Eunuch Lu stood up and offered her a cup of tea: "Thank you for the reminder, Waiter." In his heart, he had already guessed the purpose of the other party's visit.

Everyone sat in the main hall, deep in thought. A burst of hearty laughter came from the door, followed by heavy footsteps. A large hand pushed the curtain to the door open, showing that he was familiar with the place.

"Haha, I heard that eunuch came to the palace, but I didn't expect that I, a boorish man, would catch up."

"Chen Shou!"

Other than Zuo Ren Xian and Eunuch Lu, the rest greeted him, obviously they were very familiar with him.

The moment Chen Lie entered, he immediately saw the Eunuch Lu sitting in the leader's seat. He pointed at him and laughed: "Is that him? Heh heh, wood girl, is he making things difficult for you? "

The moment he entered the door, he asked like this. Eunuch Lu was so shocked that his whole body was covered in cold sweat, it was fortunate that he did not take any action just now.

"Chen Shou Bing, I have always treated the current emperor as my first priority, and the things I do were also ordered by the current emperor, there is absolutely no reason for me to make things difficult for the wood girl."

Eunuch Lu did not want to be involved in this muddy water, so he tried to clear his mind.

Chen Lie was currently fourteen years old, and was within the selection area. Why did this Eunuch Lu not make things difficult for her?

He touched his beard and said, "You are a man of your word. I have been ordered to go there by your highness."

He then shouted out, "Men, bring this thing in, wood girl, this is what the Prince called me to bring back for you to calm down."

Someone carried boxes of clothes and silk inside, and Mu Rousang's face immediately became ugly.

Yang Zixuan stood next to her and quietly pinched her little arm, giving her a comforting smile.

He turned his head and said to Chen Lie: "When you go back, help me thank the Xiangyang King. I'll accept this wedding gift on behalf of Sang'er."

Dai Sang'er? Chen Lie suddenly had a bad premonition. As expected, when he saw that Yang Zixuan had slightly narrowed his pair of foxeye s, preventing others from prying into his thoughts, he explained gently: "I originally came to the Mu Family to marry Sang'er after the New Year as per my father's orders. As for this, I just heard about the matter of the selection, so I decided to give the marriage contract as well."

"wood girl, you are engaged?"

Chen Lie's eyes widened in disbelief. His mother, this girl was fast and straightforward, with Princess Xiangyang's petty personality, the Duke Palace was not suitable for this straightforward girl to stay in front of him.

Mu Rousang was embarrassed by his stare, her face slightly red as she responded with a soft hum. Then, she felt that something was wrong, and she didn't do anything wrong, why did she have a guilty conscience? She raised her head and nodded her head seriously, and said: "Yes, my brother has already agreed, my uncle and grandmother also think that Zi Xuan's character is good, they are also in favor of it."

Alright, the Mu Family had a simple population, so they didn't have such a complicated network of relatives. This engagement saved them a lot of trouble, so it was settled.

Eunuch Lu, who was at the side, was silently tasting the tea. He could tell that the things between the few of them were not clear, so he decided to just drink some tea by the side as a wall pillar.

Thinking about it, he still could not sit still and wait for death, he hurriedly stood up and said: wood girl, I have drank the tea, and have dealt with the matters that I should do, that is, the wood girl already has the letter of appointment, I have no reason to force you, I still have to go to other counties, and we will part ways here.

ordered Chun Yi to bring over a red packet and also called Aunt Liu to send it off. The little ghost was hard to deal with, she didn't want the Mu Family to leave a mark in front of the Emperor.

After the Eunuch Lu left, Chen Lie scoffed, "This eunuch is truly an amazing person. No wonder he could live for so long in the palace."

"What he did was just to survive. By the way, Chen Shou, it's not the time for the fruits to be harvested yet, why aren't you doing your duty in the Xiangyang? Why did you come to Shu Province?"

Because of Mu Rousang's illness, Mu Jinzhi was treated with contempt in private matters.

Chen Lie reached out to his temples and said: "wood girl, that's not right, it isn't..."

Chen Lie thought about Su Ruirui's anger at the time and his neck shrunk. What should he do, getting tricked by Yang Zixuan, in the end, was still a little too slow.

It turned out that when Yang Zixuan first arrived at the small mountain village, he received the news a step earlier than him. Unfortunately, the Xiangyang and Shu Province were very far apart, and when the Jin King found out that Su Ruirui came to Shu in disguise, he became even more wary of them. It took Chen Lie a while to reach Shu Province, but he was still a step too slow to make it to the Eunuch Lu.

"When did the wood girl decide on this? How come my master hasn't heard anything at all? "

When he said these words, he secretly looked at Aunt Liu who was seated far away, and saw her meditating like a monk. She looked at his nose, her nose and heart, not even glancing at Chen Lie.

