Chapter 247: Letter from the Capital

As soon as the first month passed, the weather slowly warmed up, and the masters changed their hats into cloaks, Mu Zhiyue sat in front of the window and looked at the howling wind outside, not wanting to go out at all.

The spring breeze froze, and there was dust everywhere, and she was stuffy in the house without anything else.

Mu Chenqi recognized more and more words, and on the second day of February, he was specially called by Mrs. Mu to take a test, and he deliberately wrote down the hundred or so words he knew, although there was no font, and even a little crooked, but this was enough for his grandfather to be pleased.

"The six girls have worked hard, thanks to you being more patient and careful than ordinary people, otherwise Brother Qi would not have made such great progress", Old Lady Mu sincerely admired.

Mu Zhiyue was a little shy when she was praised, and lowered her head and said: "Grandfather praised falsely, we are brothers and sisters, and these are what I should do."

What she said is true, in this society, if those married girls want to have a foothold in their in-laws' family, of course, the support of their mother's family is indispensable, but after all, their parents cannot live for a long time, so the brothers in the family are their dependence.

Although Mu Zhiyue doesn't want to rely on her brother, she also needs her brother to be able to stand up on his own, after all, she can't take care of him for a lifetime, and when her father is gone, who can treat him so sincerely.

Mu Jingyun next to him sneered secretly, a fool, even if he recognizes a few words, what can he do, do you still have to point him to the test to make a meritorious career.

It's just that you can't be too backward at this time, after all, it's a father's, and you're a sister, but you don't have a sister who is sensible, and your grandfather will definitely not like it.

"The granddaughter is also envious when she sees the fourth brother and the sixth sister so intimate, but Aunt Yan is not far from the day of childbirth, and the granddaughter is always worried about the heavy body, so she ignores the fourth brother and hopes that the fourth brother and the sixth sister will not blame", although she said this, it was clear that she was excusing herself.

Mu Chenqi didn't understand what a few people said, but he also knew that it was a good word, so he pulled Mrs. Mu to ask for a reward, "Yue'er too, she teaches me very hard every day, and my grandfather remembers to reward her."

Old lady Mu was in a good mood, and responded to Mu Chenqi's words with a smile.

When I returned to the study after dinner, someone came to report that I had received a reply from the eldest master, and the old lady Mu dismissed everyone and sat there alone and unfolded the letterhead.

Master Mu first talked about some of his views on the court situation, focusing on the recent frequent actions of the Min family, and even the saint couldn't stand it.

Even an in-law of the Min family was suppressed when he beat someone to death on the street, and the saint knew it but couldn't bear it, but according to his speculation, he was just waiting for the right opportunity to take down the entire Min family in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, the six princes didn't dare to be so blatant, and only made some small moves behind their backs, but they didn't have any leisure.

He also told Old Lady Mu to pay more attention to the affairs of the Han family, he always felt that the Han family was so fanfare, and what he lost must be something fatal, but he didn't know what this thing could help the Seventh Prince, so it was best to find a way to get it.

Finally, I talked about Mu Zhiyan's marriage, now that the tide is rising, and Mu Zhiyan has been away from Beijing for more than a year, the rumors about her are not as vigorous as they were at the beginning, and the four princes also hinted that she said that Yan Yatou is a heavenly person, and it is a pity to leave the capital.

He asked his father to ask the Seventh Prince if he had any ideas, if not, then Yan Yatou had better find a family with no family background but could protect her and settle down as soon as possible.

After reading the letter, Old Lady Mu slammed it on the table in front of him, his eyes were full of light, what is the fourth prince, and he dared to think about the granddaughter of his Mu family.

That's a ridiculous and unscrupulous lord, no one knows who in the capital, and there are too many concubines in his house to count, and when there are guests or defectors at home, the four princes will let them sleep together.

There was once a saying in the capital that "twelve sisters in front of the nine candlesticks, and the master stays drunk and entertained", which is about the four princes, but the emperor turned a blind eye by relying on the identity of the prince, so he has been presumptuous until now.

This virtuous toad wants to eat swans and covet the second girl, which is really hateful.

It seems that Mu Zhiyan's family affairs really can't be delayed any longer, and he is being targeted by that hungry wolf, in case they don't have to ask for a marriage decree or something one day, it will be too late.

That night, Mrs. Mu told Mrs. Mu about it, and Mrs. Mu sighed.

"If you don't look at it anymore, maybe you can really find a good one, otherwise it is okay if there is no family involvement in the guard, it is better than a businessman, and if you earn military merits in the future, you can still rank in the court", Mrs. Mu was especially struggling.

"You look at Yan Yatou's appearance, full of talent, how can you be willing to marry a mud leg, I think this Jin family is good, and I have heard a little about the background of his family, it seems to be a senior member of the military department, but the Jin family has always been secretive, so I haven't been able to find out who it is. ”

"With such a strong background, the backer can still fight steadily and steadily, and the Jin family should not be underestimated, and the military department is now in the hands of the saint, even if the people below want to overstep their authority and help any prince, they can't go beyond the emperor, so I don't think this family business can be better. ”

Old Madam Mu was silent when she heard this, and thought for a moment, "I still have to ask Yan Yatou's opinion on this matter, our daughters are all coquettish guests, and the old men are fighting hard outside but they can't let them be victims, so if Yan Yatou doesn't agree, she can only make another plan."

Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu have been together for decades, Mrs. Mu has been conscientiously taking care of the house and serving Mrs. Xian, and has helped him raise so many outstanding children.

Hearing this, he only nodded and said, "It's exactly this reason."

Mu Zhiyan was secretly entangled for several days, and he didn't know how to face Jin Lin now, so when Old Madam Mu told her the results of the discussion, she was stupid.

hesitated for a long time, and finally blushed and said, "But it's up to my grandfather and grandmother."

Mrs. Mu just wanted to try it, but she didn't think that she really agreed, and felt that she was dreaming for a while, in the past year, she and Yan Yatou have talked about five or six family affairs, and every time she said that she wanted to meet someone first, what happened today.

She said the doubts in her heart, and to the point where she was now, Mu Zhiyan didn't want to hide it, so she repeated what she had said to Mu Zhiyue that day.

"Why are you hiding such a big thing from me", Mrs. Mu looked incredulous, Yan Yatou had encountered such a thing back then, and even now it sounded terrifying.

"It's not a big deal, I'm afraid you won't say anything about it", Mu Zhiyan comforted.
