Chapter 521 (1/2)
The sun is setting, the vine is withering and the crow is fainting.
At sunset, there are no people on the official road.
From afar came a slow sound of horse's hooves, and gradually came a group of people and horses from the end of the official road. Finally, there was a carriage full of various items.
Mu Qingge rode in the front and looked up at the magnificent city wall in the setting sun. He could not help saying, ”Luodu, I'm back!”
This trip went to Shengyuan Empire, Rong state, ancient Wu state, Li state and Qin state. In the meantime, he has already crossed the late autumn and winter and directly entered the early spring of Luodu.
”For more than four months, I don't know how your grandfather is and whether he can take care of himself.” Mu Lianrong rode to Mu Qingge and sighed the same way.
Mu Qingge turned her eyes and grinned: ”grandfather knows you brought a husband home, he must be very happy.”
”Bad girl, she's joking with my aunt.” Mu Lianrong said with a smile. But the look is not as shy as it was at first.
More than a month ago, they returned from the ancient state of Qin.
When they arrived in Li state, the soldiers divided into two routes. Moyang summoned a team of Longya guards to send Shang zisu back to the medicine Tower Branch of Yu state. Calculate the time, Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing should also return from the general hospital to the branch.
It was originally intended to bring the purple perilla back to the state of Qin, because Lou Chuanbai was also in the state of Qin. Just don't want to, when he left the ancient Wu state, the news came from the state of Qin that Lou Chuanbai knew that Mei Zizhong had returned home, so he left Mu Fu and returned to yaota branch.
In this way, there was no need for Shang zisu to bypass the state of Qin and return directly from Li to Yu.
And they continued to move towards the state of Qin.
Along the way, not in a hurry, but also calm. After walking for nearly a month, I finally came to the city of Luodu.
Gradually close, from the city gate closed time, has been closer and closer, the people who live outside the city have accelerated the pace, quickly out of the city. At last, the sound of drum beating in the evening spread to the sky, and the heavy city gate closed slowly. Behind the gate, the soldiers who guarded the city pushed the gate to close it.
Just before the city gate was closed, someone suddenly called out, ”wait, we're going into the city.”
The people inside stopped, but the door didn't open. Instead, someone yelled, ”the time for entering the city is over. Come back tomorrow!”
After that, the gate continued to close.
The man who called the door frowned slightly, and then called out again: ”the little Lord of Mu's house will go back to the house and open the door quickly!”
”My lord?”
”Come back, little Lord?”
Behind the door came an excited voice.
The door, which was about to be closed, was finally opened. A leader came out of the crack and looked at the person calling the door.
Come on, riding a horse
The captain squinted carefully and his eyes suddenly widened!
It's not a fan horse, it's a horse of spirit beast Yan ma. It's the mount of little Lord Long Ya's personal guard!
This discovery, the captain immediately yelled to his back, ”quick, open the gate, welcome the young sir back to the capital!”
With that, the gate behind him opened slowly. And he quickly came to the people, respectfully said: ”dare to ask your honor, where is the little Lord?”
The Dragon tooth Wei cold and stern way: ”the young Lord is in the back, will arrive immediately.”
”Yes, yes...” The captain didn't dare to ask.
At this time, all the soldiers in the city had been opened. The captain summoned a man to command, the latter quickly ran to the wall.
After a while, the general of the garrison took the rest of the people and ran down the wall quickly.
……
When mu Qingge came to the city wall, he saw a group of four or five hundred people kneeling on both sides of the gate. The man in general's uniform stood in the middle.
As soon as she appeared, the general of the garrison immediately recognized her and saluted him with his fists and hands: ”the last general, Li Yi, and his subordinates are here to welcome the young Lord back to the capital --!”
After that, the sergeants on the left and right sides all cried out in unison: ”welcome back to the capital!”
”Welcome back to the capital!”
”Welcome back to the capital!”
The neat shouts, the same excited expression and the extraordinary ostentation made Xue Qiao gape. He approached mu Qingge and whispered, ”Qingge, you can compare with the emperor in this aspect.”
