Chapter 17, Greetings
Sending Nangong Shumo away, Mu Chenxue felt that these things in her hands were too much of an eyesore, in case someone found out, she was afraid that she would not be able to explain the matter clearly, and it would be worth the loss if it affected her mother and brother. The www.biquge.info found the silver under the bed and put it into the box together, found a loose floor tile, and buried the things in the ground together. When I was too busy, I went to bed with my tired body and rested. As for the stolen set of clothes and pants, Jiang Ma had quietly put them back before she left the house.
Early the next morning, the gatekeeper of the shogunate got up, and Jiang's mother hurriedly entered the house. "Nurse, why are you here so early today! It's not bright yet, I'm afraid that the ninth brother hasn't gotten up yet! Aunt Cheng chatted while looking at Mother Jiang, who was helping her clean water.
Jiang's mother got 20 taels of silver yesterday, even if her son's leg can be healed, she is even more grateful to this big and small master, so she came into the house early in the morning to serve, and she also wanted to make her conscience better.
"It was late spring, and the day was dawning earlier than it was in the winter. Miss Five even made breakfast, where is it still early. The old slave thought, it is better for the old slave to live in this backyard in the future, and it will save the fifth lady from getting up early in the morning to be tired. If you marry into your in-law's family in the future, you will inevitably be disliked by your husband! "Mother Jiang didn't mean to do this, she was thinking about Miss.
"Hey!" Aunt Cheng sighed and then continued, "This child has recovered from his illness, but it is like a different person, I originally thought that I would get up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for Brother Jiu'er, but she didn't let her, and said that I had to come by myself." I thought that eighty percent was because I was not good to the ninth brother before, and I got close to my brother by making breakfast, so I didn't stop her. "These things turned out to be what Aunt Cheng was doing, that is, since she recovered from Chenxue's illness, it was handed over to her, one is to let her learn more, and the other is to give her children the opportunity to get closer.
Aunt Cheng handed the clean towel to Jiang's mother, and then continued, "If the nurse does not go out of the shogunate sooner or later, it will still be a little inconvenient for our mother, but I am afraid that this backyard will have to run out of food and vegetables tomorrow!" ”
"If you want the old slave to say, it's all to blame on the master, if he can come to the backyard to have a look, how can he not let the young lady and young master suffer this hardship!" Jiang's mother also knows that what her aunt is telling is the truth, if she doesn't leave the house, I'm afraid that no one in this shogunate will remember that there are still three masters living in this backyard.
The two chatted for a while, and then saw the Ninth Young Master Mu Chenfeng, who had eaten, come over to ask for peace, because his family school started early, so he got up two quarters of an hour earlier than Aunt Cheng. After sending off the Ninth Young Master, Mu Chenxue accompanied her mother and Jiang's mother to have breakfast, and then went to the upper room of the main courtyard to greet the eldest lady.
Say goodbye, but you have to put a mask on your face and say some flattery against your will. Youzhou is not as good as Sizhou, where the capital is located, seeing that it is already the beginning of March, and the grass and trees are flourishing in spring, but the spring breeze will still feel cold and cold.
Out of the backyard, Chenxue didn't dare to hold Aunt Cheng's arm anymore, but gave up her position to Jiang's mother, and she herself took a few steps forward. In the eyes of the next people, it was Miss Fifth who didn't want to see Aunt Cheng, so she didn't even want to take two steps side by side with her. In fact, Mu Chenxue borrowed her body to help Aunt Cheng block the wind.
Today, it is all the people who invited An, but few of these people are known to Chenxue, and they are in the main courtyard at this time, so they have to pretend to be cold and arrogant, and enter the upper room without saying a word to everyone.
"The temperament of these five sisters is getting more and more incomprehensible, and they don't even call people when they are seriously ill!" I don't know who muttered behind it. Fortunately, the original curtain Chenxue may also be a bad one, so although it attracted some evil words, no one suspected it.
When a group of people entered the house one after another and sat down, Mu Chenxue could be clearly divided this time.
The eldest lady was still sitting in the center, wearing a slightly brighter skirt than yesterday, a skirt made of red brocade with jujube patterns, perhaps because it was cold in the morning, and a purple gown embroidered with broken flowers on the placket. It's just that the golden hairpin on the head is the same as yesterday's, which shows that such jewelry can be regarded as a scene in a person like the shogunate.
There is a middle-aged woman sitting on the left hand side of the eldest lady, listening to her conversation with the eldest lady, and Mu Chenxue knows that this person is the younger brother of Mu Qian, the wife of the second master of the shogunate, the Liang family.
This Liang is the same age as the Cheng family, but he looks much younger. Because of his jealousy, his mother's background is higher than that of the second master who has no official position, so the second master is not allowed to take concubines, only allowed to receive a house, and is not allowed to have a child, so the second master only has a son-in-law Mu Yu, one year younger than the eldest son of the shogunate, 14 this year.
The Liang family is even said to be a jealous woman, so few people have dealings with her. But only he knows the warmth and coldness of this life, just looking at the happiness on Liang's face, he knows that his life is a little more nourishing than that of the hostess of the shogunate.
There was also a woman sitting on the right hand side of the eldest lady, dressed quite plainly, and her face was not powdered. Although he was smiling, there was a sadness in his eyes. This person should be Fang Shi, the daughter of the eldest lady's uncle's family, who lives in the shogunate with his son Cao Yangming.
As the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are short, Mu Chenxue never expected these two people to help her say a few words of justice, as long as these two people do not fall into the ground, it is a great grace. So Mu Chenxue entered the door, but he looked at the two of them clearly in a moment.
And the girl standing in front of her in a madder brocade skirt doesn't need to be elaborated to know that it is her sister-in-law, the eldest lady's biological daughter, the famous pearl in the palm of the shogunate, and the fourth sister curtain rain.
Several aunts followed the ladies to greet the eldest lady, and the eldest lady only waved her hand to the fourth sister, and before the curtain rain was served, she was helped up by the eldest lady's side Jincui.
"Mother's good daughter, I didn't say I was tired yesterday, why did I get up so early today, and I didn't sleep for a while!" The eldest lady seemed to have not seen the person still kneeling in the house, and pulled her daughter to talk about family life.
Several daughters and aunts from the concubines did not wake up when they saw that the eldest lady did not call, and they did not dare to move. None of the others moved, and Mu Chenxue naturally didn't get up first, so she had to kneel together. But I have already scolded the eldest lady in my heart. even remembered the "easy to kneel" in the TV series "Huanzhu Gege", and when she went back, she had to do two, otherwise she would have to kneel from time to time, which would be really torturous.
In the heart of the eldest lady, she felt that these people could not compare with her daughter, but she never thought that her move was not to love her daughter, but to attract the envy of her daughter.
