Chapter Forty-Eight: The Auction of the Town and the State Mansion

The wind roared, blowing the dry branches crookedly, the broken windows and doors "banged" due to the long-term dilapidation, the cold wind pierced Mu Xuefu's body like a needle, and the gloomy purple eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light. The heart is just like this cold number nine cold day, bleak and bleak, even if the warmth is added, there is no trace of warmth.

After a long time, the anger on her body slowly converged from her body, Mu Xuefu slowly stood up, wiped away her tears, and looked around the entire mansion, with every step, the vague memory was repeated in her mind. It wasn't until the morning star on the horizon shone brightly that it quietly left under the night.

That night, the Zuo Xiangfu sent the most favored Mrs. Wen to Zhuangzi, and although the fourth prince Mu Qiudi was not punished, he was also grounded. Mu Zhaolin warned everyone who knew about this matter not to leak half a sentence of this matter, otherwise they would all send it out. The minions of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion basically signed a deed of sale, and there is no difference between being taken away and dying. Therefore, those who knew about this were silent, not daring to say a word more.

Mu Xuefu knew that this result was already the third day, and Mu Yurong specially sent Wanxi beside her to tell her, and also told her that in fact, Mu Zhaolin probably knew the truth, but he did not expose Shen Ruoshui, but he was a lot colder to her in attitude. And Mu Zhaolin of Yufu Pavilion found someone to clean it up again, and asked people to guard it there, and still kept it for her.

Mu Xuefu heard the words that Yufu Pavilion left for her, and a sarcastic smile hooked her mouth, she felt disgusted at the time, so she smashed the room, but on the other hand, she didn't do it for Jing Rong to see. Although Jing Rong's relationship with her is getting closer and closer, there is alienation in intimacy, sometimes she can alienate herself in the next moment when she sees a trace of affection in his eyes. He didn't trust her at all, even though she had said many times that she wouldn't mix things with Mu Zhaolin, he still didn't believe it. And that day, she said in front of so many people that she would not return to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion if she had nothing to do, isn't it just a disguised line with the Prime Minister's Mansion and makes him think that she is the only one left with him. Moreover, her pear blossoms bring rain, and Chu Chu is pitiful, so she also gets his pity.

Several calyxes are first released, with buds and white snow, poking out their heads on the branches, crystal clear, dazzling like pearlescent gemstones, like a jade girl standing, jade bone ice posture, exuding a seductive fragrance and fragrance. The faint and dark fragrance refreshes people's hearts, as if it is wafting from afar, and the clear distance is overflowing.

Mu Xuefu is draped in a white coat, embroidered with silver red plums, placed under the plum blossom tree, and the red plum in the snow is integrated. I don't know if she is watching the plum blossoms, or if the bright plums reflect her.

Jingrong stood at the gate of the courtyard, quietly watching her standing under the plum blossoms, full of flowers, smiling like flowers, that smile, all exuding sultry brilliance, such as a fairy who descended to the mortal world, and like a fairy who fell into the world.

Mu Xuefu turned his head and saw him standing there, dressed in snow-white straight embellishment, the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with vermilion silver silk trim auspicious clouds, the waist was tied with a wide belt of moonlight inlaid with jade, decorated with a white jade pendant, and a fox fur coat of the same color was draped outside, and the black hair was tied up with a white jade crown, and the scattered hair was blown by the wind, making the whole person more charming and charming, and revealing an innate noble temperament.

Mu Xuefu looked at him a little distractedly, and the cold wind blew her face before she came back to her senses. Yanran smiled and said softly: "What are you doing when the prince is standing at the door, and he hasn't come in yet." ”

The snow-white fox fur on the hood mixed with flakes of snow flew in the wind, caressing his jaw like feathers. Jing Rong slowly walked to her side and brushed the thin snow that fell on her, "Is it cold?" ”

Mu Xuefu touched the temperature of his hand, "tsk", stuffed the hand stove into his hand, and said angrily: "You also asked me if I was cold, look at your hand, it looks like ice." ”

"I'm used to it, it's like this in winter, and I don't feel like the ice is anywhere." Seeing that the maid next to her put a hand stove wrapped in mandarin ducks playing in the water on her hand, her fingertips traced the outline of the pattern on the hand stove purse in her hand, "I don't feel cold." ”

"Then let's go inside." Mu Xuefu wondered in her heart, aren't men all born with strong firepower?

After entering the house, Mu Xuefu took off her cloak, dragged Jing Rong to the gilded crane stove to keep warm, looked at the slender and white jade hand like bamboo shoots, and sighed in her heart, this man is so good-looking and even has such beautiful hands, with a sense of ridicule, he said with a smile: "The prince hasn't been here for several days, is it where to steal." ”

Jing Rong smiled lightly, as warm as early spring, and grabbed her hand, "This king wants to come here to steal incense, I don't know if the princess will agree?" With a blank look, he said: "In the past few days, the court is auctioning off a few mansions, in case someone takes advantage of this to make trouble, and the Gyeonggi Guard will inspect more, and the king will naturally not be idle." ”

"Auction the mansion?" Mu Xuefu asked suspiciously.

