Chapter 39: The Yuan Family

Two days later, the Mu family's army finally arrived, and it was not that Old Lady Mu was hypocritical on the road, but that he was really embarrassed. First encountered the checkpoint, Jinyiwei led people to check, but Mrs. Mu didn't dare to shout, but sent the steward to show his identity, hoping to cut in line and check the customs as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the guard officer slapped the steward and knocked out a few teeth, and pointed to the Mu family's car to his companions. And then...... The Jinyi guard took three shifts and was not released until the next morning.

After holding the car for a long time and a night, I thought it was over, but I didn't expect to be embarrassed again when I entered the city gate. The old lady who was dull as Mu felt that someone was manipulating him, but he was a little unhappy with Su Jinqiu, and the old lady Su had retreated, but he didn't retreat, and he couldn't command the Jinyi guard.

I don't know what's going on, Pan Yu took the people back to Pan's house, and although Mrs. Mu was full of depression, she could only go to Su's house first. The Mu family came to the capital for the draft, and it was really not necessary to rent a house or live in a guest house, but Mrs. Su agreed, and he couldn't find any other place to stay, so he could only go here.

The Mu family stepped forward and knocked on the door, Uncle Hong opened the door, and after asking about his identity, he directly led the Mu family to a three-entry courtyard on the west road of the front yard, this is the place where the Mu family is ready, please use it freely, you can also enter and exit freely when you go out, and the others have nothing to do with the Mu family.

"This, what's going on......" Old Lady Mu was stunned.

He never thought that he would receive this kind of treatment, Old Lady Su didn't say anything about greeting, he didn't mean to meet at all, and he didn't care if he brought it here.

Although Uncle Hong's tone was respectful, he was a little impatient, and said: "My old lady has been closed for a long time, and I don't want to see outsiders. The servants in the family have long been dismissed, and there are only about a dozen people in the house, so they really can't greet them. That's why I'm sorry for you. ”

Old Lady Mu's brows furrowed, and the tone of the subordinate made him very unhappy. Just wanted to reprimand loudly, Grandma Mu Si stepped forward and rushed to say: "We moved our family to disturb, but Old Lady Su kindly allowed us to stay, and we will go to ask An to meet you another day." ”

When Uncle Hong heard Grandma Mu Si say this, he didn't say anything else, and turned around.

Old Lady Mu became more and more angry, pointed at Grandma Mu Si and said, "Who allowed you to interject, what else did the Su family say, there is such hospitality." ”

"The old lady's lesson is certainly reasonable, but the capital is not as good as Jiangcheng, but there have been many twists and turns on the way to Beijing. If there is another conflict...... "Grandma Mu didn't say any more, just looked at Old Lady Mu, she didn't believe that Old Lady Mu didn't feel it, and walked for two days in half a day. The Marquis of Jiangcheng's mansion was built outside Beijing, and there were not many times when he entered Beijing, how could he offend people.

It's the Su family, the so-called broken ship still has 3,000 nails, and when Su Jinqiu was in Jiangcheng, the relationship was not very good. The Su family generously provided a house, which is rare. Before entering Beijing, Mrs. Mu wrote so many letters and went out of the city, only the Su family let him stay. If Old Lady Mu loses his temper and turns around, where will this family stay at night.

Old lady Mu was speechless for a moment, but the anger on her face was even stronger, she didn't want Grandma Mu Si to come over when she came, what insight could the merchant girl have. Just as he was about to scold Grandma Mu Si again, he saw Mu Qiniang come in from the corner gate with the girl's mother-in-law, walked forward with a smile to greet him, and said: "Since the day before yesterday, I have taken the girl's mother-in-law to start cleaning, and the back has been sorted out, please ask the old lady to go over and rest." ”

When Old Lady Mu saw Mu Qiniang, her face was even more ugly. She followed Su Jinqiu in the same car, and came over first with a good wind, flashing all the family to the back, what did she look like. Snorted coldly: "You are proud, do you still know what your surname is!" ”

Mu Qiniang stood still, bowed her head and said nothing, looking repentant. After passing through for so long, she can also be regarded as knowing the temper of the old lady Mu, which can be described in three words, old and confused. It may not have anything to do with the old, and I am afraid that I can't understand it when I am young.

