Tang Xiaoshi was a little dazed.
Arriving in Luoyang City last night, Hang Rui said that Tianming ordered someone to inquire about Xun Erlang's news.From what Mu Jia and Mu Jun said just now, it was known that Xun Erlang went to Tanzhou and was not in Luoyang City, so why did he get angry and swear.
She personally brought a cup of tea and handed it over: "Second cousin calm down, what happened?"
Hang Rui drank more than half of the cup in one gulp, then knocked the cup on the table casually, and said angrily, "Xun Lan, that bastard went to Tanzhou to escape marriage."
"Escaping marriage?" Tang Xiaoshi was surprised, this was completely different from Mu Jiamujun's words.
"Isn't it!" Hang Rui slapped the small table with his palm and said angrily, "Let me see him, and I'll push him to the ground and beat him until Ye Niang can't recognize him."
"Tell me what's going on." She and Xun Lan didn't meet face to face, and the two didn't discuss anything, so why did they suddenly run away from marriage?
Hang Rui looked at her angrily, finally picked up the tea cup and drank the other half, took a few breaths, and seemed to calm down some of his anger.
"I hate you for being ugly." He said frankly.
"What?" Tang Xiaoshi was surprised, Mu Yue is ugly?Is he blind?
Although Mu Yue's appearance is not as beautiful as a fairy, but she is absolutely superior, and she is also one of the most beauties in Holland. How could you say that Mu Yue is ugly?
Suppressing a little anger in her heart, she immediately thought that Xun Lan had never seen her now, and she must think she was still the same as a child, round and fat, and a little dark.When she saw him back then, it was the age when she was changing her teeth. Both her front teeth fell out, and that grin was so ugly.
I feel a little more balanced in my heart.
But in the past ten years or so, you just ran away from marriage without even looking at her now?It is indeed a beating.
"Yeah!" Hang Rui nodded and cursed again, "This kid is really blind."
"I think he is blind!"
"Cousin, you came back to Beijing this time to get married. Now Xun Lan escaped marriage because of your ugly appearance. This is tantamount to public humiliation. When the news of your return to Beijing spreads, the whole capital will come to see your jokes. I don't know what will happen behind the scenes." How can I talk about you." The more Hang Rui said, the angrier he became.
Tang Xiaoshi was also full of anger when he said that.When Ye Niang was young, she was handsome and unparalleled, and the number one beauty in Hezhou. Was Xun Lan brainless?Even if she inherited all the shortcomings of her parents, she wouldn't be too ugly. Haven't you heard of the Eighteen Changes of Women's University?
After a while, she asked, "Second cousin, am I ugly?"
Hang Rui was stunned, looked at her in astonishment, and relieved slightly nervously: "Cousin, don't listen to that kid's nonsense. Cousin's appearance is obvious to all. If you hadn't got a marriage contract, the threshold of our Hangzhou mansion would have been broken by a matchmaker long ago. , where is it the turn of Xun Lan, that self-righteous brat."
She sneered and said, "Yeah, I'm not ugly, why should I be worried? It's Xun Lan who should be worried."
Hang Rui didn't understand what she meant, so he looked at her questioningly.
She smiled but didn't answer, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked: "I heard that he had a fight with Prince Anding Hou a few years ago, is it true?"
"There is such a thing. Because he wanted to escape marriage, he deliberately asked General Xun to go to the Tanzhou military camp to reflect on his past. General Xun saw that the prince of Anyuan Hou was seriously injured, so he agreed to him in order to calm things down."
"What are you fighting for?"
"It's related to the daughter of Marquis Anyuan. I haven't found out the specific reason. After all, it hinders your daughter's reputation. It must have been concealed by the two families and has not been revealed to the outside world."
Tang Xiaoshi thought: Since there is intention to conceal it, there must be a lot to say.Mu Jia and Mu Jun said that it was because Xun Lan had feelings for the lady of the Hou Mansion, but the reckless behavior offended the other party and caused a conflict. Now it seems that it is true or not.
But no matter whether he offended the lady of the Hou Mansion or not, he, Xun Lan, has offended her now!
"Wait for Second Uncle to come back. We need to discuss with Second Uncle about the marriage with the Xun family."
"That's natural."
"By the way, did you disclose the news of my return to the Xun family?"
Hang Rui pointed at her and said, "You really underestimate the love your grandparents have for you. We haven't left Hezhou yet, and my grandfather has already written books for the Xun family. The Xun family must have guessed that we will arrive in Beijing in two days."
"That's good." She nodded.
In the next few days, she followed the rules of the mansion and went to pay Mrs. Mu morning and evening.Mrs. Mu still didn't like her very much. Although she didn't flinch or say bad words, she didn't like that kind of indifference.
On the other hand, Mu Jia and Mu Jun have won a lot of favors in front of the old lady, and the old lady treats each other with completely different faces.
She can't argue with her elders about these things, she doesn't care if the other party likes it or not, she doesn't seem to have much hope in this Mu Mansion, so she can live in it as a temporary free inn!Sooner or later, she will marry someone, whether it is the Xun family or not, she will never stay in the Mu family for the rest of her life.
This day when she came out of the old lady's Jinrong hall, Mu Ke hurried to her side and took her hand, and asked in a low voice, "Second sister, did you hear the rumors outside?"
"What rumor?" I haven't heard anything new these days.
Mu Ke leaned close to her ear and whispered: "I don't know who has heard that the second sister is extremely ugly. There are a lot of discussions in Luoyang City, and even guessed that the reason why Xun Erlang didn't come back in Qinzhou was because he avoided marrying the second sister."
