Chapter 471: Matchmaking
Xie Shurou was so angry with Gu Yilan that her liver hurt, and she was about to open her mouth to reply, but she saw a few people turning out of the corner of the courtyard. Two palace maids led the way, followed by Mrs. Mu and Mu Hongsheng, they appeared on the stone road leading to the main hall in the apse of Yuyang Palace, and one of the palace maids also turned her head to accompany the smiling face, not knowing what to say to Mrs. Mu.
Xie Shurou immediately stopped her mouth, stretched out her hand and beckoned to Mu Hongsheng. After Mu Hongshang saw them, she turned her head to greet Mrs. Mu and ran towards them.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Xie, why are you standing here?" Mu Hongshang looked up at the sun: "The sun is still quite poisonous, be careful of the sunburn." ”
"It's fine." Xie Shurou stretched out her hand and grabbed Mu Hongsheng's hand: "It's bright here, and there are no people, once someone approaches, you can see it immediately." ”
Mu Hongshang understood in seconds. She nodded and stood on the side facing the sun, she was the tallest of the three girls, standing here could help Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan cover the dazzling sun a little.
"Why have you been here for so long?" Gu Yilan stretched her neck to look in the direction of Old Madam Mu, and after seeing the palace maids helping Old Madam Mu to sit down, she turned around and asked, "It's been two quarters of an hour." What did the queen say? Why did she think of rewarding you with Chaoyang Wufeng hairpin? Could it be that I really want to recognize you as my goddaughter? ”
"She didn't say it explicitly." Mu Hongshang shook her head: "But she talked a lot to her grandmother in circles, and I guess she actually wanted to protect me." ”
"Escort?" When Gu Yilan heard this, she couldn't help but be angry and rushed straight to her head, but now that she was in the palace, she still forced her anger and asked, "What did she say?" ”
"What do good women ask for?" Mu Hongshang replied: "At first, she kept praising me, but my grandmother ignored her, and directly asked me to kowtow and thank her, and then my grandmother said that her granddaughter was ordinary, and Wufeng Chaoyang Hairpin couldn't afford it, so please take it back." She said that since she rewarded it, she must be able to afford it, and then she directly gave her grandmother a seat, as if chatting, and praised the grandson of Marquis Wei. is the eldest son of Wei Sanye, you should have all seen it. ”
"Heh......" Xie Shurou laughed directly: "I've seen it!" Of course I did! The third son of Marquis Wei is not the younger brother of the queen's mother's mother! When did Princess Ningfu miss their family? How dare she open her mouth! ”
"Third Master Wei's eldest son?" Gu Yilan was also furious: "That wretch can also be worthy of my little sister?" She had a good abacus. ”
"It's fine." Mu Hongshang hurriedly waved her hand: "Grandmother is here, are you still afraid that I will suffer?" When the eldest brother married a wife, she was not so actively tossing around, in the end, it was not in vain, or the eldest brother hired whoever our family liked. I'm not afraid, she won't force me to marry, and my grandmother will never agree to her doing so. As soon as I was in front of her, my grandmother said that she had to decide my family affairs by herself, and no one could break the rules set by my grandfather. We don't have to be angry with her."
"Hmm." Gu Yilan helped Mu Hongshang tidy up the purse on her waist, and replied with a fire: "I know, we don't worry about her." ”
"Then what did Feng Hai say in the end?" Xie Shurou asked.
"Accepted." Mu Hongsheng replied confidently: "I kowtowed to her to thank her, why don't you accept it?" Grandmother said, wear it generously, since the queen has rewarded it, don't be a baby at home, it's very good-looking, just right to wear it and go out. ”
Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.
The lady of the Mu family, said that she would not be angry with the queen, but in fact she lost her temper and was tougher than anyone else. The princesses will not wear the five phoenix Chaoyang hairpin to go out on weekdays, this hairpin is a symbol of the princess's identity, that is, every celebration or palace banquet, the princesses will insert the five phoenix Chaoyang hairpin, used to highlight the identity of the daughter of the heavenly family.
Mrs. Mu has a tough personality, which is also unique from the queen's anger. The princesses are willing to wear hairpins on big festivals, and she prefers her granddaughter to wear them everywhere, which is obviously secretly showing face to Queen Wei.
However, the hairpin that Queen Wei rewarded herself, she can't pick this reason, could it be that she can really say that the hairpin was awarded to the Anguo Mansion, so that the Mu family could be grateful to her?
"Alright, with my grandmother here, you really don't have to worry about me." Gu Yilan smiled and shook her head.
"That's," Mu Hongshang nodded with a smile: "I'm right, right?" Grandmother is our family's Dinghai Shen Needle. You don't have to worry about it. Sister Xie, I've always wanted to talk to you before, how did Lord Xie answer? ”
"Nope." Xie Shurou shook her head directly: "I can't rely on me." You'll have to find another way. ”
"That can't be based on what you had in mind." Mu Hongshang immediately replied: "You are not allowed to go to King Yi to make a request." ”
This time, before Xie Shurou could answer, Gu Yilan patted Mu Hongsheng's hand first: "Don't worry, she won't go." We think of other ways. ”
"Don't worry, I won't act rashly." Xie Shurou, who already has a new goal, of course will not be as impulsive as before: "I think I can ask Uncle Jiang to talk to my father again." Although my father did not directly agree to help, his attitude was not tough, and even he admitted that Uncle Jiang's words to persuade him were reasonable. ”
"I see." Mu Hongshang nodded: "When I go home, I will tell my grandmother to go to Jiang's Mansion again." ”
The girls are trapped in the back house, and their abilities are really limited. All Xie Shurou can do is to do her best to provide information. The only one with a slightly stronger ability to act was Mu Hongsheng, so on the second day after returning from the palace, after Mu Hongshang reported back to her grandmother, she went to Jiang's house with Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi.
This time, Lord Jiang didn't say anything directly, he stood up directly and put a large bag of paperwork in his arms, followed the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family and left, and went directly to the Mu family.
After Jiang Wenbin arrived at Mu's house, he saw Mrs. Mu, so he went directly to the outer study, and kept him in the study with Mr. Chen and Mr. Sun, not knowing what to discuss.
It was not until the middle of the moon that Jiang Wenbin left, and then, two days later, news came from the DPRK and China, and Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of War took the lead in the song, requesting that grain be transferred from the treasury to the north to make up for the military grain and grass in the north, and also asked the household department to allocate 1 million treasury silver and urgently purchase 10,000 war horses.
At the same time, Sun Shangshu handed over the list of inventory of the military department, sorted out two hundred carts of ordnance stock, which could be immediately transferred to the north, the emperor was very happy to see it, and immediately ordered the rest of the household department to be suspended, first hurry up to transfer grain, and within ten days, together with the two hundred carts of ordnance of the military department, escort to the north.
