150: Cousin Lin Zhang
The Huang family still really didn't know that there was such a thing, Mu Yaotian told her at the beginning, and Mrs. Mu liked her very much.
Seeing that Huang didn't speak, Mrs. Mu continued: "You are an orphan girl, belonging to the four nothings, without a father, without a mother, without a brother or brother, and if you don't talk about this, just say that you were brought back from the war in Yaotian, hired as a wife, and ran as a concubine, you should know this, so, at that time, I didn't agree with you to be the main room, it was Yaotian who forced him to die, so I agreed." β
"Hire as a wife and run as a concubine, what is the reason?" Huang doesn't understand at all, of course, she is a native of Ciguo and a feminist society, how can she know how strict the door style of Shengguo's patriarchal society should be.
Old Madam Mu listened to her doubts, frowned, and said, "You won't be joking with me, will you?" Who in Shengguo doesn't know this rule. β
"I was fatherless and motherless since I was a child, and no one taught me this, which made my mother laugh." Huang found a reason to go over.
Back then, when she married Mu Yaotian, she was an orphan girl, but Mu Yaotian had to marry her, and the old lady didn't inquire about her life experience, and the orphan girl couldn't inquire about anything, so it was over.
"Forget it, it's not interesting to mention the past, now that you're back, I don't want Yaotian to have any regrets, although now you can't pretend to be the main room, he married a stepfamily, I hope you don't take it to heart, get along well in the future, I'm old, I can feel comfortable when I see you doing well."
"I know."
"No need to send it. That's it, you go back and take care of Huanyan. β
After Mrs. Mu left, the Huang family still pondered for a long time, what kind of thoughts should she have about Mu Yaotian now, at that time, she loved him, so she would come to Shengguo with him regardless of it. When she came back to life, she came back to him, but he married another woman. She is also a proud woman. How can you accept this? Besides, it is impossible for this to happen in Ciguo, and I couldn't swallow this breath at that time, and I didn't want to compromise and seek perfection, so it would be fourteen years to leave. It's also this kind of gas. separated her from Huanyan's mother and daughter for fourteen years. Thinking of Mu Yaotian, Huang's heart was in a mess.
Moreover, these fourteen years. Huan Yan has suffered so much, and there is still hatred in the heart of Mu Yaotian and the Huang family.
"Mother." Mu Huanyan called, and she saw that the Huang family had not come back for a long time, so she came out to look for her.
Huang immediately came back to his senses from his thoughts, walked towards Mu Huanyan, and said gently: "Why did you run out, you have a wound on your foot, you should lie on the bed well." β
"I see that you haven't come back for so long, and I'm worried, by the way, what did my grandmother tell you?" Mu Huanyan was afraid that the old lady would embarrass the Huang family.
"She didn't say anything, she just asked me to walk with her." For adults, there is no need for the Huang family to sue sΓΉ Mu Huanyan.
"Don't hide anything from me."
"It's really okay, I am also a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with the old lady, she used to be very good to me, and now she will not embarrass me, you can rest assured."
Hearing what Huang said, Mu Huanyan let go of her worries and took Huang's hand back to her room.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, Huan Yan was a little tired, so she took a nap, and in her sleep, she heard a messy sound, she had always slept very lightly, and woke up.
Walking to the outer hall, there was a beautiful woman in the hall who was talking to the Huang family, and Huan Yan was not impressed at all.
"Is this a happy face?" The middle-aged beauty looked at Mu Huanyan with a smile on her face.
"You are?"
Huang waved at her and said, "Huan Yan, hurry up and come over to see your aunt." β
Mu Huanyan bowed in a proper manner and called her aunt. Her aunt is Mu Yaotian's sister Mu Yaoning, married to Lin Xiaoyong, the prefect of Xiangzhou Mansion, but in the last life, Huan Yan has never seen her, but she knows that she has a son named Lin Zhang.
Lin Zhang was a jinshi in the tenth year of Tianyuan, and later entered the Hanlin Academy, but he was always depressed, but he was favored by Ling Mo and pulled into his command. The reason why Mu Huanyan remembered Lin Zhang was because Lin Zhang eventually became a cool official by Ling Mo's side, captured Ling Mo's brutal psychology, and was Ling Mo's favorite minister.
Although Lin Zhang is Mu Huanyan's cousin, his methods are cruel, and Mu Huanyan rarely has contact with him on weekdays.
Today is the first time she has met her aunt Lin Mushi, Lin Mushi is wearing a dark purple satin winter coat, thin powder, her body shape looks a little chubby because she has given birth to a child, and her appearance is still a little similar to Mu Yaotian, which seems to be so resolute.
"Quick, come to me and let me see, they've grown so big." Lin Mushi seems to be very enthusiastic, she is also a smart person, she has long heard of Mu Huanyan's deeds, and now the old lady also loves her very much, at a young age, she can be in charge of the house, at this time, she will not get closer, let alone when, and even regret it a little, when Huanyan was locked up in the South Courtyard before, she did not send charcoal in the snow.
