After Mu Zhengyi left, the evil smile on Mu Hongsheng's face gradually fell. She looked at the position of the gate with a serious face, listening to Mu Zhengyi's footsteps, and only after hearing the greeting of the maid at the gate of the courtyard to send Mu Zhengyi came that she turned her head and looked at Mrs. Mu with a worried face.

"Grandmother," Mu Hongsheng asked worriedly, "It's really Sister Gu, what should I do." ”

"What to do," Mu Laofu's skirt was full of confidence: "Do what you have to do." You girl, I haven't worried about anything about you. ”

"Sister Gu's grandfather is a powerful minister after all," Mu Zhengyi was gone, and Mu Hongshang didn't hide her worries at all: "She, like Sister Xie, is really not suitable to marry into our family in terms of identity." If I was asked to think about who would be my sister-in-law before, I only thought that Sister Gu and Sister Xie were good. But the eldest brother really took a fancy to Sister Gu, but I felt worried. ”

"Don't worry about it, everything has a grandmother, and I have a sense of proportion." Old Madam Mu lightly tapped Mu Hongsheng's forehead and said with a smile: "When you just faced your eldest brother, where did that righteous and bold energy go." ”

"I'm not afraid that my big brother will think too much!" Mu Hongsheng sighed heartily: "He was already ...... Alas! If I show concern again, big brother he ......"

"You," Mrs. Mu touched her granddaughter's brain helplessly: "Just like your eldest brother, I always like to think more." It's all about having a grandmother, worrying about something. ”

"But what the eldest brother just did is clearly very reasonable." Mu Hongshang lowered her head: "This time is different from the past. Back then, my father married my mother, and the situation between the DPRK and China was not so complicated. ”

"Okay, don't worry about hearsay." Mrs. Mu soothed her granddaughter into her arms: "You don't know what happened when your father and mother got married, how can you know that it is better than now." Don't be afraid, with Grandmother here, she will be able to protect you. I know what happened to your eldest brother. You don't have to worry about the side, just like before, write a letter to Sister Gu, and ask her what she thinks of your eldest brother. After knowing her thoughts, Grandmother can continue to be your eldest brother. ”

"Okay...... Mu Hongsheng still looked worried: "If you really go to Gu University's Mansion to propose marriage, the emperor will probably not be very happy." ”

"Not necessarily." Old Madam Mu shook her head: "It is good for other people to marry a family, but this matter is placed in our Anguo Mansion, but it is not necessarily the case." Over the years, I have walked around your grandfather's house a lot! Besides, what does it have to do with me whether the emperor is unhappy or not, the Mu family has been loyal and good for generations, and his waist is very hard in front of the emperor, my grandson marries a daughter-in-law, why should I look at his face, whether he is happy or not. The queen stuffed so many clan girls in front of me, and they didn't ask me if I was happy or not. Therefore, this matter mainly falls on Scholar Gu. ”

"Why?" Mu Hongsheng was naturally not embarrassed by her grandmother, so she asked if she didn't understand.

"Because if the daughter of the Gu family really marries into my Anguo Mansion," Mrs. Mu said with a smile: "If the emperor really wants to be taboo, it is not only our Anguo Mansion that is taboo, but also the Gu scholars." Scholar Gu has always been cautious, and he must weigh his granddaughter's marriage carefully. ”

"What then?" Hearing Old Madam Mu like this, Mu Hongsheng's face became even more worried.

"Okay," Mrs. Mu smiled and patted her granddaughter's hand: "With me, what are you worried about." You will worry about this, why don't you worry about it, what if Gu Jiu Sister looks down on your brother? ”

"How nice my eldest brother is!" Mu Hongsheng looked confident: "I think Sister Gu will like it." ”

"Oh? Is it? Old Madam Mu asked Mu Hongshang with a playful face: "Then let me ask you, your really good eldest brother can please Fourth Sister Xie?" ”

Mu Hongsheng was speechless for a moment, and then argued stiffly: "Sister Xie, she likes my eldest brother, just because he is my eldest brother, Sister Xie also likes it." ”

"But Fourth Sister Xie doesn't want to marry your eldest brother, is grandmother right?" Old Madam Mu couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmm!" Mu Hongshang curled her mouth and admitted very reluctantly: "Sister Xie, although our family is fine, she and my eldest brother can't get together in any way. ”

"It's still there!" Old Madam Mu smiled and leaned back: "Fourth Sister Xie didn't take a fancy to your eldest brother." You, naturally, look at your brother very well, but don't be too complacent. Or obediently write to Sister Gu Jiu and ask her what she thinks of your eldest brother. Remember, you don't have to be too clear, in case it doesn't work out, there is a room for maneuver. ”

"I know." Mu Hongshang got down from the couch, put on her shoes and nodded obediently: "Grandmother, then I'll go back and write a letter to Sister Gu now, okay?" ”

"You go," Mu Laofuru nodded: "Go outside and talk to Cuiliu, let her go and spread the word, and call your mother and uncles to come over." ”

"Okay." Mu Hongsheng agreed to go out with a smile.

It is not difficult to write a letter to Gu Yilan, she was already on good terms with Xie Shurou, and she wanted to send a letter to Gu Yilan in Ningling together. It's almost the New Year, Mu Hongsheng sorted out a package for the New Year's gift to Gu Yilan, and prepared to send it to Gu Yilan with the letter.

Because she and Xie Shurou wanted to send a letter together, Mu Hongshang sent a mother-in-law and sent the letter and package to Xie Xiang's house, and after doing all this, she went back to report to her grandmother.

"Alright, I'll wait for a reply now." Old Madam Mu patted her granddaughter's hand: "Before Sister Gu replies to the letter, don't talk to others about this matter, lest your eldest brother feel uncomfortable." ”

"I know." Mu Hongsheng nodded, but she didn't have the appearance of Pipi when she was in front of Mu Zhengyi.

When Xie Shurou came over with the second letter, she told Mu Hongshang that the letter and the New Year's gift had been sent. Because it was a private message from the girl's family, Xie Shurou found an ordinary messenger and did not use the Xie family messenger.

Mu Hongshang thought that Ning Ling was quite far from Beijing, and when Gu Yilan's reply arrived in Beijing, it would not take ten and a half months, so she put the matter aside for the time being.

However, she didn't expect that in just two days, she received Gu Yilan's letter.

This letter is certainly not a reply to the one that has just been sent. Instead, Xie Shurou wrote a letter to greet Gu Yilan according to Xie Furao's instructions, and when Gu Yilan sent a reply, she sent back a letter to Mu Hongsheng together, asking Xie Shurou to help hand it over.

Gu Yilan's reply to Xie Shurou was only two pages, and she politely replied to the greetings, there should be a lot of words, not a lot of words, and every word did not leak. Seeing Gu Yilan's reply, Xie Shurou was not surprised at all, she knew that Gu Yilan would not have much in the letter, after all, Gu Yilan's grandfather and Xie were officials in the same dynasty, and the relationship between them was very delicate, and it was normal to have reservations.
