Chapter 23, step by step
On the occasion of his father Mu Qian's birthday banquet, Mu Chenxue suddenly attacked the eldest lady and directly caught the other party off guard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although the nurse next to the eldest lady tried her best to excuse her, her son, the eighth young master, was so delicate that she was unwilling to lend her clothes to her younger brother, and even spoke ill of her, insulting her younger brother in front of everyone.
was so angry that Mu Qian raised his hand to shave this disobedient unfilial son, but was stopped by the eldest lady. At this time, where could the eldest lady still think of her identity, and knelt down with everyone, "Master, starling is your sister-in-law, your most beloved youngest son!" How could you be willing to punish him in front of everyone! ”
Starling had never seen his father so fierce, so he was so frightened that he sat on the ground and cried. "Look at it! Good son you taught! What a loving mother and a loser! The young master of the dignified shogunate, when he was in trouble, he actually behaved like such a shrew, what kind of system! ”
Mu Qian didn't really want to beat this son, after all, he had loved him for all these years, and he just wanted to scare him. At this time, I saw Starling sitting on the ground crying, but Jiu Ge'er knelt on the side with a calm face, comparing the two, I felt that Jiu Ge'er's temperament was better, and he might have a great future in the future.
However, this thought was only fleeting, and it did not leave a deep impression, after all, there were people kneeling in the room, and the time for the banquet was approaching.
"Hey!" With a sigh, he turned around and helped the lady who was kneeling beside him to her feet. Mu Chenxue has been secretly observing his father, and seeing that his eyebrows and eyes have been loosened, but the next moment he helped the eldest lady up, and he knew that his medicine was not strong enough, and it seemed that he had to work harder.
When the eldest lady got up, she went to help the starling on the side, comforting the other while helping, "Eighth brother, don't cry!" Father is just a momentary breath. It's my father's birthday, so I can't cry! He also took out a towel to help him wipe away his tears.
"Go away!" Although the starling was crying sadly, he saw that his mother was protecting him as before, and his father's attitude was not as fierce as at the beginning, thinking that he would be scolded by his father because of his sister and brother, of course, he would see that the morning snow was not pleasing to the eye. But Mu Chenxue's performance in the eyes of everyone in the house was just that she wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with her sister-in-law.
Mu Chenxue took advantage of the starling's push, and fell to the ground, and her hair was all scattered. Mu Qiangang's face was a little softened, and immediately sank again. The eldest lady was also shocked to sweat, she usually doted on this young son too much, and now she found that her doting was only afraid that she would harm this son. But this is not the time to pursue these, the eldest lady who just got up hurriedly pounced on the young son and pulled him tightly, "Master, the starling brother is just afraid that he is frightened, not to make the old man angry!" Please also remember that he is young and ignorant, forgive him this time! ”
Mu Chenxue saw that this was almost over, and it was not a way to continue like this, so she pulled the sleeve of the ninth brother and whispered in his ear, "Help the starling intercede!" "It can be regarded as the final blow to the eldest lady.
Mu Chenfeng glanced at his sister puzzled, hesitated for a moment, but still knelt down towards Mu Qian as instructed, "Father, it's all sons who are not filial, sons don't want starling's clothes, just don't be angry!" "The filial ninth brother, the selfish starling, this is not better than not knowing, and the comparison is high and low.
Mu Qian glared at the starling brother, and patted the ninth brother on the shoulder again, and then waved his hand to let everyone get up, and when everyone stood up, he sat back on the chair, but did not look at the eldest lady again.
Mu Chenxue also got up, and when she got up, her shoulder-length hair hung directly down on her face, looking very embarrassed.
"Fifth sister, what's going on? If you don't have new cloth to make clothes, can't you even have a piece of jewelry? Seeing that this irresponsible father finally noticed her, Mu Chenxue sighed secretly, playing chess pays attention to insight into the overall situation, pays attention to the first move before the hand, she is doing every step today, everything is pressing, and it is not in vain.
But Mu Chenxue, who had just gotten up, had to kneel down again, "Back to my father, my daughter was sick a few days ago, and she moved to the backyard for fear of infecting her mother. ”
Mu Chenxue's words sounded like filial piety, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was excusing the eldest lady. Only Mu Chenxue understood in her heart that the position of the eldest lady was there, and it was not something that she could easily shake as a concubine, and her purpose today was not to oust the eldest lady from power at one time, what she wanted was to improve the lives of her mother and brother, and she wanted silver.
"Humph!" In the past, there were concubines and concubines who had no new cloth tailors, and then saw that their daughters had to cut jewelry and catch medicine even when they saw a doctor, how could Mu Qian not understand what was hidden in this. But this matter still has to be solved, and you can't really make trouble for your wife because of this matter.
"That's it, since the steward of the inner court is not cautious and can't help Madame, it's better to send him out of the house as soon as possible. In the future, Aunt Cheng, the fifth sister, and the ninth brother will go to the account of the outer courtyard. As for the monthly case owed before, after the birthday banquet, let Steward Liu make up for Aunt Cheng, the fifth sister and the ninth brother according to the account! Mu Qian's words are ruthless enough, although he did not seize the power of the eldest lady in public, but the account of the inner court was divided into two parts, which made the eldest lady lose face even more than seizing power.
The eldest lady was so angry that her face turned pale, and now she has not only lost a steward of the inner court, but she will not even have the opportunity to use these things to make things difficult for Aunt Cheng in the future. But her son was not angry and said something that should not be said, and it was also a fact that she treated her concubine harshly, so she was powerless to quibble. had to suppress the anger in his belly, and only glared at Aunt Cheng's mother and son fiercely.
Mu Chenxue was not afraid at all, and Mu Chenfeng didn't know what he was thinking at this time, so he didn't look at the eldest lady. Only Aunt Cheng was so frightened that her legs trembled, if it weren't for Mother Jiang supporting her, she was afraid that she would have fallen to the ground.
"Go to the house of the fourth sister and the starling brother to find two new clothes made in the spring and come out to change them for the ninth brother and the fifth sister. Then tie up the hair of the fifth sister, I remember that the fourth sister has a pair of coral beads, and I haven't seen her wear them these days, so I think I don't usually need it, so I will give it to the fifth sister! This early morning gave me a headache! ”
The father's tone was tough, and the fourth sister and starling also knew that this was no longer the time to talk much, and seeing that their mother had shut up, even if they didn't want to, they could only endure it.
Although things are not exactly according to Mu Chenxue's thoughts, there is no derailment, and the ending is not bad, although Mu Chenxue is unwilling to wear the clothes of the fourth sister, she also knows that she can't refuse at this time. Together with Brother Jiu'er, he thanked his father, and bowed to his mother Cheng, and then pulled Aunt Cheng into the side room to change clothes.
Before leaving, Yu Guangzheng swept into his cousin Mu Yu's worried eyes, "It seems that this cousin is really different from others, I'm just afraid that I have to find a chance to test it!" ”
Although the eldest lady has lost face today, the people of the shogunate still won't follow to help the young master and young lady, and only Aunt Cheng's side Jiang Ma is close to protect her. Aunt Cheng was so frightened that she didn't even have a trace of blood on her face, and when she entered the side room, she sat on the ground and looked at her daughter with a trembling mouth.
