After leaving Xijinyuan, Mu Yunjin was sitting in the carriage, playing with the phoenix-tailed whip, and she couldn't put it down.
"Miss San, the prime minister's residence is here."
The carriage stopped quickly, and Ding Xian's voice came from outside.
Mu Yunjin said kindly, opened the curtains and looked outside, saw the carriage was parked at the gate of her house, and then looked at the sky.
Then he turned his eyes to look at Chu Li, and said with a smile, "It's getting dark soon, the sixth prince should go back and rest early."
Hearing Mu Yunjin's voice, Chu Li's clear eyes fell on Mu Yunjin, seeing that it was rare for her to talk to him without thorns, thinking that the phoenix-tailed whip really hit her liking, so he nodded lightly.
…
After bidding farewell to Chu Li, Mu Yunjin walked into the gate of the mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the butler came up to welcome him, and gave Mu Yunjin a gift, his face was full of joy, "Congratulations, Miss San."
Mu Yunjin paused, raised her eyebrows, and subconsciously touched the phoenix tail whip wrapped around her wrist. The news spread so quickly
So he smiled at the housekeeper, "Thank you, Uncle Wang."
After saying that, Mu Yunjin walked towards the front hall. As soon as she entered the front hall, she was shocked by the gift boxes wrapped in red silk all over the room.
The gift boxes filled the whole room, completely blocking her way back to the backyard.
Look at the red silk wrapped on it, could it be...
Mu Yunjin paused for a moment, glanced at it, and realized that the front hall was full of people, even the two sick patients, Su Biqing and Mu Lingzhu, were helped to sit in it.
When everyone saw Mu Yunjin, their expressions were different.
"Yunjin is back." Mu Xiang spoke first, looking at Mu Yunjin with a rare soft smile on his face.
"Well, what are these things?" Mu Yunjin nodded, and then her eyes fell on those gift boxes.
Hearing this, Mu Xiang couldn't hide his smile even more, "This is the betrothal gift ordered by the sixth prince just now. There are a total of sixty-eight kinds of tricks, which are several times more than the customary betrothal gift. It really shows sincerity."
Mu Yunjin froze for a moment, her brows furrowed slightly, she had been with Chu Li all afternoon, and she didn't hear him say that she had prepared a betrothal gift.
It seems that this time the marriage is really inevitable.
After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin casually took out a jade ruyi from the gift box, held it in her hand for a moment, and then sighed secretly, it really was something valuable.
Chu Li, this kid, how many transactions have been hidden in secret, not only can he readily take out 30,000 taels of gold to buy her jade pendant, but also take out so many gold, silver, jewelry, precious calligraphy and paintings to hire her at once, it is really strange.
It's just that it's a pity that these things have all fallen into Mu Xiang's hands now.
"At first, I was worried whether the sixth prince would give us a blow because of Yunjin's bad reputation in the past, but now it seems that I was worrying too much."
Su Biqing spoke out at the right time, looking at the betrothal gifts that almost filled the whole room, she only felt a nameless anger simmering in her heart.
Seeing that Su Biqing started to choke herself again, Mu Yunjin raised the corners of her lips, then frowned slightly, and looked at Mu Xiang worriedly, "Father, my mother said that day, because Yunjin still has two younger sisters, she couldn't get them out when she got married." What a good dowry for me, now that the Sixth Prince has given so many dowries all at once, we can’t say anything too shabby here, can we?”
Mu Xiang paused, and when he heard Mu Yunjin's words, he glanced at Su Biqing with some displeasure, and then turned to look at Mu Yunjin, "Don't worry, you are the first daughter of our Mu family to marry, and you Marrying into the royal family and being a father will never make people laugh."
"With father's words, Yun Jin can feel at ease." After Mu Yunjin finished speaking, she gave Su Biqing a smug look.
Mu Lingzhu, who had been silent all this time, was still a little weak at this moment, seeing the room full of betrothal gifts, she felt heartbroken again.
This scene that has been fantasized countless times has really come true now, but it is not fulfilled on her body.
She knew Chu Li a little bit, she liked what she liked, and no one could force anyone who didn't like it. Now, the betrothal gifts that filled the room were enough to represent his affection for Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin...
Mu Lingzhu gritted her teeth, looking at the smiling face in front of her, her eyes were full of cold waves, could it be that she has studied poetry and books for many years and gained a good reputation as the number one talented woman, but it is still not worth a beautiful looks
How could she be content with this!
At this time, Mu Xiarou, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, suddenly uttered a voice, ran to Mu Yunjin's side, and held her arm affectionately, "Congratulations to the third sister, it seems that after marriage, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince will definitely be special." I love my sister."
The corner of Mu Yunjin's mouth twitched slightly, and she curled her lips, so the love will be spared...
"Yeah, Yunjin looks like a blessed person, Sanniang is really happy for you now." Luo Ningyu also spoke at the right time, looking at Mu Yunjin with gentle eyes.
When Mu Yunjin heard Luo Ningyu's voice, she glanced at Luo Ningyu.
This third lady is usually low-key and has a gentle temperament, but she can teach a child like Mu Xiarou who is full of thoughts. I don't know if the temper of the third lady behind the scenes is the same as usual.
…
When she returned to Shihua Pavilion, Zixiang immediately rushed out from the back room, and said loudly to Mu Yunjin, "Congratulations, miss, Miss He Xi!"
"Stop! Don't mention this to me again, my head hurts!" Mu Yunjin made a pause to Zixiang, then stretched her waist and moved her neck.
