Chapter 58: The Cui family obstructed
Mu Zhiyue ignored Mu Jingyun who was following behind her, she didn't have any secrets that she couldn't hear, and if it was really a secret, the maid would still say it with great fanfare, and she couldn't keep it anymore. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The little maid's name is Qianying, and she has been waiting here for a long time, and when she saw the sixth girl and the third girl coming together, she didn't say anything else, only that the fifth master asked someone to bring a message to Uncle Zhong, which was about the sixth girl, and Uncle Zhong was waiting for the girl in the master's study.
Uncle Zhong still has some status among the subordinates of the Mu Mansion, even Mu Jingyun didn't dare to despise him, so she put away the curiosity in her heart and said: "Sixth sister, let's go over and see what my father has brought, I'll go back first, if there is anything you need help, just ask."
Mu Zhiyue didn't say anything polite to her, even if she did, she wouldn't find Mu Jingyun if she really needed help.
The little maid led the way in front, and Mu Zhiyue quickly Mu Jingyun returned to Fangxi Courtyard in one step, and went straight to his father's study.
Sure enough, it was not Uncle Zhong standing in the study, but the shopkeeper of Lu Da.
Just now she had already guessed that if it was Uncle Zhong, he could wait at the gate of the West Garden, how could he find the inner courtyard and let a little maid come out to her.
The shopkeeper Lu Da had already arrived at noon, and only then did he wait for Mu Zhiyue to come back, he didn't have any extra nonsense, and said directly after seeing the ceremony: "Sixth girl, there is a little problem in the shop."
Mu Zhiyue raised her eyebrows, it was only two days apart, why did there be a problem.
The shopkeeper of Lu Da explained: "The little one has already started to arrange the clearance of the shop in the past two days, and several Zhuangzi have also hung signs on the brokers."
He paused and said, "It's just that the little one was blocked by his uncle when he was clearing the account room in the shop."
"Uncle? Which uncle? Mu Zhiyue didn't expect that this matter would also involve her grandfather's family.
"It's the third uncle. Early this morning, the third uncle brought someone over, saying that this shop was the fifth wife's dowry, but the people in the shop were all from the Cui family, and most of the people who could be arranged in the dowry shop were born from the family, and the family relied on the Cui family to eat and drink. Now that the fifth wife is gone, we are going to cut off other people's livelihoods, is this immoral", the shopkeeper Lu explained what happened succinctly.
Mu Zhiyue didn't expect that what she wanted to do would be hindered by her grandfather's family, this was originally her mother's dowry, and her mother would naturally leave it to herself when she went.
But she forgot that ordinary people, for fear that their girls would be wronged in their husband's family, most of the Zhuangzi shops that accompanied the marriage would choose people from their own families. If you hold the deed of sale of these people in your own hands, these people will only be loyal to the girls of their own family, and will not betray the lord to help the husband's family to seek the girl's dowry.
Now that this matter is in her hands, it has become a resistance, there are more than ten places in the mother's wedding shop, and most of the people in it are from the Cui family, and now these people are going to be driven back, not to mention that the Cui family is no longer what it used to be, even in the heyday, it can't accept so many mouths at once.
Lu Da's shopkeeper said again: "The third uncle also said that the fifth master is a person who walks for tea and coolness, and now that the fifth wife is gone, he wants to completely cut off the relationship with the Cui family." ”
This is a little ugly, my father was reluctant to interfere in the marriage of his mother, for fear of being criticized, it was she who persuaded her father to hand over this matter to herself, and now she still caused trouble for her father.
Mu Zhiyue thought about it, this matter can't be delayed, otherwise there will be a conflict between her father and her grandfather's family, which everyone doesn't want to see.
So he said to the shopkeeper of Lu, "There is a shopkeeper of Lao Lu, you let me for a day, it is late today, tomorrow I will go to my grandfather's house to explain the situation and find a solution, stop in advance on the other side of the shop, you wait for my news."
