Chapter 140: Return from the Tribulation
In late March, Jinguancheng.
Jinguancheng used to be regarded as the territory of the Anjia, and the Anxinlou has been located here for decades, and Chu Li said that the emperor and the queen of the Anjia all moved to the capital, but the ancestral property of the ancestral house is still there.
The ambush set up by the You Dragon Xin Pavilion in this city will never be less than that of the capital, but whenever there is a disturbance, it will not miss a trace.
A group of several people descended from the sky, as if they appeared in Jinguan City out of thin air. In the front car, Mu Qingyan and Zuo Ling were sitting, and in the latter car were Linglong and Liuli, and there were two and a half pandas.
Although Mu Zheng is old, he has never left his horse since he was very young, and he refuses to ride in a car.
The afterimage hugged Shen Jun and rode with him, stopping and returning to the capital.
Mu Qingyan was dressed in brocade clothes, and he picked up some good ones along the way, which was not much ostentatious, but he could never be restrained. She deliberately took her two children along the way to explore the rivers and lakes they were curious about, so she carefully taught and explained them along the way.
After four or five days of fast horses, everyone walked straight for half a month.
When arriving in Beijing, he bypassed the west gate and did not enter, deliberately entered the city from the south gate, and went straight to Shuiyue Villa.
Chu Han and Yu Ranqing led Amber, Pearl, Magpie and Mandarin Duck to wait at the second gate for a long time, and when they saw the remnant of the horse, many people came out.
Mu Qingyan got out of the car, and Chu Han hugged her and cried. Mu Qingyan coaxed her, and at the same time persuaded Amber and Pearl to stop crying, and the group rushed into the main hall to sit down.
Yu Ranqing has a big belly, and there are two children's courtyards inside and out.
Mu Qingyan couldn't stop her a few times, and Chu Han couldn't bear her to work, so she sat down hard, "You have known Yan'er since you were a child, where is she so delicate that you need to serve her personally?" The old man is most afraid of these red tape and etiquette, and the more careful he is, the more impatient he becomes, so you just rest obediently. ”
Yu Ranqing and Mu Qinghan have not been pregnant for four or five years after their marriage, and the number of people in Beijing who say irresponsible things is accumulating, no matter how Mu Qinghan is relieved, Yu Ranqing is becoming more and more sad.
Until a few years ago, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she complained of a stomachache. Mu Qinghan was also shocked when he personally checked the pulse, but he didn't know when he was pregnant, and he deeply regretted his recklessness in the first half of the night.
hurriedly got off the party and personally decocted the medicine for Yu Ranqing, so that he could calm down, and went to bed again, only to hold her and dare not make trouble with her, and his heart became agitated. In the past few years, she has occasionally traveled to and from the purple bamboo forest, and Yu Ranqing has been accompanied by her, and every time she sees her love for Shen Jun and Zuo Ning, she can't help but be sad, but the more anxious she is, the more she can't.
My aunt didn't know how many home remedies she had stuffed into him in private, but he didn't dare to give them to Yu Ranqing, for fear that she wouldn't be able to think about it for a while, and it would be too late to regret it.
Chu Han also had this concern, so he didn't dare to tell Yu Ranqing directly.
Before everyone could get a cup of tea, someone outside the door came to report.
"Old farmer, King Wuji and Grandpa Dongfang are here."
Mu Zheng raised his eyebrows, quite helpless.
"Please!" He stood up and went to the inner room.
The magpie and the mandarin duck hurriedly followed him in and changed their clothes. Put on a newly-cut stone blue silk brocade robe with him, and re-freshen it before coming out to meet the guests again.
Chu Han was in front, Mu Qingyan looked for a long time and didn't see the two children, so he stretched out an arm to help Yu Ranqing and went to Lanyan Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he fell to his knees in the courtyard in an instant.
Cangxin, Feng Sacrifice, Qingjin, 3949 are all here.
"Get up, don't kneel!" Mu Qingyan scolded with a cold face.
The group stood up and stood with their hands down.
Chu Han and Yu Ran Qing knew that she had been away from Beijing for five years, and there were many things that would inevitably take some time, so they left together.
They went upstairs and sat down in the study.
Cang Xin spoke first, "Congratulations to the young master on his return from the tribulation!" ”
Mu Qingyan nodded.
The sacrifice was as before, and there was no word on the cold face. Only on that handsome face, a faint residue slanted from the corner of the eye into the sideburns, still showing the pain of the past.
Mu Qingyan couldn't help but look at him twice, and glared at him angrily, "Your face is also hurt?" Have you practiced all your martial arts in vain? ”
Qing Jin smiled ruffianly, "Young Master, don't you think this scar looks better with his cold face?" ”
"Get out!" Feng Shi squeezed out an extremely cold word from between his teeth.
"Let's go back to Bishui Manor first, and then discuss it the day after tomorrow." Mu Qingyan knew in his heart that Shuiyue Mountain Villa would not be peaceful in the past few days, and he was afraid that only close people would have to be busy for several days before he could rest.
