Chapter 173: Tang Clan
"Say my mother? What do you say about my mother? Mu Qing touched his chin, is this a discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
But Wan Lianyu is a very gentle and polite woman, there shouldn't be anyone who doesn't like it, right?
Wan Wan pursed her lips, and the old woman was about to blurt out, but when she thought that it was Mu Qing's grandmother, she changed her words in the end:
"What else can I say, that is, I look down on my aunt and say that she is from a businessman's background."
Mu Qing understood as soon as she looked at her, and it is estimated that this so-called grandmother not only said this, but also said it more excessively, which made Wan Wan so dissatisfied.
"Why didn't I affect it......"
Mu Qing thought about it carefully, and no one really told her about having a grandmother.
Wan Wan heard Mu Qing's words at the tip of his ear, and said indifferently:
"Of course you didn't affect it, you followed your uncle to Beijing when you were only three years old, she didn't go to Beijing all these years, and you didn't go back to your hometown, it's strange that you have an influence!"
Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was the case, then there was no problem, you can inquire openly.
The two of them chatted for a while and then went back to have lunch together, and after a while, the old man took his leave.
Mu Qing also happened to have the opportunity to find Mama Chen to inquire about her grandmother.
Mama Chen is an old man in the family, so she knows these things very clearly.
Mu Qing's grandfather was a high school Tanhualang who was handsome and handsome, and his literary talents were good, and the first emperor liked him very much, and married him and a noble daughter of Langya Xie's side branch.
Don't look at the side branch, Langya Xie is famous, even if it is the daughter of the side branch with that Tanhualang, it is more than enough.
This noble girl is also a talented woman, and the two of them love each other very much after marriage, and they are not happy when they recite poems.
But not long after this kind of day, this noble girl died of an emergency, leaving Mu Qing's grandfather with a son and a half daughter, but making Mu Qing's grandfather bear the reputation of a wife.
Mu Qing's grandfather was very sad, and a few years later, under the arrangement of his parents, he took Mu Qing's grandmother Tang.
Unlike the noble girl before, Tang's background is not good, and her father is just a county master.
The reason for marrying her is also very simple - it can suppress the life of Mu Qing's grandfather and wife!
The Tang family is really hard-hitting, not only did they hold the two of them for three years, but they also survived Mu Qing's grandfather.
This is the opinion of outsiders, Mama Chen said that the main reason why Mu Qing's grandfather died early was because he missed his deceased wife.
The deceased wife is gentle and generous and can accompany him in the wind and snow, but on the other hand, Tang only has two words - vulgar!
Mu Chenghai was only nine years old when Mu Qing's grandfather died, and Mu Chenghai and his younger brother Mu Chenghe were both raised by the Tang family.
To be precise, it should be raised under the name of the Tang family, but it is Mu Qing's great-grandfather and great-grandmother who pay for it.
Mu Qing probably understands that this grandmother should belong to the kind of person who can't be on the table in Mama Chen's mouth, and Bo Qi is from a poor family.
Mu Qing forgot about it after learning about this, anyway, she didn't plan to take the initiative to go back to Shangshu Mansion, and she wouldn't have anything to do with the Tang family, and she didn't look confused when she learned about it in the future.
However, Mu Qing obviously thought too well, and Mu Wan came that afternoon.
Mu Wan didn't know what she had experienced, she had lost a lot of weight, she was a lot haggard, her face was pointy, and she looked a little mean.
"Niangniang Ann." Mu Wan stepped forward and saluted.
Mu Qing nodded and asked her to get up: "Is there anything wrong with coming here so late?" ”
Mu Wan's hand was clenched tightly, and she smiled reluctantly when she heard Mu Qing's words: "Father asked you to go back to dinner tomorrow." ”
"Oh......" Mu Qing thought for a moment, she should be able to meet her grandmother Tang at this meal?
It seems to be a feast.
Mu Wan was a little dissatisfied with her attitude, and her speech was also weird:
"I heard that His Royal Highness went to Yuezhou for disaster relief on the front foot, and my sister followed on the back foot? Kyochu has been talking a lot about this recently. ”
The news of Mu Qing's "coercion and inducement" in Yuezhou to let them take money for disaster relief was spread to Beijing, and everyone had different opinions about it.
There are praises and disdains, and it is clear that Mu Wan is the latter.
"yes, does my sister think there's something wrong?" Mu Qing blinked and looked at Mu Wan innocently:
"My father said that I did a good job, but my sister didn't think the same way?"
Talking nonsense with his eyes open is like Mu Qing, anyway, the forgery of the secret decree has been done, are you still afraid of such a trivial thing as pulling the flag?
Mu Wan originally wanted to satirize Mu Qing, but she was so neatly organized by Mu Qing that she couldn't get off the stage, can she say it?
Isn't that against the emperor?
Seeing the stiff smile on Mu Wan's face, Mu Qing's mood also improved a lot, and he waved his hand after laughing twice:
"Sister go back, I know, I'll go back then."
Mu Wan looked at Mu Qing with two more hatreds in her eyes, she was a sister, but she had to be treated by Mu Qing like this!
After a perfunctory salute, Mu Wan left.
"Humph!" Mu Qing snorted coldly, and Bai Lihong's voice happened to come from outside, "Be careful when you walk next time." ”
Mu Qingzheng wanted to get up and take a look, and saw Bai Lichen and Bai Li Hong coming in.
"Third sister-in-law!" Bai Lihong was the first to smile and greet Mu Qing.
