Mu Lingzhu's determined and clear voice rang throughout the front hall and the people standing in the front hall were stunned.
In particular, Mu Xiang, stared at her, and seemed to feel that he had misheard.
But a moment later, his face showed a mournful expression. Now that Rong w.a.n.g made it clear that he wanted to marry Mu Lingzhu. Although he was a n.o.ble minister in the court, he could not easily offend the Rong w.a.n.g.
After Su Biqing's death, although he was disappointed with Zhu'er, she was still the daughter he is most proud of. How could he feel comfortable marrying her to a man of her father's generation?
Zhu'er's reply just now showed that she is still a sensible child, only that he feels somewhat distressed for his daughter.
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows slightly and bit her lips. She is a little surprised that Mu Lingzhu would agree to marry Rong w.a.n.g. But according to her understanding of Mu Lingzhu, she is afraid that after Mu Lingzhu get married, the present Rong w.a.n.gfei will soon die.
"Ha ha ha ha, Mu Si xiaojie really has a brilliant insight, benw.a.n.g will treat you well when you enter Rong w.a.n.gfu."
Rong w.a.n.g has a smile on his face.
Laughing, he clasped his hands at Mu Xiang again.
"Xiangye, little Zhixi recently married Li'er, and calls me w.a.n.gshu. Now Lingzhu is going to marry benw.a.n.g, so we can be regarded as pro-relatives."
Mu Xiang nodded reluctantly and smiled.
"Lao chen believes that Rong w.a.n.gye would be a good son-in-law."
"Naturally, this matter should not be delayed, find an auspicious day, benw.a.n.g will prepared a palanquin with eight carriers, to escort Lingzhu through the door."
Mu Xiang agreed, then glanced at the side towards Luo Ningyu.
Luo Ningyu paused, took a calendar, looked through it, then she looked at Mu Xiang and Rong w.a.n.g timidly.
"The eighth day of next month is a good day."
"Good, the eighth then. Do you have any objections about it, Lingzhu? "
Rong w.a.n.g turned to look at Mu Ling Zhu.
Mu Lingzhu shook her head and bend her body.
"I will abide by w.a.n.gye."
"Good, then it's settled. Today, little zhixi is at her home, so benw.a.n.g won't disturb your family get together and will bid goodbye."
When Rong w.a.n.g said this, he nodded at Mu Xiang and went out, leaving only a room full of valuable betrothal gifts.
There was silence in the front hall.
Mu Lingzhu, sorted out her own emotions, and smiled towards Mu Xiang.
"Fuqin, don't be hurt by this daughter's decision. Everything that has developed must be already ordained by the heavens. That Rong w.a.n.gye is older, but if he wants to marry Zhu'er, he must be sincere to Zhu'er and it is Zhu'er's good fortune."
"Alas, it's hard for you, my child, to think so. Although Rong w.a.n.g is good natured, but there are five to six concubines in the fu. You will marry as a cefei, but you should be careful around those people."
Mu Xiang replied.
"Zhu'er will be careful."
Mu Lingzhu smiled and turned her eyes to Mu Yunjin.
"Jiejie, when Zhu'er marries into Rong w.a.n.gfu, you should still call me meimei, don't call me w.a.n.g sao, is that all right? Otherwise, it will seem that you and I are sisters that are born divided."
The corners of Mu Yunjin's eyes were drawn out, originally she felt pity that Mu Lingzhu is marrying an old man, but now listening to her tone of voice, where is that half sad look.
Really, dogs can't change.…
"Si meimei worry too much, you will be Rong w.a.n.g's cefei, I can't call you w.a.n.g sao."
Mu Yunjin looked at Mu Lingzhu.
Mu Xiang saw that his two children began to bicker with each other, he did not say much more and turned to walk toward the back garden.
After Mu Xiang walked out, the atmosphere in the front hall eased slightly.
Mu Xiarou had been sitting at the side enjoying watching the scene suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, approaching Mu Lingzhu.
"Si Jiejie, that Rong w.a.n.g's health is not bad, compared to our diedie (daddy) he is significantly younger."
"You..." hearing Mu Xiarou's sarcastic voice, Mu Lingzhu glared at her.
"Rou'er, go back to your room and stop talking here."
Luo Ningyu sees the situation is wrong, and got angry at Mu Xiarou's words.
Mu Xiarou pouted her mouth and shook her head. She went to Mu Yunjin's side and took Mu Yunjin's arm.
"San Jiejie, do you agree? Is that Rong w.a.n.g younger looking than our diedie?"
Seeing Mu Xiarou asked again, Zhuang Yuyan sighed and walked over to Mu Lingzhu.
"Si mei don't take it to heart. Wu meimei is still young and does not know what she speaks. Don't take it to heart."
"Da sao is too worried, how can I argue with wu meimei. Wu meimei still has two years before she reach her marriageable age. When that time comes, as a jiejie I will also help wu meimei find a good family."
Mu Lingzhu said, stretching her hand gently to Mu Xiarou's head, she looked into Mu Xiarou's eyes, with a hint of warning.
Having contact with this look, Mu Xia Rou heart trembled in fear, she fell back a step, and ran to Luo Ningyu.
"Niang, shall we go back to the house?"
"Good."
Luo Ningyu saw that there was plenty of gunpowder smell here, so she pulled the corner of her mouth.
"I'll take Rou'er back to the house first. You sisters should get together and have a good chat."
Before Luo Ningyu left, she ordered her servants to take away the engagement gifts in the front hall. In a few moments, the front hall became empty again, with only three people left: Mu Yunjin, Mu Lingzhu and Zhuang Yuyan.
