Chapter Ninety-Seven: Deliberation

After hearing this, Mother Xue breathed a sigh of relief, for no other reason, just because the two places that Xue Rulan went to today were all boundaries where she was a slave and couldn't go in and investigate without permission. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

If Liang Wenyu is there, she still has someone who can ask for news, then in Mu Lingxuan's Wutao Courtyard, Mother Xue is really sighing.

And according to the news she got from Zhenyu Courtyard, Cuizhu is indeed using the excuse of sending some gadgets to visit around the courtyard today.

Thinking about it this way, what my grandmother said is true.

Thinking about it, if she holds such an important witness as Mu Ren in her hand, I am afraid that she will have to keep it under her nose and guard it strictly to the death, so that she can rest assured.

After tossing for two days, her legs ran cramps, and finally there was a reliable news, and Mother Xue couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Looking up, yo, just like this, the group has already walked to the gate of Yufang Courtyard, and Mother Xue is now thinking about going to the eldest uncle to receive the reward, and she can't wake up from the dream of making a fortune, where can she have the heart to serve the master?

I saw her eyes roll, thinking about it, and said to Xue Rulan with a smile, "It turns out that the eldest grandmother is here to accompany the two young ladies to dinner." ā€

"The slave and maid will go back, cook the dishes that the two young ladies love to eat, and let people send them over, which can be regarded as a little filial piety of the slave and maid to the masters."

In fact, it was on this pretext that Malier went to send a message to the real master to receive the reward.

As everyone knows, the news that she is so reliable is just a good show that Xue Rulan's master and servant played together to show her.

Xue Rulan will still have important things to do, I wish that Mother Xue was an eyesore, the farther she went, the better, thinking of this person who was using fake news to please Xue Hua, a touch of sarcasm flashed on her lips, and she raised her foot and stepped into the courtyard gate.

I thought to myself, "It seems that keeping Mother Xue is not without benefits, at least in terms of confusing the public, she is completely competent." ā€

From afar, Xue Rulan heard a few children in the hall, talking and laughing very happily, the pace under her feet did not speed up, and she really felt that only where the children were was the only pure land.

"Mother, come and see, grandmother rewarded her son with a good inkstone today." As soon as she entered the room, Mu Yongqi rushed to her side from the table, took her hand, and said with infinite joy, "This is an ancient inkstone from the previous dynasty, the shape is simple and interesting, and the ink is more smooth." ā€

"Look, this is the handwriting that my eldest sister just wrote, is it more full and smooth than usual?"

Mu Bingyuan pulled Mu Bingtong and smiled and bowed to his mother, "Mother, the inkstone that my grandmother just gave to my younger brother is indeed a rare high-quality, no wonder my younger brother likes it so much." ā€

"I think, my brother is thinking that Ming'er will be envied and jealous by others when he arrives in the school, so he feels happy, right?" With a sly smile, Mu Bingtong unceremoniously said his brother's hidden thoughts.

Mu Yongqi was embarrassed by the little sister's words, and pulled Xue Rulan to quickly plead, "Mother, don't listen to the little girl's nonsense, my son doesn't think like that at all......"

Having said that, it's just that his voice is indeed getting softer and softer, which shows how empty he must be in his heart.

Xue Rulan couldn't help but smile, and pulled her son to the table to read the words written by her eldest daughter.

Because it is a temporary test pen, there is only one fish brain frozen end inkstone on the round table, the texture is high, the stone is particularly delicate, and it is indeed as tender as "children's skin".

Fish brain jelly is the most delicate, tender and purest place in Duanxi inkstone, that is, the so-called "white as clear clouds, blowing to disperse; Loose like a ball, ready to touch. "This thing is extremely rare, so it has always been respected by talented people.

The inkstone in front of Xue Rulan's eyes, the part of the fish brain jelly is completely preserved in the ink hall, surrounded by rouge fire, its color is bright, purple with red, very beautiful and eye-catching.

The side of the inkstone is engraved with a fourteen-character inscription in Lishu: "Reading is not a Confucian sour, and the leaping horse enters Jincheng Pass." "It's very in line with the martial customs of the West.

Such a rare good thing, strange to make Mu Yongqi happy like this.

The children are all from Liang Wenyu today, and they have got such and such good things, they think that it is their grandmother's love for their grandchildren.

Xue Rulan understood very well in her heart, this was her mother-in-law's acceptance of the four of them, and she was very unexpectedly moved.

