Chapter 668: August Flying Velvet

Previous Chapter

Xie Shurou sent a letter to the palace, and then continued to be silent. She is busy, and she is busy making down cloaks for Mu Hongshang at home every day.

Even busier than her is Gu Yilan, Gu Yilan sent people to the Xie family to learn to choose eiderdown, of course, she couldn't hide it from the Duchess of Anguo, who was in charge. As a result, it didn't take long for the entire Anguo Mansion to know about Xie Shurou's down jacket making plan.

And then...... Then the ladies of the entire Anguo Mansion invested in the vigorous garment-making action, and even Mrs. Mu, whose eyes had been spent, began to stare at the maids and women every day to choose down and sew warp and weft threads.

Lotus leaves, water chestnuts, green willows, and green clouds are all taken by Mama Wang every day, sitting in the small courtyard of Mrs. Mu, making clothes for the young lady in the distance, everyone is very busy, but the mood is generally a lot better.

Especially after Hongshang left, because she missed Cuiyun, who cried every day for Miss, she had something to do now, but she didn't cry.

The subordinates of the Mu family are busy, and the ladies are actually not idle. Gu Yilan first used a little down, and sewed a round hand cage according to Xie Shurou's way of sewing warp and weft, which was thick but very light.

Although it is the height of summer now, this thick hand cage is used by the ladies of the Mu family in turn, just to verify whether this down hand cage is really lighter and warmer than cotton.

But more than ten days later, no one can say whether this thing is good or not. Light is light enough, but although the down is fine enough, it still can't stop the occasional fluff from running out.

Therefore, Duchess Anguo still decided to do the winter coat, in case this fresh down jacket is not so easy to wear?

So these days, the Anguo Mansion is very busy, the ladies are busy arranging ordinary winter clothes, and Gu Yilan takes the maids and servants to pick down, so that fine fluff flies everywhere in the whole mansion.

While the house was busy making winter clothes, Mu Hongsheng from Shuozhou was planning to follow the team to Yanzhou.

The Shuobei army, which had been besieged for many days, suffered heavy losses, and Mu Chengde was not polite at all, and directly added more than half of the army left by General Zhenguo to his own team, and the rest were sent to Yanzhou by him.

Mu Hongshang was also ready to go to Yanzhou with him.

She has been in Shuozhou for more than ten days, and finally got her leather armor back. The leather armor was washed clean by General Zhang's wife, but Aunt Zhang was reluctant to return the leather armor to Mu Hongsheng. She has been nagging unwillingly, saying something like what girls should wear skirts, Mu Hongsheng only listened with a smile and didn't pay attention to her.

Shuozhou's defense is tight, of course Mu Tieyi can't leave Shuozhou, he can't personally send his sister to Yanzhou, he has been sad for several days. The day before Mu Hongsheng's departure, Mu Tieyi and Mu Qingyi chattered around her for a long time, but no matter how they told her, they still felt that they couldn't rest assured.

"Okay, I'm fine all the way from the capital to Shuozhou, Shuozhou to Yanzhou is not far, I'll send a letter to my brothers when I arrive." Mu Hongsheng had to turn her head to comfort the two big men with sad faces.

"In our three border towns, there are always letters and soldiers coming and going, informing each other of the battle situation, you must remember to send me a lot of letters, so that I can rest assured." Mu Tieyi still had a sad face, and his eyebrows and eyes drooped: "Also, don't run around when you get to Yanzhou, but I'm not worried about this, with my father and eldest brother looking at you, I'm not afraid that you will be disobedient." Okay, okay, don't talk up, it's not okay if my brother doesn't nag! In short, Yanzhou is much stronger than Shuozhou, and the city is more prosperous. It's just that in the current wartime, it is probably not very lively, but it is better than Shuozhou. ”

"You bring all of this," Mu Qingyi stuffed a large package to Mu Hongsheng: "A lot of them were bought for you before the war." ”

"Brother!" Mu Hongsheng frowned: "I'm a school captain, with so many toys and food, others should laugh at me." ”

"Who laughed at you, you were originally a little girl," Mu Tieyi pinched his sister's nose: "The little girl's family, isn't it normal to have more bits and pieces?" There are no good things here in Shuozhou, but there are many Rongdi people here, such as carving leather and other Rongdi crafts, here is the best. I bought Red Shadow a beautiful set of carved leather bridles, just right for your carved leather saddle. However, when you arrive in Yanzhou, you are not allowed to go out of the city casually, there are wars everywhere, and it is not safe. ”

"Alas! Never mind! Mu Hongshang didn't bother to argue, and directly hugged the big package in his arms: "Okay, okay, I remember everything, and my brothers will go back to rest earlier." ”

Mu Tieyi still wanted to stay on it, but considering that Mu Hongshang had to leave with the army early in the morning of the second day, he had to rest early. Therefore, even if he was reluctant, he had no choice but to leave.

When they were all gone, Mu Hongsheng sighed heartily at the large package full of toys and specialties. She didn't need these things as a school captain, but if her brothers insisted on her taking them, she had to take them with her first. She planned to wait until she arrived in Yanzhou to see if there was a messenger to return to Beijing and talk about these things to bring to Xie Shurou to play.

Because she was going to leave early in the morning, Mu Hongshang originally planned to rest early. Biying is also a face-saving today, and she came back early and didn't run around, and was lying at the foot of the bed coiled into a huge ball ready to sleep.

Mu Hongshang was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, when Biying at the foot of the bed suddenly raised her head and looked straight in the direction of the door. And Mu Hongsheng also heard the subtle movement coming from the door. She immediately turned, took the sword in her hand, and walked lightly to the door, slamming it open.

The woman standing outside the door didn't seem to expect Mu Hongsheng to suddenly open the door, she seemed to be startled, and took a few steps back in a panic, as if she subconsciously wanted to run.

Mu Hongsheng saw the figure outside clearly, but breathed a sigh of relief. She is familiar with this woman, it is the Rongdi woman who was beaten that day.

I heard that it was because of the siege a few days ago, Mu Chengde ordered the thatched roof of the city to be demolished, and the roofs of these two people's homes were demolished, and they had not been repaired, and there was nowhere to go, so the steward of the Shuobei General's Mansion authorized them to continue to live for a few more days, and then go back when the roof was repaired.

However, after General Shuobei returned home with his nephews and nieces, the two of them did not live in the small room near the front hall. Instead, he moved to the backyard near the small corner gate and lived with a few servants in the General's Mansion.

Mu Hongshang has lived in this Shuobei General's Mansion for more than ten days, and naturally has seen this woman many times, and later Mu Hongshang found out that this woman is really often beaten, after she saw it, she took care of it a few times, but this woman didn't seem to appreciate it, and she didn't have a good face when she saw Mu Hongsheng.

However, Mu Hongsheng didn't care too much about this woman's attitude, every time she saw this woman being beaten, she would still go up to stop it.