After thinking about it for a while, the shopkeeper Lu still had doubts about Mu Zhiyue's ability, what could she do as an eight-year-old girl, not to mention dealing with the fifth lady's mother's family, so Mao recommended herself: "Can the sixth girl go to Cui's Mansion tomorrow and bring the little one with her?" ”
Mu Zhiyue actually had this intention for a long time, her own age was too young, and what she said had no prestige, if she took the shopkeeper Lu with her, it would definitely be better than herself, so she readily agreed.
When she asked her grandmother to say goodbye that night, Mu Zhiyue went to Ciyan Hall early, and her grandmother knew that she wanted to take care of her mother's marriage, so now that she wanted to go out, she naturally told Mrs. Mu clearly.
Since Mrs. Mu promised Fifth Master Mu to let Mu Zhiyue take care of the fifth wife's dowry, she just held the attitude of being a live horse doctor, she thought that Mu Zhiyue was just talking casually, but she didn't want this girl to really make a big move.
Of course, after listening to Mu Zhiyue's advice, she will not stop it, this is a good thing, let the six girls also experience experience, she has no mother, and she can't teach her these things, so she can only rely on herself step by step.
It's just that I still have to tell two sentences: "When you go to Cui's Mansion, don't go to your uncle first to theorize this, go and see your grandmother first, if you have any hardships to complain to her, she will persuade your third uncle to talk better than you as a child."
What grandmother said was exactly what Mu Zhiyue thought in her heart, so she responded.
Mrs. Mu said again: "Find your second aunt to go to the treasury to get some good things over, your grandmother has been in bed for many years, this precious medicinal material must cost a lot, I remember that we still have a few century-old ginseng in the warehouse, you brought one over."
Mu Zhiyue's maternal grandfather, Mrs. Cui, has passed away for almost ten years, and within three years, Mrs. Cui fell and broke her leg when she went to the temple to incense on a snowy day, and she never got up again.
Mu Zhiyue gratefully bowed to Mrs. Mu: "Thank you grandmother for your thoughts, granddaughter will definitely bring your words"
Old Madam Mu squinted her eyes slightly and waved her hand, "I'm a person whose loess is about to be buried in my neck, what's the use of pointing at others to read my good, you just have to say that it's your own filial piety."
Mu Zhiyue held back the tears in her eyes and nodded vigorously, her grandmother had been planning for herself for the rest of her life for the past few years.
On the second day, Mu Zhiyue took leave in the primary school, packed up early, and took the maid to Xicheng in the black lacquered flat-topped carriage arranged by the Chen family.
In view of the last horse incident, the second lady did not dare to slack off this time, and arranged four servants who followed the car and eight attendants, for fear that there would be any more accidents.
Mu Zhiyue and the shopkeeper Lu made an appointment to meet in front of Cui's house, so the shopkeeper Lu did not accompany him, he lived in Xicheng, closer to the Cui family.
Nothing happened on this road like last time, and I arrived outside the gate of Cui's Mansion safely.
Lu Da's shopkeeper had already arrived, and he had been waiting for Mu Zhiyue not far from Cui's Mansion, and when he saw that Mu's carriage was coming, he handed over the horse to the young man who came with him, and he stepped forward to greet Mu Zhiyue.
In front of Cui's house, the porter was cleaning the dust on the ground under the eaves, and he didn't care when he saw a carriage coming, who would have thought that there would be guests coming to the door early in the morning, and he didn't know that it was really from home until the carriage stopped.
A servant woman who followed the car stepped forward and said to him: "We belong to the Mu family, and the lady from the house is sitting in the car, please let the little brother report it."
Mu Zhiyue heard that the voice of the servant woman was a little familiar, so she asked Ling Yan which one she was talking about, Ling Yan opened the curtain and looked at it and said with a smile: "This is Mrs. Jin, the last time the girl was startled, she followed out, and also commanded the big guy not to panic, and then she was one of the people who pinched the girl to wake up the girl."