"Young master!" Sijiu puffed and knelt down again, wanting to speak and stopping.
Mu Qingyan squinted at him and smiled faintly, "Sijiu, I heard that you kidnapped my amber and gave birth to a doll, how dare you be fat?" ”
Sijiu lay on the ground and did not move, nor did he respond.
Amber came in and fell to her knees as well, "Miss! The tears in his eyes filled a frame, "Please punish Miss!" ”
The two are the same, and they don't justify half a sentence, let alone Mu Qinghan's approval of the marriage of the two of them.
"Get up, and we'll talk about that later." Mu Qingyan glanced at the door, "Zuo Ning came in." ”
Zuo Ning came in with short legs from outside the door expressionlessly, standing beside Mu Qingyan in a decent manner, looking up at her expectantly.
"This is the new master of Youlong Xin Pavilion, you will take her back today, so that she can be taught." Although Mu Qingyan's expression was light, it was not like a joke, and everyone didn't know how to respond for a while.
Instead, Zuo Ning hid the joy in his heart, turned around and walked out the door, "The pavilion master has all picked up people, aren't you still leaving?" "The children's voice was frosty, and the ice slag fell on the ground.
With just one sentence, a few people knew that this little thing was not a master to mess with.
Feng Shi bent over and scooped her up, and several people went out.
Mu Qingyan patted the back of the chair, "Shen Jun! "Don't be angry.
A small body climbed out from behind the chair, his chin rested on the armrest, rubbed his little nose, and looked lazily at Sanjiu and the kneeling Sijiu, "The remaining two people are mine?" ”
Mu Qingyan flicked his fingers at his head and rolled his eyes, "Take it away!" ”
I saw him turn over from behind the chair, hold his little hands behind his back, sigh, and go out first in full view of everyone.
Who would have thought that more than a year later, at the age of six, he would be crowned with the title of King of the Side-by-Side, and with a fat panda, he would turn the capital upside down.
When everyone who should leave is gone, Mu Qingyan changed into the new clothes prepared by Coral under the service of the maid, hastily hooked his face makeup, and went to the main hall with Amber's hand to see Wuji King Chu Jing and Dongfang Yin.
respectfully greeted the two distinguished guests, and called grandpa again.
Mu Zheng glanced at the makeup on her face with disgust, then turned his head and didn't want to look at it again.
Dongfang Yin smiled and picked up a red sandalwood box in his hand, "Yan'er, come and see if this thing is rare or not." He handed the box to Mu Qingyan, who came over, and smiled.
Mu Qingyan took it with both hands, held it with one hand, twisted the lock with the other, and suddenly smiled so big that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Thank you, Grandpa Dongfang, you've bothered for a long time." Mu Qingyan dropped the lid of the box, handed it to Amber, and bent down to salute again.
Chu Jing snorted, took out something from his sleeve, and threw it at Mu Qingyan casually, "The girl is ready!" ”
Mu Qingyan grabbed his fingers in his palm, pulled the fine silk outside a few times, glanced at it and wrapped the silk cloth back, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Xie Wuji is rewarded, and the smoke is accepted." ”
With everyone's beautiful attitude, another dignified gift was made.
Chu Han personally arranged the meal, set up a full table, invited three people to the table, and personally waited on the side.
Chu Jing looked at Dongfang Yin several times, and stopped talking.
Chu Han understood, "Magpie, let people make a cup of tea for me to drink." ”
She confessed to the three of them, turned and went out.
When she was far away, Chu Jing spoke, "Mu Zheng, I look at Yue Jun well, and he is the same age as Chu Han." ”
Mu Zheng frowned when he heard this.
Dongfang Yin drank all the wine before he spoke, "Brother Mu, Yue Jun said by King Wuji is extremely loyal and filial, and the new emperor has assisted him wholeheartedly after entering the dynasty, and the dynasty has praised him. ”
"If it's so good, why haven't you ever been married?" Mu Zheng asked him.
Chu Jing said quickly, "I heard that I had ordered a baby kiss, and I didn't want the girl to be very rich; His family was in the middle of the road, and in the midst of his father's filial piety, he was forced to withdraw from the marriage. Chu Jing looked at Mu Zheng's face as he spoke, and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Later, the old man helped him enter Beijing with some silver taels, and after he won the high school championship, the woman's family came again, but he just refused to return to his heart, and he made a fuss for the past few years." ”
Mu Zheng threw the wine glass on the table with a 'bang', "He has a previous marriage, and he is making trouble, why bother to find my daughter to suffer with him?" ”
"It's just a play about hating the poor and loving the rich. Now, Yue Jun's mother has also passed away, and he is all about government affairs, which is really a rare talent, and he must not miss it. ”
Dongfang Yin smiled, "Brother Mu, don't be annoyed, Yue Jun is very good, if Chu Han is matched with him, that is, he will solve his troubles, and find a good marriage for Chu Han, can he treat your daughter wholeheartedly?" After a pause, he said, "Besides, I'm a family like me, which rich family are afraid of making trouble?" ”
Mu Zheng twisted his eyebrows and did not agree.
