The country is not as pretty as the beauty

The Hou Mansion, which is usually deserted, suddenly became lively today. The fire in the dining room was constantly on fire, and people were so busy up and down that they didn't know the meaning of it. Most of the dishes were cooked for viewing, and how many were eaten. In the belly?

"Haha, brother Su, you're here!" Just after entering the compound, Mu Shiji greeted Su Li with a smile on his face.

Yuguanhuafu, Shu embroidery, black python embroidered on the clothes.

Mu Shiji already looks like Pan'an, the handsome man recognized by the Su Dynasty 20 years ago, and with this formal attire, how can he not be a gentleman?

Su Li frowned, but still bowed respectfully and cupped his hands: "Master Hou!"

What a beast in clothes!It's not that Su Li didn't know what Mu Shiji did in Bingzhou for many years. It's a pity that he persecuted many innocent people in order to get this seat.

The sky is getting dark, the moon is on the brows, and the autumn wind in October is just right, neither hot nor cold, refreshing.

The Hou Mansion used to be desolate, and the fallen leaves all over the courtyard were not cleaned. For some reason, there were always very few women in the mansion.

"This is..." Mu Shiji glanced at Su Zhan, and was stunned for a while.

It's like seeing myself 20 years ago, no, Su Zhan is more beautiful.

"It's my eldest son!" Su Li replied holding back his dissatisfaction.

"Oh, brother Su is so lucky. I saw you today, you are really handsome!" Mu Shiji looked at Su Zhan for a long time, full of joy, which made Su Zhan very uncomfortable.

Su Zhan's facial features are as delicate as a woman's, and her skin is just right, a seven-foot man with a slender body.It's not surprising that Su Chao men are so feminine.

After a long time, Mu Shiji looked at Su Yunxin again, and skipped it with a hasty glance.

Mu Shiji didn't like Su Yunxin, at least he thought that a woman who behaved like this would lose her virtue.

"Little girl, Su Yunxin!"

"Brother Su, what a blessing, what a blessing, to have such a pair of children!" For many years, Mu Shiji had only one daughter, Mu Lingrou, and only one wife, the eldest princess. In the eyes of the world, he was a dedicated husband and a kind father.

"Where is the Hou Ye, the only daughter of the Hou Ye, Princess Rong An, is a peerless beauty, comparable to today's empress, and is loved by the Holy One!" Su Li's flattery is because he wanders in the mall, so naturally his mouth wants Terrific.

Mu Shiji smiled. He doesn't like flattery, but he always hears flattery.

"Come, come, sit, please open the ring and drink today, no need to be polite!" In the courtyard, the main road is paved with blue bricks, with grass on both sides, and some hibiscus are planted, and the October sky looks just right.Beside the blue brick floor are twelve stone desk lamps.

"Then thank you, Lord Hou!" Mu Shiji led them through the blue brick main road, and they entered the main hall without walls. It was an open layout, and the main seat could see the entire compound.There is a very empty and smooth celadon floor in the middle, which is for singing and dancing.

I have to say that Su Li is very good at being a person. Indeed, whether it is business or officialdom, he can always cover everything. Even if he doesn't want to, he still works hard to please everyone.

After drinking for three rounds, chatting about family affairs, but most of them were just Mu Shiji asking Su Li to answer, so it seemed that the relationship between the two families was really good, and they greeted each other with smiles. When it came to the end, Su Li understood what Mu Shiji meant up.

Mu Shiji took so much trouble to invite Su Li here today, it really wasn't for drinking, he wanted to get married.

"Master Hou..." Su Li stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have always left it up to them to make decisions about the children, and this marriage is up to them."

It was not easy for Su Li to refuse in person, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he made excuses like this.

"Yes, yes, yes, I know, I think the same way, so I won't force it." Mu Shiji still had a smiling face, because he was not in a hurry, and the children made their own decisions.

As the saying goes, a gentle lady is a gentleman, and Mu Shiji is very sure about his daughter's appearance.

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief. Marrying Princess Rong'an might have boarded a boat that directly reached his goal for the children of officials, which meant smooth sailing in the officialdom, but the last thing his Su family wanted was to set foot in the officialdom.

"Twisted melons are not sweet, and I don't want to force others to be difficult, but this kind of thing can be cultivated, so I will let Rou'er go to Changshun Mansion, and I will look after Brother Su when the time comes!"

Rou'er...Maybe only Mu Shiji called her that when Mu Lingrou was a child.

"This!" What Su Li didn't expect was that Mu Shiji's calculation was good. Who is Rong An?

Su Li smiled wryly in his heart, that was the emperor's younger sister, the Phoenix whom the queen mother regarded as her daughter, she was the number one woman in the Su dynasty, and Mu Shiji was really crazy to marry into the Su family like this.

Su Yuxin was drinking wine with Menghanyou, when he heard the word Rou'er, his heart skipped a beat for a long time...

