Xuanyuan Mansion is worthy of being a general's mansion. The two vermilion gates are three times the size of ordinary officials' houses. There are no fancy decorations. Creepy.
Murong Shuqing got off the carriage, and was attracted by these two mythical beasts. The expressive and exquisite carvings portrayed them vividly, and in terms of texture and texture, they should have been carved from a single piece of obsidian. The body of the beast and the cool cold air have injected their souls into them.
Murong Shuqing was about to touch the beast's body and feel its aura when the door of Xuanyuan Mansion slowly opened, and a man in blue in his early thirties walked out. The man walked up to Murong Shuqing, bowed and saluted, "Miss Murong, Madam has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me."
Murong Shuqing had to withdraw his hand, and with some regret, took another look at the majestic divine beast, and followed the man into the Xuanyuan Mansion.
The Xuanyuan Mansion gives the impression of being atmospheric and a little cold. Murong Shuqing likes to admire various architectural styles, but after walking for a long time, the man stopped and whispered to the woman with a pot of tea in front of him: " Miss Dongxue, Miss Murong is here."
When the woman turned back, Murong Shuqing felt her eyes lit up. She had an oval face, big eyes that I felt pity for, a small and delicate nose, and rosy lips. She was a typical Jiangnan woman, standing there as if she was a graceful and graceful picture Ink painting. This woman should not be the maid of Xuanyuan Mansion. Different from the light blue dress of other women, the light yellow of her whole suit makes her more tender and attractive.
The woman's eyes met with Murong Shuqing, so she hurriedly lowered her head, "Miss, please come with me."
Even her voice is gentle and elegant. It should be comfortable and comfortable to have such a woman by her side. Murong Shuqing smiled and replied, "It's work."
Dong Xue, who had already walked two steps, heard Murong Shu's gentle voice, she trembled slightly, and without answering, she still led the way without saying a word. Murong Shuqing slowly followed behind, looking at the slender figure in front of him, the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
Following Dong Xue into the inner room, Dong Xue just finished the announcement, only to hear a cheerful and smiling female voice say: "Shu Qing is here, I have prepared a lot of delicious food for you, come over quickly."
Looking at the voice, a woman in her early 1940s was sitting on the main seat of the flower hall. She was slightly fat. The years left marks on her face, but it did not take away her vitality. When Shu Qing came in, she raised her body. Smiley beckoned to her.
Murong Shuqing walked up to her, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Thank you auntie."
She is Xuanyuan Yi's mother Song Lingqiu. She has long heard that the daughter of the Song family was sassy and heroic, and I don't know how many young talents have been fascinated by her. Finally, she married into the Xuanyuan family. See today, the rumors are true.
Looking at Murong Shuqing, who was wearing a pale green and smiling face, Song Lingqiu smiled suspiciously, "Is this Shu Qing?"
Murong Shuqing smiled lightly, not knowing where to answer.
After watching for a while, Song Lingqiu nodded and said, "It really is Yue'er's daughter, she is exactly the same as she was 20 years ago." She used to joke around a lot, but there was no sign of Yue'er in Shu Qing. Really have to admit, mother and daughter are mother and daughter.
Murong Shuqing met Song Lingqiu's sighing gaze, and really didn't know what to say, so she replied with a smile, "Shu Qing is outstanding without a mother."
Song Lingqiu sighed in her heart. The person in front of her was Shu Qing, who was polite and modest, and she moved forward and retreated in a controlled manner. At random, she was all calm and clean. She was no longer the yellow-haired girl who ran behind Yi'er's butt all day long. Song Lingqiu pulled Murong Shuqing to sit beside him, and sighed softly, "Shu Qing is really different. Is that why you agreed to break off the marriage? My stupid son is no longer worthy of you?"
When Pei Che said that they had broken off the marriage, she almost didn't get mad at her. The two broke off the marriage without her consent. She didn't believe it at first, but after seeing Shu Qing like this today, she couldn't believe it.
