Linque

The matter between Ah Yue and the emperor was kept a secret from the outside world. Mu Xiyun didn't know where the Lin family heard the news, but the insinuations were all there for the sake of it, so he almost pointed his nose and called their Dongjun "a lucky man". Mu Xiyun didn't bother to be polite to her anymore: "Madam Lin asked me?

There was a slight smile on her lips: "Although I have never studied the "Pingdi Shijian", I have read it several times. There is no such person as Mei Shizi in the court history and palace history. Since I have nothing to rely on, I will It’s not good to talk about people’s life and death.”

Lin opened her mouth when she heard the words, and was about to refute, but Mu Xiyun didn't give her the chance to speak, and then said: "But I know another one, and I think all the wives know it too."

"In the past, the youngest son of Emperor Taizu and Empress Zhaoyi, Prince Mincheng, didn't he just let the noble daughter of the family not marry, and insisted on presenting peony to Duanwu Xianghou Cailan? The matter of the two people was widely discussed among the people, and in the end Hand in hand, we went to the Empress, tried our best to overcome all opinions, and got approval."

"You don't need to talk about Duanhou. You can tell the word 'Wuxiang' at a glance; Prince Min's posthumous title is 'Cheng'. I didn't deny the virtues and merits of the two because they loved each other as a man, on the contrary, this matter was written in the history of the country, and it has been passed down to this day, and it has become a good story of a long-term relationship."

The wives present were from rich families, and naturally they all had studied national history. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone became interested and started discussing in a hurry.

Lin's original intention was to test whether Mu Xiyun knew about Chu Heng's affairs, but she didn't want to be mistaken. Not only did Mrs. Mu know this clearly, she was not ashamed, and she even took it for granted.

She was angry, and it was not easy to get angry in front of everyone, she sneered, and said: "Mrs. Mu's example is probably inappropriate. What kind of person is Duanwu Xianghou, with little prestige, Hulian's weapon, Mei's son How can a sycophant compare with it?"

Her voice was tinged with anger, and everyone present didn't know what was going on, and were confused for a moment, looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Rarely famous?" Mu Xiyun repeated these four words slowly, and smiled slightly, "Although Duanhou has great abilities, when he was 17 years old, he was actually just a young man from a talented and famous family. That’s all, it’s still far from majestic Kyushu.”

Duanhou is the "Princess Minqin" who has been awarded the royal imperial ultimatum. When future generations comment on the merits of the predecessors, it is inevitable that they will embellish one or two. Lin is puzzled what Mu Xiyun meant by this, but the latter only mentioned it, and then He said: "However, what Mrs. Lin said is not false."

She seemed to be interested in calming things down, and the wives of the aristocratic families who were sitting with her saw this and tried to smooth things over, and changed the subject of other things. Lin was unhappy, but she couldn't argue further.At noon, a few people said a few words, and soon a maid serving in the village came to invite them to the banquet.

The words were not speculative, and Mu Xiyun didn't go with Lin and the others anymore. He called a maid to find Chu Xin, and sat for a while before going forward.

However, as soon as he turned around the corridor, he saw Mrs. Lin standing in front of her, obviously waiting for her specially, and Shen Dai was beside her.

Mu Xiyun didn't dodge any more, stepped forward and nodded, "Mrs. Lin."

"Mrs. Mu," Mrs. Lin returned the salute, "This is the little girl Shen Dai." The latter stepped forward to bless her.

Mu Xiyun nodded slightly with a calm expression: "I know, I've seen it just now."

"No." Lin said with a smile, "Mrs. Mu doesn't know, so I'll explain it to you again. Before the late emperor passed away, he left an oral order stating that Gu Rouze, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and Shen Dai, the youngest daughter, will be the concubines. Bless the saints to prosper the clan."

Because there is no clear decree, this matter is only passed down among some aristocratic families in the imperial capital.Mu Xiyun has been in Lishan for a long time, so naturally he has never inquired about these things. Hearing this, he immediately understood why the Lin family targeted Chu Heng.