"The seventh sister came here first, just to clean up, so that when my grandfather arrives, it is clean inside and out, wouldn't it be nice to look at it." Mu Liuniang stepped forward and smiled at the round, and said: "This is a piece of filial piety from the seventh sister, grandfather, don't wronged her." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and took Mu Qiniang's hand and smiled at her.

Mu Qiniang knew that this was Mu Liuniang's round, and it was one thing to dislike Old Lady Mu, and it was not good to be so stiff, so she smiled and said: "I have already taken someone to tidy up later, please go over and rest." ”

Although Old Lady Mu wanted to continue to pull his face, he couldn't bear it after holding it in the car for so long. Said in a vicious voice: "Don't lead the way yet." ”

Mu Qiniang rolled her eyes in her heart, but she had to lead the way and lead the Mu family over.

Although Su Jinqiu didn't go over, he sent the girl and mother-in-law beside him over, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Grandma Mu Si. Sanjin cleaned up inside and outside the courtyard for five days, and the girl she sent to Lu came back. In the afternoon of the same day, Mu Liuniang, Grandma Mu Si took the girls of the Mu family, and wanted to go to greet Mrs. Su, but they were blocked back, and Mrs. Su was nowhere to be seen.

The group went to Rongdong Courtyard, and Su Jinqiu beckoned everyone to sit down in the front hall. After everyone talked, Grandma Mu Si asked Mu Qiniang to take the girls to visit the garden, and she and Mu Liuniang stayed.

When everyone walked away, Grandma Mu Si smiled and said, "The girl is generous, the old lady is old, and her behavior is a little left-handed. ”

Su Jinqiu smiled indifferently, but said, "The fourth sister-in-law is serious." ”

Grandma Mu Si sighed in her heart, knowing what Su Jinqiu meant, she didn't care about the slow treatment she received in the Mu family, but she didn't plan to have too much contact with the Mu family. The Mu family took her in, and the Su family also let the Mu family live. is the same treatment as Su Jinqiu received in the Mu family, only providing a house, and nothing else. said with emotion: "Although I shouldn't say this, it is not appropriate for the old lady to act in the past few years. It's been a few days since I went to Beijing, and the Pan family hasn't even come over. ”

It's that Mu is gone, the two in-laws have not been broken, the father-in-law is in Beijing, and Pan Qin, the son-in-law, has to come to visit in person. As a result, until now, even the descendants of the Pan family have not seen it, if it is said that I don't know the way, Pan Yu and the Mu family came to Beijing together, how can Pan Yu not tell the family after she goes home.

I'm afraid that because of the discord between Pan Yu and the Wu family, the Mu family looks like they want to support Pan Yu. The Wu family gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and the wind blew on the pillow, Pan Qin just had the heart to be close to the Mu family, but he was afraid that he would also fade down. What's more, Pan Yu is a troublemaker again, his stepwife and young son are by his side day and night, how much heart can Pan Qin have on Pan Yu.

Su Jinqiu lowered his head to drink tea, and he didn't answer the stubble, he really had nothing to say. The Su family can't take care of the housework of the Pan Mu family, not to mention that the old lady Su really doesn't care about anything now, and reads books in the house every day.

Grandma Mu Si saw that Su Jinqiu was silent, paused and said: "The old lady wrote a post to the old marquis of the Chenghou Mansion a few days ago, so that the girls are ready to go out, can the girls know the Dingcheng Houfu?" ”

When he was at home, Mrs. Mu talked to the old lady of the Dingcheng Hou Mansion, saying how good the relationship between the two was, and how the old lady was willing to help. Mrs. Mu even wanted to live in the Yuan family, but the old lady said that the family had a large population and it was not very convenient, so Mrs. Mu gave up.

