Volume 1 The Orphan Girl of the Imperial Capital Chapter 64 Brother and Sister Secret Words
"Okay, just come back." Qi Shi burst into tears of joy, when the eldest son insisted on going out to study despite her obstruction, she was worried every day, and she was looking forward to his return every day for three years.
Mu Qingyao hurriedly stepped up to meet him, grabbed Mu Huaijin's sleeve and cried full of grievances: "Big brother, you are finally back, if you don't come back, my mother and I will have no way to live." ”
Seeing Mu Qingyao's haggard face, Mu Huaijin frowned: "Sister, what's wrong?" ”
In his memory, Qing Yao has always been the proud daughter of the sky, she is noble and beautiful, famous all over the world with a peacock dance, and later married the third prince into the middle palace. When had she ever been so haggard?
It's okay not to say it, but Mu Qingyao's tears can't be stopped.
"Big brother, it's Mu Yunlan's slut, she ruined my reputation, she ......"
Listening to Mu Qingyao tell the story again, Mu Huaijin's eyebrows wrinkled into a dead knot, which was very different from the memory of his previous life......
"Sister, don't worry, you carefully explain everything."
An hour later, Mu Huaijin sat silent in the hall.
He couldn't remember many things clearly, but he still had some impressions of Mu Yunlan.
After the death of the third uncle and the third aunt, Mu Yunlan went to the temple to pray for blessings, and the fire in the temple caused a fire, although she was lucky not to die, she burned her body, and it is said that her arms and back were all scars.
Naturally, a woman with a damaged body cannot marry into the royal family, Concubine Jin is the main one to withdraw from the marriage of the three princes, but the three princes disagree, and because of this, they have been in trouble with Concubine Jin for a long time, which has attracted everyone in the world to praise the three princes for their affection and righteousness, making the title of the three princes more and more loud.
Not long after, Ding Yunfan, the only man in the third room, was lost when he went out to play during the Shangyuan Festival. In order to make Qingyao ascend, her mother drugged Mu Yunlan to go crazy, saying that she was overly stimulated because of sadness.
Concubine Jin withdrew from the marriage again, but the third prince still did not agree, but insisted on marrying her.
The emperor praised him for valuing love and righteousness, and personally decreed that Mu Yunlan would become a side concubine, and at the same time, he would marry Mu Qingyao to him as a concubine.
Qing Yao got her mother's instructions, and did not kill Mu Yunlan immediately after marriage, but did enough to treat her well and earn a good reputation.
As for a year later, who remembers a madman...... So, Mu Yunlan fell into the water and drowned......
And this time, Mu Yunlan actually escaped the fire in the temple and came back safely, even her temperament has become different, could it be that she was also reborn after death?
If so, then, she must die!
Seeing that the eldest brother was silent, Mu Qingyao felt uneasy: "Big brother ......"
Mu Huaijin came back to her senses, saw her anxious sister, and smiled gently at her: "Sister, don't worry, since the eldest brother is back, no one can bully you." ”
"Thank you, big brother." Mu Qingyao suddenly became happy, there is nothing that the eldest brother said that he couldn't do, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Grandfather said that tomorrow will set up a banquet for me to catch the wind and wash the dust, you go and tell the fourth sister in person, and ask her to bring Yun Fan with you."
By the way, there is also this Mu Yunfan, he actually stayed in Mu Mansion well, neither burned his throat because of the negligence of the maid, nor disappeared on the Shangyuan Festival, so let's see if there is any difference.
Mu Yunlan came back from the main courtyard and had been thinking about Mu Huaijin.
The Wu family has already gotten the news: "Miss, have you met the eldest young master?" ”
"Well, nurse, how much do you know about Mu Huaijin?"
Wu pondered for a moment: "For this eldest young master, the old slave doesn't know what to say, he has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he has a talent that he never forgets, and the old lady has praised him many times, and he is proud to have such a grandson." ”
"He can be literate and martial, his ideas are extremely right, and his methods are ruthless." Wu lowered his voice slightly, "Miss, do you know that in fact, in addition to Mu Wanyi, the second lady, there is also a young lady in the big house......"
Mu Yunlan carefully rummaged through her memories and nodded slightly: "I remember that it seems to be called Mu Wanfang." ”
"Well, yes, it is said that this young lady died of illness, in fact, the old slave heard some of it from the lady, this Miss Mu Wanfang complained to the eldest master, saying that the eldest lady mistreated her biological mother and aunt, and said that the eldest lady abused her, and it happened to be heard by the eldest young master, and the eldest young master ordered her to be disposed of."
"That Mu Wanfang was only eight years old when she died, even if she was a child, even if she sued, she would be childish, and the uncle wouldn't take it seriously, why should Mu Huaijin kill them all?"
"Big Young Master...... I have always looked down on my concubine ......"
Mu Yunlan narrowed her eyes, and the cold glow in her eyes flowed: "No wonder I think he looks at me so strangely today, it turns out that he looks down on my identity." Mu Wanfang was eight years old when she died, that is, seven years ago, at that time, Mu Huaijin was only twelve years old, right? ”
"Yes."
"Being able to order someone to kill at the age of twelve is really ruthless."
"Not only this one, not long after that, Mu Wanfang's biological mother, Aunt Ding, also followed, and she also fell ill and died violently."
