Chapter Ninety-Nine, Uninvited Guest
In addition to peeking at the eldest master of his concubine, there were also people on the men's seat who secretly looked at Mu Chenxue with their eyes from time to time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Makuyu has never taken his eyes off his fifth cousin since he entered the door. Today, the fifth cousin wore a lake blue dress embroidered with white velvet flowers, although the head was only briefly combed, and he didn't even wear a flower, but for some reason, he actually felt that the sisters at this table, only the fifth cousin had the most elegant temperament, and even looked better than the fourth cousin wearing gold jewelry.
Mu Yu's abnormality, others didn't pay attention to it, only Cao Yangming saw all this in his eyes, and naturally didn't like it in his heart, he happened to sit next to Mu Yu, so he toasted him from time to time, or chatted with him a few words. Today's holiday, it's another family reunion dinner, so Mu Yu doesn't want to make a face to this cousin with a foreign surname, so he has to respond in vain.
Mu Chenxue is not completely unaware of Mu Yu's eyes, but even if she has no one in her heart, she will not choose her cousin, and she does not have the ancients to kiss each other.
When he first took the seat, Makuchenxue was very glad to take this opportunity to observe the people of the shogunate. She can't just focus on making money for herself and turn a deaf ear to these people who are bent on killing herself and the people she cares about most. But after eating it for a while, she regretted it.
This reunion dinner is similar to going out as a guest, you can't eat at all, at most it is to cushion your stomach, the eldest lady sandwiches the dishes, the rest of the people can clip it, the eldest lady doesn't eat, everyone has to put down the chopsticks. I'm afraid this kind of rice is even more difficult to swallow than prison food. And this tormenting reunion dinner was eaten for an hour before it was dispersed.
Maybe the eldest lady was a little busy a few days ago, or maybe Mu Qian was a little drunk after drinking some wine. Anyway, Mu Chenxue finally got the order and could go back to the backyard to rest. Hurriedly pulled his mother and younger brother and went back to the backyard all the time.
When they entered the courtyard door, they instructed Jiang's mother to lock the door and let Fanghua enter the small kitchen to prepare food for them, "But I'm starving to death, isn't Brother Jiu'er full?" ”
"Well, my father and second uncle only care about drinking, the eldest brother takes care of the starling, and the cousin pulls the second cousin to talk, and I am the youngest, so I don't dare to eat more. Sister, I want to eat the dumplings you wrapped! "Muchen Feng actually likes the festival very much, at least he can be closer to his father. But he is just a child after all, and he will have a little temper if he can't eat enough.
"Okay, we'll have a bite at noon, and we'll eat dumplings together as a family in the evening!" My brother wants to eat dumplings, and today is the Winter Festival, which is in season, so she naturally responds to it in one bite.
Waiting for the meal to be served, several people chatted while eating, and even Jiang's mother and Fanghua followed to the table. The family talks and laughs, which is more like a festival than a family dinner.
"Fifth sister, my father took the homework test for me and starlings today, although I entered the county school late, but I learned more than starlings. My father was very happy! Mu Chenfeng was praised by his father, and he was naturally happy in his heart, but Mu Chenxue didn't think so.
"Does that father have a boast of starling?" If the father only praised the ninth brother in front of everyone, I am afraid that the eldest lady will find fault again.
"Praise! I also heard from the eldest brother that now the master of the family only teaches the starling alone, but he is more attentive than before, so the starling has also made great progress! "There are two masters in the family study, one is to enlighten the starling brother and the ninth brother, and the other is to teach the eldest young master Mu Peng and Mu Yu. Of course, there is also Cao Yangming, who studied hard.
"That's good!" Mu Chenxue breathed a sigh of relief, and Aunt Cheng didn't see her daughter's worries. The son can be praised by the master, she is very happy in her heart, and asked the ninth brother, what else did the father say, how did he answer, etc.
The mother and son rarely chatted in one place. Mu Chenxue watched from the sidelines, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her heart, "It seems that my mother still has a father in her heart, if she proposes to open another mansion in the future, I don't know if my mother is willing?" Thinking about this, I feel that the road ahead is uncertain, and I am afraid that things will not be easy to handle by then.
After a simple meal, and chatted for a while, several people felt a little tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest, only to wait for the evening to say goodbye, and then came back to eat reunion dumplings with the whole family, but in the evening, they had just eaten dumplings, and were drinking tea to eliminate food, but they waited for an unexpected person.
The person who came was the old man Mu Qian, who peeked at Aunt Cheng at the family banquet. This man has a common problem, he likes to be fresh and exciting. Although there are not many wives and concubines in Mu Qian, it is not that he does not value women, but because of financial limitations. Otherwise, the shogunate wouldn't have only a few aunts.
But even though there are not many people, several concubines were all beautiful back then, but this woman has a child, and after the age of thirty, she is naturally older than a man. Especially the eldest lady, because of her calculations and hard work, she is older than several concubines.
And this Aunt Cheng has been suppressed by the eldest lady, so she didn't dare to dress up. And since giving birth to Brother Jiu'er, he has devoted himself to the child, so when he was taken to the backyard by his wife, Mu Qian didn't feel much pity. Even because of the relationship between the eldest lady and the environment of the backyard, I haven't even entered the door of the backyard.
At today's family banquet, Mu Qianyuan didn't pay attention to Aunt Cheng, but the position where he was sitting happened to be able to see Cheng, and he was immediately attracted by the red plum blossoms on her head. When I looked closely, I found that Cheng was sitting among the wives and concubines, and he was not inferior, and even looked more charming, just like the red plums that bloomed in winter.
So after dinner, I was itchy and couldn't care if my wife would be angry, so I asked Steward Liu to come to the backyard secretly with a lantern. When I entered the hospital, I found that the backyard was very different from the past, there was no longer that unpleasant smell, and there was even a smell of plums. Although the yard is not large, there are no rockery flower beds dotted in the meantime, but the vivid snow sculptures, the snowman tied with red cloth, is more beautiful than the inner courtyard.
This snow sculpture and snowman are the works of play with the morning snow with the curtain when it snowed a few days ago. I didn't think about what would happen at the beginning, after all, no one thought that Mu Qian would suddenly come to the backyard. But this unexpected joy left a deep impression on Mu Qian, and he would come to the backyard to see Aunt Cheng Wen Cun in the future.
This is the first time that the master has come to the backyard, so although Aunt Cheng and Mu Chenfeng were surprised, they were more happy, and the two of them were busy greeting each other, as if they were greeting a guest who had not come to the door for a long time. Only Mu Chenxue was secretly worried, but he was afraid that after tonight, the peaceful days in the backyard would come to an end. I'm afraid that all the previous plans are not as difficult to cope with as this sudden change.
However, everyone had already come, and she couldn't invite people out, so Mu Chenxue had to order Fanghua to serve tea and snacks carefully. (To be continued.) )