After entering Beijing, the first thing Mrs. Mu did was to write a post to Mrs. Yuan, but five days had passed, and there was still no news. Old lady Mu looked a little impatient, but fortunately the house was not cleaned up properly, otherwise with Old Lady Mu's meaning, I was afraid that I would have to find the door.

The girl of the Mu family can be drafted, and she takes the door of the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion, which Grandma Mu Si knows the way. It's just that the old lady and Mrs. Mu are friends, which makes Grandma Mu very worried. Old Lady Mu is so unreliable, and the people who befriend him are afraid that they can't be reliable. It's just that they are new to the city, and they don't know much about the people in Beijing, and they don't know who to ask about them.

Although Su Jinqiu has been away from Beijing for three years, he is always a person from the capital, and he must know more about the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion than them. Grandma Mu Si wanted to inquire, although she couldn't disobey Old Lady Mu, she was prepared.

Su Jinqiu thought for a while and said, "Grandfather has said more than once that mountain horses are very rare. Now the Jingzhong Zhilu Dao Jiangcheng Hou Mansion is only afraid of much, and when it comes to the Yuan family, they all say that the Princess Hanshan Mansion. ”

The Jiangcheng Hou Mansion is also the Hou Mansion outside Beijing, and now the family can live in the capital, and the benefit and Jiangcheng Hou Yuan Junqing married the eldest princess of Hanshan, that is, Yuan Feng's mother. Yuan Junqing also takes a very fancy to this identity, no matter who is familiar with him, he is called a horse master after seeing him. If you ask who the Marquis of Jiangcheng is in the capital, I am afraid that no one will know, and when it comes to Hanshan and horses, everyone knows about it, and no one knows it.

Yuan Junqing is a capable person, according to Mrs. Su, there is no Princess Shang, and it is only a matter of time before she comes out. After the princess, he went directly to the ladder. The unwritten rules of Da Chu are that horses can't discuss politics, but Yuan Junqing didn't discuss politics, but it was a Zongren order to manage royal affairs.

The fact that the girl of the Mu family can participate in the draft is a matter of words for Yuan Junqing. All royal affairs, whether it is the prince's branch or the princess's cabinet, even if the emperor marries the queen, are all taken care of by the Zongren Mansion. is tactful, has a good wrist, and has been a sect commander for all these years, but he has not complained a word.

Grandma Mu Si was a little relieved when she heard this, and she sighed a little emotionally, and said, "I am relieved to hear my sister say this." ”

Back then, Mu Sanye and Yuan Junqing ran for the election together, and Yuan Junqing was on the rise, but the Mu family fell into the quagmire. Old lady Mu always said that it was bad luck, and a strange disaster fell from the sky to the Mu family. I don't know that there is also a personal ability in it, even if Mu Sanye is still a princess, I don't know if I am afraid of blessings and misfortunes.

Su Jinqiu looked at Grandma Mu Si, although she didn't want to hit her too much, she didn't want to hide it from her, and said: "The old lady seems to have gone to Beijing more than ten years ago, after the death of Princess Hanshan, and has been living in the princess's mansion with the newly married old lady. At that time, there was a lot of discussion in the capital, and some people still talk about it until now. ”

Yuan Junqing is very normal and capable, but the old lady is a wonder. lost his wife in his forties, his eldest son had already married a family, and his grandchildren were several years old. The old lady remarried and found a house-filling wife who was thirty years younger than him and younger than his son.

Grandma Mu Si was stunned when she heard this, and there was only one reaction in her heart, the old lady was really a good friend of Old Lady Mu.

No, the old lady is less reliable than the old lady Mu, the old lady Mu is just unclear in his eyes, and he has not made the big mistake of infighting in the house.

The old lady is this kind of ...... I really can't complain, I just think that the eldest son is a concubine, his identity is relatively detached, and there will be no dispute over family property. Get such a little stepmother for her son, her grandsons are older than her sons, and others don't talk like it.