Under the instigation of the Bai family and the connivance of Mu Yishan, within a few years of entering the door, she openly and secretly opposed Liang Wenyu, and I don't know how many blocks she added to the heart of this serious mother-in-law.

Although she did not interfere in framing Mu Lingxuan's pickled affairs, those who wanted Liang Wenyu's only son to die, one by two, were all her relatives.

Shame on you......

At this moment, Xue Rulan suddenly realized, "Mother-in-law must love her father-in-law very much, otherwise, she would not be restrained in the battle in the back house, just because her father-in-law goes on patrol twice a year, and the ten white aunts are all dead." ā€

But Liang Wenyu obviously has countless opportunities to let the Bai family die silently, but she has endured it so far, and she has never poisoned her, you can say that she is stupid, but it is absolutely impossible to deny that she is a noble lady who is truly noble and does not want her hands dirty.

"This word is really well written, and the fish brain frozen inkstone is also rare." Xue Rulan stretched out her hand to pick Mu Bingtong up, fragrant the child's tender face, and said softly to the children, "Grandmother loves you so much, you sisters and brothers, you must be more sincere and filial to your grandmother in the future, do you know?" ā€

"I know, mother, my daughter wants to embroider a forehead for her grandmother, a peony flower pattern, and a tourmaline gemstone inlaid in the middle, do you think she will like it?" Mu Bingyuan is older, and he knows that people are in and out, and he can't just go in and out.

The things that Liang Wenyu gave them are all very valuable, and their juniors have nothing to compare with as a return gift, and they only think that they can express their gratitude to the objects they made with their own hands.

As soon as Mu Bingtong and Mu Yongqi heard the words of the eldest sister, they were not far behind, you and I quarreled word by word, and they were all saying that what they wanted to give to their grandmother? Please help your mother consider it.

Before the mothers were laughing, the maids had lit the candlesticks in the house, and the warm light shrouded the four mothers and sons with a smile on their faces, sprinkling the warmth of the room.

Even the maids and mothers who were waiting were infected by this joyful atmosphere, and they all exuded sincere smiles from the heart.

Xue Rulan's face was smiling like a flower, but her heart was sore and unbearable, Mu Bingyuan didn't know anything, this child was still waiting to be married, if Xue Baoshan's good deeds were confirmed, how could she open this mouth with the child? !

Thinking of this, Xue Rulan's brain jumped suddenly, she didn't know the taste of eating a meal, and finally finished dinner, so she thought about how to justify it and talk to Yun's mother alone.

"Yun'er, the two of us go to your house to sit down, the little girl is gradually getting older, the female red, the piano and chess should also be learned seriously." Xue Rulan used her youngest daughter as a pretense, but it did not arouse suspicion, "Let's discuss it, let's see if she should go to the clan study and follow the sisters in the clan?" Or do you want to learn with her eldest sister's upbringing? ā€

Mu Bingyuan also learned things in the clan science earlier, but after she got engaged, she was shy and embarrassed to go, Xue Rulan thought that after her daughter got married, she needed to know the things that she couldn't teach in the family science, so she simply didn't let her go, and visited the grandmother who came out of the old palace alone, please teach it alone at home.

So Mu Bingtong can go to the clan school, and it is okay to follow her sister, she is already six years old, and she will go to school at the beginning of the year, and it is reasonable for Xue Rulan to discuss with her grandmother.

It's no wonder that Xue Rulan's circle is too big, it's really a big thing right in front of her, and Xue's mother has to be perfunctory to succeed, she has to be careful.

Entering the house, Xue Rulan told Mother Yun the ins and outs of the matter, and made Mother Yun angry, her eyes were red, she and Mu Bingyuan lived opposite each other in the same yard, and they didn't look down to see each other, and their feelings were better than others.

She knows best that the eldest lady of her own family is really kind, not fake kindness, such a rare kind-hearted person would suffer such a shameful humiliation, Mother Yun couldn't accept it.

Secretly cursed, 'God is blind. She barely thought about it, so she nodded and agreed, "What do you mean, the slave maid has understood, I will go home in a while, according to the slave maid, you might as well let the slave's eldest brother check, he is already in charge of the sons' pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and it is most convenient to go out." ā€

Seeing that Xue Rulan had completely lost the spirit in the hall just now, and her face was sad, as if she had suddenly aged several years, Yun's mother was really worried.

I can't say anything about this to anyone, and my grandmother is afraid that she can't be aggrieved, thinking of the kindness of this person who helped her at the beginning, Mother Yun is really afraid of making this person angry.

