In fact, Mu Hongshang knew that Mu Zhengyi would definitely ask her about her injury clearly, so she grabbed her brother's sleeve as if she was cheating, shook it slightly, and showed a coquettish smile: "Big brother, aren't you tired when you just came home!" Take a break and have breakfast. ”

Mu Zhengyi looked at his sister's little face and was silent for a moment, and finally compromised, he nodded slightly, and responded: "Okay, I'll have breakfast first, and then I have to go to Gu Bachelor's Mansion, and I will talk about you and Miss Xie's affairs later." ”

Seeing that Mu Zhengyi didn't hold her on the spot, Mu Hongsheng was overjoyed, and immediately hurriedly walked out with the gifts and letters that Gu Yilan gave her, as if she was afraid that Mu Zhengyi would change her mind and stop her again.

"Big brother, you have breakfast first, I'll take a look at Sister Gu's letter first," Mu Hongshang said, one foot had already stepped out of the threshold.

Old Madam Mu was so anxious that she hurriedly called the maid to chase her: "Water chestnut, help the eldest lady to take things, those honey and wood dew are very heavy, she is not good yet, she can't take such a heavy thing." Alas! Is! Not a day has made me worry. ”

"Grandmother," Mu Zhengyi turned his head to look at his sister's back, and asked, "Is Hongshang's injury serious?" What did the doctor say? ”

"Both arms and shoulder blades are strained, and they have been swollen for several days!" Old Madam Mu sighed and replied, "I didn't ask her how she was injured, and if she asked, it was in vain, and she definitely refused to be honest." ”

The events of that day, the ones who knew the whole truth were Mu Hongsheng, Xie Shurou and Zheng Ying, the king of letters, and Mrs. Mu San could only be regarded as one of the parties, the kind who did not fully know the truth. However, Mrs. Mu San still took advantage of Mu Zhengyi's meal to carefully tell her eldest nephew everything she knew.

"I just happened to be bumped into by King Shin?" Mu Zhengyi was stunned: "That's really a coincidence." Miss Xie Si happened to be bumped into by King Xin when she had an accident, and Miss Gu Jiu happened to be bumped into by King Yi when she had an accident, there is such a coincidence in the world? ”

"Yes," Old Madam Mu frowned slightly: "It's indeed too much of a coincidence, which makes people a little uneasy." ”

"Fortunately, Hongshang is recuperating from her injuries these days, and she is quite honest, and she will be fine at home every day." Duchess An Guo took over the conversation and replied: "No matter what happens outside, it has nothing to do with our house, and if the red clothes don't go out, they will naturally not be implicated." ”

"You brothers and sisters are really a family," Second Lady Mu shook her head and sighed: "One by one, they know how to act bravely. ”

"Mother," Mu Zhengyi smiled helplessly at his mother: "What are you talking about." Could it be that I bumped into the mountain bandits robbing the road, and I could still see death without help? When I made a move, I really didn't know that she was Miss Gu Jiu. ”

"Your mother hasn't said anything yet, what are you in a hurry to argue?" Old Madam Mu stretched out her finger and pointed at her eldest grandson: "In this regard, it is really exactly the same as your sister!" One by one, they are not worry-free, and the big ones are not good and the small ones are bad. Tell me, how long have you been back in Kyoto, let you go on a blind date, I don't understand each other, I've been looking forward to it for half a year, and I haven't seen the shadow of my granddaughter-in-law. These days, you are not allowed to go out and run around, just go on an honest blind date. ”

Old Madam Mu's words made several Mrs. Mu and the three brothers Mu Qingyi couldn't help laughing, and Second Mrs. Mu didn't continue to nag her son.

Duchess An Guo nodded and said with a smile: "Mother is right, if we don't even go out for clothes, we can worry less, at least we don't have to help Zhengyi look at the portraits of a lot of girls." These days, my eyes are almost exhausted when I look at the portrait, and I will be good in the future, and I will throw them all to Zhengyi, so that he will slowly feel sad. ”

"Yes! That's a serious thing, too. Old Madam Mu also nodded: "Zhengyi, wait for you to have breakfast, don't be busy going to Gu Bachelor's Mansion first." Go to the study in the front yard and look for Mr. Sun. There are some things in the court these days, the emperor sent a messenger to the north, you let Mr. Sun tell you about it, and you can have a good idea. ”

"The emperor sent a messenger?" Mu Zhengyi was stunned: "I know, I'll go find Mr. Sun later." ”

On this day, because Mu Zhengyi returned, Mr. gave the children of the Mu family a half-day off and did not go to school in the morning. Mu Zhengyi went to the outer study after eating, and chatted with several gentlemen in the study for a long time, and did not go out until almost noon.

Mu Hongsheng stayed in her courtyard, read a few letters written by Gu Yilan, and read the letters brought by Xie Shurou early in the morning. She frowned at the few letters on the table and was silent for a long time, and she didn't know what she was thinking, until before lunch, she hurriedly picked up her pen, wrote a reply letter to Xie Shurou, and sent someone to Xie Xiang's mansion.

When the letter was delivered to Xie Xiang's house, Xie Shurou had just had lunch and was sitting in front of the window drawing patterns. Seeing that the winter solstice was approaching and it was cold, she asked Mrs. Xie for a red cloud brocade, planning to make a cartoon pattern inlaid hand cage for Mu Hongsheng.

"Miss," Yingyue lifted the curtain and came in from outside, her face was red from the cold: "Miss Mu sent someone to deliver a letter." ”

"Give it to me." Xie Shurou immediately stood up, stretched out her hand towards Yingyue, and took the thick letter in Yingyue's hand.

She opened the letter with a smile and couldn't wait to read it, and gradually the smile on Xie Shurou's face froze, and she widened her eyes slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she had seen, and read the letter several times from beginning to end.

"Full moon," Xie Shurou finally raised her head, folded the letter neatly, and then smiled at her maid: "It's cold, I'm a little sleepy after eating, I want to sleep for a while, you go play, you don't have to guard me." ”

"Okay," Yingyue immediately nodded obediently: "Miss, just sleep on the soft collapse for a while, I'll go get you the quilt, Yingxing and I are sitting outside the warm pavilion, just wake up and call us." ”

Xie Shurou nodded, and with the help of Yingyue, she lay down on the soft couch. Yingyue thought she was going to sleep, so she went out quietly, leaving her alone in the warm pavilion.

Xie Shurou, who was lying alone on the soft collapse, did not feel sleepy, she stared at the ceiling blankly, thinking about what Mu Hongsheng had just told her in the letter - Gu Yilan met a mountain bandit on the way to Ningling and almost lost her life.

This thing that happened in the original plot still happened...... Fortunately, Gu Yilan, the heroine, was quite lucky and didn't really have an accident.

On the surface, Gu Yilan's robbery overlaps quite well with the plot of the original book, but Xie Shurou didn't expect that the person who rescued Gu Yilan was actually Mu Hongsheng's eldest brother Mu Zhengyi.

actually implicated the Mu family again, is this really a coincidence? Could there really be such a coincidence?
