Chapter 170, drive the carriage with your sister with your dowry?
At first sight of Xinyi, Wei Linger glanced up, with some hostility in her eyes, but it was not obvious. She bowed her head and retreated to the old lady.
"Xinyi, please give your peace to the old lady." She said obediently and bent down to be blessed. After getting the old lady's nod, she turned around and reluctantly saluted Mu Fangjin. Finally, she came to Wei Linger and bent down: "Sister Linger."
Seeing this, although Wei Linger was a little reluctant, after all, it hindered the old lady's face and could only be equally blessed. Then she said, "Miss Xinyi, I'm afraid I can't stand your 'sister'." As she spoke, she looked up at the old lady and said, "In a few days, you will marry our son. You are the wife of the main room. It's your turn. I'm afraid you won't even dare to call this 'sister' in the future."
"I'm afraid my sister is too worried." Xin Yi replied with a smile, "Let's not talk about generation, but only about the elders and young. What do you think, sister, sister?"
This is equivalent to saying in disguise that Wei Linger is old. She is a smart person. How could she not hear the sound of Xin Yi's words? The smile on her face immediately disappeared when she heard this, and Mu Fangjin, who was beside her, really wanted to laugh, but it was not good to laugh. She could only press her lips on her knuckles, so that she could easily hold it and continue to sit upright. Pret to be serious.
And when the old lady saw it, she also coughed and said, "Linger, you go back first."
Wei Linger was naturally very angry. Seeing that her eyebrows were held together, but after hearing this, she didn't say much. Good luck, and then retreated.
...But before going out, she still didn't forget to stare at Xinyi fiercely.
After witnessing Wei Linger go out, the old lady just let her sit down and start her family. After playing Tai Chi several times, she talked about her younger brother and sister: "I heard that your younger brother and sister... also came to the capital with you this time? Do you still live in Xifu?
Xinyi looked at Mu Fangjin silently, and Mu Fangjin shrugged his shoulders and told her with a relaxed look: Don't be afraid, don't worry about anything!
Therefore, Xin Yi expected that this was because Mu Fangjin had just said hello to his mother, so he replied at ease: "Yes, because Jizhou is too far away and my younger brother and sister are still young, I don't worry about leaving them all in my hometown. Thanks to the second brother who can empty the west mansion for us," she quickly added, "When my brother and sister come, I don't have to go back to my hometown all the time. This time, the second brother delays the business."
It seemed that Aunt Mu was very satisfied with the self-criticism that Xinyi dragged Mu Fangjin and directly made him not catch up with the sacrifice on the Shangyuan Festival, so she nodded and answered generously, "It's not a problem. Don't think too much."
"Thank you for your understanding." Xinyi turned his head and looked at Mu Fangjin, and then the man calmly handed over a look of 'you still have a conscience'.
Xinyi just wanted to stare at him first, but Aunt Mu suddenly said, "I heard that your sister is 16 years old this year?"
She didn't know why this topic suddenly came to Peilan and nodded quickly: "Oh, yes, it's just 16 years after the Spring Festival."
Aunt Mu smiled, as if she had thought of something, which made her a little relieved: "Since your sister can come to the capital without concern with you, I'm afraid... she hasn't made a marriage yet."
"This...naturally not..." Xinyi became more and more strange. Why did this always turn to Peilan? She promised and turned her head to look at Mu Fangjin, and he also looked confused.
No one knows what Madam Mu is thinking.
Therefore, Xinyi decided to do it first: "Old lady, do you care so much about my sister? Is there a suitable candidate who wants to tell her about the matchmaker?" Xinyi said with a smile on his face: "To tell you the truth, I'm just such a sister, and I will entrust her to a good family in the future to rest assured."
Aunt Mu looked at Mu Fangjin meaningfully, and this look inevitably made him bow his head with some regret. Then the old lady obviously didn't show too clearly, but Xinyi could still feel that there was such a loss in her eyes... disappointment.
Xinyi felt as if he understood something in an instant.
"I can't remember whose boy it is for a long time." The old lady said perfunctorily, "I think they have just come to the capital. I'm afraid you will be busy to spend more time with them."
"What do you say? No matter how busy you are, you can't forget to greet the old lady..."... Although this greeting is often late.
When Aunt Mu heard this, she just felt a little unhappy and smiled a little: "Come on, you don't have to accompany me. A month is a good day, and if you are busy, don't delay me."
As soon as Aunt Mu gave the order to see off the guests, Xinyi and Mu Fangjin retreated obediently. Just after taking half a step out of the door, Xinyi grabbed Mu Fangjin's sleeve and hurriedly asked, "What did the old lady mean just now? Why do you always talk about Perlan?"
Mu Fangjin coughed softly and looked around without saying anything.
