Chang'an Ferry

"Come on, help me up, I want to find a place to hang the wind chime!" Old Mrs. Jiang groped all over, then motioned to the nurse next to her to help her, and then walked slowly into the inner room "Look, I hang it up!" Where does it fit?"

"By the window!" The old woman said, looking around, "This shell wind chime is not very loud, and it sounds just right for me to fall asleep."

"Yes." Mrs. Jiang nodded, "Nurse, go and find a young child to come in and hang it up for me."

"Yes"

The maid hung it up quickly, Mrs. Jiang sat in front of the dressing table and looked at the wind chime, "This child is not in vain pain!"

"Yes!" Mammy nodded in agreement.

"Beautiful brother, I want it too," Jiang Yunling held Mu Yingying's hand and said with her head raised.

Mu Yanying bent down, "Of course, I asked Qingshu to send it to my yard, and they were all pierced. Linger chooses, and we will do it together"

"Okay!" Jiang Yunling jumped up happily, and then pulled Mu Yanying to run forward quickly.

Jiang Yang watched the two walk away with his hips crossed, and said to the boy next to him, "Did they forget something?" !"

Once in the yard, Mu Yanying took out the shells for Jiang Yunling to pick, and then asked Qingshu to send several finished shells to Jiang Mingfeng and Jiang Lichen's yard one by one.

"Ling'er, do you like it?" After confessing, he came over and saw Jiang Yunling lying on the table with his little head dangling.

Then he raised his head in embarrassment, "Beautiful brother, I like it so much! If I had known it earlier, I would have followed anyway." It was aggrieved.

"You can go in the future, choose quickly, and we will start to make it if you choose." Holding the sewing basket in front of him, he stretched out his hand and motioned Jiang Yunling to take one.

Jiang Yunling held her head, looked at a large basket of shells and fell into deep thought. It took a while to choose one and then it became more and more smooth. Suddenly, the whole basket of shells was strung together. Mu Yanying took the bamboo strips and bent them into a circle. "Let's see how Linger chooses!"

"But it's all gone!" Jiang Yunling looked at the basket with pouted lips, and Mu Yanying carefully wound the rope up, "I planned to give you all of them, so I can make a few more, but it seems that I can only make one at the moment."

"One is fine." Jiang Yunling clapped his hands, "I'll help" as he said, he helped pass the tools.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Mrs. Jiang's birthday banquet, and the gate of Jiang's Mansion opened early in the morning. The road in front of the gate was negotiated with the shop owner long in advance, and it was used for parking the carriages of today's guests.Jiang Lishen also came back a day early, and stood at the door with his wife Ke Qingmu to greet the guests early in the morning, Du Mengmeng greeted the mistresses in the interior, and Jiang Mingfeng and Jiang Yang greeted the heads of each family.

But Jiang Yang sneaked into Mu Yanying's yard halfway through the greeting, and Jiang Yunling was writing with him at that time, "It's still clean here, why didn't father call you!"

"Uncle knows that I don't like these excitements," Mu Yanying wrote earnestly.

"That's right." Jiang Yang looked at Mu Yanying's face, "It's really not good for you to show your face like this."

Mu Yanying picked up the bookmark and threw it over, Jiang Yang caught it, "Be careful, this is carved from lobular red sandalwood, if it breaks, it will be gone, and I didn't mean you are sorry, I just wanted to show You shouldn't be outside but should be like the quiet beauty now"

Mu Yanying ignored him and threw another bookmark over. Jiang Yang caught it in a hurry, held it carefully in his hand and shook his head repeatedly.

"Young Master Mu, Second Young Master, Mrs. Madam invites you to come over." A maid came over, and Jiang Yang put the bookmark in his hand on the table and straightened his clothes, "Mmm."

Mu Yuying also cleaned up the table, led Jiang Yunling to wash her hands, and then followed the maidservant.

Before I approached, I heard that the yard was very lively. Mrs. Jiang was smiling happily. When she saw Mu Yanying and Jiang Yang, Jiang Yunling waved her hands again and again, "You guys, what are you doing standing there, come here quickly."

"Zhi'er, is that child your little grandson?" Mrs. Jiang's boudoir name is Ning Zhi, and the old woman who asked the question was Mrs. Jiang's handkerchief.

"Yes! Are you handsome?" Mrs. Jiang looked cheerfully.

