He Mucheng followed Ji Yunyuan's steps without squinting, taking in everything.
It seems that Ji Yunyuan recognized Shi Hu as a grandson, and Wang Xuan has already explained it clearly for him.
She curled her lips in satisfaction and thought, this Wang Xuan is quite reliable in his work.
But the following discussion made the corners of He Mucheng's mouth tremble unconsciously:
"Hey, who are the three girls behind Nan's Ayan?"
"Look at how they style my sister-in-law's hair. Could it be that they are beauties brought back from the Jie tribe?"
"Maybe it's Ji Yunyuan's concubine. The road is long and dark, and General Ji is young and energetic. There is only one Nan clan Ayan, so I'm afraid it won't be enough..."
He Mucheng gradually became gnashing his teeth!
No, why are these people so gossipy? Do these ancient people like to make things out of nothing when they have nothing to do?
She was feeling depressed when she saw a middle-aged man in official uniform walking quickly, followed by a young man with facial features somewhat similar to hers.
"Ayan, you are finally back!" The middle-aged man crossed the crowd and stood directly in front of He Mucheng. The young man behind him also looked happy.
He Mucheng searched for the information in the book. The person in front of him was undoubtedly Nan Yan's father Nan Mo, and the young man behind him was Nan Mo's legitimate son and Nan Yan's elder brother, Nan Ting.
When Wang Dun invaded Jiankang, He Mucheng asked Wang Xuan to bring a message to Nan Mo. This was to reassure Wang Xuan and to give an innocuous reminder that Nan Mo was loyal to the Sima family, which is also the direction in the book.
However, because what she and He Mucheng did during this period had already spread in Jiankang, it was also an honor for Nanmo that an inconspicuous little concubine could have a place beside Ji Yunyuan.
That's why Nan Mo looked at her differently, but in fact, Nan Yan and her father had lived in two places since they were young. Apart from their blood relationship, they had no special ties.
"Ayan, my father and brother miss you very much." Nan Ting reached out and patted He Mucheng's head with a warm smile.
He Mucheng blessed her body and performed a standard woman's courtesy. She leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Father, I want to protect someone. Let me tell you that he is your concubine Nan Hong. Only you know about this."
You know, you can’t be a third person, so what?”
Nan Mo was stunned for a moment, probably because he saw that his daughter was quite capable, so he nodded immediately.
Seeing this, He Mucheng straightened his back and shouted loudly to the ship behind him, "Hong'er, come out and see your father, don't be upset."
Shi Hong heard He Mucheng's call and finally walked out of the ship. Behind him were a group of maids from the Nan family, including Nan Yan's personal maid Ah Ying and the old man from Wei Che.
Shi Hong walked in the front, his figure was a little weak, as if the river wind could blow him away if it was stronger.
Seeing him approaching, He Mucheng couldn't help but grabbed Shi Hong's arm and scolded him loudly, "How could father not want you? My sister has told you that you are father's son and brother's brother. They will be like him."
I love you as much as my sister..."
Shi Hong lowered his head and said nothing, with a pale expression.
Questions rang out from all around:
"Is this the younger brother of Nan's Ayan? How come I haven't heard of him?"
"With my brother by my side and my servants following me, this girl is innocent. Don't criticize the patient's sister-in-law anymore..."
Only then did He Mucheng curl his lips in satisfaction, and then gestured to Shi Hong, "Why don't you go see your father?"
Shi Hong stretched out his hand, bowed his hands, and bowed respectfully, "I've met my father."
Nan Mo nodded slightly, and at this moment, Sima Shao also came to the side of several people.
"I held a reception banquet for the general in this small building by the river. General Ji is tired from traveling and traveling. Why don't you come with me for a few drinks?"
Sima Shao behaved gracefully, just like meeting Ji Yunyuan for the first time.
Ji Yunyuan nodded in return.
The group of people entered a royal courtyard by the river.
