Chapter 362: Trust
The topic of the young couple about adding makeup and jewelry successfully aroused Mu Zhengyi's melancholy. He was depressed for a short time holding the collar box next to him, but he just made room for Fang Xin to work.
Because there was no Mu Zhengyi to get in the way, this time Fang Xin combed Gu Yilan's bun very neatly, and inserted the hairpin and step shake that Mu Zhengyi had chosen before.
Gu Yilan looked at herself carefully in the bronze mirror, and after making sure that there was no rudeness in dressing, she stood up: "Okay, Fang Zhi Fangxin, take the gift, let's leave quickly." ”
Mu Zhengyi put down the wooden box in his hand at this time, reached out and took Gu Yilan's hand, the little couple walked out of the door side by side, while Fang Zhi and Fang Xin hurriedly went to get the gifts prepared in advance, they each carried three layers of trays, and hurriedly followed behind Gu Yilan and Mu Zhengyi, and walked out through the courtyard.
"How are there so many things?" Mu Zhengyi was startled when he saw Fang Zhi and Fang Xin holding the tray: "What are they?" ”
"It's a meeting gift for the old lady, the lady, and the young master," Fang Zhi replied quickly, "It's all made by the young lady herself, and I didn't ask the embroidery lady to help." In order to satisfy the old lady and the lady, the young lady specially asked our eldest lady about the preferences of the old lady and the lady. ”
"You did it all?" Mu Zhengyi was a little stunned: "We got married not long after we got engaged, you are at home these days, is it possible that you are busy catching up with needlework every day?" Why are you so difficult for yourself, Hongshang didn't persuade you. ”
"How can this be called difficult for yourself." Gu Yilan couldn't help but shake her head: "According to the rules, when the new daughter-in-law enters the door, she wants to give her husband's family and relatives a needle and thread made by herself, and everyone is like this, I just act according to the rules." ”
"We don't have such rules at home," Mu Zhengyi pulled Gu Yilan's hand a little distressed: "Why are you so tired of yourself." It's just to give gifts, just let the embroidery girl help make some, you have to do it yourself. ”
"Although this is a rule, it is also my heart," Gu Yilan replied: "It's just a needle and thread, and I can't get tired." ”
"Hearing you say this, I suddenly felt that I was worried about white hair just now," Mu Zhengyi suddenly laughed: "Our little sister is at that level, she can't sew a straight thread, if she is allowed to do needlework for her mother-in-law's parents by herself, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it until she is eighty years old, and who else will she marry!" ”
"You are ......" Gu Yilan looked like she couldn't help but laugh: "I am also good at needlework, you want to compare it to my little sister." If you don't know how to needle, why can't you get married? Miss Xie Si's needlework is not very good, who dislikes it, King Yi can't wait to marry her and go home. ”
"Miss Xie Si, I've seen it twice, looking at Wenwen quietly, she always sends snacks and some clever gadgets to Hongshang, she is quite a smart person, but I didn't expect that she was not good at needlework." Mu Zhengyi shook his head and smiled: "A real person can't be disguised. ”
"She's very smart," Gu Yilan replied, "There are always some unexpected ideas." ”
"Red Dress, just you and her two friends." Mu Zhengyi stretched out his hand to hug Gu Yilan, and the two walked side by side in the direction of Old Madam Mu's courtyard: "I'll marry you home, Hongshang is almost crazy." You and Hongshang will be a family in the future, I'm afraid there will be fewer days to see Miss Xie Si, what you know in our family, ...... in the future"
Mu Zhengyi didn't finish his sentence, but Gu Yilan already knew what he was not done. Marrying into the Anguo Mansion, she will live in a simple house like other daughters-in-law of the Mu family in the future, and most of the invitations in Beijing such as flower viewing banquets and spring banquets will not have anything to do with her in the future.
Regarding these, Gu Yilan has long been mentally prepared, and she will never see Xie Shurou again in the future, she actually has no regrets at all, not only does she not regret it, but she is even a little happy.
"Miss Xie Si went to see you in the new house yesterday," Mu Zhengyi didn't wait for Gu Yilan to answer, and continued: "Actually, it's ......."
"Husband," Speaking of Xie Shurou's visit yesterday, Gu Yilan suddenly thought of something important that she hadn't confirmed with Mu Zhengyi: "The former Chunzhou Mansion Yin He Wenmao, has he been transferred to the Hanlin Academy?" ”
"How do you know?" Mu Zhengyi was stunned, never expecting that his newlywed wife would mention a completely irrelevant person at this time.
"Yesterday, my little sister told me that there are two Miss He in Qushui Pavilion, and they are very attentive to her," Gu Yilan replied: "These two Miss He sisters don't know each other, and Miss Xie Si and I are not impressed, so I asked the maid in the aunt's room for a name post, only to find out that they are He Wenmao's two daughters." ”
"I see." Mu Zhengyi nodded: "It's no wonder that his two daughters flattered his little sister, this He Wenmao you know, is Lin Xiang's student, Lin Xiang transferred him back to Beijing at this time, and what he was staring at was the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War." ”
"I know." Gu Yilan nodded: "Little sister also said yesterday, Mrs. Wen and Wen Meiqing were also very enthusiastic about her yesterday. ”
"Right now, the book of the military department is empty, and all forces are staring at it," Mu Zhengyi replied: "Lin Xiang, Li Xiang, Xie Xiang, and ......"
Mu Zhengyi stopped before he finished speaking. Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Yilan smiled instead: "And my grandfather." You are my husband, if there is anything you can't say directly, I am already a member of the Mu family now. ”
"But Lan'er, that's your grandfather after all," Mu Zhengyi was silent for a moment before replying: "I think it's better for us not to talk about these things, they were originally some court affairs, and it has nothing to do with you, you are the daughter of the Gu family, and you are also the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, caught in the middle, if you know too clearly and in detail, you will inevitably be embarrassed." ”
Gu Yilan was silent for two seconds, and did not continue to talk about this topic, but took the initiative to mention another matter: "Husband, my little sister told me yesterday that Lin Xiang was blackmailing the military money in the north and wanted to get the uncle to support him in the selection of the military department. ”
"Yes, yes, how did you think to ask this." Mu Zhengyi glanced at his wife, and finally nodded affirmatively, and did not avoid answering, nor did he perfunctory his wife at will.
Gu Yilan bowed her head and said nothing, silently walked forward side by side with Mu Zhengyi, the two of them were almost at the gate of Old Madam Mu's courtyard, Gu Yilan raised her head and asked in a cautious tone: "Husband, can you trust me?" ”
Although Mu Zhengyi was a little inexplicable, he still nodded solemnly: "Naturally, you are my wife, we are a family, how can I not trust you." ”
"Okay." Gu Yilan nodded: "If the husband believes me, listen to me." If there is no accident, Lin Xiang should not survive this summer, and he will beg for bones. His health is already very bad, even if the head of the Tai Hospital Xu personally recuperates for him, he will not be able to last for a long time. ”
