Mu Bi in the palace was slightly relieved, but Shen Taijun, who finally welcomed the return of his only son and eldest grandson, was sad between his eyebrows, looking at Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan, who had obviously lost a lot of weight in front of him, and then thinking of his granddaughter in the palace, Shen Taijun's face was even older, which made Mu Qi enter the door, and before he knelt down to ask for guilt, he was taken aback, and his voice changed: "How did my mother become like this?" ”

Shen Taijun's appearance is not very good, the outstanding appearance of the grandchildren of the Mu family is mostly passed on from Mu Xun, such as Mu Biwei, but it is passed on to the Min family, but Shen Taijun was born in a famous family, and his bearing has always been graceful and elegant, although Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his expression remained calm, if it were not for the fact that the Wang family was born since he was a child, he had an amazing talent and no teacher, and other idlers, such as the former Shang Shuling's girl Min Shi, was also inferior, and even her only granddaughter Mu Biwei only learned a similar shape to be shocked but not chaotic.

Therefore, although Shen Taijun is old, his face is not old, but this time it has only been two years since Mu Qi last returned to Yedu to report on his work and provincial relatives, but Shen Taijun seems to be more than ten years old, and the long hair that has been carefully maintained for many years will be more than half white, and it looks like he is drooping and old, and his eyes have always been gentle but godly, this will also look dull, hearing the horror in Mu Qi's voice, Shen Taijun sighed, and pointed to the couch under him with some difficulty:" You must be tired when you come back, so you don't have to salute, just sit down before you talk! ”

Xu hurriedly said: "The chef prepared sweet soup early, and the daughter-in-law went to serve it with her husband and Da Langjun." ”

"No need!" Mu Qi waved his hand, and said with a heavy heart, "After the dispersal of the dynasty, His Majesty left me to talk to Da Lang, and he has already given some soup...... Mother, it's all me and Da Lang who are not good, so that my mother is ashamed and worried, so that she is so haggard! ”

Saying that, Mu Qi didn't care about Shen Taijun's obstruction, he just knelt down and kowtowed, Mu Bichuan behind him originally looked at Xu coldly, and then he also knelt down and cried: "It's the grandson who is useless, he can't protect his father, and his grandmother is worried!" ”

"The so-called victory and defeat is a common thing in the soldiers, the ancestors of the herdsman family have guarded the three levels for four generations, these things know more than I know a woman's family, now that the matter has passed, don't rest assured, you are still young, and there will definitely be achievements in the future." Shen Taijun has a gentle and benevolent temperament, especially when he is kneeling in front of his only son and eldest grandson, even if he is still worried and sad about his granddaughter in the palace, he smiled sincerely, comforted kindly, and personally stepped forward to help them up.

Mu Qi knelt down and sat down, habitually wanted to ask Shen Taijun's body, and saw that her gray hair couldn't say anything to her mouth, and the hall was relatively sad, outside Mu Bicheng personally brought sweet soup in, and courteously saluted Shen Taijun first, and Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan each had one, and his eyes flashed and said: "Father and eldest brother work hard, and use some hot soup first, and mother has arranged a family banquet later." ”

His words were as if Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan were just ordinary relatives returning to Yedu Province, without mentioning the changes in the past month or so, but Mu Qi saw this young son, and couldn't help but think of the only daughter under his knees, Mu Biwei was delicate and weak, she was good at being coquettish, since she was a child, every time Mu Qi returned, this sweet soup and tea were all taken by Mu Biwei, and Mu Qi was greatly relieved by a "Daddy" shout, and now he and his eldest son went home safely, but this only daughter is afraid that it will be difficult to see again.

Seeing that his eyes fell on Mu Bicheng but gradually dimmed, Shen Taijun and Xu both knew what he meant, Xu's face was pale, and he was about to step forward to explain, Shen Taijun had already stopped her with a look, coughed lightly, and said: "Erniang's entry into the palace is the master I did, I am useless, I can't protect my children and grandchildren, I can only wronged my granddaughter......"

"What did Mother say? The son and the eldest man have tired their mother to work so far, and they are already unfilial, Erniang...... Where can I blame my mother for this? It's her life. "Mu Xun died early, Mu Qi was raised by his widowed mother, and he respected Shen Taijun very much, and now seeing that Shen Taijun had a lot of self-blame in his words, he quickly stabilized his mind and didn't think much about Mu Biwei, and comforted him.

On the side, Mu Bichuan looked at Xu deeply, but drank the sweet soup silently without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, Shen Taijun also knew that her eldest grandson hated the Xu family, she had the heart to explain, but although she chose the former among the only son, the eldest grandson and the only granddaughter, she felt deep guilt about the latter, plus she was old and in poor spirits, and after thinking about this explanation, she couldn't think of anything for Mu Bichuan to immediately let go of her heart, so she had to sigh, and said with Mu Qi's words: "Let's eat first." ”

This meal made everyone worry about it, Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan returned safely is of course a great joy, but this result is only obtained by offering a woman into the palace, the previous reputation of the Mu family is now a mess, and that's it, Mu Biwei lost the palace concubine and became a female official, this matter is the intervention of the left and right prime ministers, although Jiang Yao and Ji boast of fairness, there is no obvious intention to embarrass with the Mu father and son in today's court, but now Shang Ji is clearly a monarch who does not love political affairs, Political affairs are mostly entrusted to the hands of the two ministers, which left a bad impression on Jiang and Ji, the Qing capital Yin and the Qing capital Sima, both officials of Gyeonggi, and military generals to transfer documents, where is it so easy to do?

