Chapter 42: Upbringing
The old lady's eyes shrank into a line when she heard this, and she immediately waved her hand to ask Mother Wang to step back.
After Mother Wang stepped back, she said to Mu Qing in a deep voice, "Men and women don't sit at the same table when they are seven years old, you should know, you see that Mu Yan has avoided it, how can you still go to eat vegetarian food with you?" ”
Mu Qing bit his lip and didn't speak.
The eldest lady was also very embarrassed.
The old lady sighed angrily, threw the sandalwood bracelet in her hand on the kang table, rubbed her eyebrows and said, "The rules are learned like this, what should I do if I marry in the future?" ”
Mu Qing pouted, and said in a low voice for a long time, "At that time, I didn't go alone, there were also Zhou Wenyuan, the daughter of the cabinet bachelor Lord Zhou, Miss Chen, and the second sister...... Didn't the second sister go too? ”
The eldest lady hurriedly pulled Mu Qing's sleeve, shrunk her eyebrows and reprimanded, "You kid, just listen carefully, who let you pull out so much?" Others are other people's ways, and you should take care of yourself. ”
The old lady's face was unhappy.
The eldest lady hurriedly said to the old lady again, "Qing'er, she ...... She's still ......."
"Still young?" The old lady raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Three-year-old looks young, seven-year-old looks old, she is still thirteen years old?" When you were thirteen, you were already married, and if you look at her again, you are still doing nonsense. ”
"I ......," the eldest lady suddenly felt short of words, and stammered for a long time before saying, "I will discipline her well, don't worry." ”
The old lady glared at the eldest lady, her gaze swept over Mu Qing again, and said, "That's it, I don't think you have the ability to raise her well, let her be grounded for seven days first, and after seven days, let her move in with me, and then I will raise her, so you don't have to interfere." ”
"Mother...... Mu Qing frowned anxiously, and hurriedly looked at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady had no choice but to purse her lips and whisper, "Qing'er, she is too noisy, I am only afraid of disturbing your rest here......"
"Needless to say, it's decided." The old lady raised her hand and interrupted the eldest lady at once, and at the same time took a sip of the tea bowl on the table, and said lightly, "Next month is Xue Guifei's birthday, and the emperor specially allows her to spend her birthday at home. ”
The eldest lady nodded and said thoughtfully, "I'll come over with the master that night, do you have to be free?" ”
The old lady said "um", and by the way, "Let the second and third children come over and discuss together." ”
The eldest lady respectfully responded.
The old lady half-squinted her eyes and said that she was tired, and the eldest lady quickly retreated with Mu Qing very interestingly.
After coming out of De'an Yuan, Mu Qing pouted and said to the eldest lady with an unhappy face, "I don't want to live with my grandmother, I want to live alone." ”
The eldest lady's face was very heavy, if it was usual, she would definitely coax Mu Qing to say a few words, but today she was not in the mood, she just said coldly, "Go back with me first." ”
The tone is particularly tough and cannot be questioned at all.
Mu Qing has never seen her mother like this, and she also has some eyesight, if she still talks back at this point, she will really become a big fool.
didn't dare to reply, she cautiously followed the eldest lady to the eldest lady's Zhiqiu Courtyard.
After entering the house, the eldest lady ordered all the maids and women to retreat, and then asked Mu Qing to close the door.
Mu Qing felt that the momentum was very bad, and his scalp was numb for a while.
The eldest lady poured herself a cup of warm tea and poured several large sips in succession, as if she was extremely thirsty.
In fact, she is very hot, so she has to press it with tea.
After drinking the tea, she looked at Mu Qing who was standing aside and fiddling with her fingers with a calm face, and said coldly, "You say, what's going on with you today?" Why is it so out of line? ”
Mu Qing clasped her fingers, in fact, she also regretted beating Mu Yan impulsively at that time, but at that time she just couldn't help her temper.
She pursed her lips and didn't speak.
The eldest lady was even more angry, and said in a deep voice, "It's come to this point, how do you think I will say good things about you in front of your grandmother in the future?" How can I protect you? ”
Mu Qing's mouth pursed higher, and it took a long time before he regretted it, "Oh mother, I also know that I was wrong, I shouldn't have ...... I shouldn't have beaten Mu Yan, but ...... But I'm just angry, you said that she was a child, why was she so ...... in front of Miss Xue So what about it? I'm the concubine, okay......"
"Nonsense." The eldest lady's heart, liver and lungs hurt when she heard these words, and she pressed one hand on her chest and gasped, "You yourself say that you are a concubine, how can you surrender your identity to a head-on conflict with a recruiting child?" If you hit her, what have you become? To outsiders, you are simply ridiculous. ”
Mu Qing almost paused with regret, and said with teary eyes in his eyes for a while, "I know it's wrong, don't say it." ”
"Know it's wrong?" The eldest lady snorted, she knew her daughter best, and said that she knew that she was wrong, but she would make the same mistake in a few days, and she had no memory at all.
"Anyway, I'll ...... It's okay not to provoke Mu Yan in the future......" Mu Qing pouted and made the biggest concession, and at the same time said aggrievedly, "You can't blame me for being angry, outsiders say that if there is no Mu Yan's recruitment, there will be no me and my brother, think about it, can I not be angry after hearing these words?" The tone was slightly complaining, pinching his fingers and whispering, "Mother...... Why did you bring her back then? If you don't bring it, you can give birth to me and my brother, I don't want a sister-in-law like her......"
The eldest lady sighed irritably, how could she want a daughter-in-law like Mu Yan?
But the marriage contract has been there since childhood, and almost everyone in Yanjing City knows about it, how to regret the marriage?
If you regret your marriage, what do outsiders think of the Mu family? A century-old family, reputation is the most important.
"Mother...... Are you really planning to let your brother marry Mu Yan? Mu Qing pouted and blinked, and said unhappily, "My brother is also the eldest son and grandson, how can he marry a woman like her as a wife?" ”
The eldest lady pursed her lips and said nothing, "You don't understand, you don't understand." ”
"Why don't I understand?" Mu Qing disagreed, raised his eyebrows and said, "I know you don't like her either, but for the sake of our family's face, you have to keep her ......."
When the eldest lady heard this, she quickly looked around, twisted her eyebrows and told Mu Qing in a deep voice, "Don't go out to say this, if outsiders listen to it, what do you think of me?" ”
Of course, Mu Qing knew that it was a powerful relationship, and nodded for a while, "I'm just sorry for my brother......"
"You take care of your own affairs, and your brother's affairs are decided by the elders in the family." The eldest lady sat up straight and asked in a low voice about the two brothers of the Xue family.
Mu Qing is not young, when she was thirteen years old, she had already decided on the Mu family's family affairs, so she has been thinking about Mu Qing's family affairs in her heart.
