Mu Zhengyi and his family were originally dealing with the elders of the Gu family, Mu Zhengyi accompanied the Gu scholar to "drink tea and chat", while Gu Yilan tiredly dealt with her mother-in-law's mother-in-law. Both of them were a little tired, but they would definitely have to finish dinner before they could go home on the day they returned, so they had to stay up for a few hours.

However, I didn't expect that just after the end of the day, Mu Qingyi suddenly ran over with Mu Hongsheng.

Mrs. Gu was a little puzzled when she received the news, why it was only half a day after her granddaughter returned to the door, and her mother-in-law's uncle and sister-in-law came to the door. She immediately sent a girl to the front yard to pick her up, and instructed Grandma Gu Zhang Luo to prepare tea and snacks again to entertain the young master of the in-laws.

Gu Yilan was also very surprised, and she was a little uneasy, and she didn't know what was going on, but the fourth brother and Hongshang actually ran over on purpose. She also stood up with Grandma Gu, and just as she wanted to say to take a look, she saw another little maid running in.

"Madam," the little maid said breathlessly, "The young master of the in-laws family came to find the master, and went directly to the study in the outer courtyard, and the young lady of the in-laws family has already come in." ”

"Hurry up and greet you," Mrs. Gu hurriedly ordered: "The eldest daughter-in-law will go in person, and the seventh sister will go with your mother to greet the guests." ”

Gu Yilan sat in Mrs. Gu's room, she couldn't help but feel even more uneasy, she couldn't help but look out of the door frequently, and after a short time, she saw Mu Hongsheng in a light red bearded skirt appear at the door.

As soon as Mu Hongshang entered the door, she greeted Mrs. Gu in a proper manner, and then opened her mouth to apologize: "Today is a good day for my sister-in-law to return to the door, and we shouldn't come to disturb it. It was our rudeness, so my grandmother sent her little girl to apologize to her parents. ”

"Good boy, sit down," Mrs. Gu didn't care about these, she must know that there was an emergency, and the in-laws would come over: "Our two families are in-laws, and they are both a family, so don't talk about those false politeness." Tell your grandmother what happened to your grandmother in such a hurry to send your brother and sister over. ”

Mu Hongshang was waiting for Mrs. Gu to ask, as soon as she heard this, she immediately told Mrs. Gu about today's events, and after explaining it clearly, Mu Hongshang added: "The third uncle originally wanted to come to deliver the news in person, but grandmother thought about it, and hurriedly handed it over, afraid that the emperor would soon summon someone into the palace for questioning, so grandmother asked the third uncle to wait for the news in the military department, and sent the fourth brother and me to deliver the news, and then apologize to the parents." ”

"Your grandmother is also too polite, why do you need to come over to apologize for such a thing," Mrs. Gu immediately said: "Of course, it is important to be on business." Our lord is now in charge of the military seal with Lord Wang, and the sooner we know about such a thing, the better. ”

As soon as Mu Hongshang opened her mouth and wanted to be polite again, the big maid beside Mrs. Gu suddenly lifted the curtain and came in: "Madam, the master and the new aunt have already gone out, and when the master left, he ordered to let the young master and young lady of the in-laws stay for dinner, if they haven't come back after dinner, they may have to wait in the military department overnight, so let Miss Nine go back with the young master of the in-laws." ”

"Got it." Mrs. Gu immediately nodded and ordered: "Put tea fruits in the back garden, and ask the young masters to go and talk to the young masters of the in-laws." ”

Scholar Gu and Mu Zhengyi really didn't come back. At the time of the lamp, the brothers and sisters of the Mu family and Gu Yilan said goodbye and prepared to go home, Gu Yilan's return ceremony ended like this, and the father-in-law accompanied her back to the door, but in the end, it was the brother-in-law and sister-in-law who came to pick her up and go home.

After getting into the carriage, Mu Hongshang reached out and took Gu Yilan's hand, and said with an apologetic face: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, today is a big day for you to return to the door, but the eldest brother ......"

"What are you sorry for," Gu Yilan smiled and shook Mu Hongsheng's hand: "What's wrong with me, it's important to do business." Grandmother has thought it through. ”

"Sister-in-law has already guessed," Mu Hongsheng touched her nose a little embarrassed: "Originally, the third uncle planned to come to find the in-laws and the eldest brother in person, but the grandmother said that it would be better for me and the fourth brother to come, so that we can accompany the sister-in-law in the Gu family, and if the eldest brother is too busy to be available, let us accompany the sister-in-law home." Sister-in-law, I have wronged you. ”

"What's wronged," Gu Yilan smiled: "It's just a coincidence." ”

"I don't know if the third uncle and eldest brother can go home tonight." Mu Hongsheng propped her elbows on her knees, put her hands on her cheeks, and sighed depressedly: "Sister-in-law, how do you say the emperor will make a decision in the end?" The third uncle is so worried, there are difficulties in whether to fight or not. ”

Gu Yilan didn't answer, but turned her head to look out of the carriage window, and sighed silently.

Mu Chengxin and Mu Zhengyi really didn't come back overnight, Mrs. Mu was worried, after Shen Shi, she sent someone to the military department to inquire, and the news was that after the emperor watched An Guogong's recital in the afternoon, he urgently announced that Sanxiang, Gu Daxue, Lord Wang and Mu Chengxin had entered the palace, and Mu Zhengyi stayed in the military department and waited for the news.

After Mu Chengxin and Mu Zhengyi went home, it was already noon the next day, and as soon as they arrived home with their front feet, the inner supervisor of the imperial study on the back feet had already chased after them, and Mu Chengxin even had time to take a shower and change his clothes, so he immediately turned around and entered the palace.

Mu Zhengyi went back to the room to wash, ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, and immediately went to Mrs. Mu's courtyard.

"The third uncle said that the emperor carefully inquired about the situation in the north yesterday," Mu Zhengyi said to Mrs. Mu: "The uncle's recital has actually been very clear, but the emperor still asked again carefully, and after talking with the third uncle in detail, the emperor summoned a few people from the dynasty to discuss with King Yi and King Xin. ”

"What is the attitude of the two princes and several ministers?" Old Madam Mu asked.

"Xie Xiang is advocating fighting." Mu Zhengyi replied: "But Li Xiang and Lin Xiang are both in harmony. The two princes have not yet come up with a clear attitude, and the two of them, Scholar Gu and Lord Wang, advocate negotiating first, and then talking about whether to fight or not. The third uncle said that the two factions of the court and the parliament are arguing very much today, and there is no conclusion at the moment. However, the emperor has already ordered the Ministry of Rites to send someone to greet the Rong Di envoy, so grandmother, it's useless for you to be in a hurry, it seems that no matter what, the emperor will meet the Rong Di envoy first before making a decision. ”

"As expected." Old Madam Mu sighed and nodded: "Zhengyi, after a busy night, you go to rest first, and wait for your third uncle to come back from the palace." ”

"I'm not tired." Mu Zhengyi shook his head and stood up: "I'll go to the military department and wait for news." In addition, Jiang Shilang asked me to bring you a message, saying that if I have time tomorrow night, I will come to visit you. ”

"I see." Old Madam Mu nodded and replied, "Let's take a step and see a step." ”
