The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 144

When Mu Xu returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a big problem with the monk and Taoist.But what he couldn't figure out was why they paid so much attention to the Jia family, especially Jia Baoyu.The few times they appeared in the original book, the people they came into contact with were all involved with the Rongguo Mansion.Even Yinglian, who has nothing to do with the Jia family, finally came to the Jia family because of Xue Pan.If they weren't gods, then Jia Baoyu wouldn't be the reincarnation of Fairy Boy, the statement in the original book must be wrong.

"It's broken!" He suddenly thought that these two people seemed to have given Xue Baochai a prescription.Thinking of this, Mu Xu couldn't sit still, got up and walked out again.

Ying Lian, who was waiting for him, saw him and hurriedly called him, "My lord, you just came back, are you going out again? The concubine has already returned from the Lin residence, and she sent a message for you to go."

Mu Xu looked at the sky, and it was almost evening, so he replied, "I see, you go and answer grandma, and say that I have something urgent to go out, and I will talk about it when I come back."

"But..." Before Yinglian finished speaking, she saw him walking out of the room quickly, she hurriedly chased him out, but only saw his back coming out of the moon gate.She had no choice but to stomp her feet, pouted and walked towards Songhetang.

Mu Xu didn't bring any entourage, so he came to Xue's house alone on horseback. Seeing him, the family members of Xue's family didn't dare to neglect him, so they hurriedly reported in.The mother and son of the Xue family who were eating together had different reactions when they heard that Mu Xu was coming.

Aunt Xue felt that this future son-in-law was too impatient, how could he come to the door as soon as the marriage was arranged?

Xue Pan, however, beamed with joy, and said proudly, "I'm right. With my younger sister's appearance, there is no one who doesn't love her brother-in-law. Isn't this here?"

On the other hand, Xue Baochai was calm, she shook her head and denied, "What is my brother saying, a dignified son of his family doesn't even understand such etiquette? He must have something to do when he comes to our house." Speaking of this, she was suspicious. Looking at Xue Pan, "Brother, you haven't caused any trouble recently, have you?"

"You...you are really my good girl. I haven't been out recently. Where did I go to cause trouble? Mom, look at my sister. What are you talking about? How can you say that about your brother?" Xue Pan felt aggrieved .

"Okay, stop arguing, let's welcome people in first." Aunt Xue interrupted the two siblings with a headache.

Xue Pan had no choice but to stop talking, got up and went out to welcome Mu Xu in.Don't look at Xue Pan shouting smoothly in front of his old mother and sister-in-law, but Mu Xu himself, how could he have the guts, he is still as respectful as before, calling his lord, not daring to overstep the rules in the slightest.

Mu Xu knew Xue Pan quite well, and knew what kind of person this guy was, so he treated him the same as before, lest he give him a little good face, he would push his nose and cause trouble again, and asked himself to clean up for him .

Under the leadership of Xue Pan, Mu Xu came to the flower hall, only Aunt Xue was left here.Seeing Mu Xu, Aunt Xue was a little embarrassed, she didn't know how to show respect, although Mu Xu was also her son-in-law, but with his status here, she really didn't dare to take it casually.

Fortunately, Mu Xu gave her a step, and before she could speak, he bowed and saluted, "My nephew has seen my wife."

Aunt Xue felt relieved, and quickly replied, "Don't be so polite, sit down and talk quickly." Then she ordered the girl to serve tea.

Mu Xu thanked her, sat on the first seat on the left, took the teacup from the girl, and took a sip.

Seeing that Mu Xu wasn't surprised at all, Aunt Xue immediately became happy. When she saw Mu Xu last time, she was only focused on pleading for her son, and hadn't looked at his appearance carefully.This time I finally got a clear view, I saw him with a slender body, wearing a plain blue robe and a jade belt around his waist.With a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows on his face, big and energetic eyes, and a high nose, the whole person looks handsome and noble.

Aunt Xue unconsciously compared Baoyu with Mu Xu.Baoyu is actually quite handsome, but the two have completely different manners, one looks like a child who hasn't grown up, and the other has extraordinary momentum.Aunt Xue is now the mother-in-law watching her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her son-in-law, the more she is satisfied. Although she regrets that her daughter cannot be a regular wife, if she is asked to choose one of the two, she will still choose Mu Xu.

Mu Xu originally wanted to wait for their mother and son to ask questions before explaining the purpose of the trip.But Aunt Xue only looked at herself, not knowing what she was thinking.As for Xue Pan, he also looked like he was wandering in the sky and didn't say a word.He had no choice but to plan to speak first, but at this moment, he heard a light cough coming from behind the screen.

