Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 584

"Father, what are you calling your daughter over in a hurry just after you came down to court?"

In the main hall of the front courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, Mu Shiyan took Xiao Shuhua's arm, twisted her steps, and stepped across the threshold gracefully.

As soon as she entered the hall, she raised her eyes and saw Ruan Meiyan and her daughter sitting opposite Mu Wenhua in a corner, and immediately pretended to be surprised: "Ah, the fourth sister is also there."

"I've seen Madam, Second Miss/Second Sister." Ruan Meiyan lowered her eyebrows, got up and took Mu Shiyao to bow to the two of them.

With Mu Wenhua present, Mu Shiyan's mother and daughter, who had received the ceremony, naturally did not want to make things difficult for the two people in front of them. Xiao Shuhua even showed the demeanor of her family, and helped Ruan Meiyan up with her own hands in a quite good-tempered manner.

"Good sister, you and I are sisters of our own family. We serve our master together. Why do you have to obey the rules like this?" Xiao Shuhua said kindly, after helping Ruan Meiyan up, she took her seat again.

"Sit down quickly—look at your thin appearance, I really feel pity for you."

She is now very patient and in a good mood—thinking that Mu Shiyao was going to take Mu Shiyan's place in Yanguan, where she had concealed so many open and hidden arrows, she couldn't help but stare at Ruan's eyebrows Put on a little smile.

This poor woman has only had one daughter, Mu Shiyao, in her whole life, and her only daughter, if she is not careful, she will die outside Guanshan... Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes people feel... sad.

However, it doesn't matter, if Mu Shiyao really accidentally lost her life, as the mistress, she will definitely remember to offer her an extra stick of incense and an extra plate of fresh melons and fruits every Qingming Festival.

——This is considered as a thank you, let's take this trip for her Yan'er.

As Xiao Shuhua thought about it, the smile on her face couldn't help getting stronger, that slightly weird smile made Ruan Meiyan's spine feel cold for no reason, and her hands hidden in her pipa sleeves trembled slightly.

Although Xiao Shuhua, the mistress, has always treated her pretty well because of her nature of keeping her own place and not wanting to fight, but no matter how good she is, it is only limited to food and clothing—she has never smiled at her like this before!

She couldn't be... She couldn't have hit Yao'er with some bad idea, could she?
Ruan Meiyan suddenly let out a "thud" in her heart, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Mu Shiyao, who had her head down halfway without any expression, and her sitting posture was still as regular and honest as before.

"Hey, have you guys finished exchanging greetings?" Mu Wenhua, who was sitting on the other side, raised his hand and clenched his fists when he saw the few people sitting still, and gave a fake cough, "If the exchanging greetings are over, I'm going to get down to business."

"I've been waiting for a long time, Daddy, please tell me quickly, why did you call us here today?" Mu Shiyan smiled with curved eyes, pretending to be charming.

"You are the most curious and talkative." Mu Wenhua frowned slightly, "Sit down quickly."

He had noticed since Mu Shiyan entered the house, and he hadn't seen her for a few days, her daughter's skills had never improved, and her demeanor was becoming less and less dignified, not like a young lady from a family.

I don't know how her mother taught her.

Mu Wenhua glanced at Xiao Shuhua with a faint dissatisfaction in his eyes, but although he was dissatisfied, he really didn't know how to argue with his wife.

Back then he married her purely because of an accident, he knew in his heart that Xiao Shuhua's thoughts had never been placed on him, and he didn't have much emotion for her, only responsibility.

——It has nothing to do with love, it's just respect for each other like a guest for more than ten years.

He can't give Xiao Shuhua the wealth, glory, power and status that he wants, and he doesn't agree with her excessive pursuit of things outside her body. He can't learn to follow others, let alone learn to be servile, so they are destined to be unable to work together.

Looking back, Mu Wenhua straightened his back and cleared his throat, and his face became extremely serious in an instant: "That's right, His Majesty is going to send a batch of winter clothes and food to Yanguan for the winter for the soldiers on the border. "

"Accordingly, there are more than [-] soldiers of our Mu family in the northern frontier garrison army. As the Duke of the Mu family, Eldest Brother should be the supervisor of the grain and grass transportation this time, escorting the grain and grass, and comforting the border soldiers by the way."

"However, he just left the battlefield in northern Xinjiang a while ago. His old injuries were not healed and he was in poor health. He was unable to leave Beijing for the time being, so he sent A Ci to go to Yanguan with the grain transportation team on behalf of Mu's family to visit the border guards. General."

"Your Majesty thinks that although His Majesty the Seventh Highness who is more familiar with Ah Ci is the supervisor of grain and grass transportation, it is somewhat inconvenient for her to accompany the army alone as a little girl, and Yin girl is not in good health yet." Mu Wenhua's tone Micro pause.

"Specially let us have another girl from the second room to go with Ah Ci. The travel expenses for food and beverages will be reimbursed by the palace. After returning to Beijing, there will be another reward."

"So, Yan'er, Yao'er, do you two volunteer to go?"

"This...Master, how long are they going?" Ruan Meiyan, who had always been silent, had the courage to speak first.

When she heard the phrase "Go to Yanguan" just now, her heart immediately turned cold. At that time, she didn't understand why Mrs. Xiao Er's attitude towards her was so good today, but now she completely understands.

She clearly wanted Yao'er to go for Second Miss——

But that is Yanguan, a place of bitter cold on the border, how can this be the place where the girl's family should go!

Ruan Mei's eyes were red with anxiety, she didn't dare to disobey Xiao Shuhua's wishes, but she also didn't want Mu Shiyao to replace Mu Shiyan so easily.

She didn't know what to do for a while, so she just rushed ahead of the crowd and asked such a sentence without beginning or end.

"It's hard to say." Mu Wenhua shook his head lightly, "It's as little as January, and as much as March. After all, he will definitely be back at the end of the year."

"It's been so long..." Ruan Meiyan murmured with lowered eyes, and Mu Shiyan who was at the side knew the timing was just right, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Father, this is a good thing to increase knowledge, and my daughter should have volunteered to go there. "

"It's just that my daughter heard from my fourth sister a while ago that she was bored in the mansion all day long, and if she had the opportunity, she would like to go out of Beijing to visit other places... This matter is exactly what she wants."

"In addition, she has always been friends with the third younger sister, and she is the same age as the third younger sister. All these things add up to each other. My daughter guesses that she probably wants to go to Yanguan very much."

"That's right, this time, my daughter won't compete with her for this rare spot." Mu Shiyan covered her lips after saying that, with a sincere and earnest smile, very similar to someone who sincerely thinks about her sister Good sister.

"Fourth sister, do you think so?" Mu Shiyan turned her head to look at Mu Shiyao, her eyes were full of threats that were not concealed.

Mu Shiyao, who was aware of the threat, felt so funny in her heart - hearing this, how could she not know that this was a bright game that Mu Xici and others set for Xiao Shuhua's mother and daughter?

It's a pity that her mother and daughter were put together and still didn't know it. She just thought that she was taking advantage of the sky!
"Yes, Father." Mu Shiyao, who had had enough laughing in her heart, lowered her eyes obediently, pretending to suppress her worries and fears, and calmed down slightly, "As the second sister said."

"...Daughter, I would like to go to Yanguan with my third sister."

　Ah~~~
