Chapter 17 Aunt Wen

stayed overnight at the racecourse, Lu Qingfeng was dealing with business all night, and the officials below handed in a lot of folds, as if the matter was more urgent, Yuan Muqing listened to Lu Qingfeng and went to sleep first.

When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found that Lu Qingfeng was still looking at the excerpts, Yuan Muqing was hazy and awake, there was no study in the racecourse, and Lu Qingfeng could only read the excerpts in the room.

Yuan Muqing took a cloak and draped it on Lu Qingfeng's shoulders.

"What's the matter, woke you up?" Lu Qingfeng grabbed Yuan Muqing's hand on his shoulder and touched his little wife's head dotingly.

"No, it's just awake, I'll accompany you." Yuan Muqing poured two glasses of water and sat with Lu Qingfeng, he didn't refuse, thinking that he would finish reading it quickly, and he would finalize the matter early tomorrow morning.

Yuan Muqing had nothing to do, so he stared at Lu Qingfeng to look at the excerpts, his serious expression seemed to make Yuan Muqing imagine how the prime minister who scolded Fang Xuan handled official business.

Well, it must be handsome.

She didn't know what was going on, maybe she was used to Lu Qingfeng being by her side, sleeping in an empty bed alone, and a strange bed, she would wake up in the middle of the night.

Yuan Muqing sat at the table, tired during the day, rode a horse in the afternoon, watched the fireworks at night, was already very tired, sleepiness hit, she supported her head with her right hand, and slowly closed her eyes.

Just when Yuan Muqing's head was about to hit the table, Lu Qingfeng scooped her up, her sleepy eyes were hazy, and she hooked her hand on Lu Qingfeng's shoulder in a daze, letting him hold it.

"You're done," she asked, not opening her eyes, not very conscious.

"Well, let's sleep." Yuan Muqing's head was very close to Lu Qingfeng's chest, and he spoke deliberately softly and quietly, and the resonant sound between his chest aroused her a new round of sleepiness.

Early the next day, Yuan Muqing sent Lu Qingfeng to the court, yesterday she saw Uncle Wang, thinking that she hadn't gone home to see her father for a long time, so she asked Lu Qingfeng to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion directly after the matter was over.

The racecourse is far away from Yuanfu, and it was almost noon after Yuan Muqing finished arranging the racecourse, so he ended everything and took the leaves back to Yuanfu in a carriage.

Like usually looking for a shop and returning home, Yuan Muqing went to the backyard to find his father as soon as he returned home. Since Yuan Yi was promoted to general, there have been fewer things to lead troops to fight, and when he is older, he has been at home many times when he has left the court, practicing swords in the backyard, raising flowers, and cultivating his temperament.

Seeing his daughter come back, Yuan Yi was very happy, just about to have lunch, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to arrange the kitchen to cook Yuan Muqing's favorite dishes, and his favorite snacks were also made, and he took them away when Yuan Muqing went back.

"Why didn't Qingfeng accompany you, did he bully you" Yuan Yi saw his daughter go home alone, thinking that the stinky-faced son-in-law had bullied his baby daughter.

"No, he's been busy lately, I bought a horse farm, and when I saw Uncle Wang, I suddenly wanted to come back and have a look." Yuan Muqing talked to his father about family life, and he also talked and laughed during meals.

After finishing the meal, the people brought tea, Yuan Muqing told his father about the new house of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that Yuan Yi had time to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to play, she took care of everything there in an orderly manner, and hoped that her father could also come to visit the garden.

While he was talking, someone came up to spread the word that the aunt of the Wen family was here. Yuan Muqing was happy in his heart and ran to the door to greet him in person. Aunt Wen is the sister of her deceased mother, since the death of her mother, this aunt often takes care of her, when she was a child, her father was not at home all the year round, she went to this aunt's house except in the house.

Later, my uncle was transferred out of the capital and worked as an official in a state and county not far from the capital, so she rarely saw her aunt, but she still often received food and clothes from her aunt, and she was full of love and gratitude for this aunt.

At the gate, Yuan Muqing saw his aunt who he hadn't seen for a long time, and there was a man and a woman standing behind him, the male was slightly longer, it should be his cousin Wen Xi who played with him when he was a child, and the younger one should be his cousin Wen Ning who he hugged when he was a child.

happily stepped forward to take her aunt's hand, and her aunt instantly turned red and looked at her lovingly.

"Qing'er has grown up."

Yuan Muqing hadn't seen his aunt for a long time, and he didn't expect his aunt to come suddenly. While holding his aunt's hand and walking to the house, he reminisced with his aunt.

"Qing'er misses her aunt very much, a few days ago I got married and sent someone to send a wedding card to my aunt, why didn't my aunt come." Aunt Wen looked embarrassed, and casually found an excuse to prevaricate. "Your uncle is sick, and I have to take care of it at home."

Yuan Muqing saw his aunt's embarrassment, didn't ask any more questions, and only led the three of them to the front hall.

My aunt was born beautiful and married to the uncle of the Wen family, but the uncle is a literati, and she doesn't like a general like her father, and she doesn't like Yuan Muqing, a child who has no mother, every time she goes to her aunt's house, she can hear the quarrel between her uncle and her aunt in the study, and then she stopped going to the Wen family for a reason, she knew that she went to the Wen family, and the uncle was unwilling.

Now that she is the prime minister's wife, it is possible that her uncle does not want her aunt to come to the wedding banquet, after all, her uncle is a literati, and he is a little high, and he doesn't want to be said by others to be attached to the powerful.

