Chapter 37, Getting Out of Trouble
After Mu Chenxue returned home, it was not until the beginning of Shen Shichu that there was a noisy sound of people in the inner courtyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can even faintly hear the voice of the eldest lady reprimanding the subordinate.
Without the order of the eldest lady, Mu Chenxue couldn't go out to inquire about the news, so she could only stay in the backyard and wait patiently. Fortunately, she didn't wait too long, and the voice of the coachman talking came from the lower room outside the partition wall, "Old Weitou, what the eldest lady asked for the eldest young master is to sign it?" Or will there be some surprises in this imperial examination? How did you lose your temper so much? The voice of the eldest lady reprimanding the subordinates just now was also heard by several coachmen.
"Not really!" Old Wei Tou is not very old, but he is in his early forties, but he is very old-fashioned, so everyone in the house calls him so. This person has been working as a coachman in the shogunate since he was 10 years old, and now he has been in the shogunate for 30 years, so when the shogunate or the Cheng family goes out of the house, they all take his car. Naturally, the news is better than others.
"I listened to the master's meaning, it should have begged for a good sign, but when the sign was unsigned, the Qingyun Zhenren of Xiayunguan mentioned the groundbreaking of the house, and he actually said that it was not good to say that it would not be broken, which was an excellent omen. The old man blamed the eldest lady for talking nonsense, and even stopped the construction period of the backyard, which affected the fortune of the shogunate or something, and I didn't listen to the specifics too clearly, in short, you should be careful these days, say less and do more to save yourself from being corrected by the eldest lady, and you will be punished in vain! ”
After that, Mu Chenxue didn't listen carefully, because the effect she wanted had been achieved, and she happily went back to the house and waited for Steward Liu to come to the door. Sure enough, it didn't take an hour, and Steward Liu personally came to the backyard to spread the word, saying that the master had given an order, and he had discussed it with the craftsmen, and Ming'er would continue to work, so that Aunt Cheng and others would prepare early and not go out during the day.
"Fifth sister, you are really at stake!" Mu Chenfeng's eyes flashed with admiration, looking at this omnipotent sister, he even had a feeling that no matter what difficulties he encountered, his sister could solve them very beautifully and properly. He no longer has to be afraid of the eldest lady, he is afraid of the starling.
"What my sister can do is just a little thing, when the ninth brother grows up, my sister still needs you to protect her!" Adored by others, Mu Chenxue's little vanity has been greatly satisfied.
Everyone in the backyard was overjoyed, and Mu Chenxue specially made a table of delicious food to celebrate. However, the upper room in the inner courtyard was gloomy, and the maids didn't even dare to breathe, and they tiptoed, just afraid that the eldest lady would hear something and be scolded and punished.
The eldest lady was discussing with the nurse with a gloomy face, "This Qingyun real person doesn't know if it's a real spirit, how can it be that the house is being built in the prefect's mansion, and it is a good omen that it is not broken." provoked the old man to resentful of me because of the shutdown. When I returned home, I went to the slut of the Ding family, and I didn't even stay to eat! Hateful! The eldest lady was so angry that she threw the teacup out casually.
The nurse ordered the maid next to her to sweep away the broken porcelain on the ground, so as not to be seen by the old man and cause any trouble, while comforting the lady, "That Qingyun Zhenren has not been to the house, and this good omen must be true." Madame only thinks that everything is for the good of the eldest young master, and her heart is naturally calm. Why bother arguing with the old man for a while, so that the villain can get cheap for nothing! ”
The eldest lady understands in her heart, but there is no woman who is not jealous, the eldest lady sees that Aunt Cheng is a hundred unpleasant, and when she thinks that the most eye-catching person not only has silver flowers, but even has a new house to live in, even if she understands it in her heart, she is still angry.
"This matter of building a house, I'm afraid that I won't be able to speak anymore, so the master directly instructed Steward Liu. But I can't breathe in my chest, what good idea does the nurse have? The eldest lady blamed Aunt Cheng for the master's dissatisfaction with her, but she didn't want all the things she encountered to be caused by her jealousy. I just thought that I couldn't let my aunts and concubines go well.
"Madame has served the master for so many years, even if the old slave doesn't say it, Madame has already figured out the temper of the master, and the lady has to be soft first, and the master will naturally stay in the upper room! As for Aunt Cheng, Mrs. doesn't care about building a house, isn't the ninth young master still studying at home? That master has taken so many benefits from his wife over the years, and it is not just a matter of his wife's words! "In the eyes of the eldest lady's nurse, only the eldest lady's concubine is the young master and miss in the house, and there is no difference between the concubines and the slaves, so it is recommended that the eldest lady train the ninth young master, which will make Aunt Cheng even more sad.
"This is also true, during the master's birthday banquet, Brother Jiu'er talked a lot, and I thought that I didn't learn well at home, and the master's punishment was too light!" The eldest lady had a fierce look in her eyes and agreed with the nurse's proposal.
Mu Chenfeng was reading in his room, and his body was cold inexplicably, thinking that the sky had changed outside, where would he have thought that it was already someone who was worried about it.
He didn't expect it, but Mu Chenxue thought of it, before the eldest lady suddenly attacked, she was caught off guard, although she was remedied, but she was also more wary of the eldest lady. Fanghua called Fang Yan, "Fang Yan, Ming'er's family school resumes, remember when you accompany the Ninth Young Master to go, pay attention to what the master said and did, and tell me when you come back!" ”
"Yes, the minion wrote it down!" Although Fang Yan has not been in the house for a long time, he still knows what happened in the backyard, this fifth lady is younger than his sister, but she can be decisive and delicate, and even the eldest lady can deliberately make things difficult and save the day. Not to mention that the Ninth Young Master worships the Fifth Miss, compared to Aunt Cheng, he also admires the Fifth Miss from the bottom of his heart.
Although Mu Chenxue is wary of the eldest lady making a move on Mu Chenfeng, things will always develop in unexpected directions. Trickery and strategy, offense and defense, such unstable days will accompany Mu Chenxue for the rest of his life. It's just that she doesn't know it at this time.
Nangong Shumo returned to King Qing's Mansion with the Danfang copied by Feng Wu, "Uncle Feng, can you find a doctor to see this Danfang?" ”
"Back to the master, the doctor said that he had never seen such a prescription, and he couldn't see what kind of disease it was curing, but a few of the precious medicinal materials had the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan. And it's hard to find money, and it's even hard to find. The subordinates think that Miss Maku's person, even if it is an expedient measure, it should not cause any damage to the body! ”
"Miss Maku's behavior should be like this, but even the doctor can't see this recipe, but I have to check it!" Nangong Shumo read the recipe carefully again, and then handed it to Feng Wu.
"The subordinates will look for a famous doctor and inquire about the origin of the prescription, why doesn't the master ask Miss Mu about the origin of his teacher?"
"She didn't say it at first, but I was afraid that she wouldn't tell the truth if I asked, and I didn't want to force her to lie to me!" Nangong Shumo has long regarded Mu Chenxue as an important person, although he doesn't want her to hide anything from him, he doesn't want her to lie to himself. He has lived almost all his life in deception and lies, and the most unbearable thing is that the person he cares about the most deceives himself.
"Master!" Feng Wu wanted to persuade a few more words, but when he saw that his master had closed his eyes and was already deep in thought, he had to bow and retreat.
