Mu Chenyi asked Li Jiefeng to send her back, and he went to Peiping that afternoon.[Download the novel www
As soon as Mu Chenyi left, it seemed to become quiet. As soon as he left, it seemed as if he took away all the disputes, all the pain, and all the arguments.
Sihan wanted to go back to Songzhou. Because Mu Chenyi went to Peiping, Li Jiefeng arranged for many days before arranging a special train for them.
Originally they had planned to leave in two days, but it was unexpectedly postponed for nearly seven days.
At this time, earth-shaking changes occurred in the Northland. Sun Quangui was assassinated, Mu Chenyi and Yan Kunxi led troops into Peiping, Sun's cabinet collapsed, and Mu Chenyi and Yan Kunxi elected Gao Chongnian, who was highly popular in the Northland, as president and reorganized
Cabinet. The entire northern "government" has been reshuffled. Rong Fengyi, who originally held great power in the northern "government", is still the vice president, but he no longer has real power.[
For a time, China was shaken. Mu Chenyi was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Grand Marshal of the Southeast. Yan Kunxi was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. The entire northern cabinet was controlled by Mu Chenyi and Yan Kunxi. In fact, Gao Chongnian was elected by the Security Bureau controlled by Mu Chenyi.
This was also part of the compromise agreement reached between Mu Chenyi and Yan Kunxi.
When Sihan later read about it in the newspaper, she had already boarded the train back to Songzhou.
After getting on the train, Mrs. Duan saw her eldest son. Seeing that her eldest son was safe and sound, Ms. Duan finally felt relieved.
"Han'er, you have to be more open-minded. Songzhou is already like this. Governor Mu has treated us with all his kindness. After your father's funeral is settled, you can go back to Liaozhou and live a good life with Governor Mu." Duan said.
persuade her.
Sihan smiled and nodded: "Mom, I know it well."
Mrs. Duan has long felt that this daughter is different from when she was a child. She is very independent. As a mother, she can't see through it now.
"Han'er, did I disturb you?" Huo Tianyu knocked on the door and came in. He saw her sitting by the window and walked in. "Is Mu Mu sleeping?"
"I just fell asleep." Sihan sat up, "Brother, why haven't you rested yet?"
"I couldn't sleep for a while." Huo Tianyu sat next to her, "I saw that your carriage light was still on, so I came to see you."
"I fell asleep soon," Sihan replied.
"What are you thinking about? Mu Chenyi?" Huo Tianyu asked, seeing that she seemed to be worried.
"Brother, why can't you sleep either?" Sihan asked.
"I'm also thinking about Mu Chenyi." Huo Tianyu said and opened the curtain. The train rumbled, and it was dark outside with no end. "I have to admit that Mu Chenyi is a very capable person, but I also
It can be foreseen that he and Yan Kunxi will definitely fight in the near future."
"These things are nothing that we women can care about." Sihan smiled bitterly, "I never ask what he wants to do."
"But Han'er, Mu Chenyi could have been more ruthless and cruel when he destroyed Songzhou, but in the end he treated the Huo family leniently. When I saw him, he still valued you very much." Huo Tianyu's eyes widened as he spoke.
There was a strange light shining in it.
"Brother, when I begged Mu Chenyi, I actually wanted you to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. You chose this position yourself. You don't need to tell me what you want to do in the future. I don't want to know either.
, let alone participate. I feel the same way about Mu Chenyi, I hope you can understand." Sihan is so familiar with this look in his eyes, and the eldest brother has no intention of giving up.
And it was impossible for me to persuade him. The only thing that was difficult was to stay out of the matter.
Huo Tianyu understood, and Sihan's expression was cold, cold to the bottom of his heart.
"I understand, Han'er." Huo Tianyu stood up, "You have a good rest." [
Sihan nodded and watched her elder brother go out before going back to rest.
They arrived at Songzhou the next morning. Shi Lei from Songzhou had already gone north, leaving only the defenders here to greet them. Li Jiefeng immediately communicated with the defenders and generals and began to discuss Huo Shifang's funeral.
They went all the way back to Huo's house. After a year's absence, Sihan returned to Songzhou. He was familiar with the streets. Songzhou was not as prosperous as Liaozhou, and several roads were connected in all directions. Mu Chenyi took over Songzhou, and Songzhou seemed to be similar to
It was no different before.
She read the newspaper and said that Shi Lei's 7th Division entered Songzhou and burned, killed, and looted, leaving Songzhou in ruins. Looking at it now, it was just spreading rumors.
All the way to Huo's house, there were no changes at all. If there was any change, it would be that the front wall and door had been renovated.
"Madam, the governor thought that she must be homesick, so she arranged for her to stay at Huo's house. Your room has been decorated." Bingyu said in her ear.
"Thank you for your hard work, Bingyu." Sihan turned to her and smiled gratefully.
