The next day, when Mu Lingxue got up, her brother had already left. Qiangwei and Cui Hao's marriage was settled in front of her. The most important thing was to get her sale contract back. After breakfast, Mu Lingxue asked Zhao Zisheng to prepare the carriage.
, took Shuizhu and walked into the city.
Lin Chengzhi also shouted to go, but when he heard that he was going to Prince Rui's Mansion, he stopped talking. Finally, he said that Prince Rui was a evil man and ran away. Since he knew that he would come back after finishing his work, he stopped clamoring to follow him.
.
Cui Hao left early in the morning, because the drug store cannot live without people, so it was good. Otherwise, Qiangwei would have been shy and embarrassed to come out to meet people, but she became affectionate to Cui Ying, and there was no one else in the room last night.
My servant, no one said anything about Cui Ying's attitude at that time, so naturally there would be no barrier between Qiangwei and Cui Ying.
Seeing that the New Year is still around the corner, the capital city is also extremely lively. People buying and selling New Year goods make the streets very crowded. After the carriage enters the city, it stops and goes, and the speed slows down.
"I heard that General Mu's father was beaten and is still lying in bed unable to get up."
"We in the Western Jin Dynasty cannot afford to have such a general who has liaison with foreign enemies."
"If I had been there, I would have thrown stones instead of eggs."
"I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion let the dogs out. It seems that the Prime Minister is also dissatisfied with General Mu. But the strange thing is that the Prime Minister's Mansion went to General Mu's Mansion to propose marriage."
"What do you know about this? If a playboy, that is, a cousin, is willing to marry into her, a good daughter of any family would be willing to be sent to such a family to be ruined."
In the carriage, Mu Lingxue heard these discussions clearly. She was surprised and somewhat confused, "The Prime Minister's residence went to our residence to propose marriage?"
Shuizhu lowered his head guiltily, "My servant also found out later that on the day the master came back from divorce, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to propose marriage. I heard that my uncle only said that he would take a look and did not accept or refuse.
"
Mu Lingxue felt a headache, "Lin Chengzhi likes me? No?"
"Master, everyone has seen it, but you haven't discovered it yet."
Mu Lingxue was speechless. Looking back and thinking about the scenes with Lin Chengzhi, she suddenly realized that Lin Chengzhi didn't really like her, but he was too big-hearted to pay attention to it.
Shuizhu saw that the matter had been discussed today, so he might as well express his thoughts, "Master, I think that Young Master Lin is very kind to you. He is also infatuated. As soon as he sees you, he becomes like, like,
,,Anyway, I don’t have a choice, if the master marries her, he will definitely be happy.”
"What does he look like? Like a pug?" Mu Lingxue laughed first after saying this, "He is indeed a good person, but,,, I haven't thought about getting married yet, and he is the son of the prime minister, so I am not worthy of him.
"
"What's wrong with the Prime Minister's son? The Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to propose marriage in the first place. If the Prime Minister didn't agree, he wouldn't have asked anyone to propose marriage. Master, why are you not worthy of him? If it weren't for his infatuation with Master, my servant
I still feel that he is not worthy of his master."
Mu Lingxue smiled faintly. She really didn't expect that Prime Minister Lin would agree with Lin Chengzhi's nonsense and even let people come to propose marriage. She was also surprised and slightly moved in her heart.
He didn't care that she was divorced, but he came to propose marriage with great fanfare. No wonder Feng Guqiu said those words along the way to the north. This was the reason.
"Ah, Prince Xian has left the palace."
"What a handsome man. My heart fell in love with him once I took one look at him."
The street became noisy again, and the crowds rushed in one direction. The carriage stopped and was shaken by the crowd. Shuizhu twitched the corner of his mouth, lifted the curtain and looked outside, and then lowered the curtain.
"It's King Xian riding out."
Mu Lingxue leaned against the big pillow and closed her eyes, "Who else can make a woman on the street so excited but him."
To put it bluntly, even the mother would get excited when she saw him? Of course, except herself.
Shuizhu could see that his master didn't want to hear more about King Xian, so he stopped talking. The carriage just stopped, unable to move forward or back, and there was still a lot of noise in front of him.
Feng Guqiu was riding in a carriage. He had seen correctly just now. Even though it was just a glance, he saw that the girl next to the woman was sitting in the carriage. Since this was the case, the woman must also be in the carriage.
After getting the news that she would enter the city today, it turned out to be true. She just forgot about the crowds on the street and was actually stopped here and couldn't move forward. Feng Guqiu was anxious on the horse, but couldn't move a step.
Half an hour passed, and Mu Lingxue got impatient and said, "See if there are any alleys. Don't wait any longer, or it will get dark."
She has reached the end of her patience. She has a troublesome face, so she shouldn't go out on the streets randomly. She should also cover her face when going out on the streets. If she just goes out on the streets casually like this, isn't it harmful to people?
Cursing in his heart, after Shuizhu ordered the carriage outside, the carriage started to move. Mu Lingxue stopped cursing. Feng Guqiu, who was not far away, could only watch the carriage turn around and go away. The horse whip she held tightened, and she
What are you going to do at Prince Rui's Mansion?
