The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 287 Tell the truth
Qin Keqing was silent for a long time before saying, "No matter how you say it, my father has raised me for many years and loves me very much. He is only Zhong'er, so I can't just ignore him, right?"

Mu Xu sneered and said, "Although you are kind, you can't blindly show weakness. Take Qin Zhong's incident this time as an example. It is clear that he cheated your money and feelings. First, it was his mother's mouth. Fortunately, you have become the chief culprit. Is there such a reason in the world? It is simply a joke!"

Qin Keqing smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's because my father was too partial to me in the past, so my mother always felt that my father didn't pay much attention to Zhong Er, which made him develop his current temperament."

"Speaking of it, it's just a way of repaying your kindness. You must know that if you continue to treat them so freely and let them develop a habit, they will definitely pester you and treat you as a fool." Yes." Mu Xu shook his head, not agreeing with Qin Keqing's actions at all.

After hearing this, Qin Keqing subconsciously denied, "No, Zhong'er will definitely correct her mistakes and return to the right after this lesson. As for the mother, she just spoke in a moment of anger because she was worried about Zhong'er."

Mu Xu listened to Qin Keqing's insincerity, and still turned to the Qin family, so he hated iron and steel, "I really don't know what to say to you!" After thinking about it, he decided to persuade him in another way, "Since you have such confidence in them , how about we make a bet?"

"Bet, how to bet? Tell me carefully."

"Let's bet that you don't help Qin Zhong in the next year, and see if he will change his ways!"

Qin Keqing is not stupid, after hearing what Mu Xu said, she still doesn't know the real meaning of what she said.But Qin Keqing was not afraid at all, after all, in her heart, Qin Zhong was always a good boy, who just made mistakes occasionally.Therefore, when talking about Mu Xu's bet, she was not afraid at all, and asked enthusiastically, "What about the lottery? If there is no good lottery, I will not follow you!"

Mu Xu smiled and said, "Caitou, whoever loses, promises a condition to the winner, how about it?"

Qin Keqing said without hesitation, "Okay, let's make a deal." The two made an oath by high-fiving, and they reached an agreement.

After more than an hour, Mu Xu came out of Hepu County Lord's Mansion refreshed, and when he returned to his own mansion, he washed up in the front yard first, changed into clean clothes, and then entered the back house. As soon as he stepped into Chaohui Courtyard, Mei Jian and Xueyan, who were gossiping under the eaves, saw him coming back from a distance, and greeted him.

"Where are you princesses?"

Xue Yan replied first, "The Imperial Concubine is reading in her room."

Mu Xu nodded and went back to the room, and he saw Daiyu leaning on the couch, reading with a book.

"Didn't you say you were going to the Fifth Uncle's house for a banquet? Why did you come back before noon?" Daiyu put down the book in her hand and asked in confusion.

Mu Xu came to the couch with a normal face, squeezed to sit next to Daiyu amidst Daiyu's coquettish voice, and said, "Don't mention it, that girl Ying'er insisted on pestering me and came to Tong'er arguing." Playing, I found a chance to slip away."

Daiyu didn't have the slightest doubt, and said with a smile, "Then you can just bring her. Anyway, Tong'er is quite lonely at home, so it's good to have a playmate."

"Don't you think she's still lonely? She's like a boy every day, jumping up and down everywhere. A few days ago, she let go of the pair of parrots in the garden. I don't know who it was. I was so angry at that time."

Daiyu explained embarrassingly, "It's also because the pair of parrots learned to speak after a long time, and I was a little anxious at the moment!"

After the couple chatted for a while, Daiyu said, "When I came back from Miaoyu just now, I met Yang An's mother. From what she said, their family is ready, and they can marry Xueyan at any time. What do you mean?"

Mu Xu lay on Daiyu's lap on his back, and said casually, "Then tell Yang An later, let their family choose a good date, and get married with peace of mind."

Daiyu replied, "Alright, then I will send people to the yamen tomorrow to cancel their deeds, and I will buy a house nearby and give it to Xueyan as a dowry."

