？？？ Mu Zhengyi glanced at the girl with a question mark, he really hadn't seen it, he didn't know it. He turned his head to look at his sister, wanting to ask if this girl was his sister's acquaintance, but he saw that his sister was also confused, and shook his head at him gently.

Fortunately, Xie Shurou is here. As the daughter of the Xie family, Xie Shurou has several times more opportunities to go out to the banquet than the Mu family, and she knows most of these girls who come over. It's not familiar, but at least it's right.

Mu Hongshang didn't know those girls, so she reached out and pulled Xie Shurou beside her, Xie Shurou immediately nodded clearly, and then began to responsibly take on the job of introducing Rao.

"This is the eldest daughter of King Pingkang," Xie Shurou first pointed to the goose-faced girl standing at the front: "The one in pink clothes in the back is the granddaughter of King Qing, and then ...... back."

It didn't take Xie Shurou to finish introducing everything, and the Mu brothers would figure out what was going on. It's all clan girls!

Mu Hongshang nodded at this group of beautiful girls, and then really looked at these girls carefully. However, her eldest brother Mu Zhengyi still had a straight face, with an expressionless appearance, and whoever came up to greet him would return the salute in a proper manner, not saying a word, not looking at it at a glance, just like a wooden man.

Mu Hongshang took a closer look at her brother's face and raised her eyebrows slightly. She still understands her eldest brother, just look at this performance. She didn't need to ask Mu Zhengyi what she thought of these clan girls, she definitely didn't like it!

Forget it, they're all clan girls anyway, so it's not just a good thing to miss it.

"Big brother," knowing that Mu Zhengyi didn't like these clan girls, Mu Hongshang immediately began to relieve his eldest brother: "I want to see the finch, if it is delayed any longer, the banquet will be held." After the feast, my grandmother would not let me walk around. ”

"Good!" Mu Zhengyi nodded immediately, he hugged his fists at the surrounding clan girls, and prepared two polite words to slip away with his sister.

However, I didn't expect that the brothers of the Mu family were very unlucky, Mu Zhengyi had just taken his sister to bypass the group of girls, and a large group of people came in at the door, this time there were men and women, in addition to a few noble girls from the clan, there were also several county kings and princes.

This group of people also has a clear goal, and as soon as they came in, they rushed to Mu Zhengyi, greeting one after another, and they couldn't have been more enthusiastic.

"The princess's mansion has invited a lot of clan relatives to come over for the banquet......" Mu Hongshang was a little dumbfounded.

"Of course," Xie Shurou nodded: "After all, this time Princess Ningfu is holding a winter banquet for the queen's mother." ”

"Oh." Mu Hongshang muttered, "In vain." ”

Xie Shurou carefully observed the grand occasion around Mu Zhengyi, and also sighed a little: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Master Mu to get out for a while, what should I do?" Do you still go to see the finches? Why don't I go with you? ”

"Why don't we sit next to us and talk," Mu Hongsheng replied after thinking about it, "Wait for my eldest brother." I don't think my grandmother will look at it, maybe the eldest brother will be able to get out later. ”

"Also school" Xie Shurou pursed her lips and smiled: "Anyway, it's quite cold outside, so it's okay not to go out." ”

Mu Hongshang and Xie Shurou decided to find a place to drink tea and chat, Mu Zhengyi was entangled, and Xie Mufeng decided to accompany him, so the two girls didn't go far, so they found a corner near the door of the flower hall and sat down against the wall.

"It would be nice if Sister Gu was here," Mu Hongshang looked left and right, and finally sighed: "The three of us talk together, just like when we go to a banquet on weekdays." It's a pity that she can't return to Beijing until the New Year. ”

"I wrote to her a few days ago," Xie Shurou raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Xie, who was greeting people in the distance, and decided to give Mu Hongsheng a secret: "My grandmother told me to write to her, and asked me to ask what was going on in Tongshan. ”

"Then it's good if you ask me," Mu Hongsheng blinked: "What do you want to ask, I'll help you ask my eldest brother." ”

"Don't." Xie Shurou immediately shook her head: "I'll just do what my grandmother tells me." These have nothing to do with your Mu family, so it's better to mix less. Hongshang, since you are here, I have to tell you something, our Xie family, my grandfather and grandmother, are still different from your grandmother. To our Xie family, don't be too honest. ”

Mu Hongshang turned her head to look at Xie Shurou, and suddenly smiled: "Sister Xie is also surnamed Xie." ”

"That's right." Xie Shurou nodded, and did not look at Mu Hongsheng, but looked at Mrs. Xie in the distance: "I am the daughter of the Xie family, so I have to be obedient." I am the daughter of the Xie family, so I can only be good when the Xie family is good. Your Anguo Mansion has never been involved in party disputes, and in many things, you are more detached than our Xie family. So there are some things that you can leave alone, so as not to implicate yourself. ”

"I know." Mu Hongshang nodded with a smile: "I know it in my heart." ”

Xie Shurou sighed softly, and only after a moment did she continue: "We are not the same as you. I, Gu Yilan, we can't get out. But you're different. Red clothes, sometimes I always regret it, if it is ......"

"Sister Xie," Mu Hongshang suddenly turned her head and looked at Xie Shurou's face, her big eyes flashed, and she had a soft smile on her face: "You and Sister Gu are my friends!" I don't have any friends in Beijing, so I think it's good to have you. Otherwise, I will marry far away in the future, and in addition to my family, I won't even have a cherry blossom to worry about."

Xie Shurou looked at Mu Hongsheng's bright smiling face and was silent without saying a word, and after a long time, she cheered up and smiled. She stretched out her hand and gently touched Mu Hongshang's forehead, and said with a smile: "Hongshang, you look the best when you smile." It's good to keep smiling like that. ”

Xie Shurou's second half of the sentence was not spoken, she looked at Mu Hongsheng's smiling face, and silently thought that she would try her best to protect this smiling face, so that Mu Hongsheng could always smile like this, smiling like the sun......

"I saw that Sister Xie was happy, so I naturally smiled happily," Mu Hongshang took Xie Shurou's sleeve and shook it gently: "Sister Xie don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”

"I know." Xie Shurou lightly tapped the tip of Mu Hongshang's nose: "You will be fine at any time!" ”

"That's right." Mu Hongsheng raised her head and compared the direction of Mu Zhengyi with her chin: "It's my eldest brother who is unlucky right now, it's all half, and my grandmother won't come to save him." ”

"The thoughts of the queen mother, who in the Manchu Dynasty does not know." Xie Shurou glanced at Mu Zhengyi in the crowd, and replied with a smile: "She can't interfere with the marriage of your Anguo Mansion openly, and she can only find a large group of clan girls to send to your brother." But it's also useless. Where is the eldest prince of Mu at the mercy of manipulation. ”

"Sister Xie," Mu Hongshang suddenly leaned over very actively, lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think my eldest brother is good-looking?" ”
