The Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with chaos, and Mu Lingxue, who was still halfway there, looked at Lin Chengzhi who ran away like crazy. He shook his head, forget it, there is no time to pay attention to him now. At this time, his eldest brother was almost waiting in the mansion.
By yourself?
General Mu's Mansion is located in the most prosperous area of Kyoto. It was once the royal palace of the previous generation. Today, the emperor only has one brother. After he was separated from the palace, he got sick before he had any heirs. Therefore, the palace has always been empty. Even the queen wanted to
Even Prince Rui couldn't get this mansion, which shows how important this palace is to the emperor.
Now it has been changed to General Mu's Mansion, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to General Mu. Now everyone is staring at General Mu's Mansion, and all those who come to congratulate him are turned away.
Until an inconspicuous carriage arrived outside the general's mansion, and a girl came down to say a few words to the guards. The door of General Mu's mansion, which had been tightly closed, opened, and the carriage went directly in. This made everyone's eyes almost disappear.
Eyes fall out.
People couldn't help but talk, "Who is this?"
"I heard that General Mu is Princess Xian's brother. Could it be Princess Xian?"
"Bah, I still have time for the princess. She has been divorced by the emperor's decree a long time ago."
"That must be Princess Xian. She will naturally return to her parents' home after being divorced. General Mu used to be a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Later, he was defeated and sent to the border for collaborating with the enemy. If such a person can betray the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he will definitely betray us.
In the Western Jin Dynasty, people like this will not end well. The emperor asked King Xian to retire Princess Xian, so that was just preparation in advance."
"Oh, such villains often gain wisdom, have you heard? There is also a second young lady in the Mu family. She is the concubine that Prince Rui married a few days ago. This family has been promoted."
There are people who talk about ethics in the crowd, but they don't punish the envious people. A guilty man turns around and becomes a general. How can he not make people jealous? They will never be able to do such a good thing in their lives.
.
Mu Lingxue got off the carriage. The General's Mansion was a hundred times more gorgeous than Prince Xian's, and even more so, Prince Rui's Mansion. I didn't expect that the Emperor would value his eldest brother so much. I really don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse.
I saw a man stepping forward to greet me, "Chen Wu has met the eldest lady."
He has a handsome face, he is no more than thirty years old, and his eyes are steady. Mu Lingxue looked at her body and said, "I wonder who this is?"
"Master, this is my uncle's subordinate." Qiangwei reminded in a low voice.
Mu Lingxue then called out again, "I've met the Fifth Master."
Since he has always been by his side, he must be his right-hand man. He can be with him through life and death, and even follow him after he is in trouble. He is an admirable person.
Chen Wu hurriedly ignored him and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously."
Shuizhu noticed with sharp eyes that the base of Chen Wu's ears turned red. Judging from his age, didn't he like his master?
Mu Lingxue didn't pay much attention when she arrived, but she saw her sister-in-law Song Cailian coming with her maid. She looked like she was not too gorgeous in her clothes, she was simple and elegant, and she was not vain because of her wealth. She was really a good woman.
"Sister-in-law"
Song Cailian pulled her smile and said with a smile, "Ever since last night I heard your eldest brother said he would be back today, I started to clean up. Fortunately, I caught up. Are you tired? Go back to your yard first. I wanted to go back to your yard today.
I'm going to pick you up with Mr. Lin, but I'm afraid of affecting your eldest brother's reputation so I didn't go. Sister, don't think too much about it."
Mu Lingxue vomited, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I don't care, let's go back to the yard first."
When everyone said they were leaving, Chen Wuzhi stepped aside politely. He didn't raise his head until no one could be seen anymore, and quietly looked at the door of the courtyard, which made a noise, and then turned around and left.
With a faint smile on his face, after so many years, the figure hiding behind people has actually turned into a phoenix, standing high and full of emotions in his heart. I remember that when I returned to the capital with my master, it was
The first time I saw this little girl at General Mu's Mansion, she was hiding weakly behind the servants. Even when she saw her brother, she hid behind people and didn't dare to come out. Her weak appearance made people want to protect her.
.
Later, something happened in the Mu Mansion, and the master tried his best to save this sister, which was expected. Later, these scattered subordinates were originally supposed to stay by the eldest lady's side, but they were told by the master not to be around, in order to encourage them to cause trouble.
Others are confused.
Who could have expected that so many things would happen later? No wonder the master feels so guilty now. They, who are brothers, have no shame in speaking to him, and no shame in treating his master as brothers.
Mu Lingxue's courtyard is the best and quietest place in the entire palace. What's surprising is that there is a plum tree in the courtyard, and you can smell the fragrance of plum trees before entering the courtyard.
"I guessed that you would like it. As soon as your elder brother came into the house and saw this courtyard, he said that he would leave this courtyard to you. I heard from your elder brother that my sister was a talented woman back then and she liked these things the most. It's not like we are just common people.
." Song Cailian smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Mu Lingxue was a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, you are such a talented woman. It's just a rumor spread by everyone. But I really like this courtyard. Thank you, sister-in-law."