After lunch, Mu Bichuan excused himself from being tired and retired to Shen Taijun and Mu Qi, and the two naturally agreed.

When he returned to Yanxuan, where he lived, the little maid who stayed in the Xuan had already been instructed, cleaned up, smoked incense according to his previous habits, and prepared hot water. After Mu Bichuan finished bathing, he changed into his regular clothes, then waved away everyone and locked the door of the bedroom alone.

Waiting to hear that Xuanzhong and the people were far away, Mu Bichuan immediately jumped up from the bed, opened the back window despite the cold, and neatly climbed out of the window, covering the window as it was, seeing that there was no one on the left and right, he went straight to the back of Xuan.

Not far behind Yan Xuan, there is a door to the inner garden, and after a few empty houses, it is the Danyuan where Mu Biwei lived when she was at home, Mu Biwei had entered the palace three days ago in exchange for them to get Ji Shen's pardon, but her subordinates should still be among them - it's not that Xu's hands and feet are not fast enough, but Mu Bichuan knows that with Min's dowry Ah Shan before his death, Xu wants to do something to Danyuan and Yanxuan's subordinates, even if he has the right to be the master mother and sends Mu Biwei away.

Because of the return of Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan, the snow in all directions was swept away and sprinkled with salt, Mu Bichuan did not have to worry about leaving footprints, turned a bush, and saw that the gate of the Danyuan was closed. This is also expected, Shen Taijun is not unsympathetic to Mu Biwei, it is because of love that it is inevitable to feel guilty, and because of guilt, people in Danyuan always have to think of it, so every time she sees her, it is equivalent to torturing her - of course she doesn't want Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan to be tortured like this when they come back, I think she told Ah Shan not to appear in the main hall.

Mu Bichuan turned. The wall entered the Dan Garden, looked at the ice under the house, and knocked on the nearest door, the old servant who opened the door was taken aback when he saw him, and he hurriedly invited him into the door: "Aunt Shangu said that Da Lang will definitely come over today, and asked the old slave to pay attention to the movement at the door, why doesn't Da Lang wear more clothes?" ”

Mu Bichuan is still wearing only a thin single coat on his body, but he is equipped with martial arts, and now he has something in his heart, and he doesn't feel cold, and he has no time to greet the old servant at the moment, so he only said: "What about Ah Shan?" ”

"Aunt Shan'...... next door" The old servant was only halfway through his words, the untethered door was pushed open, and a plain-clothed woman walked in with a lacquer plate in her hand, and a blue and white ice porcelain bowl was placed on the lacquer plate. Zi is in a hurry, even if Lao Yan is asked to pay attention to the movement at the door, Da Lang is afraid that he will not have the time to wait for the door to open, and most of them will have to turn over. The wall entered, and drank the ginger soup before speaking! ”

Ah Shan is the same age as the Min family, and the Min family is the same age, now she is forty years old, Mu Biwei's appearance resembles her biological mother, she can be called into the palace by Ji Shen, and therefore let Ji Shen pardon his father and brother, it can be seen that the beauty, the deceased Min family, is naturally also a rare beauty, so Ah Shan's marriage is also very colorful, but she is different from the beauty of the Min family, her eyebrows are open, her eyes are bright, the whole person looks generous and capable, and there is even a little unruly color, she combs the reverse bun and inserts two round gold hairpins obliquely, wearing a seventy-percent new autumn fragrance color Rui brocade pattern wide-sleeved robe, with a ginger full-breasted skirt tied inside, an amber long curtain on his arm, pointing to the blue and white ice porcelain bowl, revealing an unquestionable look.

Mu Bichuan knew that she was powerful, and she didn't bargain, she raised her head and drank it all, raised her sleeve and wiped her mouth - although the Mu family was thin, in the end the family voice was placed there, such a vulgar and casual behavior was still a habit he left in Xuelan Pass, Ah Shan knew it in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and sighed: "Da Lang really suffered in Xuelan Pass!" ”

"It is common for men to serve the country in the army, not to mention that my Mu family has been stationed on the border for generations." Mu Bichuan put down the bowl, his face was ugly, "Losing the customs and losing the land is something that I committed with my father, how did it involve Wei Niang?" The grandmother in Fang Caitang said that she was the master, which I believe that without the permission of my grandmother, it is impossible for the Xu family to send Wei Niang into the palace alone, but I don't believe that this matter was also raised by my grandmother! ”

He looked up at Ah Shan: "You are the dowry of our brother and sister's biological mother, and Wei Niang trusts you the most, what is going on?" ”
