Chapter 150: Two Marriages (I)
Mu Ningxuan's rebirth this time is to avoid repeating the mistakes of the death of the eldest brother and the third sister in the previous life.
However, Mu Ningxuan, the cause of the eldest brother's death, couldn't always remember.
On this day, Mama Cui, who was next to Princess Gaorou, came to Liujutang to invite Mu Ningxuan over, saying that Mu Ningxuan's nurse was here.
After experiencing the previous life, Mu Ningxuan knew that this nurse Mama Zheng was not the person sent by others to make trouble for her, so she directly left Mama Zheng and Mama Zheng's granddaughter Ye'er, who was only three or four years old.
The eldest brother's marriage is close at hand, and the big red lanterns in the house have been hung high, and the lights are everywhere.
The so-called people are in good spirits when they are happy, and when double happiness comes, Mu Ningxuan's mood is better.
Why is it said to be double happiness, because of this peace and chaos, the eldest brother Mu Yuchen was promoted from the fourth-rank general Mingwei to the third-grade generals.
Mu Ningxuan was happy and still gave each of the maids in Liu Jutang a big purse, which was full of five taels of silver.
For Mu Ningxuan, who now earns more than 100,000 taels a month, this mere five taels of silver is really a drop in the bucket.
Besides, Mu Ningxuan knew that the eldest brother was going to come over later.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and he didn't see the voice of the first person.
"Sister, why are you spending money again!" The bamboo curtain sounded, and Mu Yuchen walked in from outside.
"I didn't spend money indiscriminately, did I?"
Mu Yuchen muttered, "Don't admit it? ”
"Admit what?" Mu Ningxuan blinked her big eyes and looked at the playful expression on her eldest brother's face.
"When did the food in the army be so good?" Mu Yuchen stared at Mu Ningxuan's eyes, as if you didn't tell the truth, I would tell you the secret of your "treasure incense".
"Big brother, sister, it's not good for me to pay out of my own pocket to improve the food in your army." Mu Ningxuan pretended to be aggrieved.
Mu Yuchen continued to keep a straight face, but his heart softened, and said: "Big brother, I don't mean to blame you, it's just that you can improve your food in moderation, what's the matter with big fish, big meat, mountains and delicacies every day." If you eat the mouths of these soldiers, what will you do in the future! ”
"I will continue to improve the food in the future!" Mu Ningxuan stuck out her tongue and said.
"No matter how much money you can make from that "treasure incense", you can't afford to earn the rations of hundreds of thousands of troops, so you won't be allowed to do this in the future! Mu Yuchen pretended to be angry and said.
Mu Ningxuan puffed out her mouth and said: "It's not to blame the eldest brother, I have to eat with your brothers in the army, if the eldest brother eats in his own account like the six princes, my sister doesn't have to spend so much money." ”
Mu Yuchen finally calmed down; "The eldest brother knows that my sister is doing this for the eldest brother, but this matter is only allowed this once, and it is not allowed to do this in the future, fortunately, the official family did not find out, in case it is terrible to know."
"Got it." Mu Ningxuan smiled. "Don't go out to fight in the future, okay?"
"Your eldest brother and I are a military general, what else can I do if I don't take troops out to fight." Mu Yuchen flicked Mu Ningxuan's forehead and said dotingly: "Sister, don't worry, your eldest brother and I are strong in martial arts, and we will come back safely." ”
Mu Ningxuan was still about to speak, Xiaofu walked in and said to Mu Ningxuan: "County Lord, those two people from Tianjin are here." ”
"Tsu people?" Mu Yuchen was a little surprised, he didn't know when his sister met the people of Jinguo, and the battle of Jinguo would have to be fought sooner or later.
Mu Ningxuan explained to her eldest brother Mu Yuchen: "They are businessmen, and they were accidentally met by my sister in the market on the day of Qixi Festival. ”
Hearing that they were businessmen, Mu Yuchen relaxed slightly.
"What are they doing here?" Mu Ningxuan didn't like them very much, she always felt that they were not good, speaking of which, she covered her face that day, and didn't say where her mansion was, how did they know that they came to the Pingchang Hou Mansion to find her.
Xiaofu replied, "If you go back to the county lord, they are here to send mink and fox skins." ”
"Take them to the side hall, I'll go over later, and talk to Princess Gao Rou, just say that I see a friend in the side hall." Mu Ningxuan said to Xiaofu.
"Yes, County Lord."
Xiaofu originally didn't have a good impression of the Tianjin man named Xianxian because of the rabbit river lantern, but after putting the river lantern together, she felt that this fairy had a good temperament.
"Since my sister is going to see a friend, I'll go back to the army first. If something happens, send someone to report to me. Mu Yuchen stood up.
"Yes, got it, big brother."
After Mu Ningchen went out, Mu Ningxuan asked Yutang and Qiu Mo to change her clothes, and then walked to the side hall.
"Why are you here?" Mu Ningxuan looked at the two of them and wondered.
