Chapter 21: I don't know the rules
"Sister Xuan, hello." Before the banquet officially began, a plainly dressed little girl walked up to Mu Ningxuan and called out to Mu Ningxuan softly.
Mu Ningxuan saw that it was her third sister Mu Ningjia, a smile appeared on her face, and she was just about to speak, when she heard Guo Xiaoniang's cold voice: "Why are you here?" ”
Guo Xiaoniang was obviously very dissatisfied with Mu Ningjia who suddenly appeared at the banquet in the front hall.
"Back to Aunt Guo, it was my father who happened to see me just passing by Lan Yuexuan and asked me to come over to meet Sister Xuan." Mu Ningjia lowered her head and whispered.
Mu Ningxuan knew that since the death of her mother, the life of the third sister and her little sister in Mufu has plummeted, and their mother and daughter have had a bad time in recent years, Guo Xiaoniang has secretly deducted a lot of their use, Lan Xiaoniang does needlework every day just to barely survive, fortunately, Lan Xiaoniang's needlework is second to none, and many people are willing to buy it, but Lan Xiaoniang's eyes are about to burn out over the years.
Mu Ningxuan still remembers that when she got married in the previous life, Lan Xiaoniang gave her a set of soft brocade quilts embroidered with mandarin ducks, which was the best thing that their mother and daughter could come up with at that time, but at that time, Mu Ningxuan didn't look down on such a low-grade thing at all, and she didn't take it out and use it once.
Guo Xiaoniang stared at Mu Ningjia and said lukewarmly: "Okay, you have also seen your sister Xuan, you can go back." ”
"Yes." Mu Ningjia still lowered her head and turned around to leave.
"Wait." Mu Ningxuan stood up, walked to Mu Ningjia's side, took Mu Ningjia's hand, and said with a smile: "This sister is so familiar, I seem to have seen it when I was a child." ”
Mu Ningjia looked up at Mu Ningxuan, with a somewhat flattered look on her face.
Guo Xiaoniang's face instantly turned into a smile, and she introduced: "Sister Xuan, this is your third sister Mu Ningjia." ”
"It turned out to be the third sister, the third sister hasn't seen you for a long time, come here, sit next to me." Mu Ningxuan beckoned to Mu Ningjia.
Guo Xiaoniang hurriedly stopped: "Xuan'er, your third sister can't stay here. ”
"Why?" Mu Ningxuan was puzzled.
Guo Xiaoniang said: "Lan Xiaoniang has been in poor health recently, your third sister has to go back to accompany her." ”
"Aunt Lan is not in good health? What's wrong? Can you ask the doctor to see it? Mu Ningxuan looked at Mu Ningjia and said with concern.
The corners of Guo Xiaoniang's mouth twitched a little, and she was very displeased, but she still had a smile on her face.
Mu Ningjia has always known Guo Xiaoniang's methods, and she was afraid that she would make Guo Xiaoniang unhappy today, and her life in Mufu would be even more difficult in the future, so she hurriedly explained: "Sister Xuan, Aunt Guo has already asked my little mother for a doctor, my little mother has been almost fine in the past two days, but my little mother is timid and frail, if I accompany her from time to time, she will be more at ease." ”
Mu Ningxuan didn't want to quarrel with Guo Xiaoniang as soon as she came back, since the third sister had taken the steps, she naturally had to go down.
Watching Mu Ningjia leave the main hall, Guo Xiaoniang turned her face away and whispered a few words to Mother Shen behind her.
"Sister Meng, Sister Yin, Brother Jie, why haven't the three of them come yet?"
Although the voice was small, Mu Ningxuan could hear it, Xu was reborn again, her memory, hearing, and sense of smell were much better than before.
Shen's mother said with a sad face: "I just sent someone to ask, saying that my brothers and sisters are changing their clothes, and they will be there in a while." ”
"At this time, they don't understand the rules, hurry up and urge again, don't let the master know."
"Yes."
Guo Xiaoniang and her three children have not appeared at the banquet until now, when they picked up Mu Ningxuan at the gate of the mansion before, Mu Ningxuan didn't see them, and the three must have been waiting impatiently, and slipped away while Mu Houye was not paying attention.
Relying on Guo Xiaoniang to run the entire Pingchang Hou Mansion over the years, the treatment of these three in Mufu is also unusual, the food and clothing are all first-class, they have long regarded themselves as the sons and daughters of Mufu, Mu Ningxuan came back this time, and these three didn't pay attention to it at all.
