Chapter 76: Farewell
The future military generals of the family, even if there are no elders to follow, and there are no family servants to call and hug, in fact, nothing can happen, An Guogong and his wife are relieved. It's just that a large number of children go out on horseback, which is too attention-grabbing, so An Guogong did not allow the children to go out on horseback, but let them ride in the carriage.
On this day, the children went out early, and the six children took two carriages and quietly went out from the side gate of the Anguo Mansion and went straight to Kuixing Tower.
The children wanted to see off their brother quietly, so everyone didn't even bring the little servants, and even Mu Hongshang came out alone, and didn't bring lotus leaves and water chestnuts.
Mu Hongshang is a noble girl from a family, and she doesn't even bring a maid to go out like this, which is actually not in accordance with the rules. But in the Mu family, no one would criticize her for these things.
Before the children went out, Mrs. Mu heard that Mu Hongshang didn't want to take the maid, so she didn't say anything, but just told Mu Qingyi to take good care of her younger siblings and not drink too much in the restaurant, so as not to cause trouble.
The elders of the Mu family knew that the children wanted to avoid the elders and bid farewell to Mu Tieyi and Mu Chiyi in private. Without the presence of elders, you can say whatever you want, cry as much as you want, and say whatever you want. You don't have to pretend to be sensible, and you don't have to worry about your emotions being too exposed, and the elders will be sad when they see it.
Two simple carriages stopped at the gate of Kuixing Tower, and a string of five beautiful sons came down from the carriage, and there was a big-eyed little girl with a double bun.
No matter how simple these two carriages are, these young ladies are eye-catching enough, and the pedestrians on the side of the road have stopped to watch curiously, and the welcoming guys at the gates of several big shops near Kuixing Tower can't help but stretch their necks and look in the direction of Kuixing Tower.
"Whose carriage is this, why don't you add a badge."
"I don't know. But just look at the appearance of these young ladies and gentlemen, they must be nobles, and I don't know which children are really good-looking. ”
"How do you know that they are nobles, they are clearly dressed very plainly, the men are just plain robes of ordinary styles, and the little girl is wearing a beard skirt that does not even embroider a flower. Which young lady is dressed so shabby, don't you look at these children and think that they must be from a noble family? ”
"If it's not a big family, how can you go to Kuixing Tower to eat? Besides, don't look at the plain style of those young ladies and young ladies of the child, the materials are all expensive Song Jin, I am a buddy from Buzhuang, I know at a glance, and it is impossible to admit mistakes. Do you know how much Song Jin is in our store? If you sell it, your family can't afford it. ”
"Really? Did you read that right? That's amazing! Which young master and young lady of a big family go out and don't even bring a subordinate? ”
"But too! It's just the sons, why didn't the little girl bring a maid, so she came out like this. Isn't it a nouveau riche who has just come to Beijing, where can the big people in Beijing be so unruly. ”
Pedestrians on the side of the road were curious about the children of the Mu family, and the children of the Mu family were also curious to look at the street scene of Wenchang Street. Mu Tieyi took his sister's hand, smiled and gently tugged, "Let's go, Tsing Yi specially instructed someone to book a private room upstairs facing the street, open the window and look out, you can see more clearly." ”
"It's my first time in the restaurant," Mu Hongsheng smiled and looked up at her brother.
"Jinyi hasn't been here either," Mu Chiyi, who was walking in the forefront, turned his head with a smile and replied, "Last time I saw off my eldest brother, you and Jinyi were too young, we didn't dare to take you out." ”
"That's why I didn't dare to leave them behind this time," Mu Qingyi also laughed, "I didn't bring them out last time, Hongshang and Jinyi complained for half a year, and my ears were calloused." ”
"Did you also practice for your eldest brother in Kuixing Tower last time?" Mu Hongshang asked curiously.
"It's not." Mu Tieyi shook his head, "The eldest brother left Beijing in June, and we made a special inquiry at the time, and the lotus flowers of Ningcui Lake were just right in June." I heard that Ningcui Lotus Shadow is a prosperous scene in Beijing, although our brothers grew up in Beijing, but they practice martial arts and study every day, and most of them go out of the city to run horses, and they have never had the opportunity to go to Ningcui Lake to enjoy the lotus, so at that time we set the Taibai Building on Changxing Street, which happened to be on the lakeside, and you can enjoy the lotus. ”
"I haven't seen Ning Cui Lotus Shadow either!" When Mu Hongshang heard this, she puffed up her face and complained, "So why don't you take me and Jinyi." ”
"That's it!" Mu Jinyi echoed from the side, nodding like pounding garlic.
"What do you two have to complain about?" Mu Qingyi couldn't help laughing, he stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the door of Mu Hongsheng and Mu Jinyi's heads, "My birthday is in May, and I will leave later, you can just send me off in Taibai Building, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to see lotus flowers?" ”
As soon as Mu Qingyi's words came out, the children of the Mu family suddenly fell silent, and Mu Hongshang's big round eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly raised her smile again, and her eyes were sparkling with a smile.
"In this way, I have the most advantage," Mu Hongshang smiled heartlessly, "I will send the second brother and the third brother in Kuixing Tower, and the fourth brother in Taibai Building while watching the lotus, where else is there fun in Beijing, you tell me quickly, the fifth brother should set off in September, and the brocade clothes should be in November and winter, I have to find a good place to go at the right time." ”
Mu Jinyi also laughed cooperatively, he immediately grabbed Mu Hongsheng's sleeve and shook it coquettishly, "I don't know, but the last time I heard Master Chen and Master Zhao at home chatting, it was said that there is a tavern in Chengnanfang City, where the mutton pot is the best in Beijing, and it is only sold in winter, how delicious is it in Beijing?" I was a little greedy when I heard it. Why don't we go and inquire, and when my sister sends me, we'll go eat mutton pot. ”
"Okay," Mu Hongsheng smiled and nodded at her only brother, "But when the time comes, I'll be the only one left to send you, and the two of you will eat mutton pot, don't be disgusted and not lively." Alas! Hello to you, after a few years, we will all gather in the north, and I will be the only one left at home. ”
Mu Tieyi and Mu Chiyi were silent. Mu Lingyi replied with a smile, "When Jinyi was eighteen years old, I was already twenty years old, and I must have returned to Beijing to accompany you at home." Besides, when the time comes, the brothers will marry their sisters-in-law, and maybe the family will be more lively. ”
"By then, we will be more than eighteen years old," Mu Tieyi reached out and touched his sister's brain, with a little reluctance in his eyes, "Hongsheng, don't be in a hurry to get married, you must wait for your brother to be at home before you can leave the cabinet." My brother will personally carry you on the sedan chair. ”
"Huh? That's not going to happen!" Mu Qingyi shook his head with a smile, "On the day I sent my eldest brother to the north, my eldest brother had already said that when the red clothes went out of the pavilion in the future, he would carry the red clothes on his back to the sedan chair." I remember that it was already decided at that time, but the second brother wanted to steal the eldest brother's livelihood? ”
"Then I'll give it off." Mu Tieyi reacted super quickly, "I will send my sister wherever she marries, and no one is allowed to rob me." ”
"Oh, that's not going to work!" The remaining Mu family brothers shouted together, "Why!"
