Chapter 405: Double Standard
Speaking of Gu Yilan, Xie Shurou immediately thought of her father-in-law, Mu Jingluo, so she hurriedly asked, "Hongsheng, what is the condition of Mu Jingluo?" Yesterday, the emperor sent the imperial doctor to the north, and there were many rumors in Beijing, saying everything. I just went to say hello to your grandmother, and I didn't think she looked very good, so I didn't dare to ask. ”
Mu Hongsheng was silent for a while, and finally whispered: "If it weren't very serious, Daddy wouldn't be in such a hurry to send the letter back." ”
"Why did you suddenly fall ill?" Xie Shurou frowned worriedly: "I remember that Mu Jingluo seems to have only ...... this year."
"Forty-four years old," Mu Hongshang took over: "One year younger than my father." In recent years, the border has been uneasy, and the second uncle, as a strategic envoy to the north, does not dare to return to Beijing to report on his work easily. If you count this year, he hasn't been back to the capital for seven years. The border is bitterly cold, he has been fighting all year round, and many old injuries on his body have not been able to recuperate, plus this year he has to provide disaster relief and resist the enemy, and the pressure is too great. The second uncle gritted his teeth and survived the winter, but in the beginning of spring, he couldn't hold it anymore. ”
"Even if it's an iron man, you can't bear it!" Xie Shurou couldn't help but speak: "You...... Well...... It must be fine. Mu Jingluo is just too tired, his body is depleted, the imperial doctor has passed, take a good recuperation, and he will definitely be able to recover as before. ”
"Hmm." Mu Hongsheng lowered his head and responded softly: "I think so too, it must be fine." The old doctor who has been in our house for many years also left Beijing for the north yesterday, and there are two good doctors to take care of the second uncle, and he will definitely get better soon. ”
Xie Shurou reached out and touched the top of Mu Hongsheng's head: "It's a pity that I'm not a doctor, and I really don't understand medical skills at all." I'm so useless, all I know is some bits and pieces of common sense, and I can't help if I want to. ”
"Why did Sister Xie say that?" Mu Hongshang shook her head: "I'm not a doctor either. How can everyone be a doctor? ”
"I thought you wouldn't be here today." Xie Shurou sighed softly: "Actually, there is no need to force it. Mu Jingluo is sick, and everyone in Beijing knows that even if you don't come, Princess Pingyang shouldn't care about it. ”
"Actually, I didn't want to come. Even if the second uncle wasn't sick, I didn't want to come. The princess invited Rong Di people, what is the matter with our family? Mu Hongshang raised her head and looked at Xie Shurou, her eyes were bright: "But grandmother said that it is because of this that we must arrive." ”
Of course, Xie Shurou understood the meaning of Mu Hongsheng's words, she nodded, and said with some sighs: "I said earlier, Old Madam Mu is really not an ordinary person. ”
"But I don't want to meet the Rongdi people at all." Mu Hongsheng curled her mouth, her face full of unhappiness.
"It's rare to see you so childish," Xie Shurou couldn't help but smile when she saw Mu Hongsheng's expression: "What? Are you still afraid that they will bully you? ”
"I'm not afraid." Mu Hongshang pouted: "It's just that the second uncle is sick, and my grandmother is already worried, and I don't want to make her more upset." ”
"Don't worry, I'll protect you!" Xie Shurou first patted her chest and reassured, then rolled her eyes again, and suddenly laughed: "Besides, the current Hu Lu Yinghuan probably doesn't have the heart to notice you." ”
"Huh? Why? Mu Hongsheng asked a little strangely: "I beat her the last time we met, and I thought she would hold a grudge." ”
"Well, according to her temperament, she should hold a grudge." Xie Shurou nodded thoughtfully: "But...... She's too busy chasing the king to talk to you. ”
"Huh?" Probably because Zheng Ying and Hu Lu Yinghuan are too mismatched, Mu Hongshang didn't react for a while, what does this "chase" mean, she blinked at Xie Shurou with round cat eyes, her little eyes were full of confusion.
"Hu Lu Yinghuan is in love with King Xin," Xie Shurou narrowed her eyes and smiled extremely gloating: "When she sees King Xin now, where can she see other people in her eyes?" ”
"She's in love with Shin-oh?" Mu Hongshang asked in surprise, "Really?" ”
"Of course it's true." Xie Shurou was busy shaking off all the gossip that Hu Lu Yinghuan had pursued Zheng Ying in the past six months to Mu Hongsheng. What did you go to the door of the Xinwang Mansion to block people, for Zheng Ying to dress up as a woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, what kind of banquet to meet and confess in public, a lot of small gossip, Mu Hongshang was stunned.
"King Xin and Hu Lu welcome the ......" Mu Hongsheng's mouth opened slightly, with an incredible look, as if he was listening to a book from heaven: "These two people ...... No matter how you think about it, you don't feel like you're a person all the way! ”
Xie Shurou glanced at Mu Hongsheng, and immediately hurried to start digging a pit for Zheng Ying: "That's hard to say." Although King Xin is indeed not interested in Hu Lu Yinghuan at the moment, no one can say what will happen in the future, right? This Hu Lu Yinghuan is also very good-looking, and he works so hard to please King Xin, and is chased by such a big beauty every day, I think a man will be moved. ”
"Big beauty?" Mu Hongsheng's mouth curled: "I don't accept it!" Obviously, my sister-in-law and sister Xie are better looking than that Hu Lu Yinghuan. ”
"Your sister-in-law is indeed a rare beauty in the world," Xie Shurou replied with a smile: "But if you really think that I am also better looking than Hu Lu Yinghuan, then I can only say that you are too heavy to call relatives and friends, and they are starting to distinguish between right and wrong." Hu Lu Yinghuan is very good-looking, the eyes are big, the contours are also distinct, and the facial features are quite three-dimensional, but the skin is a little at a loss. ”
"I can't be better looking than her, at most whiter than her. They are exposed to the wind and sun on the grassland all day long, and they don't pay attention to sun protection, and their skin is indeed a little rough, and they look a little old...... Ah, no, it should be called more mature. ”
"Actually, I think that Hu Lu Changrong looks better than his sister." Xie Shurou approached Mu Hongsheng with the appearance of an eighth woman.
"Is there one?" Mu Hongshang scratched her head, and suddenly couldn't recall Hu Lu Changrong's appearance.
"He actually looks quite similar to his sister," Xie Shurou nodded: "He has a clear silhouette, three-dimensional facial features, and is a handsome guy." And men, a little darker, rough skin is not very conspicuous, unlike women. To be honest, it's not that Hu Lu Yinghuan is not good-looking enough, it's that the world's requirements for women are too high, and they have been stared at and criticized for a little problem. This one is too fat, that one is too thin, this one is not white enough, and that one has a bad complexion or something. Why don't you take a man out like this? ”
"yes!" Mu Hongshang nodded thoughtfully: "Actually, I've always felt that Wei Yuan Hou Shizi looks very strange, his front teeth are very big, like a rabbit, but I don't seem to have heard anyone talk about it." ”
"Rabbit?" Xie Shurou couldn't help but smile and leaned back: "Actually, it's a mouse, right?" How can a rabbit have such a pointed face? ”
