In fact, Gu Yilan's confession letter was also sent in vain, and it was useless, because on the same day that this letter was sent, the Anguo Mansion had already received a post from Mrs. Gu, inviting the daughters of the Mu family to enjoy the lanterns together on the fifteenth day of the first month.

This is a clear answer, and Mrs. Mu understands it at a glance.

When the post was sent, Mu Chengxin had not yet dispersed the court, because he went to the court every day after returning to Beijing, so Mu Zhengyi did not go to the palace every day as before, but stayed at home and had nothing to do, sometimes accompanying his younger siblings to study and practice martial arts, and sometimes going to the front yard to discuss with a few staff gentlemen.

Just before lunch, Mu Qingyi and the others had nothing to do after school, and they were all crowded in his grandmother's house, and Mu Zhengyi was taking his younger brothers and sisters to share the fruit.

"We're going to get busy at home." Mrs. Mu threw the post on the low table and laughed.

Mu Zhengyi was actually very concerned about what was written in the post sent by Mrs. Gu, but he was too embarrassed to ask. When Mrs. Mu read the post, he pretended to be calm and continued to distribute the fruits to his younger siblings, but that absent-minded appearance couldn't even hide Mu Lingyi, who had the straightest eyes.

"Big brother," Mu Lingyi seized the opportunity to mock Mu Zhengyi unceremoniously: "Don't pretend, holding the fruit in your hand and glancing at your grandmother." You've already grabbed two handfuls of pine nuts for Jinyi, give him more, and Hongyi will find you to fight. Look at your uncertain look, if you want to ask, just ask? Or are you embarrassed to be thin-skinned? ”

"Bastard!" Mu Zhengyi blushed, and by the way, a walnut smashed directly into Mu Lingyi's head: "Are you looking for a fight?" ”

"Big brother is ashamed," Mu Jinyi also laughed: "Sister, look, big brother's face has caught up with the Spring Festival couplets posted at the door, if you throw him into the well, can you roll the well water away?" ”

"Grandmother," Mu Hongshang didn't pay attention to Mu Jinyi, but jumped up directly to hug Old Man Mu's arm: "What is written in the Gu family's post, follow us, you sell Guan Zi again, the eldest brother is going to be in a hurry to go to the house." ”

"One by one, it's the other way around." Mu Zhengyi's ears were red at this time, and he reached out to grab Mu Hongsheng, but was held down by Mu Qingyi and his two younger brothers.

"Big brother, what's the hurry?" Mu Qingyi said with a smile: "No matter how anxious you are, your new sister-in-law won't be able to enter the door tomorrow, is it possible that you still have to go to the Gu family to rob people?" ”

As soon as Mu Qingyi's words came out, the whole house burst into laughter, and Mrs. Mu laughed so much that tears came out, and she waved her hands while laughing: "Forget it, I won't hang my clothes anymore." Don't worry, this post is Mrs. Gu's invitation to our female relatives to enjoy the lanterns together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This is a promise, your daughter-in-law can't run. Cuiliu, go find someone to spread the word, invite several ladies to come, Zhengyi is going to marry, and there are many things to discuss. ”

"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go," Mu Hongsheng jumped up very actively: "I'll go find my mother." ”

"Then I'll go too," Mu Jinyi quickly clapped his hands and stood up: "I'll go find my mother." ”

"Then I'll go to my mother's side," Mu Qingyi also stood up with a smile: "Ling Yi will go together, and the third uncle and aunt will invite you." ”

Mu Lingyi agreed and stood up, Cuiliu couldn't laugh when she saw this: "This is good, the slave maid originally thought that such a big happy event, the old lady called the slave maid to inform the ladies, and when the ladies are happy, they will definitely be able to reward the slave and maid with something." It's a pity that such a good errand was robbed by the young master. ”

"Recruit clothes and marry a wife, and the whole family will give a reward," Mrs. Mu replied with a smile: "Are you still afraid that you won't get the reward?" ”

The Gu family responded to the Mu family's family affairs, and the entire Anguo Mansion was full of joy, and the ladies soon gathered in Mu Laofu's house and began to discuss trivial matters about the engagement and welcoming relatives.

Mu Zhengyi can only stay in the capital for more than two years, and he has been delayed for a lot of time before, so Mu Laofu has an opinion, the sooner the better, but this matter cannot be decided by the Mu family themselves, and in the end it has to be discussed with the in-laws.

"Don't get in the way," Mrs. Mu finally said: "The situation of our family, the Gu family should also know in their hearts, Zhengyi is a border general, and they can't stay in Jingzheng all the time."

"That's the case," Second Mrs. Mu still looked a little worried: "Our family is good, the dowry and the like have been prepared for a long time, everything is available, but the Gu family is there, I don't know if I have time to prepare the dowry." ”

"If the dowry is not a dowry, it doesn't matter if our family is not," Mrs. Mu replied: "It's just that after all, it is the face of the granddaughter-in-law, marrying into our Anguo Mansion, her dowry is not at least a few richer than the sisters who married the Gu family before, my granddaughter-in-law must not be worse than others, and she must make enough face among the sisters of the Gu family." ”

"Mother," Second Mrs. Mu looked at the old lady Mu with a straight face, crying and laughing: "The dowry is not prepared by our family, where is it." ”

"The precedent of the mother-in-law's family adding makeup is not without cherry blossoms," Mrs. Mu replied with a nonchalant expression, looking unreasonable.

"Grandmother," Mu Zhengyi finally couldn't help but speak: "You will provoke other people's Gu family to worry about it, after all, it is her mother's family, and you can't ...... it."

"Look," Mrs. Mu pointed at Mu Zhengyi and laughed: "I have known to protect my daughter-in-law so early." Zhengyi, you can be regarded as talking, I thought you were going to make a saw-mouth gourd. ”

When Mrs. Mu spoke, everyone laughed, only Mu Hongsheng tilted her head and thought about it carefully, and said with a serious face: "I think grandmother is right, our Mu family's daughter-in-law has to have more face than others, and the dowry must be envied by everyone." ”

"That's the case," Duchess An Guo smiled and pinched her daughter's face: "But our family is a mother-in-law after all, and meddling in Sister Gu's dowry will make the Gu family misunderstand whether we are dissatisfied with the dowry." This is not in accordance with the rules, and the in-laws will not be careful. ”

"Grandmother is a member of the mother-in-law's family, but I'm not," Mu Hongshang replied with a wink: "Sister Gu is my friend, she wants to get married, can't I give some gifts?" ”

"You are now a sister-in-law," Mrs. Mu replied with a smile, "In the future, you and your sister-in-law will be a family." ”

"Then ......" Mu Hongshang asked again: "I'll ask Sister Xie to help me deliver it, it's always okay, right?" ”

"There is a rule in Jingzhong that sisters help add makeup," Mrs. Mu San replied with a smile: "But after all, it is a private matter of the girl's family, and it is not appropriate for this gift to be too heavy." ”

"How can you worry about these trivial things," Mrs. Mu couldn't laugh anymore: "You can rest assured, don't worry about the clothes, my granddaughter-in-law's face must be done enough." I've thought about it, and there must be a good reason to add makeup. Zhengyi is our grandson, and when he gets married, the emperor will definitely reward him. The queen mother personally helped add makeup, and the Gu family didn't have anything to do. ”