She knew that since Hang Rui could inquire about the news, many people could inquire about it.According to the current status of the Mu family and the Xun family in the court, the marriage of the two children must have attracted much attention.What's more, it is an orphan girl without father and mother and a husband who just had an accident a year ago, which has become a topic.
People like to listen to these strange gossips to relieve boredom after dinner and tea. Once they learn that she is an ugly girl, it is even more like an anecdote, and it will spread rapidly.
"Just pass it on, it will always shut up." She said, with a little helplessness.
Mu Ke was a little worried, and frowned a lot: "How can we let them spread rumors, and the second sister's reputation will be ruined. And they will only enjoy such rumors, how can they shut up?"
Seeing that Mu Ke was really worried about her, her heart warmed up, and she put her arms around Mu Ke's shoulders to comfort her: "Don't worry about Second Sister, Second Sister is not really ugly, so I'm not afraid of others saying it."
"But..." Mu Ke was still worried, how could a woman really not care if others called her ugly?
"Okay, Second Sister will go back and find a way to silence them."
Mu Ke was still frowning, his big watery eyes were full of sorrow, which made people feel a little bit of pity.
She coaxed Mu Ke a few more words, then went to the guest courtyard where Hang Rui lived.
Standing in front of the living room door, Hang Rui gave orders to his followers, and when he saw her coming, he immediately sent them back.
"What's the matter?" She glanced at several nervous attendants.
"Your business." Hang Rui sighed helplessly, turned and walked into the living room.
She stepped up to follow, and asked with a smile, "Is it the rumor in Kyoto that I'm extremely ugly?"
"Hmm!" He sighed lightly.
"That's why I came here. I want to ask my second cousin for help."
"Speak!" Hang Rui sat opposite her and poured her a cup of tea.
"Help me find out if there is any party in Kyoto recently where the gentleman of the family and the ladies go to the garden and have a banquet. I want to go to it and join in the fun."
Hang Rui paused for a moment, then understood her intentions, and asked back: "Why don't you tell the two wives and the ladies of the lord? If there is a banquet, they are most likely to be invited."
"I still trust my second cousin more." She said with a smile.In Mu Yue's memory, the Hang family kissed the Mu family.Mu Yue and Hang Rui grew up together. Although they are cousins, they are as close as brothers and sisters.When she came back, she felt that Mujiamujun and her were just sisters in face, and they even wished that such gossip would never stop.Even if there is a banquet, she will not be informed.
Hang Rui stretched out his hand and nodded her head and said, "Just saying this to you, my second cousin will go through fire and water for you."
"What did the second cousin say so scary? Those who didn't know thought I asked you to do something bad!"
"Second cousin's fault." Coaxing her, "I'll order someone to investigate later."
Just when Mu Dalang came over, he saw that her expression changed a little, as if she had something to say, and suddenly became inconvenient.She tactfully found an excuse to leave.
Two days later, Hang Rui found out that there will be a polo match by the Yan Lake in the south of the city in the middle of next month. It will be jointly organized by several nobles from Beijing and China. There are many participants, and most of them are young people.
In Mu Yue's memory, there is a lawn on the west side of Yanhu Lake, which is suitable for polo games.
There is a swallow garden on the north side of the lawn, where there are many flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the scenery is charming every spring.
This is the best, the more people the better.
The next day, Second Uncle Mu came back. As a junior, she wanted to go over to say hello, but she never thought that Uncle Mu would take the initiative to come to Hidden Cloud Courtyard before she crossed the threshold.
When he saw her, he was stunned, but only for a moment, fleeting, if he didn't pay attention to observe, it would be difficult to find this detail.
"Yue Niang has grown up, and Second Uncle can't recognize her anymore." Second Uncle Mu walked up to him with a gentle smile.
She greeted Second Uncle Mu into the main hall, and performed the ceremony of the younger generation in a proper manner.
Second Uncle Mu immediately helped her up, and said with a friendly smile, "I haven't seen you for many years, but I don't say that she is so graceful, but I know how to be polite, and I am not as naughty as I was when I was a child."
"My niece always has to grow up." She said with a bright smile, "otherwise, all these years of food and books would be for nothing."
"Yes!" Second Uncle Mu looked her over again, his face was full of joy, he couldn't help nodding his head in affirmation, but finally he sighed with emotion, "If you, Aye, Auntie, see you like this, you will be gratified."
"What the second uncle said is that we living people can live well, and they can rest assured under the nine springs."
Uncle Mu's expression froze for a moment when he heard this, and he took a deep look at her, frowning.
She turned around and took the teacup from the maidservant's hand and presented it to Second Uncle Mu with her own hands: "Uncle Second drinks tea."
Second Uncle Mu nodded, pointed to the seat beside her for her to sit down, and said worriedly, "Second Uncle also heard some rumors in the city, and was afraid that you would be sad, so he couldn't wait to come and see you. Second Uncle will find a way to deal with this matter , you don't have to worry."
"Second Uncle Lao, please worry." She bowed.
"It's just the marriage with the Xun family, Second Uncle is quite worried."
She looked at him pretending to be ignorant.
Second Uncle Mu said: "The marriage contract was made by your parents and General Xun and his wife, and the Xun family is not a perfidy. Even if there are rumors all over the world, Second Uncle believes that the Xun family will not break the contract, but..." He frowned melancholy sigh.
"It's just——if Xun Erlang really has no intentions for you, even if he fulfills his marriage contract and marries you in, he might not be able to respect you as a guest, and instead ruin the rest of your happiness for the rest of his life."
Arriving in Luoyang City last night, Hang Rui said that Tianming ordered someone to inquire about Xun Erlang's news.From what Mu Jia and Mu Jun said just now, it was known that Xun Erlang went to Tanzhou and was not in Luoyang City, so why did he get angry and swear.
