Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, crackling under the eaves, and a faint smoke screen filled the air. Misty and rainy, Mu Zhixi stood under the eaves of the porch like this, she liked the rain when she smiled, and her mother was still there at that time.

As soon as the rain passes, the flowers and trees are renewed, and even the air is much fresher, and she can also go boating on the lake in the house, and her mother will cook her favorite meals and coax her to get off the boat, and the days are really happy at that time.

Later, she began to hate such rainy nights, because her mother had an accident because the road was slippery on a rainy day, in fact, there was nothing wrong with a rainy day, it was people's hearts that were wrong.

In this world, women don't marry well, and men can't be trusted, even if this life is ruined, they can only live in a mess. There are a few women who can have a good end when they go home, and their mother's family is powerful or powerful, or their family is entangled, but they can be comfortable.

Otherwise, where can the mother's family accommodate a woman who is separated from her, but she is sold again, and it is not as good as a family.

Mu Ningyuan didn't know when he stood behind her and tied a cloak to help her tie it, "Why, I'm still thinking about the afternoon, since the eighth prince has intervened, he will definitely seek justice for us, and grandmother doesn't need to worry too much." ”

The secluded bluestone slab path winds its way and seems to have no end. A quiet bamboo forest beside the trail rustles in the wind.

"Brother, how much do you say that the eighth prince is sincere about this marriage? My mother's kindness and my marriage are just respectful of each other, but what I want more is to raise my eyebrows. You say, I'm too greedy. But I am just unwilling, the men I marry are the orders of my parents, the words of the matchmaker. I originally had the luxury of hoping that it would be nice if I could see him before marriage, think what I thought, and then promise to marry him. ”

Mu Zhixi slowly said the thoughts that had been pent up in his heart for a long time, the eighth prince has a noble status, and how many officials and nobles in the capital would rather be concubines than marry into the prince's mansion. When she came here, she was still so picky, but it didn't seem to be on the stage.

The girl's impatient age, hazy mentality, before she has time to unfold, she hurriedly closes it away, waiting for the day of marriage, this kind of future life can not be expected, can not look forward to, in the face of strict rules, follow the rules, help the prince to take concubines, spread the branches, and fulfill the princess's duty.

Mu Ning looked at the rain curtain from afar, stretched out his hand, the rain fell, the nest of the palm was full, and the rain stayed along the arm, "The water is full, the days of the palace, there are many women, and the water is in dire straits, if you want to be alone, then don't be tempted, at least protect yourself from harm before you can't see the thoughts of the eighth prince." ”

The more Mu Ningyuan came into contact with the eighth master, the more he felt that his sister was right this time, but he was worried about his sister's state, and Mu was stunned to dislike the eighth master, so he asked her to keep her heart and not to love easily, so that even if there are other women in the Eighth Prince's Mansion in the future, if my sister gives birth to a son-in-law, there will be security, and if you don't love, there will be no harm.

As an older brother, he seems a little incompetent, and he vows to go to high school to protect his sister's future and become a favorable support for his mother's family.

The old woman of the Mu family got out of the carriage, even though the maids were careful again and again, but the rain was too heavy, and the body was still a lot wet, everyone beckoned to go into the house to clean up, the coachman drove the carriage to the backyard, and the work in the wine inn was busy.

The hot water, meals, and tea for bathing are all available, and they come up in one go, which makes the old woman of the Mu family look a lot better, but when she thinks of the dowry left by Mu Zhixi's mother, she suddenly feels a pain in her heart, it is a lot of silver taels, and she returns it like this, how can she be in love, no, she has to think about it carefully, how to deal with the grandmother sent by the queen's mother.

After bathing, he ate and drank to his heart's content, lazily lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

The proprietress of the inn took a day's accounts, such a heavy rainy weather, there would have been a lot of people staying overnight, because there are a lot of displaced people these days, floods in the south, traffic is basically interrupted, and the trade in the north is not as much as that in the south, so there are not enough guests.

Fortunately, the eighth prince settled such a large family, up and down to live, half of the rooms in the inn are full, and the income will not affect much, she made a rough calculation, half a month's accommodation and food expenses, seeing that it was not early, the work ran down from the second floor, and informed that the guests upstairs were asleep.

These fees can only be collected tomorrow. Fortunately, they are all rich and noble, unlike those who will be in debt, the proprietress supports her lazy waist, lets the guy go to the door, closes the store, and turns off the lights to sleep.

The breeze of the summer night is very refreshing on people, and the eighth master stood on the pavilion and looked out, "Ding Yi, has there been any movement in the Eagle King's Mansion recently?" ”

"Lord Wang, the prince of the Eagle King's Mansion is an active one, the word has been passed from the military aircraft battalion, he has gained a firm foothold, and he may take deeper roots in the next step."

"Li Dashan came over at noon, what General Shangguan meant, you can close the net, this wave of spies in the north won't be able to jump for a few days, Princess Mu Qing is missing, the border between the north and Mexico has begun to garrison troops, we just need to keep an eye on that Ah Fu, we can control the eyes of the north country on our side."

