208 Then write an IOU.
The bright silver immediately shook the eyes of everyone in the house.
At this time, the second lady quickly covered the coldness in her eyes, stroked the bead hairpin on her complicated bun, and asked, "What is the old man doing with borrowing so much money? Is it possible that the old man has lost all the silver he took out?" After saying that, Yu Guang glanced at the second master next to her stared at herself. She pretended to be wronged, "What did the second master do with his concubine?"
In the face of so many people, my uncle can't go on perfunctory, so he has to put up a majestic air, "This is the money I borrowed from my niece, and it has nothing to do with you."
The second lady smiled a little embarrassedly, "Since it's the money borrowed by the uncle, we don't care about our second room when we return it."
When Uncle Qin heard the words, his beard stared, "That's natural."
Mu Xiruan followed the old man's words and said, "Then the old man will write an IOU. Don't, the uncle won't admit it. I can't explain it to the prince. He turned his head and told Qin Yi, "Make the pen and ink you brought for the uncle."
Hearing this, Uncle Qin stared and looked stiffly at Qin Yi laying rice paper in front of him. "My niece, I can still deceive you in front of so many people. When you earn money back, you will naturally return a lot of money.
"Uncle, it's not that Xiren doesn't believe you. It's just that it's difficult to make a living these days, and it's also difficult to support the whole family in the royal palace. I have to find a good way out for myself. At such an old age, you should know that people always have to leave a way out for themselves. Mu Xilan's oath brought a few more women's powerlessness and grievances.
Uncle Qin suddenly surged in anger and couldn't help glaning at it. Then he thought that if Qin Yu really died, then a weak woman could not help herself, he readily responded. "What my niece said." He took the brush in Qin Yi's hand, then waved it, and covered his own fingerprints.
Qin Yi brought the IOU over. Mu Xilan looked at it carefully twice and nod her head when she was satisfied, "Grandpa is straightforward. He deserves to be a businessman." Then his tone suddenly turned and he was calm. "Then it's time to go back."
"Ye, go ahead." The old man nodded slowly.
This night, Mu Xiran slept soundly and woke up naturally in the morning without a dream.
After grooming, Mu Xilan sat down on the round table and watched Nanxiao put the food ready. She lowered her head and filled a spoon of hot porridge. Unexpectedly, there were round balls in the bowl. She was a little puzzled, "Why is this?"
"Madam, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Why have you forgotten this day?" Nan Xiao said something helpless.
Mu Xiyan grinned and looked at the sweet dumplings in the spoon. "If a family eats sweet dumplings, it doesn't mean anything if you ask me to eat them alone." After saying that, she still put it in her mouth and felt that the sweetness was immediately full of her mouth, but when she filled another one, she felt a little disgusted.
"Nanxiao, you know that I don't like sweet food, but you still take these. Withdraw."
Nan Xiao thought that his wife wanted the prince, and he felt a little uncomfortable, so he found an excuse not to eat it, so he silently took away the porcelain bowl. After a while, he put the hot porridge he had prepared in front of Mu Xiran.
Mu Xilan ate happily.
After breakfast, Mu Xilan walked to the window and ordered Nianhua to hang up the screen. Looking at the sunny weather outside, she was in a good mood. "I'm afraid I can only stay in the house on the 15th of this year."
"Madam, if you want to go out, you can go out for a walk in the evening." Finally, the lady had a smile on her face. Of course, Nianhua had to follow Mu Xiran's mood, for fear that the wife would be worried about the prince.
Unexpectedly, I still inadvertently said something wrong, and only heard Mu Xilan say, "The fifteenth is a family together. What's the point of me going out alone?
Nan Xiaonu pouted on one side, "That lady can go back to Yi's house. Master Yi and Lord Yi must also miss his wife."
After Nanxiao's reminder, Mu Xiran suddenly remembered that she hadn't been back for a long time, so she made a decision, "That's right. After lunch, we will go back to Yifu to see my grandfather and uncle. After saying that, I felt that I was a little too unfilial. Yifu is now deserted, and he didn't go back to visit his grandfather and uncle from time to time.
"Is that lady going to spend the night in Yifu?" Nianhua wants to prepare something.
"No, come back after dinner." The royal palace is in danger now, and at this time, she especially can't leave.
The whole morning passed calmly. At noon, Mu Xiran casually took two bites and couldn't wait to leave. There is a long way between the prince and Yifu, and Mu Xi'an can only take a carriage.
I went all the way to Yifu safely, but I didn't expect Yi Xiao to wait outside.
Mu Xi ran over with her skirt and said with some embarrassment, "Cousin, I'm not an important guest. I still need you to come out to pick me up in person. My cousin really scared me."
Yi Xiao habitually reached out and touched her head. "Now the capital is a little chaotic. Naturally, I want to protect you."
The two entered the house with a smile and came to the main hall. Master Yi and Yi Nuotian were indeed sitting in it. Watching Mu Xilan come in, Yi Laotian waved directly, "Laan, come here quickly and let grandpa have a look."
