Chapter 12: Persistence
How did she forget this stubble, Minglan patted her head and said, "Then I'll tell my aunt and ask her to prepare more charcoal." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Mother Zhao smiled, "I think the girl should not say it, the eldest lady doesn't like others to interfere in her housekeeping, you say it, she won't listen." ”
She was embarrassed to say that in this weather, there was no need to prepare more charcoal fires, plus in previous years, the eldest lady had done a proper job of setting up the inner courtyard, and there was nothing wrong, so she rashly asked her to prepare more charcoal fires, she was definitely not happy, and maybe she felt that Minglan was teaching her how to take care of the house.
Minglan also knew that the eldest lady was very small-minded and couldn't hear the words of others, especially in the second room, but she knew that it would snow heavily and it would be very cold, and the charcoal fire would grow ten times more expensive, so she naturally had to prepare a little more.
She looked for an opportunity to mention it euphemistically.
Minglan made up his mind, so he didn't bother the Mu family to prune the flower branches, and then said, "Mother, I plan to go to the Muyang Hou Mansion for a while, what do you want me to bring to my uncle?"
Mu Shi was stunned when he heard this, looked at her knee and said, "You're going out today, don't your knees still hurt?"
Minglan shook his head and said in a humming voice, "It doesn't hurt, I haven't seen my uncle and cousin for a long time, I miss them." ”
The Mu family was left to her, she didn't have anything to say to Minglan to bring, so Minglan took Bizhu to Changsong Courtyard.
Coincidentally, the eldest lady was discussing with the old lady about the winter, "It seems that this year is a warm winter, and the charcoal fire will be more prepared last year, and I think half of the preparation is enough......." ”
Minglan stepped forward and blessed the old lady to say goodbye.
The old lady beckoned, and Minglan sat beside her, and whoever the old lady liked, she would let her sit beside her.
Minglan smiled and said, "Grandmother, are you and your aunt discussing the matter of spending the winter?"
The old lady nodded and smiled, and said, "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"
Minglan said, "It's not that I'm interested, just now I came from Youlan Garden, my mother and Zhao's mother said don't look at the sun now, it's like autumn, maybe it will snow heavily in a few days, Zhao's mother is used to looking at the weather, just now I heard my aunt say that the charcoal fire is only half of the previous year, and it will not be enough to snow heavily." ”
Her voice is crisp, like the melodious song of a kingfisher in the mountains, and her graceful and beautiful voice is like a stream colliding with mountains and rocks, stirring up gorgeous splashes.
Bizhu's eyes blinked and blinked, how could the girl insist on preparing so much charcoal, it was not enough to tell her wife, she had to persuade the eldest lady, and she also lied in the name of her wife, she had never lied before, and said something that was false.
The eldest lady didn't like others to question her housekeeper, especially the second wife, although Minglan just mentioned it casually, she looked at Minglan and smiled, " I really didn't know that Zhao's mother was so good at watching the sky, the big families in Kyoto have reduced their charcoal fire expenses this year, and even the palace is less prepared, Qin Tianjian is specially responsible for watching the sky at night, there are many people in the house, and all expenses have to be carefully calculated, not that I think it will snow, so I have to prepare a bunch of things that I can't use, I really need to wait for the snow, and it's not too late to buy it, you are still young, and when you marry someone in the future, you will understand. ”
It was true that it was snowing, and it was okay to buy it again, but the price at that time was not what it is now.
Seeing that the eldest lady insisted on not buying, Minglan had nothing to say, plus Gu Yinlan stood aside, looked at her and said, "I heard you say yesterday that you are going to Muyang Hou's Mansion, are your knees right?"
