In Aunt Shi's courtyard, Mu Yelai and Mu Hou's second son entered the upper room of Aunt Shi's courtyard.

"Auntie, you must save me!" As soon as the second son of Muhou entered, he knelt down for Aunt Shi, pulled Aunt Shi's skirt, and begged bitterly.

"What's going on? Get up! Get up! Aunt Shi was startled, and hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of the second son's coat to make him stand up.

"Auntie, you must promise to help me, you promise me to get up, otherwise I will kneel here for the rest of my life!" The second son is playing tricks on the ground.

Aunt Shi loves this son very much, and when she saw him like this, she was so distressed that she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, my aunt promised you, promised you, okay?" Why don't you hurry up?! ”

The second son of Muhou was secretly happy in his heart, so he stood up, brought tea and water to Aunt Shi, knocked her back and beat her legs, and served her very wholeheartedly.

Aunt Shi saw that her son was so attentive, but she muttered, and asked quietly, "What is the matter?" ”

The second son of Muhou said with a smile: "Auntie, this matter is difficult for others, but the son knows that it is not difficult for ...... aunt at all."

Mu Yelai was drinking the throat soup that had just been served next to him, intending to reduce the importance of this matter, and said lightly: "The second brother fought cocks with people in Piaoxiang Courtyard and owed people a little silver. Auntie, you can help the second brother and come out for him. You also know that my father was originally moved by what I said, but at the end of the day, there was such a thing, and we can't give up all our efforts. ”

Aunt Shi has been flattered very recently, and she has a temper and temperament, plus she has money in her pocket. I didn't panic in my heart, I didn't care at all, I smiled and nodded the forehead of the second son, and said, "I know that Lu Dao is naughty." is so big, not to mention going to find a daughter-in-law, you will know that Lu Dao is entangled with people. ”

The second son moved the brocade and sat next to Aunt Shi, and said aggrievedly: "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law, it's just that I can't find a good daughter-in-law now." Come to think of it, I'm a concubine. He is not the firstborn. Not to mention the son of the world, which daughter of the gate lord of the Shi clan is willing to marry someone like me? ”

"Hey, the ambition is not small. I actually want to marry the daughter of the gate lord of the Shi clan. Aunt Shi smiled and shook her head. No, no. Don't fight this idea. In my opinion, you can just find the daughter of the noble family, and you can also help your sister. He said. glanced at Mu Yelai meaningfully.

Mu Yelai pursed his lips and smiled. In order to find a daughter-in-law for her second brother, she also took great pains.

Aunt Shi took a fancy to a candidate, that is, Xiao Yanran, the sister-in-law of Xiao Shiji, the Marquis of Zhuguo. This girl is a concubine, but she is not from the Shi clan, she is just from the Hanmen Shu clan, but she has an amazing eldest brother, plus the Xiao family is too rich, their Mu family, although they are also a big family, the worst thing is silver. If you marry Xiao Yanran as your wife, the dowry will definitely be indispensable.

It's just that Mu Yelai was a little reluctant at the beginning. Because she is going to marry Xiao Shiji, if Xiao Shiji's sister also marries into their Muhou Mansion, it will be a change of relatives and will be looked down upon.

However, Aunt Shi didn't think so, she quietly persuaded Mu Yelai many times, saying that Mu Yelai was to be a concubine for Xiao Shihe, not to marry, so Mu Houfu and the Xiao family are not in-laws, and there is no kinship. Only when Xiao Yanran marries into the Muhou Mansion can they truly become in-laws, and they can rely on the Zhuguo Marquis Mansion for the rest of their lives......

This persuasion and persuasion made Mu Ye a little tempted.

After all, she knew that Xiao Yanran was old, and she was not particularly beautiful, and she was still from a poor family, except for having a very powerful brother, as well as the power and silver of the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion, she had no advantage.

Although his second brother is a concubine, he is a descendant of the Anxi royal family. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Muhou Mansion is forced again, the door is there, and Xiao Yanran is married, which is definitely Gao Pan.

As long as she speaks, Brother Xiao will definitely agree. Besides, she knew that in the last life, Xiao Yanran didn't marry well, and she stayed up for a long time, and she didn't rely on her son to enjoy happiness until her man died. In this life, she made her own decision to let her marry her second brother, which is much better than marrying into a small family in her previous life.

So Mu Yelai was also thinking about it, after Xiao Shihe returned to Chang'an, she would go around more, mention his sister's family affairs to Xiao Shihe, and give it by the way. And his second brother has Zhu Guohou's sister-in-law as the original match, which is very beneficial to his father, and it is also of great help to his second brother to fight for the position of Muhou's son.

