Chapter 156: Request
Xie Shurou was actually not as happy as Liu Ying said, on the contrary, when she heard that Mu Hongshang suddenly came, her first reaction was that something was wrong.
It has been a year and a half since Xie Shurou crossed over, and she has her own understanding and understanding of this strange ancient world, and she no longer relies on the memory of the original owner to grope for a living.
Therefore, she knew very well that without a special reason, Mu Hongshang would not easily enter the door of her Xie family. Especially at this time, the sky is already dark, it is dinner time, even if a young lady wants to go out to pay a visit, how will not choose this time.
When Xie Shurou got the news, she hadn't actually eaten dinner yet. Although Mrs. Xie also loves her grandchildren, after all, the Xie family has a large family of men and women, and Mrs. Xie's husband, son, and grandson are all by her side, so there are naturally more things coming and going around her.
For most of the day, Mrs. Xie would not work, and the children would run away to eat in her yard. Therefore, most of the grandchildren of the Xie family eat in their own yard or in their mother's yard.
Unlike the Anguo Mansion with only female dependents and children at home, Mrs. Mu's greatest pleasure is to watch the children make noise in front of her, and most of the year, most of the day the children will gather around for dinner.
When Xie Shurou got the news, she was in Grandma Xie's yard with Xie Mufeng, waiting for her mother to come back to eat together after waiting for her grandmother.
It was already dark, and Grandma Xie's yard was lit up, and the golden warbler in Mrs. Xie's room suddenly broke in, running with sweat. Jin Ying is a big girl with a head and a face next to Mrs. Xie, I have never seen her in such a hurry, but Xie Shurou and Xie Mufeng were startled, thinking that something happened to Mrs. Xie.
"Fourth Miss," Jin Ying hurriedly said as soon as she saw Xie Shurou and didn't have time to see the ceremony: "You were originally in the grandmother's courtyard, so you called the slave maid to find it!" Madame told you to quickly change your clothes and go to the West Flower Hall to meet the guests, the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion is here!"
Listening to Jin Ying's words, Xie Shurou stood up in fright, she grabbed Jin Ying, and asked anxiously, "What did you say?" Sister Mu is here? What time is this? ”
"Yes!" Jin Ying nodded hurriedly: "Fourth Miss, hurry up, don't let Miss Mu wait for a long time."
Xie Shurou didn't say a word, left the golden warbler and ran out directly. She originally wanted to go directly to the West Flower Hall, but she was dragged by her maids Yingyue and Yingxing.
"Miss, Miss," Ying Xing persuaded with an anxious face: "Everyone has arrived, you are not in a hurry, Miss Mu will wait for you." Go back and change your clothes first, you go out to meet the guests in your regular clothes, and the lady sees the one to be picked. ”
Xie Shurou immediately turned around and ran into her yard, and without waiting for the maid to wait, she opened the cabinet and casually pulled a piece of clothes that could meet guests and put it on her body.
Seeing that she was in such a hurry, Yingyue and Yingxing couldn't delay the time to comb her hair again, so they hurriedly chose two gorgeous beaded flowers and put them on her head casually.
Fortunately, it wasn't dark yet, Xie Shurou couldn't wait for Yingyue to carry the lantern and ran out, and Yingyue and Yingxing chased after her. At this time, no one reminded Xie Shurou that she was a noble girl from a family and could not run like this.
Mu Hongsheng was eating fruit cheese with her head down, and Xie Shurou, who was running in a slightly messy bun, broke into the flower hall. Mu Hongshang raised her head, and was about to greet Xie Shurou with a smile first, when she saw Xie Shurou walking in front of her with a few steps, looking her up and down a few times with a worried and anxious face, and then asked straight to the point: "Sister Mu, what's wrong."
"Sister Xie......" Mu Hongsheng's eyes darkened slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly faded a little.
Seeing this, Xie Shurou didn't say anything, but directly raised her head and ordered Liu Ying, who was guarding the side: "Liu Ying, you should avoid it first, I have something to say to Sister Mu."
Liu Ying hesitated slightly, but still nodded, and quietly retreated with the subordinates of the West Flower Hall.
After everyone was gone, Xie Shurou spoke again, and her tone was still the same straightforward: "What's wrong?" Sister Mu, just say it directly. ”
"Sister Xie," Mu Hongsheng didn't go around in circles, and replied directly: "Grandmother asked me to come, I want to meet Xiangye, can Sister Xie help?"
See her grandfather? Xie Shurou was stunned for a second. But quickly reacted, Mu Hongshang suddenly ran over, and asked to see Xie Xiang, it must not be a trivial matter.
She didn't ask much at all, and nodded happily: "Okay!" Wait, I'll get someone to pass on the word first. ”
Xie Shurou called Yingyue in, and whispered to her to go to the study in the front yard to ask to see Xie Xiang: "When you ask to see you, you will say that I will send you over to ask for peace, and you don't have to go around in circles after seeing your grandfather, just say that Sister Mu asks to see you." On the way, avoid some people, and if you can't see your grandfather, you can go and send a message to my father, saying that I have something to see. Remember, don't alarm too many people. ”
Xie Shurou had already planned that if her grandfather refused to see Mu Hongsheng, then she would go and ask Xie Changjing for help to see if there was room for manoeuvre.
"Miss, don't worry." Full Moon agreed and ran out.
Liu Ying looked at Yingyue with a puzzled look and ran out not long after entering, but she didn't ask much. At this time, Xie Shuyi, who was called by Mrs. Xie to accompany the guests, happened to arrive, and Liu Ying announced in a loud voice: "Fourth Miss, Third Miss has arrived."
Liu Ying accompanied Xie Shuyi into the flower hall, and what she saw was Xie Shurou and Mu Hongsheng sitting together, Xie Shurou was talking about something, Mu Hongshang listened with a smile in her eyes, and it seemed that everything was as usual......
Of course, it was impossible for Xie Xiang to refuse to see Mu Hongsheng.
In fact, Mu Hongsheng's carriage stopped at the gate of Xie Xiang's mansion, and Xie Xiang had already received the news. Of course, he knew that the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion came to the door in the name of "visiting the sick" at this time, and there must be something, so he had already sat in the study and waited.
Xie Changjing, the uncle of the Xie family, was accompanying Xie Xiang in the study. Regarding Mu Hongsheng's overnight visit, Xie Changjing was also a little uneasy. The Guogong Mansion actually sent the baby pimple out, and he understood that the matter must be not small.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard Xie Changjing's Chang Sui report in a loud voice: "Uncle, the Yingyue girl next to the fourth lady is here."
After that, Yingyue saw the door of the study open from the inside, and Xie Xiang and Xie Changjing stood at the door together, as if they had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Master, uncle." Yingyue gave a blessing to Xie Xiang: "The fourth lady sent me to pass a message, and the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion asked to see the master."
"Hmm!" Xie Xiang nodded, walked out, and replied as he walked, "Got it." Chang Jing is waiting here. ”
Then Xie Xiang strode out of the courtyard door and disappeared.
Yingyue was a little stunned, sir, this is ...... Promised?
