Chapter 158: Murong Mansion

It's only because the original owner was too young back then, and the impact of the fire on her was too strong, and there was nothing else in her memory except the raging fire.

Murong Xi felt a little tired, rubbed her eyes and sighed, "It seems that things are getting more and more complicated. ”

The subtle actions made Chu Cheng look sideways, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Murong doesn't have to pay too much attention to it, I will continue to investigate the matter of Murong Mansion." ”

"Well, then please Chu Gongzi."

As the turmoil she caused in the capital became bigger and bigger, and more and more people knew her, it was indeed not suitable to go to Qin Lanyuan to ask Qin Niang at this time.

Then he got up and said, "My guards will also come to Jishitang according to the three-day time limit." At that time, Chu Gongzi can tell me what he finds out. ”

Dongfang Li hurriedly stopped Murong Xi, "Miss Murong, if, I mean if, if my wedding is held in Jiangnan, you will really come?" ”

Murong Xi was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You must be there." ”

-

Spring is coming, Jiang Huaiyin suddenly became busy, and many times he returned home after Murong Xi fell asleep late at night.

Needless to say, Murong Xi can also understand that when there is fresh blood injected into the official position of the court, it is the best time to win people's hearts.

Murong Xi was rarely pure, so she focused on the second room.

It is not her nature to sit back and wait for death, and while waiting for the news from Chu Chengzhi, she also sent Bai Lu to investigate Murong Mansion.

Thinking about the past few years, only on the important occasions of banquets in the palace, she can see a few times in the second room.

Other than that, it seems that there has never been any personal contact with the second room.

Bai Lu said: "Murong Lan, the eldest daughter of the second room, married Xiucai at that time, and now she is also a county magistrate, and rarely returns to Beijing. However, I heard that next month will be the sixtieth birthday of Old Madam Murong, and I guess I will return to Beijing at that time. ”

"Sixty birthdays?" Murong Xi narrowed her eyes.

There was a palace banquet before Murong Xue identified Shen Hede in public, and then there was Mrs. Murong who tore Mrs. Li's fig leaf in the Prime Minister's Mansion by mistake.

At the same time, offended the civil and military generals, on the cusp of this storm, the second uncle still has to put a birthday banquet for his grandmother?

The mind is clear.

Murong Xi dragged her chin with one hand, stared at the moon gate of the begonia, and said disdainfully:

"Do you have a post from me?"

Egret shook his head, "It's been a while, and it's normal that I didn't come to the invitation. ”

"Hmm." Murong Xi got up suddenly, "You go to the warehouse and pick out a few things that are not useful to bring with you, no matter whether people invite me or not, as a granddaughter, you should also visit in person." ”

The egret was surprised, but quickly calmed down and quietly withdrew to prepare the carriage and gifts.

Apricot blossoms in March, full of spring.

Murong Xi stood in front of the mansion, looking up at the three big characters of "Murong Mansion" dancing with dragons flying and phoenixes, and the mockery in his heart deepened.

This mansion was obviously not the dilapidated Murong Mansion she remembered.

Today's glory and wealth, how many of his father's exploits have been stained, you don't have to think deeply to be able to guess.

stepped on the lintel of the glorious ancestor with her blood-stained exploits, her good second uncle was really at ease.

Murong Ji instructed Bai Lu to hand over the worship post, and after waiting for a while, the old lady Murong actually came out to greet her with the three rooms and three aunts.

From afar, I heard my grandmother's hypocritical voice, "Sister? Is it really a concubine who came to see the old body? ”

Murong Xi gathered the emotions in her eyes, life is like a play, all based on her acting skills, with an expression that blood is thicker than water, she stepped forward, "Grandmother." ”

"Ouch, I can't do it, I can't help it." The old lady panicked and helped the person up, looking Murong Xi up and down, this was the first time she had seen Murong Xi again since Murong Ji and Lu.

"Ji'er is already a princess, but she can't help it. Let the old body take a good look, well, like, really like. You and your dad are really carved out of the same mold. ”

Murong Ji slandered in her heart, she looked like her mother, and she was even ashamed of being said by the old lady to be like General Murong?

The old lady's palm was a little dry, and there was a strange feeling when she touched Murong Xi's delicate and tender hands.

Murong Xi smiled and withdrew her hand, and instead walked into Murong Mansion holding the old lady's arm, "What did grandmother say?" Whether I am a princess or a commoner, my surname is always Murong. ”

The third aunt next to her looked unnatural for a moment, and then smiled: "The princess is right, no matter what the princess is, she is the granddaughter that her mother misses the most." This mother, she doesn't talk about the princess on weekdays, no, she was still muttering in her mouth just now, who knew that Cao Cao, Cao Cao really arrived! ”

Murong Xi glanced at the third lady lightly, didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward with a smile.

"I've changed the mansion, I'm not familiar with my sister-in-law, where should I go?"

In fact, the old lady had already taken a step and faintly led Murong Xi towards the backyard.

But Murong Xi wanted to say it, "Such a big mansion is bigger than the general's mansion at that time, right?" ”

The old lady was embarrassed, and the third lady immediately stepped forward to explain, "Our third and second rooms are crowded into this mansion, it looks big, but there are so many people?" There are really few vacant courtyards. It's not as big as the palace, Ji'er's palace should be really grand, right? ”

Murong Xi stopped and smiled at the third lady, "Won't the third aunt go and see it another day?"

The Regent's Mansion is not something that ordinary eunuchs and family members say they will go to.

Even if the Murong family has some status in the capital, it is still the ancestral family of Murong Xi, but it is the regent palace, a palace like purgatory on earth!

Even if the third lady is given ten dares, she may not dare to go.

Sensing the irony of Murong Xi's smile, the third lady was embarrassed and couldn't hide it, and she was at a loss to cover it with a smile.

The old lady continued to walk forward with Murong Xi, "Don't care, your third aunt has never seen the world, but she is envious of seeing that you have a good home." ”

"Yes, yes, the princess must not take it to heart." The third lady chimed in.

Murong Xi laughed dryly twice, but did not respond.

From the moment he entered the door, when he heard the compliments of the third lady against his will, Murong Xi felt uncomfortable.

Remembering the news of Bailu's inquiry, although the second uncle still holds the position of squire, but he has lost the support of Shen Guogong and Li Xiang, I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before he takes off the black yarn hat.

As for the third room and three uncles, they are still editing in the Hanlin Academy.

After a general, he became a seven-rank civil official without a real job, and the blind could see the career of the third uncle, so he stopped there.

Yes, the third aunt frequently showed favor to Murong Xi, and Murong Xi knew how to do it, but she just didn't want to respond.

When he came to the old lady's Wutong Garden, Murong Xi's buttocks were not yet hot, and a group of cousins who couldn't even name them swarmed and surrounded the door.

In the crowd, only one person was quite familiar, Murong Xi sat on an equal footing with the old lady, picked up the teacup and looked at Murong Xue with a smile, "Cousin Xue'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you seem to be alienated from me?" ”

Murong Xue had already tried her best to reduce her presence, and she never thought that Murong Xue would call her name when she opened her mouth.

Biting her lower lip, Murong Xue squeezed out of the crowd and said reluctantly: "See the princess." ”