"Myss, I feel that there is a conspiracy." Recalling the unnaturalness when Mu Fangjin received the old lady's gaze, Xinyi's conjecture was further implemented: "Isn't it... your mother still wants Peilan to marry you!"
"Well, you should also understand what your mother means." Mu Fangjin was also a little helpless: "The incense continues!"
"I can really see that the old lady is in a hurry." Speaking of this, Xinyi also stabbed him with his elbow: "How many concubines are you going to get, and you have all your ideas on my Peilan?"
Mu Fangjin dodged: "Isn't it true that you are very jealous? It's just to see Linger Yuyao's appearance. If it's her own sister, she may still... Look, why are you unhappy again?"
As soon as she heard this, she knew that Mu Fangjin was teasing her. At first, she didn't know what Mrs. Mu was thinking at all, but she calmed down and hummed, "Princes Ying, you think beautifully. I won't marry Pelan to you!" With that, he glanced at him with disdain: "I won't joke with you anymore. I think I have to find a good marriage for Perlan now. Otherwise, I always feel that the old lady's eyes are fixed on Perlan and won't let go."
Mu Fangjin curled his lips and said, "Humph, speak ill of me in front of you and won't help you."
"Well, look at what a childish temper..." Xinyi said, but he also persuaded him a few words: "Forget it. Even if I'm wrong, it's not enough. You know a lot of people in the court. Why don't you find a young talent to match her? The official position doesn't have to be too high, as long as the character is good... By the way, a little handsome is the best."
After hearing this, her second brother reached out and patted her on the skull: "There are still a lot of requirements, and finally a little handsome!? What is a little handsome? Do I count it?
Xinyi was hit for a moment. As soon as he saw that this matter was clear, he quickly came forward like a dog and said with a smile on his face, "How can you be a little handsome? You are a general!" Well, Marshal Tianpeng is the second brother!
After hearing this, Mu Fangjin looked a little proud and deliberately pretended to be a cold and noble virtue. He coughed softly: "Although I have been working hard in the court for several years, in fact... There are not many people who are very close to me. Zhong Mo has been married, huh! By the way, in fact, I always thought Li Chen was an excellent candidate... I didn't expect to be introduced to Yuyao first by you... Hey, little sister, don't kick me!"
"You are a petty person, you know it's useless to talk about these things. Don't you just want to give up Yuan Yuyao! Don't tell me over and over again, and leave Yuyao for you! Can you stay?"
"Look, which one of us is narrow-minded?" The smile on Mu Fangjin's face was as twitching as ever: "Why do you always lose your temper? I'm just saying Li Chen. Look, I think too much, don't you?" When he said this, he came forward again: "That's what I just said, but I want to think about it, there are not many people who are close to me and know nothing... Especially to find someone who is about the same age as Perlan... Don't worry, I will pay attention to her."
"That's almost a good thing to hear." In the end, Xinyi still rolled his eyes and hummed very arrogantly before giving up.
"Speaking of which, Zhong Mo and Li Chen... I heard that Zhong Mo once came to me, but I don't know what happened." Mu Fangjin recalled, "But I always feel that it should be amazing to let Zhong Mo find it in person."
Xinyi was aroused by this: "What, it's amazing? Have you sent someone to ask? Otherwise, if you are really worried, why don't you go to his house and take it as... a New Year's greeting?
"He?" Mu Fangjin shook his head helplessly: "He almost can't even catch the shadow except sleeping at home. Only he comes to find you. If you want to find him, you can't wait to turn the whole capital upside down."
Hearing this, Xinyi was really choked: "Well, why don't you ask Li Chen?"
"I have sent someone to Li Chen's house..." Mu Fangjin explained, "We were not in Beijing a while ago, and Li Chen and A Mo often met in the capital. Maybe something happened, A Mo told Li Chen first and was uncertain."
But before Mu Fangjin's words fell, he saw Lin Qiang, the housekeeper of Dongfu, hurriedly: "Son, Lord Zhong Mozhong has come, and now he has invited you to come in and wait in the living room."
It is said that Cao Cao came.
Xinyi looked at him and hurried to the living room with Lin Qiang.
When he pushed the door and entered, he saw the baby-faced man sitting aside with half a cup of tea in his hand. You are really late." As soon as he saw Mu Fangjin coming, he first complained, "How can I be so leisurely when I come to you?"
Mu Fangjin pulled Xinyi and sat down opposite him: "It seems that this matter is very important. Do you want to come to my house to inform me in person?" Mu Fangjin explained, "I was afraid that I couldn't find you just now, so I specially sent someone to Li Chen and thought you would leave him a message."
"Rea message? It's free." Zhong Mo curled his lips, and such a small action made him look more cute. There is no way to talk to that big mouth about these things.
Li Chen, you seem to be disliked...
