"The eldest son." When Gu Yilan came down from the official post building, she happened to meet Mu Zhengyi, who hurriedly came in from outside.

"Ninth sister," Mu Zhengyi smiled at Gu Yilan: "It's late, sister still has to go out?" ”

"Just thinking about walking around the yard." Gu Yilan shook her head: "The eldest prince has just come back from the county government?" ”

"Yes." Mu Zhengyi nodded: "I will go to Tongshan tomorrow to suppress bandits, so I will naturally be busier today." ”

"Haven't you had dinner yet?" Gu Yilan asked: "It just so happens that my maid borrowed the kitchen of the post house today and stewed soup, if the eldest prince doesn't dislike it, he will first use a bowl of soup to cushion his stomach." ”

Mu Zhengyi was indeed hungry, so after listening to Gu Yilan's suggestion, he was not hypocritical, nodded and replied, "This will trouble the ninth sister." ”

"No trouble." Gu Yilan shook her head: "The eldest prince and I have a life-saving grace, and what I can do for my son is just this soup and a meal, get up, this is what I owe to my son." ”

"Ninth sister, don't be like this," Mu Zhengyi laughed: "I'm early, I should save you, even if it's for the sake of my family's red clothes, I can't sit idly by, Ninth Sister doesn't owe me anything." If you continue to worry about it like this, and you continue to pay back every soup and meal, won't you be able to pay it off for the rest of your life? ”

got up because of Mu Hongsheng's relationship. Mu Zhengyi and Gu Yilan have been getting along for the past two days, and the two have become quite familiar with each other, and they are already relaxed when chatting with each other, and they are not so particular, so Mu Zhengyi followed Gu Yilan's words and made a joke casually, and the original intention was just to ask Gu Yilan not to always think about the so-called "life-saving grace".

As soon as the words came out, Mu Zhengyi immediately realized that this joke seemed to be a little inappropriate. He immediately stopped, smiled at Gu Yilan, and apologized very happily: "I'm sorry, it's my words that are speechless, I hope the ninth sister doesn't care." ”

Gu Yilan's face flushed, she shook her head at Mu Zhengyi, pulled the corners of her mouth, and showed a shy smile, the two were relatively silent, and for a while, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

In the end, it was Gu Yilan who broke the silence first, she turned her head to the side, looked at Fang Zhi who was beside her, and urged: "What are you still doing in a daze, go and serve soup to the eldest prince." ”

"The slave knows." Fang Zhi's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she turned around to leave.

"Wait," Gu Yilan stopped Fang Zhi again, and instructed more: "Tell Mama Chen to go to the kitchen too, and hurry up and cook for the eldest son again." ”

"It's late, Ninth Sister doesn't have to bother," Mu Zhengyi immediately said: "There should be leftover food in the post house, find a servant to come and ask, no matter what it is, ask them to bring some food over casually, I can just eat a bite, I'm not a picky eater." ”

"How can this be," Gu Yilan shook her head stubbornly: "If Hongshang knows, I let her brother eat leftovers, won't she blame me?" I asked Mama to do it again, it won't take long, the eldest son will use a bowl of soup first, just wait. ”

"Hongshang won't blame you," Mu Zhengyi shook his head and smiled: "Our Mu family's children are all border generals, where is there so much attention to when marching and fighting in the north, when the army is outside, whether it is a general or a soldier, everyone is the same, most of the time, they carry dry food on their backs, a mouthful of water and wheat cakes is a meal, and it is good to be full." ”

"When the army is marching and fighting, there are not many conditions to pay attention to, so it is good to do anything," Gu Yilan replied: "But now at the post station, you can obviously eat freshly cooked food, and you have to make do with what you do." Even if Hongshang is here now, she will not agree with the eldest prince to treat herself so harshly. ”

Seeing Gu Yilan's insistent attitude, Mu Zhengyi didn't have much to do, he took the initiative to find a table in the lobby of the post house and sat down, looking like he was waiting for food.

Gu Yilan also walked over and sat opposite Mu Zhengyi, as if she wanted to accompany Mu Zhengyi to wait for food and soup. Fang Xin hurriedly went back to the room to get Gu Yilan's own tea, handed it to the guy on night duty in the lobby, and asked him to make tea.

The servants were very nimble, and the tea was quickly served, and at this time Fang Zhi also came out of the kitchen with a tray of soup, and two plates, and two kinds of snacks on the plates.

"Eldest prince, please use some soup first," Fang Zhi put the things in the tray in front of Mu Zhengyi one by one: "You can also use some snacks to cushion your hunger first, and the meal will be ready soon." ”

"There's Miss Lao." Mu Zhengyi nodded politely to Fang Zhi, then picked up the chopsticks and soup spoon, and smiled at Gu Yilan: "After a busy day, I'm really hungry." ”

"Will you set off tomorrow to suppress the bandits?" Gu Yilan asked with great concern.

"Yes," Mu Zhengyi nodded: "It's better sooner rather than later, lest those mountains on the mountain have been prepared for the news." This afternoon, the secret guards who went up the mountain to find the news have all returned, and I plan to set off with my troops early tomorrow morning. ”

"I hope the eldest prince will have all the best tomorrow." Gu Yilan said very sincerely.

"Don't worry, the Chunzhou Assassin has brought a lot of officers and soldiers, which is enough," Mu Zhengyi raised his head and smiled: "The situation on the mountain has also been figured out early, and there will be no problem." ”

"With the eldest prince in command, naturally there will be no problem," Gu Yilan also smiled: "The eldest prince is the famous General Mu!" ”

Hearing Gu Yilan's praise, Mu Zhengyi didn't look embarrassed at all, but nodded with a serious face, and seemed to agree with Gu Yilan's words: "Ninth sister is right, I am the general of the Mu family, and I personally command, if I can't even exterminate the bandits, I will have no face to continue to teach my younger brothers and sisters when I go home." ”

"Godbrother and sister?" Gu Yilan was very surprised: "Marching to command these, do you also have to learn from Hongsheng?" ”

"Originally, there was no need to learn," mentioning his sister, Mu Zhengyi immediately showed a warm smile: "She is the only girl in our family, and she doesn't need to go to the north in the future, where do you need to learn the art of war." But after my brother Jinyi turned twelve years old, he began to read military books with his brothers, and Hongshang began to learn the art of war with him. Actually, she's all there to accompany Jinyi, I know. Just like she has been practicing martial arts diligently every day since she was five years old, most of them are also to accompany us. ”

"Hongshang is so considerate," Gu Yilan also showed a warm smile similar to Mu Zhengyi: "I always try my best to take care of others quietly." ”

"This girl, I don't know how to develop such a temperament," Mu Zhengyi shook her head and sighed: "She is the only girl in our Anguo Mansion, and the most precious pearl of our Mu family." I hope she doesn't be so sensible and lives a willful life. ”
