As the night deepened, the sky was dyed with ink, with only a few twinkling stars hanging on the horizon.

The courtyard to the west of the bamboo forest courtyard is Mu Jin's residence.

A delicate-looking maid walked into the courtyard gate quickly, and Begonia's sharp eyes saw it at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Isn't this Sister Qiao'er beside the old lady, is there something wrong with coming here so late?"

Qiao'er has served the old lady for many years, and the maids in the house call her "Sister Qiao'er" when they see her, so they feel superior to others, throw a handkerchief, and say: "The old lady asked me to come over and tell Miss Mu that there will be a banquet in Xuanwen Pavilion tonight, and Miss Mu will be invited to the banquet." ”

As soon as Haitang wanted to respond, Nanning came out.

"What's the matter?"

Qiao'er looked reluctant to say more, waved the handkerchief in her hand, and said to Haitang: "Come on, I also brought the words, I should go back, the old lady should blame me when it is late." ”

Nanning looked unhappy, and Haitang hurriedly stepped forward to tell Nanning: "Sister Nanning, that is Sister Qiao'er next to the old lady just now, she came over and said that the old lady invited Miss Mu to Xuanwen Pavilion for a banquet." ”

Nanning thought to herself, this old lady asked the princess to go to the banquet? turned around and went into the house to tell Mu Jin.

"Princess, what do you mean by this old lady Su, why did you suddenly call you to the banquet?"

"Who knows? Didn't you say that Zi Ling was angry and left the old lady to send someone to invite it? I guess it had something to do with it. ”

"Then the princess is going to go? The slave maid always felt that this old lady Su was not at ease. Nanning worried.

"Go, why don't you go? Princess Ben wants to see what tricks she can play? Even if she doesn't have a good heart, do you think she can hurt me?" Mu Jin chuckled, her eyebrows and eyes crooked, and she was charming.

In the Xuanwen Pavilion, all the members of the Su family were there, all smiling. Zi Ling sat on the right side of the old lady to highlight her identity, and then the eldest lady, the second lady, leaving a place between the second lady and several sons, obviously Mu Jin's. I have to say that the Su family is still very hospitable.

Mu Jin came to Xuanwen Pavilion slowly, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on her. Mu Jin wore a light purple embroidered shirt, without any powder on his face, and his black hair was high, really like a person who came out of a painting.

Zi Ling saw that everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Jin, and Su Weiyu's face, which had been stiff, also looked at Mu Jin with a faint smile at this moment, and his face darkened in an instant.

After Mu Jin sat down, the old lady said with a smile in order to alleviate Zi Ling's unhappiness: "Okay, let's start the table." Seeing the old lady looking at her with a smile, Zi Ling had no choice but to stomp her foot and give up.

After everyone moved the chopsticks for a while, the old lady said in a timely manner:

"There are two things about holding a banquet in this Xuanwen Pavilion today. ”

Everyone stopped their chopsticks and listened carefully.

The old lady continued: "This first is for Miss Mu. When Miss Mu came to the house, she didn't entertain her, so she really didn't want to go, so please don't mind Miss Mu this time. ”

Mu Jin bowed: "The old lady is polite, it's Mu Jin who is bothered." ”

The old lady nodded: "This second, I heard that Miss Mu and Zi Ling had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel, and my wife can't be idle, so I want to mediate for you." Miss Mu is a guest from afar, Ziling, this girl has always been wild, and if she offends, please don't take it to heart. ”

As soon as Zi Ling heard this, she refused, wasn't the old lady talking about her fault?

"Grandma. ”

The old lady motioned to Zi Ling with her eyes not to worry, and then smiled again: "Look, this girl is in a hurry again." Zi Ling, you are the master, Miss Mu is a guest, how can there be a reason to bully the guests, don't you? Apologize to Miss Mu quickly. ”

These words were based on retreat, but in fact, they told Mu Jin that Zi Ling was a member of the Su family, and Mu Jin was an outsider no matter how he was. Su Weiyu frowned, and everyone stiffened. What does this sentence represent? Looking at Zi Ling again, sure enough, when Zi Ling heard this, his heart was full of joy, as if he was provoking Mu Jin.

"Miss Mu, offended. ”

How could Mu Jin not be able to hear the meaning of this sentence, but the words he said just didn't understand.

"Isn't the county lord Ziling the daughter of Prince Wei? Could it be that she is still the godgranddaughter of the old lady? Mu Jin didn't know before, and she was a little out of the way, so I hope the county lord will forgive me. ”

The old lady squinted her eyes, this Mu Jin really can't be underestimated, and she didn't know whether what she said was true or false, as if she really didn't understand, as if as she said, Zi Ling was her goddaughter, not the granddaughter-in-law she identified. But at this moment, you can't say anything, otherwise it will be too petty, and you will be separated from a junior.

"Since Miss Mu knows that she is a guest, she should know to guard her duty. ”

Mu Jin looked teachable: "The old lady is right, Mu Jin understands." ”

Zi Ling looked at the old lady's appearance and knew that the old lady had her own plans in her heart, so she didn't say anything more, anyway, it was enough for her to know that the old lady was on her side.

A meal is eaten in everyone's heart, each with its own taste.

After dinner, everyone dispersed, and Mu Jin also returned to his yard.

Nanning made the bed for Mu Jin and said with concern: "Princess, then Mrs. Su didn't embarrass you, right?"

Mu Jin pulled out the hairpin and put it on the dresser, and said in a light tone: "It's just to say something innocuous and insignificant." ”

"Princess, well, you should rest early. ”

Mu Jin thought of Su Weiyu coming, the corners of his mouth raised, but then he thought of Su Weiyu saying that he had someone he liked, could that person be her?

In the courtyard in the southwest, there are also people sitting by the window, looking at Haoyue and drinking without saying a word.

Su Weiyi pushed open the door and saw Su Weiyu sitting by the window, dashing.

"Fourth brother, what are you doing? Sitting there drinking alone?"

Su Weiyu didn't look back, but said, "Xiao Yi, you don't have a good rest, why did you come over?"

Su Weiyi sat down at the table, supporting his chin with both hands, with a sad expression.

"Fourth brother, what do you mean by what grandma said tonight? Do you really want you to marry that county lord?"

Su Weiyu jumped out of the window, threw the wine bottle on the table in front of Su Weiyi, and sat down.

"I've always treated Zi Ling as a sister, how could I marry her as a wife?"

"I know, the person that the fourth brother likes is Sister Mu, and the person he wants to marry is also Sister Mu!

Su Weiyu closed his eyes and did not answer Su Weiyi's words.

"Fourth brother, why don't you sneak away with Sister Mu, this is called... What's it called? Elopement! Yes, it's elopement!" Su Weiyi looked excited, as if he wanted to try it too.

Su Weiyu knocked him on the head: "What nonsense? Do you know your fourth brother's mind?"

"Ouch, fourth brother, I can see it a long time ago, you like Sister Mu, and you still don't admit it?" Su Weiyi laughed sheepishly.

Su Weiyu said in a rare and serious manner: "But how do I know what Miss Mu thinks in her heart?"

"Fourth brother, don't you just want to ask directly? Some things, if it's late, you can only regret it. ”

For the first time, Su Weiyu felt that the boy in front of him had grown up, and he was no longer the child who laughed and played all day long.