Wu continued, "Five years ago, the eldest lord accepted a commoner woman into the mansion, because the woman was beautiful, and soon after entering the mansion, she became pregnant, the eldest lord was extremely favored, and the woman who was favored was extraordinarily arrogant, and later, relying on the child in the belly to disrespect the eldest young master, and then one corpse and two lives ......."
Mu Yunlan sneered: "It seems that I have to be careful and careful in the future, otherwise, I may not know when I will suddenly get sick and die." ”
She thought for a while and called Qingsleeve in: "Qingsleeve, from today onwards, you and Bizhu will take turns to protect Yun Fan inch by inch, and don't let him run around." ”
"Yes, miss." Qingsleeve hurriedly nodded in agreement.
In the early morning of the next day, a holy decree suddenly came, and Xuan Mu Huaijin entered the palace to meet him.
He stayed in the palace for most of the day, and it was not until it was dark that he came out of the palace, and the reception banquet was naturally delayed.
In the early morning of the next day, Mu Yunlan had just finished exercising, when she saw the nurse Wu hurriedly walking in.
"Miss, the wind direction in the imperial capital has changed today."
Mu Yunlan was wiping her sweat, looking at her solemn expression, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
In the past few days, there has been an uproar in the imperial capital because of the punishment of heaven, and the people have been living uneasy.
"Early this morning, someone found three words in a wheat field on the outskirts of the southern part of the city."
"What word?"
"Punish no minister!" Wu Shi accentuated his tone, "Now many people say that the successive visions before were not God's punishment for the emperor, but a warning to him, suggesting that some people in the court had a heart of disobedience. ”
"I didn't know God had this feature." Mu Yunlan sneered.
"There are four more sentences," Wu said in a deep voice, "the fire burns the apricot forest and cracks the stones, and the water falls three feet to the wheat field yellow." Heaven will not send a warning to warn, and eradicate the traitor and get clear. ”
"Eradicate the traitor?"
"These four sentences spread all over Kyoto overnight, and now, everyone's attention has been diverted, and they are speculating about who is the traitor with a heart of disobedience."
Mu Yunlan immediately thought of Yue Jingxuan, this time the vision from the sky should have been designed by him, in order to create some trouble for the emperor, and now, the emperor has reversed the situation, and the first one to target is him.
Bizhu walked in quickly: "Miss, just now an internal servant came to pass the decree, and the eldest young master is the doctor of the Wupin Dynasty, and he can walk in the palace at any time." The old lady was very happy, saying that she was going to hold a feast, firstly to catch the wind and wash the dust for the eldest young master, and secondly, to celebrate his entry into the court. ”
Mu Yunlan's pupils shrank suddenly, the imperial capital had just had a new direction, and Mu Huaijin was rewarded immediately, and he was directly crowned an official as a white body who did not pass the imperial examination.
"Prepare a congratulatory gift, the eldest brother has been made an official, and I, as a younger sister, will go to congratulate."
"Yes, miss."
Qi Shi looked at the holy decree in his hand, and smiled with a red face: "It really deserves to be my son, as soon as he returns to Beijing, he will be rewarded with an official position, and he will definitely rise to prominence in the future." ”
Mu Huaijin sat on the side and drank tea, his face did not have much joy, in his previous life, he was a marquis and worshiped the prime minister, and now he will naturally not be elated because of a small five-grade official position.
"Mother, I came back this time and brought a lot of gifts from Jiangnan, and I have already sent the share of my grandfather and grandmother, and you can divide the rest. By the way, I will personally send it to the fourth sister. ”
Mu Qingyao's face was full of displeasure when she heard this: "Big brother, why do you bother to give Mu Yunlan face like this?" ”
Mu Huaijin looked at her disapprovingly: "Qingyao, as a woman, you must be generous and virtuous, no matter what happens, you must not be sexual, understand?" ”
Mu Qingyao didn't dare to refute, but her face was full of disapproval.
Mu Huaijin frowned, in her previous life, her sister walked extremely smoothly all the way, and many things were not revealed. Now, just suffering some setbacks, I have changed my temperament a little, such a temperament, how can I afford the position of the mother of a country in the future?
"Qing Yao, after tomorrow's banquet, you will copy the scriptures behind closed doors, don't copy the white scrolls of Buddhist scriptures, and don't come out."
"Mother," Mu Qingyao was dumbfounded, "Can you listen to what the eldest brother said?" "Hundreds of Buddhist scriptures, don't you have to copy them for a few months?
Qi was also a little reluctant: "Huai Jin, this ......"
"Mother," Mu Huaijin had a firm attitude, "My sister's temperament needs to be sharpened, if she doesn't hone it now, will she be someone else's whetstone in the future?" ”
Qi Shi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily: "Qingyao, what your eldest brother said is good, just do what he says." ”
"Mother, eldest brother, it doesn't matter how many times I copy the Buddhist scriptures, as long as I can save my reputation," Mu Qingyao swallowed all the unwillingness with tears in her eyes, "It's just that what's the use of transcending the scriptures, and it can't be done to ask the Bodhisattva for forgiveness?" ”
"Put away your tears," Mu Huaijin looked at her indifferently, "The more timid you are to cry, the more others will remember your ugliness, you are generous and light-hearted, but others dare not look down on you." Tomorrow's banquet, no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to laugh, the more generous and bright the smile, the better. ”
Mu Qingyao looked at him stupidly: "Big brother, is this okay?" ”
"Don't worry, Big Brother will not only restore your reputation, but also take your reputation to the next level!"
