This night, Mu Hongsheng quietly accompanied Mu Jinyi to watch the moon until midnight. Mu Jinyi didn't say anything all night, when he went back, it was already close to the hour, until Mu Jinyi left, and Mu Hongshang was about to wash and rest, Lotus Leaf and Water Chestnut asked worriedly: "Sister, is the sixth young master okay?" This kid has been awkward all night. ”

"It's okay," Mu Hongsheng shook her head: "Jinyi is just too happy, so happy that I don't know what to do." The third uncle hasn't been back for many years, and Jinyi is inevitably a little strange when he sees him. ”

"But too." Water chestnut nodded: "When the third master returned to Beijing last time, my sister and the sixth young master were returned, and it has been four or five years." ”

"Compared to them in brocade, I'm really much luckier," Mu Hongsheng looked at the candle flame and sighed: "Since I was older, my father has never been away from Beijing for more than two years, unlike the second, third and fourth uncles." Counting it, the second uncle hasn't come back for many years, and even the eldest brother is going to marry a wife, so he can't come back to take a look. ”

"Yes, there are also the fourth young master and the fifth young master," Lotus Ye also looked very emotional: "These two children haven't seen their father for many years." ”

"So Sister Lotus Leaf and Sister Water Chestnut don't worry," Mu Hongshang turned his head and smiled at the two maids: "Jinyi just hasn't seen the third uncle for many years, and he feels a little strange and overwhelmed, he will be fine soon, the third uncle is back, he is really happy, but he doesn't know how to get along with the third uncle." ”

"Don't want the sixth young master," Lotus Ye pursed his lips and laughed: "I see that the third master also looks like the sixth young master, and the father and son are more polite than others." ”

"Yes...... Mu Hongsheng's smile narrowed slightly, and he sighed softly.

But just like Mu Hongshang, Mu Jinyi is a cheerful child, his father who has not seen him for many years came home, he did feel strange at first, but after all, it was a father and son, he quickly adapted, and on the second day, he began to be naughty with Mu Hongsheng heartlessly, and on the third day, he began to talk like a normal child, chattering around his father, the atmosphere between the father and son began to gradually become harmonious, and Mrs. Mu and the third lady were very happy to see it.

"What am I doing," Mrs. Mu commented happily: "In the end, it will be the two of you, and it will be fine soon." I don't know what you're all talking about. Our children have to adapt to these, and the brocade clothes are already ready. When Hongshang was less than a year old, the boss went to the north for nearly two years and did not return, and when he came back, Hongshang didn't know him anymore, the boss stretched out his hand to her, she cried, no one coaxed well, and finally her second brother slipped away in the garden with her on her back, and it got better. ”

"I don't have Sakura" Mu Hongsheng immediately put on a posture of not admitting it: "I don't remember this." ”

"You are only three years old, how can you remember," Mrs. Mu smiled and touched the tip of her granddaughter's nose: "You were a troublesome spirit at the time, and your brother was far better than you." ”

A speech, made the people around laugh, this day is Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Chengxin did not go out at all, just sat in Mu Laofu Rao's house with his mother, Mu Zhengyi did not go out, he was sitting at the round table, staring at the younger brothers and sisters to share the fruit.

"Fortunately, the third brother was in time for Chinese New Year's Eve," seeing that the family was lively and lively, Mrs. An Guo was also in a good mood, and said with a smile: "This year's New Year is at home, and the third brother is also at home, which is more lively than in previous years." ”

"No," Mrs. Mu looked at the lively grandchildren in the distance, and said with some longing: "When the granddaughter-in-law enters the door, the Chinese New Year will be even more lively next year." ”

"Grandmother," Mu Hongsheng heard Old Man Mu's words, and spoke very actively: "When are you going to propose to the eldest brother, I want Sister Gu to marry in as soon as possible!" ”

"You girl," Mu Zhengyi's face flushed, and he directly picked up a candied fruit from the table and stuffed it into Mu Hongsheng's mouth: "I can't stop your mouth if I eat." The girl's family is not embarrassed at all when it comes to marriage."

"What am I embarrassed about," Mu Hongsheng replied with a smile while chewing candied fruit, "It's not me marrying a daughter-in-law." I think it's the eldest brother who is embarrassed, right? ”

"That's right," Mrs. Mu unceremoniously pulled the shelf, favoring her baby granddaughter: "It's a serious matter to marry a daughter-in-law, why can't Hongshang mention it, what is there to be embarrassed about." I think don't drag it out for too long, the third child, these days, the two of you will find an excuse to send a greeting post to the Gu University Scholar's Mansion to pay a New Year's greeting, so you can first put the meaning of our family with the same family, if the Gu University Scholar and his wife have no opinions, wait for the fifteenth, and then you will personally bring the official media to the door and officially propose. ”

"Mother rest assured," Mu Chengxin nodded with a smile: "The son must handle this matter properly." ”

"Alas, there was no need to be so conspicuous," Mrs. Mu sighed: "I originally planned to mention it to Mrs. Gu first when I entered the palace for the New Year, but who would have thought that the queen would not hold a palace banquet during the Chinese New Year this year, and would have spared the woman from entering the palace." ”

"King Yi and King Xin didn't have time to rush back to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year, so the queen naturally didn't have the heart to do this." Duchess An Guo replied.

"It's better to come back late, it's none of our business how their case is handled," Mrs. Mu looked indifferent: "After the New Year, the third child will go to court every day, even if there are any changes in the court, I am not afraid." ”

"I'm afraid that there will be a big turmoil in the next year." Mu Chengxin was silent for a moment and then replied.

"The soldiers are coming," Mrs. Mu replied, "If they can really bring down Zhou Shangshu, an official oilman, they can also count it as their ability." ”

"It's hard for me to see." Mu Chengxin shook his head: "But a few years ago, Lord Jiang went to the north, and Xie Xiang entrusted him with a letter to give to his eldest brother. The Xie family planned to take the opportunity to seek a position as a waiter. ”

"To whom," Old Madam Mu frowned slightly: "Xie Changjing?" ”

"To Jiang Wenbin." Mu Chengxin shook his head and replied: "Jiang Wenbin is Xie Changjing's friend on the same list, and the Xie family is the same, so it is the same for him." ”

"The candidate is not bad," Old Madam Mu nodded slightly: "Xie Xiang is really shrewd, knowing that if it is Jiang Wenbin, our Mu family will fully support it." ”

"Yes," Mu Chengxin also nodded: "If it was for Xie Changjing, we wouldn't necessarily interfere, but Lord Jiang is different." ”

"It's also a good thing," Mrs. Mu replied: "Jiang Da Skirt is a person who does things wholeheartedly, and his promotion to the rank of squire will also be beneficial to the northern border in the future, which is better than the few old fritters who are lazy and lazy in the military department at present." ”

"Jiang Darao is indeed an ideal candidate, so the eldest brother has already responded to the Xie Xiang," Mu Chengxin replied: "But everything is still inconclusive, let's wait for the New Year." ”