The immortal came to Mu Ningxuan enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "It was the little prince who told us." ”
Mu Ningxuan scolded secretly in her heart, this little prince must have been annoyed by this Jinguo woman named Xianxian, so he told them her true identity. Mu Ningxuan had long heard that this immortal went to King Rong's Mansion every day to find the little prince.
"County Lord, you see that this is mink, and this is fox skin, both of which are of the highest quality." The fairy fairy showed the mink and fox skins to Mu Ningxuan.
Mu Ningxuan smiled and said: "You don't have to be so polite, I didn't actually do anything, it's all the credit of the little prince, you shouldn't come to me, you should thank him." Mu Ningxuan really didn't do anything, the person was saved by the little prince, and it was also the little prince who provided the room in the Songhe Restaurant, she just found that someone else threw a money bag and gave the little prince a look, that's all.
"We've been to him." Xian Xian continued, "County Lord, we have set up a table at Songhe Restaurant in the evening, and I invite you to come here. ”
"I have something to do at night, so I won't go, you and the little prince eat and drink well, and I'll invite you another day." Mu Ningxuan declined.
There was a slight redness on the immortal's face, and he said: "County Lord, you can come, the little prince said that if you don't go, he won't go." ”
It turned out that the little prince had this thought.
Mu Ningxuan smiled bitterly: "Why is he holding his niece..."
"That's it." The fairy began to pour bitter water, "We people in Tianjin have always fought for what they like, but the little prince is avoiding me, and he refuses to even meet him, how can he cultivate his feelings if he doesn't meet!" ”
Xian Xian continued: "County Lord, you can go, I heard that you like to eat the steamed sea bass of Songhe Restaurant the most, so I specially ordered it." Help me persuade your uncle tonight. ”
"Persuade what?" Mu Ningxuan didn't understand.
"Oh, of course I persuaded your uncle to obey me!" Xian Xian looked at Mu Ningxuan with a smile, not shy at all.
Si Luo, who was standing next to the immortal, had a gloomy expression, and he didn't say a word when he stood next to him.
Mu Ningxuan was also speechless, are the people of Tianjin so open?
Open to a girl's family, like men can say it in public.
Mu Ningxuan admired the courage of this Tianjin woman.
"By the way, the little prince was sick two days ago, and you persuaded your uncle to care about him before he got from me this time, and lay the groundwork." Xian Xian said as he snapped his finger.
"I really have something to do tonight, so I'm not going." Mu Ningxuan refused again.
No matter how much the immortal pleaded, Mu Ningxuan didn't agree to go over.
She did have something to do tonight, in this life, she didn't solve Guo Xiaoniang so quickly.
Mu Hou Ye thought that Guo Xiaoniang was really crazy, and ordered to seal the Jade Xuan where Guo Xiaoniang lived, and no one was allowed to enter or leave except for sending food to Guo Xiaoniang.
The closure of Guo Xiaoniang's Jade Xuan is very different from Guan Muningmeng's confinement, which means that after Guo Xiaoniang's death, the Jade Xuanxuan will no longer be uninhabited, unless it is rebuilt. And confinement, just don't let you go out, everything is as usual.
Everyone in the house thinks that Guo Xiaoniang is crazy and stupid, no one pays attention to her, and sends meals at most twice a day, all of which are leftovers that no one else eats, to ensure that she does not die.
Today's Yuqian Xuan is empty and dilapidated, and Guo Xiaoniang's former henchmen are gone.
But only Mu Ningxuan and Guo Xiaoniang knew that she was only in a state of madness for three or four hours a day, and the rest of the time she was awake.
Right now, because the fourth sister is going to marry into the Earl Zhengxun's Mansion as a concubine and the fifth sister cuts her hair to become a nun, Guo Xiaoniang's crying eyes are almost blind, and she is in great pain but she doesn't dare to die.
Among Guo Xiaoniang's three children, the only one who Mu Ningxuan did not move was the sixth brother Mu Yucheng.
In the previous life, Brother Tian'er's death was most likely the hand of Mu Yucheng.
In this life, Mu Ningxuan deliberately paid attention to Mu Yucheng and found that although Mu Yucheng was small, he definitely had an idea in his heart, and the city was quite deep.
Take the last Master's teaching as an example, the Master asked Mu Yucheng, "How do you explain the meaning of 'the three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition'. Mu Yucheng opened his mouth and asked the master: "If you follow your heart, whether it is right or wrong, is it okay?" ”
Mu Ningxuan must not leave a trace of hidden dangers, she must get rid of all hidden dangers before her eldest brother's wedding.
From tonight onwards, Guo Xiaoniang's madness will change from three or four hours to eight or nine hours.
From tonight onwards, the sixth brother Mu Yucheng has also contracted madness...
***
This time, the eldest brother Mu Yuchen's wedding caused a sensation in the entire capital.
All the ministers who could be mentioned in the court and the central government came.
It can be seen that the Pyeongchang Marquis Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion have a noble status and lofty status in the government and the opposition.
On the day of the eldest brother's wedding, Mu Ningxuan had nothing to participate in directly, so she only glanced at the new sister-in-law covered with Xipa from a distance, and went to visit the garden.
