Yiqing Garden.

On the big kang near the window, Su Shi held a letterhead in her hand, a little worried, she sighed, put the letterhead on the desk, and said softly: "The Tong family came to ask about the family matter mentioned last time. ”

"Madam, from the perspective of the slave maid, this family business is too good to be better, but I don't know why the eldest lady has not let go." Mama Xu stood aside with her hands down, and when she saw that Su Shi seemed to be sad, she raised her hand and gently tapped her shoulder, sighing, "Madame is really heartbroken for the sake of the eldest lady." ”

"Alas, the eldest lady is also my daughter after all, how can I not worry about being a mother." Su Shi put away the letterhead, looked out the window, saw that it was getting late, and said, "Let's discuss it when the master comes back!" ”

Mu Yu, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yongding, and Mu Yunting, the son of the world, are compatriots of the same mother, both from the Wu family.

She is one year older than Mu Yunche, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and she is the eldest lady in the mansion.

Mu Yu got married two years ago, married to Lin Feng, the eldest son of Lin Youting, the household servant, but unfortunately Lin Feng died of illness less than half a year after getting married.

Mu Yu became a new widow, and because he did not leave an heir, he was taken back to the house by the Hou Ye Mu Changyuan.

In the past year or so, Mu Yu's marriage has naturally been mentioned again and again, but Mu Yu has not been moved at all, and it seems that he has not yet come out of the previous misfortune.

However, Mu Changyuan and Su Shi were worried.

Some time ago, the Tong family in Jingzhou entrusted the official media to come to the house to propose marriage, but at that time, because Mu Changyuan was out on business and was not in the house, Mu Yu was a hundred unwilling, so the matter dragged on.

Although Jingzhou is far away from the capital and is a little remote, the Tong family is a powerful family, and more importantly, they are willing to be hired as a wife.

Where to find such a good thing?

Su frowned.

The curtain was lifted in a moment, and Mu Changyuan walked in, his face was a little dark, with a beard, and he looked a little like he had gone through vicissitudes.

"The master is back!" Su Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to greet him, took off his coat for him, put it away, and mentioned the letter with a solemn face.

After reading the letterhead, Mu Changyuan frowned and sighed: "This family business is good, but this matter has to be agreed by Yu Niang." ”

As early as when Mu Yu returned home, Mrs. Tai said that Mu Yu could marry whenever she wanted, and no one could make irresponsible remarks.

Su was reluctant to say this at the time, what does it mean to marry whenever you want, can your daughter still be raised at home for a lifetime?

But she couldn't refute her mother-in-law's words, so she had to respond.

"Master, Yu Niang is still a child after all, how can such a big thing be left to her?" Su Shi frowned when he saw Mu Changyuan, his face sank, and he raised his head and said, "Although I am not Yu Niang's biological mother, I also know that Yu Niang doesn't like me, and I shouldn't say anything about this matter, but after all, the master is her biological father, can it be that the master just watched his daughter miss this marriage?" ”

said, and sighed again: "This woman is going to marry sooner or later, always living in her mother's house is not a long-term solution after all, this matter has to be brought forward by the master, if I speak, Yu Niang will definitely think that I can't tolerate her." ”

When Mu Changyuan heard this, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, patted her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Yu Niang is stubborn, it has been difficult for you all these years, I have made up my mind in my heart, I will go back to my mother, and then go to Yu Niang to say, this time I can't let her say anything." ”

As he spoke, he got up and lifted the curtain and walked out.

After Mu Changyuan left, Su's face sank, he threw the letterhead aside, looked at the half-closed window for a while, and thought that Mu Yunting would be back tomorrow, rubbed his eyebrows, and immediately called Mama Xu to come in, and asked her to go to Chunhui Pavilion to call Mu Yunche over, saying that the matter of tomorrow's family banquet should be discussed with him.

Chunhui Pavilion is on the west side of Yiqing Garden, through a bamboo forest.

Xia was not there, and a maid said that she went to the back house to see Mama Yang and Liu Yan.

The back house is where the people in the house go.

