Chapter 164: Errand

Mama Zhang of Xie Mansion talked back and forth, Mrs. Mu was obviously in a better mood, she looked at the time, and directly sent the maid to the outer study to run errands, so that after Mu Hongshang finished reading the military book, she came directly to her to eat snacks.

Mu Hongsheng knew as soon as she heard that there was about news, so after she finished reading the military book, she found an excuse to separate her brother and younger brother and went to Mrs. Mu by herself.

"Grandmother," Mu Hongshang couldn't wait to ask as soon as she entered the house, "Did my brother send someone back with a letter?"

"It's not." Old Madam Mu smiled and shook her head: "The Xie family sent a grandmother, and the fourth lady of the Xie family also brought you a letter and a box of snacks." Xie Xiang has already forwarded the song, everything that should be said has been said, can you rest assured? ”

Mu Hongshang agreed, and a happy smile really hung on her face, she opened Xie Shurou's letter and hurriedly read it, and said, "Grandmother, Sister Xie also wrote a letter to comfort me." She said that the new dim sum delivered today is called 'Xue Mei Niang', what a strange name, as if it is a person's name. ”

"I opened it just now and took a look," Mrs. Mu said disapprerovingly: "It looks like a raw gnocchi, which is not unusual."

Mu Hongshang opened the box and glanced at it, and replied with a smile: "Sister Xie said that she could eat it directly, but it was definitely not raw." But grandmother, the Xie family has come to the news, why hasn't the eldest brother replied yet, he entered the palace early in the morning. ”

"Your brother doesn't know anyone in Xiaojinwei," replied Mrs. Mu, "and it's not so convenient to inquire about the news." How can you be a little girl who can worry more than me? ”

Mu Hongshang thought about it and felt that what her grandmother said was reasonable, so she didn't murmur anymore.

But in fact, she didn't have to mutter, because not long after she arrived in Mrs. Mu's room, Mu Zhengyi came back. After he came back, he went directly into the courtyard of Mrs. Mu, and also came up to tell him about today's news from the court.

Of course, the news brought by Mu Zhengyi is similar to that of Mama Xie, but it is more detailed. Mu Zhengyi told Mrs. Mu and Mu Hongsheng that Xie Xiang did open his mouth and suggested that the emperor should start recruiting troops immediately in accordance with the instructions of An Guogong and Mu Jingluo.

Mu Zhengyi also said that after the emperor saw An Guogong's recital, he was very dissatisfied with this year's Lao Junqincha, and also reprimanded Zhou Shangshu on the spot, saying that as an official of the military department, he used someone else, and his subordinate officials were lazy and lazy, and he was responsible for poor supervision.

Old Madam Mu and Mu Hongsheng were of course very happy to hear these words. Old Madam Mu smiled and nodded Mu Hongsheng's forehead, and said, "Now you little girl can rest assured, right?" Your brother came back slowly, and the news he got was naturally more detailed, but you couldn't hold your breath and kept talking. ”

"The eldest brother came back late," Mu Hongsheng replied with a smile: "The Xie family came to deliver the message more than an hour earlier than the eldest brother." Big brother, are you looking for someone from Xiao Jinwei to help inquire? ”

Who knew that Mu Hongsheng asked casually, but Mu Zhengyi did not answer immediately. He hesitated for a moment before replying, "No." It was King Yi who revealed the news to me, and it was not I who asked him, but he took the initiative to tell me. ”

"What?" This news made Mrs. Mu and Mu Hongshang feel a little surprised: "Brother met King Yi in the palace?"

"Nope." Mu Zhengyi shook his head: "I went to Xiaojinwei today, and the commander of Xiaojinwei told me that I don't have to answer in the palace in the future, and he asked me to go directly to Yiwang's Mansion."

"Yiwang Mansion?" Old Madam Mu immediately frowned: "How can this be! You are not an ordinary guard, but a military attache with rank, and during your return to Beijing, you are just temporarily suspended in Xiaojinwei Yingmao, so what do you want to do in the Yiwang Mansion? Is it difficult for them to let you go to the Yiwang Mansion to guard the door? ”

"As soon as I arrived at the duty room, Yu Chengqi, the commander of the Jinwei Dynasty, directly asked me to report to the Yiwang Mansion." Mu Zhengyi replied: "I didn't explain why it was arranged. I asked him whose order it was, and he only said that after the two princes left the palace to open the mansion, Xiao Jinwei was going to send someone over. He said that he was also thinking about me, saying that it was easier to go on errands in the prince's mansion, and he didn't have to enter the palace every day. ”

"It's not that he's talking about it," Old Madam Mu snorted coldly: "He won't say whose order it is, but he's just looking for some excuses to prevaricate you." Then you will go to the palace of King Yi every day in the future? ”

"Not really." Mu Zhengyi shook his head: "After King Yi saw me today, he said that he didn't have to go to duty every day, he went to his house every three or five days to sit and have a cup of tea, just as a response." If there was something temporary, he would send someone to pass the word. ”

"Heh......" Old Madam Mu sneered: "Lord Yi is really 'as approachable as a legend', you are a mere six-rank border general, where did you get such a big face, go to King Yi's mansion to drink tea." Our Mu family is not so arrogant, naturally we know what our identity is, and going to the Yiwang Mansion on an errand is an errand, and there is no side. You should be on duty these days, but according to his command. ”

"Yes!" Mu Zhengyi nodded: "My grandson thinks the same way." Every three or five days, I go to the door to be on duty, and I do what the other guards do. ”

"Regardless of him," Old Madam Mu looked very calm: "No matter who arranges for you to go to the Yiwang Mansion, you can do whatever you want." You are a border general who temporarily returned to Beijing, and you will have to go back to the north to guard the border in the future. Let's just keep the same for all changes. ”

Mu Hongshang flattened her mouth and did not speak. She was actually a little worried. Xie Shurou's vigilance against Zheng Jin also affected her, making her quite wary of this Yi Wangye, she just told her eldest brother yesterday to be careful of this prince, and today the eldest brother was actually sent to Yi Wangfu on an errand. How could there be such a coincidence?

"Don't worry." Mu Zhengyi immediately understood the little sister's expression, and smiled comfortingly at her: "I know in my heart, just like my grandmother said, to respond to all changes with the same."

"It's a pity," Old Madam Mu sighed, "You don't like the two girls that your eldest aunt showed you." Otherwise, now that he is engaged and begins to prepare for marriage, he can naturally shirk the errand of King Yi's mansion justifiably. ”

"What I don't like," Mu Zhengyi immediately smiled: "The girl didn't fancy me."

"Alright, you don't have to coax me." Old Madam Mu smiled and glanced at her grandson: "Your eldest aunt has written to me." You monkey, I don't know you yet? I said a long time ago, your family affairs are your own decisions, nothing else matters, what you like is the most important. If you don't like it yourself, it's useless for others to say it. It's okay, grandmother will choose another one for you. ”
