Lijiang, Muwangfu.

A richly decorated carriage was driving into the alley behind King Mu's mansion without hurrying.

Sitting in the carriage was the biological mother of the little princess of Mu, Princess Mu Cai, who had just received a report from the little maid in the house, saying that the second lady of the Ping family had accompanied Mrs. Pingning Hou, saying that if she wanted to discuss with the princess and princess, she ordered the handlebar to drive back from the Qifu Temple outside the city.

Originally, today was the lecture of Master Huizhi of the Temple of Blessing, and Princess Mu made an appointment with Master Huizhi a few days ago, and asked him to give a lecture for herself today. Rushing back today, I couldn't listen to Master Huizhi's lecture, and Princess Mu's face was a little unhappy after all.

After arriving at the back door of King Mu's mansion, the maid got out of the carriage first, took the pestle out, and waited for Princess Mu to get out of the carriage. The maid got the news in advance, and waited in front of the house early, and when Princess Mu got out of the carriage, she immediately greeted her.

Princess Mu's henchman Mother Qin and the maid Miaoyu carried Princess Mu into the palace left and right, and walked under the corridor, and the maid who had already been alerted opened the curtain and let Princess Mu and her party pass.

"Niangniang, Mrs. Pingning Hou and the second wife of the Pingning family came over early in the morning, and the old man got the invitation of the old uncle of Jining Bofu, and he passed over early in the morning. It was a few brothers who came out to entertain Mrs. Pingninghou and the second wife of the Pingning family, seeing that the mother and the prince had not come back yet, Mrs. Pingninghou's face was already a little unhappy. ”

Mother Qin hugged Princess Mu and said as she walked.

Qin's mother wore a gray coarse cloth dress, combed a round bun, her hair was curled with two plain silver hairpins, her face was full of wrinkles, and she also wore a pair of heavy Tibetan silver bracelets on her hands, looking extremely capable.

"What did Mrs. Pingninghou do when she came over? How did the second wife of the Hei family react?"

Princess Mu Cai listened to Mother Qin's words and hurriedly asked.

Mrs. Pingning Hou came over, just for the marriage of the eldest prince of the Ping family and the county lord, seeing that the wedding date is approaching, and the county lord has not yet been found, what should Mu Wangfu explain to Pingning Hou's Mansion? It's better to deal with the past first, and then talk about it, if it can drag on for a while, it's a while.

"Niangniang, Mrs. Pingninghou didn't say anything. However, the second wife of the Ping family scolded and said a few words to you, saying that she knew that the county lord did not like their eldest son, and she should not have been this matchmaker in the first place.

Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, the Ping family has already sent out all the wedding cards, and when the time comes, relatives and friends come over, and they don't see the bride, and their Ping family's face is really lost. This time, it was Miaoyu, the maid on Princess Mu's left, who replied.

Miaoyu and Qin's mother are both maids and daughters-in-law who Princess Mu married from the Cai family, and they are Princess Mu's right-hand men.

She said, "What can I do?" Could it be that I can go and get the county lord back? Who told them to hand over the wedding card so quickly, who is to blame?"

The second wife of the Ping family has come to the door several times to talk about Mu Xiaojun's escape from marriage. Every time, they say that they are the little county lord of their family, and they delay their eldest son, and if their daughter can't get married, they still have to pull their brother, and they can't marry their daughter-in-law.

Princess Mu had already been resentful in her heart, and now she hurriedly invited her back, delaying Master Huizhi's lecture, and her face was already full of displeasure.

When she walked to the corridor of the mobile game, Qin's mother suddenly remembered the news handed over by the Cai family a few days ago, and said.

"Niangniang, the ancestor of the Cai family called someone to deliver the news, saying that your cousin who married the Pengpu Gu family is not successful, and there are only a few days to live. No matter how you say it, it's all a relative, and the mother always wants to go down to have a look. If the mother doesn't go, won't the sisters have a relationship with each other?"

Mother Qin said cautiously, for fear that she would make Princess Mu unhappy if she said something about the Cai family.

