Chapter 197: Unexpected
Mu Zheng suddenly smiled, and the wrinkles on his face looked much deeper than usual.
"Even if he Nangong Yin doesn't marry in his life, I'm afraid that my Mu family won't have a woman to give him!" He turned his head to Mu Yuanshan behind him and said, "Go and invite the old lady and the eldest young master of Nangong Mansion to come in!" ”
Nangong Yingyue has a temper that catches the fire, and she is also angry when she listens to Mu Zheng's sneering, "I think you can still hold the shelf, and you have to ask Yan'er what Yan'er means about this matter?" ”
"Go and ask the young lady to come!" Mu Qinghan didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so he ordered Tingfeng to run errands.
Nangong Yin followed the old lady Nangong into the door, looking at the people in the hall and slightly stunned. He thought that these people were all invited by Nangong Yingyue, and the brilliance in his eyes unconsciously increased a little.
Listening to the wind, he ran back and said in front of everyone, "Miss is not coming, she said that she has already promised someone, and it is inconvenient to meet with foreign men like Nangong Young Master again, please understand!" ”
Nangong Yingyue and Nangong Old Lady were both stunned, and Nangong Yin didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Everyone who comes is a guest, today is a big day for my Mu family, and it is also appropriate to invite all the elders to have a glass of wine." Mu Qinghan was angry, took the wine jug from the little girl's hand, and really poured a full cup for everyone personally.
"Wait!" Nangong Yingyue stood up, "The Wing King said that double happiness is coming, which double happiness?" ”
Mu Qinghan smiled faintly, "My aunt and sister have promised to marry today, there is a matchmaker between King Wuji and Grandpa Guo, princess, isn't this double happiness?" ”
"Which one is Xu?" Nangong Yingyue looked at Qin Yan and Yue Jun in the hall, "Could it be ......?"
Mu Qinghan still smiled, "As the princess expected, the Tiger King came to ask to marry his sister, and grandpa has already agreed!" ”
Nangong Yingyue looked at Qin Yan puzzled, "Qin family boy, is this true?" ”
"Seriously!" Qin Yan's two words were indifferent, but extremely serious.
Nangong Yingyue came back to her senses for a long time, and instead of being angry, she laughed, "Mu Zheng, I have to congratulate you!" She walked a few steps to the old lady of Denangong, "Sister-in-law, you forced Yin'er to take me back, why didn't you take me a day or two earlier?" ”
The old lady of Nangong looked at Mu Zheng with great disappointment, and then looked at her eldest grandson who had lost her soul, and reluctantly said goodbye and left. Originally, she didn't want Nangong Yin to marry Mu Qingyan again, after all, she was fortunate by Chu Li and gave birth to another child; But Nangong Yin forced her to die, she originally thought that Mu Qingyan was in a difficult situation now, and she personally came to the door to ask for marriage, which was considered to be enough, and this thing would definitely be done. Who knows, that Qin Yan has a different surname and is extremely noble, but he fell in love with such a notorious woman.
Chu Han had already heard that Nangong Yingyue was coming, so he couldn't be ashamed, and went to the banquet hall to invite her into the inner courtyard.
Nangong Yingyue held her hand, "It's better to go and see Yan'er, I haven't seen her for several years." ”
"It's good!" Chu Han instructed Qing Zhi, "Put lunch in Lanyan Pavilion." ”
Nangong Yingyue said to Chu Han all the way, "There are no old ladies and wives in the Mu family, it all depends on you Zhang Luo, and it is just that the marriage of King Yi is low-key, and this time it will be lively and lively." ”
"Princess, I just have such a little ability, I don't rely on my own nonsense, Han'er's marriage is really messed up." Chu Han held her hand affectionately, "This time Yan'er got married, and I had to do a big deal after listening to the Tiger King's wishes, and I had to work hard for the princess to give an idea." ”
Nangong Yingyue didn't shirk either, "I'm too old to do these things." She patted Chu Han's hand, "But don't worry, I'll send a few housekeepers to you when I go back, they are used to doing these things, and they are very careful." ”
"Thank you so much Princess!" Chu Han promised her help, and they were all old people in the palace, so they were very happy. Her own marriage is okay, Yan'er is married to the Tiger King, Qin Xiangguo and his wife are unwilling to contribute, she has been worried for two or three days.
Mu Qingyan came back from the front hall, although there was no joy or anger on his face, but he was happy in his heart after all.
In the study, a piece of rice paper on the table has been roughly outlined, like a set of houses, covering a large area, with pavilions and pavilions, as well as streams and hillsides.
"Miss, Princess Wuji is here!" Amber whispered outside the door.
Mu Qingyan put down his pen when he heard this, and walked quickly downstairs to greet him.
The general walked to the painting hall, and Cinnabar had already greeted him, and was picking up the bead curtain to let the group enter the painting hall.
Nangong Yingyue looked at the person who greeted her with a smile, was slightly stunned, and turned her head to look at Chu Han.