Mu light song a smile, did not say much.
She said to the garrison general Li Yi: ”General Li, you are welcome.”
The most simple greeting, almost happy Li's old face smile out of a flower. Finish this sentence, mu Qingge rode black Yan to the city.
Until her figure has almost walked out of the city gate, just secluded way: ”soldiers guard the city hard, each reward hundred liang of silver.”
Hundreds of people outside the city were overjoyed by the bounty from heaven.
They knelt down again and said to the back of muqingge: ”thank you for your kindness.”Xue Qiao felt the admiration of the soldiers of the state of Qin to Mu Qingge. He could not help shaking his head and said to his wife, ”I'm afraid your family's prestige is more powerful than that of the royal family.”
This sentence does not mean to kill the heart, but states the facts.
Therefore, Mu Lianrong was also proud to say, ”because we have a little Baron in our family!”
In Luodu, most of the shops have already closed down, and people have come home to cook and rest. There are few people on the street. A group of people, then toward the Mu Fu.
When they came back this time, they didn't tell Mu Xiong in advance, in order to give him a surprise.
The gifts on the bus were all kinds of things that Xue Qiao purchased from the ancient Wu state to the Qin state to please his father-in-law. After all, he married his daughter without his permission. If you don't bow your head and admit your mistake, I'm afraid it will be hard to live in the future!
After mu Qingge and his party left the gate of the city, Li Lin quickly woke up and realized: ”hurry up, send someone to the palace to report to your majesty, that is, the little Lord is back today!”
With that, Li's expression became complicated.
Since the day when the little Lord left, the emperor has given orders to all the generals guarding the city gate. If you see the young Lord coming back, you should report to the palace immediately.
The feelings between the monarch and his subjects are not ordinary.
……
”Here it is.” Mu Qingge once again saw several plaques outside the gate of Mu mansion.
It seems that every time I come back to see it, I feel different.
People dismounted one after another. The house guarding the gate would recognize several people and immediately became happy.
They want to report to their husband, but they are stopped by mu Qingge.
Then, a group of people quietly entered the Mu Fu.
Mu Fu, Mu Xiong's yard. In early spring, the courtyard is surrounded by green shade and full of all kinds of flowers and plants. It is already dusk, but mu Xiong has not returned to his room to rest. He is still standing in the courtyard, pruning the flowers and plants in his hands with relish.
Youhe and Huayue accompany him behind. Seeing his infatuated appearance, they can't help but smile at each other.
Hua Yue turns back to her room and takes her single clothes.
Young lotus came forward and said, ”my husband, it's getting late. Let's have a rest, but we'll be ready for dinner. ”
Mu Xiong didn't look back, waved his hand and said, ”what's urgent? Anyway, it's my old man eating alone. It doesn't matter if I'm early or late.” After that, he sighed with emotion: ”what's good for eating alone?”
Hua Yue comes out with a single dress, but comes out of the door.
When she saw the man's eyes, her soft eyes burst into ecstasy. She opened her mouth to breathe, but was stopped by mu Qingge.
Mu light song steps lightly to the flower moon body, from her hand to take the single clothes.
Hua Yue was so excited that her tears whirled in her eyes.
Mu Qingge saw the situation, patted her cheek, comforted for a while, then walked toward Mu Xiong.
In front of him, Youhe is still carefully persuading, ”my husband, the maids and maids are left to take care of you. If you don't eat on time and wait for the Lord to come back, the maids will have to report it truthfully.”
Mu Xiong ”hem” a, bet airway: ”that wench heart really have me this old man, come back to accompany me to have a meal!”
Suddenly, he felt clothes on behind him.
There is also a familiar voice: ”good, today I will accompany grandfather to eat.”
Mu Xiong was stunned.
Youhe saw the visitor and said in surprise, ”sir!”
Mu light song smile jaw head, to her still have hastily come to the Flower Moon way: ”this period of time you have worked hard.”
Tears in their eyes.
Mu Xiong's body is a little stiff to turn around, and finally see the face that yearns for day and night. His voice trembled, but he said with a strong voice: ”hum, do you know you're back?”
