?"

"Dongxue is practicing swords at this time, so I guess I don't have time to pay attention to you."

……

Mu Qingen was standing by the Qujiang Pond with a small bowl at this time to feed the koi, and a handful of fish food was scattered, attracting a group of koi to compete for food.

"Lord Hou, the young master laid out the ten-zhang red carpet in front of the Liujing River yesterday to entertain the Northern Desert border army, that group of border troops have been in Yunzhou for two days, and they all stayed at the Cirrus Inn a few days ago, they have all fought with the young master and the golden cavalry in front of Mangdang Mountain.

Oiran Su Xiaoxiao is the "feather" in the swallow's foot, and it has been found out that the "palace" and "business" in the swallow's foot are also in Yunzhou City, the "palace" is incarnated as the big shopkeeper in the Cirrus Cloud Inn, and the "business" is hidden in a bookstore called Lao Bizhai in the north of the city, and the purpose of the swallow's foot should be to get close to the young master. ”

The person who speaks does not know where to hide? The sound was only loud enough for Mu Qingen to hear.

"yes, got it."

Mu Qingen didn't reply without replying, as if he was talking to himself.

At this moment, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion hurriedly came to report: "Master Hou, the young master has returned to Wutong Garden." ”

"Well, let the young master come back to my study later." Mu Qingen said expressionlessly.

"Yes." The butler answered and bowed down.

"Take refuge in Huang'er? This trick is clever, so it's really hard for me to uproot the swallow's feet. Mu Qingen muttered to herself, and sprinkled all the remaining fish food in the bowl into the pool.

It turned out that from the beginning of the fight, every move of Yanzu and everyone was in Mu Qingen's hands.

……

"Childe, you're back, you're worried about me."

Mu Qiuhuang had just stepped into Wutong Garden, and saw Chun Tao shouting.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qiuhuang was puzzled.

"Childe, you don't know yet, do you? Now the whole city is saying that you are acting ridiculously! Hmph, they stupid people will follow suit. Chun Tao said indignantly to Mu Qiuhuang.

"What shall I do? It turns out that this is it, let them talk about it! Mu Qiuhuang said disapprerovingly.

Chun Tao saw that Mu Qiuhuang didn't care, but she didn't want to say anything.

"Xia He, go and help me prepare the bath water, I want to bathe."

"Chun Tao, go make me a cup of strong tea."

After Mu Qiuhuang finished instructing the two of them, he lay on the chair and squinted, he talked with Su Xiaoxiao very late last night, and it was inevitable that he would be a little sleepy in the morning.

Mu Qiuhuang woke up at noon and found that he was wearing a blanket and a cup of strong tea on the coffee table beside him. When Mu Qiuhuang took the teacup and drank it all, he found that the tea was still warm, presumably because Chun Tao had changed the strong tea from time to time. With a soft call, Chun Tao and Xia He pushed the door in, and it turned out that the two of them had been guarding the door.

Seeing Mu Qiuhuang wake up, Chun Tao stepped forward with a worried face and reported: "Son, it's amazing, just now the housekeeper came over and said that Master Hou asked you to go to the study." ”

"Why don't you wake me up?" Mu Qiuhuang asked.

"I want to wake up my son, but Sister Xia He won't let me." Chun Tao puffed out her mouth.

Xia He said calmly: "The housekeeper said that it was okay, and it would be good to go over after the son woke up, so the slave maid took it upon herself to let the son sleep for a while." ”

"I see."

Mu Qiuhuang nodded and said, "In this case, let's wait for me to take a bath and change my clothes!" ”

……

Mu Qingen's study is very spacious, the size of two Liquan in Wutong Garden, but the layout is very simple and not cumbersome.

The study is surrounded by a circle of sandalwood bookshelves, although the bookshelf is large, but there are not many books placed on it, only a few military books and maps, the rest are famous book stickers, there is a large case made of a whole piece of rosewood in the center, and the four treasures of the study room placed on the case are also the top products, the inkstone is the best Chengni treasure inkstone, the rice paper is white and snowy, the pen holder is placed with different sizes of wolf pen, and a few pieces of pine smoke ink.

When Mu Qiuhuang came to the study, Mu Qingen was standing by the window with a military book to study.

"The child has seen his father, but he does not know what the father called the child?" Mu Qiuhuang saluted Mu Qingen and asked.

"Sit down and wait until I'm done reading the book." Mu Qingen said to Mu Qiuhuang.

"Oh"

Mu Qiuhuang answered, picked up a chair at random and sat down, and quietly looked at Mu Qingen by the window, Mu Qiuhuang only noticed that although Mu Qingen's figure was still majestic, his temples were a little white.

"It turns out that my father is old." Mu Qiuhuang's nose was a little sour.

After about half a cup of tea, Mu Qingen put down the military book in his hand and walked to the chair opposite Mu Qiuhuang and sat down.

The father and son looked at each other with their eyes on each other, and neither spoke to each other for a long time.

Mu Qingen seemed to want to say something, but the words came to her lips and she forcibly swallowed them again, and finally took out a silk book from the bookcase drawer and handed it to Mu Qiuhuang.

"What is this?" Mu Qiuhuang was puzzled.

Mu Qingen looked at Mu Qiuhuang and smiled: "This is your marriage book." ”
