Chapter 15: Blushing
Ye Xiyin rose in the Mu family because of this matter, and became a treasure that everyone held in the palm of their hands, and now even Mu Yancui stood aside. On the contrary, Ye Yun seems to have been forgotten, and people often invite Ye Xi to come to the house to play, but Ye Yun doesn't like to join in the fun, so he is gradually not mentioned. Even Mrs. Zhou put her mind on Ye Xi, hoping to really make Ye Xi become Mrs. Ge.
Ye Xi was very uneasy about this matter, and always felt that everything was due to his sister. Ye Yun smiled and comforted her: "Sister, you always remember that your honor is my honor, and if you are valued by others, I will be valued by others!" ”
When Ye Yun said this, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, his sister had also said such things.
"Yun'er, you have to help your sister, your sister's honor is your honor!"
So she supported her behind the scenes, making her sister the number one lady in the capital, and she was better than others.
With Ye Yun's full support, Ye Xi let go of his hands and feet to make friends with the young lady in the capital, and Mu Yancui, under the guidance of Mrs. Zhou, often took Ye Xi out to meet the famous girls in the capital.
Mu Shi was also worried that there was a gap in his little daughter's heart, but it turned out that Ye Yun comforted her in turn, and Mu couldn't help but feel that his little daughter had really grown up.
The entire Mu family still remembers that Ye Yun is only Mu Wenqing, the weather is clear and the breeze is warm, and the weather is not very hot, Mu Wenqing came to the third room on the grounds of sending the mung bean cake to the palace.
Every year when the weather is hot, the emperor will let the imperial study make some mung bean cakes and give them to the ministers' mansions to enjoy, in order to show the grace of heaven, the emperor sent one to the Mu family, and Mu Xu naturally let people share it with the other two rooms.
The one who came to receive him was the wife of the third room, Yao,
"Aunt Yao, is the second cousin of the Ye family at home? My sister went to Cui's house with her former cousin today, won't she be bored at home alone! Mu Wenqing asked tentatively,
Yao took the mung bean cake brocade box, handed it to the grandmother beside her, and replied with a smile: "She hasn't been out recently, she was busy in the past, and no one played with her." ”
Mu Wenqing immediately came to his senses, "Auntie, it just so happens that I am going to participate in a bidding auction with Brother Liu in the afternoon, why don't I let Cousin Yun go with us, and save her from being bored at home alone!" ”
Yao Shi nodded happily when he heard this, "Then I'll go and tell her, she has to agree, and my aunt will call someone to call you back immediately!" ”
"Okay, then I'll go back first!" Mu Wenqing was gentle and polite, and bowed to the Yao family and returned to the long room.
Here Yao immediately said to Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Wen asked her to tell Ye Yun that Ye Yun didn't want to move at first, Mu persuaded her to go out for a walk, and she was surprised that the little girl had changed sex, she used to be the most lively, Ye Yun was afraid that Mu Shi would be suspicious and agreed.
The girl and another little girl immediately prepared for her, and soon after lunch, they went to the side door of the third landlord.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Mu Wenqing and her cousin Mu Wenliu in the second room talking and laughing out of the door.
"Oops, let the second cousin wait for a long time!" Mu Wenqing stepped through the side door and said embarrassedly, his eyes swept over her long green dress, a little amazing, seeing her smile like a slim green lotus, she was slender and tall, looking soft and weak, like a delicate flower.
"I've just arrived!" Ye Yun blessed his body and also greeted Mu Wenliu.
Mu Wenliu nodded stupidly, a little bit he didn't want to see her, he still had some difficulties in his heart about the last time.
Mu Wenqing saw that Mu Wenliu didn't like to see Ye Yun very much, and smiled apologetically at Ye Yun, so Ye Yun didn't care about these things. Their brothers got into a carriage in front, and Ye Yun got into the carriage of the third room in the back.
The painting screen on the road was chattering, and Ye Yun thought she was noisy. But she was very tolerant of these little things, and she didn't say anything, just opened the curtain and looked out.
