The next morning, Mu Yan freshened up and dressed neatly, and then took the peach and green to De'an Yuan to greet Mrs. Mu.

It was time for the old lady to have breakfast.

There are a few light and delicious side dishes on the lacquered red sandalwood kang table, boiled glutinous glutinous wolfberry japonica rice porridge, and a plate of lotus leaf fragrant cakes.

Seven or eight maids and women gathered around the perimeter and waited in an orderly manner.

Mu Yan lowered his eyebrows and bowed his knees to say goodbye.

After swallowing a mouthful of hot porridge, Mrs. Mu raised her eyelids and hummed, and casually pointed to the brocade on the ground.

Mama Hu understood, and immediately smiled and whispered to the maid on the side to move the brocade for Mu Yan to sit on.

The Mu family has always been silent about eating.

Mu Yan is clear in her heart, and at the moment, Mrs. Mu doesn't talk to her, one is because she is having breakfast, and the other is also making rules for her, so that she can understand who is the biggest here......

Mu Yan sneered in his heart

She wasn't going to just sit on the bench and do something.

"Mother Hu, take a break, let me serve the old lady," smiling slightly, Mu Yan stood beside Mrs. Mu neatly, rolled up her sleeves with one hand, and took a pair of silver chopsticks on the table with the other, and clamped a chopstick coupon for Mrs. Mu.

Seeing this, Hu's mother frowned and coughed dryly.

The rest of the maids and women were also stunned.

They all knew that there was only one girl who could serve Mrs. Mu closely, and only Mu Qing had such an honor.

For example, Mu Rui and Mu Xiao didn't dare to walk in front of Mrs. Mula, let alone Mu Yan.

Peach Red and Green Wu were shocked in her heart, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Old Madam Mu remained motionless.

There was silence in the house, but a few finches chirped in the pomegranate tree in front of the window.

A few fallen leaves fell to the ground.

Mu Yan's spine was straight, with a faint smile on his face, as peaceful as a hibiscus after the rain.

Old Lady Mu swept her eyes over Mu Yan's body, but saw that the woman in front of her had a beautiful face, wearing a light cyan half-worn gown, without powder, and not a single piece of jewelry from head to toe.

In this mansion, it is shabby to dress so plainly, but the indifference and firmness on Mu Yan's face suppressed this shabby atmosphere, and if you look at it carefully, you can feel a little bit of the detached temperament of the little jasper......

Mrs. Mu's heart moved, and without a trace, she picked up the courgette with a silver chopstick and put it in her mouth.

The click of the tongue and the courgette clearly floated through the room.

Mama Hu's eyes widened as if she didn't believe it, and she secretly glanced at it a few times, but she saw that Old Lady Mu looked calm and didn't show any anger.

What does this mean?

Mama Hu and the maids secretly guessed in their hearts.

Pink and green breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Mu Yan's face was as calm as water, and he respectfully served Mrs. Mu with breakfast, rinsed his mouth, and handed over a cup of Mengding nectar tea that had just been brewed.

Mrs. Mu took it with one hand, lifted the lid of the tea and gently brushed the foam, without even lifting her eyelids, and said lightly after half a sound: "You came here so early, have you had breakfast?" ”

Although the Mu family has strict family rules, they are not strict in terms of food, and they eat in each room. At the beginning of each month, the money is in the hands of the wives of each room, and they are the ones who decide what to eat every day, and if they want to eat anything else, they must go to the wives to show it, otherwise they will have to pay out of their own pockets.

The monthly silver of the girls in the house is three taels per person, and Mu Yan only has one tael per month, while in the Mu Mansion, the monthly silver of the decent big maid is one or two or five hundred yuan, which is five hundred yuan more than Mu Yan......

With such treatment, it is no wonder that Qin's mother and others practice it.

Mu Yan pinched his fingers, lowered his eyebrows and replied, "I have used it." ”

Mrs. Mu took a sip of hot tea gently, said "um" from her nose, put down the teacup, and then raised her eyes to look at her, and said, "Look at your complexion is much better, your body is good, and I am relieved." ”

Mu Yan was about to answer, but saw that Mrs. Mu was looking at her fixedly, and said slowly: "The father of the **** a few times ago came here again." ”

Mu Yan's heart seemed to be pricked by the tip of a needle, it was hatred, sadness, and unwillingness.

She could have lived a different life, but from the moment she was born, her life was ruined by her greedy father.

For fifty taels of silver, they did not hesitate to send her to the Mu Mansion......

In the decades that followed, it was even more ruthlessly pressed.

She had to send half of her money home to support them for one or two months a month, but they never asked her if she was doing well, whether she was fed, whether she was warmly dressed, whether she was bullied......

Sometimes she can't tell whether this is a family relationship that blood is thicker than water.

Mu Yan's hands in his sleeves were squeezed together, and he pretended to be surprised without a trace on his face, and asked with a wink, "What is he doing here?" ”

Old Madam Mu flicked her fingertips over her cuffs and snorted softly, "What can you do?" Isn't this the autumn harvest, he ran to say that the harvest was not good......"

The old lady stopped as soon as she clicked, coughed dryly twice, and raised her arms to send the people in the house out.

Mu Yan's heart was like a knife, and it was just a matter of being trampled by the Mu family, and she was cut by her own relatives like this, and her dignity was trampled on the ground.

"Hey...... Speaking of which, your father does ......," Mrs. Mu shook her head, "Back then, we brought you to the Mu family, and the fifty taels of silver that we said would have nothing to do with each other from now on, but you have also seen that our Mu family has not treated him badly over the years, as long as he comes and speaks, we will help him more or less." ”

Mu Yan's fingertips pinched into his palm.

“…… Speaking of which, this is also to take care of your face, after all, bringing you to our Mu family, there are indeed Yang'er and Qing'er, and there is ...... Your marriage contract with Yang'er ......"

The old lady took a sip of hot tea while speaking, the tea mist lingered, Mu Yan couldn't see the old lady Mu's eyes clearly, but she knew that she must be a towering and invincible look.

However, she was speechless, this is the shame brought by her family, how can she wash it away?

There is only silence.

Mu Yan was silent.

Old Madam Mu glanced at her and sighed, "Don't worry, I have ordered someone to send your father five taels of silver last night." ”

Five taels of silver, if you save flowers, it is enough for ordinary people to spend more than half a year.

However, Mu Yan knew that her father was not willing to be "ordinary" at all, and with five taels of silver in his hand, he might be happy in a few days......

When there is no silver, he will find all kinds of reasons to come to Mu Mansion to ask for money.

The Mu family will always have a face of charity, and she will always live under this kind of charity, and she will never see the light of day.

Mu Yan pinched his palm fiercely, still silent and did not speak.

I don't want to say it, and I can't say it.

Even a single word will crush the hope and confidence that she has finally relived.

Mrs. Mu didn't want to say too much, so she finally changed her words and said, "That's it, I'll arrange for you to go home when you're free to see your parents, but for now, you want to stay with me every day to copy the scriptures, are you willing?" ”
