Chapter 228: Fu Mei can't be fine
Mu Jinheng sent Afu over, stayed only one night, and then rushed back to the capital without stopping.
The main reason is that the capital is changing rapidly, and he can still make a contribution, but he is afraid that he will miss an important pass.
Before leaving, he handed Pei Shuyu's letter to Mu Huannian, and told Mu Huannian to act according to what he said; He also instructed his sister not to let outsiders know that Pei Shangshu's family members are all in Yuyang.
Mu Huannian looked at him, where would he not know that something was wrong, just watching Mrs. Mu and Sister Fu reunite after a long absence, tears in her eyes, and only suppressed this worry in the bottom of her heart.
Sure enough, two days later, the Queen Mother personally issued an edict to serve as General Jingyuan with Pei Shuyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Pei Jiheng as the general of Zhengnan, and Gu Yan as the captain of Xuelu, with Huashi Yan as the striker, and Li Heng as the rearguard, leading 100,000 people of Pei's army to respond to Nanshao.
The news failed to reach the gate of Yuyang Mu's house, and under Mu Huannian's instructions, the Mu family's house became a peach blossom paradise, ignoring the world.
Afu holds Chengyuan at Mrs. Mu every day, three generations of grandparents, not to mention how happy she is.
It's just that a month has passed, and there is no news from Pei Shuyu, let alone showing up, not even a word, Afu gradually began to panic.
That night, Wanwan waited for her to wash her feet, and she couldn't help but say, "We've been away from home for so long, Zhou Heke has sent you news?" β
Wanwan shook her head: "The slave is also thinking about this, and he has no news at all." The second master is busy, and he doesn't know what his little follower worries about every day. β
Afu instinctively felt that something was wrong, stood up suddenly, walked out of the basin, and didn't have time to put on her shoes, she was about to run out all the way, and was bumping into Mu Jinyao and Mu Jinshao with serious faces.
In the middle of December, the goose feathers were snowing and cold and windy, Afu's face was white, "What's wrong" stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.
Mu Jinyao took off his big hat and wrapped Afu in a handful and picked it up; Jin Shao rushed into the room without saying a word, and in a blink of an eye, he rushed out with Chengyuan in one hand and Wanwan in the other.
Afu's teeth kept chattering, and her mind was full of Shuyu in the chaos.
Jin Yao said in a low voice: "Sister Fu, something happened in Chang'an, I heard that they are coming to Yuyang, don't worry, my brothers will definitely ensure that you and the child are fine." β
Before Afu could say anything, she was stuffed into a dark place by Jin Yao, and then she heard Wanwan come in too.
Chengyuan was finally woken up, puffed up his voice and cried loudly, Afu's heart was broken, she threw herself to the door, and said repeatedly: "Quick, give me, give me!" β
Jin Shao originally planned to send the child in, but seeing that his face was full of tears, he said ruthlessly: "Sister Fu, Chengyuan is too young, I am afraid that his crying on the road will be refreshing, and I will arrange for the nurse and Sakura to take him away." You must believe the second brother, don't come out anyway, do you hear? β
Where is Afu willing to be separated from Chengyuan, crying and crawling out, but the door was locked, only to hear a "drive", the car ran quickly, shaking her to the wall of the carriage at once.
Wanwan was also shocked, rushed over and hugged her, the two trembled like chaff, no one could speak, just tears kept flowing.
Outside the car, Jin Yao and Jin Shao watched the carriage go away, and Jin Yao asked, "Where are you going to send the child?" β
Jin Shao gritted his teeth and wrapped the crying Chengyuan into his cloak: "Let's hide it first." If the child is gone, it will be gone, and Fumei can't be fine. β
Jin Yao glared at him, frowned, didn't say anything, opened the curtain for him, and carried the child into the house.
The fire was blazing in the house, and Mrs. Mu and Mu Huannian were waiting inside, next to the frightened Sakura and the nurse who had just arrived.
Mrs. Mu held the Buddha beads: "Buddha bless, what's going on!" β
Mu Jinshao glanced at Huan Nian, who was frowning, handed over the child to her, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry. Brother Fang Caiqing came for a trip......"
Mrs. Mu Huo Ran got up and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Jin Yao and pressed back to her seat: "Ah Niang, Brother Qing said that Prime Minister Li Cheng led the troops to raid Pei's mansion, and he was looking for Fumei and Chengyuan everywhere, and he came to pick up their mother and son for refuge." β
Mrs. Mu burst into tears. She hadn't seen this most concerned little son for too long, and she didn't know whether to care about Jin Qing or Afu first for a while.