Murong Shuqing didn't expect Song Lingqiu to ask her so directly, and was a little surprised, but still politely replied: "Auntie, don't say that, Xuanyuan... Brother Xuanyuan has disapproved of this marriage for many years, and Shu Qing and him have nothing to do with it. ."
Murong Shuqing didn't miss Dong Xue's surprised and delighted expression after hearing that she and Xuanyuan Yi had broken off their engagement. Although she had tried her best to hide it, how could she hide her joyous feelings.
Song Lingqiu was silent for a while, then waved to the people around him and said, "You all step back."
Dong Xue quietly glanced at Murong Shuqing, but quickly withdrew her gaze, bowed to Song Lingqiu, and led the other maids out of the door. Seeing Murong Shuqing nodding lightly, Lu Yi bowed and walked out.
Song Lingqiu held Murong Shuqing's hand and asked solemnly: "Shu Qing, there are no outsiders now, I want you to tell the truth, why did you agree to break off the marriage?" Can you make her suspicious
If I don't make it clear today, this straight-faced mother will not give up on this, so Murong Shuqing had to try to explain to her, "Auntie, the relationship should be between the two parties. Brother Xuanyuan has no love for me. I fell into the water three years ago. Amnesia, and now there is no love for him, two people who have no love, why bother?"
Song Lingqiu frowned and asked, "You have no love for him? Isn't he bad?" Her son is the wishful husband that every woman in the east has longed for.
Murong Shuqing smiled bitterly, how can I go on with this? Facing Song Lingqiu's incomprehensible gaze, Murong Shuqing thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "It's not that he's bad, it's just a matter of affection, not judged by good or bad. There are so many outstanding men and women in the world, I am not him. The woman I like, he is not the kind I want."
"Then what kind of man do you want?"
She asked directly, and Murong Shuqing answered simply, "I wish to have one heart."
She could probably guess the reason why Xuanyuan Yi broke off with her. First, he didn't like Murong Shuqing at all; second, he was as proud as him and disdain to be coerced into marriage; moved.
In Murong Shuqing's heart, this single-mindedness is not just about marrying a wife, but about understanding her, admiring her, and supporting her. The two can sincerely treat each other, support each other for the rest of their lives, and stay together forever. It's just that she doesn't need to tell Song Lingqiu about this, and she won't understand.
Want to have one heart? Song Lingqiu took a deep look at Murong Shuqing again, and finally said forcefully, "I don't agree with your divorce. I didn't agree before, and I won't agree with you now."
She finally knew where Xuanyuan Yi's domineering factor came from. They were indeed mother and son, the same domineering and strong. Murong Shuqing sighed, not tough, but insisted with a smile: "Auntie, we have broken off the engagement."
Song Lingqiu wanted to say more, but a soft knock on the door interrupted what she was about to say. Dong Xue's gentle voice came from outside the door, "Madam, Princess Chuqing is here."
Hearing Dongxue's words, Song Lingqiu said impatiently, "What is she doing here again?! Please invite her to the main hall for tea." She didn't know that Chuqing liked Yi'er, and she also watched that girl grow up for 20 years. In the past, she, Yue'er and the current Queen Mother Qian Yun were best friends. When the marriage was her fingertips, she chose to marry Yue because she was afraid of such royal rules. Unexpectedly, after a big detour, those who want to marry can't get married now, and those who don't want to marry come to entangle all day, I really want to mad at her.
"Yes." Dong Xue answered obediently and withdrew.
I had long heard that Princess Chuqing, the most favored princess of the dynasty, admired General Xuanyuan, but I didn't expect that the princess would come to visit in person. It could be seen that the royal family was also very happy to see this marriage, otherwise the dignified princess would leave the palace if she wanted to. Murong Shuqing didn't want to swim in the muddy water, so he got up and said, "Auntie has a guest, Shuqing will leave first."