Lin Mu's enthusiasm made Mu Huanyan a little uncomfortable, but he still reluctantly squeezed a smile out, and said kindly: "Auntie, welcome you home, I should have visited you, but I asked you to run first." β
"This child is really sensible, as soon as I go home, the people in the family mention you, all of them are praised, this meeting, it is really everyone's beautiful demeanor, I heard that you have been in time for a long time, I didn't have time to add makeup to you, this gift is a meeting gift, don't dislike it."
Lin Mushi took out a delicate wooden box, which contained a set of gold heads and some jewelry.
"Auntie, as soon as you came, you broke the bank, and gave me such a heavy gift, how could I dislike it?"
"A meeting gift for your niece, where can it be called a broken fee, you just like it. It was supposed to be back yesterday, but the road was too slippery, the itinerary was slower, and it only arrived today, it just so happened that your cousin was going to take the autumn exam this year, and I came back this time with him, and I accompanied him to study in Beijing during this time, I heard about your deeds, and I have to give your cousin a good guide in the future. β
"Cousin? Lin Zhang? Mu Huanyan tried to ask.
"It's all my fault, he was still young when he came back before, and he hasn't brought him back in the past few years, you don't know each other, I got married two years earlier than your father, so my son is older than you, of course it's your cousin, he's your grandmother now, anyway, we have to eat dinner together, let's go to Ci'an Hall now." Lin Mushi explained to Mu Huanyan, because when Mu Huanyan lived in the South Courtyard, where could he know about the front yard.
On the way, Lin Mushi also told her cousin Lin Zhang, who is sixteen years old this year, and has already won the lift. Lin Mushi also has a daughter, who is twelve years old this year and lives in his hometown in Xiangzhou.
mentioned that her son has now been promoted, Lin Mushi's face is quite proud, which mother doesn't want her son to become a Chan, of course Lin Mushi is the same.
Lin Zhang was Ling Mo's favorite minister, and later the Lin family also rose, if Lin Mu's family knew this, he would probably be even more proud now.
In this life, I'm afraid there is no such opportunity, and Mu Huanyan will not let Ling Mo ascend to the throne again no matter what.
With the memories of his previous life, Mu Huanyan didn't want to have too much contact with Lin Zhang, that kind of ruthless person, he could still avoid it, and when he met for a while, he didn't talk to him anymore.
When he arrived at Ci'an Palace, Mu Huanyan saw Lin Zhang at a glance, he was wearing an off-white scholar's suit, he was tall and thin, and he was wearing a dark crown on his curled black hair, and he was beating the old lady's back, with a gentle smile. This is not like his previous life at all, at that time, every time Mu Huanyan saw him, he had a straight face, and his face was ruthless, and now he looks like a scholar, and he didn't think that he would become a cool official in the future.
In his previous life, Mu Huanyan didn't have the opportunity to meet Lin Zhang before the scientific expedition, and he didn't know what he looked like now, so it can be seen that for the sake of power, any kind of person may change.
Lin Zhang stood behind Old Madam Mu, saw Mu Huanyan, and said, "Are you a cousin, Jinge?" Didn't you say that the eighteenth change of the female college? Why do you grow more and more backwards, I remember when you were a child, you were so pretty. β
"Zhang'er, how do you speak." Lin Mushi reprimanded him and said, "She is your eldest cousin Mu Huanyan, not Jinge, you recognized the wrong person." β
"It turned out to be the eldest cousin, is it the eldest cousin who sealed the county lord of Heyue?" Lin Zhang let go of the old lady's shoulder, walked up to Mu Huanyan, and looked her up and down.
Mu Huanyan thought to herself, how can this person not be shy at all, they are just cousins, how can they see people like this.
Lin Mushi noticed something unusual, pulled Lin Zhang, and said, "Do you see people like this?" It's really not sensible at all. β
"Mother, isn't this the first time I've seen my eldest cousin?"
Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "Ning'er, they are all their own brothers and sisters, and the enthusiasm is not in the way, so don't be so strict." β
"Mother, you just love Zhang'er too much."
"Cousin, when we met for the first time, Huanyan was so polite." Mu Huanyan politely gave him a greeting gift, and then sat quietly in his place, not wanting to have any contact with Lin Zhang.
How did Lin Zhang chase after him again and said: "You are so gentle, you don't look like a strange woman who can stand on the court and fight the envoys of Xiangguo, nor do you look like a person who can think of a good way to relieve the disaster." β
Mu Huanyan said unhurriedly: "My cousin is a scholar, you should know what it means to be unattractive, the sea water is not to be measured, and you can't judge a person by your eyes alone." β
Lin Mushi smiled at the Huang family and said, "I didn't expect the two of them to talk about it." β
"It's all a family, blood is thicker than water, although we haven't met, but it's not unfamiliar, and you can get acquainted with it after a few words."
"Auntie, cousin, you're here."
At this time, Mu Jinge and the Chen family also came over, Lin Zhang glanced up at Mu Jinge, shouted to the Chen family, and continued to talk to Mu Huanyan. (To be continued......)
