Chang'an Ferry

Today's vacation, when Mu Yanying got up, she saw a letter from Eunuch Cao, "Father and mother are coming back for the New Year!"

"Yes! This meeting should be halfway," Eunuch Cao said.

Mu Yuying packed the letter and put it in the box, "Go to my aunt first to say hello." Since ancient times, men and women have different seats at the age of seven. It is very close, Changchun Pavilion is only a few steps away from Ziji Palace and Changning Palace, where the emperor and empress lived.

When the emperor arrived, the emperor had just come down, and the queen personally set the table and chopsticks, "An'an is here, it's time to eat."

"Yes" Mu Yanying stepped forward to help serve the porridge, "Uncle, please"

The emperor took it, "An'an, hurry up and eat, then go to Changting"

Changting?Mu Yanying was taken aback, "Father and the others are back? Aren't they just halfway there?"

"The letter is sent out as soon as they leave." The emperor thought for a while, "Your father also has a lot of tricks, and he doesn't know how to send a letter in advance."

"Brother, they must also want to An'an, so they rushed like this." The queen moved the plate towards Mu Yanying to signal him to eat more.

After eating, Mu Yuying refused the carriage prepared by the palace people and went out leading the horse. This horse was a pony that Mu Zhan brought back from the northwest four years ago. The speed on the road was very slow, and Mu Yanying didn't know how to deal with it. No matter how much she left herself in the imperial city for a few years, she complained a little, but no matter how slow she was, she arrived at the place.

He dismounted and led the horse to the side, but his good-looking appearance also attracted the attention of passers-by. Mu Yanying was also used to other people's eyes. Asked Mu Yanying to wear a mask, why, because when Mu Yingying went out, some girls surrounded her because she was too good-looking. At the beginning, Lin Chen thought that he could sell more things, but later found that these people came to see people. I am also ashamed to ask Mu Yanying to sell things, what is this!It was better to get a mask for him.

It's just that there are so many people watching, Mu Yanying still can't stand it, Li Shengye who is following behind hastily opened the umbrella to block it, "Aye, why are you here?"

"I don't think you brought the green book with you. You are afraid of something!" Li Shengye's words made Mu Yanying feel a little scared. She remembered that when she went out two years ago, because she was too good-looking and because she was young, the traffickers thought she was a girl. It wasn't that Li Shengye reacted quickly, otherwise he didn't know where he was sold. Later, Mu Zhan specially sent Qingshu, the little beggar who was brought back by Mu Yuying many years ago, back to Mu Yingying as a follower, and the emperor made a drastic move After tidying up this underground transaction, many cancers were uncovered, so that the number of cases of inexplicable disappearances has decreased a lot in recent years.

"Actually, my uncle sent secret guards to follow me." Mu Yingying said, and stretched out her hand to press down the umbrella to completely block her figure, "I asked Qingshu to go back first."

Li Shengye frowned, he had always disliked Qingshu, and he was even more dissatisfied that he didn't follow the master well, "An An, you are too used to these people."

Mu Yanying quickly explained, "I didn't let him follow." Mu Yanying pursed her lips, "Also, don't call me An An, I..."

"Yes, Ah Ying," Li Shengye continued, "You are too old to be called by your baby name!" Li Shengye said solemnly.

Mu Yuying turned her head and didn't look at Li Shengye. The latter found a good place to sit down without affecting Mu Yuying's umbrella, "Aye, aren't you going to Gyeonggi Camp today?"

Li Shengye is eighteen this year. He left the palace at the age of 16 to build a mansion. Now he is a soldier in the Gyeonggi camp, while the other princes have taken official positions because they are older, and they are allowed to participate in politics after they are weak.

"You forgot, I'm on vacation today." Li Shengye squinted his eyes, the sun is so dazzling today, it's already autumn.

The two waited for more than half an hour and finally saw a carriage appearing on the official road, followed by several guards on horseback. Although the carriage also brought guards, this group of people looked like they were coming from the battlefield. Family guard, father and mother are back."

Mu Yanying saw familiar faces, and her father followed them every time she went back to Beijing, Mu Yingying quickly got on the horse, "Aye, I'll go first."

