060: Elicit Joy
Chen had just insisted that it was Mu Huanyan's ghost, but now he suddenly changed his mind and refused to investigate the matter thoroughly, Mu Huanyan guessed that it must have been Mu Jinhua who told her the truth of the matter. She was originally grounded, but now she can walk around outside, and she knows that she has Mu Yaotian's permission. The Chen family still has a certain status in his father's heart, and these little things are not the time to bring her down, Mu Huanyan thought about it, and said with a smile: "It's still Jinge who is sensible, let's just sprinkle some realgar to prevent these snakes from crawling into the room again, and everyone should also pay attention to safety." β
Mu Yaotian weighed it and said, "Since Jin Ge is fine, forget about it." β
"Father, mother, I will retire first, and I will go to say hello to my grandmother." Mu Huanyan saluted the two of them and slowly exited the room.
Mu Jinge looked at Mu Huanyan as if nothing had happened, as if last night's snake didn't scare her at all, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Master, the concubine will also go to the Ci'an Palace."
"I'll go with you." The ban was given by the old lady, and now that Mu Yaotian has lifted her ban, she also needs to report to the old lady.
"Grandmother, I greet you."
"Hurry up."
The old lady beckoned Mu Huanyan to sit down, and after she sat down, she said: "Grandmother, something strange happened last night, there were snakes in my room, Jin Ge and Jin Hua's rooms, Jin Ge and I were not injured, Jin Ge was bitten by a snake." β
"Huh? How so? The old lady said suspiciously.
"I don't know, maybe it's because of the weather, but fortunately, those snakes are not venomous, and Jin Ge is safe now. I'll do my best to have people sprinkle some realgar all over the house, just in case. β
Mu Yaotian and the Chen family also came over at this time.
Chen walked up to the old lady with a smile, gave a salute, and called his mother.
The old lady looked at her with a pale face, "Why did you come out?" β
Mu Yaotian immediately rushed in front of the Chen family and said: "Mother, there have been a lot of family affairs in the past two days, everything is up to you, and my son is also worried that you are tired, and she has been confined for a while." Those who should repent have repented. Just let her take over the affairs of the house, and you can make it easier. β
"Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, and she will never leave her relatives to spend the night in the house in the future."
"It's good to come out. Such a big family just relies on happy faces. She's also having some hard work. Recently, Huanyan has taken care of the house quite well, so she will follow you to manage things, and practice hard. After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Mu Huanyan again. Ask for her opinion, "Yan girl, what do you think?" β
"I will follow my grandmother's arrangement." Mu Huanyan nodded slightly.
Half of the power was divided, and Chen was very dissatisfied, the old lady's words were there, and she had just come out, and it would only be of no benefit to herself to argue. Thinking of this, Chen smiled and said, "Huan Yan has really grown up, and he can share the family affairs for us, I am very relieved." β
The old lady smiled and said: "I am also very satisfied with this granddaughter, she is still young, you are a mother, mention her more, it is about to be timely, it is good to learn these things as soon as possible, so as not to be looked down upon by the in-laws." β
"Grandmother, are you kidding me again?" Mu Huanyan pretended to be shy and lowered her head.
"Jin Ge is more than a year younger than Huan Yan, and she has already been married, seeing that Huan Yan is about to get married, should we also consider her family affairs?" Chen Shi mentioned a Jianyì, she can't control Mu Huanyan now, so she just marries her off as soon as possible, so as not to stay in the mansion and get in the way.
"Mother, you're also joking with me, I don't want to get married so early, and I want to stay in the house to be more filial to you, my father and my grandmother."
"Yes, I also want Huan Yan to stay longer, as for her family affairs, let's not worry about it, fate will naturally come." The old lady looked at Mu Huanyan with satisfaction, she couldn't let her get married, didn't the prince show his heart once or twice, the old lady still planned to keep her as the crown princess.
"Master, there is one thing that the concubine almost forgot about jì, our family is also a big pilgrim of the Thousand Buddha Temple, and it is time to donate sesame oil money these days, in previous years, the concubine body will take her family to eat fasting and chant Buddha for three days, chanting and praying for our family." Chen suddenly talked about this, and the old lady also remembered it, and she really almost forgot about this important matter.
"The matter of respecting the Buddha cannot be delayed, I insist on it every day, and I can't miss it this year, otherwise it will seem insincere, I won't go this year, you go with the female relatives of the family. Yaotian, you just happened to be at home on vacation, why don't you go to Buddhism to clean up together. β
"Isn't that my mother left at home alone?" Mu Yaotian was a little worried.
"It's okay, aren't there still two and three rooms?"