Even if he is the most beloved relative around him, Mu Xi ran over politely and said, "Dun, how are you doing recently? Xian has been a little unspulled recently and hasn't come to visit Grandpa. I hope Grandpa will forgive him.
When Yi Shiping heard the words, he raised his eyebrows and touched his pure white beard. First, he looked at Yi Nuotian in surprise, and then said with a smile, "When did this girl become so polite? Grandpa didn't want to blame you." Then he waved his hand to Nan Xiao to help Mu Xilan sit down, "Why is this girl getting thinner and thinner?"
Mu Xilan's eyebrows were sad, and the corners of his mouth smiled faintly, "It's not those people in Qin's mansion who have been thinking about Xilan all day long. Fortunately, my grandfather told Xi'an in advance that Xi'an was ready, otherwise he would suffer.
Master Yi gradually turned into a solemn look, nodded his head and touched his beard, and said earnestly, "The water in Qin Mansion is indeed not shallow. There are two princes and five princes. It is not easy for the royal family to be alone. If you feel that you can't deal with it, you can move back to Yi's house. When Qin Yu comes back, you can go back so that your grandfather can rest assured.
"Grandpa, the prince is not here now. Xiran has to sit in the royal palace, otherwise what if those people take advantage of the loopholes? Mu Xi'an is very honest and reasonable.
But Yi Nuotian was a little unhappy when he heard the words, "Aunt, Grandpa loves you. Don't tire yourself."
Mu Xiruan hurriedly squeezed her lips and smiled, and lowered her head. "Xiaan knew that her grandfather and uncle loved her. But Xiran has also worked hard all the way. If he can't even deal with those people in the Qin Mansion, how can he be the princess of Prince Jing'an? With that, he raised his eyes and smiled, "However, if Xi Ran encounters any difficulties, he will definitely ask his grandfather to help. At that time, Grandpa can't ignore it.
Yi Shiping looked at such a strong Mu Xiran and felt more and more distressed. He still agreed happily, "That's natural. Even if the emperor bullies you, you will come to your grandfather, and he will definitely ask you for justice.
Of course, Mu Xian will nod repeatedly.
Yi Shiping was used to taking a nap in the afternoon. After talking, he showed his tiredness. Yi Nuotian told Yi Xiao, "Send your grandfather back to rest. Don't forget to make the fire more prosperous."
"Children understand." Yi Xiao responded and walked to Yi Shiping's side and helped him into the side hall.
When there were only two people left in the main hall, Yi Nuo Genius slowly opened his mouth and said in a surprisingly cautious tone: "Wu Ran, to be honest, has Prince Jing'an been plotted, and his life and death are unpredictable?"
"Auncle, who did you hear?" Mu Xian asked casually.
"Since yesterday's early morning, the minister of the dynasty has been discussing Qin Yu's departure from the capital. Although Qin Yu has been on the battlefield for a long time, it is difficult to be plotted. I'm also very worried, mainly because of you. Yi Nuotian said and sighed repeatedly.
Mu Xilan thought for a moment before answering, "uncle, Qin Yu's disappearance is fake, but someone secretly believes it's true."
Yi Nuotian heard the deep meaning of Mu Xiran's words, and his tone calmed down a little. "Do you know whether it's the second prince or the fifth prince? These two people have been acting frequently recently, which has aroused the emperor's suspicion. No matter what, Qin Yu will be remembered for holding soldiers and horses. What's more... both sides are short of soldiers now."
"Auncle, do you know if the second prince is going to buy a military horse?" Mu Xi'an suddenly thought of his uncle's purpose of borrowing money.
"Ran girl, how do you know about this?" Yi Nuotian was a little surprised.
Mu Xiran told Yi Nuotian about his uncle's 150,000 taels of royal house. Sure enough, Yi Nuotian's face suddenly changed when he heard the words and whispered, "It seems to be true."
"Auncle, Xian wants to see her aunt." Mu Xiyan doesn't want to worry about these things anymore.
Yi Nuotian also saw Mu Xi'an's thoughts and immediately got up, "My uncle will take you there."
Mu Xiyan went to the ancestral hall of the Yi family, knelt on the futon and talked a lot with Mrs. Yi before standing up and returning to the Falling Flower Pavilion.
On the way, Mu Xiyan met Yi Han. Yi Han was stunned when he saw her. When he reacted, he immediately bent his knees and saluted in a soft tone: "Yi Han visited the princess."
Mu Xian came forward to help Yi Han in person, "They are all cousins. There is no need for so many gifts." His eyes glanced at the brocade box in Yi Han's hand and fell on the smile at the corners of Yi Han's mouth, "What kind of happy thing happened to my cousin?"
Sure enough, Yi Han blushed and twisted her body shyly, "The princess is still so smart and tight. Grandpa said that he had looked for a few for me, and now he wants me to send eight birthdays. If there is a suitable one, I will decide.
"I'm sure I guessed correctly. Then go quickly and don't miss the big deal." Mu Xian deliberately aggravated the last two words.
