"Rou'er......" Grandma Xie held her daughter's hand a little sadly, looking like she wanted to cry: "My poor child." ”

"Mother, don't worry." Xie Shurou gently pushed Grandma Xie's arm, and put on the iconic white lotus smile: "Since it is a grandfather's decision, my daughter should follow it." The grandfather must have been for the good of his daughter. You don't have to worry about the future, so how can grandfathers and fathers not plan for their daughters' future? Mother just loves to worry about it. ”

Xie Shurou has lived here for so long, she is not so naïve for a long time, she gave up instilling any equal rights in Grandma Xie a long time ago. Some truths cannot be explained casually through a few sentences. Those feudal values of male superiority and inferiority of women have permeated every subtlety of the entire society, and those so-called "rules and truths" have penetrated into people's blood and bones, and even to a certain extent, can be called the cornerstone of the Great Zhou civilization, how can it be easily shaken.

There is nothing wrong with Xie Shurou's words, like what a gentle and obedient girl in this era would say. However, her attitude made Grandma Xie more and more worried. But she didn't know how to speak up and express her concerns.

"Mother," Xie Shurou smiled and comforted Grandma Xie: "Didn't the Zen master of Daxiangguo Temple say that her daughter will be glorious for a lifetime in the future, how can the master's words be false, you are just worrying." It's getting late, go back and rest, there's a lot to do tomorrow morning. ”

Grandma Xie was coaxed and persuaded by Xie Shurou for a while, and then reluctantly went back. After she left, Xie Shurou didn't feel sleepy, she got out of bed directly with her shoes on, Yingyue and Yingxing saw it, and hurriedly came over to approve her clothes.

"Miss, it's almost the third shift, although it's already summer, but the night dew is heavy, it's still a little cool," Yingxing persuaded softly: "You still can cover the bed, if you are sleepy, the slave maid and Yingyue are here to talk to you." ”

"No, you don't." Xie Shurou shook her head: "Spread paper and polish ink, I want to write a letter." ”

"Does Miss want to write a letter to Miss Mu?" Yingyue asked, "It's not too late to write tomorrow morning." ”

"Hurry up early, not late," Xie Shurou replied, "I have to stay outside until the beginning of autumn, and I have to be busy packing my luggage tomorrow." ”

Xie Shurou's letter was sent away early in the morning, so Mu Hongshang received it before breakfast.

There was a big incident at home, but Mu Hongshang still insisted on practicing martial arts every day. Although she was the only one left in the primary school field of An Guogong's mansion, and she no longer needed to accompany her brothers and brothers to practice, she still arrived at the small school field early in the morning every morning.

Why do you want to continue to insist, in fact, Mu Hongshang herself can't say clearly. She only knew that she couldn't stop, she had to continue practicing, as if she was still accompanying Jinyi. For Mu Hongsheng, sweating like rain on the school field every day, or being beaten blue and purple by Master Huiming, is actually like comfort. Let her strength that has nowhere to use and efforts that have no direction can at least have an outlet for catharsis.

Therefore, these days, Mu Hongsheng practiced even more diligently than before, and arrived at the small school early in the morning, no one called her to eat, and she didn't know how to stop.

So recently, staring at Mu Hongsheng every day to practice martial arts has also become Gu Yilan's habit. She sat quietly on the edge of the school field, looking at the sun, accompanying Mu Hongsheng, and when it was time for breakfast, she would stop in time, and then accompany Mu Hongsheng back to the room to take a shower and change clothes.

Being a companion with Mu Hongshang is actually a comfort for Gu Yilan, she is busy with things, so as not to let her think cranky. Because she hadn't received Mu Zhengyi's letter home for too long......

Mu Hongshang had just taken a shower, changed her clothes, and sat in front of the dressing table to comb her hair, while Gu Yilan held a small needlework basket and sat aside, directing the lotus leaf to pick out jewelry for Mu Hongsheng.

Xie Shurou's letter arrived at this time. After Mu Hongshang opened the letter and read it hurriedly, she immediately frowned: "Sister-in-law, Sister Xie said that Lord Xie Xiang wants to send her to the mountains to escape the summer, and she will leave in a few days, and she will not come back until the beginning of autumn." ”

"Show it to me." Gu Yilan immediately stretched out her hand towards Mu Hongsheng.

"How could it be so sudden." Mu Hongsheng asked with some confusion: "I'm afraid there is something wrong, right?" ”

Gu Yilan hurriedly read Xie Shurou's letter, but did not answer Mu Hongsheng's question immediately, but first found an excuse to pay out all the maids in the room.

After everyone was gone, Gu Yilan replied, "I guess...... Xie Shurou is afraid that she got her wish this time. ”

Listening to Gu Yilan's words, Mu Hongshang was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted: "Sister-in-law is saying that Xie Xiang may have made a decision and will not marry Sister Xie to King Yi?" ”

"If Xie Xiang wants to get married, where will she go up the mountain to 'escape the summer' at this juncture," Gu Yilan replied: "It's time to hurry up to get married!" Didn't Xie Shurou say a few days ago that her grandmother had already prepared a dowry for her. The dowry is all gone, but the girl is sent up the mountain, isn't it that he doesn't want to marry? ”

"If that's the case," Mu Hongsheng said in a low voice: "Xie Xiang......"

"Hmm." Gu Yilan didn't wait for Mu Hongshang to speak, so she nodded first: "I should have made a decision to choose King Xin." The Xie family's decision can't be hidden, this matter will not take two days, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will know that now the entire capital is staring at the marriage of Xie Shurou and King Yi. As soon as Xie Shurou leaves the capital, King Yi will immediately realize that something is wrong, and there will inevitably be great turmoil in the court at that time. Not to mention, Queen Wei will not give up on the first one, she can watch King Xin get cheap. ”

"It's so fast," Mu Hongshang sighed: "That sister-in-law, do you want to go back to your parents' house." The battle for the storage position has nothing to do with our family, but it is difficult for the in-laws to be alone. ”

"No, you don't." Gu Yilan looked at Mu Hongsheng calmly: "My grandfather should know about this matter one step ahead, and there is no need for me to remind him." ”

"How can my sister-in-law be so sure?" Mu Hongsheng frowned suddenly: "Is it possible...... Gu Jia......"

"Yes." Gu Yilan nodded: "It's just like you guessed." The Gu family has already chosen King Xin first. ”

Mu Hongshang looked at Gu Yilan in a daze. She didn't open her mouth to ask if Senior Gu made a decision so quickly because of Gu Yilan's efforts. There were some things she didn't need to ask to figure out.

She was silent for a moment, then slowly stretched out her hand, grabbed Gu Yilan's sleeve, and said categorically: "King Xin, you will be a good emperor." ”

"Hmmm! I know! Gu Yilan nodded and smiled at Mu Hongsheng: "My family's red clothes have always been accurate to see people, your eldest brother always says so." ”