The old lady's name was Zhou Shu, with gray hair, she nodded after listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, "Jun! I don't know if we can get married? I have a daughter who is waiting to be married."

As soon as Mu Yanying arrived, she heard someone asking her about her marriage. She glanced at Jiang Yang who looked helpless, and only heard Mrs. Jiang say, "This is impossible! My child is still young!"

"It's not too young. I'm seventeen or eighteen years old. Now it's just right after I order a weak crown." Mrs. Zhou is satisfied from the bottom of her heart. If this marriage comes to fruition, she will wake up from her dream with laughter.

Mu Yuying awkwardly walked to Mrs. Jiang's side. Mrs. Jiang patted Mu Yuying's hand and continued, "It's not that I don't agree, you're going to ask General Mu."

As soon as General Mu was mentioned, Mrs. Zhou realized that the identity of this young master was not something she could grasp, and said apologetically, "It's just a joke, Zhi'er, you take it seriously."

"I don't think you are joking. If there is a girl of the right age in my family, I would like it very much." A woman in emerald green clothes teased.

"Don't make trouble here." Mrs. Zhou gave her a blank look, then looked at Mu Yanying and said, "My child, don't take it to your heart. By the way, you haven't introduced me yet. You can call me Grandma Zhou. My husband and I Bai is a good friend of your grandmother, and he likes to make some jokes on weekdays."

"No," he said, and bowed to the two of them.

The old lady Bai was surprised again, "Oh, I haven't prepared the meeting ceremony yet," she said, and took a jade pendant from her waist, "Come on, Yingying, right? This is the magic weapon I asked for in the temple to protect my health. I will give it to you"

"Take it! Your grandma Bai likes praying to gods and worshiping Buddha the most, and everything on her body is a magic weapon." Mrs. Jiang said angrily, but the expression on her face was not. It seemed that she was very satisfied with this gift.

"Thank you, Grandma Bai." Mu Yanying saluted, took it with both hands, and hung it on her waist in front of everyone.

Mrs. Zhou also took out a small thing from the small bag she carried with her, "I was only thinking about the old days before I went out, and I forgot to prepare the meeting ceremony. Here are the seals of my shops in the imperial city. Let's use it as a meeting gift."

"Grandma Zhou, I can't do this..." Mu Yanying shook her head because she didn't dare to accept this gift.

Mrs. Jiang said angrily, "Your gift is too heavy, I will make it up next time and prepare it with snacks" and motioned Mrs. Zhou to put it away by herself.

"What's the big deal? This is my private house, I'm free to deal with it however I want." After that, he stood up and walked over to put it in Mu Yingying's hands.

Mrs. Bai hurriedly helped, "Old Zhou! I heard that you have a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in your house. I think it is more suitable for Yanying."

Jiang Yang said in a low voice, "Millennium Ganoderma lucidum is the top grade for prolonging life, this is not bad"

Mrs. Zhou stomped her feet, "Yes, yes, I will send someone to bring it when I go back." Then she turned back and sat down, thinking to herself, this young master of the Mu family must be spoiled by the youngest son of the Mu family, let alone It would be wrong to say that the Ninth Five-Year Supreme is also very fond of it. These extraneous things may even stain people's eyes.

"Then you have to send it earlier, don't forget" Mrs. Jiang reminded.

Mrs. Zhou laughed loudly, "No, no."

"Mother, the guests are already seated." Du Mengmeng came in from the outside, and Mu Yanying hurriedly supported Mrs. Jiang.

"Okay, let's go to the front yard!" Mrs. Jiang stretched out her hand to hold Mrs. Zhou's hand. Seeing this, Mu Yanying quickly stepped aside, and Mrs. Bai also came over to hold the other side. Mrs. Jiang stood in the middle and "Zhi Son, let's go!"

"Grandmother and the two grandmas have such a good relationship!" Mu Yanying watched the three of them being intimate together.

Jiang Yang took Jiang Yunling by the hand and said, "That's right! After my grandmother married my grandfather, she was always excluded because of her Hu blood. It was the two grandmothers who extended their hands to help."

"I see"

……

Because Mrs. Jiang's birthday is at the end of June, when it is extremely hot, the Jiang family opened a yard in the early years, introduced running water, and then placed ice cubes between the rocks in advance, and the cold air of the ice cubes turned into smoke, So the yard is also cool and tight.And these people who came to the birthday banquet were no strangers to it.

