Chapter 269: Greetings
Mu Zhengyi remained silent, directly moved his position, stood on the side of the Lin family's son, and directly covered Mu Hongsheng firmly behind him, he smiled and exchanged a few words with the Lin brothers and sisters, staring at Zheng Chongjing with the corner of his eye.
Of course, Zheng Chongjing didn't come in front of the family members of the Anguo Mansion as soon as he came in, he followed a few clan disciples, and first went to invite the chairman to a few princes, princesses, and the dynasty Yipin, and when everyone scattered to socialize with others, he turned around as soon as possible and walked in the direction of Mu Hongsheng.
And Mu Zhengyi, who had been staring at him, picked up his sister at this time and ran directly to Prince Li's wife. When Prince Li saw her granddaughter coming, Gao Xin dragged Mu Hongshang and chatted for a long time, while Mu Zhengyi was smiling and accompanying her sister, seemingly listening carefully to her sister and Princess Li, but in fact observing Zheng Chongjing without a trace.
Because of Mu Zhengyi's presence, Zheng Chongjing failed to get close to Mu Hongsheng several times, and when he finally found an excuse to get to Prince Li's husband and wife, Mu Zhengyi's footsteps turned, and he pulled Mu Hongsheng to find Princess Ningfu, and after greeting Princess Ningfu for a few words, Mu Zhengyi took his sister to Princess Pingyang again.
Princess Pingyang was a little surprised when she saw the Mu brothers coming over. After the brothers and sisters of the Mu family greeted her, Princess Pingyang greeted her in a routine manner, then turned her head to look at Mu Hongshang carefully, and suddenly asked: "I haven't seen Sister Mu for a long time, but she has grown taller again, like a big girl, and she is getting more and more beautiful." What are you doing at home these days when you don't go out? ”
Mu Hongshang was slightly stunned, but still replied obediently: "It's nothing, just like my brothers and brothers, I study martial arts and play in one place when I am free." ”
"Hmm." Princess Pingyang nodded, and a sentence came out of nowhere: "Martial arts, good martial arts." ”
Mu Zhengyi was also a little inexplicable, he hesitated slightly, and smiled at Princess Pingyang: "My sister is lively, and it's good to practice martial arts." ”
"That's good." Princess Pingyang bowed slightly: "It's better for the girl to be lively." ”
Princess Pingyang is the eldest daughter of the emperor today, her biological mother died long ago after being deposed, and her husband has not been sealed after she got married.
The eldest princess is not as lively and friendly as Princess Ningfu, she is noble and reserved, even if she goes out to a banquet, she rarely laughs and talks with others. At least the Mu family brothers have never seen this eldest princess take the initiative to greet people so actively.
But obviously, Princess Pingyang seemed to be just bored and casually talked to people, she and Mu Zhengyi chatted a few more words, and the topic did not involve anything else, but just asked Mu Hongshang about some short things at home on weekdays, what books to read with the master, whether she would learn to be a girl on weekdays, or what she likes to eat.
It's just a few simple questions, her attitude is not kind, when Mu Hongsheng answered obediently, she didn't seem to listen seriously, it seemed that she was simply bored to find someone to say a few words.
It was as if she was bored at this time, it happened that the brothers of the Mu family came to say goodbye, and it happened that she was looking at Miss Mu more pleasing to the eye right now, so she asked a few more words, that's all, and she didn't even bother to care about what Mu Hongshang was.
The two brothers of the Mu family were delayed here for a while in Princess Pingyang, Zheng Chongjing, the king of Rongkang County, was a little anxious, he followed a group of clan disciples to come over to ask for a toast, and now most of the people who came together have dispersed, and he is still here to linger, it is really a little too conspicuous, as if he came here to talk to these powerful ministers.
Seeing that Mu Zhengyi finally led his sister to turn around, Zheng Chongjing was suddenly overjoyed, and he immediately greeted him, wanting to take the opportunity to say a few words to the Mu family brothers and sisters. In fact, everyone is good, even if you can't talk to Mu Hongsheng, it's good to chat with Mu Zhengyi for a while, but Master Mu is not allowed to be the next envoy of the Northern Territory!
Who knew that Mu Zhengyi was holding his sister, turned his heels, and ran directly to Mr. Gu and his wife with Mu Hongsheng, which made Zheng Chongjing a little unable to get up. One of them had just said hello to Mr. Gu and his wife, if he got up again, it would be too obvious, and if someone saw it, he would naturally know who he was aiming at.
The second ...... Today, following the Gu scholar and his wife, there is Gu Yimei, the seventh sister of the Gu Bachelor's Mansion, this Gu Yimei...... He'd worked hard to curry favor with him before. In front of her, it's not good to say anything to Sister Mu.
Forget it, there will be a chance next time. Zheng Chongjing shook his head in disappointment, so he had to turn around and walk to Mrs. Mu, greet her, and flatter Mrs. Mu a few words, which made the old lady very happy.
It can only be like this, Zheng Chongjing turned his head to look at the Mu brothers and sisters who were still greeting Mr. and Mrs. Gu, turned around and left reluctantly.
When Zheng Chongjing left, Mu Hongsheng and his wife had a good conversation. That's right, the two of them were really happy to see the two brothers take the initiative to come over to say hello, their granddaughter Gu Yilan was out on business, it was General Mu who helped, not only that, General Mu also enthusiastically helped bring the letter back to Beijing, this letter is too important for Gu University.
Gu Yilan's things in the letter are very important, in addition to the matter of King Yi, there is also the matter of Chunzhou's assassination, this information made Gu Daxue prepare when the ordnance case was turned over, so Gu Daxue is really grateful to Mu Zhengyi, he understands very well that in this matter, the Gu family owes the Mu family a great favor.
This favor has to be repaid. Scholar Gu had already thought about it, and when An Guogong entered Beijing next time, he would support it unconditionally, even if it didn't matter to Shang Lin Xiang because of this, he could tell which was more important and which was lighter. Although Lin Xiang is not easy to offend, it is also very important to strengthen the relationship with An Guogong.
For Gu Daxue, An Guogong, as a lonely minister, although he is not involved in party disputes and cannot be his close ally, but An Guogong has always been able to talk in military affairs, and the emperor trusts him very much.
There are pros and cons to befriending such a person. Their family Lan'er is really a smart child! has worked the eldest sister of the Mu family for so long, and it has really paid off. The relationship between them and An Guogong is different from the past.
It is precisely because of this that the husband and wife of the Gu family saw that the Mu family brothers were a little closer, and Mrs. Gu even signaled Gu Yizhu and Gu Yimei, who came to the banquet today, to play with Mu Hongsheng.