The carriage traveled for about two quarters of an hour to the shops near the Yudai River, and the carriage turned west until it stopped under a white archway.
Hearing the sound of Mu Wenqing getting out of the car outside, Ye Yun also got out of the car, she stood outside and took a look, only to find that there was a street in the westernmost part of this Yudai Henan Street.
This street gathers merchants from the Western Regions, many merchants from Qinzhou, Chang'an and other places gather on this street, and there are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, specializing in selling rare and exotic treasures.
Mu Wenqing took her all the way inside, and introduced as he walked: "Cousin, the most famous merchant in the Western Regions on this street is called Luo Ge, this person is bold and generous, and he will buy large goods from the west twice a year, including a lot of things from Persia, Mughal, Spain and other countries, no, the goods in the first half of the year just arrived a few days ago, saying that it was auctioned today, and many people came to grab it, I hope we have better luck today!" ”
Mu Wenqing and Mu Wenliu both looked eager to try.
Ye Yun listened to it very interestingly, while walking and looking at the shops on both sides, he saw that all of them were beaming, like a festival, this street is not narrow but it is very crowded at the moment, and the people who come and go are all in Chinese clothes, you can imagine the excitement of today's auction.
Ye Yun's food and clothing in her previous life were all tributes, and she didn't pay much attention to these things outside her body, for example, she learned carving with Mr. Shi Bin back then, what she cared about was the skills and process, and she didn't pay too much attention to the things that were really carved, but others treasured them like rare treasures.
Everyone asked to go inside, and the more crowded they were.
"Oh, I said I came early today, why am I still late!" Mu Wenliu saw the crowd of people in front of him, and he was already jumping to his feet.
Mu Wenqing looked forward for a moment or two, and pondered: "Could it be that there is some big man here today, it stands to reason that he will not be so unreasonable!" ”
"This hasn't even gone to Jinpeng, it's like this, can we still squeeze in!" Mu Wenliu looked at the people standing in front of him, and he was angry.
There was really a lot of people in front of him, bustling, Ye Yun pursed his lips and smiled, he was not in a hurry, he wanted nothing and wanted nothing.
At this time, the Mu family followed one of Mu Wenliu's elders and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the two masters, the little one will take the master to the trail!" ”
"Tell me earlier!" Mu Wenliu knocked on him, and the three of them and the servant all followed the long entourage and copied it from the path.
Sure enough, after a circle from the rear, they finally squeezed to the front, and when they saw an empty space near a pavilion, several people squeezed in.
The auction of Jinpeng is built against the city wall, three steps lead to the top, Jinpeng on both sides are tied with tall red trees, hung red hydrangeas, dressed as if the competition to recruit relatives, very festive.
A large part of the front has a lot of chairs and brocades, which are already full of people, all of whom seem to have extraordinary bearing, and are famous people in the capital. Where there are no chairs, there are quite a few people around.
There is also a pavilion by the river on the right, and Mu Wenqing and his party came to the pavilion. As soon as a few people landed, they were pushed out of the way.
"Let's let, don't stand in the eyes of His Highness the Twelve, go elsewhere!" A low-pitched servant in green rolled his nostrils and waved his hand at them, looking very impatient.
Mu Wenqing and the others were shocked, no wonder no one drilled into the empty space here, it turned out that the twelve princes came.
They all alarmed the prince in the palace, could it be that something good came this time?
Mu Wenqing bowed his hand to apologize, but he just looked around and couldn't retreat, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, they finally squeezed in, it was difficult to retreat.
And the view of this place is excellent, there are people sitting in front, and the Jade Belt River in the back, and the pavilion where the twelve princes are located is not far from them.
The pavilion was surrounded by palace guards, and it stands to reason that they would not really block the sight of the Twelve Princes, but they did seem a little abrupt.
Mu Wenqing glanced at Ye Yun, and really didn't want to lose face in front of her, so he decided to go forward and ask His Highness the Twelfth for a face.
