As soon as he entered the door, he heard the housekeeper say that his mother was looking for him. He said with a pale face: "I'll go back and wash my face first. Why does my mother want to see me?"
The butler smiled very ambiguously, "Of course it's a good thing. General, please go back and freshen up immediately. Madam has reserved a table tonight and is going out to eat with the general."
Murong Shang was immersed in his own sorrow and did not notice the ambiguous look in the butler's eyes. However, he was not in the mood to go out for dinner at the moment. He responded calmly: "Tell Madam that I won't go tonight. I'm very tired."
The butler was slightly stunned, "That's not good, my wife has already booked a table."
"Let her go eat with her father!" After that, he went straight back to his house through the corridor without passing through the main hall.
The housekeeper went back to visit Madam Murong. Madam Murong asked, "Where did the general go today?"
The housekeeper said: "I heard from the guards that the general went to the palace today and probably discussed matters with the prince."
Madam Murong pondered for a moment and said: "That is probably because of state affairs, but I have already made an appointment with Madam Marquis, and this matter cannot be changed. Okay, you go ahead, I will personally go and persuade him."
The butler responded and went down.
Madam Murong said to Jing'er behind her: "Take out that red dress for me. I will wear that one tonight."
Jing'er responded: "Yes, madam!"
After Mrs. Murong finished speaking, she moved out.
Murong Shang returned to the room and lay motionless on the bed, looking at everything in the room. This was once the new house he prepared for Ye Rong, the life he once dreamed of, but in the end, everything came to nothing. In the beginning,
Sometimes, he didn't dare to come into this house. When he got drunk one night
Finally he stepped into the new house and looked at everything arranged in the house. It was like his dream. He found that even in the dream, he could feel a little bit of warmth. Just like that, he moved into the new house.
, this new house only has the groom, who decided to spend his whole life waiting for his bride.
The door creaked open, and then he saw a figure opening the curtain and coming in. He sat up. In this room, someone could come in without knocking, and there was no one else but his parents.
"Shang'er, what are you unhappy about?" Madam Murong saw Murong Shang sitting on the bed, his hair slightly messy, and there was still a trace of pain on his face. Of course, the pain dissipated quickly.
Murong Shang rubbed his face with his hands, "It's okay. I'm tired today. Why is mother here?"
Ever since he learned about what Madam Murong did to sisters Ye Rong and Ye Qing, Murong Shang has always called her mother. In the past, he always called her mother affectionately. Nowadays, although the word mother is also used in the world
The most beautiful noun, but when he shouted it without a trace of warmth, it made people feel unfamiliar.
Madam Murong knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so she forgave him for being so unfamiliar. She always believed that mother and son had no hatred, and his anger and hatred would fade away sooner or later. She had plenty of time to wait for him, but...
She can wait for him to forgive him, wait for him to come out of the shadows, and continue to make arrangements for his marriage. Today, she can
Mrs. Dehou helped the princess and Princess Ning'an come out to meet each other. This Princess Ning'an has a beautiful appearance and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has just turned sixteen and is not yet married. The most important thing is that she
She was born into a noble family, and she was an out-and-out lady. She was infinitely better than the woman who sold gold ingots, candles and incense.
Of course, if Murong Shang could become the prince's son-in-law, he would have a bright future.
Madam Murong sat on the chair and said softly: "Do you still remember Madam Ning Qinghou?"
Mrs. Ning Qinghou was the stepmother of Ning Qinghou. When Murong Shang was young, she went to live in Ning Qinghou's home for a while. At that time, Mrs. Ning Qinghou liked him very much and once said that she would adopt him as her adopted son.
, but because she already had three sons, she had to give up. However, she has maintained a very good relationship with Murong Shuang over the years. Even Ning Qinghou, whenever someone targeted Murong Shuang in the court, he would
He spoke upright and solved many crises for Murong Shang.
Therefore, Murong Shang respected Ning Qinghou and his wife very much.
"Of course I remember, but didn't Mrs. Ning Qinghou go to Huainan?" Murong Shang asked.
"I'm back. I asked you to have dinner tonight. I thought it was at home, but later the Marquis said that a Jiangnan chef came to Juxian House and the food was delicious. You know the Marquis.
If there is nothing important to eat, if there is good food to eat, he must be
I wanted to join in the fun, so I made an appointment at Juxian Building. If you are too tired, my mother will call them back for you and say that you are not feeling well. In that case, there is no reason to be rude." Mrs. Murong retreated.
In order to advance, I laughed and spoke in a genuine way.
Murong Shang heard that Madam Marquis invited him, so naturally he couldn't refuse, and said: "Okay, then I'll change my clothes first, and my mother will go back and freshen up first. By the way, where is dad?"
"Your father went to watch paintings with a few scholars. There was a talented man in the capital. He was an outstanding painter and was good at landscape painting. Your father has always liked this, so why didn't you go quickly after hearing about it?" Mrs. Murong said with a smile, trying to follow him.
Talk about some common topics.
Murong Shan said: "Yes, I understand!"
In the evening, before the sun had completely set, the mother and son went out.
Murong Shang was wearing a white brocade robe today. His face was slightly thinner than before, with sharp edges and corners. Between his eyebrows, there was a hint of melancholy and a hint of dignity. Such a man could tell at a glance that he was a man with a story. He
All the emotions are accumulated in the bottom of my heart, which makes me look even more condensed and depressed.
Today, Yin Le and Chu Ye also made an appointment to have dinner in the Juxian Building. The two were in the same private room, separated only by a screen. As soon as the two sat down, they heard someone talking next door.
"Master Marquis, don't you think it's not good for us to hide this from Shan'er tonight?" The speaker was a deep mezzo-soprano, with a hint of hesitation and guilt in her tone.
A rough male voice said, "Shang'er is already twenty-six this year. At his age, to put it bluntly, his son is already seven or eight years old, but just for a woman from a coffin shop, do you think it's worth it? If it's good,
She’s just a woman, but she’s a dirty woman.”
Chu Ye whispered: "It's Ning Qinghou and his wife."
Yin Le also lowered his voice and said: "The reward they are talking about is not your hard-working brother Murong reward, is it?"
Chu Ye shook his head, "I don't know, just listen to it first. Hey, I wanted to have a quiet meal with you tonight, but it's all my fault that I asked him to come over earlier to book a private room. He doesn't even know what mushrooms are."
It's over." At the end of the sentence, his tone was a little unhappy.
Yin Le reached out and stroked his eyebrows, comforting: "Isn't it better now? Let's do business and private things together."
Chu Ye took her hand and asked, "Why don't we change places."
Yin Le shook his head and gossiped: "No, wouldn't it be better if we eavesdropped on someone else's blind date party? Besides, I haven't seen a blind date yet. I want to see it!"
Chu Ye shook his head and said angrily: "What's so good about her? Ah Sheng will definitely not like that girl. He has someone in his heart."