She glanced at Meng Hanyou, and Meng Hanyou was very flustered, because what Mu Shiji said just now, that Mu Lingrou would live in Changshun Mansion, she had been uneasy when she came to the mansion, but she didn't see Mu Lingrou at the banquet , she felt better.

Su Yanxin noticed Meng Hanyou's abnormality... She began to feel uneasy about things that she didn't dare to think about. Su Zhan once told her that Meng Hanyou also recognized Mu Lingrou!

She just pretended not to know.

"If the princess comes here, I will definitely treat her well!" Su Li didn't express his displeasure as much as he felt in his heart.

"Oh, that's not necessary, I'll let her live with Lin Wenlong, but... If there's anything wrong with my little girl, my nephew can tell me!" Mu Shiji said to Su Zhan in a father-in-law tone.

What a nephew, Su Zhan was speechless.

The two elders were talking, and the younger generation listened, but was more nervous than the speaker.

Su Zhan was very distressed when he heard that Mu Shiji wanted to marry Mu Lingrou to him, and it seemed that he had identified this son-in-law.

However, Su Yunxin was always thinking about something in his heart, his eyes were lost, his body was already injured, and his complexion was not very good.

Meng Hanyou was the most flustered, one wrong step, one wrong step.

Su Li's submissive and hesitant attitude, everyone knew what he meant, and of course Mu Shiji knew it too.

"Brother Su, say something that doesn't make sense!"

"Master Hou, please tell me!"

"After the Su family is also a famous family, your father was able to enter Lingyan Pavilion again. However, people from both parties in the imperial court refused to let it go. The Su family is in a dilemma!" Mu Shiji looked at Su Li, and poked Su Li's knife. Naturally it was hard. "The little girl is favored by the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager. If she can marry into the Su family, it may not be possible that the Su family will have no way out. At least, she can save this life..."

What Mu Shiji said was very simple, that is, if Mu Lingrou married into the Su family, it would be a life-saving talisman for the Su family.

It can be preserved for a lifetime, and when the emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, the affairs of the Su family have already become a matter of rotten millet in the time of the ancestors.

What Mu Shiji said made Su Li feel a little moved. It's not a bad thing to marry Princess Rong'an.

Seeing Su Li's reaction, Mu Shiji smiled secretly. He is good at using people's hearts, capturing them, and controlling the situation.

"After chatting for so long, I also watched the wine and the dance, but brother Su has never seen the little girl, right?" Mu Lingrou was the finale, and Mu Shiji was always playing tricks.

"The beauty of the princess is something we cannot spy on!"

"This statement is wrong. Although my daughter has been crowned with a great reputation since she was a child, she is also a lonely person. If she hadn't heard that her nephew is coming, she would never come forward." He even praised Su Zhan.

"The little girl was taught by the court, and she is proficient in poetry, books, rites, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her dance is even better than the empress's empress!" Mu Shiji smiled and narrowed his eyes. He has never danced in the eyes of the world, this is what he knows.

Everyone in the world knows that the Su Dynasty has a deep research on music and dance, from the emperor to the common people, music is everywhere, and there are dances with the music, but who dares to compare the dancing posture of the current empress.

Inside the Dongdu Palace

Bai Muxue sneezed several times in a row, which made Tian Wuhen laugh all the time.

"You're still laughing!" She stretched out her index finger and pressed his head.

"What happened to you today?"

"How do I know, maybe someone misses me again!"

"So what if I miss you, who would dare to snatch you if you belong to me!"

"Yes, yes, the world is yours, no one else is allowed to touch it, okay?" There were a lot of things to do today, he didn't show up at the government hall all day, and she stayed with him all day.

Women in the harem are not allowed to engage in politics, this is the ancestor's precept, but Tian Wuhen never cared about these things, he would always ask the woman next to him about political matters, and she would always give him the answers he wanted.

"I don't want the world, I want you!"

It's too early to say this, doesn't he have everything in the world and people?

"Opening the exam, it seems that we really need to train a group of people in advance!"

"What do you want to do?"

"People, politics, law, and the world, within ten years, I will change all of them."

"Ten years... a long time, it's just a blink of an eye!"

"Maybe it won't take ten years... maybe..." His eyes dimmed again, maybe it might take 20 years, 30 years, or maybe it would be nothing.So he will not act rashly without full assurance.

"Don't you think, if it works, how about I start a women's department again?"

"Female department?"

"Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi all take women, tribute colleges, and rural apprentice students can be both male and female. In the future, Hongwen Hall and Chongwen Hall will also accept the daughters of first-rank noble ministers!" Tian Wuhen thought for a while: "Add another martial arts, Both men and women can participate!"

"Martial arts?"

"Since there are literary champions, why not martial arts champions, they all have their own strengths."

Bai Muxue understood as soon as he said this, but these things... are very far away, women's department means that women can enter the court as an official, and can enter the court hall.This is in the Su Dynasty, women are not allowed to enter the hall, let alone the court hall.There are six ministers and 24 ministers in the Su Dynasty palace. These are all female officials, but they can only manage the affairs of the inner court and cannot participate in state affairs.

