Chapter 43: Planning
"No, you don't." Xie Xiang smiled: "An Guogong is a person with a good psychology, and there are some things that don't need to be explained. It's your friend...... This time, as a messenger, he took the initiative to help Mu Jingluo speak, and he also planned for the affairs of the northern border. An Guogong should have a good impression of him. You said before that you and he were best friends? ”
"Yes!" Xie Changjing replied with a smile: "He was born in the Jiang family in Tanzhou, the seventh in the second class that year, and he had an uncle who was a Zhizhou in Mizhou, and he was also young, a few years younger than me, and he was an outstanding figure among the students on the same list. ”
"From this incident in the north, it can be seen that this person has a big hill in his chest," Xie Xiang raised his head and glanced at his son with a smile: "It is a waste to be a small master of such a minister." ”
"yes!" Xie Changjing showed a clear smile: "It would be nice if the waiter was lacking." ”
"Hmm!" Xie Xiang nodded: "If someone recommends Director Jiang to be the squire of the military department, An Guogong should be happy to see it." ”
"Speaking of An Guogong," Mrs. Xie glanced at her father-in-law and son: "Haven't you had any news from the palace yet?" In a few days, it will be September 23, the birthday of Prince Li, and the saint will send someone to announce his birthday. Is it our fifth prince or the sixth prince? ”
"It's okay," Xie Xiang shook his head: "I have already handed over the words to the palace." It doesn't matter if you really send the six princes, let our five princes find an excuse to beg the emperor and go with the six princes, and the emperor should not refuse. The emperor wants to save face for Prince Li now, and he wishes that the battle would be bigger. ”
"That's fine." Mrs. Xie nodded: "Then in our house, I think don't go too many people, save it too conspicuously." ”
"Let's go with the eldest family," Xie Xiang nodded: "Let's be two old, the eldest is two, and the child will take Mu Feng." As for Rou'er......"
"Rou'er is going!" Before Xie Xiang finished speaking, Mrs. Xie pursed her lips and laughed first: "Prince Li's birthday banquet guests, Duchess Anguo should take Miss Mu to pay homage." ”
"Hmm! That's good! Xie Xiang nodded: "In this way, Rou'er is more suitable than others." It's just that Chang Jing told her a few more words, it's okay to hand over some small gifts in private, and it is better to be cautious when going to the banquet in front of people, don't be too enthusiastic. ”
"Do you need to avoid this right now?" Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows slightly: "If An Guogong and his family attend, is it possible that Mu Feng and the sons of the Mu family will not be allowed to play together?" ”
Xie Xiang thought for a while before replying: "If Duke An Guo and his wife want to bring their son to attend, it can only be Mu Tieyi, the second son of the Mu family. But Mu Tieyi will be eighteen years old in the next year, and he will soon go to the northern border, whether he will go to pay homage to his birthday is a matter of two questions. It doesn't matter if you really go, let Mu Feng be smart, it doesn't matter what is on the side, just don't let the six princes find a chance to talk to the Mu family alone. ”
"Father rest assured, son knows." Xie Changjing nodded: "Son, I'll go back and tell Mu Feng and Rou'er." ”
Xie Xiang nodded, and after Xie Changjing saluted his parents, he turned around and hurried out, heading straight to Grandma Xie's yard. After seeing her son leave, Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "Don't look at the old man who reprimanded Rou'er a few days ago, in fact, I still hurt her in my heart." ”
"Rou'er, that kid is sometimes a little not very sensible," Xie Xiang laughed meaninglessly: "Do things without caring about the front." A few days ago, I didn't know what to think, but I was actually pouted to be good with Anguo bus. Is this her business? It's too unscrupulous! But thinking about it the other way, although Rou'er was confused and didn't say anything decent, she was really thinking about her family. The girls in the back house don't have much knowledge, but they plan for the family with all their hearts, and in this alone, she is much better than Yi'er and them. ”
"Isn't that still young! It's good to teach if you don't know anything," Mrs. Xie immediately began to excuse her granddaughter: "Rou'er is a smart child, and she hasn't grown up all the time. Now that I'm already sensible, I don't want to talk about it, just talking about the gifts she sent to Miss Mu, it took a lot of thought at first glance. That is, we Rou'er, how can others get such a good thing to give away. ”
Xie Shurou didn't know that the gifts she had carefully thought out about had already improved her impression in the eyes of her grandparents and grandmothers. But even if she knew, Xie Shurou didn't really care. Xie Cheng's opinion of her, how can Mu Hongsheng's opinion of her be important! The big-eyed little girl of the Mu family is the golden thigh of the future!
Xie Shurou was in a surprise right now, because her cheap father informed her that he would take her to Prince Li's mansion to pay homage to her birthday, and I heard that An Guogong and his wife might take the eldest lady of the Mu family to go. Xie Shurou and her father carefully instructed her not to be too enthusiastic about Mu Hongsheng in front of people.
Ah! I finally had the opportunity to meet Miss Mu, of course I have to behave well! As for what the cheap dad said, he can't be too enthusiastic...... Let's talk about it, and analyze the specific situation on a case-by-case basis. She wanted to be more enthusiastic, and only hoped that the big-eyed little girl of the Mu family would give her a chance.
What kind of topics do little girls like? What should she say then? Why don't you get some new gifts in advance to talk to Miss Mu? I don't know if she likes the fluffy bear and snowy mooncakes she gave last time......
Xie Shurou looked like she was listening carefully to Xie Changjing's teachings, but her actual thoughts had already run away......
At the same time, Gu Yilan, who was instructed by Mrs. Gu, was also thinking about similar things. When you go to Prince Li's mansion to pay respects, you should see Miss Mu, after all, Prince Li is the ancestor of Miss Mu.
Thinking of Mu Hongsheng, Gu Yilan smiled slightly. She suddenly remembered that on the side of the road in the princess's mansion, Mu Hongshang arranged flowers on her mother's head. The eldest lady of the Mu family seems to be a pure-minded person, with a pair of big eyes and shiny eyes, she is really lively and cute, which makes people like it at first glance.
Why don't you bring some gifts with you...... But she followed her grandfather and grandmother to pay homage to her birthday, and if she deliberately brought a gift for Miss Mu, it didn't seem good for people to see it.
Therefore, it is best to make this gift smaller, such as a handkerchief purse, and it is best to look like an object that looks like a random addition. If it doesn't attract attention, it has to be ingenious, so that Miss Mu likes it at a glance, this gift is not easy to prepare......
