Chapter 141: The Draft
The house only reconciled the accounts yesterday, and Mulan knew that the problem was just an excuse, so she didn't do it again. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info sent away An Qingzhong's family, and went straight to An Laotaijun's courtyard, and when he saw Hongyu, he asked, "Grandmother is okay?" ”
"Girl, don't worry, Taijun is fine, but he is used to being pure, just take a rest." Hongyu hinted that Mrs. An was arguing.
Yu's mouth couldn't stop for a moment, if he just chatted about the family and talked about interesting anecdotes, he was either crying poor, or he was trying to paste it up, how could he not be tired of dealing with it?
Mulan understood, so she didn't bother Mrs. An, pulled Hongyu and said, "Aunt Hong, I have something to ask you, let's talk a few words?" ”
"Even if the girl has something to say, where can I use the word 'ask for advice', won't it break me?" Hongyu was polite, and had already guessed what she was going to ask, so she invited her to her own room and served refreshments.
Mulan sent Ruixi and the others out, and sure enough, she asked about Anqingzhong's family.
Before the appearance of Anqingzhong's family, Mrs. An never even mentioned a word about the Jiangzhou family. Hongyu didn't know much either, only knew that An Qingzhong was the son of Mrs. An's cousin, the second in line, with a brother at the top and two brothers at the bottom.
Mrs. An originally worked as a county magistrate in a small county town in Cangzhou, which is close to Jiangzhou and is a rich land. After ascending the throne, the Holy One rectified the officialdom, and all those who donated and bought officials were dismissed. Mrs. An not only called for errands, but even confiscated the belongings she had saved over the years.
Mrs. An also had three brothers, and each room gave birth to a string of children. Because Mrs. An's uncle is still alive, he has never separated from the family. There is no other source, only relying on hundreds of acres of sacrificial land to feed a huge family, and life is naturally tight.
Some of these things were guessed by Yu's bald, and some were guessed by Hongyu herself. As for how much water was mixed in Yu's words, it is unknown.
Mulan had a bad impression of Anqingzhong's family, and after hearing this, she was even more disgusted from the bottom of her heart. There is a sacrificial field in Jiangzhou's hometown, and there is a large group of clansmen to rely on, so it is far from being cornered. They all have hands and feet, what to do to make a living can't make a living, why bother to come all the way to the capital and join a lonely old lady?
To put it nicely, it is to defect, and to say it ugly, it is to look at the fact that there is no one in the Guogong Mansion, and it is taken by skill.
It is impossible for Mrs. An to come up with the things that she can figure out, but this family came out and went in the Guogong Mansion, kept food, and promised to help An Yusong find a place to study, what does this mean?
Thinking in his heart, he asked, "Honggu, grandmother is back...... Are you planning to hang out with your cousin's family often? ”
Hongyu understood what she meant, and sighed softly, "Taijun is doing this for the sake of the girl. ”
"For me?" Mulan frowned in confusion.
"yes." Honggu nodded, told her all the words that Mrs. An said, "It's not hot", and sighed, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't talk about this matter alone, but no matter how I look at it, I think my cousin's family must disappoint Taijun."
Now I just hope that the girl can grow up quickly, find a reliable husband, and support the world of our Guogong Mansion. When the time comes, no matter whether it is a cousin or an aunt, no one can make up their minds. ”
Mu Lan's heart was a little shocked, to be honest, after coming for many days, she still has no sense of belonging to the Guogong Mansion, what she thinks about during the day and dreams about at night are all the people who guard Zhen Island and the narrow cave. Sometimes, she even thinks it's not as intimate as a fishing village.
The relationship with Mrs. An is not deep, except for the respect for the elderly, there is only pity left. was supposed to be a heroine like Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying, but she was miserable for half her life and ended up alone, which made people sigh and sigh.
She never thought that Mrs. An would be so anxious about her, and even considered the aftermath.
Seeing that she was moved, Hongyu reached out and patted the back of her hand, "Girl, don't let down Taijun's hard work." ”
"I'll save it." Mulan nodded, "Thank you Honggu for mentioning it." ”
But she really doesn't need Anqingzhong's family to help, and she doesn't need to spend money to train them, this kind of relative who only eats and doesn't vomit like a greedy snake is better to send it away as soon as possible.
After sitting for a moment, he resigned. When I returned to Yu Ting Pavilion, I saw Danlu and a few people pouring things. I thought it was put away before, but when I heard that An Xue was gone and was busy swinging out, I couldn't help but laugh. called Danlu again to ask who the clothes An Xue wore belonged to. Instructed Ruixi to open the treasury and pick a piece of good material to reward for combing.
Comb Cai took the material and thanked him happily, and then hurriedly went back to the room to cut clothes. The material of bright silk jacquard does not need to spend more needles and threads, and it is very eye-catching to tie a few flowers on the placket, cuffs and skirt corners. A few girls who were not on duty came to help, but they did it in an afternoon, and they were more attentive than the original.
Baofu was wronged and received a reward of money. She was anxious about Anxue in her heart, and she didn't want to keep it, so she used the money to order a few dishes from the stove in the evening, and held a small banquet with her good sisters. When Mulan heard about it, she gave them two dishes and two plates of dim sum.
asked the An family to make peace, and she didn't have time to visit Zhao Chonghua. wrote a letter and asked a mother-in-law to send it to Zhao's mansion.
On the second day, Yu came to the house under the banner of visiting the sick, and Mrs. An was impatient to entertain her, and Mulan couldn't be separated from class, so she asked Hongyu to send people away.
When I came, I brought a few worthless medicinal herbs in exchange for a basket of pears, a few boxes of snacks, and a few pairs of live chickens and ducks. I also asked cheekily, but I can find a place for their brother Song to study.
Although Hongyu had long lost hope for the clan, she still couldn't help but sulk. Looking for a restaurant can't be dotted? Entering the museum must not prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony? He didn't even mention it. I was dissatisfied, so I deliberately dragged it out. It is equivalent to the family coming again, only saying that the person is asking for inquiring.
By mid-June, the weather was getting hotter. The palace gave ice, and the one in the Guogong Mansion was thicker than the others. Mrs. An is too old to be greedy, and Mulan can't use that much by herself. If you have enough for the stove, you will give it to the people below to ward off the heat.
Mrs. An only took special care of the saints, and never thought of going to the top next to her. Two days later, Mrs. Chang suddenly handed over the post. When the heat receded a little, the light car Jane came from the house, and when he saw that Mrs. An said a few polite words, he said the purpose of the trip, "Taijun has heard that the palace is preparing for the draft?" ”
Mrs. An was a little surprised, "It's not too early or too late, which show did you choose?" ”
