Chapter 292: Simei visits the Taiwei Mansion
Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng were talking, and a palace maid walked slowly, saluted and said:
"Princess, Captain Zhuang is here. ”
Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and went downstairs to greet them.
I saw that Zhuang Shujun was already standing outside the door downstairs, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he said with a smile:
"I heard that you came back last night, thinking that you had been in the dust all the way and needed a good rest, so I came to visit you today, this is for breakfast!"
Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng greeted in unison:
"Big brother (Brother Zhuang) is good!"
After finishing speaking, Mu Qianmei continued:
"We were thinking about visiting Brother Zhuang after breakfast, but we didn't expect Brother Lao Zhuang to come in person."
Mu Qianmei is not called Mrs. Zhuang, but Brother Zhuang, Zhuang Shujun looked at the appearance of the two of them, and seemed to see something, but he said quietly:
"I also have to enter the palace every day, so I stopped by, I also roughly heard about the process of your crusade against the cult alliance this time, but fortunately, there was no danger, and they all came back safely."
Liu Tingfeng smiled and said:
"Big brother is here, let's go upstairs and sit for a while and talk slowly!"
So, the three of them went up to the second floor together.
Mu Qianmei instructed the palace maid:
"Let's get another breakfast!"
Zhuang Shujun hurriedly stopped:
"No need, no need, I only came here after eating, you haven't eaten well yet, continue to eat slowly, I'll just sit on the side and talk to you."
Mu Qianmei didn't look polite when she saw him, so she said to the palace maid:
"Then you guys clean up the table, we actually just finished eating, but we just kept talking, so we didn't let them clean up."
The first half of the sentence was said to the palace maid, and the second half was said to Zhuang Shujun.
Zhuang Shujun sat down and said casually:
"I heard that your swordsmanship has broken through, this is a thing worth congratulating!"
Liu Tingfeng replied:
"We all forcibly broke through in battle, so the realm is not stable, and there is still a long way to go if we want to be truly stable and improved!"
Zhuang Shujun said with a smile:
"You are all still young, there is a lot of time, don't be impatient, just practice slowly and naturally, with your qualifications, the stability and improvement of the realm is just a matter of time, it just comes naturally, I really envy you, you have reached such a realm at such a young age."
While they were talking, the palace maid had already cleaned up, and Mu Qianmei said to Zhuang Shujun:
"We just came back yesterday, Tingfeng found some problems last night, Brother Zhuang must be more familiar with the things in the palace, some things need you to observe secretly, to see if there is anything abnormal, we have to solve these hidden safety hazards as soon as possible."
immediately recounted what Liu Tingfeng found out last night.
After Zhuang Shujun heard this, he also frowned, and was deeply worried that Yuehua City still had such a threat hidden, and he said in a solemn tone:
"When we want to penetrate the other party's interior, they are also trying their best to infiltrate our interior, which is normal, but I didn't expect it to be so deep, and they are already secretly spreading intelligence, but I don't know what kind of information they have obtained."
Liu Tingfeng thought for a while and said:
"Or, I'm going to chase Dongfang Shaohong and Dongfang Lanzhu brothers and sisters and intercept the information in their hands?"
Mu Qianmei shook her head and said:
"That's not necessary, let's check their whereabouts first, and then send the beggars to help people who are good at stealing beams and changing pillars to try it out to see if they can see the intelligence content, and there is no need to intercept it, we just need to know what the content is, and then we can make corresponding adjustments, it's best that everything is unnoticed, and don't let them feel anything abnormal."
Zhuang Shujun pondered for a moment and said:
"The princess has a good idea, we can act separately, while secretly supervising the whereabouts of those who have been exposed, while looking for more clues, my focus is to see what kind of people in the palace cooperate with them."
Mu Qianmei says:
"Whether it is inside the palace or outside the palace, we have to be very careful, this kind of thing, the fewer people who know, the better, if the movement is too big, our action has not really been launched, and others have already heard the wind and fled to the trouble."
"Once you startle the snakes, they will hide deeper, and then it will be even harder to find them."
Zhuang Shujun also agreed:
"Yes, the fewer people who know, the better, especially in the current situation, who is a traitor does not know, let alone let them smell any danger."
The three of them chatted for a while, and it was almost time for lunch, so they dispersed.
Zhuang Shujun investigated in the palace, Mu Qianmei returned to the Butterfly Dance Pavilion, and Liu Tingfeng went to the beggars to find Mo Huan.
When parting, Zhuang Shujun said to Liu Tingfeng and Mu Qianmei:
"Come to my house for dinner tonight, it's also your home, how can you not go back when you come back?"
The sentence "There is also your home" made Mu Qianmei blush again, Liu Tingfeng is very natural, my brother's home is naturally my own home.
After the three separated, Mu Qianmei did not immediately go back to the Butterfly Dance Pavilion, but first went to her father and queen mother to greet her.
