Chapter 23 Entourage
The Bai family was very dissatisfied with the fact that Mu Jing did not listen to his own dissuasion in the early court today, and insisted on going to the border to treat the disaster.
Not long after the first half of An's birthday, the Gao family stepped into the door of Tingxue Yuan without knowing the height of the sky.
Bai Shi leaned on the pear wood chair in a dignified manner, and with a wave of his hand, he retreated from the people who were waiting in the room, and his eyes were quenched with ice slag and pierced straight towards Gao.
Gao accepted this note impartially, and immediately pretended to be very aggrieved: "The eldest lady really made the concubine a little frightened when she looked at the concubine like this, and the concubine didn't want to disturb the lady, but in the morning I wanted to propose marriage to Lan'er with the master, but the master said that he wanted to listen to your thoughts." ”
"The concubine just came up, thinking that Lan'er has been close to you since she was a child, and the eldest lady is not willing to let Lan'er promise a husband casually, right?"
is obviously his own daughter, but in order to find a good marriage, he will force the distance closer.
The Bai family who was seated was calm and straightened her sleeves, she has always paid attention to family etiquette, which will since the Gao family came to the door to ask for marriage for her daughter, she should welcome people with a smile in the style of a grandmother.
Although the Bai family had something hidden in his heart, he behaved decently on his face, and asked thoughtfully: "But which son did you find for Lan'er?" If both parties are interested, they should be decided as soon as possible. ”
Mu Lan is a heartless concubine, so it is better to send it away as soon as possible, even if the Gao family does not mention it, she will report to the prime minister of the family sooner or later.
Gao's personal mention of the number of rituals is naturally more thoughtful.
Gao's gaze rippled, staring at Bai's inquiring eyes.
"Lan'er has often heard of the demeanor of the saint when she has been studying recently, and she admires it very much, but she is very eager to be able to come close to serve her, I don't know what Mrs. thinks?"
"Approaching the saint? This royal is not easy to set foot in. Sister or find another husband for Lan'er? Although the status is not as good as that of the saint, but I can find a wishful husband, I guess my sister has also heard that the companion is like a tiger. ”
"I know it, Ke Lan'er has this wish, how can I, who is a mother, not as good as she wants?"
"Sister go back and persuade Lan'er first, this matter can't be decided by me alone, I have to discuss it with my master."
Bai's tone was pleasant on his face, and the Yunyong Gao family in secret had already noticed it, and stared at Bai as if he wanted to see something in her eyes.
The Bai family naturally will not let the Gao family be satisfied with this, not to mention that once Mu Lan enters the palace as a concubine, the mansion will share honor and disgrace. Once Mu Lan enters the palace, even if he is not favored, he can please the new emperor with his unique small appearance, and there is still no certainty on who will be the prime minister.
However, with Mu Lan's temperament, he can't do anything big in the palace, which is known to everyone.
Gao finally went back to the house without asking for any bargains from Bai's house, and returned to the house with uncertain emotions.
It is common for it to rain for days in spring, and it is clear that the sun was in full bloom a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, the rain began to fall again.
Jiang Liyue sat by the window and flipped through a scroll of scriptures in the skylight, and removed the ice basin that could not be sent for a while by the spruce.
Hearing the movement of Mu Yan entering the door, Jiang Liyue slowly put down the scroll and ordered the spruce on the side: "Spruce, you go down first, you don't need to serve at this time." ”
As soon as her voice fell, the soles of spruce's feet slipped as if they were smeared with oil, and hurriedly dropped a sentence: "I understand, county lord, I'll go find Sister Handong first." ”
This girl is now more and more bold to make fun of herself.
That being said, the spruce didn't go far, and was a few steps away with Handong.
It's always hard to leave people around the lord of the county, otherwise it should be the first sin to not be able to find someone when he should be serving.
Mu Yan took the cloak on his body and put it aside, walked to the side of the pear wood case, and beckoned to Jiang Liyue gently with a smile on his face.
Jiang Liyue stepped forward and saw that he neatly took off the jade plate on his waist, and since he entered the mansion, she saw him carrying it with him, which must have symbolized something, but now the friendship between the two is not deep, except for the gift of Zhou Gong and the sharing of the bed.
Therefore, she thought that she should not know, so she never asked.
After the objects were neatly displayed, Mu Yan stretched out his hand towards Jiang Liyue, although he didn't understand the meaning, Jiang Liyue still hesitated to put his hand on Mu Yan.
Mu Yan twisted the jade plaque with his own hands and placed it in her hand, and gently put her hands together, while saying, "I need to go out in a few days, maybe this jade plaque can protect your health for me." ”
Although she didn't know the origin of this jade plate, Jiang Liyue immediately understood it, and she waved her hand and said: "Yan Lang should protect himself first when he goes out, and I will not have an accident as a deep girl." ”
"But why does Yan Lang need to go out of this long way, isn't there a dispute in Kyoto?"
When asking, Jiang Liyue turned her head and asked with a flickering gaze.
Mu Yan shook his head: "Recently, the spring rain has been frequent, and it is the waterlogging that broke out in Jizhou. ”
Jiang Liyue nodded solemnly, looking a little worried.
The terrain in the northern part of Daliang is already a little low, why does the waterlogging in Jizhou need to be dispatched by himself, Mu Yan actually did not tell the cause and effect, but seeing her like this, she must have woken up on her own.