"Our palace is at the root of the imperial city. Where can you find a suitable house for you to buy? In my opinion, it's better to find a vacant lot in the back street and let them build it themselves."

Daiyu had never been to the back street, so she couldn't help but worried, "I remember that the people living in the back street are all servants of the mansion, but there is still room to spare? If it's because of my selfishness, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to ask others to move." ?”

"Don't worry, I've only been to the back street before. On the westernmost end, there are several courtyards that are vacant, and there are more than enough small houses to set up."

Daiyu took away Mu Xu's hand that was playing tricks on her leg, and asked, "Hey, isn't that not far from Yinglian's house?"

Mu Xu confirmed, "Well, it's not far away. That area was originally the place where the great-grandfather wanted to resettle his clansmen, but he didn't want our family to be small for generations, so apart from the house of Yinglian's parents, other It's all wasted."

"If it takes too long to rebuild the house, wouldn't Xueyan's marriage have to be postponed?" Daiyu was a little embarrassed, after all, Xueyan had been with her for so long, and she hoped that Xueyan would be successful married.

Mu Xu laughed and said, "When did you become an old mother? Such a small matter is worth your worry? Let Xueyan marry her first, and then give it to her after the house is built. It's just a year and a half later." load."

Hearing that Mu Xu compared her to an old woman, Daiyu immediately refused to obey, snorted coldly, and was about to grab Mu Xu's ears, but Mu Xu shook his head, stretched out his arms to hug Daiyu's waist, and with a little force, pulled her away. Brought into his arms, the two rolled into a ball on the couch in an instant.

After playing around for a while, when he heard footsteps outside, Mu Xu let go of the red-faced Daiyu and sat up. Then he heard Xueyan's voice, "My lord, Mrs. Daxue sent Ying'er here, saying that she was looking for someone. You have something to do."

"I see, you let her go back first, and I will go to Qingzhiyuan later." After sending Xueyan away, Mu Xu looked at Daiyu who was arranging her clothes, and suggested with a smile, "How about we go to the bedroom to rest for a while? "

Daiyu glared at him, and said softly, "I'm not going crazy with you if you're not serious in broad daylight! Why don't you go to Sister Bao, hurry up, I'm going to see Brother Mao at my mother's too."

Mu Xu smacked his mouth regretfully, walked out shaking his head, came to Baochai's room after a while, looked around, and found that Baochai was the only one there, and wondered, "Where is Jin'er?"

Baochai went forward, pulled Mu Xu into the inner room and sat down, and replied, "I just fell asleep after eating the milk, so I asked the nurse to carry her to the next door, so as not to let the little ancestor come and go. Waking up with a start makes people uncomfortable."

"Then why are you looking for me?"

Baochai hesitated for a moment, but still said, "My mother sent someone here to ask me about my uncle. I don't know much about the inside story, so I had to ask Yinger to ask you."

Mu Xu signaled Baochai to sit down, and then said, "You've just given birth, I was afraid you would overthink it, so I didn't tell you about those things."

Baochai sat next to Mu Xu, frowned and asked, "I hear what you mean, but is my uncle going to be okay this time?"

Naturally, Mu Xu would not be surprised by Baochai's alertness, he thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth, "Your uncle Wang Ziteng is involved in a lot of things this time, if there is no accident, he will be beheaded at worst, or exiled at worst. "

Although due to many things, he didn't like this uncle very much, but Baochai was still taken aback when he heard that the consequences were so serious, and quickly asked, "Why did it get to this level?"

Mu Xu wanted to let Aunt Xue calm down through Baochai's mouth, don't think about what is there, and don't hide it right now, telling the cause and effect, "Your uncle is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The previous emperor is still here. At that time, he had colluded with Prince Yizhong in private. Although he picked himself out through the matter of Iron Net Mountain, he did hate His Majesty after all. If he can keep a low profile and be honest In the words of the day, it is impossible to say that he can have a good end. But who made him die so hard, and was involved in the rebellion of the Maitreya Sect, don't you think this is not the end of the road?"
