The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 190
Mu Xu answered her grandmother's question next to her, and also asked if everything was well in the mansion when she was not in Beijing. Concubine Zhang replied with a smile that everything was as usual, and praised Baochai for taking good care of the family.Mu Xu then gave his father's letter and the list of gifts to his grandmother for review.Several people chatted for a long time, Zhang Taifei remembered that her grandson and his wife had been exhausted all the way, so she asked them to go back to rest, and it would not be too late to talk tomorrow.

Several people returned to Chaohui Courtyard, Mei Jian and the maids saw their eldest son come back, there was a burst of excitement without mentioning it.After dinner that night, Daiyu said, "Don't worry about me these few days, spend more time with Sister Bao and Yinglian, just let me be alone for a few days."

Naturally, Mu Xu would not make false excuses, so he stayed at Baochai's Qingzhi Courtyard that night.Because of the reunion after a long absence, Baochai rarely showed a very different enthusiasm, which made Mu Xu very happy.After the two had finished loving each other and washed their bodies, they leaned on the bed and chatted.

"You mean your brother is going to get married, which girl is it? It will be all right this time, right?"

Hearing what Mu Xu said, Baochai suddenly became a little unhappy, "Why do I feel that you are taking pleasure in other's misfortunes?"

Mu Xu really thought so, but he justified, "Where did you think, I was afraid that your brother would find another tigress because of the Xia family girl's affairs before? If that's the case, you It's time to quarrel with your mother-in-law again."

Baochai was very happy to hear her husband call her mother-in-law, and carefully introduced Xue Pan's marriage to him. The second daughter of Master Liu Ming, a member of the Ministry of Industry, was chosen."

"Officials from the Ministry of Industry, did you get the lead from the second master of the Jia family?" Mu Xu asked curiously.

"Where do you dare to bother me? This is the line drawn by the official media. Speaking of my uncle, my mother's favorite candidate for a daughter-in-law was Tanchun, and I also thought it was very good. Tan girl is shrewd and capable, and she is also a housekeeper. good hands."

"But guess what, my mother sent an official media to bring this matter up, but my uncle immediately refused, leaving no room for our family, both in and out of the meaning of looking down on my brother. Wait for the official media I went back and told my mother what he said, but she was so angry that she said that she would never have any contact with his family again."

In fact, Mu Xu also felt that Xue Pan was not good enough for Jia Tanchun, but he definitely couldn't say it in front of Baochai, so he had to find another way to explain, "Let your mother look at it later, this matter can't be done at all. Yes, if I were in the capital, I would definitely stop your mother from asking for trouble."

"How do you say this? How can you be boring yourself? I admit that it is good to visit a girl, but she is a concubine after all, and my brother is the head of the Xue family. Besides, our four major families have been connected for generations. There are relatives, like my mother married from the Wang family to the Xue family."

"The root of this matter is not your Xue family, you will understand after listening to me." Mu Xu then told Baochai what Jia Amnesty said about his brother when he accompanied Daiyu to visit Jia's mansion.

"After what you said, it seems that our Xue family has overestimated our capabilities."

"It's good that you know that Master Jia Er's idea is to live with rare goods. If there is a way, he must have sent this daughter to the palace a long time ago. Like Jia Yuanchun, he will strive for wealth and honor. How could he wait until now?" Mu Xu disdained Said.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this disappointing thing. You came back just in time. My brother got married on the eighth day of the eighth day. I was still having a headache. I didn't know how to tell my grandmother!"

"There's nothing you can't say about it. You just have to talk to grandma. Could it be that her old man can deliberately embarrass you?"

"I know my grandma won't make things difficult for me, but I'm a married girl, so I can't keep running to my mother's house. If others find out, they will definitely say that I'm rude."

Mu Xu felt dizzy for a while, Baochai was good at everything else, the only bad thing was that she liked to talk about etiquette, even when the two of them were making out in private, she still looked like she couldn't let go.Mu Xu can also understand her behavior, it's just because she was born in a merchant's family, she is afraid that people will underestimate her, so she always wants to show her polite side.