Mu Jinzhi sneered from the side: "My sister has been sick ever since the Spring Festival, it's all thanks to Big Brother Yang's efforts, she's the only one who's been successful. You're bringing it up again, isn't it because you want her to be sick?"

Hearing that, Chen Lie was shocked, he really did not know that Mu Rousang had been sick for a long time, so he carefully sized her up. Although her face was flushed red, she was weaker than the last time he saw her, as though she had just recovered.

"Is wood girl sick? "I really don't know. Please see how cold it is!"

Didn't Xiangyang send someone to look after her secretly? How come he didn't even know that she was sick? He didn't know that the Mu siblings and the people around them all knew martial arts, so it was easy for him to hide from the person hiding in the shadows.

Mu Rousang saw that her brother was furious, and felt that the Princess Xiangyang was really generous in pushing for this selection, not to mention how many innocent girls were separated from their relatives and relatives just because of this, even if she went through so much trouble just to get her to distance herself from Su Ruirui, she still had to dig a hole and repay this favor.

As she thought about it, her smile became even more amiable, and even her voice became three times sweeter than usual, "Big brother Chen, from what you said, I must really thank Zixuan. Although he is my future husband, if it wasn't for his request to marry me, a weak girl like me would probably have already been captured and accepted as a candidate for the list. How could I chat with you so casually?"

She paused for a moment and then continued, "Furthermore, if there is no such thing, my brother would definitely not be willing to part with me so quickly. Eunuch Lu mentioned it before, but there is someone secretly messing with me, he must make me go to the palace so that I can be his concubine for the rest of my life.

Mu Jinzhi was a sis-con, hearing Mu Rousang's words, he climbed up the pole and said: "Yes, big brother Chen, you know it, my little sister and I have been relying on each other for so long, our family's days have just passed by and she hasn't even had the chance to enjoy some blessings, how can I bear to marry her off so quickly? Moreover, as an elder brother, I haven't even decided yet, if I had not met with such a situation, I would have agreed to this matter so quickly."

When Yang Zixuan heard this, he was initially unhappy, but after hearing what Mu Rousang had to say, he changed his mind and smiled like a little fox. He looked at Mu Rousang lovingly.

Seeing the two siblings singing together, Yang Zixuan smiled widely and said: "Chen Shougao, if you have free time next year, regarding Sang'er and I, I would like to invite you to have a cup of wine."

Chen Lie had originally been thinking about what to do, but who knew that Yang Zixuan would actually lift him up so high. Helpless, he could only laugh: "If I don't have work to do at that time, I will definitely go and beg for a cup of wine to eat."

Regarding the reason why Su Ruirui called him here, it was also not mentioned at all!

He then took out a letter from his chest pocket and handed it over to Mu Jinzhi, saying: "Jin'zhi, this is the letter that Liu Dahu had asked me to bring over."

Mu Jinzhi took the letter and said: "Thank you Big Brother Chen, seeing as it is getting late, why not stay and eat, and play around for two days, it is the best time to enjoy the scenery of the small mountain village."

Chen Lie did not dare to stay for long, and now that the Eunuch Lu had brought his men away, his original plan of stopping them had become useless, but he was worried that Su Ruirui might not know what to do after finding out about this matter, and immediately waved his hands: "I was just passing through this place on my way here to deliver some things, and am currently in a rush to settle some matters.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, and that he couldn't force anything, Mu Rousang immediately ordered servants to prepare a special dish for him, it was nothing more than rabbit meat, roast duck etc. When Chen Lie took it over, he immediately knew what the special dish of the Lotus Leaf Pouch was.

Thank you, wood girl. I will take this food, next time you come, remember to prepare more.

Mu Rousang laughed through her veil: "This time I was too rushed, next time I will definitely make more preparations for Big Brother Chen."

The few of them walked to the entrance and watched him lead his people away. Mu Rousang frowned and said, "How come these people are all experts in martial arts?"

In the past, when Chen Lie brought people to transport the fruits, they were only ordinary soldiers.

Mu Jinzhi and Yang Zixuan looked at each other and said, "Didn't he say he had business to attend to? "Let's go, I'm hungry. Quickly, get someone to prepare dinner."

Mu Rousang thought about something and said worriedly: "Big brother, let's send someone to send the fruits of our family to Xiangyang. Little Mountain Village will not be as lively in the future as it used to be, there will be a lot more people coming and going, and the Duke of Jin's people will probably be mixed in.

"Xiao Sangsang, you don't have to worry about this, hand it over to me … I'll do it! " When Yang Zixuan said the word "husband," Mu Rousang already pinched his waist with her small hand, so he decisively changed his words.

Zuo Ren Xian who was at the side secretly laughed, Yang Zixuan glared at him, thinking to himself about how to torture him, how to laugh at him.