"This is what the warlord told me, and it's what I should do." Bingyu led them inside.
"Mom, sister-in-law, you are tired from the journey, go back to your room and rest first!" Sihan said to Duan next to her.
Mrs. Duan almost burst into tears when she saw her home.
She returned to her room. The room was decorated according to her preferences. There was a nanmu screen when she entered the door, and a faint fragrance came over her. When she entered again, there was a small round table and a tea set with water and lotus.
The bed is an old-style carved beech bed, with a dressing table placed next to it.
She walked over, the comb she used was still there, and she "touched" the comb.
"Madam, you are tired too, please go to bed early." Bingyu said in her ear.
"Has the mourning hall been decorated?" Sihan sat down and asked.
"Everything is arranged properly and the mourning clothes are ready. Madam can change into them later," Bingyu replied.
"Thank you." Sihan was very grateful.
After Bingyu left, Sihan changed into mourning clothes under the service of Fu Ma, and carried the wood to the mourning hall to kowtow to her father.
"Dad, this is Haoxuan, your grandson. I will bring him to kowtow to you." Sihan said, kowtowing three times in a row.
"Master..." As she was kneeling, a bunch of women rushed in, and all of them started to cry.
Only then did she remember that her father had a lot of concubines, but now that he was gone, these women were nowhere to be found.
In the evening, she discussed with Huo Tianyu and dismissed all the concubines.
Huo Tianyu naturally listened to him. The existence of those women had no other meaning than to cry. The next day, Huo Tianyu sent all the concubines away, except for those who had children.[
The day for the funeral was also set, and it was set seven days later. Sihan originally wanted to go earlier, but Duan was also particular and wanted a day suitable for burial. Sihan finally had to agree.
As soon as she came back, many relatives of the Huo family came to chat with each other from time to time. Now the Huo family is pointing fingers at Sihan. What's more, they are worried that Mu Chenyi and Yan Kunxi are now inseparable, and Mu Chenyi is about to marry Yan Kunxi.
Two granddaughters, do the Mu family still have the status of Sihan?
But the Huo family also saw that Mu Chenyi's subordinates respected Sihan very much. They didn't dare to interact with him at first, but now they are close to him.
"Your second uncle, after our Huo family was occupied, he stayed away and never came once. Now that you are back, you have come again." Young Master Duan had to complain in front of Fa Ye.
"Mom, we are all one family, we are biologically related, so if you know it, just keep it in your heart." Sihan comforted her mother in this way.
Sihan knew that her eldest brother had made some moves recently. His father had been in Songzhou for many years and was still very powerful. Now that he had returned to Songzhou, it was entirely possible that he wanted to do something.
Taking advantage of an opportunity, Sihan still wanted to remind him: "Brother, no matter what you want to do, please think about your mother and sister-in-law."
"Han'er, do you know something?" Huo Tianyu asked her with a straight face.
"I don't know anything..." Sihan sighed helplessly, "Brother, I just don't want to see my loved ones suffer anymore."
Huo Tianyu's eyes were deep and he did not respond.
Sihan has always been worried. Tomorrow is the day of her father's funeral. She looks at her son, describing his face, her mind is blank.
At this time, the door opened with a creaking sound. She didn't even notice that someone approached her.
Until a hand was placed on her shoulder: "What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought."
When Sihan heard this voice that could make her nerves twitch, she looked up suddenly and saw that it was Mu Chenyi. He was wearing a black coat. Maybe it was raining outside and his body was wet, and his bangs
Hanging down, he looked younger and more frank. However, there was a faint stubble on his chin, and there was a lot of mud on his boots, which could not hide his dusty appearance.
"What's wrong, did you see me so happy that I couldn't speak?" Mu Chenyi pressed a kiss on her lips and scratched Mu Mu's nose in her arms, "Mu Mu, do you miss your father?
"
When Mu Mu saw him, he grinned.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Peiping?" Sihan said with her heart skipping a beat.
"I'm here after the matter in Peking has been settled for a while." Mu Chenyi said as he took off his coat, wearing a double-breasted green military uniform, and put his hat on the table aside. "Besides, today is a big day.
Our wood is a hundred days old, and I originally said that I would throw a grand banquet for him. Now it’s too late, how could I not show up?”
Sihan suddenly remembered, yes, today is the 100th day of the tree. The days passed so quickly, more than half a month passed.
"Besides, tomorrow is my father-in-law's funeral, and I will support his coffin." Mu Chenyi said, and went over there to get a towel to wipe his hair.
"How can I ask the Governor to hold the coffin? My elder brother has already arranged it." Sihan subconsciously refused.
"Isn't it natural for my son-in-law to hold the coffin for his father-in-law?" Mu Chenyi wiped his hair almost, and all the hair fell around his ears. He looked approachable, with a smile at the corner of his eyes, and a smile at the corner of his mouth.
