"Master, after the investigation of his subordinates in the past few days, there is nothing unusual about Mu Fu, Mu Yunmo has not made any moves since he came back from Cangxuan Pavilion, Mu Yan is by her side every day, and Mu Yunchu has never left the mansion for half a step." Pei Xi stood respectfully in front of Qi Ling's table and reported to him truthfully.

"I know, keep watching, be secretive, and report anything unusual to me immediately." Qi Ling sat on the rosewood landscape pattern circle chair, amusing the "zero" on his shoulder, at first glance it seemed to be an ordinary bird player.

"Master, my subordinates have a question." Peixi hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth to ask.

"Huh?"

"Now that Mu is missing, there are many auspicious and unlucky, and you have also stripped the army in the hands of the Mu family, and the current Mu Mansion has lived up to its peak back then, shouldn't we focus on those nobles who now hold the army and power? Why do you have to spend so much energy staring at Mufu, which can no longer become a climate? ”

Hearing this, Qi Ling raised his head and glanced at Pei Xi, and said with a sneer: "Isn't it a climate? Do you think Mu Yuan has been the head of the hundred officials for so many years is joking? After Mu Yuan disappeared, all the military power in his hands fell into the hands of Mu Yunmo, even if I received the army held by Mu Yunmo, but who knows how many forces and troops there are cultivated in the dark of Mu Fu, and it is just that the time has not yet come to show it, and if Mu Fu is not completely eradicated, it will be an eternal hidden danger. ”

Pei Xi listened to Qi Ling's words, and couldn't help but sweat coldly, it turned out that his thoughts were still too superficial, and he immediately said ashamedly: "The subordinates are stupid, they will definitely follow the instructions of the left minister, stare at the people in the Mu Mansion, and the subordinates will retire!" ”

Qi Ling closed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the chair, and the fingers of his right hand rhythmically clicked on the armrest.

"The more you can't see the clues, the more problematic it is, Mu Yunmo, I'll wait, waiting for the day when you show your hole cards!"

"Ma'am." Uncle Fang of the Xuanfu came to the front hall, and saw Yan Rujin sitting on the chair of the Huang Limu inlaid stone master looking through the account books, thinking for a while, or opening his mouth to tell the matter uncertainly: "Mrs. Bokanghou Mei sent someone to ask in the morning, whether you will go to the tea party in the Bokanghou Mansion in the afternoon." Fang Bo paused, lowered his voice slightly tentatively and asked, "Otherwise, you won't go today?" ”

Yan Rujin heard this, but still carried out the movements in his hand, and slowly tasted the tea with the gold-edged embossed white porcelain teacup in his left hand, and then said lightly: "Of course I go!" Why not? I saw that her mood did not fluctuate, but her words were slightly harsh, and she rejected Uncle Fang's proposal.

Uncle Fang has been in the Xuan Mansion for decades, he is loyal and very transparent and decent, Xuan Shao and Xuan Yue respect him very much on weekdays, and Yan Rujin trusts him very much. Now that his uncle is proposing, Yan Rujin naturally knows very well that he is for the good of her and the family.

It's just that there are some things, the more you dodge them, the easier it is to attract rumors. The tea party is a routine activity of the nobles and ladies in Shangling City, every half a month there will be one afternoon, everyone gathers in a certain house, the tea party is ostensibly a tea chat, in fact, it is an excellent way for the nobles to contact each other through the female relatives and find out the news.

"Put the post here." Yan Rujin pointed to the desk at hand.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from the corners of Fang Bo's forehead, "This...... Today, Madame Bokanghou only sent someone to come, but she did not bring a post......"

Thinking that Mei Shi expected that he would not go to the tea party again, and sent someone to embarrass himself. Because of the Pei family's affairs, I am afraid that everyone is waiting to see her jokes like her, how can she not know, although there is a harmonious atmosphere between the noble ladies on the surface for so many years, but in private, they all have their own thoughts, and the Xuan Shao family is high and stable in the Xizhao country, which makes everyone jealous, especially these ladies, who have nothing to do on weekdays, love to compare with others or chew their tongues, and now that the Xuan family has such a big thing, they don't want to seize the opportunity to make an article.

If you don't go to the tea party, those people will definitely not give up, but will more wantonly stir up rumors behind people, it is better to attend as usual, so as not to respond to all changes.

"Go ahead and get ready." Yan Rujin gave an order and got up and went back to the room.

"Yes." Uncle Fang knew that his wife must have thought about it, so he stopped talking about him and went down to prepare the carriage.

The tea party was in the Bokang Hou Mansion, and the carriage traveled all the way to the west of the city, and finally stopped in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion. The servants in the Hou Mansion saw Yan Rujin get down from the carriage, tried their best to hide the bright light in their eyes waiting to see a good show, and after saluting respectfully, they led her to the back garden.

Yan Rujin walked into the pavilion in the back garden, and the voices of the ladies in various provinces stopped chatting suddenly, and they all turned their eyes to Yan Rujin, who had just arrived.

A slightly chubby lady stood up and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xuan is here, sit down, I'll leave you, we all don't think you're coming!" With that, the ladies around them snickered in low voices.

Yan Rujin came not late today, but everyone had already arrived early, thinking that they were all here to see if she would come, thinking about this, she smiled and said: "How could I miss the time to drink tea and chat with all sisters." As he spoke, he walked to her seat, and when he sat down, he saw that the table in front of her was empty, and he did not show any annoyance at all.

This made Mrs. Mei Shi, who was the master, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said to the maid beside her: "Even the tea set can be leaked, it seems that I have to give you tight rules recently!" What are you doing in a daze? Don't go yet! "But everyone who can do it again understands that this tea set was originally deliberately not placed by Mei's, if Yan's does not come, it is reasonable, and if she comes, it will just embarrass her.

Everyone thought that something so big had happened to the Xuan family, and Yan Rujin's originally proud temperament would be shortened, so they cast inquiring eyes at her.

Today's Yan Rujin is as usual, with a meticulous bun, and the autumn-colored brocade stand-up collar long jacket with a horse face skirt with 10,000 characters makes her as graceful and elegant as ever, only to see that her demeanor is peaceful, although time has left a faint fine line between her eyebrows, but it is still difficult to hide the nobility of the self-contained, dark brown eyes are clear, as if she does not care about those eyes with deep meaning.

After taking a seat, Yan Rujin said to everyone: "The sisters came so early today, it seems that I am lazy and late, I don't know what everyone was talking about just now?" (To be continued.) )
