Chapter Fifty-Nine: Old Lady Cui
Mu Zhiyue remembered this person, he was a capable person, "I remember that there is only one mother-in-law who guards the second door in our courtyard, I think this mother-in-law Jin is good, I will call her over and ask, if she is willing, she will find the second aunt to transfer her to the inner courtyard."

Ling Yan didn't understand why the girl even arranged the work of a gatekeeper, but even if it was the girl's order, she could only do it without discount, so she kept the matter in mind.
The porter heard that it was the Mu family's cousin who came, so he hurriedly threw down the broom and went in to say goodbye, and after a while, he brought a servant woman out and unloaded the door panel to let the Mu family's carriage in.
Of course, the mansion of Cui Mansion is not as big as the Mu family, but the population of Cui Mansion is also small, Mu Zhiyue has a total of three uncles, the eldest uncle and the third uncle are the same as their mothers, and only the second uncle is a concubine.
My grandfather was originally a Tongzhi of Fengyang Mansion, but he had been doing nothing, so he sat in the position of Tongzhi until he died. Several uncles are not talented, only the second uncle has found a judge from the seventh grade of the unknown state capital, and took the second aunt and two children to take office, and it can be regarded as a separate court.
And the Cui family also gradually declined after the death of his grandfather, and now the only second uncle with an official body is not in Fengyang, and the third uncle has nothing to do all day and has no ability to make money, so he has not separated the family, so now the Cui Mansion is the eldest uncle and the third uncle live together.
The eldest aunt from afar greeted her, Mrs. Mu Wu was originally married, and now the Cui family is like this, and the two families cannot be compared, and Mu Zhiyue's identity is superior.
"Why didn't my cousin say a word and came, and we didn't arrange for anyone to go out to greet you, it's really rude", Mrs. Cui arrived before she arrived, and it was very loud in this silent morning.
Mu Zhiyue had already gotten out of the carriage, bowed slightly and said, "It's because Zhiyue is ignorant, she came over without asking someone to say hello first, and it's true that my aunt doesn't blame me."
Mrs. Cui was looking forward to the Mu family coming soon to solve the matter, but it would be Mu Zhiyue, a little girl, who came unexpectedly, but when she heard that there was a person who looked like a shopkeeper who followed her cousin, she felt a little relieved.
Her original intention was not to offend the Mu family, those shops were not profitable, and those servants were not happy to sell them.
It's just that the third child said that his aunt is very good at doing business, if he wants to rectify his aunt's shop, it is entirely possible to run this half-dead shop well, if so, his own people may have some benefits in the shop.
The Cui family has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and if she can rely on her aunt's shop to make some progress, it will be a good thing for everyone in the Cui family, so she didn't say anything.
Mu Zhiyue went to visit her grandmother with Mrs. Cui, and remembered that her grandmother seemed to have passed away this winter, and she had just come out of her mother's filial piety when she met her grandmother's Xiaogong and served her mourning for five months.
In the main room of Cui's house, Mrs. Cui is leaning on a soft collapse, and a big girl helps her massage her back.
Seeing that Mu Zhiyue was coming, Mrs. Cui waved her hand to stop the maid, and greeted Mu Zhiyue kindly: "Zhiyue is here, come here, come and sit here with my grandmother."
Mu Zhiyue walked over obediently, her grandmother seemed to be in good spirits, but her face was unusually white and delicate, which was caused by the fact that she often did not see the sun.
"Grandmother hasn't seen you for half a year, it seems that she has lost some weight", Mrs. Cui stretched out her withered hand and grabbed Mu Zhiyue's hand, in fact, her hand was thinner than Mu Zhiyue's.
"Well, it's hot, and I don't like to eat much", Mu Zhiyue made an excuse.
The old lady stiffened her face and said, "That's not good, you have to eat a little more, how can this be good without a fleshy body."
Mu Zhiyue nodded and said, "Okay, I will listen to my grandmother, and I will definitely eat more and grow a lot of meat when I go back", she didn't want an elder who had little time to worry about her, although the two grandparents didn't have much contact.
The old lady pulled Mu Zhiyue and said some words, and finally talked about the topic to Mrs. Mu Wu's dowry: "Zhiyue, you also know that when your mother got married, your grandfather and I were afraid that she would not have confidence in the Mu family, so we gave her a dowry of the better Zhuangzi shop in the family."
The old lady Cui didn't have much strength in bed all the year round, so she was a little out of breath after only talking for a while, and Mu Zhiyue hurriedly took the teapot on the low table on the side and brought the old lady a cup of tea.
Mrs. Cui has been sitting next to her without saying a word, at this time she does not dare to talk nonsense, everything has to wait for the master to come to decide.
Mrs. Cui finished drinking the whole cup of tea before she felt a little more relieved, and continued: "Although the shop was given to her, the people in the shop are still from the Cui family. These people are all old people who have been with the Cui family all their lives, and the Cui family can't let them fall behind."
Mrs. Cui's words were sincere, Mu Zhiyue felt uncomfortable when she heard it, her grandmother was a kind-hearted person, she hoped that everyone would be well, but some people didn't understand your kindness, and would only treat your kindness as weakness and bully.
But she didn't know what to say to her grandmother.
Fortunately, at this time, a maid came in and told her that the eldest and third masters were coming, and Mu Zhiyue breathed a sigh of relief, and only comforted her grandmother to rest assured that there would definitely be a good solution.
Coaxed the old lady, Mu Zhiyue got up to greet the two uncles and Cui San's grandmother who came in behind Cui Sanye, Cui San's grandmother stepped forward with a smile and helped Mu Zhiyue and said: "It's all a family, how can there be so many politeness." ”
Uncle Cui was a man who was lifted when he was young, and he was also famous, but he gave up after repeated attempts, and later took over the family's industry and barely supported Cui's house.
Cui Sanye is an idler, learning from those rich children to tease chickens and dogs all day long, but he is very filial to his grandmother
The two uncles hurried here when they heard that Mu Zhiyue had brought a shopkeeper over, and after seeing Mrs. Cui, Cui Sanye asked Mu Zhiyue in a low voice if he could let the shopkeeper talk to them.
Mu Zhiyue looked back at her grandmother, who was already out of spirits, turned around and said, "Grandmother, you rest for a while, and I'll go out to talk to my uncle."
Then he instructed Xiao Zhuo to hand over the century-old ginseng he received from his second aunt this morning to Mrs. Cui, the Cui family has spent a lot on the old lady's illness over the years, plus a large family of people to eat and drink, only rely on Uncle Cui alone, and the constraints of the days can be imagined.
Seeing this excellent old mountain ginseng, Mrs. Cui San praised it again and again, and said that the Mu family was able to get this good thing.
Mu Zhiyue had almost no contact with her third aunt before, but she remembered that after her grandmother went in her previous life, her third aunt had split up many times, and the condition put forward was that she almost wanted all the property of the Cui family, and combined with what she said, she was really childish and uninformed, so she didn't want to say anything more to her.
After serving her grandmother to rest, and calling a maid to fan beside her, Mu Zhiyue walked out lightly, and Mrs. Cui San hurriedly followed out when she saw this.