Coupled with Jiang Liyue's insight at the time of the wedding, he said unexpectedly: "What do you think?" Tell me about it. ”
Jiang Liyue absentmindedly recalled the story of the previous life, when the waterlogging in Jizhou was also solved by Mu Yan, but at that time she was shrouded in the shadow of Li Changlu, and she had no heart to care about the affairs of the court.
Now that his life is more stable, he has to be prepared for danger in times of peace, after all, when Mu Yan went to settle the disputes caused by the waterlogging in his previous life, he disappeared for nearly five days.
Jiang Liyue came back to her senses, shook her head to indicate that it was nothing, and replied very well-behaved: "I am a woman, and I am not allowed to interfere in political affairs, but I am ......"
"Can Yanlang bring Yue'er with him on this trip?"
She said word by word, just to let Mu Yan listen more truthfully.
Noticing the change in her mood, Mu Yan responded with a smile: "If you only go this time, there will be no accidents." You have a daughter's family, and it is unreasonable for me to go out, what if I can't take care of you and let you get hurt. ”
"But I'm not a girl in the boudoir, why can't I go out with Yan Lang, as long as you and I are willing, outsiders will never say anything, Yan Lang, you will let me go out with you once."
In the past, Jiang Liyue had never insisted on asking him for something, but now she offered to go out with him to solve the dispute in Jizhou.
Since the wedding, Jiang Liyue has surprised him more than once.
"Yue'er really wants to go with me? But there are some unknown difficulties ahead, and I can protect you like this in Fuzhong. ”
Jiang Liyue didn't have so many scruples, the reason why she wanted to go with Mu Yan was just because she was worried that Mu Yan would have an accident on the way, and if she followed her, she would still be able to have more helpers.
Mu Yan was a few steps more than Jiang Liyue thought.
Seeing that Mu Yan was hesitant, Jiang Liyue didn't press her step by step, she took the initiative to take a step back: "Yan Lang will remember for Yue'er for the time being, and if you think it's okay to discuss it with the people who are traveling with you, it's not too late to make a decision." ”
Jiang Liyue took the initiative to take a step back because she had already made a calculation in her heart.
Even if Mu Yan didn't allow herself to accompany her in the end, she could sneak up and take the reliable spruce under her hand to disguise herself and move forward
went, and found that Mu Yan couldn't send her back to Mu Mansion halfway, so he could only tie her to his side.
It's better than being reprimanded by him, and it's better than watching Mu Yan disappear in the torrent but not being able to do anything.
Mu Yan still didn't know her temperament as a woman, thinking that she took a step back was just a woman's consistent behavior, and she couldn't do it without thinking deeply.
Three days after Mu Yan traveled, Jiang Liyue still had time to prepare.
I thought that I would stay in the hut for the past few days, wait for Mu Yan to go down to the court, and I would be able to live in peace, so I rushed to travel with Mu Yan.
I never thought that Gao's side didn't like to stop, and it was less than a month after the news of pregnancy came out, and the situation in the house changed again.
Spruce hurriedly picked up the curtain and entered the house, and he almost couldn't even take care of the usual etiquette, so he bowed and said word by word: "County Lord, there is an accident at the head of the house." ”
When the spruce entered the house, Jiang Liyue was holding an embroidery needle to embroider Ye Qing's clothes, and after listening to the spruce's hurried call, Jiang Liyue's subordinates did not stop.
Jiang Liyue had long been accustomed to the various situations in Aunt Gao's mansion, and when she saw the spruce anxiously entering the house, she thought that Aunt Gao's situation was no different from usual.
Seeing her indifferent, Spruce was inevitably a little anxious, and urged again: "County Lord, you should go with me to take a look, this time something really happened, you should go with me to take a look." ”
Jiang Liyue's face became surprised because of her look, she gently put down the unfinished bedclothes under her hand, got up lazily, and put her soft wattle on top of the spruce, letting people help her go.
After a short while, Spruce finally explained the cause and effect cycle of the matter, and Jiang Liyue could even feel from her occasional happy micro-expression that if it weren't for the fact that there might be ears and eyes hidden around now, the girl on her side would have to explode.
After all, after being trained by Princess Duan before getting married, Spruce can also recognize the general situation and know when it is the time to speak, and now he can't say anything gloating, otherwise he will be afraid of suffering the sin of sitting with his own master.
The small garden arranged by the Bai family for Mu Yan and his wife is in a secluded place in the mansion, and there is still some distance from the Gao family's garden, and there is no end to it after walking for a while.
Before she reached Gao's Garden, Jiang Liyue heard some deliberately suppressed quarrels coming from the hut inside.
Jiang Liyue and Spruce looked at the nose and nose, but the spruce also knew little about the situation inside, and when he reported to the garden, he only heard that it was Gao's smoothness.
Anyway, the Gao family also has some status in the house, even if it was the third child before, everyone avoided her, and they didn't dare to fight her.
Unexpectedly, everyone was cautiously embraced and still failed to keep the third child.
Jiang Liyue's face showed a very scarce expression of regret, and she was ready to listen to the strife in the mansion before she dared to carry the skirt and go inside.
Because of the incident, it was suddenly another morning, and the men in the house all went to the morning court, and even Mu Ze, who had nothing to do, was promised a nominal official position because of the power of Prime Minister Mu, and the room was full of women.