Saren had already arrived early, and the family of four was still having lunch together, and after the meal, Mu Qianmei and Saren sisters returned to the Butterfly Dance Pavilion.
Today, the people of the Butterfly Dance Pavilion knew that the Mu Qianmei sisters had already eaten in the inner courtyard of the palace, so they didn't wait for them any longer, so when the Mu Qianmei sisters came back, they had already eaten.
Although the Butterfly Dance Pavilion is built in the palace, it is like an independent small world, there are not so many strict rules, everyone plays together, learns together, plays the piano together, sings together, and there is no obvious class division.
Everyone is like a group of good sisters who live in harmony.
However, due to the different accumulation of knowledge, it is natural to divide into several small groups.
Mu Qianmei, Saren, Du Jiuniang and Youyou Girl, they are all versatile and knowledgeable people, so they sat together.
Spring Flower, Autumn Moon, Summer Lotus, Winter Plum, and the four maids of Saren, eight people sat at a table.
The remaining six palace maids sat at a table alone.
Mu Qianmei's table is talking about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is a topic they are all familiar with, there is a guqin on the table, and when it comes to places with high interest, they will occasionally play a song.
The people at the other two tables were like spectators and students, listening to their conversations and talking in small voices, and they could also learn something from them.
Talking, laughing, so lively, Mu Qianmei naturally suggested to the other three people at the same table:
"We're going to Taiwei Zhuang's mansion at night, or a few of us will go over together!"
Saren immediately said happily:
"Okay, okay, I heard that his Taiwei Mansion is very exquisite and gorgeous, I just want to go and see it!"
Du Jiuniang said hesitantly:
"Zhuang Gongzi invited you, but he didn't invite us, wouldn't it be bad if we rushed to go!"
Mu Qianmei smiled and said:
"What does it matter, Taiwei Zhuang is just him, he doesn't have so many rules there like other families, let's go over and play together, what's the big deal!"
Du Jiuniang actually wanted to go to the Taiwei Mansion for a long time, but Zhuang Shujun was inconvenient to invite, so she naturally couldn't take the liberty to visit, and now that Mu Qianmei was taking her there, it was also a good opportunity, so she didn't speak again.
For Mu Qianmei, this can be regarded as an adult beauty, they have a good impression of each other, and they are in love with each other, but without a middleman, it is difficult to have further development.
After the matter was settled, everyone continued to talk and laugh, and the mood seemed to be better, and the scene became more lively.
In the afternoon, Zhuang Shujun sent someone to pick him up, and after Mu Qianmei explained a few words to the maid and palace maid at home, she took the other three and got into the carriage together.
The Taiwei Mansion is outside the Imperial Palace, but it is close to the Imperial Palace, built against the mountain, and is a magnificent and classical manor-style building.
On both sides of the gate, there is a large stone lion on one side, and there are soldiers guarding the door, and it looks like a well-guarded mansion.
The carriage was originally sent by the Taiwei Mansion, and it was the most luxurious one among them, and it was the carriage that was usually used by Taiwei Zhuang to enter and exit, so it entered the gate smoothly.
Inside the gate, there is no cave, the roadside on the mountain is shaded by green trees, the pavilions and pavilions are hidden in it, the small bridge and flowing water, the rockery pond, with the staggered and staggered, it seems very quiet and elegant.
The maids and servants in the house, at first glance, are carefully selected, and they treat people and things, with only a calm and calm temperament.
When the carriage was about to arrive at the main building, Zhuang Shujun was already standing downstairs and waiting, if Mu Qianmei visited as a princess, he would need to go outside the gate to greet him, but she had deliberately called Zhuang Shujun Brother Zhuang, not Mrs. Zhuang, and at first glance, the relationship with Liu Tingfeng had a new development, just like a family.
Of course, even if this is the case, she is still a princess after all, and she can't be lazy, so Zhuang Shujun not only sent someone to pick them up, but also waited downstairs himself.
Seeing the four of them getting out of the carriage, all of them were stunning women, and Chunlan and Qiuju had their own merits, and the whole manor seemed to suddenly add a bit of brightness and brilliance.
Zhuang Shujun stepped forward with a smile on his face and saluted:
"Welcome the two princesses, Miss Du and Miss Youyu to the Humble House, now I really understand what it means to be a blooming tree, as soon as a few people get off the carriage, all the scenery has lost its color, and Shujun is honored."
Mu Qianmei replied with a smile:
"Brother Zhuang doesn't need to be polite, it's been so long, I've been busy with various affairs, and I'm only here to visit now, it's us who are rude."
Saren looked left and right, and when she heard the polite conversation between the two, she said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, everyone is very honored, Mrs. Zhuang's mansion is really quiet, and the scenery is also very beautiful, we will often come to you to play in the future."
A completely invisible tone made everyone look at Zhuang Shujun with a smile.