Yesterday, Mama Yang and Liu Yan were scolded with a cane and have been bedridden, Xia has already sent two maids to take care of them, but they still can't rest assured, so they will go over to take a look when they have time.

Mama Xu knew that Mu Yunche was resting today, and she should be in the house at this time, so she went straight to the study.

Before he could get closer, he heard a woman's low laughter faintly from the study.

On the couch of the beauty under the window.

Mu Yunche lightly kissed the woman's already reddened ear, and said softly: "I like to listen to your voice, just like your name." ”

"How can a slave and maid get into the eyes of the eldest young master?" The warm breath sprayed on her face, she looked up at him with silky eyes, touched his hot gaze, blushed, her delicate body leaned on his arms, and her hands quietly wrapped around his slender and straight waist.

Looking at the charming and moving woman in his arms, the man turned over and pressed the person on the beauty couch.

The woman under her suddenly let out an exclamation, and said half-pushing, half-on-the-spot coquettishly: "Big young master, don't ......"

"What's not to do?" His slender fingers slowly untied her placket, staring at the ** in the placket, and a playful smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

He has seen a lot of such women, and the so-called reserved struggle is just for show.

……

Mama Xu listened to the unbearable sound inside, her heart sank, and she coughed heavily.

After a while, I saw the little girl named Thrush running out of the study in rags, and when she caught a glimpse of Mama Xu out of the corner of her eye, she turned around and entered the bamboo forest, and copied the path back to Chunhui Pavilion.

Dead little hooves!

Mama Xu scolded in her heart.

In broad daylight, such a blatant ** master, two words: looking for death.

Mu Yunche saw that it was Mama Xu, and he didn't seem to feel embarrassed, so he asked the reason casually, knowing that the Xia family had gone to the back house and hadn't come back, so he straightened up his slightly messy clothes, and followed Mama Xu to Yiqing Garden with easy steps.

On the side of Muyingtang, Huangfu is holding a pair of scissors, and is carefully pruning a pearl plum with lush branches and leaves, it is August, this flower is blooming just right, and the white petals are like snowflakes covering the branches and leaves, which is very pleasing to the eye.

"Mother, Yu Niang's kiss can't be delayed." Mu Changyuan stood respectfully behind the Huangfu clan, still holding the letterhead in his hand.

"Did she say yes herself?" As he spoke, the Huangfu clan quietly threw the cut excess branches and leaves onto the flower stand.

Immediately, a little maid stepped forward to clean up the branches and leaves.

"Mother, although Yu Niang is stubborn by nature, she listens to you the most, as long as you open your mouth, she will definitely agree." Mu Changyuan followed the Huangfu clan step by step, took the stump she had cut off, and handed it to the little maid standing on the side.

"So, she didn't agree?" The Huangfu clan took care of himself and cut those branches and leaves.

"Mother, the family affairs of the juniors should follow the orders of their parents, how can the words of the matchmaker be left to her?" Mu Changyuan frowned.

"Su Shi asked you to say this, right?" Huangfu suddenly turned his head and asked, and a trace of coldness instantly appeared in his eyes.

"Mother, this, this is what the son means." Mu Changyuan said embarrassedly.

Although the Su family was corrected, he didn't know why, but he couldn't get into the eyes of the Huangfu family.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been so cold and indifferent, getting along politely, as for what the problem is, he really can't guess it.

"You sue her, Yu Niang's marriage doesn't have to worry about her." As he spoke, he threw the scissors aside, clapped his hands, looked at Mu Changyuan again, and said lukewarmly, "Besides, what is the son of the Jingzhou Tong family, we don't know, and we can't wait to respond as soon as we hear that he is from a good family and hired as a wife, can't you marry this daughter?" ”

"Mother, these sons have already heard that the son of the Tong family is knowledgeable, gentle and elegant, and is indeed a person who can be entrusted for life." Mu Changyuan looked at the Huangfu clan cautiously.

"These words, you go and say them to Yu Niang! As long as she wants to, I naturally have nothing to say. Huangfu responded lightly, pursing the corners of his mouth and looking away.

Mu Changyuan had no choice but to retreat stupidly.
