Chapter 65: Afterword
The Nankunyu River in Shangjing City meanders for more than ten miles and extends to the Taiye Pond in the outer city. At night, look at the fire on the river from afar, and only then do you see that it is the flower boat that comes and goes on the river, the sound of the piano and the sheng and the drum comes from the river, and sometimes there are the songs and swallows of the warbler, and the colorful is the gentle hometown of countless night tourists. In the second half of the night, the flower boats sailed away, and the hustle and bustle was hidden in the dark night.
As dawn approached, a light mist rose on the surface of the river, which spread all the way to the city.
The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and I saw a carriage breaking through the morning fog in the direction of Zhengyang Street.
"Phewβ" There was a long shout, followed by the neighing of the horses, and the carriage shook and stopped.
"What happened?" A man in a deep voice in the car asked with a little anger.
"Young master, there is a person lying on the road." The handlebar type had already jumped off the wheel, and he could see clearly that it was a person lying in front of him.
"I'm afraid it's a drunkard sleeping on the street......" another lazy voice came softly from inside the car, "moved to the side of the street." β
"Huh-" The handlebar stepped forward and turned over the man to see the surprise sound, and hurriedly put down the man and ran back to the car, "The king of the county, the young master, the person who fainted on the street is Mu Jiren, the third master of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and he has internal injuries on his body......"
The curtain of the car opened, and a look of doubt appeared on Yin Chengzong's handsome face, and he asked again: "Can you see it clearly?" β
"I see it clearly."
Yin Chengzong said: "Go, carry people up first." β
"Wait-" A hand stopped him, Ouyang Zheng poked his head out and looked around, and glanced at the handlebar, the handlebar type understood, and in a flash, the person was gone. After a moment, he returned to the car and shook his head.
Ouyang Zheng said at this time: "Carry it up, go directly to Mufu." β
The coachman lifted Mu Jiren into the car, and the carriage started again.
In the car, Ouyang Zheng put one hand on Mu Jiren's wrist, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Yin Chengzong: "I did have internal injuries, and I didn't ...... seriously."
Is it just that after being beaten with internal injuries, did you pass out on the street or was you thrown onto the street?
Yin Chengzong no longer had the laziness he used to be just now, his eyebrows frowned, "How did he get to the street, only he can know when he wakes up." β
Ouyang Zheng took out a porcelain bottle from the small cabinet in the carriage, poured a pill for Mu Jiren to take, and poured him a glass of water.
"Ahem, this is ......" Mu Jiren saw Yin Chengzong and Ouyang Zheng as soon as he opened his eyes, "King Chengjun?" Ouyang Shi? How am I ......?"
Yin Chengzong leaned back lazily and glanced at Mu Jiren, "Filial piety is drunk on the street, where is Mu Sanye singing?" β
Mu Jiren moved slightly, his whole body ached, recalling that he came out of Chen's room yesterday, he was depressed and went out to drink, and met the enemy Fu San, and then said that he wanted to make amends for his sins and invite him to go to the flower boat, and congratulated himself on the Mu family's birth of a concubine, he only regarded Fu San as a snob, and he was afraid that his family would respond. Before he got on the boat, the two talked a lot, and then he drank too much and became ignorant again......
"Is it Fu Three? It must be that guy behind the scenes! Mu Jiren shouted, only to feel that his chest was suffocating, and he spat out the dirty blood.
"Fu Three? But the younger brother of Mrs. Fu of the Thai Palace? Ouyang Zheng asked, and threw a handkerchief to Mu Jiren, "The blood has come out, and you can recover when you go back to the house and let the doctor recuperate." β
"Exactly! Thank you to King Chengjun and Ouyang Shi for saving me. Mu Jiren gradually gained strength, and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Ouyang Zheng and Yin Chengzong glanced at each other, only to see that the other party was gloomy, and they knew that the two of them thought of one place.
Chen Hongfei had just married the four girls of Mufu, and he was drunk during the filial piety period, so that the imperial history knew that Chen Hongfei would also be affected. And this matter involves the Thai royal palace...... Is it hard to guarantee that it won't be used as a stamp?
"But there are still familiar people who know that you drank flower wine with Fu San last night?"
Ouyang Zheng's expression was serious, Mu Jiren was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and shook his head, "No, it was late at that time, and there were no guests in the cyclamen, and Fu San and I didn't know anything before we arrived at the place, so he must have done it on the road." β
"That's fine. I remember that after returning home, I only said that I met you in the cyclamen last night, and I invited you to stay in the palace for one night in the evening. β
Although Mu Jiren is ridiculous, he has heard of intrigue in the court, and he has seen it, and Yin Chengzong mentioned it, he understood it and hurriedly thanked him.
Yin Chengzong waved his hand, "Wang Shi Luoxi only made a marriage with the fourth girl of your family yesterday, you should be cautious as an uncle, don't affect the family later......"
Mu Jiren was embarrassed and silent, and the three of them were silent all the way until they arrived at Mu's house.
Ouyang Zheng let the handlebar type drive the car to the back door, and then knocked on the door and looked for someone from Mufu to pick up people. put down Mu Jiren, and the two left in a hurry.