With her hand warmed up, Jing Rong pulled her to sit on the soft collapse on the side, and said lightly: "Yes, there are several abandoned mansions in the capital, which have been abandoned for a long time, and they are deserted anyway, so someone proposed to auction them off to enrich the treasury." ”

Mu Xuefu's heart tightened, and a premonition swept over, and blurted out: "Which mansion is it?" ”

"This king only knows the two largest places, one is Zhang Zhaochi's right minister's mansion, and the other is the Zhenguo General's Mansion ten years ago."

Her expression changed sharply, her body shook, and a heavy punch hit her heart, and her whole face turned white in shock. Mu Xuefu could barely believe his ears, and hatred came through his limbs and bones at that moment. There was a chill between his teeth, and his heart was so painful that he could barely breathe, but he tried his best to hide the anger in his heart.

Jing Rong saw her sudden look, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

The more it hurts, the more you have to be patient, Mu Xuefu smiled, leaned on Jing Rong, and said: "My father was a close friend of General Zhenguo, and he also talked about him. Who would have thought that the former generation of war gods would become a traitor who was spurned by thousands of people, it can be seen that this person cannot do anything wrong, otherwise he will not only harm himself, but even his family will be implicated. "I heard that he had a son and a daughter, the boy was only ten years old, and the girl was only five years old, and they all died in that pool of blood." ”

"This king has also heard about him, a generation of famous generals, and he ended up like that." Jing Rong remembered that when he was a child, his father also praised Mu Qiying, saying that he was a rare general. Although he was not masked, he had admired him for a long time, and he couldn't believe it when he heard that he had defected to the enemy and treason.

Mu Xuefu was sad in her heart, but she tried her best to endure it, holding back the sorrow and hatred in her heart, smiled, and said delicately: "Lord, the concubine is about to be born, didn't you say that the concubine will tell you whatever she wants?" The concubine body has thought of it now, so do you promise or not? ”

After getting along for so long, Jing Rong also knows something about her, knowing that she will only call herself a concubine when she asks for herself. He pursed his lips, touched her face, and said, "Yes, this king promised you, say, what do you want?" ”

"The concubine wants the mansion of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, is it okay for the prince to buy it for the concubine?" Mu Xuefu sat directly on top of him, wrapped around his neck, and coquettishly, "The prince gave the concubine as a gift, and the concubine will be very happy." ”

Jing Rong put his arm around her waist, was stunned, and asked, "What do you want the house for?" Is Chenwang's Mansion bad? ”

Mu Xuefu's eyes flashed, smiled smartly, and said playfully: "The biggest reliance for a woman is the house and the ticket in addition to her husband. The concubine of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion can't go back, and it can be regarded as having no mother's family, so if the prince is tired of the concubine, where will the concubine settle down? Therefore, the prince bought the Zhenguo General's Mansion for the concubine, which can be regarded as buying a maiden home for the concubine. ”

"How can this king get tired of it, he will only talk nonsense!" Jing Rong frowned and pinched her face, "If you like this king, I'll buy it for you, it doesn't matter if you go to play and sell it, but why did you choose Zhenguo Mansion?" ”

Jing Rong has never been a person who cares about money, he buys something for her, no matter how expensive it is, as long as she wants it, he will buy it for her directly without blinking an eye. Originally, he thought that he would at least hesitate for a mansion, but he didn't expect him to be like this, it seems that he has a lot of money. Mu Xuefu was thinking in her heart, but she said another set of words, "Didn't you say that it was big there?" Besides, it is basically reduced to ashes, and it is easy to rebuild. As for the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Zhaochi was a political enemy with his father when he was in office, and if we bought that place, what would others think. ”

"Okay, in a while, the king will send you to buy it back from month to month." Jing Rong scratched her nose affectionately, and her eyes flashed with ambiguity, "This king promised you this, how should you repay this king?" ”

Mu Xuefu bit her lower lip, her cheeks were ruddy, her starry eyes were slightly disgusted, and she said squeamishly: "Then how does the prince want the concubine to repay?" ”

Jing Rong straightened her body, lowered her head, her lips gently touched her pink ears, slowly slid to her cheek, kissed her, and said, "This is as a reward for this matter." ”

I thought I wanted something in return, but it turned out that it was just a kiss on the cheek, and the heart that Mu Xuefu was carrying just now fell instantly. She smiled mischievously, hooked Jingrong's neck, raised her chin and dropped a kiss on his face, "How about this?" ”

"Yan is like jade, gas is like orchid, it's really fragrant." Jing Rong pressed against her forehead, "One more kiss." ”

Mu Xuefu looked at him with a funny look, her fingertips swept across his face, pressed hard, and pushed aside, "How can you get good things all at once?" Wait for the next time the prince makes the concubine happy, and the concubine will reward you again. ”

"Narrow ghost, that's how you sent this king?" Jing Rong groaned in a low voice and kissed her hair, "But what you said is also right, good things can be obtained little by little." "No one will cherish what you get at one time, and only through hard work can you really have fun. Women are, and so are other things.

Mu Xuefu smiled lowly, hooked up a strand of black hair scattered on his placket, his eyes flowed brightly, as if he had been gathering smoke and rain for half a lifetime, and his delicate voice spit out softly, "If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, or it's more flavorful to be a long stream." ”