"It's a shame that the old ancestor is still thinking about me, I have been married to Mu Wangfu for so many years, and the old ancestor has a New Year's holiday, and he didn't think about sending me something. On the other hand, the other sisters, every New Year's holiday, will get the things sent by their ancestors. Now that Cai Minlan, who is married to Pengpu, can't do it, just ask me to go down and take a look, where is there such partiality?"

Princess Mu has always disliked others mentioning anything about the Cai family to her. So when others mention the trivial matters of the Cai family, she will keep her mouth shut.

Seeing the anger on Princess Mu's face gradually appearing, Mother Qin suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, it was the old slave who was negligent, please punish Niangniang!" ”

Looking at Mother Qin's panicked appearance, the anger on Princess Mu's face gradually went down, and she didn't look at Mother Qin in front of her, so she said.

"Don't mention these bad things next time. But since Cai Minlan is gone, I always have to call someone to go down and take a look at the land, she and I are finally sisters. ”

After that, Princess Mu instructed Miaoyu beside her, asking Miaoyu to bring some good medicinal materials in a few days and go to Pengpu to see Cai Minlan on her behalf.

Entering the small flower hall used to entertain guests in the palace, the maid waiting outside the flower hall opened a bead curtain and let Princess Mu and Qin's mother and others in.

As soon as he entered, he didn't walk a few steps, but he saw a handsome young man with a jade face walking out, and after saluting Princess Mu, he said slowly.

"Mother, you're finally back. My father was not at home, Mrs. Pingninghou and the second wife of the Pingjia family sat in the flower hall again, and the eldest brother asked me to come out to entertain guests. ”

The young man in front of him is Mu Zeng, the third son of Princess Mu, and the third brother of Lord Mu. I studied the Four Books and Five Classics with my masters in the academy all the year round, and I took a leave of absence with my masters a few days ago and came back to live at home for a few days.

Looking at the third son in front of her, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old and was so sensible, Princess Mu felt pity in her heart.

She has five children, and the most painful is the youngest son, the youngest daughter, the youngest son is spoiled by her as a little bully, and he is not at home all day long. The youngest daughter is the meat of her heart, even if she made a mistake, she refused to beat and scold, so that now in order not to marry the eldest prince of the Pingning Marquis Mansion, she ran away from marriage without permission, and caused this great disaster.

"Zeng'er, you're a good boy. The concubine will not treat you badly in the future. After the concubine takes care of your little sister's marriage, she will find a good marriage for you. ”

Princess Mu said, bypassing the son in front of her and entering the flower hall.

It seemed that she heard the movement coming from outside, and Mrs. Pingninghou and the second wife of the Pingjia family, who had been talking in the flower hall, stopped talking suddenly and looked in the direction of Princess Mu.

After seeing Princess Mu sitting in the main seat of the house, Mrs. Pingninghou and the second wife of the Pingjia family gave Princess Mu a blessing according to the rules, and then sat on her seat.

"I heard that today is the lecture of Master Huizhi of Qifu Temple, and the princess went to Qifu Temple specially to Qifu Temple, but I don't know if I have seen Master Huizhi? What did Master Huizhi say today?"

The second wife of the Ping family was the first to open her tone and attacked Princess Mu.

"Sister Heijia is really well-informed! Today is indeed a lecture by Master Huizhi of Prayer Temple, but unfortunately when my sister went, it was already late and I didn't listen to Master Huizhi's lecture. I heard that Mrs. Hou and the second wife had been waiting for me in the house for a long time, so I rushed back. ”

Princess Mu glanced at Mrs. Pingninghou in front of her, and then moved her gaze to the second wife of the Ping family.

"Princess Niangniang, I wonder if the county lord has whereabouts? My old lady lost her temper in the house yesterday for the marriage of my eldest brother, accusing me of not treating my eldest brother well, and the daughter-in-law who had not yet come to the door ran away from the marriage, and I am afraid that this marriage will not be completed. ”

Mrs. Pingninghou said and wiped the tears from her face, but the tears quickly wet the sleeves of Mrs. Pingninghou.

The second wife of the Ping family said while comforting Mrs. Pingninghou.

"Princess, I discussed it with you at the beginning. You said that the county lord is the most virtuous girl, so I agreed to tell my brother and your girl, if I had known that the county lord did not like my brother, I would have escaped from the marriage. Whatever you say, I don't want to. ”