She thought about it, and quickly went over the matter, her face unchanged, and said in a flat voice: "It's the first time I've heard what Mrs. Lin said, but I know another thing. Since Qiuyue last year, I have been discussing relatives and seeing each other, and today I have promised a marriage gift, Madam Lin has heard of it too, right?" The implication is that the words of the former emperor cannot be counted.

Mrs. Lin shook her head, and said with a smile: "The young lady is different from the eldest lady of the Gu family. Now that the crown prince is established, I don't need to say more about the tricks inside. Mrs. Mu will know it as soon as she thinks about it."①

"Our Mansion of Marquis Wenxin doesn't have the guts to make fun of the late emperor's edict. Madam Mu, I came here to wait for you because I wanted to open the skylight and say something bright to you. I think you already know that your beloved apprentice Chu Heng and His Majesty... ...cough," Lin coughed, looked at Mu Xiyun, and said sincerely: "Young people go the wrong way at the moment, as long as they can rein in the precipice and turn back in time, we elders don't need to be too harsh, just smile After all, who hasn't done a foolish thing or two when he was young?"

"What makes people sad is not their mistakes, but their ignorance of repentance. They have to act like a car with their arms, and do things that are contrary to etiquette and righteousness. When they hit the south wall and see the coffin, it's already too late... Mrs. Mu, you are the attendant of Chu. Mo's master, you don't want him to repeat the same mistakes as that Mei's son?"

Lin asked herself that these words were enough to put her heart to her heart. Anyone with a little sense and understanding would know what to do. Sure enough, Mu Xiyun smiled and said slowly: "I heard that Yanhe Shen's family of poetry and rites , I saw it today, as expected.”

Lin's heart relaxed, and she was about to say thank you, but she didn't want Mu Xiyun to change the subject suddenly and said: "We are a lonely city on Lishan Mountain, a poor village, a small place, and we have not asked about the affairs of the family for a long time. It is superficial, and there are many debates on etiquette and law, not as many as Yanhe City."

Her words seemed to be self-effacing, but she was too modest. Although Yiye Gucheng is located in the East Pole, Lishan Mountain has inherited martial arts for hundreds of years, and peaches and plums are all over Kyushu. Ye Gucheng has long been known as the "Eastern Capital", and it is prosperous and prosperous, which is not much worse than Shaodu, the city of Ningzhou.In terms of reputation and strength, if you look at Dayin Kyushu, besides Yishan Academy, who else dares to compare with it?

Lin's heart suddenly had a bad premonition, and as expected, Mu Xiyun hooked the corners of his lips, and said: "So, what Mrs. Lin said just now is 'to assist the saints, to prosper the clan', I don't know. I understand very well. I only know that saints are human beings, and Your Majesty also has to live a life. People eat whole grains and have all kinds of emotions and six desires. On this point, my apprentice is no different from Your Majesty. Mrs. Lin may not be clear. When it comes to love, you don’t pay much attention to the trade-offs of benefits. If you have to weigh the pros and cons of everything in your life, what’s the point? I’ve always thought that life is for living, not for weighing.”

"As you know, my apprentice really likes His Majesty. I didn't stop him because the days belong to him, and only he knows the warmth and happiness. If the fate is right, he might be able to be like Prince Mincheng and Duan in the future." Like Marquis Wu Xiang, it is passed down as a good story in the history of the country. If it tastes bad, it is like what you said just now, young people will make mistakes more or less, one difference and two lenient, just quit."

Lin felt that Mu Xiyun was simply unreasonable. She laughed back with anger, her chest heaved a few times, and said coldly: "Quit? Mrs. Mu said it easily, what level of person do you think Gaozu is? Take history as a mirror, Mei's son You haven't forgotten what happened, have you?"

