Seeing Liu Huiyan's impatience, Mr. He hurriedly stopped her: "If you go now, the eldest girl will definitely not agree. Why don't you wait until the first day of February next year to ask the old lady, and ask the old lady to hide it from the eldest girl and let you do it?"
When the maid is brought into the Zhou Mansion as a dowry, even if the eldest girl is not happy, it is already a done deal. The rest of the way has to be walked by the fourth girl on her own. The fourth girl must know that the eldest girl is a scheming person, and the aunt is afraid of being tricked by someone.
Not good, we lose everything."
In fact, she was not optimistic about the fourth girl. As early as the first round of her fight with Gu Xiyan, she knew that Gu Xiyan was not a good person.
Later, she learned that Gu Xiyan was behind the Jixianglou food festival, and she became even more afraid of Gu Xiyan.
Even if she is not Gu Xiyan's opponent, how can the fourth girl defeat Gu Xiyan with such a scheme?
When Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu get married, they will become serious official wives, while the fourth girl is just a dowry maid. If she cannot successfully climb into Zhou Mu's bed, there is a possibility that the fourth girl will be sold out by Gu Xiyan.
.
The fourth girl is her only daughter, and she really doesn't want to see the fourth girl end up in such a miserable end.
The fourth girl is completely devoted to Zhou Mu and wants to fight Zhou Mu life and death, so what can she do?
"Auntie, I want to give it a try. I fell in love with the young master at first sight when I first met him. Even if I am the young master's maid, I am still happy." Liu Huiyan said shyly.
Mrs. He knew that she could not persuade Liu Huiyan, so she had to tell Liu Huiyan all her experience in overt and covert fights with the little Gu family over the years.
Liu Huiyan also knew that she could only walk on her own in the future. She listened carefully and couldn't help but imagine the future when she would rise from a dowry maid to replace Gu Xiyan and become Zhou Mu's wife...
Naturally, Gu Xiyan didn't know what He and Liu Huiyan planned. After Zhou Mu accompanied her to enjoy the snow, they had lunch in Xiyuan before leaving the Hou Mansion reluctantly.
On December 26th, Emperor Chengde sealed the pen and seal, and Zhou Mu was free.
He was reading in the study in the evening, but Xu Yanqing came uninvited.
He immediately put away the books he was reading. Unexpectedly, Xu Yanqing's sharp eyes found the exact location of his books and took out one of them to read.
After Xu Yanqing saw the title of the book, his expression was very strange: "Secrets in the Boudoir?"
Zhou Mu was expressionless and snatched the book back from Xu Yanqing's hand.
Xu Yanqing looked at Zhou Mu's face, which seemed to have no desires and desires, and then looked at the book in Zhou Mu's hand. This picture felt weird no matter how you looked at it.
"Master Zhou used to live in a temple, right? In that case, how could Master Zhou want to be an official, and how could he want to get married? I think it would be a great loss for the temple for people like Master Zhou to become officials in the court.
, Otherwise, Mr. Zhou will probably become an eminent monk." Xu Yanqing said nonstop.
Zhou Mu only felt that he was noisy, "Master Xu, why do you want to come to me?"
"Isn't this the new year Xiu Mu? I thought of Lord Zhou, so I came to see Lord Zhou to play. By the way, didn't Young Master Xiu Mu go to Xi Yan to play?" Xu Yanqing's eyes raised slightly.
Zhou Mu was not surprised at all that Xu Yanqing mentioned Gu Xiyan. He knew that Xu San was still interested in Xiyan, but this person still knew how to behave and did not go straight to Wanqing Hou Mansion.
When Xu Yanqing saw that Zhou Mu was silent, she pointed at the "Secrets in the Boudoir" in his hand and asked, "Does Xi Yan know that you are like Zhou Mu?"
Zhou Mu opened her lips indifferently: "I don't know yet, but after she and I get married, we can study it together."
Xu Yanqing was instantly speechless by Zhou Mu's words.
He still underestimated Zhou Mu. He originally thought he was a reviled immortal who was not interested in love affairs, but he turned out to be more sophisticated than him. Everyone was deceived by his desireless face.
Seeing Xu Yanqing finally shut up, Zhou Mu felt a little depressed in his heart and disappeared.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Xu Yanqing suddenly said: "Well, I will take Mr. Zhou to see the world today. It is better than Mr. Zhou talking about it on paper."
Zhou Mu frowned slightly, and for a moment he didn't understand what Xu Yanqing meant.
Seeing Zhou Mu's confused look, Xu Yanqing clenched her fists and coughed twice.
At this moment, he could see that Zhou Mu had indeed grown up in a temple. Unlike children from aristocratic families like them, he had seen much of the world.
"Baixianglou recently had a new top talent named Guan'er. I heard that she was originally from an official family. She knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The most important thing is that she understands romance. Master Zhou might as well go directly to Guan'er to read these books.
I'm asking for advice." Xu Yanqing said again, holding back a smile.
When Zhou Mu heard about Baixianglou, he finally understood what bad idea Xu Yanqing had come up with.
"No!" Zhou Mu refused calmly.
"You really don't want to go? The ladies there know everything. If Mr. Zhou doesn't understand anything, you can ask them for advice." Xu Yanqing followed the temptation.
Zhou Mu's eyes flashed slightly and he was stunned for a moment.
Xu Yanqing thought that he was interested, so he continued to lobby: "Master Zhou, if you go to Baixiang Tower for a walk, you will know that there are so many beauties in the world. How good is it to see the world?"
Maybe Zhou Mu will fall in love with other beauties after meeting him...
Zhou Mu tapped the table, "Since Mr. Xu likes it, I can go alone. Zhiyuan, send Mr. Xu away."
Xu Yanqing did not expect Zhou Mu to remain unmoved. Although he was depressed, he was also a little relieved. This showed that Xi Yan's vision was not bad and Zhou Mu was not someone who would be easily seduced.
When he left Zhou Mansion, he stood in front of Wanqinghou Mansion for a long time. Finally, he sighed and rode away in a carriage.
It’s New Year’s Eve soon.
Zhou Mu got up early this morning, wondering whether to go next door for a reunion dinner.
But Liu Qing came and invited him into the palace because Emperor Chengde wanted to have a reunion dinner with him.
However, there are many members of the royal family in the capital. If he really enters the palace, he may not only face Emperor Chengde.
Liu Qing saw that he was hesitating, so he said: "Your Majesty will have a reunion dinner with His Highness first and avoid other people. Your Highness, just don't worry."
That's why he left the palace so early. His Majesty has given careful consideration to what His Highness is worried about.
"Let's go to the palace. After that, I have to go to the Hou Mansion to have a reunion dinner with Xiyan." Zhou Mu said straightforwardly.
Liu Qing was secretly speechless. He thought that Miss Gu was so powerful that His Highness valued her so much. In the future, Miss Gu’s good fortune is still to come.
In his opinion, the world of Jin Dynasty will fall into the hands of His Highness sooner or later.
Now he was even more respectful to Zhou Mu: "Your Highness, please!"
Zhou Mu didn't waste any more time, got on the carriage sent by Liu Qing, and headed towards the palace.
On the carriage, Qi Zhiyuan whispered to Zhou Mu: "The people in Prince Qin's palace are watching. Young Master, is this matter important?"
Zhou Mu is not surprised.
Recently, the people in Prince Qin's Mansion have been keeping an eye on what's happening on his side, and the Chinese New Year is no exception.
"You'll know sooner or later, so it's okay to let Zhou Xing guess." Zhou Mu's eyebrows were dull.
