Chapter 19, Reckoning
Jiang's mother mentioned to Aunt Cheng that she would let the fifth lady go to school in Chenxue. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but both of them know that if the master doesn't open his mouth, he will definitely not allow it if he just points to the eldest lady.
Mu Chenxue didn't know that Aunt Cheng was planning to let her go to school, she was busy with the medicinal herbs in her hand at this moment, thinking about how to open the shop. After all, she is a modern law-abiding citizen who has never done human trafficking. And this is ancient times, there is no patent secrecy, so you can only hold the shopkeeper in the store so as not to divulge trade secrets.
After thinking about it, the best shopkeeper is Jiang's mother's son, but the name of her shop is not right, so she must find a reason, otherwise Jiang's mother will definitely be suspicious, and she will not be able to explain it at that time.
With this shopkeeper, the store still needs a guy, and it needs to be rearranged and decorated, and the shopkeeper has to help her do these things. She was watched tightly by Aunt Cheng and Mother Jiang at this time, not to mention sneaking out of the house, even if she disappeared for a moment and a half, it would arouse suspicion.
After a busy morning, she cleaned up the medicine village that was collected, she didn't plan to sell these medicinal materials to the medicine store, unless the shogunate's brother and sister were sick, the eldest lady would ask a doctor to catch the medicine, like them who were abandoned in the backyard to fend for themselves, but they all pointed to these medicinal materials to save their lives.
At noon, he accompanied Mu Chenfeng to dinner, and he mentioned the matter of going to the county school again, "Ninth brother, there is still half a month to go to my father's birthday, and you have to wait until after your father's birthday banquet to go to the county school, so you have to endure it a little more these days." Remember! Don't have any conflicts with starlings, so that the eldest lady will be punished again! ”
"Hmm!" No matter how mature Mu Chenfeng is, he is just a six-year-old child, and he can't pretend to be a child, but fortunately, after a long time under this kind of parasitic fence, his temperament has been somewhat honed, otherwise if this matter is put on the starling, I am afraid that he would have made a lot of noise a long time ago.
"Mother, when my father had his birthday in the past, did the eldest lady have a banquet?" Although this meal is not fast, there are only three of them in the backyard, and there are no more taboos in the morning. And she is sick and forgetful, Aunt Cheng is not surprised.
"It's not that the whole birthday lady usually doesn't feast, at most the whole family gets together for a reunion dinner! However, next month, the eldest young master will participate in the academy examination presided over by the academic master, and I think he should take advantage of the master's birthday to feast the guests and pave the way for the imperial examination of the eldest young master! "Before participating in the hospital examination, you have to go through the county examination and the government examination, and those who pass can participate in the hospital examination. Only those who pass the college examination can obtain the qualification of students and can be called "Xiucai".
The shogunate's eldest young master, Makuho, only turned 15 in February this year and performed the crown ceremony. Thinking about waiting for the hospital to pass the trial, it is just right to discuss the family. This has a fame, and it is easier to discuss relatives, and this is a family, and wait for three years to participate in the township examination, and the introduction of a person can just become a parent. Of course, these are just wishful thinking on the part of Mu Qian and the eldest lady Cheng. This imperial examination is similar to the college entrance examination, and it is not certain whether it can be passed.
Mu Chenxue calculated while listening to her heart, of course she had to make good use of this birthday banquet, and let her cheap father know that in addition to a few children in the shogunate, he also had many children. It is a big sin to know that you are alive and not to know how to raise. But she didn't think to tell Aunt Cheng about these things, first, she was afraid that she would be frightened. Second, I am afraid that she will oppose and stop Mu Qian because she still has affection for Mu Qian.
"Mother, the ninth brother and I don't even have a new dress, I saw a few slightly faded brocades here here a few days ago, can you take these cloths to make clothes for me and the ninth brother?"
"Hey, that cloth was rewarded by the lord when Brother Jiu was born, I have not been willing to use it, these years have been put aside, even if it is carefully maintained, but the color is not as good as before. I'm afraid that the new clothes I made will be no different from the old ones! It's not that Aunt Cheng doesn't want to make new clothes for her children, but there is not even a decent piece of fabric in the backyard, and every time she thinks about it, she can't help but feel sad.
"Although the color has faded a little, and the pattern is not the current fashion, it is finally a new clothes, and it is not good for us to wear old clothes to celebrate my father's birthday on my father's birthday!" It's a robe, and of course it has to be made.
Aunt Cheng looked at her daughter's eagerness, and she couldn't caress her daughter's heart, so she nodded in response. Mu Chenxue continued to bow her head to eat. She didn't pay attention, Ninth Brother Mu Chenfeng frowned and looked at her secretly.
Everyone in the backyard was having lunch with a lot of worries, and the eldest lady of the upper house in the main courtyard was also discussing with the old man Mu Qian, "Master, Peng'er has just performed the crown ceremony, can you be sure of the end this year?" When the eldest lady thought that her son was going to take the exam, she felt a little uneasy.
"I have taken Peng'er's homework these days, and I have discussed with my master, although Peng'er is young, but in the county examination in February, after five exams, I have learned solidly, and it is not a big problem to participate in the government examination and the hospital examination. It's just that this exam has to be taken three times in a row, and I'm a little worried about Peng'er's body. These days, Mrs. has bothered a lot to make up for Peng'er, don't do your homework when the time comes, but it's a pity that your body can't hold on! "Mu Qian has also gone through the imperial examination, and he has a deep understanding of the hardships in it.
"That's natural, the lord just rest assured, Peng'er is the eldest son of the shogunate, and he will set up a household for the lord in the future, and this body is naturally the most important thing!" How could the eldest lady lose her son, not to mention that this son is still the eldest son and eldest grandson, and he will rely on her in the future.
"Have you written all the invitations to the banquet? These days should also be sent to the provinces. Especially the students who are at the university! Although the academic and political masters may not be here in person at this time, this post should be sent back! ”
"The concubine has already written the post a month ago, and the master will help me take a look, if there is no problem, I will send it to the mansions early in the morning!" The eldest lady waved her hand, and the maid next to her, Jinhong, took a box from the side and handed it over.
"There is a good wife in the family, and it is very safe to be a husband!" Mu Qian helped his wife's hand, and then took the box. Although he doesn't have much love for this wife, he respects him very much. So such sweet words are often said in those two sentences.
The nurses and maids around the eldest lady all pursed their mouths and snickered, they were also happy for the master, the lord could rely on the lady so much, even if he stayed in the upper room for less time, he was not afraid of being divided and pampered.
Mu Qian's birthday banquet is joyful and sad. The second master of the shogunate in the front yard and the Fang family, who lived in the shogunate, were also discussing this matter.