Yuan Yi saw that his deceased wife's sister was coming, and he also instructed his subordinates to treat them as honored guests. During the greetings, Yuan Yi asked the reason why the mother and son of the Wen family came to Beijing.

Mrs. Wen and her son Wen Xi are both divided, facing each other, and they don't know how to talk about it.

"That's the case, our master heard that the imperial court will select a group of officials in the near future, and I want Xi'erjing to try it." Wen Xi lowered his head in shame, he had no intention of pursuing a career, but his father was bent on forcing him, how dare he disobey his parents' orders.

Yuan Muqing saw this situation, and made things clear in his heart, the uncle of the Wen family definitely didn't want to come to the door in person, so he asked the aunt who was kind to the Yuan family to come forward, but whether this was a stay here, or wanted to dredge up the relationship through his father or Lu Qingfeng, Yuan Muqing couldn't guess, but her favorite aunt came to see her, and she didn't want to think so much.

Yuan Muqing didn't ask any more questions and diverted the topic.

"It's good that my aunt is here, this is Cousin Wenning." Hearing this, the aunt smiled and gently pushed her little daughter, and said, "Ning'er came to greet my uncle and cousin." ”

Wen Ning reluctantly stepped forward to say goodbye, with an arrogant attitude, and the aunt saw that the little daughter had a very bad attitude, so she hurriedly said: "This child has been spoiled by me since he was a child, and he has no shape. Yuan Muqing didn't show it on her face, but she felt that this cousin was more like an uncle, and her cousin was submissive, and her temperament was like an aunt.

Yuan Muqing didn't care much about these etiquette rules, Wen Ning was her aunt's daughter, and she was younger than herself, she didn't put it in her heart, and she was still polite to her cousin, but she couldn't get close.

Aunt Yuan's father and daughter chatted about family life, it was getting late, Yuan Muqing took them to the guest room that had been cleaned to live, although there was a vacant room in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now it was too late to send someone to clean, so they lived in the Yuan Mansion first, anyway, the two mansions were not far apart, and the carriage arrived in less than a moment.

It's almost cleaned up, and it's not too early, it's time for Yuan Muqing to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Auntie, I have to go back, you can bring your cousin and cousin to play in the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, I still have a lot to say to you." Yuan Muqing is really reluctant to give up her aunt, she has no mother since she was a child, and her aunt treats her with all her heart.

Aunt Wen responded repeatedly, Yuan Muqing didn't let her aunt come out to send it, and was about to get into the carriage, but was stopped by Wen Xi.

"Is there something wrong with my cousin?"

"Hmm...... My cousin bothered you, in fact, my mother and I didn't want to trouble you and my uncle, but my father insisted on forcing me to enter politics, and I was helpless...... It's bothered. Wen Xi liked to play with this cousin since he was a child, but his father thought she was vulgar and rude, and he was not allowed to be close to this cousin.

But Wen Xi didn't find anything rude about Yuan Muqing when he was a child, but he never cried and made a fuss, was quiet and sensible, and was cuter than other people's sisters in the private school. What he didn't expect was that this cousin actually married the prime minister of the dynasty and became the prime minister's wife.

Yuan Muqing looked at his cousin, he was exactly the same as when he was a child, and his personality had not changed. She blessed her body, thinking that the sun was about to set if she continued to greet her, and hurriedly said:

"Cousin, just take your aunt over to the house tomorrow to play, no formality, it's not early, I'll go back." After saying that, she got into the carriage, and now she only wanted to hurry back to the house, but she had promised the prime minister. Lu Qingfeng slept late last night, and he had to make up for his stewed soup today.

Nanfu

Since Fang Manzhu was carried into the Nan family, Nan Yitian has been staying in her Yinfeng Courtyard, although Nan Yitian has many concubines, but looking at the entire Nanfu, except for the lady of the main house, there is no one who is comparable to her Fang Manzhu. Most of the rest of the concubines were from ordinary families and were sent in as gifts by others, but the funny thing is that she Fang Manzhu is not a stepping stone for her father.

Although she is now favored by Nan Yitian, if she wants to last a long time, she must also sit in the position of the hostess of Nanfu, Fang Manzhu knew before that Nan Yitian married Zhan Qing of Dingyuan Wangfu, and the sister of the current Dingyuan Wang Zhan Chen. And now this woman's status is even more difficult to shake, just because Zhan Qing is now pregnant with Nan Yitian's child.

If Fang Manzhu wants to do something, he must get rid of this child.

She wanted to do it several times, but Zhan Qing's eyes were vicious, although she didn't shoot directly, she wanted to borrow the knives of other fools in the house to kill people, but she didn't succeed.

Fang Manzhu put down the cup in his hand, and was thinking about how to do Zhan Qing when Nan Yitian suddenly opened the door and came in.

"Yi Tian, you're back." Although Fang Manzhu didn't like Nan Yitian, he still had to please him in every possible way. Nan Yitian stopped him, and with a little effort in his hands, Fang Manzhu said in pain, "Yi Tian, you hurt me." ”

The posture is natural and coquettish, and it is impossible to make things possible, and anyone who sees it feels pity.

Nan Yitian suddenly leaned down, Fang Manzhu took advantage of the situation to touch his face with his hand, but Nan Yitian didn't want to be warm with her, he smiled evilly and spoke slowly.

"Little baby, you may not know the rules when you first came, I will only tell you once, you remember it obediently." As he spoke, he imprinted a kiss on Fang Manzhu's lips, like playing with a plaything, he twisted Fang Manzhu's broken hair and wrapped it around his fingertips, although his attitude was very gentle, it made Fang Manzhu shudder.