Her voice suddenly rose, but Mu Xiyun just looked at her calmly, and after a long while, said calmly, "Ms. Lin said she died in exile?"

Lin said nothing.

Mu Xiyun chuckled, "Mrs. Lin, I know what level my apprentice is, so I don't need you to remind me. Since I dare to say this, I have my reasons."

Lin choked, and just about to speak, Mu Xiyun said again: "Chu Heng grew up under the knees of my husband and I, and my husband is the most protective person. Although he doesn't have great skills, I think it's better to have a hand in hand." It's okay for the apprentice to take it back to Yiye Gucheng intact."

——Mu Xiyun's husband is Ye Jianwei, the lord of the Eastern Capital, one of Dayin's five Mahayana realms.

Lin's eyes flickered, and then Mu Xiyun sighed and said in melancholy: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. On this point, his apprentice followed him, but Ah Yue His temper is not very good, and the person he puts in his heart is never allowed to be tampered with by others."

Mu Xiyun's words were ambiguous, and Lin caught the word "A Yue" in it, and subconsciously matched the number with Jun Ji Wuyue of Lishan Mountain, and immediately thought of Dong Jun's attack on Qian Nuo Lou, in front of others "" Not for the emperor's joy", the imperial servant Mo turned over in an instant, and gave the emperor a reason to favor Chu Heng in front of others.Could it be that the people on and off Lishan Mountain really think that Chu Heng and the Emperor are suitable?

Shen Dai was listening at the side, she had already turned her head away with her handkerchief tightly clenched, Lin's glanced at her daughter from the corner of her eye, gritted her teeth, and asked sharply: "Mrs. Mu, does Lishan really want to risk the disgrace of the world? "

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Xiyun shook her head and sneered: "Mrs. Lin, you said earlier that you wanted to open the skylight with me to speak honestly. Now that this is the end, I might as well open the window for you—"

"Let's not say that now that the crown prince is established, the foundation of the country has been established. I just want to say that these two things are pleasing to each other. History is a mirror. Taizu agrees. Dare to ask, who does my apprentice like, who does His Majesty like? Are you risking the world? No, or risking your Yanhe Shen's dislike?"

These words can be said to be tearing skins, piercing Lin's heart, her breathing was stagnant, her cheeks trembled violently a few times, but she couldn't say anything to refute.

Mu Xiyun bowed his head and saluted, signaling to take a step ahead, "We are in a remote place in Lishan Mountain, we are short-sighted, and our words and deeds are vulgar. If there is any offense, myself and my next generation husband will apologize to you, and I hope Mrs. Lin Haihan."

……

A few people who came to hunt at that time wandered around Shouyun Mountain, but as expected, they didn't even touch a rabbit fur.

Seeing that the sun was already at noon, Han Chengmiao led Chu Heng's white eyes and Chu Yan's puzzlement, under the eyes of Su Lang, Ye Shuli, and Xiao Gaomin, who watched the excitement without thinking it was a big deal, led a few people to go out in a mighty way. I'm going to eat at the villa of the eldest princess of Changning.

①The reason why Shen Dai and Gu Rou are different, see Shun Xing ([-]) ②Tearing up the X chapter is mainly to pave the way for the only important plot point in nine years. In addition, the teacher is about to leave the imperial capital and return to Lishan. Considering The logic of how people like Shen will act in the future must make them realize that although Hua is weak and pitiful, she is not helpless, and there are people behind her, and the tone of the teacher's wife is most suitable. ③Taizu is a brick, where it needs to be moved (bushi).In the setting of the world view, the opposite sex is the mainstream, but the background of relative tolerance for the same sex is mainly due to my personal selfishness, and I don't really want to exert too much resistance from the social background.Similar to the setting out of selfishness, the girls mentioned above are not limited to the back house, and usually start to discuss relatives and so on.There is no need for textual research~④The words and deeds of all the characters in the whole book are based on the world they live in, so don't easily substitute them into reality.
