Chapter 68: Settled
After dressing up Siqin, the eldest lady immediately took her to Master Mu's study to see Master Mu.
The son wants to add a room, and the eldest lady must not be able to make the decision on her own, and she must let the eldest master know and agree.
When the eldest lady arrived in the study, the eldest lord Mu Xiuyuan was practicing calligraphy in the study, wearing a homely plain Confucian robe, and his demeanor was extremely serious.
The eldest lady reminded Si Qin in a low voice, "You will answer truthfully whatever the master asks you later, remember, you must be docile and well-behaved." ”
The eldest man likes the kind of well-behaved and sensible children.
Si Qin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and didn't dare to slack off.
Of course, she can't be lazy.
The position of Tongfang is tantamount to being a new person for her, in case she has a good life and has the heirs of the Mu family in the future, there will definitely be more prosperous and wealthy days at that time......
The eldest master only concentrated on writing, and the eldest lady stepped forward lightly and poured a cup of hot tea and quietly put it on the desk, and rolled up her sleeves to polish the ink for the eldest master, and said in a soft tone, "The master is also tired of practicing calligraphy, right?" Why don't you take a break? ”
The eldest lord said "hmm", and after lifting the pen and putting down a stroke, he said lightly, "I can't practice the charm of Liu Gong after practicing the word 'long' for a long time......"
He sighed softly, his face dissatisfied.
The eldest lady looked at the words on the rice paper, and for her, the word "long" had been written well enough, but the eldest lady had always been very demanding in practicing calligraphy and kept improving.
"Why don't you take a break for a cup of tea before writing?" The eldest lady stopped her movements and glanced at Siqin.
Si Qin is also a clever girl, and she immediately understood what the eldest lady meant, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the hot tea made by the eldest lady on the table and respectfully handed it to the eldest lady.
"Sir, please have tea." The sound of the violin is thin and soft.
The eldest man was stunned for a moment, he stopped his pen and looked at Si Qin, turned his head in confusion and asked the eldest lady, "Who is she?" ”
The eldest lady didn't hesitate, and said with a smile, "I prepared a room for Yang'er, can you take a look?" ”
"Tongfang?" The old man put down the brush, and his eyebrows wrinkled together.
There are not many people in the Mu family who have a room, why did he suddenly remember to arrange a room for his son?
The eldest man looked at Si Qin again in a blink of an eye, and Si Qin stood with a well-behaved face, and his expression was a little shy.
The eldest lady was afraid that the eldest lady would not agree, so she hurriedly said, "The old lady has also agreed to this matter, and she has also seen it, and she is very satisfied." ”
"Really?" The old man wiped his hands and sat down on the chair behind him.
In fact, he didn't approve of arranging a room for Mu Chaoyang, the thirteen-year-old child was studying, and many women around him would only be distracted. And the room is different from the aunt, what to do if you have a child in the future? Moreover, Mu Chaoyang already has a baby on his body, and Mu Yan is raised in Mu Mansion, if he really arranges a room for Mu Chaoyang, what does Mu Yan think?
The eldest master thought about it in his heart, and said lightly, "What did Yang'er say?" What about the girl? ”
The eldest lady pinched the handkerchief, not daring to hide it, "Yang'er doesn't know about it yet, and I didn't let her know about it, I want to bring Siqin over to let you see ...... first."
The eldest man didn't speak, and after taking two sips of tea, he asked Siqin a few questions, which were nothing more than questions such as family age and so on.
Si Qin replied obediently, and from time to time he secretly glanced at the expression on the old man's face.
Seeing that the eldest master did not show a disgusted expression, she was a little relieved.
"You go back first, my wife and I still have something to say." The eldest master was silent for a long time and waved his hand at the violin.
Si Qin was panicked, not knowing whether the eldest master agreed or not.
The eldest lady glanced at her, she pinched her sleeves, hurriedly lowered her eyebrows, and bowed her knees obediently, and withdrew.
“…… Master, do you think this kid is okay? As soon as Siqin stepped down, the eldest lady couldn't wait to ask the eldest master's attitude.
Although the eldest lord was very disapproving of arranging a room for Mu Chaoyang, his mother had already agreed, and if he objected, it would seem that he was not sensible, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Since my mother has agreed, then I have no objection to this matter." His eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "It's just that why did you suddenly think of adding a room to Yang'er?" You know, there aren't many people in our Mu family who have a room, and Yang'er is learning and progressing, and there are many women around him, I'm afraid that he will be distracted and lose his mind......"
Subconsciously, the eldest man treats the maid as just an object, not for others to look at.
The eldest lady Tuan held the handkerchief in her hand, bowed her body and explained softly, "Yang'er is actually not small, it is time to go through the experience, and besides, he also needs a caring person by his side." Speaking of this, the eldest lady paused slightly, "Of course, in my selfish heart, I also think that I can use this matter to experience the experience of the girl, and when she is in charge in the future, she can also be more calm." ”
Hearing this, the eldest lord understood.
Of course, he didn't bother to care about these crooked things between women, so he only reminded him in a deep voice, "I don't care about your experience, but there is one thing you have to remember, the person who first proposed the marriage contract was our Mu family, we can't break the agreement, let alone embarrass others, what's wrong with her?" I was just a baby back then, what can I know? ”
In fact, in the Mu family, the only person who has really defended Mu Yan is Master Mu, his attitude and position are very clear, the Mu family must abide by the agreement, and they can't treat Mu Yan too badly.
The eldest lady was secretly unhappy when she heard this, but she didn't show anything on her face, and immediately said, "Don't worry, master, I will appease the girl over there." After a while, he said, "Besides, that child has always been well-behaved, and she should be able to understand my thoughts." ”。
The eldest man leaned back on the chair tiredly, pinched his eyebrows and said, "That's it, you can handle this matter well, there have been too many things in the court recently, and I don't bother to take care of these sesame rice grains." ”
The eldest lady hurriedly reached out to pinch the eldest man's shoulder, and said in a distressed tone, "Don't be too tired, don't be too tired, rest when you should rest." ”
"There's no time to rest." The eldest man closed his eyes and said, "There has been a great drought in the spring and summer in the north this year, and there are locust plagues in many places during the autumn harvest, and the people in more than 20 counties have no harvest. In the early days of the past few days, the emperor and all the ministers have been discussing this matter, and the emperor wants to send the eldest prince to help the victims......"
The eldest lord sighed deeply.
The Mu family has always supported the eldest prince in the government and the opposition.
The eldest lady was puzzled and frowned, "Isn't this a good thing?" Why did the lord sigh? ”
The prince personally went to help the victims, and this was the best opportunity to win people's hearts.