Zhuang Yuyan was sandwiched in the middle and she could see that the two sisters seemed to find each other disagreaable, and there was something wrong, so she had to sit beside them and keep her eyes on Mu Yunjin and Mu Lingzhu.
"Jiejie seldom goes back to maternal's house. Let's go have our noon meal. Anyway, Qin xiaojie is back. Liu huangzi must have no time to accompany you."
Mu Lingzhu sat on the side of Mu Yunjin's body, and spoke full of ridicule.
Mu Yunjin is holding her head, she raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this remark, and thought to herself that Mu Lingzhu could really climb up the pole.
Not long ago, when she lost influence, she dared not even raise her head. Now, shortly after Rong w.a.n.g's marriage proposal, she was back to her sharp and unkind tone when she first met her.
"Don't worry about me. Didn't fuqin say that there were five or six concubines in Rong w.a.n.gfu? You should first worry about yourself, worry about your luck to be visited a few times in a month. "
Mu Yunjin took a sip of tea.
Mu Lingzhu turned pale, her words choked in her throat, she bit her lips a little angry, and finally she couldn't sit down. She stood up and said:
"Mu Yunjin, I like to see for how long you can still be proud of yourself."
When her words were finished, Mu Lingzhu also left the front hall.
Seeing Mu Lingzhu could not contain her anger and walked out, Mu Yunjin laughed at her, and sighed.
"Alas, your family is really strange."
Zhuang Yuyan commented when she and Mu Yunjin were left, and shook her head helplessly.
"Yuyan jie, what about my da ge, is he strange?"
Mu Yunjin looked at Zhuang Yuyan and winked.
When Zhuang Yuyan heard the words, she slightly hooked her lips.
"Yunhan was given the post of commanding the army by Huang Shang. He is managing all the guards in the palace. He is so busy that I could hardly see him."
“Is this still the case?” Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, he has not returned to the fu for three days..."
………..
Mu Yunjin did not have lunch at the Xiangfu, and only chatted with Zhuang Yuyan, before she decided to return to Liu huangzi fu with Zi Xiang.
Walking along the street, Zi Xiang who has been holding on for a long time, being a natural chatterbox, opened her mouth to talk.
"Xiaojie, do you think that Si xiaojie is suffering retribution? She used to be so ambitious, but now she has to marry such a man with so many women."
"Why do you think she agreed to Rong w.a.n.g?"
Mu Yunjin looked at Zi Xiang with a smile.
"This servant does not know, this servant had a chat with Shen momo in the mansion before. Shen momo told this servant that the current Rong w.a.n.gfei is the daughter of General Qin and Qin xiaojie's paternal aunt. The status of the Qin family is very important to the whole Xi Yuan Dynasty, with the Qin family as a backer how will Si xiaojie be Rong w.a.n.gfei's opponent."
Hearing Zi Xiang's words, Mu Yunjin's eyes crossed a touch of surprise, which seemed in disbelief.
"Is this certain?"
"Of course it is certain, this servant does not dare to talk nonsense."
Zi Xiang confirms and nodded.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips slightly and remembered Rong w.a.n.g's disdainful tone when he mentioned Rong w.a.n.gfei earlier. Unexpectedly, this w.a.n.gfei is a senior respected buddha.
Qin family is still a Qin person.
As she was thinking, Zi Xiang suddenly stopped, she reached out and patted Mu Yunjin on the shoulder.
"Xiaojie, look…"
Zi Xiang's words were mixed with a hint of anger.
Mu Yunjin complied, glancing at the front of the Ming Xiang Teahouse, two figures, one front and one back was seen. Her eyebrows twisted a little, but soon she began to relax, and had an indifferent expression.
Chu Li and Qin Muyue naturally saw Mu Yunjin standing not far away. For a moment, their faces were different.
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin for a moment, and saw her wearing plain clothes standing outside the door of Ming Xiang teahouse. Her whole body permeated with an unspeakable sense of elegance and pureness, looking at her face it is as if all the colors around her were robbed and a person is unable to move one's eyes from her.
Qin Muyue noticed Chu Li's line of sight, she evoked a smile, and waved toward Mu Yunjin.
"Yunjin saosao, it is a coincidence, meeting you here."
Mu Yunjin smiled lightly, she approached several steps, and nodded to Qin Muyue.
"Yes, it's really a coincidence."
"Li gege and I just had lunch here, and now I'm going to drag Li gege to accompany me to the Shuiyun Temple to find Master Huaiyuan. The old man heard that I was back and pestered me to play chess with him."
Qin Muyue is full of smiles.
"Oh, since we ran into each other, Yunjin saosao, do you want to go together?"
Qin Muyue asked again.
Mu Yunjin shook her head and looked faintly over to Chu Li, who was beside her. There was a chill in her eyes.
"No, I prefer to go back to my room and get some sleep instead of wandering around."
"Well, it's a pity. It's getting late. Li gege and I are going to leave first. I'll come to visit you at the huangzi fu tomorrow."
When Qin Muyue's words fell, she jumped onto the carriage parked at the side.
Seeing Chu Li still standing in the same place, Mu Yunjin turned her head and looked at Chu Li, pulling out a playful smile.
"Your Highness Liu w.a.n.gzi is not yet leaving?"
"Ben huangzi and her, there is nothing."
Chu Li saw the smile of Mu Yunjin, and his heart was slightly shaky, his complexion slighly sank.
In the end, he didn't even know how to react. Why did he explain this to Mu Yunjin? He just felt uncomfortable when he saw the playful smile on Mu Yunjin's face.
"It doesn't matter to me if there's anything. Anyway, the relationship between us is clear to each other. We only need to not interfere with each other."