"I've seen the princess!" Mu Qingyan gave a deep salute, and knelt down along with the amber and coral beside him.
"Get up, get up!" Nangong Yingyue stepped forward and took Mu Qingyan's hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said with confidence, "I knew that you were not ugly, but every time you wear heavy makeup and thick powder, you will not be left with this spiritual pressure." Well, that's how it looks. ”
Mu Qingyan held her hand and sat down, and said with a smile, "The princess praised falsely, she used to be ignorant and ignorant, and she was only beautiful like that." ”
Nangong Yingyue endured it for a long time, and finally asked what was in her heart: "Yan'er, do you really have no more Yin'er in your heart?" She looked at Mu Qingyan's expression intently, trying to find a trace of the past on her calm face.
"It's been a long time, don't mention it anymore, princess." Mu Qingyan lowered her eyebrows, not worried or sighing, still smiling, "Brother Yin has nothing to do with me, and you also know my temper, princess, I have not been restrained since I was a child, my grandfather also indulged me, and my aunt and brother were used to it, which made the Nangong family lose its dignity." ”
Nangong Yingyue couldn't help but sigh when she saw that she didn't complain and gave in everywhere.
Several people entered the table together, talking and laughing, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The banquet was also removed from the front hall, and it was still moved to the large study room for tea.
Chu Jing drank a bowl of sobering soup and drank two cups of tea before he spoke, "That Han girl's marriage is so decided, the ninth day of August is a good day, although the preparations for a month are tighter, it is no problem to have enough people to come." ”
"Just listen to the prince, there is no problem with manpower, just set it on the ninth day of the first month!" Mu Qinghan looked at Yue Jun with a happy face, and made a decision for his tangled grandfather.
Sure enough, Mu Zheng glared at him angrily, but he didn't say anything against it.
"That good day for the cigarette girl, what do the Qin family boys have to say?" Dongfang Yin asked Qin Yan.
Qin Yan shook his head, "No! ”
"Well, the ninth day of September is also a good day." Dongfang Yin looked at Mu Zheng, "What do you think?" ”
Mu Zheng nodded, "Okay, that's it!" ”
Regarding the process, Chu Jing asked people to go to the inner courtyard and invited Nangong Yingyue to find someone to take care of it.
After thinking about it, she really thought of a suitable candidate for Nangong Yingyue, so she smiled and said, "I can't only ask her to work once!" ”
Mu Qinghan was about to ask who to invite, Nangong Yingyue said again: "Princess Ning'an! Although she has not paid attention to the marriage, when I match her with a few capable assistants, these two marriages will be handled properly. ”
Dongfang Yin shook his head: "If it doesn't work, how can she do such a big thing, it can't be done with a child's nonsense!" ”
"Dongfang Yin, you relax, I say she can do it! Besides, she has always been close to the people in this house, and only she is in charge of things. Nangong Yingyue can't refute it, and argues with reason.
Chu Han heard that he was going to invite Crazy Yu to take charge, and he was also relieved, and he went to the Jinghong Workshop to invite him.
Then he talked about the time of the three books and the six rites.
As soon as the obsessive jade arrived, it added to the excitement, and the banquet was set up at dusk, and it did not disperse until night.
Chu Jing drank too much wine, so he just fell asleep and couldn't wake up. Mu Qinghan hurriedly ordered someone to relocate Mu Zheng's small study for him to rest, and asked people to guard through the screen and wait for the sobering soup.
Dongfang Yin was also drunk and confused, and was personally sent back to Qilin Villa by Mu Qinghan.
Mu Zheng looked drunk, walked crookedly and refused to be supported. Mu Yuanshan took a few small servants to take care of him at close quarters on the left and right, and finally sent him back to the inner room to rest.
Yue Jun didn't dare to indulge, gossiping with Qin Yan and Mu Qinghan, and he never got drunk. The seats dispersed, and they each said goodbye and went home.
Mu Qingyan had already drawn a bird's-eye view, and laid down another piece of paper, carefully pondering the places of addition and subtraction, and drew on the new paper.
After nightfall, Sanjiu came.
"Master, find out!" Sanjiu bowed, "As the master expected, it was someone sent by Wei Wanwan." ”
Mu Qingyan put down the pen in his hand, replaced it with a thinner one, and drew a pavilion in one place. He didn't stop until the painting was finished, "I think only she knows that Qin Yan came to the door today, what is the scene in the Tiger King's Mansion?" ”
"Mrs. Xiangguo took Wei Wanwan to pick the courtyard next to the Tiger King's courtyard, and sent someone to clean it up!" There is more anger in the thirty-nine words, "Do you want to ......?"
Mu Qingyan shook his head, "Don't worry about this matter, tomorrow Qin Yan will send the whole map of the Tiger King's Mansion over, and when the time comes, where you want to demolish and build, you can't tolerate others to put your beak." ”
"But master, she is the mother of the Tiger King after all." Sanjiu worried.
