Mu Jizhong found King Xin, and King Xin was setting off for the Ministry of Rites. Mu Jizhong stopped King Xin at the door and greeted him politely, but King Xin was in a hurry to go out, and left in a hurry after saying another time. When he went for the second time, King Xin saw Mu Jizhong, Mu Jizhong was in the way, did not directly explain his intention, and after talking nonsense for a long time, Mu Jizhong finally began to vomit bitterness, and also climbed out Mu Xiangwan and Huaxi, and made friends with King Xin.

King Xin yawned, "I heard that the old lady is seriously ill, and the Hou Ye is serving in the mansion, and his filial piety is commendable." I don't think Hou Ye needs to think too much. Besides, Hou Ye was busy with official affairs in the past, and it was inevitable that he would be a little negligent in family affairs, so it was better to take this opportunity to take a good look, lest some people deceive their superiors and subordinates, do something that should not be done, and ruin the reputation of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. The hour is not early, I sent someone here to prepare some supplements, please take them back to the old lady. Today, I have to discuss with the Ministry of Rites and the people who make offerings in person, and I can't accompany you, so forgive me. ”

Mu Jizhong was excited, secretly wondering if he had neglected something, and when he saw King Xin sending off guests, he didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly returned to Mu Ji's mansion to find Mu Jixiao, and asked the third lady about her birthday that day, but what else happened. Mu Jixiao didn't know much, Mu Jizhong knew that this matter was related to the survival of the Hou Mansion, and said a few heavy words, which made Mu Jixiao stunned for a while, and hurriedly went to find the Chen family to ask for an understanding. At this time, Mu Jizhong learned that Huaxi was designed, and he was immediately furious, asked for family law, and beat Yun Lin and Yun Ning.

Yun Lin couldn't stand the board and pulled out Mu Xiu.

Mu Jizhong didn't expect his eldest son to participate in it, he couldn't breathe and fainted. After waking up, he grabbed Mu Xiu and scolded him, and let people beat Mu Xiu half to death. The Yin family and the Zhao family cried and begged, but Mu Jizhong did not move at all, made an iron face, scolded Mu Xiu for being a bastard, and dragged his family into a dead end.

Mu Xiucai said that King Ping instructed him to do it. Mu Jizhong gritted his teeth and scolded: "Idiot, don't you want to think about who King Xin is, who can allow you to bully his only daughter like this?" There is also Du Jin, who is cold and ruthless, suffers this loss, and pretends to be okay to respond to the family matter, and loses face, he still doesn't know how to make up for it behind his back. Why didn't you tell me earlier? King Ping, King Ping wants you to die, why don't you die? People use you as a raft, and you still think that you have taken advantage of it, and you are not angry, and you will make me angry to death."

At this time, Mu Jizhong understood that all this was King Xin's revenge on the Mu family's actions to Huaxi. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, his chest hunched together. Yin stepped forward to persuade Mu Jizhong to relax.

Mu Jizhong said angrily: "If your mother is a loser, you will help them deceive their subordinates and be fathers to take revenge on our family, and when there is no such brocade and jade food in the future, I see that you are still proud."

Yin choked, "It's better to let the second brother and the second brother and sister go to find the fifth sister, and see if you can let the fifth sister go and talk to Huaxi, it's really not good, Tuo Yunyi can beg Luodong Wang Shi." ”

Mu Jizhong sighed, "Now there is only this way, hey" Even if he doesn't like the people in the second room, but the current situation of Mufu can't help him despise the second room, not to mention that the big room and the third room are unlucky at this time, only the second room that is good for Huaxi is not involved in the slightest.

Mu Jizhong and Yin's begged for the second room, and Mu Jiren naturally responded on his face. Liu went to find Mu Xiangqing and told him what the family meant.

"They still have faces?" Mu Xiangqing said angrily, "I knew why I had to be here today"

"I also know that I don't have the face to beg Huaxi to forgive them now, but after all, it is a family, and your second brother can't watch the fall of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and in the end, he can't even keep the title."

Mu Xiangqing said: "I won't embarrass my sister-in-law, I'll go back to Huaxi and say, as for what King Xin's side plans, it's not up to me and other women to control, let them do it themselves." Also, you go back and tell the second brother that Yunyi is not in good health, and now the child is still raised by the concubine, so don't bother her with these things, it will backfire and make the world unhappy. ”

Liu said: "I'll tell your second brother." ”

"I think that when this matter is over, the old lady will be better in a few days, you should still divide it, and be in the same place with those two families, I am afraid that there will be more troubles in the future."

Liu took note of Mu Xiangqing's words and got up to leave.

