Chapter 340: A Narrow Encounter

"Why hasn't the eldest brother come out yet," Mu Jinyi turned his head and glanced in the direction of Mu Zhengyi's courtyard, and muttered a little strangely: "Zhengrong Pavilion still feasts, what is he rubbing?" ”

"So many words." Mu Qingyi immediately reached out and knocked on the back of his little brother's head: "Hurry up and get out of the Zhengrong Pavilion for me." ”

"It's not me who got married." Mu Jinyi hugged his head unconvinced and muttered: "Besides, isn't my father here in Zhengrong Pavilion!" Fourth brother, what are you in a hurry? ”

"Just what does the third uncle look like alone," Mu Qingyi slapped Mu Jinyi again: "Hurry up, don't rub it." And the little sister, hurry up and go to Qushui Pavilion to have a look, the eldest aunt may also need help. ”

Mu Hongshang was very well-behaved, agreed, picked up the skirt and wanted to run, but was quickly grabbed by Mu Qingyi's hand: "Don't run, walk over slowly, wear such a skirt, be careful to fall." Ling Yi, you accompany your sister, and I will go to Zhengrong Pavilion with Jinyi. ”

"Okay." Mu Lingyi nodded immediately, walked over a few steps and took Mu Hongsheng's hand, and the two brothers and sisters walked side by side in the direction of Qushui Pavilion.

When they arrived, the guests had already taken their seats, and the wedding banquet guests of the Anguo Mansion were also divided into several places, and the VIPs were all in the Zhengrong Pavilion, although the Zhengrong Pavilion was very large, it was also crowded. In addition to a few of the current dynasty and family members, King Yi, King Xin, Princess Pingyang and his wife, as well as Princess Ningfu and his wife are here, and Prince Li and his wife are also here, accompanied by Mrs. Mu.

The larger area of Qushui Pavilion is also lively, the noble family in Beijing, but all who received the invitation of the Anguo Mansion, did not shirk, all came to the banquet, Yongping Hou's family, Anyang Hou's family, including Cheng'en County King and his wife, several county kings, Jin Lingwei commanders, several Shangshu, all the officials of the Ministry of War, and almost all the military generals in Beijing are here, and Yu Chengqi, the commander of Jinwei, also came with congratulatory gifts.

Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu Chengxin were in Zhengrong Pavilion, and on the side of Qushui Pavilion, Duchess Anguo brought two other concubines to entertain them, and they were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. Everyone in Beijing knows that the men of the Mu family are in the north, so it is not rude for the ladies to come forward to entertain, and the husband and wife of the king of Cheng'en even took the initiative to help receive the guests and share some of the burden for the Mu family.

When Mu Lingyi came over with Mu Hongsheng, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Duchess Anguo's forehead, and as soon as she saw the brother and sister appear, Second Lady Mu hurriedly came over and asked, "Is it all going well with your sister-in-law?" ”

"Okay," Mu Lingyi immediately replied: "We only came here after seeing the tent, the eldest brother accompanied the sister-in-law, the second aunt, you can rest assured." The fourth brother took the brocade clothes to the Zhengrong Pavilion, and asked my sister and me to come here to help the aunts. ”

"That's just right." Second Lady Mu immediately raised her hand and pointed to the side of Qushui Pavilion: "A few young ladies over there, Hongsheng went to say hello, Ling Yi came over here and toasted with the King of Cheng'en." ”

Mu Hongshang also nodded, and obediently prepared to say hello to those girls who looked very raw. Among those girls, the only one she knew was Wen Meiqing, or because Wen Meiqing was usually more than Li Yunzheng in one place, so she said a few times.

The young ladies who were originally gathered against the wall to talk were also a little surprised to see Mu Hongsheng dressed up, most of them were girls from the families of third- and fourth-grade officials, and it was rare to see the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion who rarely went out on weekdays, let alone have the opportunity to greet her.

Therefore, when Mu Hongshang passed, these girls seemed a little restrained, that is, Wen Meiqing, who was slightly familiar with Mu Hongsheng, seemed to be more active and lively, and the rest of the girls were very respectful, as if they were afraid that what they said was wrong and offended this "arrogant" eldest lady. Let's have a book

Mu Hongshang was down-to-earth and generous, she had a bright smile on her face, and after greeting the young ladies, she deliberately stayed for a while and chatted with these girls for a while, which made these young ladies who seemed very restrained gradually relaxed.

After leading these ladies into the table, Mu Hongsheng originally planned to turn around and find the Duchess of Anguo, but at this time, a little maid hurriedly slipped in by the door, and as soon as she came in, she went straight to the direction of Mu Hongsheng, she grabbed the lotus leaf that followed Mu Hongsheng, and said a few words in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Mu Hongshang stopped and looked at the lotus leaf with an inquiring expression.

"It's not a big deal." Lotus Ye immediately replied: "It's just that Biying somehow opened the door and ran away." Miss, let the water chestnut accompany you, the slave and maid go to find Biying, there are many guests today, it would be bad if it scares anyone. ”

"I'll go." Mu Hongshang immediately turned around and walked out: "You can't find it." Besides, even if it does, it may not listen to you, so I'd better take insurance. Sister Lotus Ye, you go and talk to your mother, just say I'll go and see my sister-in-law, and I'll be back in a while, don't let her worry. ”

Lotus Ye thought about it carefully and felt that what Mu Hongshang said was very reasonable. Mu Biying is so horizontal, let her go to find it, even if she finds it, Mu Biying will not be obedient and follow her back to the yard. That guy only listened to the young lady alone, and it was useless for others to say anything, but it was possible to provoke it and get a claw.

"Okay." Lotus Ye nodded immediately: "The slave maid went to tell Madame." ”

"Don't worry," Mu Hongsheng turned around and walked out: "At this hour, Biying is either in the back garden, or running to the stable to scare Chiying, I'll go to the garden to look for it first, and after you tell your mother, come to the garden to find me." ”

"Miss," the water chestnut thought for a while and added: "It's better to let the lotus leaf wait and go to the stable first, let's go to the garden and find it separately." ”

"It's fine." Mu Hongsheng nodded, turned her head and ordered: "Sister Lotus Ye, wait a minute, you go to the stable first, if Biying is naughty in the stable again, you send a little girl to the garden to find me, and I will catch it." ”

"Miss rest assured," Lotus Ye nodded: "The slave can save it." ”

Mu Hongshang stopped talking nonsense, and hurried through the lively Qushui Pavilion hall with a water chestnut and walked out. The surrounding guests felt a little strange when they saw that Miss Mu only took a maid out, but no one dared to inquire at will.

Mu Hongsheng hurriedly walked straight to the back garden, while after Lotus Ye greeted Duchess Anguo, she went straight to the stable. No one knew that Mu Biying, who was being searched, was now squatting in a remote corner of the back garden of the Anguo Mansion, assuming a posture of vigilance, staring at the stranger in front of him.

And Zheng Ying, who was standing opposite Mu Biying, stared at the leopard that suddenly appeared in surprise, a little at a loss.
