Chapter 419: The bustle in front of the house
"Speaking of the Chinese New Year's Eve celebration that year, I really miss it," Bi Ying's eyes lit up, "It's snowing heavily, let's all gather around the brazier, cut window flowers, guess lantern riddles, paste blessing characters, ah, and rub dumplings, I still always think about the eight treasure dumplings that Zheng Bo made at that time!" ”
"What's so difficult about this, Miss Biying wants to eat, I'll ask them to buy some glutinous rice, red dates, and peanuts in a while, and we'll eat dumplings tonight."
Bi Ying rubbed her hands excitedly when she heard this, "Ah, really, great, it just so happens that our family is reunited again today, and it is better to eat dumplings!" ”
Bi Ying was overjoyed, and was glanced at by Uncle Zheng, and noticed Mu Yunyi's expression on the side, only then did she realize that she had lost her words.
At the beginning, everyone in the house was there, but Mu Xiu was missing. Mu Yunyi searched for Mu Xiu all over but couldn't find his trace, and when she heard the word "reunion" at this moment, she recalled the figure of Chinese New Year's Eve that year, walking through the snow and looking for plum blossoms for her...... Mu Xiu, I really want to see you.
Bi Ying didn't know that Mu Xiu was actually not dead, but at this moment, seeing Mu Yunyi's gloomy and sour eyes, she still felt that the master was still grieving for Mu Xiu's death, so Bi Ying hated to be unable to slap her two mouths.
"Lord, Master......"
"Let's go in quickly, I'm afraid that someone will come back in the afternoon to congratulate us, and put everything in place earlier."
"Yes!" Bi Ying hurriedly followed Mu Yunyi with a small broken step, and she didn't dare to say a word for a long time.
After living in the princess's mansion, as Mu Yunyi expected, there was an endless stream of guests, Mu Yunyi lived in it at the beginning, but it was not like this, naturally because of Mu Yunyi's identity now - the eldest sister of the new emperor of the West Vault, Princess Anhe, who was valued by Emperor Dongzhao, and the young lady who wanted to marry in the Zhenguo Mansion.
On the morning of the third day, before the end of the day, there was a long and endless carriage and horse team passing by, because the convoy was huge, almost alarmed all the households in Yuanjin Lane, and the people of the princess's mansion also heard the movement outside, Zheng Bo opened the door of the mansion, wanting to see the excitement outside, but did not want to look at it, the carriage headed by did not pass by the alley outside, but came towards the gate of the princess's mansion.
Uncle Zheng muttered to himself: "Shouldn't you watch the excitement and see your own head?" ”
Sure enough, the mighty carriage and horse team finally stopped at the door of the princess's mansion, and Zheng Bo had already recognized from the emblem of the carriage and the clothes of the attendants that this was the handiwork of the Zhenguo Mansion, and it was the old housekeeper Chen who got off the carriage headed by the head of the carriage.
Uncle Zheng frowned secretly, but he still smiled decently and respectfully, and stepped forward to salute: "Chen is fine." ”
"Zheng is fine."
"Early in the morning, the Guogong Mansion is ......"
"Dare to ask if the princess is in the mansion now? If it's convenient, can you help with the communication? ”
"Wait a minute, I'll pass the word." After that, Zheng Bo turned around and entered the mansion, and secretly gave the two guards a look, and closed the door again.
The little guy beside Steward Chen frowned and whispered, "They...... What does this mean? ”
And Steward Chen didn't mind, and he wasn't embarrassed, he waved his hand to signal him to silence him, and waited with peace of mind.
Mu Yunyi came out and saw Steward Chen standing in front of him diligently, and then looked up at the endless carriage convoy, and had a vague guess in his heart.
"Say hello to Ann and the princess." Steward Chen took the accompanying servants and attendants to greet Mu Yunyi.
"Uncle Chen, please get up, this ......"
"The little one is here to send the hearts of our general and the Zhenguo Mansion on purpose."
Looking at the countless mahogany cabinets pulled on the carriage, Mu Yunyi finally knew what Su Wan's words were before leaving the Zhenguo Mansion that day.
Uncle Chen waved his hand, and there were two servants carrying a large cage half a person high, with red silk cloth hanging outside.
Bi Ying stepped forward to take a closer look, pointed and shouted: "It's a pair of geese!" These, these are not just hiring ......"
Before Bi Ying finished speaking, Luo Shuang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Bi Ying and stopped her words.
But where do everyone not understand when they see this pair of geese? The so-called hired goose is naturally a gift of recruitment.
Uncle Zheng saw that Mu Yunyi's face was embarrassed, so he first opened his mouth and said with a smile: "The Zhenguo Mansion is really heartfelt, but our princess's mansion has just been renovated, and the objects and furniture inside should also be newly added, I'm afraid these gifts won't be used for a while." ”
And Luo Shuang also whispered to Mu Yunyi on the side: "Master, if you accept this dowry, many things will have different meanings, you have to think about it deeply." ”
Seeing the doubts on Mu Yunyi's face, Uncle Chen seemed to have already thought of it, and said in no hurry: "The general was going to come to deliver it in person this morning, but he was summoned into the palace by the emperor before going out, and the general instructed the old slave to only send things over, so as not to miss the good time, and the rest, when the general leaves the palace, he will come directly to the princess's mansion and explain it to the princess in person." ”
The implication of this is that these dowry gifts were sent by Su Yan, and Steward Chen was a handover and delivery person, and when this thing was delivered, his task was completed, no matter what Mu Yunyi's mind was, whether he was ready to accept it or not, Uncle Chen would not be able to be the master at the moment. And Chen Bofang deliberately called himself an "old slave", and even raised his tone, making it clear that he "relied on the old and sold the old", he took great care of Mu Yunyi when he was in the Zhenguo Mansion, and now he can't refuse.
In addition to the subordinates of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Princess Mansion, there were also many people from other mansions in Yuanjin Lane standing around, and all eyes were focused on Mu Yunyi at this moment, to see how she responded.
Mu Yunyi pondered for a while, and said to Uncle Chen calmly: "Let's carry it into the courtyard first." ”
For a while, everyone who watched the excitement was a little confused, Mu Yunyi neither refused Uncle Chen, but also did not clearly accept these dowries, so did this matter come to be done or not?
Uncle Chen happily agreed, turned around and instructed the servants to quickly move the boxes of treasures into the princess's mansion. He remembered that before going out with the convoy this morning, his wife told him, "Yunyi's child is thoughtful and worried, you just need to send the things in order and completely, and the rest depends on Yan'er herself." ”
The attendants of the Zhenguo Mansion began to carry things in an unstable and neat manner, and the people of the Princess's Mansion were naturally very discerning and went out to carry and place them together.
"Uncle Chen, let's go into the house and have a cup of tea, it looks like it's going to be poisonous this day."
"Thank you for the princess's shirt, it's just that the slave has to keep an eye here, forget about the side, there are a few boxes of antique porcelain vases and jewelry treasures in the back, if there is a slight bump, wouldn't it hurt our general's mind."
"In this way, this palace will not be reluctant." Mu Yunyi nodded at Uncle Chen, and then took Luoshuang and Biying into the courtyard.
