Chapter 286: Expectation
Mu Chengxin asked for the order to be sent to the military department that night. Mu Zhengyi didn't delay at all after returning home, and directly took his third uncle's performance to the duty room of the military department and handed it over to the scribe on duty.
The emperor was also very happy, and on the afternoon of the second day, there was Zhu Pi, and Song Shu sent it back to the north by urgent mail, and it didn't take long for General Mu San to really return to Beijing.
The whole family is waiting for Mu Chengxin to return to Beijing, especially Mu Jinyi, who is simply looking forward to the posture of autumn water, from the first day of the urgent delivery back to the north, he has to go to the intersection every time he goes around, looking forward to the next moment, his father can appear on the street corner.
Mu Chengxin is going back to Beijing, and Mrs. Mu is even busier, preparing for the New Year's goods to the north, preparing to welcome Mu Chengxin back to Beijing, and more importantly, preparing for Mu Zhengyi's marriage.
That's right, the letter brought back by An Guogong showed the clear attitude of the Mu generals towards Mu Zhengyi's marriage, and they were not opposed to marrying the Gu family.
After receiving the letter, Mrs. Mu called Mu Zhengyi over, and talked with her grandson for a long time behind closed doors, but I don't know what happened to the grandchildren.
The eldest brother is such a big person, and he shed tears in front of his grandmother, which was grabbed by Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi, who were unknown, and they laughed fiercely around Mu Zhengyi. However, it is very strange that this time the eldest brother did not beat people, but was very good-natured and let the younger brothers laugh at him.
For a few days in a row, the house was lively, Mu Zhengyi was very busy when he had to enter the palace every day, and Mu Hongshang finally saw the opportunity to catch the lonely eldest brother. She smiled and approached Mu Zhengyi and asked, "Big brother, are you happy this time?" ”
Mu Zhengyi looked at Mu Hongsheng, was silent and didn't say anything, and finally just stretched out his hand and rubbed Mu Hongsheng's brain.
"Big brother," Mu Hongsheng pretended not to see Mu Zhengyi's slightly complicated expression, and said with a smile: "The whole family agrees to marry Sister Gu and enter the door to be my sister-in-law, isn't it a good thing!" Grandmother, when the third uncle comes back, let the third uncle personally go to the Gu University Scholar's Mansion to propose marriage, and you will wait at home to marry your daughter-in-law! ”
"Red ......" Mu Zhengyi lowered his head and took his sister two steps forward before he said in a low voice: "In the end, I was willful." ”
"Where is this brother's willfulness." Mu Hongshang replied with a smile: "Grandmother, my brother is too sensible!" Not good at all. I've been taught bad by you. ”
"You girl," Mu Zhengyi couldn't help laughing, he flexed his fingers and gently flicked his sister's forehead: "Ghost elf." ”
"Big brother," Mu Hongsheng showed a heartless smile at his eldest brother: "It's a great thing!" Sister Gu likes you, you also like Sister Gu, grandmother, this is called mutual love. Two people who are happy with each other should be together. ”
Mu Zhengyi looked at his sister, and somehow suddenly wanted to laugh. The words of mutual affection from the mouth of a thirteen-year-old girl made him find it really funny. He shook his head with a smile, pulled his sister's brain, and sighed, "Alas...... Big brother always takes you for nothing. ”
"You will have nothing to do with me in the future," Mu Hongsheng replied with a smile: "If you bully me again, I will go to Sister Gu to complain, she must be towards me." ”
"When have I ever bullied you," Mu Zhengyi looked at the girl who beat me with a worried face: "You have always bullied me." ”
"Then I don't care," Mu Hongsheng showed a smug expression towards her eldest brother: "In short, I will be proud in the future, Sister Gu is my sister-in-law, and she has always protected me." As long as you make me unhappy, I'll go to her and complain. ”
"Good!" Mu Zhengyi smiled happily at his sister first. However, smiling and smiling, he suddenly lowered his head and asked with some uncertainty, "Hongsheng, are you...... Does she really want to? ”
"Why does the eldest brother still ask like that?" Mu Hongsheng deliberately put on a straightforward posture: "Sister Gu likes you so much, it's strange if you don't want to." Don't be worried, I wrote to Ningling a few days ago, and I have talked to her about everything at home. Big brother, don't worry, Sister Gu knows in her heart, if she didn't want to, she would have written a letter and refused directly. Right now, we are waiting for the third uncle to return to Beijing, and when he returns to Beijing, I will urge him to go to Sister Gu's grandfather to propose marriage as soon as possible. ”
"Hmm!" Mu Zhengyi smiled, he turned around and stood side by side with his sister in the courtyard, looking at the sunset on the side, the smile on his face was warm and hopeful.
………………
On the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, there are still two days to celebrate the New Year, but Mu Chengxin has not yet arrived in the capital. Mrs. Mu was looking forward to her son returning to Beijing for the New Year, and she began to be uncalm in the past few days, and sent Ran Lukou to wait every day.
She is no longer bound to run out of brocade clothes, in fact, not only brocade clothes these days, even Mu Hongshang has begun to frequently run to the gate to look, hoping that the third uncle can come to the capital before the Chinese New Year.
It's almost the Chinese New Year, and Mr. Sun has released the children from school early. After school on this day, Mu Jinyi ran to the gate of the Guogong Mansion as usual, looking at the direction of the street corner. Mu Qingyi, Mu Lingyi, and Mu Hongsheng saw their persistent brother, and they didn't do much, but accompanied him out to wait.
The days are short and long in winter, and soon it is dusk, and the sun has set on the horizon, and there is still a warm yellow light left on the side, struggling to disperse, and the color has begun to darken. When Mu Zhengyi came back from the palace, he just turned the street corner and saw a row of figures on the side of the road, Mu Qingyi and Mu Lingyi were two older heads, and behind them were Mu Hongshang and Mu Jinyi, who were holding hands, and the children looked at the corner of the street together.
"It's so cold, how did it come out." Mu Zhengyi got off the horse, walked to his younger siblings, and reached out to touch his sister's cold face: "Don't work so hard, every day our family will send someone to wait at the city gate, if there is a general Mu entering the city, the family will soon receive the news." Don't worry, the emperor's Zhu wholesale will return to the north, and the third uncle will have to pack up before he can set off, it won't be so fast. ”
Mu Jinyi didn't say anything, he still stared blankly in the direction of the street corner, but a little disappointment gradually surfaced in his eyes. Mu Hongshang turned her head to look at her younger brother's face, and pulled Mu Zhengyi's sleeve with a smile: "Big brother, it's okay anyway, let's wait a while, if there is dinner in my grandmother's yard, Sister Lotus Ye will come out to call us." ”
Mu Zhengyi looked at the persistent Mu Jinyi, and finally nodded, stood beside the Lin sisters with his hands behind his back, and looked at the street corner with them.
