The atmosphere in Mu Zhengyi's courtyard was very harmonious, and the young couple didn't seem to be disturbed by the upcoming parting, and the two of them seemed to be very calm, talking and laughing happily.

After dinner, Mu Zhengyi even took his newlywed wife to the back garden for a spin, and the two sat in the water pavilion together to drink tea and admire the moon, which was quite romantic.

When the little couple was under the moon before the flowers, Mu Hongsheng also sat in his small courtyard, holding Mu Biying's big head, looking up at the bright moon in the sky. She sat quietly like this, like a statue, and didn't move for a long time, until the lotus leaf pushed open the courtyard door and hurriedly came in, and she turned her head.

"Miss," Lotus Ye sighed first after seeing Mu Hongsheng: "Why are you still sitting here!" It's late, it's time to rest. The eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother are fine, the slave and maid saw them admiring the moon together at the water pavilion, the two of them talked and laughed, okay! Miss, don't worry about it. ”

"I know," Mu Hongshang replied, "Sister-in-law is actually very sad. But she won't let her eldest brother see it, and she won't let her grandmother see it, she is afraid that her eldest brother will be worried. ”

"If that's the case," replied Lotus Ye, "Grandma Da and Young are quite similar to you in this regard." Aren't you like that? ”

"Different ......" Mu Hongsheng lowered her head, put her forehead on Mu Biying's hairy head, and sighed in a low voice: "How can it be the same." ”

"Miss," Lotus Ye didn't argue anything, but persuaded again: "It's late, let's go back and rest." I'm going to have a morning class tomorrow morning. The slave knows that the eldest young master is going to the north, and you are also very sad, and the slave knows it. ”

Mu Hongshang didn't say anything, but stood up obediently, turned around and prepared to wash and sleep according to Lotus Ye's instructions.

However, seeing Mu Hongsheng's silent appearance, Lotus Ye was a little sad somehow, and she couldn't help but comfort: "Miss, if you are worried, why don't you ask Mr. Chen and Mr. Sun for leave tomorrow and not go to school, right?" Tomorrow, the eldest young master will have to be busy in the military department for a whole day, and you can go and accompany the eldest young grandmother. ”

"Nope." Mu Hongshang shook her head and refused: "Don't disturb your sister-in-law, she must want to stay alone." If I had taken a leave of absence to accompany her, would it have been in vain for her efforts to cover up. My sister-in-law wants us to see her good and happy...... It's good, otherwise the eldest brother would really worry about her. ”

"Alas!" Lotus Ye sighed heavily: "The slave knows." ”

"Miss, don't be sad," at this time, the water chestnut that had already prepared the bath water for Mu Hongsheng also opened the door and said, "The slave maid heard that the eldest young master is only going to the north temporarily this time, and he will come back in a few days." According to the practice of our family, the young masters can stay in Beijing for at least two years when they return to Beijing to get married, and the eldest young master has only stayed for less than a year, and he will definitely come back soon. ”

"Hmm!" Mu Hongshang replied wiltedly: "Sister Water Chestnut is right, the eldest brother will be back soon." ”

Mu Hongsheng's lost appearance when she was alone seemed to be just an accidental event with a small probability. Early in the morning of the second day, she was still the little girl who was as lively as a live fish, running around with a hundred times the spirit, and was disgraced by Huiming on the small school field, and had a hard fight with Mu Jinyi in front of Mu Zhengyi.

Mu Zhengyi is always very relieved to see his younger siblings laughing and playing like this, he likes to see his sister's smiling face as bright as the sun, and he also likes the atmosphere at home that is always too noisy. He smiled, followed the bouncing siblings all the way out of the small school, and after walking a short distance, he saw his wife, who was waiting for him by the stone road with a gentle smile on her face.

Mu Zhengyi quickened his pace, walked to his wife's side in a few steps, held her hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked back slowly side by side, like a couple who have been married for many years.

It's a good day like this, if only it could be like this forever......

It's just that Mu Zhengyi is a military general, and there are some things that he can't do if he thinks about them. Therefore, even if he was reluctant to give up his new wife, he had to set off to escort the military supplies to the north.

In the early morning of the third day, everyone in the Anguo Mansion got up early, and everyone sent Mu Zhengyi out. Gu Yilan, dressed in a pale pink dress, stood in front of Mu Zhengyi's horse, staring at Fang Xin and Fang Zhi stuffing a large number of packages into the carriage of the Anguo Mansion.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to move?" Mu Hongshang asked with a smile: "By the way, the things that I took to the northern border, my mother and uncles have already packed them up, what are you in these packages?" ”

"The backpack I made for my uncle before I got married," Gu Yilan replied with a smile, "Just let your eldest brother bring it over." The rest is for your eldest brother, clothes, and some snacks and dry food. ”

"Sister-in-law," Mu Hongsheng smiled heartlessly: "The eldest brother is traveling with Xiao Jinwei's light car captain and the head of the military department, and he is not alone, are you still worried that he will not be able to eat on the road?" ”

Listening to Mu Hongsheng's words, Gu Yilan also had a relaxed smile on her face: "The first time I prepared luggage for your eldest brother, I have no experience, and I will be fine in the future." The days are long, and the next time your eldest brother goes to the north, you will come and see how I am packing. ”

Mu Zhengyi turned his head to look at his wife, who did not look half gloomy, suddenly turned around and held Gu Yilan's hand in front of many elders: "Lan'er, I will come back as soon as possible." ”

"I know you'll be back soon." Gu Yilan nodded heavily at Mu Zhengyi: "I'll wait for you." Don't worry about me, I'm fine with my elders taking care of me and my younger siblings with me. ”

"Alright!" Old Mrs. Mu, who was standing at the gate to see off her grandson, turned around, turned her back to Mu Zhengyi and waved her hand: "Zhengyi, it's time to go, go early and return early." You always remember that your daughter-in-law is still waiting for you at home, so be careful on the road. ”

Mu Zhengyi left, Gu Yilan stood at the gate of the Anguo Mansion, watching his figure on a horse disappear at the other end of the long street, and then turned around, slowly walking back with a bit of loss on his face. Mu Hongshang didn't say a word, silently followed behind Gu Yilan, and sent her back to her yard until then, and then turned around and went to her grandmother's house.

Old Madam Mu was sitting alone in the house, and when she saw Mu Hongshang coming in, she hurriedly asked, "Is your sister-in-law okay?" ”

"It's not good, actually." Mu Hongshang replied very simply: "But I didn't cry." ”

"Alas!" Old Madam Mu sighed: "Let her be alone for a while." I'll always get used to it......"
