Chapter 23: Kirin Villa
In the end, it was the maid in the big family, and the person had already run into the Yaoyue Courtyard before stopping. Determined, she was afraid that she would not know how to reply when she entered the house and was asked by everyone, so she sent a maid from her courtyard to invite her lady out, and she waited behind the shadow wall.
For a while, Mrs. Nangong came out, and Yufen told what she saw, and helped Xing to hurry to Deng Min again.
Deng Min was half-kneeling and half-sitting on the ground, with his unevenly cut hair, blood gushing out of his left wrist, and a few pieces of porcelain broken on the ground. When Mrs. Nangong entered the door, she had already fainted.
Peiqin Peifeng hugged his wife's leg one by one and said the matter more and more vinegar.
Mrs. Nangong suddenly let out a sigh of relief and withered on the embroidery stool.
Yufen saw that her lady's face was frosty and pale, and she knew that things were difficult. She had seen some of the world with her wife, and she was busy scolding the two maids to help Deng Min to the bed, and sent someone to ask for a doctor.
After the doctor came to see him, he bandaged the wound with medicine to stop bleeding. Mrs. Nangong came to her senses at this time, threw herself on the bed at once, and cried with a kiss.
Deng Min woke up and cried to death in Mrs. Nangong's arms, saying that he was not alive when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth.
Mrs. Nangong was raised as a daughter since she was a child, and she really hoped to be matched to Nangong Hao in the future, so that she could take over the power of the Nangong family and live a peaceful and happy life. Who knew that such a big thing would be brewed today, if the Mu family knew about it, she would not be good, she had to think about how to make it both beautiful.
After coaxing Deng Min to sleep for a long time, Mrs. Nangong went back to her house and asked people to invite Nangong Yin.
Nangong Yin didn't say a word, lowered her head and let Mrs. Nangong persuade for a long time before agreeing to wait for Mu Qingyan to pass the door before accepting Deng Min as a concubine.
Although Mrs. Nangong was annoyed in her heart, she also knew that she couldn't force him too much, so she had to casually look for a mistake in Qingyan in the future, and raise Deng Min as his wife. She measured in her heart: Although the Mu family has some wealth now, it is always inferior to the Nangong family, and it has won the emperor's favor. Miss Mu entered the door of Nangong's house, and there were daughters-in-law of her Nangong family on the left and right, and she was afraid that she would not be able to go against the sky?
Such a major event in the boudoir was quietly pressed under the courtyard of the deep house.
Nangong Yin returned to his courtyard, and he didn't say a word for two days, nor did he take half a step out of the door.
Xiang Rong went back and forth with the food, but he didn't go into the house once, and was left out of the door. She went back to her and Xinrong's room without a master, and Xinrong leaned on the bed and ignored her.
On the third day of the new year, Dongfang Yin personally sent a car to pick up Mu Zhengguo.
Chu Han went to Jinlu Garden early in the morning to wait, accompanied him to breakfast, dressed neatly and sent out of the door. Mu Zheng instructed her to bring the cigarette over by herself, and the old lady asked her to pass the word and let the two young ladies come over by name.
Chu Han did not go back to his courtyard, but went to Lanyan Pavilion again. The yard is very clean and tidy, and the mother-in-law is not lazy, and it has been cleaned up early in the morning.
A few steps through the painting hall and upstairs, but there was no one. As I was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and it seemed that a lot of people were coming.
Chu Han had just gone downstairs to the painting hall, and Mu Qingyan returned with the maid from practice. The six maids were wearing white satin with red gauze trims, and Mu Qingyan wore an eggplant purple plain shirt, a small jacket and wide-legged pants, and a tight belt around the waist, full of vitality.
"Auntie, why did you come so early, but you had breakfast?" Mu Qingyan was still that lazy look, and snuggled into Chu Han's arms.
"Someone from the Dongfang family picked up your grandfather, and I followed him to Jinluyuan to see what to bring, and I got up early." Chu Han gently hugged her thin waist and pinned her loose hair behind her ears, revealing a very delicate little face.
"Then aunt go back and change clothes, I'll pack up and go to Xiangxi Pavilion to pick you up!" Mu Qingyan threw the sword in his hand to Linglong, Liuli had sent the little girl to bring water, and put it at the door, and cinnabar and amber carried it upstairs together, and poured it into the bath bucket behind the screen.
"It's okay, you should be tight, it's not good to be late." Chu Han was really busy a few years ago, and he didn't rest enough in the past two days, and he got up early today, so he didn't have much energy.
