Chapter 104: Drinking
She always felt that what had happened around her recently was too strange, although it didn't seem to have anything to do with her, but it could always involve the people around her.
"By the way, Mother has already started preparing for you, what do you have to tell your mother?" Shen Mei smiled softly.
"Mother just looks at the preparation, you also know that I have never asked for anything, as long as my mother prepares, I like the rumors."
"That's not good, you'll be a big girl after the feast, but you're going to get married." Speaking of getting married, the smile on Shen Mei's face also faded a little.
If the rumor is married to someone else, it must be a good thing for everyone to be happy, but the one who has a marriage contract with the rumor is Xie Chongning.
This Xie Chongning is Dali Siqing is nothing, mainly the second room, and the third room was arrested by Xie Chongning one after another and executed one after another. I am afraid that the hatred for them in this child's heart is already deep, and she is afraid that the life after Yu'er marries Xie Chongning will not be easy.
"Hey." The more Shen Mei thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
"Why did the mother sigh?" Mu Yu saw the smile on Shen Mei's face disappear, "Mother is worried about my marriage?" ”
"Isn't it? In fact, after this marriage, I also think that Xie Chongning's child is not bad, although he is a little cold, but at least he cares about you, but after Mu Liangxuan's incident, I always feel that this child still has hatred for our Hou Mansion. ”
Mu Yu pursed his lips, "Isn't it normal to have hatred, how Mu Liangxuan bullied him before, if I were Xie Chongning, I wouldn't forgive,"
Shen Mei sighed, "That's what I said, but no matter what, this Mu Liangxuan is also from the Hou Mansion, so I'm afraid that he will be angry with you." ”
"No, it won't." Mu Yu shook his head, "Xie Chongning is a person with clear grievances, he hates Mu Liangxuan, but he doesn't hate me, if he really hates me, why would he ask for marriage in the emperor?" Could it be that he married me specifically in order to take revenge on me? ”
Shen Mei nodded with sorrow, ordinary people would not do this, but she was afraid that the rumors would not be happy.
"Well, mother, don't worry! I'm fine, it's a big deal! "She is a modern person, and she is not afraid of divorce.
"And leave?" Shen Mei was even more worried, "Rumor, how can you think about divorce, this marriage is a lifelong thing." ”
After speaking, Shen Mei regretted it a little, and changed his words, "But if you are unhappy, you will be reconciled, and the Luanping Marquis Mansion will always be your home." ”
"Mother is so nice." Mu Yu smiled and threw herself into Shen Mei's arms, "Mother, then I will leave the matter of the banquet to you." ”
Shen Mei smiled helplessly, "Okay, mother will make the decision for you, and she will definitely hold a perfect banquet for you." ”
"Mother, did Grandmother and Lady Ruyang bother you today?" The day of Mu Liangxuan's execution was approaching, and Grandmother and Mrs. Ruyang were definitely not going to give up, and the two of them seemed to be a little too quiet lately.
Shen Mei shook his head, "Mrs. Ruyang has already been looked at, your father said that at this juncture, you can't let her come out and make trouble, and Mu Liangxuan has indeed committed the crime of killing her head." ”
Mu Yu nodded.
"Your father said that at this time, the emperor's body has not fully recovered, Xie Chongning, who is in charge of Dali Temple, took this opportunity to execute Mu Liangxuan, and the Hou Mansion will not be implicated, even if the emperor is well in the future, he will not settle accounts after the autumn, so at this time, you can't let your grandmother and Mrs. Ruyang come out to stop it."
Father's analysis is indeed correct, but his father who is so calm makes Mu Yu feel even more strange in his heart. It's just that she can't tell her mother, because she doesn't want to add to her sorrow.
Mu Liangxuan was executed, the calm in the Luanping Marquis Mansion was a little abnormal, the old lady and Mrs. Ruyang were locked up, and no one would feel anything because of Mu Liangxuan's death.
Even on the day of Mu Yu and the banquet, the old lady was allowed to go out, but the people around the old lady were all replaced by Mu Heyun, and a group of people kept silent about Mu Liangxuan, no matter how the old lady asked, they would not answer.
Mu Yu was dressed in a baby pink neon dress, the hem of which was full of tassels, and as her steps kept shaking, she looked light and lively.
"You're so beautiful." Mu Yi waited at her sister's door, stunning and a little reluctant.
Mu Yu snorted at his mother, "It's not that my mother was born well, it's all thanks to my mother." ”
Shen Mei smiled and turned his head sideways, "You have a sweet mouth, okay, since you have cleaned up, you will follow your mother to the front hall to entertain the guests." ”
At the Mu Yu and Lu banquet, all the people invited were acquaintances, and because of Mu Liangxuan's incident, there was no big deal at the banquet, just like a small party, everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
When Xie Chongning walked in with the guards, the guards next to him took out the gift list, and as soon as the housekeeper opened it, he immediately walked to Mu Heyun's side with the gift list, and whispered in his ear, "Master, look at it, this is a gift list from Master Xie." ”
"What's there to see, you can put it aside first." Mu Heyun waved his hand impatiently, he didn't like Xie Chongning in the first place, but this housekeeper didn't open any pot.
