Although General Chang's Mansion does not hold large banquets for guests during the New Year, some officials or subordinates who were close to him in the past will still come to greet them. Of course, they will not make a big fuss. Even so, Lin Zhu feels that he and Fu Dou'er are not suitable for each other.
Stay a little longer.
The biggest reason is still Fu Dou'er. Although there have been many rumors from the outside world that the General's Mansion will recognize the two children as god-granddaughters and god-grandsons, they have not been officially revealed yet. It would be inappropriate to appear here too early.
Okay. More importantly, Lin Zhu was afraid that Fu Dou'er's appearance would attract some people's attention.
So after the people sent by the emperor to reward him left, Lin Zhu took Fu Dou'er back to his new home.
General Chang also specially sent a carriage from the palace to transport them, and Chang Shi was also assigned as a coachman to escort them all the way home.
Lin Zhu thought that there would be fewer pedestrians on the road during the New Year. Unexpectedly, although there were fewer pedestrians, carriages would bump into one or a few from time to time. Chang Shi explained that they were probably going to pay New Year greetings.
And the route that Lin Zhu and the others took was a route that many officials would take, so they had many opportunities. This was also the purpose of General Chang sending the carriage in the mansion.
There were marks on the general's carriage, and ordinary officials would take the initiative to get out of the way when they saw it. That's why Lin Zhu and the others traveled so smoothly.
When they arrived at their new home, Lin Zhu and Fu Douer took Minglu and others out of the carriage. They saw the newly decorated door. Not only was there a big word "Fu" on it, but there were also Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the door.
Red lanterns were hung on the protruding eaves, which was very festive.
"Sister, lantern." Fu Dou'er was wearing red clothes. She looked round and round, like a lantern.
Lin Zhu looked at him and then at the lantern, smiled and nodded.
"Come in quickly, it's cold outside." Lin Zhu took Fu Dou'er's hand and entered the door.
When I arrived at the front hall, I found an unexpected person sitting on a chair drinking tea leisurely. The waiter next to him also looked respectful. Those who didn't know better thought he was the owner?
"Fourth Uncle." Fu Dou'er happily rushed over and threw herself on the man.
"Good boy. It seems that you have eaten a lot of delicious food recently." The person who came was none other than Mu Qiyue. Because he was a little impatient, he didn't expect to arrive earlier than Lin Zhu and the others. Fortunately, Feng Yuanbo knew him, otherwise he would have been replaced by another one.
No one would let him into the house.
"When did Fourth Young Master Mu come?" Lin Zhu's expression was a little serious. He would come here at this time, wouldn't something happen? What Lin Zhu was most worried about was that Mu Qiyue couldn't handle the situation with the emperor, and some disputes would arise out of nothing.
Come today, General Chang sorted out many things given by the emperor and asked her to bring them back.
"It's time for a cup of tea earlier than you." Mu Qiyue glanced at Lin Zhu and smiled slightly. "It's Chinese New Year, won't Fu Dou'er give New Year greetings to your fourth uncle?"
"Happy New Year to my fourth uncle. I wish you good health and all the best." Fu Dou'er kowtowed to Mu Qiyue very obediently and said some auspicious words.
Lin Zhu looked at it with black lines on his head and said to himself: Fu Dou'er is too real, why should he kneel down and kowtow in such a cold ground? General Chang just kowtows because he is an elder, but Mu Qi
You are so young, what are you talking about? Besides, you haven’t recognized your ancestors yet.
As if knowing Lin Zhu's disapproval, Mu Qiyue raised his head and glanced at her. Then he took out a big red envelope and handed it to Fu Dou'er's hand. "You need lucky money for the New Year. Come on, Fu Dou'er takes it."
"Thank you, Uncle Fourth." Children will be very happy when they receive a red envelope, and they don't care how much money is in it. He stood up and sat next to Mu Qiyue, and whispered about the New Year celebrations at General Chang's Mansion.
.
Because it was the Chinese New Year and everyone was happy, Lin Zhu didn't say much and asked Mu Qiyue and Fu Dou'er to wait while she went to change clothes.
Lin Zhu had just come back from outside, and felt that she had to tidy up before going out to meet guests.
Wangcun Zhuangzi was handed over to Lin Yi and others to manage it. During the Chinese New Year, Feng Yuanbo came to Lin Zhu's new house to help.
Of course we came as a family, including Xu’s mother and son.
After changing clothes and washing up, Lin Zhucai went to Feng Yuanbo and asked about the situation of the new house.
"Uncle Feng, are you still used to being here?" He couldn't go to the front hall to talk. There happened to be a small living room in the main courtyard where Lin Zhu lived, so the two of them started talking there.
"The new yard is very good and everything is very complete. I have to thank General Chang very much." Feng Yuanbo was very satisfied with the new home.
"That's good." Lin Zhu nodded. This house is larger than the previous house in the capital. Although it has three entrances, the layout is very good.
In addition to the main courtyard where Lin Zhu lives, there are two side courtyards, one front yard and one backyard. The bluestone paths connect the various yards, so even in rainy and snowy weather, there is no need to worry about getting your shoes and socks wet. After some repairs,
, the previous obsolescence can no longer be seen, everything looks very neat and clean.
In winter, the characteristics of the yard cannot be seen, and the trees have no leaves. However, looking at the many thick trees in the yard, Lin Zhu can imagine how green it will be after spring.
