Seeing that Mu Li had no love, Minglan smiled and said, "Cousin, don't be bitter, Duan Yan wants to go back, it's not that I want to use it, it's my eldest uncle who wants to take Duan Yan as a gift, so that he can be promoted, if there is no Duan Yan and the promotion fails, I must blame me, of course, I won't let your cousin suffer, I asked my uncle for 5,000 taels of silver, which is considered to have bought Duan Yan."

Mu Li sighed, looked at the stones, and said, "What about these stones." ”

Minglan touched the stone and said, "These are red silk stones, which are used for inkstones, not that I brag, the red silk inkstone is better than the end inkstone." ”

Mu Li raised his forehead, "I've never heard of any red silk inkstone, can it really be compared with Duan Yan, isn't it fooling my cousin?"

In fact, he wanted to say, if you don't fool me, I will let you take it back.

Minglan smiled and raised three fingers and said, "If it is not better than Duan Yan, I will never step into the Muyang Marquis Mansion for half a step in my life." ”

"Don't ....... ”

Mu Li was afraid of her, and hurriedly said, "Isn't it just a piece of Duan Yan, and I swore that I will bring you back Duan Yan in a while, as for these stones, ......." ”

Minglan took the first step and smiled, "They are all carved into inkstones, the more delicate the better." ”

Mu Li raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when Mu Yanghou came over and said, "Just do it, where is so much nonsense." ”

Mu Li was depressed, his own father was really obedient, it would be nice if he could listen to him like this one day, he looked at Minglan and said, "I promise to carve these stones into the most exquisite inkstones, so many, I can carve a lot." ”

Duan Yan was coming back, Minglan asked the brocade box again, and said, "Did you find the brocade box?"

Mu Li glanced at Mu Zhen, and then shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet." ”

The light on Minglan's face dimmed for a moment, as if the night pearl was packed into an iron box, and the pearl was covered with dust.

Mu Zhen said, "Uncle will definitely help you get the brocade box back as soon as possible." ”

Minglan nodded, did not urge, so as not to embarrass his uncle, and saw that the hour was not early, so he said, "Then I will go back to the house first." ”

Mu Li's little servant sent the inkstone in a brocade box, Mu Li reluctantly handed it to Minglan, Minglan smiled, "Cousin, if you really don't like the red silk inkstone, I will definitely buy you another Duan inkstone, anyway, the money is still in my hand, I rarely give you good things, and I must not send it so unpleasant." ”

Mu Li smiled and sent Minglan out of the house.

While walking, he said, "Who stole the brocade box, it has been found out, it was Mu Jinghua who asked the maid to take it, but the brocade box was locked, she couldn't open it, and she was jealous of you for a while, so she threw the brocade box out of the Hou Mansion, and when we went to find it, the brocade box was gone." ”

Minglan's face was cold as if a layer of frost had condensed, and Mu Li said, "Father punished her to kneel in the Buddha Hall until she found the brocade box." ”

What she wants is not Mu Jinghua to kneel, what she wants is to get the brocade box back, Minglan wants to strangle her heart.

It took several deep breaths to make himself look less angry.

Riding in the carriage, Minglan went home again.

Bizhu hugged Duan Yan and followed cautiously, in the carriage, Minglan checked it, Duan Yan was intact, and there was no trace of use.

She went straight to Changsong Courtyard, the old lady and the eldest man were there, Minglan stepped forward and said, "Grandfather, I want Duanyan back." ”

She handed the inkstone to the old lady, the old lady sighed, opened the brocade box, confirmed that there was no problem with the inkstone, and handed it to the old man.

I bought it for five thousand taels of silver, and the old man was very painful.

Afraid that someone would take the lead, the eldest man took Duan Yan and other generous gifts, and went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry to give gifts.

When I came back, I had a smile on my face, because the Ministry of Industry had received it.

The next day, when Minglan went to Changsong Courtyard to greet the old lady, there was a lot of people in the main hall.

The wives of the four rooms have all arrived, including the Mu family.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu received the gift from the eldest master, and the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry has become more than half, this is a happy event, and it is natural to congratulate him.

The eldest lady couldn't close her mouth happily, you must know that the fifth grade and the fourth grade are two levels in a row, which is the most difficult, and the most important thing is that the fifth grade official can not enter the political palace to discuss matters, although the fourth grade is in the back, but it is also in front of the palace, and the emperor can talk to him, in case he is happy, and he will be on the rise from now on, just around the corner.

Therefore, the four products are a hurdle, and ordinary people can't get over it in their lifetime.

The eldest lady was very happy, but when she saw Minglan, the smile on her face was annihilated by three points, and when she looked at Minglan's eyes, it was as if she was looking at her five thousand taels of silver.

Knowing that she was distressed, Minglan pretended not to know, stepped forward to say hello one by one, and then said, "The Ministry of Industry Shangshu received the gift from the eldest uncle, and I was relieved, yesterday I walked and ran, limping, and my cousin joked that I didn't have the image of everyone's lady, and I was about to become a wild girl." ”

She knelt for two days, her knees were not complete, for Gu Yinlan's secret recipe, Baba went to Muyang Hou's Mansion, and later made a special trip to get Duan Yan, for their big house, she suffered a lot, and she still looked at her with such eyes, should it?

The eldest lady was dark, the old lady glanced over, she quickly changed her smiling face, got up and took Minglan's hand and said, "The eldest aunt knows that this time it is hard for you." ”

As she spoke, she faded the white jade bracelet on her wrist to Minglan's hand, which was regarded as a thank you gift to her.

Minglan was overjoyed when he saw it, and thanked him with a smile on his face, "Aunt Xie." ”

The bracelet is very good, but she is not rare, she likes the feeling of aggrieved that the eldest lady is obviously not happy, but has to give her a gift.

In the house, after everyone laughed, they discussed the matter, the mother of the boss's boss passed away, and the eldest lord and the eldest lady must go to mourn and give gifts, and they have to give a heavy gift.

The eldest lady took the gift list to the old lady to look at, and the old lady added two more pieces, and when the eldest lady came back, she went to Liu's mansion.

The Mu family didn't go together, the eldest lady went to mourn on behalf of the Bofu, she and Gu Shi went to be considered a personal relationship, and they could go tomorrow.

After sitting for a while, Mu went back to Youlan Garden, and Minglan accompanied her.

The mother and daughter walked around the garden, and when they saw that there was no one around, Mu smiled and said, "You asked the old lady for the secret recipe to recuperate her body, how did you take the credit for your mother?"

Minglan was next to her, reached out to touch the peony flower in front of her, and said with a smile, "Isn't mine my mother's?"

"Poor mouth!"

Mu Shi smiled, she knew that Minglan was for her good, since giving birth to Yunlan, the old lady rarely showed such a good face today, if it wasn't for the old lady who said the secret recipe, she would really think she was dreaming.

Thinking of the old lady, Mu sighed in her heart, she failed to give birth to a son-in-law for Gu She, she was sorry for the Gu family, and it was understandable for the old lady to treat her like this.

Even if the secret recipe can make the old lady happy for a while, sooner or later she will still dislike her, it is better to let her hurt Minglan more.

Mu Shi looked at Minglan and said, "There is still more than a month before the old lady's birthday banquet, and last year I said that this year will be a big event, can you prepare a birthday gift?"
