Bright Spring

"My son is at fault. I spend too little time with my mother." Mu Sheng said with a guilty expression.

Geng shook his head and remained silent.

Mu Sheng turned into a pinch, and while serving Geng, he said again: "It will be mother's birthday soon, and my son asked someone to send out all the invitations. But... Cousin Geng, my son will not invite you." , I wonder if Mother thinks it is okay?"

"I shouldn't have invited you in the first place." Geng said, supporting Mu Sheng without hesitation.

A look of relief appeared on Mu Sheng's face, and he said, "I just hope my cousin won't get angry."

Geng said: "I know what kind of person Geng Qi is, he understands. If Geng Qi doesn't understand the situation of the Geng family in the capital, how could he come to Yunnan Mansion?"

Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Mother is right."

Geng said again: "Sheng'er is holding a birthday banquet for the old man. The clan, civil and military will all come. There are so many people. Is Geng Qi afraid that others will not know that he is in Yunnan Mansion? The old man is not worried about Geng Qi, but his son Geng Hao , I have seen him before, and I think he is not very sensible."

"There are few things in the younger generation, so Geng Hao is not angry with mother?" Mu Sheng said kindly, "But as long as the cousin understands his son's painstaking efforts, he will naturally discipline his family, so mother doesn't have to worry about it."

Gunn nodded and sighed.

Mu Sheng was silent for a while, and then said: "My son has something to say, I've wanted to say it for a long time."

Geng looked down at him and said, "Is there anything that our mother and I can't say? Let's talk about it... about the Geng family?"

Mu Sheng replied: "Some are, some are not."

He thought for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "In front of mother, my son said something from the bottom of his heart. Lord Jianwen has lost the world. Now that the general situation has been decided, the most important thing for son to do is to change his face and stop being with Jianwen. The people on your side come and go!

The son is not a heartless and ungrateful person.The late father and Crown Prince Yiwen are not real brothers, they are better than real brothers; the son and Jian Wenjun are also siblings... However, if the son is reluctant to let go, he does not think for himself, but he has to be close to the whole Mu family and the Mu family. Brother Wenwu plans! "

Geng's expression changed: "Cheng'er wants to hand them all over?"

Mu Sheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "My son doesn't dare! Let alone the assassination of Yu Shi Jingqing; if my son does too much, the Mu family's betrayal will be hated, and there will be more enemies..."

He pondered and said: "What's more, things in the world are not either east or west. The Mu family is far away in Yunnan and has guarded one side for the court for many years. As long as the Mu family does not openly oppose the court, they are people who can be wooed by the court. At this time, the son can Keep the reputation of the Mu family, and you can get more... I just hope that my son is not mistaken about Jinshang, Jinshang is indeed a man of great talent."

Hearing this, Geng's eyes gradually relaxed and dimmed, "The old man spends more time awake but less time awake, becoming more and more confused. Cheng'er has to make up his own mind on major matters."

Mu Sheng said: "Yes, the son obeys the mother's instruction."

Chapter 221 A Lively Birthday Banquet

Pieces of green rice fields are mosaiced into a large undulating field, dotted with peach, plum and cherry trees.A house with white walls and blue tiles in the depths of the scenery, surrounded by walls, is the Geng family's manor.

"Father, it's my aunt's birthday, why don't you invite us home?"

The question Geng Hao asked seemed extremely difficult to answer.His father, Geng Qi, pondered for a while, but didn't answer for a while.

Geng Hao's eyes were bloodshot, as if two balls of fire were burning in the eyeballs.He didn't just get so angry today, since he came back from the Liyuan last time, Geng Hao's whole body seemed to have thorns, no one dared to provoke him!

The man who paid twenty pennies for Geng Hao, and who rescued Mu Zhen in Liyuan, was actually Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

Geng Hao still knew a lot of things, and he didn't dare to criticize Zhu Gaoxu in front of outsiders, because that person is the current emperor's own son.However, he had a word that he dared to be angry but dare not say: This person is the enemy who killed his grandfather Chang Xinghou!

If grandpa was still alive, how could the Geng family have fallen to this point?

When Liyuan met an assassin that day, Zhu Gaoxu saved Mu Zhen's life with his bare hands; what Geng Hao couldn't let go of the most was that he escaped at that time...

Although Mu Zhen didn't blame him afterwards, she continued to comfort him: Cousin doesn't know martial arts, it's human nature to dodge weapons immediately; cousin is a scholar, why bother to compete with others for bravery?