The eighth master stood with his hands in his hands, and the eagle falcon's eyes were unfathomable, "Settle Shangguan Bai and the child well, don't let Ah Fu take advantage of it, their mother and son may be the last weight for us to defeat Atobu." In addition, keep an eye on Mo Zhuohan, and once you find that he is abnormal, you will correct the Fa on the spot. ”

"Mo Zhuohan is ambitious, but his foundation is still shallow, if he wants to control the military power in the Eagle King's Mansion, it is a bit wishful thinking." 678

"This king can't be completely assured of the Eagle King, after all, the Queen Mother and the Sixth Prince had the actual action of transgressing the rules back then, seeking the dynasty and the throne, from generation to generation, there are always those who do not give up, if it is just one who wants to revitalize the Eagle King's Mansion, this king is willing to carry it."

Ding Yi Ding Er followed the eighth prince to fight on the battlefield, and was loyal to the prince, "Lord Wang, everything you explained has been done, the people of the Mu family have lived in the inn, and the meals and guest rooms are the best." ”

The eighth prince smiled playfully, there is a good show to watch tomorrow, but he won't join in the fun, naturally someone will run errands for him: "Ding Yi, in a while, I will send the tea purchase rights of the Beijing government this year and the capital in the palace to Mu Ningjun, he naturally knows what to do?" ”

Peaches hang like lanterns on the branches, willows hang down the water, and after a night of wind and rain, the sky is blue and sparkling.

The eighth master stood on the bow of the boat, Mu Zhixi knelt on the side, the sound of the piano in his hand poured out, and a small bridge and flowing water were just like the scenery in front of him, which made people feel refreshed.

Recently, there have been too many things in the eighth master, and there are not many people who can be as leisurely as today. Mu Zhixi was taken here by the eighth master early in the morning to enjoy the flowers and scenery.

"Are you feeling better? My aunt's grave has been cleaned, and in two days' time, we will go to the pillar of incense and inform my aunt of our wedding date. ”

"Well, thank you for helping us so much, otherwise, when Grandmother came this time, our brothers and sisters would really be helpless, and we would only be slaughtered."

Yes, a filial piety word can make their brothers and sisters never turn over, not to mention, Mu Ningyuan's career, the grandmother of the Mu family, just took control of their brothers and sisters, so they would bully so unscrupulously, but he couldn't see others bullying Mu Zhixi.

"That grandmother of yours, at this time, I'm afraid that the eyebrows will be burned, and the things that add to the blockage are better than her." After speaking, I put my eyes back on enjoying the scenery, the beauty is in my arms, it is really enough for life.

In the inn, the grandmother of the Mu family got up early in the morning, refreshed, had breakfast, and pondered how to deal with Mu Ningyuan's brothers and sisters and let them obey.

The proprietress came to see her with the account book, and the grandmother of the Mu family, who also knew the rules, asked her to sit down and eat a cup of tea.

The proprietress smiled like a warm sun, as if she saw a pile of silver: "Old lady, your old man is blessed, and he will soon be the grandmother of the eighth prince, the concubine, the humble body, where can I sit with you, the concubine is to talk about the accounts, you see, this is half a month, all according to the specifications of the upper room." ”

The accounts were spread out, and the grandmother of the Mu family glanced at it slightly and nodded, meaning that she knew.

The proprietress saw that the old lady had no reaction, and she was anxious, so she could only ask for it by name: "What the concubine means, do you settle the account once a month, or half a month, we are a small business, and we can't afford so many of you to eat, drink and take credit." ”

said it mildly, and this one was a little confused: "The old body was arranged by the eighth prince to live in." ”

"Yes, that's right, but the eighth prince also explained, your old man is an elder, and he said that he didn't let the younger generation worry about it, the accounts are to be borne by himself, the eighth prince asked the concubine to ask the old lady directly to get the money, the Mu family is considered a big family, how can they care about these small money."

The grandmother of the Mu family was anxious at this time, and called for the little maid to call Mu Ningyuan.

Without waiting for the little guy to go out, he was stopped by Mu Ningjun outside the door, one after the other went upstairs, Mu Ningjun is the eldest grandson of the Mu family, it is not easy to do business in the capital these years, tossing and turning, but barely making ends meet.

Some time ago, the eighth prince summoned him, made his intentions clear, and gave such a large deal, besides, there is the eighth prince in the capital to take care of him, and he will be even more smooth sailing when he does things in the future, such a thigh is not hugged, that is a fool.

He entered the house and clasped his fists with both hands to salute: "The junior Ning Jun has seen his sister-in-law." "The person married by the grandmother of the Mu family is the same generation as Mu Ningjun, and his arrival really puzzled the old lady.

With a smile on his face, the eldest grandson of this patriarch is in the capital, which is equivalent to the authority of the patriarch, so naturally he can't slack off, "It's Ning Jun, sit down, is there something wrong?" ”

"Sister-in-law, Ning Jun heard that you are back, and Zhixi's marriage is approaching, so he came over to take a look, and when he met the little girl downstairs, he wanted to invite Ning Yuan to come over, which is not appropriate." His tone was neither afraid nor arrogant, but his eyes showed a hint of majesty and disgust, obviously feeling that her approach was not on the table, and because the boss lady had not left, she couldn't say it in person.
