Wu Wangfu is a good destination, and in this life, I still have to let my third sister marry her, Mu Ningxuan thought so.

After a while, Guo Xiaoniang changed her clothes and came back with Muhou Ye with a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened just now.

And Mu Houye's expression was cold when he looked at Mu Ningxuan.

Guo Xiaoniang did not sit next to Mu Ningxuan this time, but talked with Mu Hou Ye to the family of the third uncle and three aunts who had just come over.

As she spoke, Guo Xiaoniang found that her three children hadn't come over yet, so she turned her face and whispered a few words to Shen's mother behind her.

"Sister Meng, Sister Yin, Brother Jie, why haven't the three of them come yet?"

Although the voice was small, Mu Ningxuan could hear it

Shen's mother said with a sad face: "I just sent someone to ask, saying that my brothers and sisters are changing their clothes, and they will be there in a while." ”

"At this time, they don't understand the rules, hurry up and urge again, don't let Hou Ye know."

"Yes."

After a while, Shen's mother came back in a hurry and shook her head gently at Guo Xiaoniang.

Guo Xiaoniang had no choice but to say to Mu Hou Ye beside her: "Hou Ye, there is something wrong with the concubine here, go and come back." ”

Mu Hou Ye nodded.

There was still a cup of tea before the banquet began, and Mu Ningxuan looked around, except for the table she was sitting on, the guests at the other two tables had already arrived.

After greeting the two tables of guests, Mu Hou Ye walked over to Mu Ningxuan's side.

"Father." Mu Ningxuan and Mu Ningjia stood up together.

Mu Hou Ye called Mu Ningxuan aside and said coldly: "Xuan'er, why are you so arrogant now? ”

"Father, daughter doesn't understand." Mu Ningxuan said calmly.

Mu Hou Ye suddenly became angry, and said angrily in a suppressed voice: "You have a very bad attitude towards Guo Xiaoniang by virtue of your status as the county lord, and you just let people splash water on Guo Xiaoniang, do you admit it?" ”

"The father blames his daughter." Mu Ningxuan said calmly.

Mu Hou Ye was stunned: "Fault you?" Tell me what's wrong with you. ”

"First, my daughter said at the gate of the mansion today that Guo Xiaoniang was because she really messed up her dignity, and if she was heard by the people around her, she would think that our Pingchang Hou Mansion had no rules.

Second, her daughter had seen how the Queen Mother dealt with the fainting concubines in the palace, so just now Guo Xiaoniang fainted, and her daughter used the method used by the Queen Mother before, and her daughter didn't think there was anything wrong! Mu Ningxuan opened her eyes wide, looking at Mu Hou Ye innocently.

Mu Hou Ye sighed and said, "That's it, you finally came out of the palace, and today is also to catch you up, the previous matter is over, you don't have to embarrass Guo Xiaoniang anymore." ”

Mu Ningxuan nodded: "Xuan'er knows." ”

***

"County lord, the tea is cold, the slave maid will change it for you."

Mu Ningxuan nodded, and as soon as she took a sip of the hot tea brought by Xiaofu, she saw her father walking in with Master Guo and the family members of the Guo family.

Mu Ningxuan's eyes looked coldly at Guo Zhenghuai and the people of the Guo family.

Guo Xiaoniang, who was very concerned about Mu Ningxuan, naturally followed Mu Ningxuan's gaze and saw Guo Zhenghuai, and then looked back at Mu Ningxuan's face, although the expression on Mu Ningxuan's face did not change, Guo Xiaoniang, as a person who came over, instantly understood.

Mu Ningxuan is now fourteen years old, and she will be fifteen years old as soon as she is over. I have been accompanying the Queen Mother in the deep palace all these years, and I guess I have never seen a foreign man, and now I see Guo Zhenghuai, a son and brother of the same age, it must be Sichun.

Guo Xiaoniang was secretly happy, Mu Ningxuan was the second son of her mother's family, so this Mu Ningxuan was easy to handle.

"County Lord." Guo Xiaoniang walked up to Mu Ningxuan's side, with a hypocritical smirk on her face.

Mu Ningxuan saw three people standing behind Guo Xiaoniang, and knew that Guo Xiaoniang was here to introduce her three children, so she didn't stand up.

Guo Xiaoniang knew her identity, and she was not annoyed in person, she still smiled and said: "County Lord, this is your fourth sister Mu Ningmeng, this is your fifth sister Mu Ningyin, and the one on the edge is your sixth brother Mu Yujie." They were overjoyed to know that you were back. ”

After speaking, Guo Xiaoniang glanced at three times with her eyes.

The fourth sister, fifth sister, and sixth brother all showed favor to Mu Ningxuan and said: Sister Xuan is good. ”

Mu Ningxuan said lightly: "Younger brothers and sisters are fine." ”

Guo Xiaoniang smiled and let the three of them sit down, and took Mu Ningxuan and Mu Hou Ye to start getting to know their relatives at home.

Like the previous life, Mu Ningxuan got to know each other one by one, and after seeing the ceremony, she finally returned to her seat.