Mu Huanyan quickly stood up, walked to the old lady's side and said, "Grandmother, I'll stay at home with you." β
The old lady held her hand and patted her gently, "Yan girl, you haven't been there once, don't be left behind this time, go with your mother." β
Mu Yaotian said: "Huan Yan, you better go, they are all female dependents, and it is inconvenient for me to go, so I will stay in the house and wait for your grandmother, Yongtang, and the children will be handed over to you." β
"I'll go and arrange the itinerary immediately, by the way, mother, Jinhua delayed a little time at Jin Ge's place this morning, and rushed to the school, I didn't have time to say goodbye to you, let me say it for him, that kid has been thinking about you."
"I know, he is willing to study hard, and I am happy in my heart."
The family chatted with the old lady for a while before they dispersed, and the day of the trip was set for the next morning, and Mu Huanyan returned to Lanxingju and arranged for Siya to sort out her outfits.
Luo Zhen naturally wanted to accompany her, and at night, Mu Huanyan called out Chen Xue again and told her about it, and Chen Xue said that she would follow her in the dark.
Go to the Thousand Buddha Temple, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and no one can control her if the Chen family wants to do anything, Mu Huanyan will definitely not give her any chance.
The weather is getting hotter, because she has to travel, Mu Huanyan got up early in the morning and specially wore a light green dress, Luo Zhen and Siya took her things and walked to the door of the house together.
The Wang family also heard in the steward's room that this morning, the ladies in the big room were going to the Thousand Buddha Temple to offer incense, and they were waiting at the door of the house early.
"Miss." Seeing Mu Huanyan, Wang hurriedly greeted him.
"Nurse, you came to see me off?" Mu Huan said with a smile.
"I really don't want to stay in the steward's room, I can't see you, I'm panicking......" Wang's brows were tightly wrinkled, and he looked at Mu Huanyan with a face full of grievances.
"Mother Wang, don't worry, Siya and I will take care of the eldest lady."
"Do you hear that? It's good to have Luo Zhen and Siya by my side, and you can do things in the steward's room with peace of mind. β
The carriage was ready, Chen and Mu Jinge, Aunt Zhou and Yun Xiang, Aunt Zhang and Yun Xian had been standing at the door for a while, and sent a maid to urge, Mu Huanyan said goodbye to Wang, Wang reluctantly watched her leave, followed her outside the mansion, and watched the carriage leave, or sighed.
Chen and Mu Jinge, Mu Huanyan, Mu Yunxiang and Mu Yunsheng sat in the first spacious and luxurious carriage, and Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhang were in a small carriage behind.
Mu Yunxiang is ten years old this year, and Mu Yunxiang is only nine years old, the two children have not yet taken off their immaturity, and their pink little faces are very cute.
"Mother, do you think the silk handkerchief I embroidered looks good?" Mu Yunxiang took a silk handkerchief and handed it to Chen, Chen didn't take the silk handkerchief, just glanced at it casually, and said with a smile: "The embroidery is very beautiful." β
Yun Xiang tilted his head and said, "Really? Aunt Zhou said that I didn't embroider well and asked me to work hard, it seems that she is a liar, and my mother said that my embroidery is beautiful. β
"Xiang'er, I think your embroidery is really good, much better than the embroidery I embroidered when I was a child." Mu Jinge also praised it. Hearing this, Mu Huanyan finally understood why Mu Yunchu would rather believe in Chen's mother and daughter than his biological mother. Because they all like to listen to nice words, but they forget that only those who really care about them will tell the truth, and the truth is often hurtful, and they don't want to accept the truth, and over time, they believe those who tell lies.
Looking at Yun Xiang's cute appearance, Mu Huanyan really couldn't bear that she would walk on Mu Yunchu's path in the future, so she smiled and took the silk handkerchief in her hand, looked at it carefully, and said: "Yun Xiang is really good, she is only ten years old and her embroidery skills are so good, and many little girls who are about the same age as you can't compare to you." However, you look here, these stitches are a little stiffer, if you can change it here, this embroidery will be even better, Yun Xiang is smarter than others, if you are willing to work hard, these stitches will definitely embroider more flexibly. β
"Eldest sister, you are so good, when I embroidered, I just felt that these stitches were not embroidered well."
Mu Yunxiang took the silk handkerchief, looked at the stitches carefully, and the hand was gesturing there, Mu Huanyan felt comforted for a while, fortunately, she was still young, and her thoughts were easy to change, if she was older, her arrogant temper would be raised, and it would be difficult to change it.
But looking at Yun Xian again, he was sitting there quietly, and he didn't see her open all the way.
"Our family Yunxiang is really smart, the eldest sister understands it as soon as she teaches it, Yun Xiang, why do you keep your head low and don't speak?" Chen pretended to be gentle and called out for a cloud reward.
Only then did she slowly raise up, her eyes were round, her little face was flushed, but her red mouth was tightly pursed, and she called out to her mother in a low voice.
Chen sighed and said: "This child, when he was young, he was quite lively, and the more he grew up, the quieter he became. β
Mu Huanyan looked at Mu Yunsheng and felt that a little child, why did he look like he was preoccupied? (To be continued......)
