Chapter 137: Coming to the door
Does Aunt Zhang still want to take her married daughter back to her parents' house to raise?
Aunt Zhang glanced at her and said with some hesitation, "Old lady, in fact, Mingyue and my uncle will be like this today, all because my aunt is eager to succeed and will be deceived." ”
The old lady frowned, her expression was dazed, she really didn't understand what Aunt Zhang meant. Could it be that those two people were cheated out of all their money?
She looked at Aunt Zhang quietly, "How can my aunt be earnest?" She thought, this is the real purpose of Aunt Zhang's begging for her today.
Aunt Zhang glanced at her quickly, and whispered, "My uncle studied seriously to take the imperial examination before, but someone in the invigilator had a problem, and my uncle was invalidated...... That's why I found a way to ...... later."
The old lady was stunned, "He wants to find a way to donate money to the official?" ”
Aunt Zhang lowered her head in shame under her cold scrutinizing eyes, "Hmm." ”
The old lady gasped and was silent for a moment, not knowing who to blame.
In fact, she has always intended to seek an official position for Yan or Shi, but her son is a tendon who sticks to principles in some things.
She sighed and looked at Aunt Zhang with heavy eyes, "You can let me think about this." ”
The tone is a little heavy and a little helpless, and it doesn't have the courage of the past at all.
Aunt Zhang glanced at her worriedly, and the corner of her eye swept over the teacup on the table next to her.
Isn't that going to work? It doesn't make sense, the old lady's heart is still towards her and Mingyue, is this really so difficult? Maybe she should try again?
Aunt Zhang left Suxi Hall full of worries, thinking seriously for a long time, and felt that if the old lady felt very embarrassed, it must be because the old lady's attitude was very tough.
When she returned to Piaoxue Pavilion and entered her room, she couldn't help but sigh, and whispered helplessly to herself, "Mingyue, my mother can only help you do this, whether things can be done or not, you can only see his creation." ”
When Mu Tianda returned to the mansion, it was already dark, and he had something on his mind, so he plunged into the study as soon as he came back.
From time to time, I think about the sad face I saw under the veil today, and on the other hand, I think about the news I have heard people talk about from time to time recently.
It is said that there is a young man who has a character and repents of money, and he often sets up a stall near Kinmen to sell calligraphy and paintings, and often helps the elderly around him to do some good deeds, and often donates part of the proceeds from selling calligraphy and paintings to some elderly people living in poverty......
He looked up, looked at the straight green bamboo outside the window, and muttered in a low voice, "Should I go against my principles and help them once?" ”
Fenglin Ju, Mu Xiaofeng knew that his father would be bored in the study when he returned home, and knew that he would not come over to have dinner with his mother tonight.
After the waiter Zhao finished taking the medicine and fell asleep, Mu Xiaofeng returned to his boudoir and sat down next to the chair, before calling Leng Yue, "Tell me, did the master see anyone today?" ”
Leng Yue looked at her in surprise and admiration, and then said, "Miss, master, he went to the area of Jinshui Bridge today." ”
Mu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, and then sneered thoughtfully, "It seems that Daddy met her by chance." ”
"You stand down and let the red shadow in."
Leng Yue turned around and went out without hesitation, and soon Hongying walked in gently, "Miss, are you looking for a slave?" ”
Mu Xiaofeng didn't look at her, but glanced out the window, her eyes were very bright, but her expression was very cold.
"What I asked you to prepare, we can do tomorrow."
Hongying silently filtered it in her heart to make sure that there was nothing missing in her arrangement, and then responded, "Yes, miss, the slave will arrange things properly." ”
The girl waved her hand, and the red shadow blessed her body and withdrew.
"It seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and many people are tossing and turning for tomorrow's affairs, right?"
After the red shadow withdrew, Qingruo walked into the house, looked at her slender and lonely figure, and heard her muttering to herself, and her heart hurt inexplicably, "Miss, the hour is not early, you can rest quickly." ”
Mu Xiaofeng turned his head and looked at the figure who was busy laying out the futon beside the bed, and he didn't feel a little embarrassed.
Tonight may be destined to be a sleepless night for others, but for her, it must be a dreamless night.
The next day was Mu Tianda's rest day, and after breakfast, the old lady sent someone to invite him to Suxi Hall.
And Aunt Zhang has always been accustomed to serving beside the old lady, so she had breakfast and went to Suxi Hall.
"Tianda," the old lady beckoned Mu Tianda to sit on her left side, and looked at him with a kind face, "haven't you been busy with public affairs lately?" But even if you're really busy, take a break. ”
Mu Tianda listened quietly, and he usually tried his best to sit and listen to her gossip, only occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.
"Don't worry, mother, I'll pay attention."
