Bright Spring

Mu Zhen raised her mouth and said displeased: "Then are you going or not?"

"Okay... okay." Geng Hao nodded, then pondered again, "Oh, with the current situation of the Geng family, your family seems to look down on me a bit. I kindly bought a century-old ginseng, but the housekeeper didn't accept it."

"Let me see." Mu Zhen reached out for the box in his hand.When Geng Hao handed it over, she opened it, picked it up, looked at it carefully for a while, and sniffed it again, "How much did my cousin buy it for?"

"Wuguan." Geng Hao said truthfully.

Mu Zhen covered her mouth with her white and tender fingers, and let out a "chi" laugh, her eyes were full of smiles.

Geng Hao blushed: "Cousin also think things are too cheap?"

Mu Zhen shook her head and smiled, "Silly cousin, you have been cheated, this thing is not worth five hundred coins, how can it be worth five pennies?"

Geng Hao was angry for a while, and clenched his fists and frowned for a while.

Mu Zhen looked at him for a while, then said softly: "Others look down on you, that's someone else, I never dislike you. Although the Geng family is not as good as before, cousin is very ambitious!"

Hearing this, Geng Hao frowned, and looked at Mu Zhen with relief.

Mu Zhen persuaded again softly: "Yesterday, the young man in Liyuan has a lot of background. Since my cousin has met him, don't worry too much about the debt, you can make friends with him, maybe there is a way."

Geng Hao was stunned for a moment, and said: "Cousin, could it be..."

Hearing this, Mu Zhen was suddenly annoyed and said, "What do you think of me? Didn't I also hear you tell my grandmother that you have to achieve something to make your family famous, so I will find a way for you?"

After she finished speaking, she stomped her feet and said, "You go on your own, I won't send you off!"

Geng Hao hurriedly said: "I'm just joking, don't be angry, cousin."

Mu Zhen said: "It's inconvenient to say too much here, I really can't see you off. Remember what we said just now, don't run away first this time!"

……

On the bank of Dianchi Lake, Zhu Gaoxu brought the recovered Guo Wei to relax.

When he saw those two young ladies and the people who met in Liyuan again, he immediately understood one thing: there is another force staring at Mu's residence!

On the land by the water and in the air above the lake, there is a kind of bird everywhere. When flying in the air, its wings are black, but its belly is white, very beautiful.Countless birds hovering in the air and gathering on the ground are even more spectacular than the flocks of pigeons in the park.The lake and water, and the birds soaring in the blue sky are just the sights that make people feel at ease.

"I came out today, I didn't bring much money, it's too heavy. Tell me where the mansion is, and I'll send it to you later!" said the handsome young man.

Zhu Gaoxu looked away from the flock of birds in the sky, turned his head and said, "Forget it, I've lost the bill, so how can I collect your money again?"

Geng Hao straightened his chest and said, "I said I would pay it back, so I will definitely do it!"

Zhu Gaoxu was speechless, if the younger generation gave him money right away, he would save the trouble and take it directly; but now Zhu Gaoxu doesn't want to say who he is or where he lives.

The two young ladies were taking out rice and calling the birds around them in the palm of their hands.They were still dressed as the day before yesterday, one of them was a pretty girl, not wearing a man's scarf robe, and the other was wearing gaudy clothes.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to keep entangled in the issue of the twenty pennies, so he casually said to the girl: "Little brother, this bird is called a black-winged kite, and it eats meat, bugs, hares, and voles, except rice."

"Ah? Really?" The little girl asked innocently.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The little brother is from Yunnan, don't you know? They have come to Dianchi Lake in the past two months to mate|mate..." Zhu Gaoxu looked at the young lady's scarf and robe, and then glanced at the handsome young man next to him , smiled and said, "Usually at this time, the birds will comb their feathers and show their most beautiful side to the opposite sex, so as to attract each other."

The girl's face turned red immediately, but she seemed to be able to take a joke, and she even smiled and said: "Brother has studied a lot and knows a lot?"

Guo Wei, who was wearing a cotton skirt next to her, also looked up at Zhu Gaoxu with admiration.But she didn't speak, nor did she show her relationship with Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Before I came to see them, I also asked others to know."