"Call..." The Mu family's guards reined in their horses and turned back when they saw Mu Yanying from a distance, "General, madam, the young master is here to pick you up."

"An'an..." Jiang Ning opened the curtains, and saw the young man in Tsing Yi driving a horse, tears streaming down his face. Mu Yanying stopped at some distance, thinking that she wanted to blame her mother for leaving herself alone. I have been in the imperial city for several years, but I can't blame it when I really want to meet, "An'an"

Jiang Ning waved to Mu Yanying, and Mu Yingying hurriedly rode over, "Mother!"

"Give the horse to them, and you get on the carriage." Mu Zhan said on the side, Mu Yanying nodded, handed the horse to the guards and got on the carriage, as soon as Jiang Ning entered, he rushed over and hugged Mu Yingying, "My child, it is mother who is sorry for you"

"Don't cry anymore, Ah Ning, you don't know how to cry, so you think what about An An?" Mu Zhan has seen what women are made of water these days. Jiang Ning only needs to think of the way mother and son meet each other along the way. I couldn't help crying, no matter how much I persuaded myself, I couldn't persuade myself.

"What nonsense are you talking about! An'an is fine!" Jiang Ning glared at Mu Zhan, who yelled that he was wronged, I was just figuring it out!

Jiang Ning let go of his hands and looked at Mu Yingying carefully. The 14-year-old child is almost as tall as himself. His skin is not as sickly white as when he was young, but rosy and pink. The whole person is pink and tender like a little girl. , and then said the same thing in her mouth, Mu Yanying couldn't help turning her head, a little annoyed, "I'm not a pink and tender girl"

Mu Yanying will be as sad as Mu Dingyang at the beginning. The two brothers and the friends around her are not so white. They have a very masculine complexion. Yanying doesn't want to be so white at all, thinking of being treated as a girl by others as soon as she goes out, she feels a little wronged.

Jiang Ning and Mu Zhan looked at each other before they knew they had said the wrong thing. The emperor and empress often shared with them Mu Yingying's growth experience, the most embarrassing thing about being treated as a girl when she went out

"It's nothing, it will be fine when you get older!" Mu Zhan comforted.

"Yeah! Besides, mother has always thought that your two elder brothers are as dark as carbon like your father, only An An is like mother, fair and white." Jiang Ning is the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and the children born after marrying Mu Zhan are not white , and has always had a heart knot, which was not opened until Mu Yanying was born, and finally there is someone like me.

Mu Zhan listened, and quietly drew out his dagger to cast a shadow on it. Actually, I'm not very dark either!

Both of them couldn't help laughing at this amused move, and the estrangement that hadn't been seen for a long time dissipated immediately.

"By the way, mother, you are back, what about the two nephews and nieces?" Mu Yanying was a little curious thinking about the two nephews who had never met.

Speaking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but have a headache, "Your two nephews are really two demon kings, the whole Yanxi City was turned upside down by them, just because they were afraid of your big brother, so they took them to the barracks."

"Going to the military camp at such a young age?" Mu Yanying was a little surprised.

Mu Zhan replied on the sidelines, "It's a military camp specially built for children who are half-grown. After all, the Northwest will face the invasion and abuse of barbarians at any time, so we have experienced them since childhood."

Mu Zhan's words made Mu Yanying feel a little hot, thinking that she had never traveled far, and the children on the border were already preparing to resist foreign enemies.

Mu Zhan couldn't see what Mu Yanying was thinking, "It's because you were in poor health when you were young, otherwise I would throw you in too." After a pause, "Actually, Daddy thinks that as long as you grow up safely, it's the best thing."

Mu Yanying's eyes were slightly astringent when she heard this, and she couldn't help but stepped forward to hug Mu Zhan's arm.

"You're so big, you're acting like a baby." Mu Zhan patted Mu Yanying's shoulder.

This time Mu Zhan came back just after autumn, one is to send Jiang Ning back, and the other is the emperor’s [-]th birthday. This is the emperor’s first birthday banquet in more than ten years since he ascended the throne, so Mu Zhan also came back specially to celebrate his birthday .

When passing by Changting Pavilion, Mu Yanying opened the curtain but found that Li Shengye had disappeared, "Did you leave so soon?"