Mu Qingyan chuckled, "I'm married to the Tiger King's Mansion!" Grandpa and Qin Yan made this matter clear, and it was not the door of his Xiangguo Mansion that he entered. If I can't even call the shots in the Tiger King's Mansion, then I will definitely ruin the marriage on the spot, hehe! ”
Sanjiu looked at Mu Qingyan in surprise and secretly admired.
"Take this drawing, my Xiaoyao Mansion will never be worse than a Tiger King's Mansion?" Mu Qingyan rolled up the two pictures and handed them to Sanjiu, "Take advantage of the crisp autumn weather, you can renovate the garden!" ”
Chu Jue pointed out the original prince's mansion to Mu Qingyan, which was clearly a preference.
Sanjiu's face was pleasant, "Obey!" ”
"There is a secret passage in this garden, I have already explored it!" She took a small map pressed under the ballast and "changed its direction according to the original terrain, penetrated the necessary courtyard, and installed the mechanism." Mu Qingyan carefully pointed to a few places in Sanjiu, "Closing the gate to isolate the traffic of all parts and ensure safety." ”
Sanjiu nodded solemnly, thinking that this would be the shelter of the little master in the future, and the necessary safety must be taken into account.
Amber came in with a roll of things, "Master, the Tiger King has ordered someone to send the whole map of the palace!" She watched Sanjiu leave and then said, "The Tiger King said that whether to demolish or build, it is all up to the young lady to decide, and there is enough time." ”
Mu Qingyan began to take a closer look from the door, and asked Amber to press the four corners with a ruler, and then sat down on the chair behind the desk, and planned the drawings in his mind with his eyes closed.
After the second watch, Amber came to urge her to rest early.
Mu Qingyan took off his robe by himself, and Coral and Pearl waited to freshen up and sleep on the bed.
The weather in midsummer and July was already hot and dry outside, and I stopped shouting after knowing it late at night. Mu Qingyan is lazy, and often gets up in the midst of the thousands of calls of Amber and a few people.
Qin Yan is not as good as her, she is busy during the day, she goes to bed at night, she can't fall asleep over and over, she only thinks about what she looks like during the day, and thinks about the scene when she slept in her arms the night before, and she is as restless as a hairy boy.
The night is still very long, and I always feel that this night has not been difficult in the past ten years.
When the cinnabar rose the next day, there was a sword and sword shadow on Ningxing Lake. She was startled, threw the basin of water in her hand and trotted towards the Jiuqu Bridge.
On the nameless water pavilion, Mu Qingyan and Mu Qinghan were fighting against each other with a sword. Both of them were wearing only thin white shirts, and they were each wrapped in light skills and flew in the light and shadow of a blade, and they couldn't tell who was who.
After a pillar of incense, the two of them each landed in a corner of the water pavilion.
Mu Qingyan looked at the other side proudly, "Brother Han, I beat you with the Xiaoyun Sword, so I don't take advantage of you, right?" ”
"No, Xiaoyun Sword can rank first in the world's weapon spectrum, and it really deserves its reputation!" Mu Qinghan collected the Tianji fan and collected the cold light. Suddenly, he jumped up and shot from the nameless water pavilion to the Zhiwuyuan on the opposite bank, except for borrowing two forces on the water halfway, he landed under the opposite corridor very lightly, and glanced at Mu Qingyan defiantly.
Mu Qingyan was not convinced, threw the sword to Cinnabar, and lifted a mouthful of internal force from the water pavilion, but ran to the Xiangxi Pavilion farther away. Her arms were stretched out, like a swift swallow, and she also borrowed force twice from the water and landed on the pavilion on the opposite bank.
was about to demonstrate to Mu Qinghan, but saw him shake his head and leave. She was immediately unhappy, stomped her feet hatefully, and turned around and entered Chu Han's Xiangxi Pavilion. didn't take two steps, and met the stunned Qinghe, and the sound of folding fingers popped up on her head, and then she was angry.
After having breakfast in Xiangxi Pavilion, she went back to Lanyan Pavilion, asked Amber to change her clothes, and sat in front of the mirror with her old makeup, and several maids were puzzled.
"Amber, cinnabar will take you to see a good show!" Mu Qingyan wore a water-pink skirt and wiped her face with fat powder.
Coral stretched out his arms and stopped in front of her, and asked her angrily, "Miss, who are you going out to scare again?" "She embroidered this robe for a month and a half, and she spoiled it like this, woo.
Mu Qingyan smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "You said that someone was waiting outside the door to see my good show, how could I not be a scene?" She patted Coral's head, "Don't worry, I'll go to Yunshang Fang to take a look at Xue Chu, and I'll be back at noon." ”
Sango's eyes lit up, "Miss, you come back with a piece of material and cut some clothes for the little lady!" ”
"Good!" Mu Qingyan returned to his original smugness, and he didn't look serious when he walked, and he was very slow.
