Chapter 68: The Draft Begins

Mu Qingwan sighed about Jin Ling'er's affairs, it was really a scripture that was difficult to read.

The carriage turned around near Tongren Academy, which was some distance away from the downtown area, and the surrounding environment was very quiet, and there was no foothold around.

"Sister, did you say that the itchy powder has an effect?"

Mu Yan still had a few people punished by Mu Qingwan in his heart, and he didn't know if it would have any effect now.

"It's still early, it won't take effect until the evening."

The carriage entered directly from the side gate of the Anping Marquis Mansion, and the group did not stop, and returned to Hanxiangyuan, so they did not pay attention to the bustle in the front yard.

"Sister, where did you and your brother go?"

As soon as Mu Qingwan entered Mrs. Mu's room, a meat ball was hung on her leg, and Mu Lan hugged Mu Qingwan's leg and didn't let go.

"Ah Lan, my sister bought you a sugar gourd, do you want it?"

Mu Qingwan shook the sugar gourd that Hu Zhao bought halfway in front of Mu Lan's eyes.

Mu Lan's eyes swirled around with the sugar gourd.

"Yes!"

The fat dumpling let go of Mu Qingwan's legs, said crisply in his mouth, and stretched out his little short hand to take it. Then he held the sugar gourd and licked it carefully, smiling like a stealing kitten.

Mu Qingwan's heart was cute, and she pinched Mu Lan's chubby face dotingly.

"Mother, we're back."

"Coming back? It's going to be dinner in a little while, and your dad is coming back soon. ”

Since Mu Erye was officially appointed, people have become busy. Although, Mu Qingwan felt that Emperor Jianye gave his father the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry was a bit inexplicable, after all, Mu Erye had no performance in this area before, and it was estimated that there was a vacancy somewhere, so Emperor Jianye easily arranged Mu Erye.

"Mother, where is my brother? But still studying? ”

Mu Chen will take the exam in March next year, and now he is reading books whenever he has time.

"I said I went out with your second cousin to meet friends, and I haven't come back yet."

"Oh."

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and after a while, Mu Chen came back, and followed Wang Chengbin and Wang Chengwen.

"Auntie, we're here for dinner."

"This child, you are here, my aunt is happy."

Mrs. Mu immediately instructed the to add a few dishes to dinner.

The cousins and sisters quickly got together, Wang Chengbin followed Mu Chen back to the study, and Wang Chengwen stayed to play with Mu Qingwan and the others.

"Cheng Yue still wants to come along, but he has a cold, so he can only stay in the house honestly."

Wang Chengwen said to Mu Qingwan.

"Is Cousin Cheng Yue's wind chill bad? Does it matter? ”

Wang Chengyue was still very young and couldn't stand being sick, Mu Qingwan remembered that the original body died because of the wind and cold, so she came here later.

"It's much better, no fever, but coughing very badly."

"I just sent Chuanbei loquat cream from my shop, and when you leave, take some back, it's very effective in treating cough."

Mu Qingwan instructed Su Mei to take a look, has the Chuanbei loquat paste been sent to Hanxiangyuan, and when the time comes, prepare some for Wang Chengwen to take back to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

"Chuanbei loquat ointment, is it true? I heard the doctor say that this is very effective in treating cough, but this is only sold in Jiangnan, and the doctor said that it was a pity. I didn't expect my cousin to have it here. Grandfather and grandmother will be very happy to find out. ”

Wang Chengwen looked at Mu Qingwan with admiration.

"What's this, Chuanbei loquat paste is sold in my sister's store, but it's too late this year, so the quantity is limited. By the time it comes next year, it won't be these amounts, and maybe by then, there will be sales in the capital. ”

Mu Yan proudly showed off to Wang Chengwen, with the posture of a sister.

"Cousin is so powerful, this will be."

"Of course, my sister's medical skills are very good."

……

Mu Qingwan looked at Wang Chengwen and Mu Yan talking back and forth, and then looked at Mu Lan, who was sitting on the carpet, licking his face of sugar stains and indulging in it, and shook his head helplessly.

Mu Qingwan leaned on the soft couch and squinted to rest.

When Second Master Mu came back, he saw this scene.

"Daddy." "Uncle."

Mu Yan saw Second Master Mu coming back, and Wang Chengwen also ran over to greet him politely.

Second Master Mu scooped up Mu Lan and wiped the saliva on Mu Lan's face.

"Mother, Daddy is back."

"Okay, everyone, let's eat, draw a fan, and call the eldest young master."

Mrs. Mu came out of the inner room.

A meal is a great pleasure.

"By the way, uncle, aunt, it's going to be a draft in a month, and Cousin Yun of my aunt's family is also in the election."

Wang Chengbin mentioned the draft.

"Yun'er?"

Mrs. Mu was eating, but it was Second Master Mu who asked about it.

"Well, my aunt has rarely walked around the General's Mansion over the years, and she only comes to the Mansion once during the New Year's holidays. Cousin Yun's participation in the draft was still known by her mother from other wives. By the way, I came this time, and my mother explained that I would let you have time to go back to the General's Mansion for a while. ”

"Well, I know, let's eat first, I'll go back tomorrow and make another trip."

Mrs. Mu nodded in response, although there was nothing out of the ordinary. But Mu Qingwan felt that her mother seemed to have something on her mind, and she also had doubts about this aunt she had never met, and she always felt that there should be something wrong with it.

Mu Qingwan quietly glanced at Mu Chen, and Mu Chen gave a look back, meaning that he would tell you later. Mu Qingwan received the signal, so she continued to bow her head to eat, her brother Mu Chen is not a person who only reads sage books, in fact, he is very gossipy, and a lot of gossip knows.

"The ages of Qingyin and Qingjia are also among the candidates, I don't know if the names are written or not."

Second Master Mu changed the topic and talked about the two daughters of Dafang.

The draft is generally held once every three years, and the show girl is a woman who has not yet decided between the ages of thirteen and seventeen, and now Mu Qingyin is sixteen years old, and Mu Qingjia is fourteen years old, both of whom are among the candidates, but only one place is reported in each house, so the list of Anping Hou Mansion is generated among two people.

"Qingyin, after all, she worships the Buddha with the Queen Mother all the year round, and it is more likely that she will leave a sign in the end. And over the years, Dafang has also focused on cultivating her. ”

In the draft three years ago, Mu Qingyin was still old enough at that time. But at that time, Lao An's passed away, and Mu Qingyin missed the draft that year because he was still in the filial piety period, and finally dragged it to the present. Mu Qingyin is sixteen years old, but the house has not yet set a family affair for her, and the intention can be seen.

Mu Qingwan guessed that the list reported by the Marquis of Anping this time should be Mu Qingyin, but Mu Qingwan remembered the eldest sister with a dusty temperament, and she didn't know if her heart was as indifferent as her appearance.

After dinner, Wang Chengbin and Wang Chengwen were sent away, Mu Qingwan did not go back to his yard, but followed Mu Chen back to his yard, Mu Yan had always been very curious, and he also came over. I don't know who I followed, but in the matter of gossip, Mu Erye's family was surprisingly consistent.

Mu Chen looked at his younger brothers and sisters with curious faces, cleared his throat, and said slowly about the reason.