The carriage went around the alley, walked two more streets, and finally stopped in front of Prince Rui's Mansion. Shuizhu got off first and knocked on the door. After the door opened, a boy poked his head out from inside.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, brother, let me know. The people from the Mu Mansion want to see Prince Rui."
"Mu's Mansion? General Mu's Mansion?" The young man looked Shuizhu up and down.
Shuizhu smiled faintly, "Small boy, I've only been away from the house for a year, and you don't even recognize me when you come?"
After his name was called, the trumpeter looked at Shuizhu. His eyes lit up, he laughed, and squeezed out of the door, "So it's Sister Shuizhu. Didn't you go to Prince Xian's Mansion?"
"Yes, the prince gave me to Princess Xian. Now that Princess Xian has returned to the Mu family, I followed the master myself. The prince is in the house, helping to spread the word that my master wants to see the prince."
The trumpet hesitated for a moment, "Sister Shuizhu, wait a moment."
If it had been anyone else, he would have refused on the spot, but Shuizhu had taken good care of them when they were in the mansion. Although they were just gatekeepers in the front yard, Shuizhu was working in the prince's study at that time and took good care of them.
Moreover, he was in trouble because the prince had returned to the palace, but no one was allowed to spread the news. He was a little hesitant to drive people away directly, but thinking about the favors he had received in the past, he gritted his teeth and went in.
Reported.
Feng Guran was sitting in the study room. Hearing the servants outside asking for an audience, Feng Guran curled his lips and said, "Let someone come in."
The little boy was stunned. He knew about it without informing the prince. I guess the prince had already known that someone was coming, and he thought he was going to be punished. But unexpectedly, nothing happened. Hearing the tone of the prince, he seemed to be very happy.
The cheerful response faded away.
Not long after, I heard the guard outside reporting, "Sir, people are here."
With a creak, the door was opened by someone from the outside, and two figures walked in one after another.
"A commoner woman has met King Rui." Mu Lingxue was blessed.
Shuizhu followed behind and said hello, standing with his head bowed.
"It's rare, I'll give you a seat." Feng Guran's voice made it impossible to hear his happiness and anger.
But his condescending tone made Mu Lingxue unhappy. Forget it, you can sit down if you want to sit down. Who wants to be the prince? After sitting down, a servant from outside also brought tea in. After putting it away, he left.
The room was quiet again. Mu Lingxue didn't come here to drink tea. She was ready to talk about the journey, and then she spoke, "Your Majesty, the civilian woman came to Prince Rui's Mansion today because she has something to ask of Your Majesty."
Feng Guran gave a charming smile, "Don't worry, let's try this tea first and see how it goes?"
She came to ask for help, so it was hard to refuse. Mu Lingxue could only pick up the tea and take a sip. She didn't know much about these things, but after entering the tea, a faint fragrance spread in her mouth, but she didn't
It's so boring, it's really good.
“Good tea.”
Feng Guran's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, "This is the new tea that I brought back from Jiangnan this time. I heard that it is the first tea after the cold dew. The fragrance is not offensive, but also has a slightly cold taste of autumn."
."
"A commoner's woman is just a commoner, how can she compare with the prince." Mu Lingxue said politely, "The prince gave the two girls Shuizhu and Qiangwei to the commoner as girls, but now they are older and it's time to talk about marriage.
When it comes time to get married, the common woman gave Qiangwei a family, but she also promised to give the girl her freedom, so today I came to beg the prince to give them their selling contract to the common woman."
Feng Guran raised his eyebrows and said lightly. Mu Lingxue waited for a long time, thinking that he was going to speak, but there was no movement after thinking about it. Then she looked up and found that he had been staring.
Looking at it myself, my ears couldn't help but feel warm. This man's gaze was too naked, and he glared at me secretly angrily.
Seeing the smile on his lips getting bigger and bigger, she realized that this man was just waiting for her to be like this. Mu Lingxue's face turned hot, she was so rude.
"They came out of Prince Rui's Mansion and got married. As my former master, I have to say that this is their selling contract and some silver notes to buy their dowry." Feng Guran put the box on hand.
Push forward.
Well?
Mu Lingxue looked at him blankly, then smiled and said, "The women of the common people thanked the prince on their behalf."
While asking Shuizhu to get the box, why did she feel that Feng Guran was much better than Feng Guqiu? Could it be because it gave her some benefits? It seemed that she was easily bribed.
The two of them left Prince Rui's Mansion and sat back in the carriage. Mu Lingxue still felt that she was in a dream. After taking the box and opening it, she saw that in addition to the contract of betrayal and the banknote, there was also a white jade hairpin inside.
Got angry.
Two people are getting married, who should this hairpin be given to?
Mu Lingxue picked it up and looked at it. It seemed that this thing was not cheap.
Shuizhu smiled and said, "Master, don't even think about it. Anyway, it's just this one. I'm the only one who wears it. I don't have any accessories."
Without waiting for the other party's consent, he took the hairpin and inserted it directly into Zai's bun. He nodded with satisfaction, "It looks really good."
Anyway, it was just a hairpin. Mu Lingxue accepted it without saying anything.