There is also an advantage, that is, Xiao Yanran's marriage has not been finalized for a long time, and it is also Du Hengshuang's dereliction of duty as a sister-in-law.

Gu Yun's eldest brother is like a father, and his eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.

Du Hengshuang, the eldest sister-in-law, didn't care about Xiao Shiji's younger siblings at all, and she really failed very much......

Therefore, she and Aunt Shi have been thinking about this matter.

At this time, hearing that Aunt Shi was mentioning this matter again, Mu Yelai smiled and said: "Brother Xiao has only returned to the city today, I have to let him rest for a while, I will go to see him tomorrow, and I will mention it to him." ”

Aunt Shi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the second son of Muhou, "Say, how much silver do you owe?" ”

The second son of Muhou smiled: "It's not much, just 100,000 taels." ”

Burst!

Aunt Shi was also drinking throat soup, and when she heard this, a mouthful of soup squirted out of her mouth, and some of the soup choked into her trachea, and she coughed loudly while holding her chest.

Mu Yelai hurriedly called the maid to step forward, helped Aunt Shi beat her chest and back, and gave the second brother a look.

The second son of Mu Hou understood, hurriedly pointed out something, and quietly slipped away from Aunt Shi's upper room.

A few maids were busy before they cleaned up Aunt Shi.

Aunt Shi gasped and asked them all to go down, then grabbed Mu Yelai's wrist and gritted her teeth, "...... 100,000 taels...... You can tell! How could he owe so much silver?! ”

Mu Yelai said with a smile: "Auntie, don't panic. At this time, we also have a lot of silver in our hands. In this way, my aunt will pay 50,000 taels, and I will pay 50,000 taels myself, and fill the hole in the second brother. ”

In Aunt Shi's life, except for her son, the closest thing is silver.

But when she took out 50,000 taels of silver at once, she was so distressed that her intestines were about to break. Very reluctantly, he said: "...... Have you asked Master Hou? "It means that I want Mu Hou to give this money.

Mu Yelai sighed and persuaded in a low voice: "Auntie, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." The second brother didn't notice for a while, and he fell into someone else's way, so let's not let him make things worse. If you let your father give this money, the second brother will not want to be a son of the world in his life. Mother, compared with the position of 100,000 silver and the prince, it is clear which is more important and which is lighter, right? - Besides, the hundred thousand taels of silver. It's not like we can't get it. ”

Aunt Shi frowned and thought for a long time. He said in a hurry: "In that case, why don't you come out?" "As she spoke, she looked at Mu Yelai with hope," the aunt said. The money you hold. Much more than my aunt. Again. The Marquis of Zhu loves you so much, what is the use of you saving so much silver? What he has is silver, and it is not how much you will ask for in the future. How much for you? "It's still a dime.

Mu Yelai was very embarrassed, twisted his fingers and said, "Mother, I have kept an account of all the silver, and I want to hand it over to Brother Xiao." ”

"What?!" Aunt Shi became angry all of a sudden, stood up suddenly, and desperately pointed her finger at Mu Yelai's forehead and said, "You dead girl, you just want to be angry with your aunt, aren't you?!" That's your money, what do you have to give upside down to a man? If you don't want it, give it to me, or give it to your second brother, or even give it to your father, it's better than sticking a man upside down! - You remember, you can only pick money from men, and you can't give money to men when you are finished. As soon as you give, you lose in your life. Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, as the old saying has been said for so many years, it is not unreasonable. ”

Mu Yelai silently lowered his head and said, "But that's the silver that was given to Brother Xiao's Jingzhou Thorn History Mansion." ”

"yes. You've already found so many people for him to be officials, and he should still pour you money. - I said, you can put away the money and make it your own private house, or you can take it out to pay off your second brother's gambling debts. I only have 100,000 silver here, and 50,000 of them were given to you by the Marquis of Zhu last time. Come at night, you don't want your aunt to be old and have no money to defend herself, right? Aunt Shi slapped the table and made a decision, "Hasn't that Zhu Guohou already returned to Chang'an?" According to me, go to him and try it. Maybe he will give you another 100,000 silver to help your second brother pay off his gambling debts. Even if he doesn't plan to give so much this time, just give you thirty or fifty thousand silver, and we can give a little less. ”

Mu Yelai had 150,000 taels of silver in his hand, all of which were obtained from selling his official position. She originally thought that she would take it out and offer it to Xiao Shihe, so that he could see what the main room could do, and she could do it better.

But listening to my aunt say this, it seems to make sense.

Didn't Du Hengshuang stick Brother Xiao upside down, what is the end now?