Mu Liuniang had been listening silently, her expression was a little dazed but not as surprised as Grandma Mu Si, she just asked, "How many people does the Yuan family have now?" ”

Su Jinqiu shook his head, but said, "Uncle Hong is familiar with the affairs of the capital, I sent someone to call him over, and he will find out as soon as he asks." ”

Although Su Moyu had a three-point friendship with Yuan Junqing before his death, it was mostly face-saving. Everyone in the capital has a name and a surname, and they all have some friendship with Yuan Junqing. At that time, she was still young and had not been out much. If the old lady is doing something too strange, everyone in the capital knows about it, and she doesn't even know about such news.

Grandma Mu Si looked a little hesitant, and just wanted to say that there was no need to bother, Su Jinqiu had already turned her head and instructed the little girl next to her to call someone, and said with a smile: "Uncle Hong is an old man in the family, it is appropriate to ask." ”

Pan Qin closed the door to the Mu family, and the Su family has been closed to customers, and going to the Yuan family is the only opportunity for the Mu family girl to go out. It's not too troublesome to ask Uncle Hong to ask, otherwise it won't be good if you go out for the first time, your eyes will be black and you will make jokes.

After a while, the mother-in-law led Uncle Hong over, sat down politely, and began to narrate.

The population of the Yuan family is simple and simple, the old lady has two sons, one is Yuan Junqing, and the other is Yuan Junxi, who was born to the new lady Jia, who is thirteen years old this year, and is said to be stubborn and abnormal. Jia has been selecting a suitable daughter-in-law candidate, but it has not yet been decided.

As for Yuan Junqing, Princess Hanshan was definitely a good man before she died. After the princess died and was filial, it was lewd and the true nature of the stick was fully revealed, and it was rumored that the seven daughters of the night were rumored to be born as a dozen.

Da Chu has a clear rule that the princess's dowry only has the right to inherit the dowry of her own children, and if the concubine can keep clean and no longer marry, she has the right to use it, and she can continue to live in the princess's mansion and maintain her original life, and the annual land rent income can also be used for expenses. As for the horses, when they see the difference in wealth, all the dowry clansmen's mansions are registered, and there are long historians in the mansions, so they can't allow the horses to come randomly.

If the princess has children, the children belong to them when they become adults. If there are no children, when the horse dies, everything will be returned to the state. If the concubine is unwilling to keep clean, he has to remarry again, and then he will be embarrassed, and he will leave the house, and all the dowries of the princess will be recovered, or temporarily handed over to the Zongren Mansion for safekeeping, and then handed over to the princess's children when they are adults.

Because of such regulations, Da Chu has not produced a continuation of the string so far. Similarly, there are more concubines like Yuan Junqing, but Yuan Junqing's concubines are not publicized, but the number of concubines is relatively large, and there are more children, it is said that there are seven or eight sons, plus a total of more than a dozen daughters.

Now the housekeeper in the room is the concubine Wei family, and the first person to enter the concubine room is the biological mother of the eldest son Yuan Qisheng. At present, the most outstanding of these concubines and concubines of the Yuan family is also the eldest son Yuan Qisheng, who is the same age as his uncle Yuan Junxi, but he has already been admitted to Xiucai and studied in Guozijian.

"Girl, see you in Princess Hanshan's mansion." The mother-in-law hurried into the door to spread the word.

Sure enough, he couldn't talk about people behind his back, Su Jinqiu was not surprised, he just asked, "How many people are here?" ”

"Only one, who said he wanted to meet the girl." The mother-in-law said that because she was a waiter, there was no housewife at home, and it was reasonable to say that she wanted to meet the girl.

Grandma Mu Si and Mu Liuniang looked a little nervous, Old Lady Mu had been waiting for the Yuan family's reply, but she didn't expect the Yuan family to send the Su family a post first.

Su Jinqiu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Please." ”