After sending Chu Han away, Mu Qingyan went upstairs to bathe and changed into a new set of clothes. It was cut from the material sent by Yan Xue Chu a year ago, and the coral was not allowed to be touched by others, and it took a person to hold and embroider it for many days before it was completed.
"I'm going to Qilin Villa for a whole day, I don't know when I can go back, who wants to follow?" Mu Qingyan thought that she had to bring a few people with her to be presentable, otherwise her aunt would hate her again in a while.
"Miss, I'm not going, I haven't finished embroidering the robe you want to wear on the fifteenth!" Coral first explained that she likes to be quiet and does not like to move, and she is basically not used to serve in Lanyan Pavilion on weekdays, she just needs to do her embroidery work.
Pearl said that she would go back to see her mother today, but she didn't go.
Liuli said that the young owner promised her that she could go to the master chef of Yuyu today to learn cooking, but of course she refused to go.
"Miss, I want to go!" Linglong's big eyes are spinning, and he loves to move by nature, and he likes to go wild on weekdays. I'm afraid there is no place in this house that she doesn't know, and she has to go and see the places that no one has been in for 800 years.
Cinnabar also clamored to follow, and Amber said that she had just cleaned up inside and out, so she wouldn't follow.
Mu Qingyan shook her head helplessly, in fact, she didn't want to go, she set up rules in someone else's house for a whole day, even if she wasn't tired to death, she had to be tired half to death!
"Linglong, Cinnabar, you two go to change your clothes, pick the best, follow Miss Ben without fear of being in the limelight, and we will leave right away! Amber, I'm going to give the old lady a gift, bring it to Linglong. Mu Qingyan got up, let Coral tie a sable cloak for her, and went to Xiangxi Pavilion.
Mu Chuhan is still wearing a silver and red shirt today, with a complete set of pearl jewelry and a white fox cape, which is very eye-catching. In the past, she never came out of this kind of thing, but now her identity is different, whether it is sitting or lying down, words and deeds, or dressing, she can't lose the dignity of Shuiyue Villa.
Mu Qingyan met Mu Qinghan on the road, took his arm and entered Xiangxi Pavilion together.
"Auntie, you're even more beautiful than me!" Mu Qingyan's mouth was like honey.
Chu Han smiled, "Auntie is old, if you don't mess with the painting, how can your aunt compare, silly girl." ”
Mu Qinghan took two steps to the side and silently agreed with Chu Han's words.
Mu Qingyan was not angry, and grinned to pull Chu Han's arm, "Auntie, let's go, Brother Han will go with us." ”
Chu Han raised his head and asked Mu Qinghan with his eyes, and looked at Mu Qinghan and nodded his head slowly, and instantly became happy. These two children are the most important treasures in his life, and it is good to have his brother and sister by his side for a day.
Chu Han asked Qing Zhi to call the housekeeper again, explained some things carefully, and instructed her to take good care of the house. The three of them got out of Xiangxi Pavilion, and the two young ladies got into the carriage of Mufu, and Mu Qinghan didn't ride a horse, but followed into the carriage.
Along the way, Mu Qingyan nested in Chu Han's arms and gossiped softly with her. Mu Qinghan always looked at the two of them with a light smile, and his mood was very comfortable.
The journey is not far, the carriage walks slowly, and many carriages and horses are going to Qilin Villa to celebrate their birthdays along the way. Half an hour, the carriage stopped.
Mu Qinghan picked up the curtain and got out of the car first, and the four maids brought by Mu Qingyan and Chu Han also got off the carriage behind and walked forward to wait.
Dongfang Fengjue stood at the door of Qilin Villa to greet guests, with a long body and a lofty spirit. As soon as he saw that the carriage of Mufu had arrived, he immediately left the guests who were greeting and walked forward quickly, first greeted each other with Mu Qinghan, personally went to pick up the curtain and picked up Chu Han to get off the car, and called Chu Han with Mu Qinghan: "Aunt can come today, it is a blessing for me to Qilin Villa!" ”
"Young Master Feng Jue doesn't have to be like this, it is not worth the trip to be greeted by Gongzi Jue in person." Chu Han said with a smile.
Mu Qinghan stretched out his arm to pick up Mu Qingyan and got out of the carriage.
"Brother Jue is well!" Mu Qingyan gave a salute, but he was very playful and generous, and his voice was sweet and moist, which was not at all different from the cookie-cutter ladies of other ladies.
