Chapter 27, Admitting Mistakes
There were a lot of rumors at a birthday banquet in the shogunate, although it was not a big deal, but the good-faced shogunate master Muqian was so angry that he was furious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 When Mu Chenxue got the news, his father was about to send a housekeeper to the backyard to pass Aunt Cheng and her party to the front yard to ask for the crime.
Before Steward Liu left the gate of the front yard, he saw the fifth young lady pulling the ninth young master into the courtyard, "The fifth young lady came just in time, the master was just about to send a slave to the backyard to invite someone!" ”
"There is Lao Liu in charge, I just heard Jiang's mother talk about it, and then I realized that there was a lot of gossip outside, I was afraid that my father would be angry for a while, and it would be unfilial piety for a child!" Mu Chenxue entered the front yard at this time, even if Steward Liu was careless, he knew what was going on, and if he could get news in the backyard, it must be the words of Jiang Ma, who often went in and out of the shogunate. These are not secrets, and Mu Chenxue didn't want to hide anything at all.
However, Steward Liu was still surprised, in his impression, although the fifth lady used to follow the eldest lady, she had never spoken like this, neither humble nor resistant, and even made him feel a sense of awe. This feeling is rarely seen in the young master and young lady of the shogunate. Not to mention Miss Shu, who has always been unpopular, she was suspicious in her heart, and she couldn't help but peek at Miss Fifth twice.
Mu Chenxue also knew that her behavior at the moment was very different from before, but this person was of use to her, and she didn't want to show weakness to this person. And she felt that although Steward Liu was in charge of the entire shogunate, she usually only stayed in the outer courtyard, and she was young, so the two should not have too much contact. But at this time, I was peeped at by Steward Liu, and I am afraid that this shogunate really understands this steward. He also had a little more thought, so as not to show any horses.
Steward Liu brought the two into the study, and Mu Chenxue didn't wait for Mu Qian to speak first, so she pulled Mu Chenfeng and knelt down directly.
"If the daughter is unfilial, the father will be angry!" Mu Chenxue kowtowed, and then continued, "I heard someone mention it just now, and then there were some gossips outside the prefect's mansion that made my father angry. My aunt also wanted to come to the hospital to ask for guilt, but a few days ago, I accompanied Brother Jiu'er to punish her kneeling and injured her leg, and she was unable to move at this time, so she couldn't come, and asked her father to blame her mistake! "Anyway, the shogunate won't ask an aunt to see a doctor, and no one will really go to the backyard to see what is going on, so Makuchenxue's lie is quite smooth.
Mu Chenfeng followed his sister to salute, but he kept silent, and before leaving the backyard, his sister advised, "It's good to say less!" ”。
Mu Qian was originally a fire in his belly, but looking at the two children kneeling on the ground, and hearing that Aunt Cheng was punished for kneeling, the anger in his heart weakened by three points, but he still had a cloudy face and did not ask the two children to get up.
Mu Chenxue saw that Mu Qian's eyebrows were slightly loosened, and she hurriedly knelt down and took a step, and then continued, "Actually, my aunt planned to arrange two maids for her daughter and Brother Jiu'er to serve earlier, but my father also knew that there were few leaks in the backyard, and there was nowhere to place them. And my daughter doesn't have to go to school, and I'm not too young, so some of the work of sprinkling and washing can't be difficult for me, so why bother to let the mother worry more about her daughter! ”
At first glance, Mu Chenxue's words sounded like he was thinking about the eldest lady and was full of filial piety, but Steward Liu, who was already suspicious, still heard the deep meaning of these words, although he didn't look up, but he didn't have a trace of contempt for this fifth lady in his heart. Even deep in my heart, I remembered a voice, "I'm afraid that this shogunate is going to change!" ”
"But I don't want Brother Jiu'er to reach the age of going out for a banquet, it's the daughter who is worried about making her father angry!"