"Aying, what did you say?" Under Mu Yanying's strong request, Jiang Ning stopped calling him by his baby name.

"I didn't say anything." Mu Yanying withdrew her hand.

Mu Feng opened the gate early, waited outside and finally saw Mu Zhan's carriage running over excitedly, "The general is back!" He beckoned the servants to set up the stools, Mu Zhan helped Jiang Ning down, "Madam, third son"

Mu Feng was very happy. Usually, there was no master coming in and out of this mansion, and the door was always closed. Now it's all over, and finally came back.

"Old Mu! Don't be so excited" Mu Zhan saw that Mu Feng's face was flushed, and he was afraid that he would faint.

"It's been a long time since I saw you come back! The eldest young master has been stationed in the northwest all year round, and the wife has been in the northwest for many years. The general comes back once a year. The second young master is now an official and has no time to come back. It's rare for the young master to come back when he lives in the palace. Happy!" Mu Feng felt that the door was going to rust if it wasn't opened, and Mu Zhan patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll live at home from now on!"

Mu Yuying is already 14 years old, and if she lives in the palace, the emperor's desk will not be able to pile up all the memorials, and Jiang Ning does not plan to go to the northwest again. After all, Mu Dingyang is not young, and Jiang Ning is going to find him Future daughter-in-law.

There are still more than ten days until the emperor's birthday, and the imperial city is also bustling, no less than during the Chinese New Year. Mu Yanying accompanied her parents to dinner and then went to Lin Chen's house. When she arrived, Lin Chen was squatting on the bed to settle accounts , with a sad face

"Are you still thinking about it?" Mu Yanying saw that she didn't have a place to sit. Lin Yuanzhi wasn't around these days, and Lin Chen's room was extremely messy, so she tidied up a place and sat down.

Lin Chen once lost a bet with Mu Yanying and Li Shengye to invite Wangyue Tower, but Lin Chen lost in a mess. Fortunately, neither of them insisted on making him fulfill his promise, but Lin Chen was unwilling and wanted to make money to treat guests, so the two In the past few years, as soon as I finished school, I went to the streets to sell things, but I still haven't earned enough money for a table at Wangyuelou. "Actually, you can order a pot of white water at Wangyuelou!"

Lin Chen was even more saddened to hear Mu Yanying say this, "Actually, it's not that I haven't earned enough money for a table. It's okay to be a vegetarian, but..." Lin Chen scratched his head, "I told you before that I want to do business , so I’m going to make some more money.”

"Oh." Pointing to the mess on the ground, he asked, "Then what are you doing with these waste papers?"

"I'm thinking about doing business!" Lin Chen smiled with a guilty conscience.

"Mr. Ji isn't showing you a lot of books on these topics, don't you have any plans?"

"Doing business, how can it be the same as in the book, you have to go through practice." Lin Chen put his arms around Mu Yingying, "You have to go out and make a living to gain experience."

"Are you going out?"

"Hush" Lin Chen covered Mu Yingying's mouth, looked around, and made sure no one else heard him, "Keep your voice down, Ah Ying, you have to support me, I have already planned to go to the caravan to accumulate experience and contacts, and then build your own caravan, what do you think?"

"I don't think so?" Mu Yanying shook her head, "I think your father will beat you to death!"

"Oh! Are you still a good brother! Ah Ying, you have to support me" Lin Chen rolled over.

"In case you die outside, isn't your father going to hate me to death!"

"Aying, please help!"

"Would you like me to help?" Lin Yuanzhi pushed open the door, holding a feather duster in one hand, Zhang Xian smiled embarrassedly at Lin Chen and turned to leave.

"Mother" Lin Chen hid behind Mu Yuying, "Aying save me"

"If you want to run away from home, even the Heavenly King and I can't save you." Lin Yuanzhi's body was in great shape, and the feather duster danced vigorously. When Lin Chen saw his father coming, he really quickly let go of Mu Yingying and ran out.

When the people went out, Mu Yanying reached out and picked up Lin Chen's plan and looked at it carefully, uh, I don't understand!Mu Yuying took out the letter from her sleeve. It was a business plan specially asked for advice from her uncle, hoping it would be useful to Lin Chen. Then Lin Chen, who was beaten miserably, stuffed the letter under the pillow and left.