"But have you forgotten the national system of the Su Dynasty?" She was reminding him that the Su Dynasty regards Taoism as the state religion, but Confucianism is still the main one.The emperor is ordered by the sky, if the emperor does something wrong, God will punish him, and the people will rise up.The Su Dynasty followed Liangzhou Town to govern the country, and the Tian clan's branch royal family was all eyeing Dongdu.

"This is also a problem!" The disadvantages of the feudal town are becoming more and more obvious. It's not like he doesn't know that although the monitoring of the ten channels has a supervisory effect, what Tian Wuhen did-it's very difficult!

"Princess, Master Hou sent someone to pass the message, you can go out, you must..."

"I know!" Mu Lingrou nodded slightly. She didn't like herself in front of the bronze mirror very much.

The attic leads to the promenade, then to the east courtyard, crosses the gravel road, enters the round arch and arrives at the courtyard.Mu Lingrou passed through those hibiscus coldly, and her beauty overshadowed those flowers. The autumn wind passed by, and she was covered with a very faint fragrance of clivia, which was very faint. Su Li, Su Zhan, and Mu Shi Jiji never heard of it.

But everyone knew that Mu Lingrou was here!

The faint orchid fragrance hit, Su Yunxin's hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air, and then the wine glass fell—clang—rolled from the low table to the ground.

Why is it so familiar... The fear and anxiety in my heart are becoming more and more obvious.

She shook her head in a daze, this fragrance was what she wanted to keep and hold tightly.Turning her head, Mu Lingrou had already arrived on the celadon floor in the middle of the courtyard with her veil on, and had already been covered with a red carpet. She was surrounded by everyone, but those people seemed insignificant around her.

No... It's a hallucination, a hallucination, Su De's hands, body... and even his breath are trembling.

Su put down his trembling hands, and didn't even feel that the table was wet, so his tear-filled eyes stared at Mu Lingrou softly.

Meng Hanyou sees all this, she has the same gaze as Su Yunxin, but more of it is hatred.

Why, why, you are indifferent after so many days of dedication, and you still refuse to look back at me, what is so good about this woman in front of you!

The guilt in Meng Hanyou's heart was gone long ago, what was left was only hatred, she hated everyone, hated Su Yunxin for disturbing her inexplicably, hated Mu Lingrou for getting everything she wanted without doing anything.

Wrapped in pale pink Shu embroidered Chinese dress, covered with white silk gauze, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone. Graceful and soft, three thousand blue silks are tied up with a headband, a hosta is inserted into the head, a strand of blue silk hangs on the chest, thinly applied with powder, which only adds to the color, a pair of ice blue bright eyes seem to see the world, and the bones reveal Arrogant, everything that matches her body embodies glamorousness.

Like a frightened bird, graceful like a swimming dragon, after the dance, even Su Li praised repeatedly, while Mu Lingrou went straight to Su Zhan.

What made Meng Hanyou a little relieved was that the one Mu Shiji wanted to marry Mu Lingrou to was Su Zhan, no, because Su Yunxin was a woman, so it could only be Su Zhan.

"It's a startling dance, and it's endless!" Su Zhan exclaimed frivolously. Mu Shiji's desire to get married is fixed, so the only thing Su Zhan thought of was to start with Mu Lingrou, making her feel that she was A prodigal son, disgusted with himself.

"My lord, I'm overwhelmed!" Mu Lingrou stepped forward and poured a glass of wine for Su Zhan, and drank it down in one gulp, three parts affectionate and seven parts ambiguous.

It's just that both of them are pretending, but even if they are pretending, there will be heartache.

It wasn't just Su Zhan who was toasting, there was another young man from the Su family who walked in front of Su Yunxin with small steps.Meng Hanyou was right next to her, she was a little annoyed and a little embarrassed, and she couldn't make excuses if she wanted to leave.

Su Yunxin kept staring at Mu Lingrou, raised his head, and only realized when she came over, so he slowly stood up from his seat, with a trembling voice: "You..."

When he got closer, Su Yun wanted to lift her veil.

"Bold, don't be rude to the princess!" The servant girl behind Mu Lingrou coaxed.

"Presumptuous! The Su family is an honored guest, how could they be so rude and retreat quickly!" Mu Shiji could see clearly from the seat, and sure enough, the fish bit the bait. It seems that the Su family's sons and daughters have all taken the bait. .

Su Na hung an inch away from Mu Lingrou's face... Then she put down her hand.

Still need to confirm?Those ice blue eyes, that kind of smell, Clivia... Wumeng Pavilion also has it.

Seeing that Su Yunxin didn't make a move, but the veil was still lifted...

The author has something to say: Mu Shiji is not a simple person!

Neither is Mu Lingrou!

In fact, I also want to do more updates, but I start school tomorrow. In order to maintain daily updates, more updates will be available after the military training is over.