"Uncle is really generous." Mu Yanying rubbed her arms as soon as she came in, but fortunately Jiang Mingfeng said it in advance, Qing Shu quickly tied the cloak on Mu Yanying.

As soon as Jiang Yang came in, he let out a long breath, "It's just like this today! It's a pity that I can't sleep here for a long time." It seemed quite regrettable.

Although the folk customs are open, men will always drink some wine when they get together, so the tables are also separated.

As soon as he got closer, Mu Yuying saw Lan Ruoruo, but the latter glanced at him and quickly lowered his head. Mu Yuying nodded to Lan Ruoyan and sat down without much thought.

"Thank you for coming to my mother's birthday banquet today, I am here to thank you all." Jiang Mingfeng held up his wine glass and toasted.

Everyone present raised their wine glasses in return, "President Jiang, you are welcome!"

Jiang Mingfeng put down his wine glass, and the maid came in with delicacies like flowing water.

As the host, Jiang Mingfeng naturally wants to take his wife and children to toast with the guests, and Mu Yanying, as a grandson, will naturally go too. don't drink.

"It's white water, don't worry drink it," Jiang Lichen came over and said in a low voice.Mu Yanying raised her head and nodded gratefully, Qing Shu immediately stood up, "My lord, I'll pour you wine" and made a face.

In this way, Mu Yanying followed Jiang Mingfeng and the others to toast with peace of mind, and naturally received a lot of compliments along the way.

"Yuying, it's a good thing I didn't go to the female guests, otherwise..." Jiang Yang winked and signaled Mu Yingying to guess.

"No, otherwise, I didn't go" and then sat down at the table, slightly covering his stomach with his hand, drinking too much water, so supportive!

"Yingying, are you tired! Hurry up and move your chopsticks," Mrs. Jiang greeted.

Mu Yanying nodded, picked up the chopsticks and ate a little bit, then frowned, motioned Jiang Yang to turn his head and said a few words, "Grandmother, two grandmas, uncle, I have something to do, I'll be right back."

"But it's uncomfortable?" Mrs. Jiang felt that Mu Yanying's complexion was not good at first, so she asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Mu Yanying shook her head

"Yes! Don't worry, grandma!" Jiang Lishen roughly guessed it, and helped Mu Yanying to say that Mu Yingying left the stage with permission, and returned to the yard in a hurry.

"My lord, are you tired?" Qing Shu knelt down and hammered Mu Yanying's leg, after all, it was rare for Mu Yingying to walk for so long today.

Mu Yanying waved her hand, "I'm fine, I just pretended to be full of water"

"My lord, there is a girl surnamed Lan who wants to see you outside," the maid came in and said.

The girl surnamed Lan must be Lan Ruoruo, and when Mu Yanying got up and walked out, it was indeed Lan Ruoruo.

Although "Miss Lan" Mu Yanying passed by, she still kept her distance. Lan Ruoruo felt even more depressed when she saw it, "Mu Ying, do you really not have me at all in your heart?"

"Miss Lan is pretty good," Mu Yanying said seriously.

Lan Ruoruo smiled slightly, "What's the use of being nice!" Then she took a deep breath, "I'm going to join the army. The Women's Army formed by your sister-in-law is the place I've always dreamed of, and I'm going to realize my dream."

Lan Ruoruo's bold words made Mu Yanying feel ashamed, "Then I won't stop you, but no matter what, you have to take care of yourself."

"Don't worry! I can take care of myself, I'm leaving tomorrow," Lan Ruoruo said with a smile.

"So fast?" Mu Yanying looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, "It's such a hot day, you go out"

"Don't worry, my brother arranged for someone to come with me, so I'll leave first, I haven't packed up and saluted yet." Lan Ruoruo blessed her body, turned and left.

Mu Yanying quietly watched Lan Ruoruo's back, and gradually disappeared.

"If you regret it, hurry up and chase after him." Jiang Yang didn't know when he came.

Mu Yanying shook her head, "I don't regret it, I'm not suitable for her"

"Not suitable, why don't you know it's not suitable?" Jiang Yang had an inspiration, "Could it be that you have someone you like?" His face was curious.

Mu Yanying rolled his eyes at him, "No!"