Sure enough, men only remember the women they spent their money on, not the women who spent money for them......

"Mother, you have a point. It's better to go to the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion now to see if Brother Xiao has come back. If he comes back, I'll tell him and see if he can't help us. Mu Yelai also agreed with Aunt Shi's words, and immediately went back to his yard to dress up.

While freshening up, she instructed her maid Yingzhi: "Go out of the outer courtyard to inquire and see when the banquet in the palace will end." - If it doesn't end when it's dark, I won't be able to go today. ”

Yingzhi answered, and hurriedly went to the outer courtyard to inquire.

After a while, he came back with a strange expression, and whispered in Mu Yelai's ear: "Third Miss, the Marquis of Zhu Guo is a little bad." ”

Mu Yelai's heart sank, and he scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? What is called the Marquis of Zhu Guo? ”

Yingzhi hurriedly said: "Third Miss, don't be angry! The slave maid went to the outer courtyard to inquire about the outside affairs from the steward just now, and I heard them say that today His Majesty is a great hero in the palace, and the Marquis of Zhu has not received any reward alone! ”

"What?!" Mu Yelai grabbed Yingzhi's wrist and said sharply, "Who did you listen to?" Take me to him now! ”

Yingzhi was frightened by Mu Yelai's suddenly sinking face, and hurriedly said, "It's the steward in the outer courtyard who is responsible for going out with the masters." They also listened to the subordinates of other houses. ”

His Majesty feasted the ministers, but Mu Hou was not invited, so he didn't go, he just sulked at home, and he didn't know what His Majesty was doing to alienate him.

Mu Yelai casually put a hairpin on his head, and then took Yingzhi to Mu Hou's study in the outer courtyard and asked, "Dad, I heard that Brother Xiao didn't get a reward?" Is this true?! ”

Mu Hou had just heard about this and was secretly wondering what was going on in the study.

At this time, when he saw Mu Ye coming, he nodded and said, "I just heard about it." The feast in the palace had just ended, and the news reached us. ”

"How is this possible?!" Mu Yelai refused to believe such a thing, it was completely different from the previous life!

She has always believed that in this life, even if many things have changed, there are two things that will not change, one is Brother Xiao's feelings for her, and the other is Brother Xiao's career. - With her help in this life, he will only go better, not worse...... She refused to think about the possibility of getting worse.

"What's impossible?" Mu Hou paced in the study with his hands behind his back, "The prince doesn't speak for him, what can he do?" He can't ask His Majesty for a reward himself, can he? ”

"But...... But...... His credit is obviously the greatest! Mu Yelai's eyes widened. In the previous life, Xiao Shi and the twelve days pacified the south of the Yangtze River, and after returning to Chang'an, although he did not further increase the number of officials and knights, His Majesty rewarded him with countless gold and silver treasures, as well as a lot of land and fiefdoms, and there was absolutely nothing like this in this life......

"Perhaps, His Majesty has already rewarded him." Mu Hou thought about it, and only thought of this conclusion, "You think, I have earlier sealed one of his eight major thorn histories, the inspection school Jingzhou Thorn History, this position is already worthy of a prince." And he is also a hereditary official with real power, which is much more beneficial than a fictitious prince. "It was too high before, and it is reasonable to seal it less now.

Mu Yelai felt that it was very reasonable, and nodded again and again: "Then I have to go to the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion to comfort and comfort Brother Xiao, so that he will not be discouraged and not sad." ”

Mu Hou felt funny, so he said, "Then I'll send a car to send you and get my post." ”

Mu Ye came to respond, went out of Lu to make a big car driven by Mu Hou, and hurriedly went to the Marquis Mansion of Zhuguo to hand over Mu Hou's post, saying that he wanted to see the Hou Ye.

Seeing that it was Miss Mu San who came, the door didn't dare to be self-conscious, so he was busy ordering people to spread the word one by one, from the outer courtyard to the second gate, and from the second gate to the courtyard gate of Xiao Shihe and Du Hengshuang's main courtyard, and finally to the gate of the two people's upper room.

Du Hengshuang's upper room in the main courtyard was crowded at this time, all of them were close relatives of the family, who came to welcome Xiao Shi and return home.

Mrs. Yang, Xiao Yanran, Xiao Taiji, Long Shuzhi, as well as Xiao Shiji's three children and Xiao Taiji's children, crowded into the upper room and said goodbye to Xiao Shiji.

Xiao Shiji sat on the top and said a few words to them with a smile, his face full of tiredness.

Xiao Yanran hurriedly said: "Big brother just came back, let big brother rest, our family, don't be polite." Let's take a look at the eldest brother tomorrow. ”
