"Whether it's serious or not, it's up to grandmother." Mu Hongshang pursed her lips and smiled, and handed the thick envelope in her hand directly to Old Madam Mu: "Grandmother, this is Sister Gu's letter." ”

"What?" Old Madam Mu was slightly stunned: "Hongsheng, I remember that you only wrote to Ningling the day before yesterday, how did you ......?"

"So this is not my reply to the letter I sent the day before yesterday." Mu Hongshang replied with a smile: "A few days ago, Sister Gu had an accident, Sister Xie wrote a letter to greet her, and when Sister Gu replied, she brought a letter to me together, which Sister Xie handed over to me. ”

"I see," Mrs. Mu looked a little disappointed: "It's not a reply, what are you doing with it?" ”

"Let my grandmother help me take a look," Mu Hongsheng smiled and showed a row of white teeth: "I think I wrote the letter the day before yesterday to be superfluous, but I can't be sure of this kind of thing, and I still have to worry about it." ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Mu raised her eyes and looked at Mu Hongsheng, looking a little puzzled, but she still opened the thick letter in front of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter according to her granddaughter's request, and said with a smile while reading: "Hongsheng, you are generous, you are willing to give the private message to your grandmother from Sister Gu...... Huh? This ......"

Old Madam Mu stopped talking halfway through, and then, like Mu Hongsheng, first hurriedly read the letter from beginning to end, and then spread out the dozen or so pieces of stationery, one by one on the low table on the soft floor.

More than a dozen pieces of letterheads, spread out to the fullness of the entire low table, Mrs. Mu squinted, looked left and right at the letterheads, and did not speak. Duchess An Guo looked confused, looked at her mother-in-law, and then at her daughter, not knowing what this old man was doing.

An Guo's husband's skirt wanted to ask, but her mother-in-law was lowering her head, as if she was studying those letters carefully, and she was embarrassed to speak casually, so she could only sit quietly on the side with doubts, waiting for Mrs. Mu to speak.

Fortunately, Duchess An Guo didn't wait long, that is, a cup of tea, Mrs. Mu suddenly laughed, laughing very happily, and then she stretched out her hand to point in the direction of her granddaughter, and sighed with a smile: "You are a clever ghost, you are not very old, but you know everything, and you can't hide anything." ”

"Originally, I was just suspicious," Mu Hongshang replied with a smile: "Isn't it for my grandmother to show it!" ”

"Good! You're the smartest. Old Madam Mu raised her head with a smile and instructed Mu Hongsheng: "The letter will stay with me first, and in two quarters of an hour you will go to the outer study to read the military book, you go first, don't delay." ”

"Grandmother!" Mu Hongsheng puffed out her mouth, as if she wanted to be coquettish, and Mrs. Mu stretched out her hand and patted her brain like a dog.

"Go, go," said Mrs. Mu with a smile, "I have to discuss with your mother and your uncles first, and then write to the north to ask your father for their opinions, and then I can start to make a decision." It's not interesting for you to stay here and listen to the trivial details of our tirade, so you might as well go and read the military book with Tsing Yi and them. ”

"Oh." Hearing that her grandmother was like this, Mu Hongsheng had no choice but to touch her nose, turned around and walked out very obediently, and turned back halfway through as if she remembered something: "Grandmother, when I went to the outer study, I passed by the courtyard of the second uncle, shall I call her over?" It also saves Sister Cuiliu from running errands. ”

"Okay." Old Madam Mu nodded with a smile: "Let her call your third uncle and fourth uncle to come over together, don't talk to your eldest brother in advance, so that he won't worry about this and that, and the troubles will not stop, I will look annoying." ”

The grandfather and grandson asked and answered, and the Duchess of An Guo on the side was confused, but she didn't ask casually, and after her daughter went out, she opened her mouth: "Mother, this is ......"

"Ah Luo," Old Madam Mu beckoned to her with a smile: "Let's take a look at the letter written by the ninth sister of the Gu family to Hongsheng." ”

Gu Yilan actually didn't write anything in the letter, just like she usually wrote a letter to Mu Hongsheng, greetings, instructions, and anecdotes in Ningling. The only difference is that she mentions Mu Zhengyi several times in the letter.

On the surface, it seems that Gu Yilan is grateful for her kindness, and she always keeps in mind the grace that saved her life, but Mu Hongshang is such a delicate child, and she just sniffs out a trace of unusual flavor from these seemingly ordinary chatters and greetings.

But Mu Hongshang is only thirteen years old after all, and she is still ignorant of these delicate feelings, she is indeed a transparent child. But for those girls who admired her heart, she actually didn't particularly understand, she intuitively felt that Sister Gu's thoughts and greetings for her eldest brother in the letter were unusual, but it was different, and she didn't understand.

Therefore, after studying Gu Yilan's letter for a long time, Mu Hongsheng finally decided to bring the letter to Mrs. Mu to see.

Old Madam Mu is so shrewd, how could Gu Yilan's lovesickness and longing hidden behind ordinary greetings be hidden from her, so as soon as she saw this letter, she understood, it turned out that her eldest grandson and the ninth sister of the Gu family really looked at each other!

"Alas!" After Mrs. Mu handed the letter to Duchess Anguo, she shook her head with a smile and sighed: "I knew that I wouldn't let Hongshang write a letter to inquire about Gu Jiujie's thoughts, it's really a redundant move." ”

Duchess An Guo never knew that Mu Zhengyi was in love with Gu Yilan, so she was really surprised to see this letter, and when she heard Mrs. Mu like this, she immediately raised her head and asked, "Mother, you already know about Zhengyi and Sister Gu?" ”

"Not two days before you." Old Madam Mu replied with a smile: "Zhengyi fell in love with Gu Jiujie, and he kept hiding it, he felt that Gu Jiujie's identity was not suitable, and he wanted to give up his thoughts. But if you really like a person, how can you hide it, two days ago at the banquet in Princess Ningfu's mansion, Hongshang showed his brother those sisters in the capital to show his brother, and when Zhengyi and Hongshang argued, they showed their clues, and Hongshang saw it. ”

"Alas!" Old Madam Mu looked at the curling white mist floating from the hot tea and sighed: "Zhengyi, this child...... He is usually extremely cautious and thorough, and he will never show his feet in front of us. If he hadn't always relaxed a little in front of his sister, and he was defenseless in front of the red dress, how would we have found out! Fortunately, Hongshang was careful and aware of it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Zhengyi will really give up his thoughts, and according to the old rules of choosing a daughter-in-law in our family, I will find a similar girl to make do. ”

"After all, Sister Gu Jiu is the granddaughter of Scholar Gu......" Duchess An Guo felt sorry for her eldest nephew on the one hand, and felt that the identity of the person who was in charge of the clothes was really tricky.