Mu Ningxuan was strolling, and Steward Cao came over and said that Mu Hou asked Mu Ningxuan to go to the study to talk.
Mu Ningxuan subconsciously thought that the person in the study might be the Sixth Prince, so she asked Qiu Mo to go back to Liujutang and bring the jade pendant box that the Six Princes had given her for safekeeping.
In the study, there was really only one of the six princes.
Zizhou Ping bandits, I haven't seen them for more than a month, and the six princes are not only dark, but also lose a lot of weight.
"Sixth brother is good." Mu Ningxuan curtsied to the six princes.
The sixth prince looked at Mu Ningxuan with a smile on his face and said, "Sister Xuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Mu Ningxuan handed the jade pendant box to the sixth prince: "Since the sixth brother is back, this jade pendant should be returned to the original owner." ”
The sixth prince did not take the jade pendant box, but pushed it to Mu Ningxuan: "Sister Xuan, this jade pendant is my father's love token for my mother's concubine, I will give it to you, do you know my heart?" ”
Mu Ningxuan didn't expect the six princes to be so straightforward today.
"Did the sixth brother see my eldest brother getting married today, so he was moved?" Mu Ningxuan smiled.
The sixth prince shook his head, looked at Mu Ningxuan's face seriously, and said, "No, I invited myself to Zizhou to suppress bandits this time, just to make meritorious service and ask for rewards." ”
Mu Ningxuan knew that this time not only did her eldest brother become an official and promoted to a knight, but the sixth prince was also named King Heng by the official family because of the matter of the Zizhou bandits.
"By the way, I haven't wished the sixth brother the joy of becoming the king of Heng, my sister is here to congratulate the sixth brother with tea instead of wine." Mu Ningxuan poured two cups of tea, one was handed to the six princes, and the other cup was taken by herself.
The sixth prince drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "I actually earned this Hengwang for Sister Xuan." ”
"For me?" Mu Ningxuan's eyes widened, and she said in her heart: Obviously, you want to compete for the position of prince, but you actually said that it was for her.
"If Sister Xuan can't even be a princess if she marries me, then it's really wronged, I don't want to wronged Sister Xuan." The sixth prince said affectionately.
"Sixth brother, this..."Faced with the sudden marriage discussion of the six princes, Mu Ningxuan wanted to find a hole to get into.
The sixth prince saw Mu Ningxuan's face full of embarrassment, so he said: "Since ancient times, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, Sister Xuan does not have to be ashamed. ”
Mu Ningxuan muttered: "My third sister's wedding is also approaching, I want to help my third sister see if there is anything to pay attention to in the wedding, so I won't stay here for a long time, the sixth brother please take care of yourself." With that, Mu Ningxuan left the study directly without waiting for the sixth prince to speak.
He left his back to the six princes, King Heng~
***
On the second day, in the main hall, the new sister-in-law Qin gave gifts and tea to Mu Hou Ye and Princess Gaorou according to the rules, and Mu Ningxuan saw the new sister-in-law Qin again.
Thinking of the Qin family crying because of the death of the eldest brother and the death of the elder brother in the previous life, and finally throwing herself into the well, Mu Ningxuan was distressed and respected this sister-in-law very much.
Qin's dignified and beautiful, eyebrows like green smoke, fresh and elegant, a golden step on his head, a red brocade and gold thread flower shirt, a pleated skirt below, his face is like a peach and plum, and he looks like a beautiful lady.
Qin Shi first brought a cup of tea to Muhou Ye, and said respectfully, "Father, please drink tea." ”
Mu Hou Ye took the tea bowl and took a sip, and then handed Qin a red envelope.
The Qin family brought another cup of tea to Princess Gao Rou, and still said respectfully: "Mother, please drink tea." ”
Princess Gao Rou took the tea bowl and took a sip, handed Qin a red envelope, and took off the two white jade bracelets on her left and right hands and gave them to Qin.
After the tea, the eldest brother stood beside the new sister-in-law Qin, waiting for the newlywed training of Muhou Ye and Princess Gao Rou.
Mu Hou Ye said very bluntly: "I hope that you two young couples, respect and love each other, and open up the branches and leaves of our Pingchang Hou Mansion as soon as possible." ”
After Muhou Ye finished speaking, Princess Gao Rou continued: "I hope you will raise your eyebrows and keep your heads open." ”
Then, Princess Gao Rou began to introduce the brothers and sisters of the Mu family to the Qin family one by one.
"This is your second sister, but the family doesn't call her that, they generally call her Sister Xuan or Ning Xuan."
When Mu Ningxuan heard her name, she stood up and blessed her new sister-in-law Qin, who was busy returning the gift and gave Mu Ningxuan a purse and a beaded hairpin embedded with pearls.
"This is the third sister Mu Ningjia." Princess Gao Rou continued.
The third sister also blessed the new sister-in-law Qin.
The Qin family returned the gift and also gave Mu Ningjia the same purse as Mu Ningxuan and a beaded hairpin embedded with pearls.
The Qin family is very thoughtful in terms of etiquette, and he is also generous.