The main hall was magnificent, and He Mucheng looked around and felt that the Lucheng Palace was already extremely luxurious, but compared with the other courtyards in front of him, it was far behind.
The other courtyard is already so gorgeous, how can a real palace be compared?
He Mucheng was looking forward to seeing the Chinese orthodox Jinzhi Palace.
Just as he was thinking about it, everyone had already taken their seats, with Sima Shao taking the main seat and Shi Hong sitting next to Nan Mo. As Ji Yunyuan's retainer, she was naturally with Ji Yunyuan.
A maid moved the screen, and Dong Ning, Xiqian and Bei Zhi knelt and sat behind the screen. He Mucheng clearly saw the unscrupulous looks and ridicule in the eyes of some men.
A few people exchanged pleasantries before hearing a sneer, "The pretty man next to General Ji is A Yan of the Nan family? This look is quite novel, but is it done deliberately to please General Ji?"
He Mucheng looked up and saw a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table where he was sitting. He was about the same age as Nan Mo, and the young man beside him was the one who was making fun of him.
The two of them are second only to Sima Shao, and it seems that they have quite high official positions.
"This is..." He Musheng deliberately dragged out his voice with curiosity on his face.
The man straightened his clothes and said proudly, "Wu Xing, Shen, and Shen Han."
Wuxing Shen family?
He Mucheng thought about the characters in the book. She had never heard of Shen Han, but she knew that Shen Chong was Wang Dun's minion. If she guessed correctly, the old man in charge should be Shen Chong.
Thinking of this, He Mucheng bowed his hands to Shen Chong, "General Shen, may I ask who this is..."
She said this with a very pious attitude, as if she was telling everyone that she knew General Shen Chong, but she had no idea who this Shen Han was.
Shen Chong frowned and replied in a nonchalant manner, "This is my nephew, Shen Erlang, a member of the Shen family."
"Oh~" He Mucheng and Ji Yunyuan looked at each other and smiled slightly. When she turned her head to look at Shen Han again, her smile faded again, she shook her head and said, "Never heard of it."
Her appearance was quite playful, and the solemn atmosphere in the hall was relieved for a while. Even Sima Shao on the high platform clenched his fists and coughed lightly on his lips to cover up his embarrassment.
Shen Han was very displeased at being humiliated. He slapped the table and shouted coldly, "How unbecoming is it for you, a girl, to sit at the same table with a man when you are unmarried? Look at the other beauties behind General Ji, which one is not as good as
Are you virtuous?"
The opportunity has come!
He Mucheng straightened his back, raised his lips and smiled, "Mr. Sir, please pay attention to your words. The girls behind the screen are not General Ji's beauties, but my beauties."
Seeing that everyone in the hall was interested, she added, "These three sisters were separated from their servants on the way south. Fortunately, they met me in time, so I allowed the three of them to come with me. Later they went
Zhao Guo, because Shi Hu was lustful, I disguised myself as a man and took the pseudonym He Musheng, and the three of them became my nominal concubines."
As soon as these words came out, it was clear that Dong Ning, Xiqian and Bei Zhi had their names corrected.
All the guests in the hall are famous people in Jiankang City. There is no occasion more suitable than this moment.
Shen Han didn't take it seriously and snorted coldly, "In that case, what qualifications do you have to sit at the same table with a man?"
He Mucheng innocently frowned and said, "General Ji allowed it. I am General Ji's retainer, not yours. Do you live by the river? You are really lenient."
Shen Han was choked by her, turned around and yelled at Ji Yunyuan, "General Ji, are you just going to allow her to mess around like this?"
Ji Yunyuan turned to look at the arrogant and domineering little girl, and smiled fondly, "My disciple behaves quite casually. Maybe I am spoiled, so Shen Erlang would be better not to offend her."
Shen Han was deflated, and the corners of his lips trembled in disbelief, "She is just a woman, and General Ji is so protective of her. Could it be that there was some unknown ambiguity between the two of you?"
