One of the Red Buildings: Three Thousand Miles

Xuanxuan thought about it, but still didn't dare to ask Mrs. Shi again.She knew very well that if Madam Shi didn't want to tell her, Madam Shi wouldn't even look at her even if she was rolling on the floor as a child.Therefore, Xuanxuan could only think of another way.

But it's not Xuanxuan's current temper to stop here.If she was still at the border, Xuanxuan would definitely be happy to be confused, but today's Xuanxuan is no longer Wuxia Amon, what she wants to know, there may not be only one way to follow.

After dinner, Xuanxuan took Xu'er to the front yard to look for Hou Xuan.

Hou Xuan was recently transferred to serve in the Imperial Academy. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor still loves Hou Xuan very much, or in other words, he loves Princess Mulan even more.When Hou Xuan entered the Hanlin Academy, he was in charge of sorting out the documents, and by the way, he also copied the memorials of various local officials for the emperor.It is said to be a copy, but there are many things that can be seen, and there are many things to know, and it is directly managed by the emperor, and the official title is not high, but after all, it represents the hands and eyes of the emperor. The No. [-] scholar, Hou Xuan can be regarded as the most sacred family.

Hou Xuan also knew about Xuanxuan's entry into the palace today, and was slightly surprised to see Xuanxuan coming over, "After a busy day, you still want to run to my place? You really have leisure time."

Xuanxuan curled her lips, "I came to see my brother with good intentions, but my brother said such a thing, is Yumei really sad?" After speaking, she made a gesture to leave.

Xu Er looked at the interaction between the siblings with a smile on the side, pushed Fen Xia, the eldest maid in Hou Xuan's room, out of the room, closed the door, and waited outside.

Xuanxuan looked thoughtfully at Fenxia, ​​who was reluctant to go out, and sighed in her heart, none of them were the ones who made people worry.It turned out that she was of average birth, but she had a delicate mind and was good at taking care of others. On the day when Hou Xuan was preparing for the exam, Fen Xia also worked hard and served her wholeheartedly.It's just that I didn't expect that such an honest-looking person would still have another thought in his heart.

"How did I hear that you came to the palace, the queen mother loves you very much, did you figure out something else, and you don't want to worry your mother?" Hou Xuan asked with concern.

Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue, "Just looking at the face of my future sister-in-law, no matter how much the palace doesn't like me, I won't deliberately make things difficult. I'm here now to talk to my brother about another matter."

Xuanxuan was not shy, and directly told Hou Xuan all the confusion in her heart.The empress dowager's special care, Situ Da Shuzi's strange gaze, Xuanxuan used a flat and straightforward tone, as if she was telling someone else's story.

Hou Xuan listened carefully, but the more he listened, the more he frowned. He already understood Xuanxuan's reason for coming.

"... Don't be shy, brother, my sister always feels that my mother is hiding something about this matter, but as for why she is hiding it, what is it hiding. My sister really wants to know, maybe after entering Beijing, she has a big heart. My sister doesn't want to go back to the old muddle-headed days." Xuanxuan stared at Hou Xuan, her eyes full of hope.

Hou Xuan nodded, pondered for a moment, "Since you have asked me about this matter, I will inquire about it for you. After all, it is a major event in your life. If it doesn't work, just wait until I marry your sister-in-law and come in. Ask your sister-in-law directly, it will only take a few months, and I will give you an answer."

Xuanxuan thanked Hou Xuan, chatted a few more words, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of Fenxia's expression just now, she paused slightly, raised her head and said to Hou Xuan seriously, "Brother, I have also been in contact with my future sister-in-law, it is a good one. Miss. Yes, there may be some smells of not knowing the sufferings of the world, but my brother should be considerate of the life of the family since childhood. Moreover, speaking of the character of the princess, although the younger sister has only a short contact with her, she is honest in her heart. She has a very good temper, and I can still feel it. So, I hope that my brother will not forget my sister's persuasion. Many times, once a husband and wife are married, the princess who was beautiful before marriage will be just a housewife who depends on her brother in the future. .”

Without waiting for Hou Xuan to reply, Xuanxuan left.After going out, he even took a special look at Fenxia, ​​and saw that she entered the room eagerly, and didn't even have time to say goodbye to Xuanxuan.

Next, in recent years, Xuanxuan followed Princess Mulan into the palace several times, and also went there two or three times after the year, just to have fun.It's just that I haven't seen anyone from Situ's family again, as if those two people really just entered the palace by chance to accompany the second prince to visit the queen mother.

After the beginning of spring, Mulan County mainly prepares for marriage at home, and can no longer walk around at will, and Xuanxuan is finally freed from walking around with the princess.After a daze, seeing Xu'er cleaning up the house, finding out the green gauze and thin clothes, and opening the box to put away the thick clothes, Xuanxuan suddenly realized that last year has really passed by for a long time.

"Girl, Sister Mu Ge in Madam's room came to you and said that Madam is here to invite you." Qing Geer came in with an account book and replied.In the past six months, Xuanxuan gradually began to teach Qing Geer to follow the account books, and she was likely to be promoted to be the housekeeper's wife in the future.

Xuanxuan was taken aback for a moment, then got up quickly, and hurried to Mrs. Shi's place. Mrs. Shi's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Two days ago, she asked the Xian Wang Mansion for help and invited an imperial doctor in the palace to talk to the harem ladies. I read it, and it was said that I was pregnant with twins, because the children were growing well, and my wife was getting older at the time, so I'm afraid they might have been born prematurely.Therefore, Xuanxuan paid special attention to the information from Mrs. Shi.