"But girl, Fourth Master Mu brought a lot of things, saying they were for the New Year, and they were all put in the warehouse."
Hearing Feng Yuanbo mention Mu Qiyue, Lin Zhu frowned slightly, "Didn't he say anything after he came?" Lin Zhu didn't want to drive him away, but she just felt that he came too unexpectedly during the Chinese New Year.
"Fourth Master didn't say anything, but it looked like he wasn't planning to leave today." Feng Yuanbo felt a little bitter in his heart and said to himself, even if you are a relative of Master Fu, you are carrying a lot of things on the New Year's Day.
As soon as I walked in, I acted like I was going to live here, which was so inappropriate.
But except for Fu Dou'er, Lin Zhu, and Mu Qiyue, who could still be kind to Yan Yan, others couldn't get the slightest bit of good looks from him.
Although he intended to object, before Feng Yuanbo could say anything, the knife flew over. This made him feel very uneasy, so he had to wait for Lin Zhu to come back before making any plans.
"What?" Lin Zhu was so surprised when he heard this. How could he, a grown man, live in the home of a twelve-year-old girl during the Chinese New Year? Although he was related by blood to one of the masters, he was too
It's too abrupt.
"He said he couldn't leave?" Lin Zhu asked with wide eyes.
"I didn't say anything, but I've asked people to clean up the backyard and put it together with Master Fu's." Feng Yuanbo looked at Lin Zhu's face.
Mu Qiyue's behavior is no different from what he said.
"His brain is too good for a donkey, no, is the door jammed?" Lin Zhu originally wanted to say that he was kicked by a donkey, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt that it was too damaging to her image, so she changed her words.
However, Feng Yuanbo was still startled by her words. Was his girl using vulgar words?!
Lin Zhu seemed to realize that he had accidentally said the wrong thing just now, and Lin Zhu was also a little embarrassed. "Uncle Feng, later, you should ask Fourth Young Master Mu what he thinks. If you are celebrating the New Year, if you don't go home to fulfill your filial piety, stay with us
Something seems wrong here."
Hearing what Lin Zhu said, Feng Yuanbo had some strange expressions on his face, and he seemed hesitant to speak. He wanted to leave but didn't want to leave. Lin Zhu was a little surprised when he saw it, "Uncle Feng, are you okay?"
"Girl." Feng Yuanbo said as if he had made up his mind, "Fourth Master Mu left Prince Qing's Mansion." Feng Yuanbo was embarrassed to say the word being driven out, "There were rumors in the capital that Prince Qing's Mansion had severed ties with him."
Seeing Lin Zhu's expression that he knew about this, Feng Yuanbo took a deep breath and said, "Master Lu bought some things from Zhuangzi a few days ago, saying they were for New Year's gifts when Fourth Master Mu returned home.
Yes, but this freshman in junior high school is coming to our place." He looked at Lin Zhu and expressed his guess, "I guess it's not necessarily that Prince Qing's Mansion has caused some embarrassment to Fourth Master Mu."
At this point, Lin Zhu also understood what Feng Yuanbo meant. It seemed that Mu Qiyue also had a hard time reciting. She originally thought that the incident had faded away and Mu Qiyue should be able to go home, but not
Come to think of it, there is a deeper inside story.
"Forget it, let's talk about him later." Lin Zhu thought to himself that he couldn't rub salt into other people's hearts. The Chinese New Year is a happy time, and it wouldn't hurt to have him around.
However, Minglu looked embarrassed at the side. Knowing that Mu Qiyue had a bad reputation, and that he had hugged Lin Zhu before, Minglu kept trying to keep them away without any trace. Who would succeed?
I thought, but they were getting closer and closer, which had a great impact on Lin Zhu's reputation as a best friend.
She had the intention to mention it to Lin Zhu again, but she didn't want to be called a fuss like the last time Lin Zhu was hugged while drunk. And she didn't want too many people to know about it, so she set the target of dissuasion on Mu Qiyue.
The bodyguard of Mu Yun.
Mu Qiyue's Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing has been managed by Mu Feng and Mu Yun, and Mu Feng has been staying in Zhuangzi since he got married to Zhao Xiaocao.
So Mu Qiyue was followed by Mu Yun when he went out. This time when he came to Lin Zhu's house, of course Mu Yun came with him. Mu Qiyue lived in the backyard, and he also lived in the side room in the backyard. Just when he felt that he had made friends
Fortunately, he was able to eat and drink in Lin Zhu's place. Unexpectedly, someone had an idea for him, and even made him lose the benefits of good food and drink at Lin Zhu's house.
Before Ming Lu was treated with Mu Yun, Feng Yuanbo took people to see where Mu Qiyue lived to see if there were any improper arrangements.
In this way, Mu Qiyue certainly knew that Lin Zhu agreed to let him stay. A satisfied and successful smile appeared on his face.
When he came here, he thought about Fu Dou'er on the one hand, and of course he also wanted to get closer to Lin Zhu. On the other hand, he had already arranged some things. Once exposed, let's not talk about the impact, there will definitely be someone.
Suspicion will creep into his head, and furthermore, he will be searched for traces of him everywhere.
But he doesn’t want to meet those people yet. Lin Zhu is a good safe haven. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