I don’t know what Feng Guqiu would think if he knew that he lived in a forest of plum trees. At first, he just wanted to see a few plum trees, but he had the trees cut down. This stingy man now has a forest of his own.
Already.
Mu Lingxue regained her composure slightly, why did she think of that man? It was really unlucky. She should be happy to be away from him. She also thought that he was too troublesome, so she followed her sister-in-law into the house.
There were no fancy things in the room, it was elegant and simple, which she liked. Song Cailian looked on and smiled knowingly. As expected, it was the husband and wife who understood her sister-in-law best.
Mu Lingxue lay down on the bed with abandon, "Sister-in-law, it's better to be at home."
Song Cailian asked Qiangwei to take out the clothes she had prepared in advance from the wardrobe, "This is because you have a family. If you have any grievances in your heart in the future, remember to tell your sister-in-law and get up and see if you like these clothes? These are your eldest brother's special choice.
"
Hearing that her eldest brother had chosen it for her, Mu Lingxue sat up funny and twitched her lips when she saw the color of the clothes. Shuizhu and Qiangwei couldn't help but laugh out loud. These bright red, green and pink ones were also
As long as my uncle can choose.
Song Cailian looked at her bitter face and smiled, "Your eldest brother told me that you are wearing too plain clothes, so you chose these clothes. It's up to you."
"Put it away, put the big red one outside, and change it for me later." Although she didn't want it to be too flashy, her brother's kindness warmed her heart, so how could she refuse.
Qiangwei Cui responded, smiling and went away with Shuizhu. The two of them also deliberately avoided it, knowing that the uncle's wife wanted to talk to her master alone. After Qiangwei retreated, the smile on her face faded.
"You, you have a very clear mind, but you just can't think about it." Shuizhu shook his head softly.
Qiangwei looked slightly embarrassed, "Did you see it?"
It was obvious that he had not returned to the palace several times since his uncle came back. How could Shuizhu notice it? If Shuizhu noticed it, would others also notice it?
What about my uncle? Have you noticed it a long time ago? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
Shuizhu took her to a place where no one was around, "Don't think too much and don't feel embarrassed. It's not shameful. It's just that you can see what kind of temperament my uncle has. You really have thought about it."
Want to be a concubine? The important thing is, will my uncle agree to take a concubine? Although I don’t know much, but with my uncle’s understanding, for such a smart woman, if you enter the house, you will only suffer yourself. You were happy at the beginning
When I got back to the house, I saw that something was wrong with you. At that time, I thought that you would think differently sooner or later, but now that my uncle has become a general again, I am afraid it will be harder for you to take it back."
Qiangwei bit her lip, "I know, I understand everything you said, and I understand it in my heart, but I just can't control myself. But don't worry, I won't let the master worry. My uncle is a good woman, and I won't either."
I'm going to make her sad."
Shuizhu pulled her over with a sigh, "That's right, the sadness will eventually pass. You are not an ordinary girl now. If you are in charge of the master's shop outside, in the future you will be able to get rid of your slave status and marry a woman, and you will be a head of the house."
Yes, if you have children in the future, you can also take the exam and obtain academic status."
Qiangwei nodded bitterly, Shuizhu knew that there was no need to say more, and what she said today had to be allowed to be digested slowly, as long as she was not confused.
In the main room, there were no outsiders, and Song Cailian said softly, "I feel relieved to see that you are such a good sister-in-law. Your elder brother was still very worried when he left in the morning. He said that you should let me give you a good advice after you return home. I see this
It saves money."
"Sister-in-law, I have asked you to worry." Mu Lingxue's eyes grew hot when her relatives were concerned.
"Silly girl"
Song Cailian had just finished speaking when he saw a little girl running in in a panic, "Madam, it's bad, someone said that Concubine Mu broke into the house."
"Mu Lingyun?" Mu Lingxue sat up from the bed and sneered, "She is really brave. She dared to break into the general's mansion. I don't know if it was her own intention or Prince Rui's."
Song Cailian also stood up and calmly scolded the girl who broke in, "Where are the rules? If someone breaks into the general's mansion without informing them, it is because the guards are negligent in their duties. As a servant, you are in a panic and have no rules.
, go down and get the five sticks.”
The little girl didn't dare to argue, "I know I was wrong."
Mu Lingxue secretly admired her, she was the mistress of the house.
"Sister-in-law is so majestic. I didn't see her flying up the branches before." Mu Lingyun walked in before the hearty laughter could stop.
Mu Lingxue looked at the domineering Mu Lingyun. She broke in on her first day home, and her good mood was completely ruined. It was really disappointing, but she wanted to see what Mu Lingyun was like.
How could he barge in so arrogantly, not to fix things but to tear things apart?
It is indeed Mu Lingyun's style to offend people with his words as soon as he comes in. It's okay, because the eldest brother has such relatives who will drag him down, so it's better to get rid of them all at once.