It turned out that when Baochai saw Mu Xu coming, she hid behind the screen.Hearing that Mu Xu came in and greeted her mother first, she felt sweet in her heart.But who would have thought that after he came in, his mother and elder brother would not say a word.In her heart, she felt that the two of them were rude, but also felt very embarrassed, so she could only cough to remind them.

When Aunt Xue heard her daughter's coughing, she immediately trembled and felt embarrassed.She couldn't help looking at Mu Xu, but saw that his expression remained the same, without any change.Of course she didn't know, as soon as Mu Xu came in, he heard someone behind the screen, and after thinking about it for a while, he guessed that it was Baochai hiding behind.

"Don't blame me, my son, I thought of other things for a while, and I was a little lost."

Mu Xu smiled and said politely, "It's okay, Ma'am just call me by my name."

Aunt Xue hesitated for a while before she said, "Then I'll be called my nephew." Seeing Mu Xu nodding, she also laughed, "I don't know why my nephew is here?"

Hearing that she finally asked about herself, Mu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and replied seriously, "This afternoon, the Embroidery Guard found the traces of the Maitreya Sect thieves, and those two had contacts with the Xue family, so I came to ask about the situation. "

"What!" Aunt Xue was startled immediately, she stood up in fright, and Xue Pan said nervously, "My lord, you made a mistake, how could our family recognize those people?" Even Xue Baochai behind the screen listened. , couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing that they misunderstood, Mu Xu quickly comforted them, "You misunderstood, the purpose of my visit this time is something else." Immediately, he told the appearance of the monk and his guessed origin.

After finishing speaking, he added, "I heard Brother Xue once said that when his sister was in Jinling, the two of them gave a prescription of Lengxiang Wan as a gift to treat heat poisoning. I'm afraid there is something wrong with it. It may endanger Miss Xue's body, so I came to ask in person."

After hearing his explanation, the three members of the Xue family were relieved.Then Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, wanted to slap Xue Pan's mouth, why did this idiot say everything?But Xue Pan was stunned at this time, why didn't he remember that he had said this.

Aunt Xue glared at her son, but she also knew that this is not the time to talk about it, and her daughter's health is more important, so she quickly asked, "If there is something wrong with the prescription, what should we do?"

"Madam, don't worry. Can you copy the prescription for me? If there is a ready-made medicine, give me a pill, so that I can find someone to check and see if it is harmful." Mu Xu had already thought about it when he came. So he said calmly.Seeing that Aunt Xue still had a worried look on her face after ordering someone to fetch the things, he continued, "I will send another imperial doctor to treat Xue Shimei in two days, Madam, don't worry."

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan quickly thanked him, but Mu Xu just said it's okay.After a while, after receiving the prescription and two pills, Mu Xu declined their mother and son's persuasion, got up and left.

After he left, Xue Baochai walked out from behind the screen. Seeing Aunt Xue's concerned expression, she comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I haven't felt any discomfort after taking that medicine for so long. I think it's not a big problem." .”

Aunt Xue thought about it, and finally let go of her worries a little bit, but she still warned, "No matter what, you must not take this medicine again, wait until the imperial doctor in the palace has seen it."

Speaking of the imperial doctor, she smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Mu still cares about my son very much. He just came to tell us the news today when he heard the news."

Xue Baochai blushed and refused to say, "Mom, what are you talking about!"

"Okay, okay, I don't say anything." Aunt Xue saw that her daughter rarely showed a childlike attitude, so she couldn't make fun of her anymore.

Xue Pan on the side didn't care about this, he said triumphantly, "I said my brother-in-law is not bad, my mother was not happy at first."

"When am I not happy?" Aunt Xue immediately distinguished, and then remembered his big mouth, and angrily said, "I haven't asked you yet, why do you say everything outside, regardless of your sister's reputation?" Yet?"

Xue Baochai also glared at Xue Pan angrily.Xue Pan couldn't argue with anything, so he had no choice but to explain weakly, "I really never said that, you believe me!"

But the mother and daughter could never have imagined that Mu Xu actually knew about this because he had seen the Red Mansion in his previous life.He couldn't speak bluntly, so he had to excuse that he learned about it from Xue Pan.Regarding Xue Pan's defense, the mother and daughter did not believe a word, and Xue Baochai said in disgust,
"Brother, drink less alcohol when you go out, and don't talk nonsense and cause trouble."