Zixiang pursed her lips and smiled. Having been in contact with Mu Yunjin for so many days, she has already figured out Mu Yunjin's temperament, so she is not afraid of Mu Yunjin at this time, and then said, "The sixth prince's betrothal gifts are piled up in the whole room. This time, Da Furen and Fourth Miss will be pissed off!"
"There are also those who bullied Miss in the past, this time I gave them hundreds of courage, and they dare not bully again!" Zixiang said, with a hint of pride in her eyes.
When Mu Yunjin heard this, she sighed helplessly, and poked Zixiang's forehead with her hand, "You stinky girl, you speak so loudly, are you afraid that others won't hear you?"
"Be careful when I'm not around, I'll be skinned!" Mu Yunjin deliberately threatened Zixiang.
When Zixiang heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and she didn't dare to talk anymore, "Miss, please stop talking nonsense, servant, go and prepare hot water for you to take a bath."
"En." Mu Yunjin nodded in satisfaction.
Behind the bedroom screen, Mu Yunjin was lazily leaning against the bathtub, the phoenix tail whip was still wrapped around her wrist, no matter how much she fiddled with it, she couldn't get it off.
Zixiang stood aside, sprinkled flower petals into the bathtub from time to time, and when she saw the phoenix tail whip in Mu Yunjin's hand, she said strangely, "Miss, where did this bracelet come from? It looks unique and beautiful. "
Bracelet
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, looking at the huddled little whip, there was some thought in her eyes, this phoenix-tailed whip, as the old man said, is really spiritual.
"Chu Li gave it to me." Mu Yunjin touched her wrist and said softly.
Hearing this, Zixiang covered her mouth and smiled, "The Sixth Prince is really kind to Miss, I'm really curious how far Miss and Sixth Prince have progressed!"
"Gossip!" Mu Yunjin complained when she heard Zixiang's words.
"Gossip? Miss, did you go to fortune-telling with the sixth prince?"
…
Early the next morning, Mu Yunjin was gently pushed awake from her sleep.
When she opened her eyes, Zixiang stood beside Mu Yunjin's bed, and said softly, "Miss, get up quickly, Nanny Qu is here."
Mu Yunjin was slightly taken aback, and after careful consideration, she remembered that Nanny Qu was the person next to Concubine Qin, so she sat up and yawned, "What's the matter with Nanny Qu?"
"Today, Concubine Qin and Empress Dowager Zheng are going to Shuiyun Temple to offer incense. Concubine Qin specially invited the young lady to go with her. Right now, Nanny Qu is coming to the mansion first to spread the word." Zixiang said.
Mu Yunjin nodded, and when she mentioned Shuiyun Temple, the thousand-year-old tree that Zixiang mentioned that day came to mind.
I don't know if I have a chance to take a look today.
Thinking of the thousand-year-old tree, Mu Yunjin's heart throbbed inexplicably, and the mysterious power emerged again, pulling her tightly.
…
In the front hall, when Mu Yunjin stepped in, all eyes were attracted to her.
I saw her wearing a light water green dress, her hair was simply combed into a small bun, and a jasper hairpin was inserted on it. The simple attire made the whole person look elegant and tranquil, yet agile.
"Hi, Nanny Qu, I've kept you waiting." As soon as Mu Yunjin entered the door, she greeted Nanny Qu who was sitting there, and directly left Su Biqing who was in the main seat aside.
Nanny Qu nodded with a smile, got up and stroked Mu Yunjin, "Third Miss, you're being polite."
Mu Yunjin smiled, and only then did she notice that there was an old woman sitting beside Qu Nanny, with a serious face, sitting there, and didn't intend to say hello to her.
After a pause, Mu Yunjin thought for a while, and this person seemed to be Nanny Yang who was beside Empress Dowager Zheng.
Could it be that Nanny Yang came to invite Mu Lingzhu
After thinking about it, I saw Mu Lingzhu walking in from the back garden. At first glance, she was dressed up quietly. She was wearing a light pink skirt with brocade embroidery and gold trim. There were also large lotus flowers embroidered on the skirt, and her hair was in a bun. Wearing a colorful butterfly hairpin, the whole person is full of beauty.
After looking at Mu Lingzhu's embroidered skirt, Mu Yunjin lowered her head and looked down at the dress, which was made of some old materials, and sighed again, different treatment, different treatment!
Su Biqing sat in the main seat, and glanced at Mu Lingzhu. After seeing her outfit today, a flash of admiration flashed in her eyes.
"Zhu'er, Yun Jin, today you two are going to Shuiyun Temple with the Queen Mother and the Dowager Concubine to offer incense. You have to be quiet and don't make trouble for the Queen Dowager and the Dowager Concubine, understand?" Su Biqing said.
Mu Lingzhu nodded when she heard the words, and smiled, "Mother, don't worry, Zhu'er will definitely not cause trouble for the Queen Mother."
"Madam Xiang, don't worry, in the entire Diehua City, Miss Fourth has the most gentle temper. Since the last time the Empress Dowager saw Miss Fourth, she has been admiring Miss Fourth, and she is always thinking about it!" Yang Nanny said at the right time. , and smiled at Su Biqing.
Su Biqing nodded, with pride in her eyes.
On the side, Nanny Qu smiled faintly, looked at the time, and said to Mu Yunjin, "Miss San, the carriage is already ready outside the residence, why don't we set off first."