Mu Huannian said eagerly: "Why don't you send Chengyuan there?" What if they find out? β
Jin Shao only changed his mind temporarily, where he thought about it so thoroughly, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
There was only the sound of a distant howl in the room.
Mrs. Mu stood up and said in a deep voice: "Jin Shao, you take the child, as well as Sakura and the nurse, to your father's courtyard." β
Jin Shao's eyes lit up.
Yes, speaking of the Mu family, most people only want to get the mansion where A-Niang and her brothers and sisters live, and few people can think of other courtyards.
Jin Yao frowned and said, "Daddy is willing for us to go over?" β
The corners of Jin Shao's mouth hooked up an evil smile: "I can't help him." This Mu family's property has already been assigned to your and my brother's names, so how can that old man be long-winded. Sakura, you two come with Childe! β
When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Ah Niang, if the officers and soldiers come to search, if I am not there, are you all right?" The eldest brother has always been busy outside, I'm afraid he is not familiar with the officials in Yuyang......"
Mrs. Mu said calmly: "You go by yourself, and you have to use some wrists when you search the other courtyard." On this side of the mansion, there is A-Niang and your brother, so don't worry. β
Jin Shao nodded, led Sakura and his party, and soon disappeared into the night.
The atmosphere in the room was slightly relaxed, and Mrs. Mu exhaled and sighed, "What happened to Jingli?" β
Jin Yao said respectfully: "Auntie, my son doesn't know either. β
Mrs. Mu turned her head and asked Huan Nian, "Does your brother have a letter?" β
Huan Nian shook his head, swallowed the words to his mouth, thought about it and said: "When Brother Heng came that day, he did ask me not to let outsiders know about Fumei's itinerary and ......."
Jin Yao said anxiously for Mrs. Mu: "And what?" β
"and..... If something happens to Master Pei and Fumei is sad, give her a letter; If nothing happens or if you are not upset, it will be burned. β
There was so much information that Mrs. Mu wanted to faint.
Jin Yao held her shoulder: "Ah Niang, Huan Nian, you guys rest first." Early tomorrow morning, I will ask someone to inquire in the streetsβbut I guess that tomorrow the officers and soldiers will come, and we will know what will happen then. β
Mrs. Mu nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, we have to recuperate....."
That being said, it's a sleepless night.
Early in the morning, when the mother and daughter met, they each had a pair of big black circles under their eyes.
They knew that they could not look as if they were waiting for officers and soldiers, so they picked out a piece of needlework and sat by the stove and chatted.
In fact, the talk is about the donkey's head not the horse's mouth, but it seems that it is harmonious in the end.
At noon, the door of the Mu family's compound was smashed by a few hairy soldiers: "Search for me!" The sinner must be here! β
The Mu family house was deep, but Mrs. Mu and Mu Huannian didn't hear this movement, only the housekeeper hurriedly reported outside the window: "Madam, girl, they came in!" β
Mu Huannian twisted his eyebrows: "Why are you so brutal?" β
As he spoke, Commander Hu, who was in the lead, rushed to Mrs. Mu's courtyard and waved his hand: "Rush!" β
The housekeeper panicked: "Our lady and girl are inside, and I also ask the soldier to take a break, and let our wife and girl avoid it......"
Commander Hu blew his beard and glared: "What I'm looking for is your wife!" β
After speaking, he rushed in, frightened Mrs. Mu and Mu Huannian into standing up immediately and hiding in the corner.
Mrs. Mu's house is full of heavy eaves and tiles, and she looks straight at Commander Hu, the richest man in Yuyang is not bullied-thinking about it, she stubbornly choked the idea of knocking on a stroke, after all, the second son of the courtyard has already given a lot.
Hey, it's really polite, since you have handed over the little son of Pei Mansion, it is reasonable not to spend so much money. However, the Mu family is really particular about people, otherwise the business would not be so big....
Thinking of the heavy bag given by Jin Shao, Commander Hu restrained his turbulent momentum and said with a smile: "Madam, girl, is Mrs. Pei there?" β
Mrs. Mu and Miss Mu shook their heads together: "No, she came to visit her relatives and left a few days ago." β
"No, the mother is gone, leaving the child with you?" Commander Hu put on a smirk, "Then I'm going to search for it." β
