urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 142 Lantern Festival 4
Mu Zhaozhao suspected that there was something wrong with her eyes.

Otherwise, how can you say that you are thin against your will and need to nourish more?

If I hadn't looked in the mirror before going out and looked at my loving grandmother, I'm afraid I would have mistakenly thought that I really didn't gain weight, right?
Mother He quickly brought over a bowl of bird's nest.

Mrs. Meng smiled and said: "Your great-grandfather also said that the bird's nest nourishes the kidneys and nourishes the stomach. It does not dry out and moistens the body. It is just right for you to nourish your body now."

"Grandmother loves me. I made grandma bother." Mu Zhaozhao saw that there were not many bird's nests, but he still couldn't bear to refuse, so he ate it after a few mouthfuls.

Not to mention the taste is really good.

Mrs. Meng said again: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't be embarrassed to speak."

"Grandma, don't worry. Grandpa went to check my pulse yesterday and said I'm fine." Mu Zhaozhao still cherishes his own life. He didn't plan to go out, but he was curious about the movement outside, so he watched She asked: "Grandma, is cousin okay? Is cousin Su better now?"

The main reason was that it was not easy for her to ask her grandfather these gossips, and her mother didn't dare to say too much, for fear of scaring her again.

In fact, on the day she came back, there were some blood stains on her skirt and jacket, and her face was terribly pale, which almost made Yu Wanniang faint from fright.

Afterwards, she wanted to stay in Linglongju to take care of her daughter, but she was persuaded by her mother-in-law and husband, so she gave up this plan.

However, Yu Wanniang also had to visit several times a day, and each time she had to stay for more than half an hour, which made Mu Zhaozhao really unable to bear her mother's urgency to stare at people.

In addition, it may be because of pregnancy, the mind is more sensitive, and often tears.

Especially when talking about what happened on the Lantern Festival, the tears came even more.

Therefore, Mu Zhaozhao didn't dare to inquire about these things from his mother.

Mrs. Meng also smiled when she heard her granddaughter's words: "Don't worry, Ah Mu is fine, but she is still investigating what happened that day."

She doesn't think her granddaughter is unlucky, but she thinks her granddaughter is very lucky.

It was because Qin Mu wanted to take her to the Zhuangyuan Tower that he could meet the assassinated sage.

In the end, his grandson also got into the eyes of the Holy One because of his meritorious service in rescuing him, and now he has changed to a new job, and he and Yao Anrong became the commander of the Imperial Guard Army, a fourth rank.

You know, even Xuan Pinghou is only a third rank.

Moreover, Qin Mu is still young, and it is possible to climb to the position of a first-rank commander in the future.

Then there is the third master of Cheng En Gong's mansion, who personally admitted that Mu Zhaozhao and Su Hui saved him.

You know, Third Master Mo is the younger brother of the empress, and I heard that he asked all the guards around him to rescue him, so he was targeted by gangsters and almost died.

Therefore, not only the heirs of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, but also personally came to thank him with generous gifts.

The Meng family is not short of money now, what they are short of is contacts, and now they are able to get in touch with Duke Cheng'en's mansion, isn't that making people happy?

It's like nectar after a long drought.

Mu Zhaozhao asked curiously, "It's not easy to catch the people behind the scenes, is it?"

Even if she is ignorant, she still knows that daring to assassinate the Holy One is a death penalty for exterminating the Nine Clans, and ordinary people dare not do it.

Those who do it must be dead men, and if they fail, they will be benevolent.

"Yes," Mrs. Meng also nodded in agreement: "With such a big incident, the capital has been much more peaceful during this period."

After speaking, I once again felt that Mu Zhaozhao was lucky.

You know, the other party was also arrested by them this time, even the distinguished guests in the private room of the Zhuangyuan Building. After being rescued, he committed suicide by jumping off the building.

But these things were too bloody, so she didn't tell Mu Zhaozhao, for fear of scaring her.

Mu Zhaozhao also asked worriedly: "Grandmother, is Sister Su feeling better now?"

Not only was Mu Zhaozhao seriously ill, but Su Hui was even more seriously ill than her. After Mr. Meng left, he even invited the old man to visit.

"It's almost okay." Mrs. Meng looked at her and smiled: "Our Meng family is not prosperous, and there are not many sisters who can talk to you. You can visit with your second aunt in two days. .”

She deliberately forgot that there were girls of the same age in her husband's and concubine's family, and she wished she could live in and be with Mu Zhaozhao.

The main reason was that their intentions were not right, and after the concubine's accident, she suspected that her husband's concubine was also involved, but there was no evidence.

It was also because of this that she didn't want Zhao Zhao to go out with them more.

On the other hand, Su Hui is really a good child, and it's rare that she and Zhao Zhao hit it off, and Mrs. Meng is willing to let them walk around more.

At this time, she was very glad that no one knew about the fact that she wanted Su Hui and Qin Mu to get together, otherwise they would all have knots in their hearts.

Mu Zhaozhao responded sweetly: "Yes, I always listen to my grandmother."

She talked with Mrs. Meng for a while, but it was Mrs. Meng who urged her to go back and rest.

If it wasn't for the fact that grandma loved her, would she have thought she was disgusting?