Seeing that Murong Shuqing was about to leave, Song Lingqiu grabbed her hand and said angrily, "I'll invite you to dinner, what are you going to do, sit down."
Murong Shuqing held back a smile and replied in a low voice, "Yes!"
This Mrs. Xuanyuan is really interesting. She is not too young, and her temperament is still the same. It is conceivable that she must have been a hot and beautiful woman when she was young.
It was a wonderful meal tonight. One was a sweetheart from childhood, the other was a former fiancee, and the other was an amorous princess who had been adoring for many years. Murong Shuqing thought that when Xuanyuan Yi saw the three of them appearing in front of him at the same time tonight, his face must be colorful.
She couldn't leave anyway, so Murong Shuqing continued to drink tea, chat with Song Lingqiu, wait for dinner, and watch the show.
Murong Shuqing and Song Lingqiu chatted casually for an afternoon, both of them were pleasantly surprised. Murong Shuqing did not expect that Song Lingqiu, the lady of the official family and the wife of the general, actually traveled to many famous mountains and rivers in the east. Song Lingqiu couldn't believe it. Women who were dissatisfied with Double Ten had their own uniqueness in both their opinions and their actions. The two chatted very happily, and when they looked at the sky again, it was already sunset. Song Lingqiu asked Dong Xue, who was standing outside the door, "Dong Xue, is the princess gone?"
Dongxue entered the inner room, added tea for Song Lingqiu and Murong Shuqing, and replied softly, "No, the princess sat in the front hall for a while, and said she was going to the young master's Yun Xianfeng, but Mu Hai stopped him. Now, I'm getting angry in the front room."
Knowing that Yi'er doesn't like others to casually enter his Yunxianfengxue, she has to go every time she comes. There is nothing to worry about about these children. Sighing, Song Lingqiu asked, "Is Yi'er back?"
"not yet."
Putting down the tea in his hand, Song Lingqiu stood up and said impatiently, "No wait, let's have dinner." This stinky boy asked him to go home early for dinner tonight, but he still hasn't come back.
"Yes." Dong Xue led them to the front hall.
Murong Shuqing followed Song Lingqiu to the front hall, and saw a gorgeously dressed girl pouting and walking around angrily. The woman looks very young, but her small and delicate facial features have already predicted that she will be a beautiful woman when she grows up. The fiery red skirt swayed back and forth in the front hall, like a mass of flames, bright and striking.
Noticing their arrival, Chu Qing hurried forward to meet them. Song Lingqiu slightly bent over and saluted, "The princess arrived, but the old man was not able to greet her, so the princess forgives her sins."
Murong Shuqing didn't say a word, just saluted Song Lingqiu.
The queen mother has already explained that she can't make trouble in Xuanyuan Mansion, and she can't play temper in front of Aunt Qiu. She knows that brother Xuanyuan is her long-cherished husband, and Aunt Qiu is her future mother-in-law. , of course she will do well.
Chu Qing lifted Song Lingqiu up, held her hand, and smiled charmingly: "Aiya, Aunt Qiu, see what you said, what else did you say to me? The queen mother misses you, so please come when you have time. Sit down in the palace."
Song Lingqiu got up and broke away from Chu Qing's hand without a trace. He also helped Murong Shuqing beside him, and politely replied, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."
Song Lingqiu personally helped the woman in green beside him, Chu Qing couldn't help but be a little curious and asked, "Who is this?"
Song Lingqiu did not hide it, and introduced, "My old nephew, Murong Shuqing." After chatting with Shu Qingchang for an afternoon, she was sure that Shu Qing would have no problem dealing with such a little princess.
After listening to Song Lingqiu's introduction, Chu Qing shouted out of composure, "Murong Shuqing? Are you Murong Shuqing?"
Murong Shuqing is funny, is she so famous? Or do all the women who admire Xuanyuan Yi know her name? After all, she occupied the title of fiancée for many years. Looking up slightly, Murong Shuqing smiled and nodded and replied, "Yes."
