Mrs. An knew that Mulan was not the kind of unruly child, but a well-bred son would not fight for her for no reason. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info asked her to come over, and what she wanted to ask was nothing more than whether she and Li Cang had any dealings in private.

Mulan and Li Cang have only met three times, the first time is in Changjia Villa, the second time is on the street, and the third time is at her birthday banquet, which is an unexpected encounter for her.

“…… My grandmother knew all these things, and I really didn't have any dealings with Mr. Li, but I exchanged gifts with Miss Li and passed several letters. Miss Li is quiet and polite, and she is by no means the kind of person who will talk nonsense about the affairs of the boudoir. ”

Mrs. An understood what Mulan wanted to say, and her impression of Mrs. Li and the Li family's children was also very good, and she believed that Li Xi would not be able to do anything behind her back to match her brother and handkerchiefs. Li Cang will stand up for Mulan, but I am afraid that it is also a young man who has heard about it and made it impulsively, without considering the consequences.

"Since it has nothing to do with you, let's just pretend not to know. We are now women, and we have to face a lot of criticism, so you must be more cautious in what you say and act in the future. ”

"Yes, my granddaughter wrote it down. Mulan replied respectfully.

Mrs. An nodded, and said, "The business you mentioned to me last time, you can do it if you want." ”

She changed the topic too abruptly, Mulan was stunned for a moment, and she still couldn't believe her ears, "Grandmother, do you agree with me to make money by selling patterns?"

"If you think about it carefully, you have a point, I can't take care of you for the rest of your life, and you have to go your own way in the future. Mrs. An looked at Mulan softly, as if she wanted to say something, but finally just sighed softly.

It is not easy for a woman to stand up to the door, she has always known this. Not long after the news of the recruitment was released, many incidents occurred, and I am afraid that this road will become more and more difficult in the future.

Now most of the people who are willing to take the initiative to come up are Anqingzhong, Yu and the like, and what they covet is nothing more than the reputation and wealth of the Guogong Mansion. The remaining half, even if it is not the fat of the Guogong Mansion, wants to use the Guogong Mansion as a springboard to get other things you want.

Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, she was born with the naked eye of a mortal fetus, how can she see through all people's hearts through her skin? Blocking An Qingzhong's family and Wang Qingzhong's family may not be able to stop Li Qingzhong and Zhang Qingzhong's family. What if you look away and pick a white-eyed wolf?

If she is alive, she can still help the family house in Mulan Town, but what will happen after she dies? Mulan is certainly smart enough, but others have calculations, how can they prevent it? If she can't keep the eaves of the Guogong Mansion to shelter from the wind and rain, how can a helpless child live?

Although she didn't want to admit it, the glory of the Xie family's hundreds of years of fighting with a knife and a gun had long since disappeared with the unjust and tragic death of Duke Jieguo. She gritted her teeth and held it up, but it was just an empty shell.

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, the treasury was empty, and he never returned a cent of the confiscated property of the Xie family, but he was given some rewards that were not useful. The expenses of a huge Guogong Mansion are all maintained by those Zhuangzi and her dowry.

Although the situation of the imperial court has improved slightly, there are still many holes to be filled, and the tribute of the knights, the edicts and the fiefdoms cannot be counted on. Zhuangzi's income is limited, and her dowry will be sold out one day.

It is already aggrieved enough to ask the child who should marry into a high family to enjoy happiness, is it because of her stubbornness that the child will not even be able to eat in the future?

Now in such a situation, what qualifications does she have to look down on Shang Jia, and what kind of person is pretending to be high? She is old and can't move anymore, so let Mulan stand up early. As this girl said, no matter how much she plans, it is not as good as the ability to make money to support her family.

Mulan didn't expect Mrs. An to agree so happily, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, thanked her again and again, and asked for instructions while the iron was hot: "If you want to do business, you have to sign the deed." Grandmother, can I leave the house these two days?"

"This is your home, you can go out if you want to go out, you don't have to ask me. But you have a daughter's family, you have to be careful when you go out, and bring a few more people with you. If you don't understand something, tell Hongyu and ask her to find someone who knows how to guide you. ”

Mrs. An rarely asked these trivial things, and Mulan realized that she and Mrs. An were sick alone, and they became much closer unconsciously. He agreed, but he didn't go looking for Ruby.

She wants to save a private house, and it's better not to ask Hongyu to interfere in business matters. Although Ruby has no bad intentions, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

Now that he has obtained the permission of Mrs. An, there is nothing to worry about. When he returned to Yu Ting Pavilion, he wrote a letter and handed it to Heshou to send to Yizhen Pavilion. Heshou brought a reply from the shopkeeper Han and made an appointment with her to meet at the Yizhen Pavilion tomorrow.

Pan Yun witnessed a bloody killing, and was so frightened that he fell ill, and after he recovered from his illness, he still couldn't lift his spirits. Mulan had the heart to take her out to evacuate, but she still ordered her to accompany her. Because he wanted to sign the deed to settle the accounts, he called both Ruixi and Comb.

For the convenience of walking, Mulan and Pan Yun still dressed up as men. Ruixi and Comb Cai are too delicate, and they don't look like men's clothes, and they also dress up as girls. After breakfast, he ordered the carriage room to prepare the carriage, and then he took the escort out and came.

It was still early before the appointed hour, and the master and servant got out of the car at the previous street corner and walked around. Men and women are inevitably eye-catching, Mulan and Panyun are in front, and Ruixi and Comb Cai are separated by a distance.

It was past the morning market, and the weather was very cold, and there were not many people on the street. The vendor on the side of the road saw that Mulan was dressed well, and took out twelve points of courtesy, "This son, come and take a look, the best rouge, made of chrysanthemums that bloom this autumn, is fragrant, fine and smooth, buy a box." ”

"Childe, let's have a bowl of steamed dumplings, there are fish, duck and pork, the skin is thin, the filling is full of fresh soup, and you will have fun eating haha. ”

……

Pan Yun was listless at first, but after shopping for a while, he had a mental head. I watched for a long time in front of the stall selling bamboo utensils and picked a flute. Mulan saw that she liked it, but when she wanted to learn to blow and beat, she bought it for her.

Comb Cai was only interested in eating, ate sugar gourds, bought wosi candy, and stared at fried cakes and drooled. Ruixi got Mulan's order to buy whatever they liked. It's hard to come out once, and I won't stop her, just follow behind and pay.

After walking and stopping for half a street, a young man dressed as a small guy came and blocked Mulan's way, "Dare to ask if this is Xie Gongzi?"

Mulan was surprised when she heard him say her surname, and she didn't know whether she should or shouldn't for a while.

The little guy didn't wait for her to answer, so he bowed down and said, "My son-in-law is sitting in the teahouse over there, and I want to ask my son-in-law to go over." ”

Seeing his respectful attitude, Mulan became more and more curious, "Who is your son-in-law?"