Anyway, she really didn't want to go back to lie down again, so she simply went to her mother's side, had a conversation with her mother, and was urged to go back to rest, so she went to her second aunt's side again.

The maid in the Su family's courtyard said that Su family was not there, and went to the Green Bamboo Garden in Sanfang.

Mu Zhaozhao also simply went to the Green Bamboo Garden.

It wasn't that she wanted to see the second aunt too much, but she realized that her grandmother was also hiding something from her, and in the Meng family, it was the second aunt who liked gossip the most.

Now that she wants to know the news outside, it is absolutely right to find the second aunt.

When she came to the Green Bamboo Garden, Mrs. Su was also concerned when she saw her: "Zhao Zhao, are you okay? I went to see Ah Hui yesterday, and she still has a fever. It seems that your body is indeed stronger."

Then he looked her up and down a few times: "Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that you have taken care of yourself recently, and you have gained a lot of weight."

Mu Zhaozhao choked, and couldn't keep the smile on his face.

No wonder some people don't like to listen to the truth. She found that she is also a vulgar person, so she likes to listen to her grandmother and mother, and Qin Mu said that she is too thin, so she should eat more lies like this.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wu specially asked the maid to make a cup of ice sugar wolfberry red date tea. Hearing what the second sister-in-law said, she hurriedly smoothed things over: "I think Zhao Zhao is very good like this. She is rosy and looks good. Zhao Zhao lost a little weight before."

"That's true. I'm going to get married. I really have to put on some weight so that I can have children in the future." After Madam Su finished speaking, she felt that she shouldn't say this in front of the young lady who hadn't left the cabinet, so she quickly changed the subject: "Zhao Zhao, You don't even know how lucky you and Hui Hui are, thanks to you not staying in the private room, I heard that Prince Rui's daughter-in-law was also insulted and finally committed suicide by jumping off the building?"

After finishing speaking, I realized that I only heard the news when I went to visit my niece at my mother's house. When I came back to gossip with my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law beat her up and told her not to say these things in front of her sister-in-law and niece.

So she quickly covered her mouth, and hurriedly said: "Zhao Zhao, you must not tell your grandmother and your mother about this, or I will be miserable, and your grandmother won't let me tell you."

"Second Aunt, don't worry, I won't say anything." Mu Zhaozhao didn't expect to hear the news, so he moved to her side and asked curiously, "Didn't the son and the concubine be together at that time? Protect the Crown Princess?"

Not only did Su hear a lot of gossip at her natal family, but she also heard a lot of inside information from her husband, holding it in her heart, she wanted to gossip with someone.

Now being asked by Mu Zhaozhao, she couldn't stop: "Hey, that son is useless, when I tried to stop him, I was knocked out all of a sudden."

"Speaking of which, it's strange that the Zhuangyuan building's business was so good on the day of the Lantern Festival. Four private rooms were booked at a high price, but all the assassins in disguise went there."

"I heard that the assassins who knew something inside committed suicide after being caught. Those assassins who messed around on the second and third floors were all gangsters and the like. Haven't found out who is behind the scenes yet?"

After hearing this, Mu Zhaozhao was indeed in a cold sweat, but he still looked at her with admiration: "Second Aunt, you are really amazing, you know so much."

"Hey, what's the matter!" Su's heart became even more elated when she heard this, and she continued to gossip with her.

From her mouth, Mu Zhaozhao found out what he wanted to know.

Therefore, he was even more worried about Qin Mu.

The opponent is so powerful and able to calculate so much, it must be very dangerous for Qin Mu, who is still tracking down their whereabouts.

Hey, I just hope that Qin Mu will be more careful, she doesn't want him to have an accident, then she has to find a suitable man to remarry.

People just can't stand nagging, so Qin Mu came to visit her that afternoon.

He still didn't forget to secretly bring a lot of idle books to pass the time for her: "Zhao Zhao, it's all my fault. I got you involved and caused you to suffer a great crime. You have lost a lot of weight in just a few days."

He also persuaded her very tactfully: "These ghost books are a bit scary, why don't you stop reading them? Don't be afraid."

She had begged himself to find her some idle books to pass the time, but he agreed because he felt soft-hearted for a moment.

Now the more I think about it, the more I regret it.

Mu Zhaozhao looked at the dozen or so idle books he brought, and put them in a small box on the side with satisfaction. Then he brought him a cup of tea and cared for him: "Is my cousin busy recently? I think you have lost weight. , Rest early and take care of yourself."

When Qin Mu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "I'm fine, I'm fine."

Mu Zhaozhao asked, "Now that you have been transferred to the Imperial Guard, is it more dangerous than being in the Xishan Camp?"

"No, it's all the same." Qin Mu hesitated for a while, but still told her the truth: "I want to become a first rank with my military merits, but it's very difficult to be a second rank general."

"War is not only based on good martial arts, but also must be able to mobilize troops and condemn generals, understand formations and tactics, and be able to observe celestial phenomena from the top and geography from the bottom."

"And I didn't have the careful guidance of my elders. I only got to where I am today. It's too difficult to take a step closer."

"At that time, I wanted to participate in the selection of the Praetorian Guard."

"Now that Meng Sheng has blue eyes and joined the Imperial Guard, he will be able to stand out even more."

After listening to his words from the heart, Mu Zhaozhao understood his thoughts a little bit.
