The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 291 Relief
When Daiyu and the others were having fun in the back garden, Mu Xu also came back after talking with his grandmother. Before entering the courtyard, he saw Hongxiu rushing over, bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, the princess welcomes you!"

Mu Xu paused, and immediately turned around, heading towards his mother's yard, and asked casually, "Is mother looking for me?"

Hongxiu followed Mu Xu's footsteps and replied, "Just now a little eunuch came and said that the Empress Dowager summoned the princess into the palace."

Mu Xu nodded and walked quickly to his mother's room. As soon as he entered, he saw his mother telling the girls to pack their bags. He asked in confusion, "What is mother doing?"

Princess Changning explained, "Your grandmother sent me a message asking me to come to the palace to stay with her for a few days."

Seeing his son's belongings among the girls' packing, Mu Xu wondered, "Mother wants to bring Brother Mao with her?"

Princess Changning nodded, "That's right, I will stay in the palace for ten days and half a month this time, I really can't bear to part with Brother Mao, so I'll just bring him with me."

"Ah, did Yu'er inform you?" Mu Xu just said that, when she saw her mother smiling and looking at him, she suddenly understood, and she said, "Isn't Yu'er just waiting for guests, it's up to you Go talk to her, and let the mansion prepare the frame by the way."

Mu Xu persuaded in a roundabout way, "Brother Mao has grown up so much, and he hasn't left his mother yet. If he goes into the palace and cries, won't he disturb the purity of his grandmother? Why don't mother go by herself, and when she thinks about him, send Let me know, and I will send him back to the palace."

Princess Changning glanced at Mu Xu, and said with a smirk, "Why, mother wants to get closer to her grandson, but it's not enough, or is it that you are also afraid of daughter-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xu immediately argued red-faced, "Look at what mother said, I'm not afraid of my wife, am I afraid that mother will be tired, and..."

"No. Besides, being a mother is not afraid of being tired. Besides, there are so many concubines in the palace, and there is no one to coax Brother Mao!"

Hearing what his mother said, Mu Xu had no choice but to respond, and turned around and walked towards the back garden.When he arrived downstairs at Dengxian Pavilion, he hesitated for a while, before he could decide what to say to Daiyu, he heard Baochai's voice, "Why are you here?"

Mu Xu looked back, but saw Baochai coming out of the door with Wang Xifeng. He put on a smiling face and asked, "Didn't you say you want to start a poetry club, are you?"

Wang Xifeng replied with a smile, "I can only read a few words, and the account book is fine, but I dare not participate in such an elegant event, so I begged Sister Bao to take me around."

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Xu understood that the two of them must be looking for a secluded place to discuss Wang Ziteng's affairs, so he didn't point it out, and said, "Then you can go for a walk, but remember to come back later. When I went to grandma just now, I heard the report from the housekeeper that today the servants who are shopping in the house met a merchant from the Western Regions and bought a batch of high-quality watermelons. Later, I will ask the servants to send you some. Try it out."

"Yo, then I'm not going to be polite, watermelons are a rarity."

Mu Xu waved his hand, "Hey, what's so rare about this, if the second sister-in-law likes it, bring some with her when she returns home, and give Qiao sister a taste too."

Wang Xifeng thanked Mu Xu for not mentioning it. Seeing that the two had finished speaking, Baochai asked Mu Xu's purpose again. Stay here for a few days, let me tell Yu'er."

When Baochai rolled her eyes, she understood Mu Xu's embarrassment, and said amusedly, "Okay, you don't have to go, I will tell Sister Lin later."

When Mu Xu heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, "That would be great, I'm really not used to you bunch of Yingyingyanyans." After saying that, he greeted Wang Xifeng and left quickly.

Looking at Mu Xuyuan's back, Wang Xifeng sighed, "Your lord, you don't have any pretensions at all, and you don't look like a son of a royal family at all."

Baochai was complacent, but said, "He has always hated red tape, so he is always so casual in the house."

Wang Xifeng patted Baochai's arm, and said dissatisfiedly, "You're still doing this with me, you don't know how to show off!"

Baochai didn't refute, just smiled, and changed the subject, "Okay, let's talk about business matters. I'll leave everything about my aunt and cousin Xiluan to you and my mother. It's really hard for me to come forward."

Wang Xifeng said seriously, "Don't worry, my aunt treats me like her own, and Xiluan is my first cousin. I will definitely arrange them properly." Having said that, she looked around and asked in a low voice Said, "Did your family ever say, when will the second uncle be sentenced and how will he be convicted?"

Baochai shook her head, "He only said that it was just a few days ago, but he didn't say which day. As for the charges against my uncle..." She hesitated for a while, but still told Wang Xifeng, "I heard that the Ministry of Punishment ordered that the city be cut in half and the whole family be exiled. , Later, someone from Xungui interceded, and the emperor changed his head to beheaded. The family members were supposed to be demoted to slaves, but our sons had some private activities, so they were demoted to ordinary people, but all the family property had to be confiscated."

Although Wang Xifeng is quite dissatisfied with Wang Ziteng now, but after all, the relationship for many years is not fake. Knowing that he has ended up like this, he feels a little bit unbearable, "How can the sentence be so severe?"

Baochai said with a wry smile, "The news came from Jinling that the police have made a move. They have been accumulating money and food in private for so many years, and they are trying to win over officials, gentry and wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River. The big treason case, according to the laws of the imperial court, the nine clans will be in trouble, but fortunately our eldest son has dignity with the emperor, so we are picked out of our relatives in advance, don't think about anything else."

Wang Xifeng turned pale with fright, and nodded quickly, "What my sister said is that we must be content."

The two talked again, Baochai saw that Wang Xifeng's expression was not good, and knew that she must be frightened, so he took her to the pond for a walk, and waited for her expression to improve before returning to Dengxian Pavilion.

"Hey, where did Second Sister-in-law and Sister Bao go, and why did they take so long to come back?" Xichun had sharp eyes, and was the first to spot the two coming back, so she asked immediately.

Facing everyone's concerned eyes, Baochai replied with a normal expression, "Sister Feng insists on making a fuss to see our sister Jin, so I will take her to recognize my niece."

Shi Xiangyun was the closest to Baochai when he was in Jia's mansion. Hearing this, he immediately threw the pen in his hand and complained, "Sister Bao is like this, I haven't seen my niece before, you Why don't you call me along?"

Daiyu had seen the change in Sister Feng's face earlier, but she didn't understand that Baochai's words were just an excuse, so when she heard what Xiangyun said, she immediately rescued Baochai, "What are you in a hurry for? We have so much time today. I'm also afraid that I won't see Jin'er later."

Shi Xiangyun just gave up, and just pulled Baochai to the desk, pointed to a few poems on the desk and said, "In this case, sister Bao, why don't you come and break it down, who among us has the best poem!"

Baochai looked at several poems one by one, and immediately came to a conclusion in his heart, naturally the best one was written by Daiyu.But she has always been a decent person, so she would not offend people by telling the truth, so she praised each poem a few words, only talking about its advantages, but did not say a word about what is wrong with it.

The girls are all very thoughtful people, and they have already known their own poetic talents. Now, after hearing Baochai's judgment, they can't help but secretly praise her.

Just at this time, a few girls came in with food boxes, saying that they were ordered by the prince to bring some watermelons to quench everyone's thirst.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Baochai hurriedly got rid of Xiangyun, pulled Daiyu aside, and told what Mu Xu had entrusted.After Daiyu heard this, although she felt a little bit reluctant to let go of her son, she didn't say anything, only saying that she knew.