Mu Qingge smiles: ”I know.”
”How long will you be back this time?” Mu Xiong hard voice way.
Mu light song thought seriously: ”at least to accompany my grandfather, I feel bored, I will go.”
”Sweet words!” Mu Xiong laughs and scolds.
After that, he said with mixed feelings: ”OK, just come back. Just come back. ” He looked at mu Qingge carefully, as if to see whether she was thin, tired and wronged outside.
Mu Qingge let him look at him with a smile in his mouth.
After a long time, mu Xiongcai put down his heart and said, ”it's OK. It seems that he has not been wronged.”
”Grandfather, don't you worry about me? I've always been the only one who has suffered in front of me. Why have I ever suffered Mu light song smile way.
”Don't be complacent.” Mu Xiong points her nose, doting blame.
”I see.” Mu Qingge obeys.
”When I come back, I will have an appetite to eat. Let's go and eat with my grandfather. ” Mu Xiong throws the scissors in his hand and laughs.Then he told the young lotus moon, ”the two girls go to inform the chef that today the little Lord will go home and let him serve some more good dishes. We should have a good drink
”Yes.”
Young lotus and Huayue are happy to respond.
”It's not enough to ask the chef to make more dishes, just one or two dishes,” Mu added
”Ge'er, you've got a big appetite for going out?” Mu Xiong was surprised.
Youhe and Huayue are also curious.
But they were even more worried about whether they were not around to serve them, which made the young Lord ill dressed and had enough to eat, so that when they came back, they would have a big appetite.
Mu Qingge didn't know what they thought in their hearts, but said to Mu Xiong with a smile: ”grandfather, I'm not the only one to come back this time.”
Say, look at the door.
Mu Xiong also raised his eyes and looked. After a while, another man came out of the door.
”Miss Chang!”
”Miss Chang!”
Young lotus and Flower Moon bend over and shout.
Mu Lianrong gently nods her head to them, and then comes to her father.
When Mu Xiong saw his daughter coming back, his eyes were filled with joy. He grabbed his daughter's hands and said, ”how did you two meet each other? Since we are back together, we will not send a letter in advance. Hum. ”
Mu Lianrong said with a smile: ”father, don't be angry, we don't want to give you a surprise?”
”Surprise? I think you two are trying to laugh at me Mu Xiong hummed.
Mu Lianrong and mu Qingge look at each other and smile, and the family is happy.
Even though they have lost a lot, they are still beautiful now.
”How about it? What interesting things did you encounter during your first trip, and could you adapt to it? ” Mu Xiong asked with concern.
Mu Lianrong is different from mu Qingge. How can the latter say that she has been dressed up as a man since childhood and raised in front of a man. She is the overlord of Luodu at a young age. It's not once or twice to leave the state of Qin. With his own skills, Mu Xiong is not particularly worried. On the contrary, it was Mu Lianrong who grew up around her since childhood and never left the state of Qin. The first time I went out to travel, my father didn't worry. It was a fake.
Mu Lianrong said with a smile: ”I'm fine. The outside world is very big. I really met a lot of interesting people and things.”
”Where did you two meet?” Mu Xiong's suspicious way.
In the information he knew, the granddaughter and daughter did not go in the same direction at all.
”In the ancient witch kingdom.” Mu Lianrong replied.
Mu Qingge suddenly began to laugh, looked outside the gate and said to Mu Lianrong, ”Auntie, how long do you want someone to wait outside? If you're embarrassed to say it, I'll help you
”Light song!” Mu Lianrong's eyes flickered and her expression became embarrassed.
Mu Xiong saw the clue and asked, ”Oh? Who's out there? ”
When he drank, Mu Lianrong and mu Qingge didn't feel anything, but Xue Qiao outside the door couldn't stand. He had to walk out of the shadow and stand outside the door and salute Mu Xiong respectfully: ”my son-in-law Xue Qiao, meet your father-in-law!”
His words made people in the hospital react differently.
Mu Xiong is like lightning, and Mu Lianrong is shy. Youhe and Huayue are shocked and can cover their lips with their hands. They only admire Qingge and smile.