So he straightened his clothes and bowed to a man dressed as a scribe standing next to the pillar of the pavilion, "My lord, here is Sun Mu Wenqing, the head of the Mu family, who is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and I would like to say hello to His Royal Highness, please give His Highness a grace, and let him bring his brothers and sisters to watch the auction here!" ”
The twelve princes have just left the palace to open the palace, and the scribe in front of him is the long history of the palace, judging from his service, Mu Wenqing guessed that he was the chief of the palace, and even the chief of the palace was here, so he estimated what the purpose was.
The palace chief Shi Wenyan smiled slightly, "It turned out to be the son of Mu Shilang's family, and the son is here to watch, but we don't have a brocade, but the wronged son is standing!" ”
This Changshi is a transparent person, and he did not ask His Royal Highness the prince for such a trivial matter, but agreed to make his own decisions, besides, the twelve princes have just reached the crown, leaving a harsh reputation is not good, since the other party is the son of the minister, there is no reason to drive away.
"Thank you so much, sir!" Mu Wenqing gave an elegant salute.
Na Changshi gently raised his sleeves to show that he didn't care, and then he turned his head and estimated that he had greeted the twelve princes.
Now the Mu siblings stood and watched the auction.
"Cousin, are you tired? Do you want me to find you a brocade? Mu Wenqing asked Ye Yun considerately,
His voice was very gentle, and Ye Yun was stunned when he heard it, "No need, it's good to stand!" "She used to sit or lie down every day, and she didn't spend much time standing like this.
Mu Wenqing smiled lightly and stopped talking. The two set their sights on the auction.
At first, a middle-aged man dressed in grace and luxury stood up to congratulate him, and then explained the rules of today's auction.
The auction is divided into two rounds, the first round is a few rare luxury auctions, each of which starts at more than 500 taels, and not everyone can participate, and it depends on luck to participate in the auction.
Ye Yun knew that this auction was not simple, it was not the usual one with the highest price, the rules were complex and fun. Any item is put out, first through a chess and card lottery to select the person who is destined to bid, and then the lottery passes the lottery and then comes forward to watch one or two, a price, the auctioneer finally sees which person has the highest price, and the thing is the one with the highest price. In this way, in addition to fighting for financial resources, you have to fight for eyesight.
The second round is a general luxury auction, which is completely based on the offer.
Ye Yun smiled lightly, Mu Wenqing brought her here today, he was really lucky.
Mu Wenqing also moved closer to her and said with a smile: "Cousin Yun, you were able to break Yuan Qinghua last time, you have to help us palm our eyes today, your cousin Liu suffered a lot last year!" ”
The price is set by yourself, if the goods are not worth the price, then you have to swallow the loss. Last year, Mu Wenliu lost 3,000 taels of silver, and he lost money in the second room, so if he was in the third room, he would really cry to death.
Ye Yun smiled and nodded repeatedly, she looked very well-behaved.
But the mouth of the picture screen was happy to quip: "Master Cousin, it turns out that you invited our young lady to come out to play so that she can palm her eyes!" ”
Mu Wenqing was broken by her, and his face was immediately full of shame, "Not exactly..."
In fact, he really wanted to invite Ye Yun out to play, and as for the palm eye, it was the reason why he persuaded Mu Wenliu to agree to let Ye Yun come.
Mu Wenqing's elder retinue saw that his master was faceless, and immediately glared at the painting screen.
Ye Yun didn't blame the painting screen for talking too much, tilted his head and glanced at Mu Wenqing, Mu Wenqing was even more ashamed. In the end, he calmed down and quickly stabilized his emotions, and replied: "Cousin Yun, brother, I sincerely invited you to come out to play." ”
"I know!" Ye Yun smiled and nodded.
Mu Wenliu glanced at Mu Wenqing and Ye Yun, and didn't speak sullenly.
This is the first time I have seen Mu Wenqing blush!