Mu Ningmeng and Mu Ningyin came to Mu Ningxuan's side together: "Sister Xuan, you are so fragrant, what kind of incense pill do you use?" ”

The daughters of the boudoir are interested in nothing more than which family's clothes are good-looking, whose fragrance smells good, and whose rouge and gouache are good on their faces.

Mu Ningmeng was thirteen years old, and Mu Ningyin was eleven years old, and the two of them loved beauty very much.

Mu Ningxuan directly ignored the two of them~

At the banquet, Guo Zhenghuai, like in his previous life, only sat upright, occasionally ate two mouthfuls of food, and kept looking at them.

Mu Ningxuan knew that Guo Zhenghuai was looking at the third sister.

After three rounds of wine, the banquet was almost over, Mu Ningxuan was a little tired, so she retired first.

Guo Xiaoniang diligently asked Shen's mother beside her to lead the way and took Mu Ningxuan back to the room to rest.

In this life, the residence that Guo Xiaoniang arranged for Mu Ningxuan is still Liu Jutang.

Shen's mother told Mu Ningxuan that this Liujutang was the best house in Mu Mansion except for Mu Houye's residence.

Knowing that Mu Ningxuan was back, Guo Xiaoniang immediately asked someone to hurry up and clean up Liu Jutang.

All the things in Liu Jutang are selected and all are new, if Mu Ningxuan is not satisfied with anything or is not used to it, just bring it up.

Mu Ningxuan didn't say anything about Guo Xiaoniang's arrangement, she neither liked nor said she didn't like it, she didn't want to sing with Guo Xiaoniang at all in this life.

Mu Ningxuan raised her hand, and Xiaofu stuffed a big red envelope to Shen's mother in understanding.

The red envelope has some weight, and Shen's mother smiled and thanked Mu Ningxuan one after another, and then respectfully withdrew from Liu Jutang.

The next day, Mu Ningxuan woke up early.

"County Lord, you're awake." A female envoy with a raw face stood in front of Mu Ningxuan.

Mu Ningxuan knew that there would be such a thing, so she sat up slowly and asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”

Chunyan's face was terrified, and she immediately knelt down and said, "The slave maid is called Chunyan, and Guo Xiaoniang called her to serve the county lord." ”

Mu Ningxuan said coldly: "Chunyan, you go and call Xiaofu in." ”

"Yes." Chunyan got up and went out.

After a while, Xiaofu walked in with a basin of hot water.

"County Lord, are you okay, the subordinates of this Mu Mansion are also out of order, and they ran to you while the slaves and maids went out to carry water." Xiao Fu is angry.

Mu Ningxuan advised: "Xiaofu, my close matter, only you, Qiu Mo and Yutang are served, and more than a dozen palace people given by the official family will arrange some idle jobs in the courtyard, as for the people arranged by Guo Xiaoniang, you let them all stand in the garden and wait, I have something to ask them later." ”

"Yes, the slave knows."

Xiaofu waited for Mu Ningxuan to finish dressing and freshening up.

Liu Jutang's small kitchen sent hot porridge and some steamed buns, millet cakes and other breakfasts, but Mu Ningxuan didn't have much appetite and didn't use much.

In the courtyard of Liujutang, there was a row of people standing, all of whom were arranged by Guo Xiaoniang in Liujutang.

Mu Ningxuan changed her clothes and walked out of the inner room, and the little maid moved a high-backed armchair carved of mahogany and put it in front of Mu Ningxuan, and moved a stone table to put next to the chair.

Yutang helped Mu Ningxuan to sit down slowly, Qiu Mo took a cup of tea and put it on the stone table, and then stood side by side with Xiaofu behind Mu Ningxuan.

Aunt Su turned around and lowered her head and said to Mu Ningxuan: "County Lord, all the people arranged by Guo Xiaoniang in Liujutang are here. There are six people in total, two second-class maids, two third-class maids, and two small maids. ”

The maids kowtowed to Mu Ningxuan together and asked for a salute, these two little maids did not muddy the waters in Liujutang, but just in case, Mu Ningxuan was not prepared to leave them.

Mu Ningxuan said to them expressionlessly: "This county lord only uses his own people, before this county lord comes, you will keep Liu Jutang in good order, which is very good." Here's some bounty, so take it and disperse. Mu Ningxuan beckoned, and Xiaofu took out a plate, and there were many silver ingots on the plate.

Looking at a plate full of silver ingots full of white flowers, the maids were all red and overjoyed.

Originally, they didn't want to listen to Guo Xiaoniang, so they sped on Mu Ningxuan in private or blocked Mu Ningxuan, but now Mu Ningxuan directly didn't want them, which was a good thing for them.

Not long after disposing of Guo Xiaoniang's subordinates arranged in Liujutang, Steward Cao, who was beside Mu Houye, came over to pass the word and asked Mu Ningxuan to come over.

***

Den.

"Xuan'er visits her father." As soon as Mu Ningxuan entered the study, she knelt down in front of Mu Houye.