”You, you, you What do you say Mu Xiong pointed to him, his voice trembling.
Xue Qiao can only bear the heart uneasy, hard scalp again: ”son in law Xue Qiao, see your father-in-law!”
This time, Mu Xiong heard clearly. He turned his stiff neck, looked at Mu Lianrong, glared at him and asked, ”are you going out this time and marrying yourself out?”
”Dad Mu Lianrong was ashamed and angry, and stamped her foot with coquettish anger.
What was the father saying? It's like how much I hate marriage.
Father's anger, she can't have, can only burn this fire on Xue Qiao's head.
”Cough.” Mu Xiong at the moment just ignore her, just to Xue Qiao board up face, put up the frame of father-in-law. ”Who do you say you are? How did I get to know my daughter? Who else in your family? What do you do for a living now... ”
Crackling, Mu Xiong asked a lot of questions.
Xue Qiao listened to the cold sweat, but did not dare to perfunctory, respectfully write down all, and a careful answer.
Each answer in the mind of a few circles, sure there is no problem, just dare to Mu Xiong said.
After that, Mu Xiong wants to ask again.
Mu Qingge said in time: ”grandfather, it's late. Let's eat first. If you have something to say, you can eat and say the same thing. After all, visitors are guests. ”
Mu Xiong a Leng, stare at her one eye, can only say: ”good, eat first.”
On the way, mu Qingge accompanies Mu Xiong to walk in front, and Mu Lianrong and Xue Qiao walk in the back.
Seeing the melancholy on Mu Xiong's face, mu Qingge whispered: ”what's your grandfather doing? Are you not happy that your aunt is married
Mu Xiong's face became stiff and said in a stuffy voice, ”how can I be unhappy if your aunt can find a good man? It's just too sudden. I don't know what kind of character Xue is. ””Didn't grandfather believe in aunt's eyes?” Mu Qingge said with a smile: ”just think about it, my aunt is married, and soon I can add a grandson to you. How good is that?”
As soon as he heard the word ”grandson”, Mu Xiong's eyes suddenly brightened. When he looked at Xue Qiao, he was also pleased with his eyes.
However, when he looked at Xiangmu light song, he could not wait for his face to converge and clean up. He snorted bitterly: ”here you are, I don't think I can look forward to it. Fortunately, there is your aunt. No, I'll talk to the boy named Xue later, and say that Lianrong's future children, both men and women, must have a surname of Mu! ”
……
”You said you came from the second-class state of Yu?” Mu Xiong confirmed again.
The dinner was very happy. After three rounds of wine, muxiong slowly accepted the sudden appearance of his son-in-law. But he still has his own worries.
Xueqiao nodded.
Mu Xiong frowned and said, ”will your family agree with your marriage?” As he said this, he looked at Mu Lianrong with some worries in his eyes.
It was not that he felt that his daughter was not worthy of Xueqiao, but that there was a gap between the third and second class countries.
In addition, the daughter's age is a little older, Xue Qiao's talent and appearance in the state of Yu must not worry about getting a wife. Can the Xue family accept a daughter-in-law like her own?
Mu Xiong's words make Mu Lianrong droop his eyes and put down his chopsticks.
Seeing this, Xue Qiao quickly grabbed her little hand and assured Mu Xiong, ”my parents are very open-minded and will love Lianrong. Besides, it's my own marriage. It's up to me to decide who is the most suitable to be my wife. Father in law, this time I'm here to get your permission. After a while, I'll take Lianrong to Yuguo Xue's family and tell them all in person to their elders. Don't worry, I will never wronged Lian Rong, let alone fail her
Qiao Murong's words restored Xue Lianrong's confidence.
Mu Xiong also nodded slightly at ease: ”OK, I believe you. But I said that in this, if you dare to disappoint Lianrong, let her suffer injustice. I don't care what kind of first-class or second-class country you are, and no matter how powerful the Xue family is in the state of Yu, my Mujia army's iron cavalry will step down the Xue family and seek justice for my daughter! ”
