Chapter 516: Mu Qingqiang Visits
Walking out of the bamboo cultivation courtyard, Zhao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
It seems that she is the only one in the world who has a system.
She was already desperate and no longer compared with Zhao Ruxi.
If a person is two steps ahead of you, you will still want to catch up with her.
But a person is a lot ahead of you, you can only look at it, and you can't catch up no matter how you chase it, so you will naturally stop thinking and stop comparing with her.
But now, she has a golden finger and is a person who is favored by the gods, she is full of confidence, and feels that in time, she will definitely be better than Zhao Ruxi, marry an excellent husband, obtain a more prominent position, and live a more glorious and happier life than in her previous life.
Zhao Jingli and the two often come to the big house now, and this time they came to make a special trip to comfort Zhao Ruxi. Therefore, after coming out of Xiuzhu Courtyard, they did not go to Zhao Yuanxun again, but walked directly to the gate, preparing to go back.
But as soon as they arrived at the gate of Suipingbo's mansion, they saw a luxurious carriage slowly stopping in front of the mansion, and there was a sign on the carriage with a big word "Mu" written on it.
"Hey, the Mu family's carriage." Zhao Jing'an was surprised, "Who in the uncle's family has an intersection with the Mu family?" ”
The Mu family is also a family, although there is no title on the body, but the population is large, there are many capable people in the family, there are several officials who live in the third grade or more, two of them are feudal officials, there are two second-grade officials in the court, and the women of the Mu family are married countless times.
There are many nobles in the capital, and everyone looks at your family background and rarely looks at how high your title is, but how much real power you have in your hands.
The Mu family is a family with real power in their hands. Although their status in the capital is not top-notch, they are also considered to be middle- and upper-class powerful people. The most important thing is that the Mu family, like the Peng family, is a neutral faction that does not stand in line.
It's not easy to stay neutral these days. Many people don't actually want to learn from the dragon's work, the risk is too great, but the harvest is unknown, but they have no choice.
There is a prince who wants to win you over, and if you don't comply, you are likely to be killed, or someone will keep stumbling on you. In the future, if that prince really ascends to the throne, then your family will be completely finished.
Whether the Mu family can stand in line or not, it all depends on the large number of family members, marriages everywhere, and involvement with various factions, and they can maintain balance.
In the face of such a complicated relationship between the Mu family, all the princes have scruples. Even if he had the intention to woo him, he only said it gently, and he gave up if he couldn't do it, and he didn't dare to persecute it, worried that the Mu family would completely fall into the hostile camp.
From this point of view, I have to say that the head of the Mu family is a very remarkable figure.
Hearing Zhao Jing'an's words, Zhao Jingli shook his head: "I don't know." ”
As he spoke, two young women had already disembarked from the carriage. One of them was dressed in red, but he had a cold temperament; The other was dressed in a goose-yellow dress and walked gently.
If Zhao Ruxi was here, he would know that these were the two sisters Mu Qingqiang and Mu Qinglian.
Mu Qinglian saw Zhao Jingli and the three of them coming out of the Suiping Bo Mansion, looking dressed like the master, she took a few steps forward, bowed, and asked Zhao Ruyu with a smile: "This girl, I don't know if this is the Suiping Bo Mansion?" We are Zhao Ruxi's classmates and came to visit her. ”
They handed over the post yesterday. Come over today, just report directly to the maid and the concierge of Suiping Bofu, and someone from the concierge will lead them in.
But when they met the master of Suiping Bofu, whether it was relatives or someone else, they couldn't turn a blind eye, so they had to come forward to ask in person.
When Zhao Ruyu heard that these two people were Zhao Ruxi's classmates, she suddenly became jealous in her heart.
When she first entered the Beijing Women's Academy, she wanted to manage her network. The classmates of the Beijing Women's Academy are all from prominent backgrounds, and she can get great benefits by making friends with any of them. Compared with her, Zhao Ruxi in Beining, whether it is the daughter of a village kun or a small landlord, the grade difference is 108,000 miles.
Unexpectedly, the Beijing Women's Academy is a very snobbish place, and people have their own small circles. She went, but she couldn't squeeze into any circle, and it wasn't easy to please people. In the end, I could only follow Qi Xuan and others as a small follower, and I couldn't receive invitations if I wanted to participate in the banquet at the end of the year.
And Zhao Ruxi not only worshipped Mr. Deadwood as a teacher in Beining, but also became a good friend with the county lord of Qingyang, and fell on the big tree of Zhennan Wangfu; Now there are classmates like the Mu family. This really made Zhao Ruyu jealous and had mixed tastes.
Who is God's daughter?
These distracting thoughts were only for a moment, Zhao Ruxi quickly gathered his mind and replied with a smile: "It's Suiping Bofu." My name is Zhao Ruyu, and Zhao Ruxi is my cousin. ”
At this time, Mama Ruan, who was waiting at the gatehouse, stepped forward at the right time and saluted the two: "The two are Miss Mu Qi and Miss Mu Ba, right?" Our girl sent an old slave to wait for the two girls here. ”
At this time, she introduced the identities of both parties.
After the introduction, she made a gesture: "Two Mu girls, please come in, my girl has been waiting for a long time." ”
Mu Qingqiang has always been arrogant and unreasonable. When Mu Qinglian greeted her just now, she stood aside and was silent. At this time, listening to Mama Ruan's invitation, she immediately walked inside.
Mu Qinglian acted much more thoughtfully. She nodded to the three of them and said, "Let's go in first." Only then did he follow Mu Qingqiang and enter the Suiping Bo Mansion.
Zhao Ruyu looked at their distant backs and sighed: "How did the fifth sister know the girl of the Mu family?" Shouldn't the girls of the Mu family all go to school at the Beijing Women's Academy? How did you get to Bac Ninh? ”
Zhao Jingli was originally the prince, and interpersonal relations in the capital were one of the compulsory courses for the prince.
He said: "The county magistrate of Bac Ninh County is surnamed Mu. ”
In Suipingbo's mansion, Zhao Ruxi had received a report from the porter and greeted him at the weeping flower room.
After Mu Qingqiang and Mu Qinglian met her, they first went to the old lady and the Zhu family to ask for peace, and then followed Zhao Ruxi to Xiuzhu Academy.
Mu Qingqiang entered the bamboo cultivation courtyard, sat down and said, "Your home is quite quiet. ”
Mu Qinglian hurriedly explained with a smile to Zhao Ruxi: "What my eighth sister means is that the environment of your house is very good, there are many flowers and trees, and the environment is elegant, she likes it very much." ”
She was worried that Zhao Ruxi would misunderstand Mu Qingqiang's connotation, and the population of Suiping Bofu would wither.
The ancients paid attention to the prosperity of people. Like the Mu family, there are seventy or eighty masters alone, not counting those who are officials in other places.
Living in the capital is not easy, the Mu family's original status was not prominent, and it was impossible to build a house on a large piece of land, so it was a little crowded to live. Zhao Ruxi can live in a big yard by himself, while they are several sisters sharing a yard, which is inevitably noisy and sometimes dirty.
Mu Qingqiang said that she was really envious of Zhao Ruxi. But when you hear these words in the ears of the other party, it is inevitable that they will not be misunderstood. After all, it is not a good thing that people are thin, and it is also a scandal that Suiping Bofu broke up because of Wei's change of children. If Zhao Ruxi misunderstood her cousin and sarcastically ridiculed her, it would be bad.
They are here to make friends, not to make enemies.