Muge accompanied Xuanxuan to the top, and told Xuanxuan on the way that Mrs. Shi had nothing to do with it, but a nanny came to Xianwang's mansion today and sent a list. Mrs. Shi wanted Xuanxuan to go over and watch with her.

Xuanxuan was relieved at first, and then smiled again. Princess Mulan's family is prominent, and she is a royal daughter. This dowry list is probably eye-opening, otherwise, Mrs. Shi would not have given her up immediately. Calling, this rash, is not like Mrs. Shi's usual style.

When I arrived at Mrs. Shi's place, I didn't expect that the nanny sent by Princess Xian hadn't returned yet, and was chatting with Mrs. Shi.It's nothing more than saying something nice, and by the way, praise Princess Mulan more.Muge whispered in Xuanxuan's ear, "There are four nuns inside, all of whom are respectable mothers in the palace. The one who is talking is the most powerful person around Princess Xian, Mama Zhang. I heard that her man is also in front of the prince. The red man is an old man in the old palace, and his mother is the nanny of the prince."

With such an introduction from Muge, Xuanxuan knew it well. It seemed that the Wangfu still respected the Shi family by sending such a nanny here.It shows that the emphasis on the Shi family is not neglected because of the marriage of the Princess of the Palace.

Xuanxuan nodded to Mu Ge, and Mu Ge went in with a smile and said that the second lady was here.Xuanxuan just entered the room, the four nuns didn't care too much, when they saw Xuanxuan coming in, they all stood up and greeted Xuanxuan.Xuanxuan hurriedly moved away, and returned a half-respect to the four nuns, and said politely, "Xuanxuan is young, how can she bear the courtesy from all mothers, please sit down, all mothers."

Ms. Zhang's eyebrows and eyes were all in one place, and she happily praised Xuanxuan to Mrs. Shi, "Second Miss is really good. Looking around the capital, it's really rare to see a family lady who is as knowledgeable as Second Miss, who is not surprised by honor and favor." What's rare is that I learned how to take care of the house early on, and I can share my wife's worries inside, and I can advance and retreat in a decent manner outside. Even our princess is full of praise when she mentions the second young lady at home, giving her a thumbs up."

Knowing that Mama Zhang praised Xuanxuan partly because of Princess Mulan's face, but Mrs. Shi was still very happy to accept it, and said to Mama Zhang with a smile, "There are still many places for children to do it. If you can’t get it, how can you resist such praise.”

Taking advantage of the gap between the two sides' politeness, Xuanxuan slowly moved to Mrs. Shi's side, and unexpectedly met Mo Xuan's indifferent eyes.Xuanxuan couldn't help but tighten her heart. Ever since his wife had a showdown with Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan had been silent for a long time, and there were rumors at home that Mo Xuan returned to the yard to lose his temper, just because he was too busy on weekdays , Xuanxuan didn't have time to rectify, but seeing Xuanxuan today, suddenly felt that Mo Xuan didn't seem to be displeased, but there was a faint complacency between his brows.

Xuanxuan was too familiar with this kind of complacency. When Mo Xuan bullied Xuanxuan in previous years, he would show this expression every time.

Mo Xuan smiled faintly at Xuan Xuan, as a greeting.But with that smile, Xuanxuan who laughed was even more disturbed, the extreme abnormality must be a demon, this Mo Xuan will not come up with any other moths.

But Xuanxuan's heart skipped a beat when she came in to do things at home, and felt that even if Mo Xuan wanted to make a fool of herself, she would not be able to. With the people from the Xianwang's mansion right in front of her eyes, Xuanxuan hurriedly put aside her distracting thoughts and chatted with the four mothers with Mrs. Shi .After talking for a while, Xuanxuan asked the four mothers to say hello to Princess Mulan, and Madam Zhang sent the four mothers away.

"Huhu~ This big family is different. I thought that the palace had already seen a lot of people. I didn't expect that all the mothers and nuns in the palace are not simple. I don't know about the past. I'm convinced, there seem to be more than a dozen meanings in these words, you can still hear every one of them." Xuanxuan smiled and patted Mrs. Shi's flattery.

Mrs. Shi was very pleased with what she heard, and without hiding it from Mo Xuan, she handed the list at the table to Xuanxuan, "You two sisters also have a look, it's right to gain insight."

Xuanxuan took the list and read it together with Mo Xuan. There were a lot of things on the gift list, among which the treasure at the bottom of the box was a ten-foot-long red coral bonsai.It seems that it was rewarded by the emperor and used as the bottom of the princess's box.As for other things, the more Xuanxuan looked down, the more speechless she became. This is not marrying a daughter, it is simply giving the Shi family a gift of gold and silver, and it is the kind of cash cow that can make money.

"This, is it too much? I'm afraid marrying a princess doesn't have such courtesy." There are too many things, and Xuanxuan's first reaction is whether it will bring unnecessary trouble to the Shi family.

After hearing this, Mo Xuan didn't take it seriously, "There's nothing wrong with having too many things. This shows that the future sister-in-law will be greatly favored by the emperor, and my brother will not be offended when he goes out in the future."

Mrs. Shi was in a good mood, and after listening to the words of the two young daughters, she smiled and said, "Think of those things as being able to move at will, and those gifts from the Supreme Master must be recorded properly, and they must not tremble at all except for the necessary time. In this list, the most important things are the ten shops in the middle of the capital and the six Zhuangzi outside the city. It seems that this virtuous king really loves Princess Mulan, and the first things on this list are all dead things. It doesn't sound good, what's the use of being nice? A family like us, with the status of your sister-in-law, can you still sell things? Only the latter things, your brother and your sister-in-law, are ours. Fukudo."