"Master, this gift list ...... I'm afraid it's a dowry! ”
Mu Heyun frowned and snatched the gift list, the thickness of the gift list was extraordinary, and several of the treasures on the gift list were priceless things, which was really not a gift that ordinary people could give.
He took a deep breath and pretended to smile with the gift list, "I don't know what Lord Xie means?" ”
Xie Chongning replied lightly, "It's just a gift for the rumor." ”
"Lord Xie is too exalted to our rumors, and your gift is too exaggerated." Mu Heyun's face froze, this Xie Chongning is afraid that it is deliberate!
"I have a marriage contract with Yu'er, if I give the same gift as others, how can I show that Yu'er is special to me, a small gift, and I love my father-in-law and Yu'er with a smile."
This Xie Chongning knew that according to his temperament, he would definitely take the initiative to refuse, so he took this opportunity to swear in front of everyone that he and Yu'er had a marriage contract.
Mu Heyun's face was gloomy, he originally wanted to delay it again and again, but he was turned against by Xie Chongning, a kid.
"Sir?" Shen Mei walked to the hall with a pair of children, and saw Mu Heyun standing with Xie Chongning with an ugly face, she knew her husband's character.
Besides, even if Xie Chongning dislikes them in a thousand ways, Liu'er will marry him after all, rather than going-for-tat with Xie Chongning to make Ruo'er's life unhappy in the future, it is better to be polite to Xie Chongning.
"It turned out to be Lord Xie, thank you for participating in the banquet." Shen Mei smiled and pulled Mu Heyun's sleeve, playing a round in the middle.
"Mother-in-law is polite." Xie Chongning lowered his head and counted it as a salute.
Mu Yu and Xie Chongning glanced at each other, and hurriedly turned around, what did Xie Chongning mean today? Could it be that what he said before made him unhappy?
The original Xie Chongning's position was at the main table on the side, but after he admitted his marriage contract with Mu Yu in front of everyone, the Hou Mansion couldn't still leave this uncle aside.
Xie Chongning sat beside Mu Yu justifiably, although the two didn't say a word, except for Mu Heyun who didn't notice the atmosphere between the two, the others looked at each other a few times, and no one knew how to break the embarrassment.
Qin Xu picked up the folding fan on the table and touched Fang Xiao's waist, Fang Xiao received the signal and picked up the wine glass in front of him, "Thank you Master Hou for inviting us to participate in Miss Mu's banquet today, I wish Miss Mu more and more beautiful." ”
Mu Yu picked up the wine glass and responded, with Fang Xiao raising his head, the atmosphere eased a lot, Mu Heyun and Shen Mei only sat for a while, and then handed over the home field to these children, and Mu Yu was the protagonist, and walked down in a toast, and his footsteps were already a little vain.
When she returned to her position, she tripped over something under her feet and threw herself straight down.
Xie Chongning sat in his position, with his back to her, and at this time, she directly hugged Xie Chongning's back.
Fang Xiao winked at Qin Xu, the two looked at each other tacitly and smiled, and started their own topic again.
Mu Yu embarrassedly held Xie Chongning's back, quickly stood up and tidied up his clothes, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
Xie Chongning slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and chuckled, "You didn't mean it, it's really a lot." ”
Mu Yu pursed his lips in embarrassment and sat back in his place, "I've drunk a little too much, Master Xie, don't worry about it." ”
"Don't care?" Xie Chongning turned his head sideways and stared at Mu Yu's eyes full of inquiry, "When have I ever dealt with you?" ”
"Prime Minister Xie can support the boat in his belly, so naturally he won't worry about me." Mu Yu smiled slightly, and immediately followed Xie Chongning's words and praised back.
Xie Chongning looked at her eyes that didn't have much sincerity, chuckled, and turned his head to drink alone.
The soft snort was completely annihilated in the noisy crowd, Mu Yu lowered his eyes, and also picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"Don't drink it." Xie Chongning's big hand clasped on her pure white wine glass.
Mu Yu pouted his red lips dissatisfiedly and muttered, "You drink it yourself, why don't you let me drink it." ”
"You've drunk too much." Xie Chongning turned his head sideways, Mu Yu's cheeks were red at this time, his bright red lips were still moist, and although his eyes were clear, his eyes seemed to contain a layer of fog.
"How can I drink too much?" Mu Yu pouted, she was very conscious now, and she knew what she was doing.
Xie Chongning sighed helplessly, and put a piece of pork ribs in her bowl, "Eat vegetables!" ”
Mu Yu, who was confiscated from the wine glass, lowered his head to eat the vegetables, the ribs had just been eaten, and there was something new in the bowl, Mu Yu continued to eat, but the dish was like there was no end, and he couldn't finish it.
She bit off the last piece of meat on the ribs, and looked at Xie Chongning with a faint gaze, "Brother Xie, I really can't eat it." ”
Xie Chongning raised his eyebrows, "Don't call you an adult?" ”
Mu Yu touched his nose weakly, "I'm full, don't give me any more vegetables." ”
"Full?" Xie Chongning's eyebrows softened a little, "Are you still drinking?" ”
Mu Yu pouted, she believed that if she continued to have the courage to drink, Xie Chongning would still serve herself vegetables. "Don't drink anymore, don't drink anymore."
"Well, drink less." Xie Chongning got a satisfactory answer.