In fact, Mu Qian also understands in his heart that these things are not at all for an aunt to decide, and her daughter is bent on taking the mistake into account, probably in order to protect her mother's face, but she is a filial child.
A few words can make his father's face change again and again, and Mu Chenfeng didn't understand why his sister wanted to protect his mother-in-law. He was bent on blaming his mother-in-law for all these mistakes. It can be regarded as a good vent of the anger of these years. But now that my sister has taken the mistake up, my father not only did not get angry, but was much more relaxed than when they first entered the door, and even waved his hand to call the two of them up to talk back.
Seeing that his father's face had eased, he continued, "Father, when I came here just now, my aunt told my daughter that the servants in the inner courtyard are now leading the messengers, and it is really not good for Mrs. Lao to be distracted by these trivial matters, and the ninth brother and aunt have only made up for the month, thinking that they will use the silver to build two houses in the backyard, and then ask Steward Liu to help buy two minions, and this slave will be the same as Jiang's mother, and the monthly case will be issued by the backyard itself, so that the problem will be solved. It is also a call to outsiders to show the love of fathers and mothers. If you think about it, those gossips will be self-defeating! ”
Mu Chen Xueyuan planned to use this silver to do business, but this rumor was together, and the nurse next to the eldest lady was suspicious of herself, and she was afraid that this silver might not be able to be kept in their hands, so it was better to do a favor and make herself more comfortable.
A few days ago, Mu Qian was angry and supplied more than 200 taels of silver in the backyard, and it was inevitable that there would be some pain in his heart after that. I was relieved, but I wanted to see my aunt Cheng who I hadn't seen for more than a year, and I missed Cheng's gentleness at the beginning. These are all things that the eldest lady does not have.
"Cheng's is not a young lady from Cheng's house, but she is really a general, since she has this heart, this matter of building a house will be handed over to Steward Liu to supervise! When the house is finished, buy two more minions from the man! ”
Seeing that the angry old man had only been for a moment, Steward Liu had a smile on his face, and he couldn't help his curiosity about the fifth lady anymore, and secretly looked at it a few more times.
"Father, this slave doesn't need to be too old, it's best to be a pair of sisters and brothers, and the ninth brother went to the house to learn and go out of the house with a small servant. And there is Jiang's mother in the backyard to help with training, Jiang's mother has said before, this young minion, the price can be cheaper! "Mu Chenxue doesn't have much money in her hand, she has to build a house to buy a slave, and she has to give the slave a monthly example, she has no financial resources at this time, of course she has to save flowers. And she still has her own thoughts.
"Cheng's mother Jiang is also a safe one, so it's up to you!" Even if this matter is solved, Mu Qian still has some official documents to deal with, so he waved his hand and let the two retreat.
Mu Chenxue walked out of the door of the study, and did not leave in a hurry, but stood not far from the door and waited for a while, and saw that Steward Liu had withdrawn, so he saluted him, "The backyard suddenly added these troubles, so that Steward Liu bothered, my aunt told me to say thank you to the steward on her behalf!" ”
"This can be tormented by the slave, the slave is just a subordinate, but he never dares to accept the courtesy of the young lady!" Steward Liu has long lost his contempt for this fifth lady, where can he dare to accept her courtesy.
"For as long as I can remember, Steward Liu has helped my father take care of the entire shogunate, and this loyalty is not inferior to the filial piety of our children, even if my aunt doesn't tell me, this ceremony is also appropriate!" Mu Chenxue didn't just talk about it, but really gave Steward Liu a big gift. The Ninth Young Master is a kind of learner, and he also saluted.
Steward Liu hurriedly turned sideways and got out of the way, how dare he really accept the gift, but gave Mu Chenxue a big gift before replying, "A slave can serve the master when he is young, that is a great blessing for a slave." In the future, if the fifth lady has any orders, the slaves must do their best! Mu Chenxue smiled in her heart, this person really understood everything, and what she was waiting for was this.
