"My wife grew up on the prairie, and she longs for life on the prairie. My eldest daughter also likes horses very much, so as a father, I also did some research."
As soon as Fu Yanlin heard it, he knew that the wife he was referring to was Concubine Li, not his wife. It is well known that Mrs. Mu dotes on Aunt Li, and Aunt Li is Mu Huanqing's biological mother.
"However, the Maxima is difficult to tame. My eldest daughter has the temperament of a Maxima. Even if she is married, the Marquis will not live there, but she has to live in Zhuangzi for four years."
Fu Yanlin was stunned, stopped, and turned to look at Mu Cangying.
Turns out he already knew. Fu Yanlin's face sank instantly, and the vigilance in his eyes increased greatly. These words went around for a long time, and the original purpose was to threaten him.
"Mr. Mu, what does this mean? Could it be that you want to threaten me? If so, you will be disappointed. Since you know that she lives in Zhuangzi, you should also know why she is in Zhuangzi. If you want to be in front of the emperor If I report this to this lord, this lord is not afraid.”
Seeing the gloomy expression on her son-in-law's face, Mu Cangying shook her head and smiled with a faint anger in her eyes.
"My son-in-law, don't worry, not only will I not tell the emperor, but I have decided to ignore this matter. I just want to tell you that when I married Qing'er to you, it wasn't to win over your Fu family, but that Qing'er was my best friend. My beloved daughter, I want to find a good match for her." Speaking of which, Mu Cangying suddenly turned serious and looked at him with a solemn expression. "I can understand that you can't treat Qing'er kindly because of your prejudice against me, but if you are really unsuitable, just let this old man look away. If you really want to get divorced, not only will I not stop it, but I will also help go to the emperor. Please, let her go back to the prairie from now on, and let her continue to be a horse on the prairie."
This remark surprised Fu Yanlin, he looked at the serious expression of Mr. Mu, not joking at all, but serious.
"Yanlin, do you think that the Prime Minister opposes the emperor's Ma politics for his own benefit, or do you really think that this government is not beneficial to the country and oppose it? Today, the emperor is in his prime, he is dedicated to the people, and wants to have a good time. In doing things, but under the constraints of the elders, it is difficult to achieve great ambitions, is this the blessing of the people, or their catastrophe?"
When Mu Cangying said this, she stopped talking, and left the answer to Fu Yanlin to ponder for himself.
Fu Yanlin watched his carriage drive away, climbed onto the horse himself, and rode back home.
What Mu Cangying said did make Fu Yanlin think deeply.
Because he went out to lead troops to suppress bandits, and to handle the case of horse theft, he worked hard outside for a few months. In order to reward him, the emperor gave him gold and silver, and specially allowed him to rest for half a month, but he could stay at home. Take a good rest.
However, Fu Yanlin got half a month's leave, but he could not find peace in the mansion. On the first day, some aunts made up their minds to compete for him to stay in her house at night.
He was reading the military book in the study. It was either the one who sent someone to invite him or the one who came to invite him for something. Fu Yanlin had long been tired of this kind of thing. In the past, because of these things, my aunt was so troubled that it was wrong to go to anyone's house, so he ordered to go down, saying that he would stay in the study tonight so that they could rest their minds.
Although he didn't need to go to court, someone with an active mind sent a post to invite him, or he came to the door to give gifts, hoping to win him over.
As the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Fu Yanlin had to deal with some things that could not be pushed aside. He had been busy all day, and when he returned to the mansion, before he had a few sips of tea and the chair was hot, a servant came to report and told him that something had happened to his aunt, and he went to visit her in her house.
When the news spread to other rooms, he immediately followed suit. At night, just as he was about to go to bed, an unexplainable accident happened to a concubine in the backyard, which disturbed him all day and night.
In the end, he gave an order that any concubine who dared to do anything at night would rush to live in Zhuangzi in the suburbs and sell the maids who served in the house. Only then did the concubines rest their minds.
However, the drama of competing for favor has only been suspended for three days, and another servant came to report that Concubine Zhao had fallen into the water and was pushed by someone.
Fu Yanlin was approving official documents in the study at the time. Hearing this, he sighed lightly and asked lazily, "Have you reported this to the old lady?"
The steward hurriedly replied, "Not yet."
When Fu Yanlin heard this, he smashed the inkstone at the steward on the spot, and said angrily: "The old lady presides over the central feed. You don't report to the old lady about the backyard first, but you come here to trouble me. What do you want you to do!"
"Hou... Lord Hou..." The steward knelt down in fright.
"You hid so fast, even Ben Marquis's inkstone can't hit you. Come on, drag him down and hit twenty boards, dismiss him and sell it!"
