The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 15 Returning to the Palace
Mu Shuyao didn't take Chu Yuchen's words to heart at all. After entering the capital, it would be extremely difficult to get out of the Shangshu Mansion by herself. How could she have time to contact such a noble son who didn't know who it was.

Early the next morning, she got into the carriage under the leadership of Nanny Zhou and headed straight for the capital.

Because the night before, Nanny Zhou felt that Mu Shuyao had disrespected her, and she had an old face on the carriage this day, full of impatience, and even looked at Huarui and Xiaofang very displeased, and from time to time I need to teach a few words.

That night they stayed in a small farmyard in Jingxiao, and they lived in peace. The next day, they entered the city at the gate of the capital.

Finally standing in front of the gate of Mu Mansion, Mu Shuyao looked at the four characters "Shang Shu Mu Mansion" written on the plaque in front of her in a regular manner, and laughed ironically in her heart.

The dignified Minister of the Ministry of Officials actually wanted to strangle his daughter to death with his own hands more than ten years ago, but now he pretends to take her back to the mansion, but he seems so hasty, without even the most basic proof of identity, he is not afraid that he is fake.

In other words, he didn't care who the girl who was brought back was, he just needed her to bear Mu Shuyao's name to eliminate his unkind reputation outside.

Mother Zhou saw Mu Shuyao standing at the door, staring at the red lacquered door in a daze, her eyes filled with deep contempt: she was a country girl after all, she was shocked by the imposing door, when she saw the inside What kind of aura is he going to lose his composure?
"Second Miss, this is the gate, it's usually not open." Nanny Zhou put on a smirk and said, "Second Miss, please come with your servants."

Huarui wanted to speak on the side, but Mu Shuyao quickly pressed her down, and asked with a smile, "Nurse, this is the first time I'm back home, and I don't know the rules. Tell me, when or who can open the gate." Walk?"

"Of course it's the master, and there are those guests who are of the same family." Nanny Zhou said proudly: "Of course, the old lady, the lady can also go through the main door when going out, but the old lady has been devout and Buddhist all these years, and the lady takes care of the inner house. things, I rarely go out."

While talking, he brought Mu Shuyao to the side door and told them to wait before knocking on the door himself.

The concierge opened the door, and saw that it was Nanny Zhou, his face was full of smiles: "Mama is back? Mama has worked hard all the way." Then he cast a glance at the three women behind him, and asked in a low voice: " Didn't the mother go to pick up the second lady? How did you bring back three?"

Nanny Zhou also looked back at the three of Mu Shuyao and raised her chin in Mu Shuyao's direction, "The one in the middle is the second lady, and the one next to her is a good sister from the country. This time, she volunteered to accompany her to Beijing. Anyway, there are not many mouths in our house, Madam said, it's all for her company."

"Madam is truly a bodhisattva." The concierge answered, and then made a gesture of invitation to Mu Shuyao and the others: "Second miss, please come in quickly, old lady, madam has been talking about it for several days."

"Second Miss, let's go in." He said and led the three people into the door.

Entering the gate of the mansion, I ran into a well-dressed servant, who greeted me with two ordinary servants.

Nanny Zhou introduced to Mu Shuyao in a low voice: "The one in the middle is the housekeeper of the mansion, because he is the son of the wife's nanny, he was given the surname Mu by the master."

Mu Shuyao nodded indifferently, but calmly gave Hua Rui and Xiao Fang a wink, telling them to remember this person.

Mu Kang glanced at Nanny Zhou, and after being signaled by her, he came up and saluted Mu Shuyao hastily: "Mu Kang, my slave, has seen Second Miss." Although he called himself a slave, there was no trace of humility on his face.

Mu Shuyao didn't intend to argue too much with a housekeeper, since she's already here anyway, there's absolutely no reason to back down just because of a servant.

Mu Kang led the people to the main hall, walked around the screen wall, walked through several corridors, passed through a large garden with colorful flowers, and passed artificial lakes with red brocade.

Along the way, every three or five steps stood a little maid wearing a lake-blue maid uniform.

Seeing Mu Shuyao and the others coming in, these maids bowed their knees to salute. Nanny Zhou had been secretly watching the expression on Mu Shuyao's face, but she was disappointed that she didn't see the expected panic on her face, but instead Her demeanor was calm and calm, but the two little girls beside her, although their heads were lowered, glanced at everything around them from the corner of their eyes, their faces full of novelty and shock.

When Mother Zhou saw this, the stone in her heart fell to the ground, so she said, how can a country girl be calm when she sees this kind of scene for the first time, then Mu Shuyao must be pretending, but in fact she is not sure How nervous!
It's good to be able to deter her, I'm afraid she won't get in!

But it's too useless, it's just a small battle, and it's really shocking when you enter the main hall.

If Mu Shuyao knew that Nanny Zhou had automatically made up so many brains, she would definitely hold her collar and yell, "You damn old woman, do you have two eyes painted on your face? How can you tell that this girl is nervous?" gone?"

Walking all the way to the entrance of Minghui Hall, there was already a well-dressed maid who lifted the curtain courteously, and called out with a smile on her face: "Second Miss." It's just that the smile is so blunt no matter how you look at it.

Huarui and Xiaofang followed all the way in, and saw that the white marble floor tiles on the ground had been wiped spotless, gorgeous palace lanterns were hung on the roof, and the furniture in the room was exquisitely carved, which was breathtaking.

An old lady was sitting in the first seat of the main hall. She was said to be an old lady, but in fact she didn't look very old, her hair wasn't all white yet, but she looked a bit old-fashioned because she had been acting like an elder for many years, especially the early Holding a mahogany cane, the complicated pattern on the head of the cane does not show dignity, but makes people look a little old-fashioned.

Sitting below the old lady is a man in his 40s, tall and tall, with a somewhat rigid expression. He is wearing a dark blue home robe, with auspicious clouds embroidered on the neckline and cuffs with gold thread, and a green jade pendant hanging on his waist. .

No need to ask, this is the head of the family, Mu Yongnian, the biological father of this body.

Sitting under Mu Yongnian is a woman wearing a honey-colored large-sleeved round-neck Hunan silk skirt, with golden phoenix hairpins on her hair, and a somewhat fat woman. This should be Mu Yongnian's current wife, Mrs. Wang Bar!

Mu Shuyao walked up gently, and bowed to the old lady in the first seat: "Shuyao has met grandmother, father, and mother."

"Shuyao?" Mu Yongnian asked puzzledly: "You said your name was Shuyao, who gave you the name?"

"Back to my father, when my father sent Shuyao to Xiaoma Village, Nanny Zhang felt that her daughter had no name and it was inconvenient to call her, so she invited an old scholar in the village to choose this name. Forgive me, father!" Mu Shuyao's mouth curled slightly, and she replied submissively.