Chu Jing was anxious, "Although Yue Jun is entangled in such unknown things, he is still innocent after all, and he doesn't need three bedrooms and two rooms, but he can live in peace." And he has never married, and now he has a woman like Chuhan, am he afraid that he will not be single-minded? ”
After an afternoon of persuasion between the two of them, Mu Zheng only nodded.
In the end, it was Dongfang Yin who came up with an idea, "Tomorrow, let's find an opportunity to let Yue Jun come and show you, if Brother Mu, if you can't get into it, then that's it, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet." ”
The three of them drank tea again.
There is less rain this spring, and the Longjing buds on the lion peak of Yushan Mountain in the southwest of Mochou Lake have been picked ten days before the Qingming Festival, made into tea, and sent to Beijing in a hurry.
In the aroma of blue beans in the room, the lotus hearts are rising, and the spears stand upright; In the clear blue soup, it is like a delicate fairy, and it is like a hibiscus out of the water.
As soon as you take a bite into your throat, the mellow aroma is silky and smooth, and the fragrance is fragrant after swallowing.
Mu Qingyan stood alone in the window of the study and looked at Ningxing Lake, only to see that the weeping willows on the lakeside had grown extremely luxuriantly, like strips of silk fluttering in the evening breeze. The magnolia tree planted by himself when he was young has the thickness of the shoulder and neck of the plum bottle on the Duobao grid, and the flowering period is twilight but not exhausted, and there are still sporadic wilted petals on the branches, and I can't bear to say goodbye to spring.
On the nine-curved bridge that connects with the shore of the lake, a girl in pink clothes is casually carrying a fishing rod in her hand, but she bends her body to find her own shadow in the water, looking forward to it.
Mu Qingyan suddenly remembered that when she was a child, because she was naughty, she threw her into the water and taught her how to swim. A smile spread across his lips: What year was that? Or is it that the magnolia by the lake has just been planted and has not yet seen flowering? Or is it that I haven't learned the Flying Immortals for the first time?
Year after year, I really don't leave half a face, just in such a hurry and suddenly. I am no longer the stubbornness of the year, and the two children have reached the age when they stumbled into the rivers and lakes. How lucky they are that there are so many people in front of them and behind them, and any one of them can shelter them from the wind and rain.
Grandpa is old but not old, aunt and brother are safe, and the Central Plains are still owned by Dongchu after all. When the wolf smoke is extinguished, the pride is not extinguished, and he is still a teenager when he returns.
Some evening cold winds blew through the wide open windows, and Mu Qingyan added to the problem of chills. Although it was spring, my hands and feet were still cold to the bone, and I didn't know where to put my cold hands and feet after I fell asleep at night.
The door of the study was open, the tea was gone, and the fragrance of the tea faded.
Footsteps clanged and ran upstairs.
"Miss, Miss, the fish soup is here." Linglong shouted into the door, put down the tray in her hand, and smiled to invite credit, "The fish I caught, the belly is full of fish roe, fresh and fat!" ”
Amber came in after her, draped an eggplant-colored cloak over Mu Qingyan's shoulders and loosely tied the strap.
"Linglong, you are becoming more and more unruly, you don't have a walking appearance when you walk, you don't talk like you talk, if you develop a sex or are seen by outsiders, the joke is Shuiyue Villa." Amber pointed at the center of Linglong's eyebrows and taught carefully.
Linglong stuck out her tongue and grinned to close the window.
Mu Qingyan retracted his gaze and glanced at Linglong obliquely, "Don't go fishing at this time in the future, a few small fish in the belly of the fish have been boiled in this bowl, isn't it pitiful?" ”
Linglong nodded in agreement.
Mu Qingyan knew that she didn't understand the reason, and he didn't pay attention to her.
Turning to Amber, he asked, "Amber, where do you live now?" ”
Amber blushed and whispered, "It's always been in our yard, and Xiao Si'er and his father are outside the city." ”
Mu Qingyan sighed in her heart, everyone knew that she was very short-guarded, and the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat.
"It's really inconvenient for Sijiu to enter and exit Shuiyue Villa, just buy a courtyard in the city, where is the silver shorted for you, why make such a fuss?"
Amber's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and refused to lift it.
Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "I'll go to see the house tomorrow, and if I buy it regardless of the size I like, it can be regarded as an industry, and it can be passed on in the future." "After a pause, I remembered something," Shen Jun should also ask a gentleman to teach and let Xiao Si'er go to school together. ”
Amber gratefully answered one by one.
Pulling the cloak on his body, Mu Qingyan looked out the window at the dark night and walked out. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and instructed Linglong, "Light the lamp in this study overnight, watch carefully, and if anyone asks, they only say that I am asleep." ”