The three of them sat down after saluting each other, and Bai Lihong took a food box from the hand of the waiter and gave it to Xin'er:
"This is what my mother did, give the third sister-in-law a taste, last time you fainted in the palace for so long, my mother was worried about you, but you left the palace the next day, I originally wanted you to raise in the house, and it was the same if you entered the palace again, but the result was ......"
As a result, no one expected Mu Qing to be so strong, and he actually chased Bailichen directly.
Recently, there has been a lot of rumors about this in Beijing, and everyone thinks that Mu Qing is infatuated with Bailichen!
Mu Qing felt very speechless, she just didn't want to be affected by Bailichen, lest her dream of being a rich woman not be realized and she would be wiped first.
"Thank you for me." Mu Qing was also polite, and let Xin'er accept it.
"By the way, my mother is going to hold a flower appreciation banquet the day after tomorrow, the plum blossoms in the palace are blooming, just look at it, the third sister-in-law must come at that time, not only my mother is thinking of you recently, but the imperial grandmother is also thinking of you."
Bai Lihong also took out the invitation card and gave it to Xin'er.
Mu Qing didn't want to go, but there was obviously no way to refuse.
"Okay, I'll go then!" Mu Qing thought about it for a while and took it.
Just go into the palace to see the Queen Mother!
Bai Lichen's face was not very good at this time, and the more he listened to them, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but interrupt Bai Lihong:
"Let's leave when the ninth brother finishes, I have something to say with your third sister-in-law."
Bai Lihong is not finished with fun, but Bai Lichen's face now, if he stays any longer, it is estimated that Bai Lichen can throw him out.
Bai Lihong touched his nose and bowed obediently and left.
"You fainted in the palace, why didn't you tell me?" Bai Lichen asked with a frown.
He didn't know about this matter, there were indeed people in the palace who came to the Three Princes' Mansion that day, but before he could say anything, someone beat the Dengwen drum, and of course he hurried there.
Later, he was directly sent to Yuezhou by the emperor without taking care of this, and he didn't know about it when he went to Yuezhou.
If Bai Lihong hadn't told him today, he really wouldn't have known about it.
It's okay not to talk about this, but Mu Qing is not angry when he talks about it:
"Tell you what you can do? I was looking forward to my death and marry the one who was sent to bed? ”
Bai Lichen was silent, looked at the tea cup in his hand with a pair of eyes, and said after a while:
"At that time, I just wanted to see who wanted to calculate me, even if Shen Shuang'er really framed me, I would have a way to get rid of her."
Mu Qing rolled his eyes and didn't speak.
"Since I married you, you can rest assured, and I won't let those people enter the mansion to get in your way." Bai Lichen said this sincerely.
Mu Qing didn't speak, but he felt inexplicably aggrieved in his heart.
Bai Lichen saw that she didn't speak, but when she was still angry, he got up and left.
Mu Qing sat on the soft couch, and it took a long time to recover, and he didn't take this emotion to heart, but asked people to prepare to go to Shangshu Mansion tomorrow.
When Mu Qing got up the next day, Bai Lichen had already gone to the court, and he left a message, saying that the emperor asked them to discuss matters such as the conviction of Yuezhou officials, and he would not accompany her to Shangshu Mansion today.
Mu Qing snorted and went to Shangshu Mansion with his heart.
Mu Chenghai has not returned yet, and there is only one housekeeper who picks her up at the door.
"Niangniang went to see the old lady and the second master first?" The housekeeper asked cautiously.
Mu Qing nodded, she didn't want to see it, but the etiquette rules can't be lost, in ancient times, she was so annoyed, everywhere was the rule.
The Tang family lived in Deokshoutang, and when Mu Qing arrived, Liu and Mu Wan were already there, and sitting on the top seat was an old woman in her early fifties, dressed in ...... Rich!
On the other side sat a middle-aged man, who looked like Mu Chenghai, and next to him was a woman and a young man.
Mu Qing knew in his heart that it should be Mu Chenghe and his daughter-in-law Zhang, and that young man should be Mu Dezhi, the son of the two of them.
According to Mama Chen, although Mu Chenghe is Mu Chenghai's younger brother, he is an unsuccessful person and a white ding.
His son Mu Dezhi also wasted this name, the same is not a weapon, and he is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
Mu Qing forgot to salute when he thought about this, and stood in the middle in a daze.
Tang Shi suddenly sank his face and said, "This is what it looks like when you see the elders?" There is no etiquette at all! ”
Mu Qing, who was preparing to see the salute: "......"
Mu Qing took a deep breath and showed a decent smile on his face: "Didn't you salute me first?" ”
Mu Qing suddenly felt that this ancient rule and etiquette seemed to be quite good?
"I'm your grandmother! I don't know the rules! I still salute you, why don't you let me, this old thing, kowtow to you? ”
Tang was instantly ignited with anger, and Mu Qing was reprimanded.
Mu Qing hurriedly gave Xin'er a look, how could she let her speak in person at this time!
Xin'er immediately stood up: "Old lady, first the monarch and then the father and son, it should be you who salute our princess first." ”
The hall fell silent and silent.
While Mu Qing was waiting for them to salute, Tang suddenly had a seizure:
"Oops! My life is miserable, I still have to salute my granddaughter! It's really time to fly on the branch and make a phoenix and forget to be a chicken, and our poor relatives don't recognize it, and it's in the way of your eyes! A good daughter raised by the Wan family! I should have drowned you in ...... if I knew I could."