"You've always been sensible, I'm really relieved." The old lady had nothing to say, as if she recalled the past, forgetting that the sons in front of her had entered middle age, and he was already the father of several children, "By the way, how is Zhao's body recently?" It's really hard for her to be sick all these years. ”
It's hard for her to stay up like this all the time, not to live or to die!
Mu Tianda raised his head in surprise, and his eyes instantly became slightly wet, "Mother? ”
Even his voice trembled a little with excitement, it was the first time in so many years that he had heard the words of care for Ziyue from his mother.
"What, isn't her illness getting better?" Seeing this, the old lady suppressed her unhappiness, and only pretended not to know and asked more questions.
"No, she's fine," Mu Tianda shook his head excitedly, thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "I mean, her condition has not deteriorated. ”
The old lady smiled reluctantly and nodded, "It's a good thing that it hasn't deteriorated, maybe it's completely better that day." ”
When Mu Tianda heard such heartwarming words, he was almost moved to tears.
"Mother, I thought I was ...... in this life"
"Xiaofeng has seen the old lady and father." At the door, the purple-clothed girl made a coquettish call, interrupting Mu Tianda, who was moved by the old lady's easy words.
She saluted loudly, and then walked into the room quickly, and the first two of them were blessed.
When the old lady saw that it was her, she frowned unhappily, "Why does the eldest lady have time to come over today?" ”
Isn't it just about serving Zhao Ziyue's sick tuberculosis all day long?
She wasn't annoyed when this girl didn't appear, and she would be fine when she came. Look just now, I rudely interrupted the elders when I entered the door!
"I don't want to come over and disturb the old lady and my father to talk, but something big has happened, and I can't take the master, so I went to the old lady to ask for an idea." After speaking, she deliberately glanced at Aunt Zhang behind the old lady.
Mu Xiaofeng's posture was very low, and he was completely obedient and sensible in front of the old lady.
Mu Tianda would never see this daughter wronged, not even at all. Of course, he is a mother on one side and a daughter on the other, and he will not do anything to protect his daughter and directly confront his mother.
As soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately looked at Mu Xiaofeng with concern and asked, "What's wrong?" Xiaoxiao, you come and listen. ”
Mu Xiaofeng looked at Mu Tianda, then at the old lady, and sighed again and again, only showing a embarrassed face but not speaking.
Seeing this, Mu Tianda's heart tightened, faintly anxious, and at the same time became more curious, "What happened?" Xiaoxiao, but it doesn't hurt to say. After that, he didn't forget to give his daughter a reassuring look.
With Daddy in everything, he will definitely make decisions for you.
When the girl saw him wink at herself, she felt both heartwarming and moved.
Daddy has always trusted her unconditionally and unconditionally good.
"Actually," Mu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the old lady before he said slowly, "Just now, a few shopkeepers joined forces to make trouble in our house. ”
Mu Tianda was stunned for a while, "The store came to our house to make trouble? Why is that? ”
Mu Xiaofeng was secretly happy in her heart, what she was waiting for was her father's words. However, there was a worried look on his face, and his eyes turned around the old lady in embarrassment, "The problem they reported is very complicated, it is better to ask the old lady to allow them to come here and tell everyone on the spot." ”
When the old lady heard this, her brows furrowed, and she opened her mouth to reprimand Mu Xiaofeng for being ignorant.
But she was one step ahead of her and continued, "Because this matter is not only related to the reputation of our Mufu, to be exact, whether it is directly related to Aunt Zhang, or a big relationship, please let the old lady let them see here." ”
The old lady opened her mouth, and she had to swallow the words she wanted to reprimand just now. Mu Tianda thought for a while, glanced around the room again, and nodded, "Mother, since that's the case, let's let them in." ”
The old lady's eyes sank, and she wanted to object, but after thinking about it, she still had something to ask for this son, so she would have to sell face and agree to it first.
Hengzhu has a son in this town, and no one dares to play arrogantly in front of him.
She glanced at the girl with a worried face who was still standing in the room, and said lukewarmly, "Since the eldest lady is embarrassed, let people come here and talk about it, I want to see what is the reason to dare to make trouble." ”
Mu Xiaofeng was waiting for her to say this, and when she heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, "The old lady knows everything clearly, and she will definitely find out what is going on." ”
The old lady was stunned when she heard this, is it fair? Who else is fair?
Mu Xiaofeng said but didn't wait for the old lady to react, in short, she said the compliments. What the old lady did was the old lady's business, and she just had to order her to bring people to Sukido.
It was the steady and powerful red shadow beside Mu Xiaofeng who went out to bring the troublesome store to Suxi Hall.
After only a while, I saw her come to Sukido with five middle-aged men with different looks.
Based on politeness, when they arrived at Suxitang, these people could first suppress their dissatisfaction and respectfully salute the old lady and Mu Tianda.
Mu Tianda looked at them silently, bowed slightly to the old lady, and invited them to sit down.
Only then did he ask politely, "I don't know what a few people are doing in my house?" ”
