Chapter 192, Family Affairs
Coming out of Mu Chenxue's residence, Nangong Shumo and Feng Wu stabbed the hidden fog that was in hot pursuit, so that they were able to escape back to the palace without all eyes and ears. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Nangong Xun believed in the words of the hidden mist, he suspected Feng Wu's body. And he learned from Mu Chenxue that that person was also a concubine, but he still didn't want to doubt his younger brother, firstly, because his mother made a wrong decision back then, and he was ashamed of this younger brother. The second is that he cares a lot about this hard-won family affection.
Except for sending people to keep an eye on Feng Wu, there was no other turmoil. And Qing Wangye was free, and he wanted to do things for his two sons. And this time, with the words of Prince Qing, Princess Qing no longer obstructed her, but wanted to choose a small family affair for the concubine, at least she would not let the female family become the help of the concubine. and gave his son, but chose to marry a good match in the capital.
It's just that a year ago, the two sons didn't agree with the matter of marrying, and now they stay in the study all day long on the grounds that they are busy with chores. Even Nangong Xun, the prince of the county, in addition to going to see his daughter every day, has not even entered the house of a few concubines and servants for a year. So Princess Qing is also very anxious, after all, the eldest son has no children under his knees, and the inheritance of heirs is the biggest taboo of the royal family.
In the summer and autumn, the Qingwang Mansion held several banquets in a row, inviting the families of officials of all sizes in the city. It's just that for these things, the eldest lady of the shogunate will never let the fifth sister go. Instead, he was busy with his son's family affairs, and at the same time, he was Zhang Luo for his biological daughter's fourth sister.
After entering the summer, because of the marriage of the Shogunate, the three of them returned to the Shogunate once, but it was only to recognize their relatives. After the reunion dinner, I went back to the other hospital. The sister-in-law who was born in the Changshi Mansion, Mu Chenxue only looked at her face, but she didn't see any obvious scars on her face. It's just that the cheekbones are very high, giving people a stern and mean appearance. Anyway, they don't live together, whether this person is gentle and virtuous, filial piety, or ruthless, it has nothing to do with her.
And compared to Mu Peng's family affairs, Mu Chenxue attaches more importance to Mu Yu's family affairs. On this day, the master of the family asked for leave, and Mu Yu found an excuse to come to the other courtyard to visit Mu Chenxue quietly.
"My cousin is also a person who wants to be a little Dengke now, so don't come here again in the future, so as not to let the second uncle and aunt know, and I don't know how to make trouble. Moreover, the shogunate has a lot of mouths, and if it reaches the ears of the second sister-in-law, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings! In the past few months, Mu Yu has only seen his fifth cousin once on the day when his sister-in-law recognized his relatives in the lobby, and he misses it in his heart. But he also knew that he had obeyed his parents, and his marriage with his fifth cousin had been broken. I came here today because I was driven by my own heart, and I couldn't help myself.
"Fifth cousin, since you got sick and moved to the backyard a few years ago, we have seen each other less and less, and now you are forced to leave the house because of your mother, I came today to say 'I'm sorry!' Mu Chenxue's attitude made Mu Yu disheartened. So when the love words came to his lips, they were changed to apologize for his mother.
"My father and my second uncle have a deep brotherly relationship, and my aunt and ninth brother and I might as well be at ease in this courtyard in the house, and my cousin shouldn't think too much about it. Study with peace of mind, treat your second sister-in-law well, and live your own life! Mu Chenxue said as she got up and took down a brocade box from the bookshelf on the side.
"Today, the ninth brother went to the county school, this is a congratulatory gift we have prepared for you, I was going to ask Steward Liu to transfer it on my behalf in a few days, since my cousin came today, I don't need to trouble Steward Liu anymore!" Steward Liu would send people to deliver food to the other courtyard every three or five days, and even the eldest master would sometimes come to stay for a day. So the shogunate's affairs, Makuchenxue also knows a little.
Mu Yu said thank you, then took the brocade box, opened it gently, a pair of jade Ruyi placed side by side in the brocade box, although the color of the jade is not very good, but the carving is exquisite, and the gem is wrapped with gold leaf, the style is more beautiful than the general jade Ruyi.
This is Mu Chenxue's own design, and the things selected are not precious things, but it is better to care about the new style, but it is eye-catching. At the beginning, she gave Mu Peng a pair of jade Ruyi, but the jade quality is better than this, but the style is quite traditional, the novelty is insufficient, and the price is not even this high. But the eldest lady is a person who only looks at the texture, not the style, so she didn't say anything.
"Thank you, fifth cousin, it's the first time I've seen such exquisite workmanship!" Mu Yu can't take his eyes off what he likes, although the marriage line between him and his fifth cousin is broken, but they are still cousins, and this family relationship will not be broken.
The two chatted for a while, and then Mu Yu got up to say goodbye. Aunt Cheng and the old lady were chatting in the inner courtyard, and when they saw their daughter sending guests back, they asked curiously, "The second young master went back?" ”
"Yes! The second cousin hadn't seen Brother Jiu'er for a few days, and the last time we went home, we only met in a hurry, and we came back without even saying a few words. So I asked for leave with my master, so I came to visit with some food and books! "Aunt Cheng can see some of Mu Yu's feelings. But my daughter has always been very disciplined and has never done anything out of bounds, so she won't say anything.
The old lady naturally heard some from her daughter, but she was more open than her daughter, and she trusted this granddaughter even more, so she didn't ask much, "I have been walking around the city with your mother these days, and many people in the city are doing happy events." Now that the fifth sister is thirteen, this family affair still has to be done early! ”
When the old lady said this, Aunt Cheng's face was inevitably a little more lonely. Although she is the mother of the fifth sister, she is not in charge of her daughter's affairs. These days, the lord will come over every once in a while, and she has not been less windy by the pillow, but the lord insists that this matter will be left to the eldest lady, so she has no choice. And the mansions drink and feast, and they will not post a concubine to her, where will she go to find her daughter.
When the old lady said this, she didn't say it to her daughter at all, but to her granddaughter. These days, after the curfew, there are often guests in the outer courtyard, and the granddaughter is sometimes in the outer courtyard study, and when she is busy, she has already heard about it from Yinhuan. As for who the visitor was, she asked sideways, but Mu Chenxue was tight-lipped and couldn't ask at all. So today, with the visit of Mu Yu, I tried to use words.
"The fourth sister hasn't married yet, where would the eldest lady think of me, wait a minute!" She wants to wait, wait for Nangong Shumo to propose, and he is the only one she wants to marry. Although she is inevitably moved by Nangong Xun's true feelings these days, she can finally keep her heart and know who she wants to marry.
Seeing that the fifth sister was reluctant to mention this matter, the old lady didn't say anything more. Instead, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren talked about something else in the house. Mu Chenxue sat with him for a while, and then saw Bao Ru come to invite, saying that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper Tong.
Waiting for the morning snow to come out of the inner courtyard, the old lady sighed, "The fifth sister and the ninth brother are still tired of you and me after all!" "She and her daughter are both concubines, and if they are placed in any house and household like the fifth sister, they will inevitably be good at managing family finances and worthy of being the mother of a family. But as a concubine, and with the heart of the eldest lady, how could she find a reliable family for the fifth sister.
When she mentioned this, Aunt Cheng was inevitably sad, but in front of her mother, she didn't dare to cry, so she had to sigh.
Children are born with debts, so parents will have an inexhaustible heart. (To be continued.) )