The old lady thought that the husband and wife didn't care about the quarrel, and didn't want Chen to run to her house early the next morning to cry, saying that Mu Jiren would not return all night. The old lady realized that something was wrong. was about to send someone to look for him, but when he heard the news that Mu Jiren was injured and returned home, he was so frightened that he almost fainted. After relieving herself, the old lady was so anxious that Chen didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly helped the old lady to move to see Mu Jiren.
Mu Jiren followed Yin Chengzong's instructions and did not tell the old lady and the Chen family the truth. But the old lady, who has been a person for many years, couldn't see that Mu Jiren was lying, so she found an excuse to send Chen and the people in the house out, and asked the matter clearly. The more the old lady listened, the more angry she became, and she almost didn't slap Mu Jiren, and only after hearing that Mu Jiren was rescued by King Chengjun and Ouyang Shi did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"This matter will be done according to what King Chengjun said, and no one can say anything if he is bitten to death. You bastard, how dare you mess around during the filial piety period, and you don't think there are enough things in the house, are you looking forward to your eldest brother being deprived of you to be satisfied? Without the title, do you think you can keep what you have now? Can you still live here with peace of mind? β
Xiao Shi looked at Xiao'er angry and distressed, but because he was seriously injured, he couldn't move, so he held his cane and knocked on the edge of the bed.
Taken by his mother's majesty, Mu Jiren couldn't help but shrink his neck, "Mother, the child knows that he is wrong. The child was bored last night, so he ate a few more glasses of wine, and he will not ....... again."
Xiao Shi said angrily: "Do you want to have a next time? β
Mu Jiren shook his head sneeringly, "No, no, no." β
Xiao Shi sighed helplessly, "Although King Chengjun and Ouyang Shi are not familiar with our Mu family, because of Chen Shi, they have maintained you, but the love of saving you should be reciprocated." Nowadays, it is not appropriate to give gifts rashly, but it is true. When you recover, let your eldest brother borrow the name of my old woman to make a birthday in advance, and invite the two of them to come to the house to sit down. β
Xiao called Chen in again and asked about the quarrel last night. Mu Jiren was injured, where did the Chen family dare to say that Mu Jiren was not. Mu Jiren didn't want the old lady to know that he was still thinking about the concubine of the King of Thailand, and the two tacitly talked nonsense, and Xiao didn't bother to study deeply, pretending to be confused and reprimanded two sentences, and told Mu Jiren to take care of his injuries and left.
Chen was frightened, Mu Jiren had something in his heart, and the couple stopped mentioning last night's topic, and they were safe for a while.
Mu Jiren's injury Xiao said to the people in the family that he accidentally fell, and people who are interested can always see some clues and know that it is the old lady who covers up.
The twenty-eighth of the month is the old lady's tenth birthday, last year the old marquis died less than 100 days, the old lady did not have a birthday, the title of the matter is not accurate, the family did not even eat in one place.
At that time, Huaxi had just arrived at Mu's house, so she didn't attend, but just gave a few incense products as a birthday gift.
Although there was no filial piety this year, the old lady notified each room in advance, and the twenty-eight was not a big deal, only two tables of wine were set up in her own home, and the family gathered together.
Huaxi got the news and prepared two pairs of satin-embroidered slippers and two lavender incense for the old lady's birthday.
On the twenty-fourth, Huaxi was embroidering the peony picture in the house, and Mu Xi hurriedly came back from outside, and went straight into the house to look for her, "Girl, girl-"
The red willow in the outhouse snorted, "What kind of body is it that is frizzy?" Something to say slowly. β
Mu Xi stopped, his face was extremely excited, "Sister Hongliu, when I return to the girl, you say that you will punish you?" β
"Mu Xi, come in and talk back." Huaxi heard Mu Xi's voice and called her into the house.
The wooden rhino stuck out his tongue at the red willow and stepped into the house.
As soon as Mu Xi stood still, the lady who was sweeping outside suddenly came to report that the fifth girl was coming.
Huaxi waved her hand, got up and said, "You wait, the fifth girl is gone, you can talk about it." Recently, Mu Yunxin came to her courtyard, although she just sat and chatted casually, but Huaxi was always wary of this seemingly weak fifth sister.
"Yes!" Wood rhinoceros promised.
While speaking, the five girls had already entered the house.
"Fifth sister, sit!" Huaxi invited Yun Xin to sit down.
Yun Xin sat down and said, "Huaxi, I went back and tried your method of incense through the fire, which is really good." It's just not as good as what you do, the ash pad is either less or more, five times can be one, and it will burn for an hour. β
"My sister has only listened to me a few times to be able to do this, which is good." These days, Yunxin asked Huaxi about incense making, and she picked out some rough answers that were not very important, she didn't dare to guarantee that Yunxin's move had no purpose, it was purely curious.
Yun Xin pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "Hey, the law is good, but the incense I have there is not agreeable." β
It turned out that I came to borrow incense this time.
Huaxi smiled and asked, "I don't know what kind of fragrance my sister wants?" β
Yun Xin thought for a while, "Well, do you have the apricot fragrance that you presented to Concubine Xian last time and the remaining Xiaomei fragrance made for the third brother?" I'd like to try both. β