Dongfang Fengjue knew that she would come, and she was already looking forward to it when she stood at the door. At this time, I saw her get out of the carriage, wearing a lotus-colored cloud brocade robe, a thick purple clip, and the edge of the clip was hooked with silver wire, which was very exquisite. The little face with a big palm was a little thicker, but it couldn't hide the look he had seen in his eyes, that look......
That sound of Brother Jue actually made his heart as active as a drum, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. On the crowded street, Mu Qinghan couldn't bear to be looked at like this, and coughed lightly.
Chu Han smiled lightly and grabbed one of his sleeves, "Brother Jue, take me to see the old lady." Without waiting for him to answer, he went inside.
Mu Qingyan didn't know what was going on, and went inside.
Qilin Villa is much bigger than his own Shuiyue Villa, a few people went all the way in, met a lot of people who came to celebrate his birthday, Mu Qinghan was mostly acquainted, greeted each other, and greeted each other.
The old lady's yard covers a wide area, there are many juniors in the Oriental Mansion, the old lady loves to be lively, most of them are making trouble here on weekdays, and the old people are conniving.
Chu Han entered the door first, and the old lady of the East pulled her over, and looked at it carefully for a long time before speaking, "Mu Zheng is so blessed, he is old and has such a beautiful daughter, he envy me and wait." ”
Yan Feng, the old lady of the Yan family, and Nangong Yingyue, the princess of Jing, sat on the couch together. Mrs. He of the Ministry of Officials and Mrs. Zhong of the Ministry of Household each brought a young lady, the housemother of the Nangong family, the wife of the master of the Wulin League, Feng Qiyun, the head of the Thrush Villa, Yan Xi, the head mother of the Batian Dart Bureau, Qiu Xiaoyue, the wife of Xiangguo, and Jian Xiang, the wife of the head of the Jingwang Mansion, were all in the hall, and they laughed when they heard the words of the old birthday star.
Chu Han was dignified and generous, and Mu Qingyan also gave a gift to the elders one by one, and gave the old lady a necklace of emerald beads, which were the size of a finger belly, thick and green and crystalline.
The old lady couldn't put it down, so she asked the maid to put it on at that time, and put away the one she had wore.
Mu Qingyan didn't see Yu Ranyan and Chu Ling, didn't Xue Chu come? She was thinking to herself, and the people who came in outside the door were exactly what she was thinking.
"If you don't come, you won't come, and if you don't come, a few of us went to pick you up in person, but we didn't receive it. Where are you from, tell me quickly! Chu Ling didn't give up, reached out and hugged Mu Qingyan and went to tickle her.
"Ling'er spares my life, it was Brother Jue who brought us in." Mu Qingyan pulled the jade eyes and hid behind her.
In this big painting hall, the most outstanding ones belong to these girls, who are top in terms of identity and appearance. The old lady of the East saw her granddaughter Dongfang Fengyue, although her appearance was not bad, her temperament was much worse than those ones.
A few elderly ladies looked at a few giggling girls, and they didn't stop it, such a festive day should have such a lively day, and besides, these children have the courage to mess around, and those young ladies of the official family have passed the rules, but it is not cute.
A few people had enough trouble, and just sat down to ask for tea, someone came outside the door again.
The eldest princess took her daughter-in-law Fang Xiwen in front, and Mu Qinghan was delayed on the road for a while, and at this time she walked side by side with Jing Liang.
After seeing each other in turn, Mu Qinghan greeted the old lady of the East for her birthday, and went out with Jing Liang, never glancing at Yu Ranqing, who was close at hand.
When Yu Ranqing saw him come in, she lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it, for fear of seeing him, the red cloud behind her ears couldn't disappear, and she was secretly sad.
Nangong Yingyue, the old lady of the East and the old head of the Yan family, the three of them exchanged glances, and they were all worried about being a matchmaker for Mu Qinghan. Looking at such a handsome character today, my heart is becoming more and more loved.
Mu Qingyan and Chu Ling were also muttering, muttering for a long time without results, Chu Ling raised his head and asked Dongfang Fengyue, "The plum blossoms in your house are blooming, let's go and take a look?" ”
Dongfang Fengyue looked at a few of them, then looked at the old lady, and asked softly, "Grandma, can I take a few young ladies to enjoy the plum blossoms?" ”
The old lady of the East heard that Dongfang Fengyue had this question, and she lost her interest when she lost it, and her little girl was a little restrained, "Several young ladies followed, put on a cloak and don't freeze, Yue'er, you take care of it carefully." ”
These few people who are used to playing together on weekdays put on the cloaks they just took off again, and followed the oriental wind and moon to the plum garden.