Hurriedly persuaded him with good words, "You just have to rest assured, as long as this rumor is true, we will be able to find out about it, if it is fake, it is just to correct the name of the young master, right?" ā€

As soon as she heard this, Xue Rulan's desperate heart suddenly had a little hope again, and she nodded busily, this would be a sincere hope, Mu Lingxuan's news was just a misunderstanding.

After the initial outburst, she felt more hatred for her brother and sister-in-law, suspicion of her parents, and pity for her daughter.

But there is also a little uncertainty, after all, Xue Baoshan's performance on weekdays is really good, not only the people in Xuanping Houfu have a good impression of him, but the people of Pingjing City also praise the Xue family's Baoshan, who is a humble gentleman who deserves his name.

is fierce, a good person praised by everyone, and it is indeed impossible to think about it when he comes to such a play.

Fortunately, Chu Yun's family is a native of the locals, and Chu Yun's elder brother Mu Cheng is in Pingjing City to take East Street and West Street, and is the steward who specializes in buying the things needed in the study room for the princes and ladies of the Hou Mansion.

This kind of errand is a rare fat difference, but they have no sense of existence in front of their masters, they are rich and nameless, so their family lives a rich life, but they are very low-key.

Mother Yun took the errand, and she didn't dare to delay at all, so she asked Xue Rulan to stay for a while, and she hurried back home by herself.

As soon as they saw their sister coming back, Mu Cheng and his wife also made tea and set snacks to receive them, but He Yun's mother had something in her heart, and she didn't even take a sip of tea, so she was straightforward and wanted to talk to her eldest brother in private.

Fortunately, her sister-in-law was a big-eyed person, not only was she not angry when she heard the words, but she also asked her brother and sister to go to the west room to say, so she brought a needlework basket and sat in the small hall, even doing needlework, and guarding the door by the way.

After listening to the girl's words, Mu Cheng was shocked, and he had to shout a pity for Mu Bingyuan, and the name of 'Jinshui Lane' immediately flashed in his heart.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard his mother-in-law coughing outside, and his heart moved, and the first thing that came to mind was the imposing figure of the prince......

His heart couldn't help but tremble, he cleared his throat and said to his sister, "It's good that you take this errand, it's not good, the good thing is that if this matter is done, the eldest grandmother must look at our family differently, I can't say, our family will climb the high branches in the future, and we can go to a high place." ā€

"The bad thing is that the uncle has always fought with the prince of our family, according to my brother, the uncle's chances of winning are not great, after all, the prince occupies the position of the heir, and in recent years, he has been full-fledged and stable like a rock, I am afraid it is not easy to shake."

"You say, if we help the eldest grandmother with this, will we offend the prince?"

"If I offend the prince, I'm not afraid, I'm afraid that the children will not end well in the future."

This is the meaning of shirking and not wanting to take it.

Mother Yun was not angry, approached Mu Cheng, and said a few words in her ear.

But seeing that Mu Cheng's face changed greatly, and he was about to speak, he was stopped by Yun's mother reaching out, "Big brother, this matter is out of my mouth and into your ears, and you can't let a third person know, including my sister-in-law, it's not me who is my sister's defense against her, it's just that there are many people, if it is because of the big thing that our family is broken, what kind of fate will our family have?" ā€

In a word, Mu Cheng, who asked, was drenched in cold sweat, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will never say a word more!" ā€

Mu Cheng drank the tea and was shocked, digested it, and the shocking news he knew just now suddenly rose with a sense of responsibility and pride in his heart, "This is a major event related to the survival of the Hou Mansion, I, Mu Cheng, a second-rate manager, can actually participate in the major affairs of the Hou Mansion one day, it is really not in vain!" ā€

Everyone has their own goals, and Mu Cheng's goal is to be the first-class chief steward of the Xuanping Hou Mansion!

If he seizes the opportunity this time and accomplishes what the eldest grandmother has entrusted him, he will undoubtedly be a big step closer to his goal.

At that moment, Mu Cheng didn't hesitate any longer, and said to his sister energetically, "It's not good for me to come forward in this matter, so let our family Alun do it best." ā€

"Aaron is only eight years old, what can he do?!" Yun's mother was puzzled.

Mu Cheng smiled and said, "You don't know this, do you?" ā€

"In my opinion, nine times out of ten, this errand will end up in Jinshui Lane, the two most famous small restaurants in Pingjing City, right there, if Xue Baoshan is really good, then he should be seen here."

"Even if your eldest brother is a third-rate steward in the house, but outside, there are many people who know this face, Aaron is small, and others don't pay attention to it, you say, isn't it the most suitable?"