It's understandable, but Mu Xu really doesn't like her like this. He immediately said, "It's easy to talk about your brother. The day after tomorrow will be the eighth day of the lunar new year. Then I will accompany you back to your mother's house. But you need to change this habit." That's fine, don't always be polite at home, I'm tired seeing you like this, when we are in private, the more casual you are, the better."

Baochai was somewhat disobedient, "I'm not very casual now, how can I be polite to you?"

Holding her in his arms, Mu Xu whispered a few words in her ear, Baochai was immediately ashamed, "I knew you were not a good person, and you were going around to make me feel inferior."

"Look at what you're talking about. I'm a husband and wife. How can I be demeaning you?" Mu Xu said whatever he wanted to say, but Baochai didn't do it, so he didn't say anything at all, and expressed it directly with actions. After being overwhelmed by the waves, the room is full of charming colors.

The next day, Mu Xu didn't go anywhere, but sent someone to pass the news of his return to the family he was friendly with. As for the palace, he planned to attend Xue Pan's wedding and then go there in person. In addition to Tu Zhen's words, his mother also asked him to bring a lot of Liaodong specialties to the empress dowager and others.

After finishing all this work, Mu Xu went to Yinglian's place that night. He still felt sorry for this girl who was not fighting or snatching, so he wanted to comfort her.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of November. Mu Xu originally planned to go to Xue's house in the afternoon, and then returned home after having a wedding banquet.Seeing that Baochai had just gotten up in the morning, and ordered Yinger to dress up for her, and then personally inspected the wedding gift for Xue Pan, looking impatient, Mu Xu simply followed her wishes and gave it to Xue Pan. Grandma said, and went to Xue's house early.

When she heard the news that her daughter and her uncle came early in the morning, Aunt Xue was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly called Xue Pan, who was preparing to welcome her, and ordered him to go to greet her in person.

Xue Pan hurriedly came to the gate, and saw three carriages parked outside, Mu Xu was standing in front of the window of the first carriage, talking something, while servants of the palace were busy moving things in the two carriages behind.Seeing this, Xue Pan immediately yelled towards a door, "If you don't win, go in and ask some servants to come out and help move the things in."

After he finished scolding people, he put on a smiling face and came to Mu Xu to salute, "Your Majesty is here, welcome if you are lost, forgive me!"

When Mu Xu saw that he was pulling the text today, he couldn't help joking, "Brother Wenlong is in high spirits on happy occasions, he even speaks politely." Then he turned his head and asked Bao behind the curtain. Chai, "You think I'm right. It's such a sudden change. It's really uncomfortable for a while."

Baochai said angrily through the window of the carriage, "Don't make fun of brother, go in quickly to be serious, what does it look like to just stand at the gate like this!"

Mu Xu laughed, and said to Xue Pan who was squeezed by him with an uncomfortable face, "Officer Bridegroom, don't invite us in yet."

"Yes, yes, go in quickly, my mother has been waiting." Xue Pan hurriedly said yes, then turned his head and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage that Baochai was riding into the mansion, and he personally led Mu Xu inside.

On the way, Mu Xu couldn't help asking who he had invited to greet his relatives, Xue Pan replied, "Your Majesty knows the virtues of our relatives in Beijing, and I don't bother to ask them, so I just invited Ziying, Han Qi, Wei Ruolan and the others accompany me to pick up the bride, as for the reception of guests, Xue Bian, Lian's second brother and Liu brothers will be in charge."

"That's not bad, everyone knows the basics, so there won't be any unpleasantness."

Xue Pan nodded earnestly, "That's the truth, just like my mother's natal nephews, they are more likely to cause trouble than me. I dare not entrust them with such a big matter today."

While the two were talking, they arrived at Yimen. Ying'er helped Baochai off the carriage, and the four of them went to the flower hall of the inner house together to meet Aunt Xue.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Aunt Xue sent Xue Pan away, and she accompanied Mu Xu and her daughter to carry out daily routines.

Baochai looked around for a long time, but she didn't see Xue Baoqin, so she couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Mom, why didn't you see that girl Baoqin?"