But Geng Hao still felt very humiliated!When my cousin left the troupe, she turned her head several times. She said it nicely, but she was actually moved by Zhu Gaoxu, right?In comparison, Geng Hao was even more ashamed, and turned into annoyed.

... At this time, his father Geng Qi finally spoke: "Marquis Xiping has his own reasons for not sending invitations to our family. Haoer, leave this matter alone."

Just now Geng Hao remembered the matter of the Liyuan Assassin, and he was getting angry. Hearing this, he blurted out: "When my grandfather was here, when did the Geng family lose face like this?!"

"You..." Geng Qi blushed immediately, pointed at his son but was speechless.Geng Hao's mother quickly came over, supported Geng Qi, turned her head and said, "Hao Er, confess your mistake to your father!"

Geng Qi stomped his feet and said, "Nizi who has no rules and no rules, are you going to turn the world upside down?"

Geng Hao's anger still persisted, and he was not convinced at all. He simply expressed his previous resentment: "Song Sheng's two young masters used to be in the capital, and I was still as stubborn as friends with them; but now they all I'm going to marry a princess, let's see what I have? If I meet them again in the future, will I kneel down to them?"

His father was shaking with rage, and immediately went for a stick.

Unexpectedly, Geng Hao straightened his neck and said: "Father, hit me, it will save trouble if you kill me!"

His father raised the wooden stick, and was immediately hugged by his wife desperately. The wife cried, "If you teach him, teach him. How can I survive if there are accidents like this?"

His father heaved a long sigh, and finally let go of his hand, and the stick was taken away. He glared at Geng Hao and said, "He, Song Sheng, is a general in the Northwest, and the court is in need. Comparing? Don’t compare everything with others..."

Geng Hao muttered: "Father and mother are always compared with other sons?"

His father gritted his teeth and waved his hand, but was hugged by his wife again. He stared at Geng Hao with rounded eyes, and cursed: "You ungrateful and unfilial son! Who gave this manor; who doesn't want those fertile fields outside? Do you have to give it to our Geng family? What is wrong with the Mu family? If the old lady didn’t send invitations for her birthday, so what? You fucking..."

Geng Hao still straightened his neck and said: "My aunt's birthday, all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Yunnan will definitely go, it's a good time to find a way! Dad has been guarding those few crops all day long, and he doesn't think about it. First day?"

Madam Geng shouted hastily while crying: "Hao'er, go away quickly! Your father is angry, stop talking too much."

Only then did Geng Hao turn around and slip out of the main room.

He ran into his room, took out a box from the cabinet and opened it. Inside were more than a dozen small pearls of different sizes, which he bought from fishermen one after another.Geng Hao held it in his hand, thinking about making some kind of jewelry as a gift for his aunt.

The pearl is a bit small, but if he made it himself, the meaning would be different.

……

At the beginning of June, it was the birthday of Mrs. Mu's old lady, and the battle was even more lively than New Year's Eve.The nearby streets are almost impenetrable, and many local officials and chieftains set off from last month just to catch up with the banquet today.

Gongs and drums were beating inside and outside the Mu Mansion, crowds of people, and the screams of slaughtering pigs and sheep joined in the fun, and the noise was endless.

The front gate of the main entrance is the most congested, because the servants have to count the gifts and sing the list of gifts when registering and compiling. Many people are waiting in line.

Moreover, Hou Musheng of Xiping personally greeted the guests in front of the door. He was silently surrounded by a group of young and strong, and there were several officials beside him.If it's a less important person, the officials around Mu Sheng will greet him, and he just smiles and nods.If it was the king of Han, the chief envoy, the commander of the capital, and other important figures, Mu Sheng would have to pay respects and go up to say a few words of greeting.

Geng Hao hugged a wooden box and finally lined up to the door.

Mu Sheng found him, and Mu Sheng's face changed suddenly, the meaning of unwelcome was written all over his face!Geng Hao stepped forward and said: "The younger generation wishes my aunt a birthday."

Mu Sheng nodded without saying a word, then glanced sideways at an official beside him.The official came up in a hurry, grabbed Geng Hao's arm and said, "Young master, please."

"I brought some gifts..." Geng Hao said.

Guan'er said: "You don't need to be there, the young master will give it to the old lady himself in a while."

"Alright." Geng Hao nodded.

The two entered the inner hall one after another. Geng Hao thought he could see the old lady directly, but he was taken to a remote room!

"What do you mean?" Geng Hao asked, holding back the humiliation.
