Chapter 42: The Marriage Gift
At the end of August, the Queen Mother issued a decree and set the family affairs of Mu Yao, the second mother of the Mu family, and the eighth prince Huang Fuchen, and the wedding date was set on the eighth day of the lunar month.
The Queen Mother said that this day was excellent.
Muguo Mansion took the lead in sending congratulatory gifts, and the two families were originally in-laws, but now, they are even more intimate.
Xia Wanbing, the eldest daughter of Mu Guogongfu, is the much-loved princess today, since the crown prince Fushuo got married, except for the original two side concubines, there are no new people around her, and she is also very fond of Xia Wanbing, which makes Guogong Mansion very proud.
Now Mu Erniang has been pointed out to the Eighth Prince again, and she has become a concubine with the crown princess.
The relationship between the two families suddenly became delicate again.
Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that right now, the crown prince and the eighth prince are also secretly shouting!
Mu Changyuan was born as a military general, and now he has an official position in charge of the Beijing Janissary, so most of his friends are high-powered military attachΓ©s.
For a while, the sound of horses' hooves in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion was endless, and the people who came to congratulate almost stepped on the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Shen Qingli was not idle, and every day he had to dress up and follow the Su family to receive the ladies who came to congratulate him.
Sanniang Mulin was also exempted from grounding because of this matter, so she was able to enter and leave the mansion.
Out of politeness, the ladies who came and went also offered to meet the ladies of the house.
Maybe it can lead to another marriage.
But when I generally learned about these ladies to be married in the Hou Mansion, the smiles on the faces of the ladies became even more far-fetched.
The identity of the concubine of the Hou Mansion is undoubtedly the most noble among several ladies, but she is married once, well, they don't have the stomach to accommodate such a hard-nosed daughter-in-law.
The rest of Sanniang doesn't look like a gentle and virtuous lady.
As for the second room, although there is still a concubine Mu Qing, but the official position of the second master is inevitably lower, and the Liu family is not a prominent family, but the daughter of a prefect, although they are all noble daughters of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but their identities are different.
After a thousand turns of thought, the topic of the guests was unified to Erniang Mu Qing, and it was not until Mu Erniang praised that there was nothing else to say, and then they got up and said goodbye.
How could Su Shi not know what these people thought, just entertained with a smile on his face, and sent people away one by one.
When he returned to the house, he told Mu Changyuan his opinion: "In my opinion, none of these people have any plans to marry us, and the master is still looking for Sanniang as soon as possible, but he can't drag it out." β
"This kind of thing depends on fate, and you can't be in a hurry, let's wait until Erniang gets married! Isn't Sanniang one year younger than Erniang! Mu Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the brocade couch, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Because of this incident, I was stunned to delay the trip for two days, and now, I can't delay it anymore, I have to leave tomorrow, and the affairs of the family will be handed over to you." β
"Don't worry, sir." Su got up and brought a cup of tea to Mu Changyuan, and handed a color to the maid pothos who was waiting in the house. β
"What? Haven't left yet? You're looking forward to my return? Mu Changyuan took the teacup and quipped, "Then I won't leave, I'll stay with you at home." β
"Oh, at our age, why does the master still say such things." Su's face was slightly red, but there was a burst of sweetness in his heart.
"Alright, you've been busy all day, so let's rest early! I went to my mother's place to see how she was getting settled. Mu Changyuan patted her hand, got up and walked out.
"Master......" Su suddenly called out to him, and stopped talking.
She knew that he had spent the night in the meditation garden last night, but she didn't know that tonight would ......
"Oh, I'll be back in a moment." Mu Changyuan understood, turned around and smiled at her, "You wait for me." β
On Muyingtang's side, Huangfu spoke to Mu Yao in a serious voice, and sighed: "Grandmother knows these years, you must blame me for being harsh on your aunt, but what happened back then, grandmother was also unwilling, I think as long as you marry Sanniang well, Aunt Mei must have no complaints." β
After Su's miscarriage that year, she was really angry, not only confining the suspected Aunt Mei, but also sending away the two innocent intercourse.
If there are too many women, it will be chaos.
But after thinking about it, I also felt that it shouldn't be Aunt Mei's hand, she just served medicine for the Su family.
It's just that Aunt Mei has a stubborn personality, and for so many years, she hasn't come to her to say a soft word, but she is passive as a mother-in-law.
"What my grandmother said is very true, my aunt thinks like this, not to mention that my father has not snubbed my aunt, and my aunt has not suffered any grievances over the years." Mu Yao smiled lightly, "But my aunt often tells us to be filial to our grandmother, saying that our grandmother is the best grandmother in the world." β
"Your aunt is a kind-hearted person." Huangfu sighed, "She didn't complain about me, an old woman. β
"How so? When such a big thing happened, you also had a hard time. Mu Yao looked at the Huangfu clan and saw that the corners of her eyes were full of smiles, so she changed the topic without a trace, "Grandmother, my aunt has always been skillful, and the female celebrity is good, my granddaughter wants to ask my aunt to help make a wedding dress, you see?" β
"Well, your aunt's embroidery is top-notch in the house." Huangfu nodded, and said, "Besides, she is your biological mother after all, and she should do this, from Ming'er, she doesn't have to be grounded, just let her help you prepare your wedding dress!" β
"Thank you, grandmother." Mu Yao hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Alright, alright." Huangfu hurriedly supported her and said with a smile, "Then this child, why is he so polite to his grandmother?" β
"Who's polite to my mother." Mu Changyuan broke in one step, brought in a gust of cold wind, and looked at the grandfather and grandson with a smile.
"Father is here." Mu Yao stepped forward to take the coat that Mu Changyuan had taken off, hung it on the hanger, and took Huangfu's hand again, and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, then catch Ming'er, let my aunt and granddaughter go to Ruyi Building to see the ingredients." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mu Changyuan.
Mu Changyuan raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled.
"You ghost, grandmother will tell your father, you can go back with confidence." Huangfu nodded her nose and said angrily, "Isn't grandmother the kind of person who doesn't talk well?" β
"The granddaughter is leaving." Mu Yao Yingying withdrew.
Huangfu mentioned the matter of Aunt Mei to Mu Changyuan, and said: "Regardless of whether the things of the year were done by the Mei family, so many years have passed, no one should mention it, right now, the marriage of the second mother is the first priority, the daughter is going to get married, or the mother can be relied on." β
"Mother's words are very true." Mu Changyuan's sword eyebrows frowned slightly.
Why does my mother still not trust Su?
