When Father Mu heard this, he trembled and said, "Lan'er, what did your mother say?" ”

Mu Lan looked at her father in a deep manner, and said slowly: "Father still remember, when my daughter was four years old, before my father went to Beijing, we talked under the green yarn tent in the yard, did my father say something to my mother?" ”

Father Mu frowned, trying to recall the old things ten years ago, but he was still speechless and silent.

Mu Lan said word by word: "At that time, my daughter was still young, although she was young, she was already in the world......

"At that time, the conversation between my father and my mother, Mu Lan didn't understand it when she was a child, but she remembered it vividly."

Now, when her daughter is about to get married, she deeply understands the weight of those words. It's a pity that things are no longer right now, how can the promises of the past be fulfilled? ”

Father Mu's voice trembled a little, and he said heavily: "Although it has been many years, my father is old, and I really can't remember what I said at that time." But if you had made a promise for Lan'er at that time, you would have fulfilled it if you did your best for your father! ”

Mu Lan's expression froze, and she said solemnly: "That year, my mother once said with a smile that after my father lived and worked in peace and contentment in the capital, he would take us to the capital, and Mu Lan would probably grow up in the imperial city. In that case, when it is time to get married, it must be done in accordance with the rules and rituals of the people in the capital. ”

"At that time, my father once made a promise to my mother and Lan'er that when the time comes, I must buy Mu Lan the best dowry in the capital."

After that, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and where his clear gaze swept by, Zhao's hands swaying with silk gold bracelets seemed to tremble slightly under the long sleeves.

Mu Lan didn't care at all, looked at his father seriously, and said with a smile: "I don't know if my father still remembers this?" If my father remembers, shouldn't he take it seriously? ”

The soft language is hidden, bringing back many memories of Father Mu a long time ago.

The deeper the memories are hidden, the more sad the people who remember them now will only become.

Father Mu ignored Liu's movements behind him, and let the old man tear wet his shirt and said, "Remember, remember, of course I remember for my father." It is a promise, of course, a promise! ”

Mu Lan bowed deeply and said leisurely: "Thank you father, for helping my mother achieve her wishes." ”

The people in the Mufu waited for no chance to see this scene. But for two days in a row, I saw a steady stream of silk and satin, and boxes of jewelry, which were continuously transported to Mufu from the major trading houses in the capital.

When people are free, they get together in twos and threes, and there is only one thing to talk about.

That is, who are these good things for.

I only heard that the eldest daughter of the master's distant relatives came to defect, and she was about to enter the palace in a few days.

The things that were sent to the mansion in the past two days were enough, and it looked like a good dowry for a first-class woman in the capital.

On the third day, Mu Lan was about to enter the palace.

Early in the morning, the maid came to urge her to get up and change her clothes, bathe and comb her hair.

Dododo......

The servant knocked on the door and said hurriedly, "Girl, the hour is getting late. Sooner rather than later. Girl, hurry up and pack your bags, we're afraid it'll be too late if we don't leave. ”

"Has the dowry been carried to the courtyard?" The room asked unhurriedly.

"Lifted, a whole eight large camphor wood boxes, still commanded by Mrs. herself. Just waiting for the girl to set off! The servant woman said.

The door creaked open, and a plain girl walked out of the door.

Seeing this, the servant woman was frightened and said, "Amitabha! Girl, why didn't you put on your new clothes, and you were going out in this suit? ”

Mu Lan smiled and asked rhetorically, "What?" Did your housewife say no? ”

The servant woman hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, the slave is clumsy, I don't see that this set on the girl is also new." It's just a little cleaner. In this house, up and down, where does anyone dare to take care of the girl. The hostess said, as long as the girl is willing to get on the sedan chair, you just want the moon in the sky, and she has to find a way to take it off for you! ”

The corners of Mu Lan's mouth curved, and she walked straight towards the main courtyard.

When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw a small sedan chair parked in the courtyard.

In all directions, eight large thick and heavy ebony camphor wood boxes were neatly arranged, occupying almost half of the courtyard.

Under the sun, the surface of the camphor wood box was polished and wiped to be shiny and shiny.

Mu Lan's gaze gently swept from above, greeted the sun, and slowly walked under the corridor.

A group of people under the corridor, all with solemn faces, as if they were waiting for her.

Mu Lan stepped forward and saluted the elders in front of him.

The father looked at her fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "Lan'er, it's not early, let's get on the sedan chair." ”

Aunt Liu also said goodbye with a smile on her face.

Mu Rong on the side said innocently: "Sister, my mother said that she would prepare for my sister's big event these days, and she wouldn't let me bother you." There are so many boxes, are they going to be brought to the palace? After my sister enters the palace, don't forget me! ”

Liu's expression was slightly dark, and his empty wrist was slightly under the long sleeves, holding his daughter's hand tightly.

Mu Lan smiled and said, "Sister, if there is a chance in the future, we will definitely meet again." ”

After that, he bowed to his father and Liu, and slowly stepped into the sedan chair.

The sedan curtain slowly lifted, like flowing water, bumpy and bumpy, on the road.

After walking for less than half an hour, Mu Lan lifted the sedan curtain and said to the leader who deliberately walked a few steps slower: "No matter what others say, you just follow the path I say." When this is done, take this and exchange it for silver. ”

The leader quietly bowed his head and said yes, and quickened his pace to the front.

As he walked, he heard the errand officer who followed behind the team shouting at the end of the line: "Wrong! Wrong! The road is wrong! ”

And Father Mu, who had been following closely at the end of the line, hurriedly approached and whispered to him.

The errand was just about to say something angry, but under the sleeve of his robe he was unaware of it, and was stuffed into a bag of snowflake silver.

The errand touched the bag through the sleeves of the robe, and there should be ten big silver horns inside.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and shouted to the front: "Everyone follow the leader, speed up for a while, and be sure to arrive at the Shenwu Gate before three o'clock." Walking! ”

The procession went around a few streets and came to a money firm in the downtown area, where it slowly stopped.

I saw that the sedan curtain was lifted, and the girl on the sedan chair got off the sedan chair and entered the door all the way.

The eight large camphor wooden boxes carried by the four people behind him also entered one by one, and entered the shop with the girl.

About half a pillar of incense passed, and the girl walked out like a cloud again, and got on the sedan chair.

And the mighty team, under a command, is also scattered as birds and beasts.

Under a shout, a beautiful sedan chair was slowly lifted again.

It's a moment.

Under the blazing sun, this small sedan chair, as if under the protection of two teams of mighty Imperial Forest Army, was bumped up and down by the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City, as if it was swept by the waves of the sea, and was carried into the depths of a high red wall.