Mu Hou Ye helped Mu Ningxuan up: "Xuan'er, get up, you have suffered all these years." ”

Mu Ningxuan smiled slightly: "My daughter is not bitter, has my father been healthy all these years?" ”

"It's all good, it's all good." Mu Hou Ye nodded and said.

Mu Ningxuan said in a low voice: "Father, my daughter thought that she would always stay in the palace, and she would never see her father in her life." ”

When Mu Hou Ye heard this, he thought that she had experienced so much when she was only fourteen years old, and felt a little guilty in her heart, and said in a kind tone: "Good boy, even if the Queen Mother and her old man did not die this time, and the official family did not let you come back, my father would come to the official family to ask you back." ”

Mu Ningxuan said softly: "Father can be so kind to Xuan'er, Xuan'er is very grateful in her heart. It is really unfilial to not be able to be by my father's side all these years. ”

Mu Ningxuan didn't have the time and heart to make a fox fur for Mu Hou Ye in this life, and she didn't plan to ask about the eldest brother, Mu Ningxuan knew that the eldest brother would come back in two days, so there was no need to ask.

Mu Hou Ye suddenly said solemnly: "Xuan'er, you just came back, I don't know the situation at home, and now Guo Xiaoniang is taking care of the family."

Although she is a concubine, in her father's heart, Guo Xiaoniang is virtuous and virtuous for a long time, just because your grandmother made her father swear in the ancestral hall that she would never marry Guo Xiaoniang as a wife, so your mother has been dead for so long, and her father has not corrected her.

Over the years, Guo Xiaoniang has worked hard to take care of the entire Mu family, and you have more respect for her. ”

Mu Ningxuan's face was slightly cold and said: "Father, don't worry, as long as Guo Xiaoniang abides by her duty, Xuan'er will not embarrass her." ”

Seeing that Mu Ningxuan's face changed, Mu Hou Ye didn't say anything more, although he said to Mu Ningxuan like this that he had always spoiled Guo Xiaoniang, but from the bottom of his heart, he didn't quite approve of Guo Xiaoniang's concubine style, after all, Guo Xiaoniang's biological mother was just a concubine~

As soon as he returned to the door of Liu Jutang, Yutang came over to report that Aunt Su had already been waiting for Mu Ningxuan in Mingtang.

"County lord, the slave wants to take you to familiarize yourself with the shops in Beijing as soon as possible, now there is not much incense left in the shops in Beijing, and the incense in the shops outside Beijing can last for another three months." Aunt Su said worriedly.

Mu Ningxuan pretended to be curious and asked, "Aunt Su, what is the name of the shop in Beijing?" ”

Aunt Su replied, "Treasure incense." ”

Mu Ningxuan didn't show surprise and said, "Aunt Su, if it's okay today, let's go now." ”

Aunt Su immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, county master, the slave and maid will send someone to prepare the carriage." ”

Mu Ningxuan said: "By the way, Aunt Su, let Xiaofu send someone to my father's side to say that I want to go out for a walk and not come back for dinner at noon." ”

"Yes."

Mu Ningxuan knew that she was going to see her eldest brother (little prince) in a while, and she couldn't help but be a little excited.

In order to save time, Mu Ningxuan asked the Hou Mansion to open the side door on the west side.

After about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped at the door of the "Treasure Incense" shop.

Xiaofu carefully helped Mu Ningxuan out of the car, Mu Ningxuan looked up to see the plaque of the shop, and the three big words "Treasure Fragrance" on the plaque were particularly eye-catching.

Aunt Su led Mu Ningxuan into the shop.

"I'm sorry, today's incense is sold out, the shop has closed, let's come early tomorrow." The shopkeeper looked at the account book in his hand and didn't even lift his head.

Aunt Su cleared her throat and said in a loud voice: "You are the shopkeeper Sun?" ”

Shopkeeper Sun finally raised his head, looked at Aunt Su suspiciously, and wondered if he was here to find fault.

Over the years of operating "Treasure Incense", there are no longer a few people who find fault with the shopkeeper Sun, or the wives of the dignitaries and nobles did not buy the incense they wanted, and deliberately sent the small servants in the house to make trouble; Either the peers are red and secretly stumble.

However, "Zhenpinxiang" is not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke, usually encounter this kind of thing, and within a day, those who make trouble will be found out in public and sent directly to prison, and the sentence is extremely heavy.

Gradually, the whole capital knows that the background of "Zhenpinxiang" is hard and cannot be easily provoked.

Seeing that Aunt Su was a little unkind, Shopkeeper Sun responded lightly: "Yes, I am Shopkeeper Sun." ”

Shopkeeper Sun didn't know Aunt Su, until Aunt Su took out a special waist card, Shopkeeper Sun was stunned for a moment, and immediately took them into the inner hall, and told the guys to watch outside the inner hall, don't rush to close the shop first.

Aunt Su helped Mu Ningxuan sit down in the middle of the inner hall, and then stood on both sides with Xiaofu.