"Master Hou, spare your life, the little one is wrong, Master Hou—" the steward cried, but it was too late to regret it, and was dragged out by two guards.
In fact, this steward deserved it, and received the benefits of the aunt in private, but no one knew that this matter had been reported to Fu Yanlin. He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little upset. Every time there is an accident in the backyard, which time is it not thunder and rain? To put it bluntly, it is a trick to ask him to care and comfort.
These women married into the mansion, not to make him feel at ease, but they liked to do tricks while he was resting, and they did everything to cause trouble for him, making the house uneasy.
He suddenly remembered the days at the manor, Doudou, and the woman. He stood up abruptly, walked out of the study, and immediately ordered horses to be prepared. With his confidants and the sisters and brothers Liu Yun and Liu Mu who were waiting on them, they rode out of the city on fast horses and ran towards the manor.
That night, when he reappeared on Zhuangzi, Mu Huanqing was stunned, and she didn't even have time to put on a smile. Although she tried her best to hide her expression, he could see that she was very reluctant to see him.
He glared at her and said a word. "This is the prince's Zhuangzi." That means, what's wrong with him coming to live in his own Zhuangzi
Mu Huanqing was suddenly speechless. This man looked like someone had provoked him, and he was so angry that he even spoke in a roguelike manner, with a look of "you dare to drive me away and try", which was the first time she had seen him.
Fu Yanlin saw that her sensible person didn't say anything to provoke him, so he went directly into the yard, went into the house familiarly, and lay down on the bed to sleep soundly.
After he entered the house, Mu Huanqing turned back to Liu Yun and Liu Mu and said strangely, "I didn't want to rob his Zhuangzi, why is he so nervous?"
Liu Yun and Liu Mu were speechless for a while. What can they say? He said that Lord Hou was afraid that he would dislike her, and she would drive him out as soon as he came, so he first emphasized that this Zhuangzi belonged to him.
How dare they say such a shameless thing? If it is passed into Hou Ye's ears at that time, they will not be able to eat and walk around, and it will be their sister and brother who will be driven away.
Mu Huanqing shook his head. She can't rush Fu Yanlin away, she can only think for the best, at least he has brought someone to serve, and she doesn't need to arrange it.
That night, Fu Yanlin slept until dawn, and slept very sweetly, without the aunt in the backyard bothering him, and he could still see his lovely daughter.
Doudou came to him early in the morning, threw himself into his arms, with a child's innocent smile, and called out "Father", making Fu Yanlin feel refreshed and tired without a trace.
"Daughter, do you want daddy?"
"Think!" After Doudou finished speaking, she took the initiative to smear her father's face, making Fu Yanlin elated.
As soon as Master Chief Bing was happy, Zhuang Kang's subordinates had a better life. After breakfast, they rolled up their sleeves and went to work in the manor.
Mu Huanqing didn't let them do things originally, but they said that this was what Hou Ye explained, and asked the mistress to make them as much as possible, whether it was lifting water, chopping wood or carrying heavy objects, they would do it.
Mu Huanqing thought to herself that she was indeed short of manpower. Some of the servants' wives had children, or their elders were sick and needed to be taken care of. She asked her for leave to go back to her hometown, and she asked Zhuang Kang and the three to use them first. No need to be white.
Mu Huanqing also had her own business to do, but the study was occupied by Fu Yanlin, so she had to use the large table in the living room to look at the books. Come in.
As soon as Doudou saw her mother, she said that her father had just taken her to a horse race, and also made a butterfly out of reeds for her, and showed her the butterfly when he said it.
Mu Huanqing raised her eyes and glanced at Fu Yanlin, thinking that although this man was not good to her in the past, he did cherish Doudou. From this point of view, it wouldn't hurt to let him live for a few days, so he smiled and patted her daughter's head. , said: "It's so beautiful, if you like it, keep it well. Mother has something to do, so you can play with Daddy, okay?"
Doudou nodded obediently, and Mu Huanqing raised her eyes and wanted to tell Fu Yanlin to ask him to take Doudou out to play, but he cut off the words first. "I'll play with her, you're busy, ignore us."
He picked up Doudou and sat on the couch beside him, intending to stay here.
Mu Huanqing wanted to say something, but immediately dismissed the idea, thinking that they were playing with them, as long as she didn't quarrel with her, she continued to look at her account book and ignored it.
Doudou sat on Fu Yanlin's lap, holding the woven butterfly, and smiled secretly.
The reason why Fu Yanlin is sitting here is because Doudou requested it. The daughter said that she wanted to be with her father, but she also wanted to see her mother, so Fu Yanlin agreed to carry her over, and sat in the hall with the mother and daughter.
He didn't know why he agreed so easily, maybe it was because he also wanted to see what this woman was doing on weekdays!
