Mu Hongsheng's answer, Zheng Ying was not surprised at all. This girl really took the jokes she had with her brothers as a contract that had to be executed, and stubbornly decided to enforce them unilaterally.

"Your brothers are very good at choosing places." Zheng Ying nodded at Mu Hongsheng: "Jiangnan is indeed better than Yiling, prosperous and rich. ”

"So I'll wait for them in Gangnam." Mu Hongshang looked at the moon and replied. But when she said this, her face did not have a bright smile full of vitality as usual, but showed a trace of confusion and melancholy.

Zheng Ying didn't speak, but also looked up at the moon.

"The moon is so round." Mu Hongshang sighed lightly: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival today!" On the day of reunion, the family should enjoy the moon together. ”

Zheng Ying didn't answer, but turned around and left directly, without even saying goodbye. Mu Hongshang didn't seem to mind Zheng Ying leaving like this, she didn't move, she was still sitting on the fence of the cloister, looking up at the moon, her eyes were still dry.

I don't know how long it took for Lotus Ye to find her, and when she saw Mu Hongshang sitting here, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, why are you sitting here." ”

"Oh, it's time to go back to the mourning hall." Mu Hongshang jumped down from the railing, turned around and wanted to walk in the direction of the mourning hall.

"Miss!" Lotus Ye hurriedly grabbed her: "It's not been two quarters of an hour since you came out, you've been kneeling for a day, and the slave has prepared hot water to prepare a knee compress for you." The water chestnut has already come back with food, so why don't you use some? ”

"Not hungry." Mu Hongshang shook her head: "Sister Lotus Ye, don't be busy, I'm resting." ”

"That's not going to work." Lotus Ye stubbornly grabbed Mu Hongsheng, and refused to let go: "The old lady specially told you to go back after eating, and the young lady can't be disobedient." You have to keep watch before the spirit for a long time, how can you stay up like this......"

Lotus Ye nagged all the way, pulling Mu Hongshang all the way away, and after their voices gradually disappeared, Zheng Ying suddenly came out of the corner and returned to the corridor, where Mu Hongshang had just stayed.

He followed Mu Hongshang's example, leaned on the railing of the corridor, raised his head, and looked at the moon in the sky......

Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin took the place of the emperor to guard Mu Chengfang's spirit, and the two did not leave until the early morning of the second day.

On the second day, more people came to pay tribute to Mu Chengfang, and many officials below the fifth grade came to pay tribute on this day, including Gu Yilan's father, Xie Shurou's father, and Jiang Wenbin, the squire of the military department.

In fact, on the first day of the public memorial, Xie Xiang, Gu Scholar, Li Xiang, etc., these important ministers of the court have already come, because the Gu family is in-law, so Gu Scholar and his wife took Gu Sanye and his wife to the door to mourn, this second day Gu Sanye came again, in fact, the colleagues of the same household department came to mourn, there is a little bit of collective activity, Xie Changjing, who is also an official of the household department, came to the door with Gu Sanye.

Most of the low-ranking officials of the various yamen in the DPRK and China came in this way, except for Jiang Wenbin, the squire of the military department.

Jiang Wenbin came alone, and he cried very sadly as soon as he entered the mourning hall. His face was gray, with a deep dark blue under his eyes, and he looked like he hadn't rested for days.

Jiang Wenbin's grief is very sincere, as a messenger, he has been to the north several times, and he is very familiar with Mu Chengfang, who has been an envoy. Jiang Wenbin actually admires the brave and resourceful Mu Chengfang very much, and in his heart, Mu Chengfang is definitely worthy of the words "Wen Tao Wu Strategy". He believes that Mu Chengfang is not only a fierce general of the imperial court, but also has insightful military strategy, judgment of the general situation of the border, analysis of the situation in Beijing, China and North Korea, and local governance in the north.

In Jiang Wenbin's heart, even if Mu Chengfang unloads his armor one day, he can be an excellent civil servant. Therefore, after Mu Chengfang was seriously ill and stepped down as a strategic envoy, Jiang Wenbin sincerely hoped that Mu Chengfang would be able to return to Beijing to recuperate as soon as possible.

He hoped that Mu Chengfang would get better as soon as possible, and that he would have another chance to communicate more with this wise general. Jiang Wenbin even felt that if Mu Chengfang could return to Beijing, he would definitely give him a lot of guidance in the affairs of the Ministry of War.

It's a pity that Jiang Wenbin's hopes were disappointed, and Mu Chengfang chose to burn all his last vitality in the cold, barren land in the north where the war is spreading.

He didn't come back and never will come back.

Jiang Wenbin wore a white cloth belt around his waist to enter the door to mourn, he was the only official of the court to do so, and after entering the mourning hall, he respectfully saluted Mu Chengfang's spiritual seat. All this was seen by his friend Xie Changjing. Xie Changjing was of course surprised, and also felt that Jiang Wenbin should not do this.

"Wen Bin, what are you doing?" Xie Changjing avoided people, secretly grabbed Jiang Wenbin, frowned and said, "So many pairs of eyes are staring!" By doing so, you are tantamount to publicly announcing that you have a great relationship with the Anguo Mansion. How can you be so careless, and you are not afraid of provoking criticism. ”

"Whoever wants to talk about it, talk about it," Jiang Wenbin replied with a calm face: "Mu Zhongmin is the pillar of the country, in order to ensure the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has done his best all his life, as an official of the Ministry of War, even if it is for him to wear linen and filial piety today." ”

"You're really!" Xie Changjing almost pointed at Jiang Wenbin's nose and jumped high: "As I get older, how can I have some youthful spirit, this temper is getting more and more strong!" You are an official of the Ministry of War, and it is taboo to make friends with foreign generals! Do you still want a future? ”

"What I do will be taboo," Jiang Wenbin sneered: "Could it be that because I cried for Mu Zhongmingong and kowtowed to Mrs. Mu?" What am I doing wrong? Isn't Mu Zhongmingong's contribution to the imperial court worthy of me? Why is it that no one is allowed to pay respects in these years? Is it appropriate to take a superficial effort like others and make a move before the spirit? ”

"I know that you admire Zhongmin as a person," Xie Changjing knew his friend, so he didn't care that Jiang Wenbin's tone was too impulsive: "I also know that you are very sad that he died." But it's because I'm your friend and I know you. But others don't see it that way. They will only think that ...... Alas! Never mind! ”

"What can't be said directly," Jiang Wenbin sneered: "Think I'm acting exaggerated? Mischievous? Interested in currying favor with the Mu family? ”

"Forget it, I don't advise you." Xie Changjing waved his hand: "Anyway, it's already like this, my colleagues in the household department are still waiting for me, and I will go to your house to find you later." ”

Jiang Wenbin didn't speak, nodded at Xie Changjing, Xie Changjing turned around and left in a hurry.

He stood at the second gate of the Anguo Mansion, and waited for Xie Changjing to walk away, then turned around and nodded slightly towards the shade of the tree in the corner, with a little apology on his face: "I'm sorry, it's too inappropriate to argue with people here, let you see the joke." ”
