Chapter Twenty-Seven: Seeing Each Other and Hating Each Other
Mu Rui even if he wanted to persuade his wife to be a little more restrained, thinking that it would be okay for him to suffer some grievances, but now after listening to these ridiculous and mocking words, he couldn't help but feel angry and bloody, and he couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, completely disappointed in this woman who originally liked something.

In fact, the old Marquis Mu is not as low as she said, but when the weak crown can be from the left inspector deputy envoy, of course, at this time he took the career or through the imperial examination, the new policy of the emperor of the year will be many outstanding children of the common people screened out, the imperial examination system has also increased the palace examination, yes, only twenty-year-old Mu Rui won the list, was named the left inspector to wash the horse first experience, two years later he was promoted to the deputy envoy, even though he is a new upstart in the court, he is quite low-key, sophisticated and sleek, although not so conspicuous, But it is also a rare talent, which is why there is this marriage contract.
Mu Rui and Mrs. Hou's old lady Mei Sujin's father, Master Mei, is an official with the same inspector, Lord Mei has a bold and uninhibited personality, and takes care of the new young officials, so he is familiar with it, his eyes are vicious in the court, and he knows at a glance that Mu Rui, a kid, will definitely have a great future in the future. Sure enough, within three years, he was promoted to deputy envoy, although the deputy envoy has a lot of material pressure, but it is generally for the preparation of higher positions in the future, so that the many and trivial work can make people's ability greatly increased.
As soon as Master Mei heard the news from his colleagues that Mu Rui was going to be promoted to deputy envoy of the left inspector, he returned home and discussed with his wife a few times, and quickly finalized the youngest daughter Mei Sujin, and then probed Mu Rui's tone, the family has two parents, and they are not yet married. He naturally knew the situation in Mu Rui's family for a long time, and now he asked more, just to test his current attitude, only the youngest daughter in his family is unmarried, and Fang Ling is just right, although his temper is a little proud, but it is definitely more than enough to match Mu Rui, and his daughters are naturally excellent in the eyes of his father.
Master Mei contacted Mu Rui on her side, and Mrs. Mei persuaded Mei Sujin here, although Mu Rui has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his official position is not low, but people always like to compare. When I first heard my mother talk about Mu Rui, she was young and promising, she didn't have a warm house, and she didn't have complicated relatives, and her promotion in the future was just around the corner, Mei Sujin was still extremely satisfied.
But everyone knows that the prevailing style of comparison in Chang'an City is the style of comparison, the officials compare the positions of oil and water, and the women compare the jewelry and clothes, although the emperor of the year vigorously rectified the extravagance, but with little effect.
So when the marriage of the two was initially finalized, Master Mei still arranged for the two young people to meet out of kindness, and they really only met, separated by a slightly transparent screen of the Shu embroidered garden, the two did not speak, and they were afraid that they were used to a bad reputation. After exchanging the Geng posts of the two, Mei Sujin was ready to get married with peace of mind.
But the days of marriage were not so peaceful, and when the first few days of joy had passed, when Mei Sujin's little sister came to her for a reunion, things became more and more. Although she congratulated her on the major events in her life, but then she had a somewhat regretful expression, Mei Sujin asked before she said stupidly, "Su Jin, do you know that Zuo Wanqing, the daughter of Lord Zuo, will be engaged in the next few days!" ”
"Oh, it's about the same as when I got married, that's a coincidence, what's the matter, could it be that the object of her engagement is some kind of amazing person?"
"Not really! I also heard my father mention that she is going to marry the fourth prince as a side concubine! ”
"Side concubine?"
"Yes, if he is ...... day"
"If you can get to that position, then you are really a human being."
When the two of them said this, they were silent, royal affairs are not something that the women in their backyard can talk about more, if they are accidentally spread out, it is really dangerous to contact someone with an official position in the family.
However, Mei Sujin still wanted to ease the atmosphere, smiled and said, "I'm already married, isn't it possible for you... Well, a competition? ”
The woman immediately blushed, lowered her head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, how can I have a chance...... My father was nothing more than a four-rank idle official. As she spoke, her voice became much lower, but soon she changed her cheerful tone to Mei Sujin, "But it's strange to say, the Zuo family is a third-grade official like you." And our court has always had princes in the palace, whether they are concubines or concubines, they are all first- and second-class officials, which is strange......"
"What's strange about this, maybe you have the right eye."
"Zuo Wanqing, don't you know, her appearance is at most delicate, she can't compare to you at all, she is also the daughter of a third-grade official, you can ...... her when you look at her" As she spoke, the woman suddenly stopped, and said to Mei Sujin with a panicked face, "Sujin, I didn't mean to compare you, I'm sorry, don't take it to heart." ”
Mei Sujin's face had become ugly, she pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm not as good as Zuo Wanqing, what are you sorry for." ”
Because of this, Mei Sujin began to feel unbalanced, in contrast, he felt more and more that he was worthy of the emperor's relatives, but he was bound to a petty official's house by his parents, although his father always said that he would not be in the pool in the future, but where to say things after that is not as practical and reliable as a princess. Now that he is engaged, it is too late to say anything, and if he lets his family know that he has the intention of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, it will be another turmoil.
The depression in her heart accumulated for many days, and under Mei Sujin's silent silence, no one found her thoughts, and the depressed mood finally broke out after getting married. Mu Rui's parents are real countrymen, and they have a lot of awe for this "daughter of a big official's family", and they have never thought about any morning and dusk. It's just that the daughter-in-law who has just passed through the door always has to go to serve tea on the first day, and when the tea is served, Mei Sujin has set up a full shelf. From the morning, Mu Rui woke her up, because he was busy with business, although he had a public holiday, he was dragged away by his colleagues. Therefore, Mei Sujin got up slowly, bathed and changed clothes, and used snacks to meet the two old men, making them wait for more than an hour. Then when the tea was served, there was no kneeling and bowing, only a flat salute, but the two old people did not know these rules, although there were maids next to them who saw that it was wrong, but no one dared to say it blatantly. So I didn't know about it until Mu Rui went home at night, although he was tactful on weekdays, he was extremely filial to his parents, and he couldn't wait to bow to everything, now that he knew how to endure it, but the two old men kept persuading each other, it is common for official women to be arrogant, originally they were not very particular people, don't have a dislike with their own wife because of this, after the two old men said so much, Mu Rui also suppressed his anger in order not to worry them, and only thought about reminding Mei Sujin a little in the future.