Mu Xiangqing talked to Huaxi and told her what Mu Fu begged for, but she didn't say anything to ask her to forgive, only that she was always wronged.

Huaxi thanked Mu Xiangqing for his kindness to her, and did not deny that King Xin wanted to rectify the affairs of the Mu family, "I will leave in a few days, and the affairs of the Mu family will no longer have anything to do with me." As for whether they can resume their official positions in the future, I don't have the final say...... I don't think they will be the masters of living in peace according to their nature......"

The punishment of losing office is already the lightest. As for Yun Lin and Yun Ning, there are some things that she has to bear since she has done them, and she will not intercede for them. Not letting the Mu family ruin was already a concession from King Xin, and all this was just their own fault.

Later, Mu Jizhong and Mu Jiren went to find the king of Luodong, Mu Jiren fooled a few sentences, and comforted Mu Jizhong and asked him to think about it in the long run. Mu Jizhong knew that now on the cusp of the storm, there was no hope of restoring his official position, so he had to accept his fate, just thinking that after King Xin left, his life would be better. In addition, there was no news from Du Jin's side for a long time, and Mu Jizhong had no bottom in his heart, so he sent someone to Qizhou to inquire about the news of Du Jin. As a result, the person who went to inquire came back and said that Du Jin's mother was not sick, but pretended to be sick after getting the news that Du Jin sent back, and did not let Du Jin marry the young lady of the Mu family. Mu Jizhong has one head and two big heads, and he only thinks that Yunlin's family affairs are afraid of twists and turns.

Five days later, Mu Jiren left Shangjing under the pretext of returning to office, and took Liu's son and daughter-in-law back to Yuzhou together.

At the end of February, the ice on the Kunyu River melted.

On the first day of March, the Xiyue delegation left Shangjing. The family sending team first took a boat to the west to Bozhou, then turned north to Lingzhou by land, and then returned to Xiyue by way of Qizhou.

From the palace to the wharf on the ten miles of red makeup, the emperor sent it off with half a battle, hundreds of officials sent it off, the ladies of various prefectures in Beijing went to watch the ceremony, and the wedding ceremony of Princess Jincheng was carried out for a full hour.

After the princess boarded the ship, the wind was curling and the fragrance was wafting for ten miles.

The send-off ship was the first, followed by the wedding ship, and then the ship of the Xiyue Mission.

Huaxi stood on the pier and said goodbye to Mu Xiangqing, Liu's mother and Lilac, looked back at Dahua's Wayu house, turned around and waited for the ship to leave Shangjing, where she had lived for fourteen years, and embarked on a journey to Xiyue.

Huaxi, who took a boat for the first time in two generations, was still a little excited at the beginning, thinking that he could see the scenery along the way on the boat, but when the boat left Shangjing and entered the main channel of the Lanjiang River, it disappeared. Huaxi began to get seasick and vomited profusely. Susukino Nobu had a seasickness medicine for him, and Huaxi was a little better after taking it, but he could only lie in the cabin and be groggy, and he couldn't even go up to the deck, let alone see the scenery.

Huaxi lay down for three days, and wanted to go ashore and walk when he arrived at the town of Three Rivers to replenish. Susukino Shin said that there was chaos on the shore and she was not allowed to go ashore, so Hanaxi had to breathe on the deck.

March is cold and the wind is still a little cold.

Huaxi couldn't help but tuck her clothes, her whole face sank into the fur collar, and she said depressedly: "Don't wait for the boat to stop this way, let alone watch the scenery." ”

Cui Ming took the cloak and put it on Huaxi, "The girl is not used to taking a boat, and after taking the medicine, she will get used to it in a few days, and she may be better." ”

Huaxi pouted, "Wait a minute, maybe it's all in Bozhou." ”

The two stood at the bow of the boat and watched for a while, Huaxi saw Mu Xi coming from the shore and wondered, "When will this girl come ashore?" ”

Cui Ming said: "Just now, the princess's boat ride in front of her had a maid who said that the princess gave a little bit to the girl, and asked someone to send someone to pick it up." I let the wood rhino go. ”

After standing for two moments, the bow of the boat was windy, and Huaxi returned to the cabin.

Mu Xi had already put the dim sum given by Jin Cheng on the table, and when he saw Huaxi coming back, he took a sweet white porcelain box from his arms and handed it to Huaxi.

Huaxi was puzzled, "What is this?" ”

Mu Xi smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "On the way back just now, I met Ouyang Shi and Yin Shi, Ouyang Shi heard that the girl was seasick, so he asked a few words by the way. When the slave and maid were about to come back, Ouyang Shi sent someone to give this to the slave and maid, saying that it was touched on people and temples and could cure seasickness. ”()