It's really always thinking about the secret recipe she promised, she never broke her promise, and she didn't need to remind her again and again, Minglan touched his knee and said, "It's much better, I'll go to Muyang Hou's Mansion in a while." ”
Thinking of the day before yesterday, Muyang Hou came forward to invite Mrs. Wang to protect Aunt Fang's fetus, the old lady was ashamed, although it was Muyang Hou who invited Minglan in the face, but the Gu family accepted his affection, so he instructed Wang's mother to prepare a gift, and asked Minglan to take Muyang Hou's mansion to Mrs. Mu.
Minglan shook his head and said, "Grandmother doesn't need it, my uncle helped me, I gave a gift to thank you, he will definitely say that I have seen him outside, besides, few people know about this matter, and once I give a gift, I can't hide it." ”
Such a humiliating thing, she didn't have the heart to spread it, Mrs. Mu is a stepfamily, she doesn't treat her uncle and cousin sincerely, her uncle helped her, but the gift was given to Mrs. Mu, there is no such reason.
If you want to send it, you will send it to your uncle and cousin, and she will not send it to others.
The old lady didn't think about it so much, and when she heard it, she felt that what Minglan said was reasonable, but she was negligent, so she smiled and said, "Then wait for the New Year, and then send it together." ”
Minglan nodded like pounding garlic, and waited for the maid to send a message to the front yard to prepare the carriage to come back, and then she retreated.
After leaving the house, I got into the carriage, and after half an hour, I arrived at the Muyang Hou Mansion.
There are a lot of people on the streets, and sometimes it's not as fast as walking.
In front of the Muyang Marquis's Mansion, there are two mighty stone lions, and the gilded plaques are shining in the sun.
The gatekeeper saw that it was Minglan's usual carriage, and greeted him with a smile, and said, "My cousin is here?"
Minglan smiled like spring and said, "Uncle and cousin are in the mansion?"
The little guy nodded like pounding garlic, "It's all here, the eldest young master doesn't know how to anger the Hou Ye, and he was reprimanded in the study, the Hou Ye has always loved the cousin girl, you can just help the eldest young master say a few good words." ”
After hearing this, Minglan took the hem of his skirt and walked into the Muyang Marquis Mansion and went straight to the study in the outer courtyard.
Muyang Hou loves her, everyone in the Hou Mansion knows that she is turning the sky upside down in the Hou Mansion, and no maid dares to say a word.
The little guy guarding the study watched Minglan come over from a distance, and knocked on the door, "Master Hou, the cousin is here." ”
When Minglan approached, he heard his cousin Mu Li say, "Dad, my cousin is here, why don't you save me two points of face...... ”
Then, I heard Mu Yanghou's angry voice, "Do you still know that if you want to save face, don't you want your father?!"
Minglan blinked, the little maid pushed the door open, and she stepped in.
Mu Li stood aside, drooping his head, looking like he was listening, but he didn't feel wrong at all.
Minglan chuckled, stepped forward, and said, "Uncle, why did my cousin make you angry, I heard you count him down from afar." ”
Muyang Hou asked Minglan to step forward, pointed at Mu Li and said, "You bastard cousin actually dare to murmur behind his back with Wu Anbo's son that I am too strict with him, it is better to be Wu Anbo!"
Mu Li's face I didn't say anything wrong, I can't tell a lie with a conscience, and the angry Mu Yanghou can't wait to throw him with a paperweight.
It's a funny thing, but Minglan can't laugh.
Muyang Hou is indeed very strict with Mu Li, and he must be strict.
Mu Li is the eldest son and grandson, and he will inherit the title of Marquis in the future, but the royal family is afraid of the Marquis of Muyang and wants to take back the military power in the hands of the Marquis of Muyang.
The Mu family was the king of the opposite sex when he was the ancestor, and after the death of the old man Mu, it was passed to the old lady Mu, which was the Muguo Mansion, and it was passed to Minglan's uncle Mu Zhen that was the Marquis of Muyang, and it was passed on from generation to generation, and every time it was passed back, the emperor wrote the inscription and gave the plaque, and the Mu family was depressed to death, and he knelt happily to thank the Holy Grace.
