Chapter 164: On the Day of the Birthday Banquet
Mu Zhiyue considered that there were two days left on her grandfather's birthday, and it would not be good to have a gap with her aunt and grandmother at this time, after all, people were guests from afar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Mu Fengnian has been taken care of by Mrs. Tai for many years, and now that Mrs. Tai's concubine has returned to Fengyang, she has to grieve her grandson at her younger brother's house, how can there be good things in the future, just think about Mu Mansion.
As for the in-law family that my aunt and grandmother married, it is not a broken family, and it is also a famous family in Sichuan, and it has been in the local area for many years, and its strength should not be underestimated.
With the relationship between grandfather and aunt and grandmother, it must be harmonious and harmonious to be more beneficial to the Mu family.
That's why Mu Zhiyue boldly stopped Mrs. Mu from continuing to speak, and it was better to turn this matter into a small matter and a small matter.
"Second aunt, Cousin Tong didn't suffer any major injuries, but Brother Ran is three years younger than us after all, so don't worry about this matter", she tentatively reminded Mu Ting to focus on the overall situation.
Mu Ting hesitated for a moment before she died down as if she had made a decision, and Lu Mingtong wanted to say something more, but she was stopped by her reaction.
Mu Ting considered that the old man of the wooden frame was fortunate to be in a high position in the capital, which was the person she was most afraid of in the entire Mu family now.
Mrs. Mu is the mother of Master Mu, and she still gives this mother-in-law some face.
Zhao Shuran was still looking forward to the next storm, and he was ready to meet it, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by Mu Zhiyue's words.
Well, now all his friends have to be re-acquainted, and no one will tell him all the customs.
Seeing that this matter had finally passed, the worries in Mrs. Mu's heart disappeared, as long as they could pass the old lady's birthday banquet peacefully, they would make trouble as much as they liked.
My aunt and grandmother took their two grandchildren to live in the Mu family, and the next day was uneventful.
On the third day, the morning dawned, and Mu Zhiyue was picked up by the maid beside her early, and let them help groom and dress up without fully opening her eyes.
Finally arrived on Mrs. Mu's birthday, as a granddaughter, she naturally had to serve Mrs. Mu early.
The clothes and jewelry were prepared the night before, and Ling Yan helped Mu Zhiyue comb a simple vow, save a tender red silk flower, and pearl tassels.
The whole person immediately looked much more delicate, and with a bright yellow dress, it was as vivid as a dewy flower in the morning.
After all this was done, Mu Zhiyue had not completely sobered up, so Ling Yan could only follow her to Ciyan Hall with Su'er left and right, so that she could talk to her and make her feel more energetic.
Mrs. Mu also got up very early today, because she was busy entertaining guests today, so she deliberately forced herself to use more breakfast, so as not to get hungry before she could eat.
Slowly, there were more people in Ciyan Hall, Old Lady Mu and several masters of the Mu family greeted the male guests in the outer courtyard, and the female guests were welcomed in by several wives of the Mu Mansion one by one.
The first people to arrive were all people who had some official reputations in Fengyang City, but they were not obvious, including the eldest aunt Mu Zhen.
Mu Zhen also wanted to serve by his mother's side early, but Qin Ye's stomach was a little uncomfortable when he got up in the morning, so he didn't come out until this hour.
Although Mu Zhen arrived late, he had to stay in the inner room under the premise that several wives were outside to welcome guests.
For a while, I cared about the maid's refreshments not enough, and for a while, I cared that there were too many ice basins in the house, and then I told the little maid to keep an eye on the movement in the front yard.
There is no clutter at all, which shows that the usual master also has some means.
On the other hand, Mu Ting sat there waiting for others to greet her as a guest, as if she had long forgotten that although she was married, she was still surnamed Mu, and it was her biological father who was still living today.
At the right time, the people from the Han Mansion came, and Mrs. Han started to have stomach trouble today because she was greedy for cold and ate too much watermelon in the town, so she didn't come.
Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhao, Grandma Sun, and several girls from the Han family all came, and the daughters of the two families entrenched in Fengyang gathered together at this moment.
The burden of entertaining girls today finally fell on Mu Zhiyan, and Mu Jingyun didn't dare to accept such a thankless task now.
The wound that was scratched by Lu Mingtong the day before yesterday has not completely healed, so today she made up her mind to be an idler.
Since that day, Zhao Shuran seems to be very fond of sticking to Mu Zhiyue, so today, as a child, he was not taken to the outer courtyard where the male guests gathered, but always followed Mu Zhiyue like a little tail.
He said that he wanted to see his "daughter-in-law", but Mu Zhiyue didn't dare to let him publicize this, and only two people whispered.
For this Zhao Shuran, Mu Zhiyue didn't dare to treat her as an ordinary child, just by looking at what he said in Ciyantang that day, he knew that this child was also an insider.
Han Yao saw Mu Zhiyue from a long distance, there was no way, she was the only one in the Mu family who could make her want to intersect, so she walked over regardless of the crowd.
"Miss Mu Liu is polite", Han Yao's regular salute made Mu Zhiyue a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly bowed back.
"Did you find out anything when you were almost kidnapped a few days ago", Han Yao leaned over and asked.
She remembered that the county lord An Zhen said that Mu Zhiyue had asked the kidnappers back to the Mu Mansion and planned to interrogate them herself.
Mu Zhiyue shook her head, "I've only checked halfway, and I haven't found out who harmed me yet."
Han Yao sneered, "The efficiency of your house is too low, and you can't find the mastermind behind the scenes."
She was definitely not ridiculing, she was simply stating a fact.
Of course Mu Zhiyue knew, but the second aunt didn't let herself interfere, so she could only wait obediently for her to find out and give herself an explanation.
But in fact, Mu Zhiyue still has someone she doubts in her heart, that is, Aunt Yan, after all, in the five directions, her brother and sister are the most obstructive to her eyes.
Besides, there are already some clues, and this matter is inseparable from Bai Lu, and the one who has the most contact with Bai Lu is the maid in Aunt Yan's room.
It's just that Mu Zhiyue can't say these things clearly, otherwise the second aunt will definitely feel that she doesn't trust her.
"Let's not talk about this, I haven't thanked her properly when Lord Anzhen saved me that day, I don't know how long she will stay in Fengyang", Mu Zhiyue had some likes in addition to her gratitude to Lord Anzhen.
"She will stay for a few more days, after all, there are only a handful of days when she can come to Fengyang, but the third prince is about to leave."
Zhou Heng probably left Fengyang in order to avoid him, why couldn't the third prince stay as soon as he left on his front foot.
"The third prince's illicit salt case has been investigated?" asked Mu Zhiyue seemingly casually.
"Not yet, but this matter is getting more and more difficult to do, I don't know who stabbed this thing out, and now the entire Jiangnan salt industry is in chaos."