The young man next to him heard the two talking and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with an unfriendly expression.Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said to the younger generation: "Brother, don't misunderstand." He paused and said, "For this kind of thing, as long as the two of you are of the same mind, no one else can interfere. Take a closer look at that little brother, and I was also looking at you when I was talking, my eyes were all about you, why are you staring at me?"

Having said that, the handsome young man was a little embarrassed, he clasped his fists and said, "I don't know what you mean, brother."

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said: "Then let's be more sensible, let's go first, everyone, let's say goodbye." Guo Wei also saluted with blessings generously, and the two young ladies and the younger generation then returned the salute and said goodbye.

Zhu Gaoxu turned to Guo Wei and said, "Look at the sun that day, it looks like a big lamp."

Guo Wei looked up, puzzled.

After leaving for a while, Guo Wei said: "My lord, the little girl who disguised herself as a man just now looks like a couple with that scholar."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "Wei'er is really smart. The big lamp I mean here is what I mean to tease... Others are lonely and widowed, and we shine there like a lamp. Aren't we disturbing other people's good business?"

Guo Wei hurriedly covered her mouth, and let out a "puchi" laugh.

Guo Wei's illness just happened not long ago, and Zhu Gaoxu originally wanted to take her to relax.But not long after walking, Guo Wei said that she was going back to the carriage, saying that she saw that the new servant girls in the house were all dark, and she was afraid of being tanned by the Yunnan sun.

The two came to the carriage not far away. An eunuch Cao Fu was sitting in front of the carriage, and Wei Da was standing there with his horse beside him.

Zhu Gaoxu helped Guo Wei get into the carriage first, but he himself stood beside the carriage, looked back, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Wei, do you remember the three young men and women we met the day before yesterday?"

Wei Da cupped his fists and said, "The general will remember."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered and said: "I made such a conjecture: the young man wrote the invoice, and his name was Geng Hao; therefore, his age should be the grandson of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing. The other two girls returned to Mu Mansion after leaving Liyuan; so one of them may be It is Mu Sheng's daughter, niece and other female relatives.

The day before yesterday, when Wang Bin was following Miss Mu's family, he was followed by another person.That secret work may be to secretly protect the Mu family's family members and people in Naimu's mansion, or it may be other forces that are staring at Mu's mansion.

Today we saw the young lady of the Mu family come out privately again, so I decided: there is still some kind of force that has been staring at the Mu family, it is the secret work of the day before yesterday! "

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Wei Da, paused for a while and said: "Before Geng Bingwen died, he fought steadily in the 'Battle of Jingnan', and won many soldiers of the Jingnan Army; the battle of Zhending, the emperor said he won, In fact, there were heavy casualties, and our brothers were almost besieged by Geng Bingwen! Geng Bingwen fought for the Jianwen Dynasty and won the trust of the Jianwen Dynasty's monarchs and ministers. Otherwise, the first general of the "Pingyan Army" would not be Geng Bingwen!

Now that the emperor is enthroned, he will never trust the Geng family of Marquis Changxing, the Geng family is doomed!How much water does Mu Sheng have to get into his head before he is willing to continue marrying the Geng family?

Therefore, I think that the young lady of the Mu family will never be allowed to have a private tryst with Geng Hao.

If the spy following Wang Bin was someone from the Mu family, then the Mu family would have known about the young man and girl's little tricks, and would definitely restrain the young lady of the Mu family.In this way, can the young lady of the Mu family still come out today? "

After Zhu Gaoxu finished the phone call, he said firmly: "There is still a force secretly watching Mu's residence!"

Wei Da looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a look of surprise, he was stunned for a long time before cupping his fists and said: "My lord is wise!"

"Hu Wei's people? Chieftain's people? But it doesn't make sense, Hu Wei didn't bring a few people with him, let alone why he is staring at a ten-year-old girl from the Mu family?" Zhu Gaoxu pondered.

Wei Da said: "My lord, why don't you send someone to investigate?"

"How to investigate? Are you sending a group of spies to surround the Mu residence?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned.

After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage, raised the curtain and said to Wei Da: "Go to Mu's residence, let's walk around and leave."

Wei Da clasped his fists and said, "Obey!"

Guo Wei said softly: "The words that the prince said just now are very powerful. The prince has bothered you."

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to grab her snow-white Rouyi, looked at her and said softly: "I have to worry, I don't want to ruin those close people around me because of my stupidity!"
