Chapter 274: The Trip to Bai Yuan'an

While the two were talking, someone outside said:

"Master Hou is back."

Stopping the conversation, Murong Qing came in from outside and stepped forward to salute his aunt. Madame Kou looked at the nephew in front of her. He looks like a jade tree in the wind, and he is a handsome son, but he is rumored to be like a yaksha by people from the outside world.

And this child, as if he didn't know how to laugh when he was young, was cold to everyone. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he looks as old as forty-seven or eighteen.

"Well, it looks quite energetic, there are still two or three months, and your filial piety period is about to come out, are you going back to the capital to live?"

"I won't go back yet, I think it's good here."

Murong Qing replied.

Kou Baoyu moved his lips slightly, and after thinking about it, he still didn't speak again.

Murong Qing sat down, and Mrs. Kou naturally still had to ask about the business. Murong Qing naturally knew more than Kou Baoyu, but after hearing Murong Qing say everything he knew, Mrs. Kou's face was a little complicated.

Because this is the first time she has heard about the house rules of the merchants. I didn't expect the merchant to have this kind of house rule. And this family rule Tan Jushi also agreed. His son didn't object at all.

What kind of family is the Kou family, even if the second child does not accept the throne, but it is not an ordinary family, why do you want to let the second child have the surname Shang?

Can't the Kou family afford it? The rules of this business are also a little too much. Because Kou Baoyu didn't know that this Murong Qing's favorite girl was the young head of the business, his first reaction after hearing about this family rule was to laugh and say:

"It seems that this merchant is crazy because of the lack of sons. Want to take your daughter's son back to the merchant to raise? ”

Hearing what his aunt said, I don't know why, Murong Qing was a little unhappy. Gently continued:

"The upbringing of the merchant's children is still good."

Mrs. Kou looked at Murong Qing with some astonishment, and Murong Qing said calmly:

"As far as I can see, the children of the merchants are really good, even if it is a girl, they have also taken on some heavy responsibilities, even in some families, boys can't do it."

Kou Baoyu said:

"Sister-in-law, then what are you going to do, you won't really go to withdraw this kiss, Ziyu may be a little unhappy then."

"Alas, that's my problem, too! I hate this kid, he didn't kiss me when he was a child, but I thought he was a baby. I'm also thinking about him, you think, I have a niece on my mother's side, and she is also full of poetry and books, and she can afford to be a red woman. What's wrong? I've told him a million times, but he just doesn't want to. ”

"It's good now, and you went behind my back to order this pro. You say, "What is this?" Speaking of which, oops, I have a headache! Especially now that he has passed him over, he doesn't take us seriously. Alas! ”

Murong Qing looked at his aunt and said:

"Perhaps, you should take a look at the merchant girl, a very good girl. It's a little worse than her mother's status, but is that what she can choose? That was her biological father, besides, her father and mother didn't feel sorry for her, and they raised her well. You don't have to worry about eating at home, which is good. ”

"Alas, you don't understand, this girl's family, after marrying into her mother-in-law's family, is to establish a family, a girl who has no good upbringing, can't support a family, it's good to marry a daughter-in-law, but in charge of three generations, if a daughter-in-law doesn't marry well, it will be a bad house!"

Mrs. Kou also said specially. Then he pointed at Murong Qing and said:

"You have to keep your eyes open, you are about to leave your filial piety, and you are eighteen years old. I'll help you look back at it, and among the girls in Beijing, there are still a few who are still good. ”

Murong Qing smiled faintly and said:

"Then you don't have to worry about your aunt. Let's take care of my cousin first. ”

"No, I still have to discuss it with my sister-in-law, who may have been away from Beijing for too long. There will be no maiden family in Jingzhong in the future, and Ziyu will be far worse than Zilang's life in the future. ”

Murong Qing saw that this little aunt couldn't persuade him, so he stopped persuading him, it seemed that this person was too persistent.

After resting for one night, the next day, Mrs. Kou and Kou Baoyu left Baiyuan City early in the morning and went to Baiyuan Nunnery. Because yesterday I asked someone to go up the mountain to inform me first, so today the mountain gate was closed in Baiyuan Nunnery, and no other guests were accepted, only these two Houmen ladies were received.

Murong Qing had no choice but to escort him personally, but Ouyang Xu heard that he was going to Baiyuan'an, thinking that the scenery he saw last time was still good, so he went to go again.

Because one is Mrs. Hou, the other is Mrs. Hou and one is Mrs. Hou, and one is the prince of the world, so Jinghui, the presiding officer of the nunnery, brought out all the people in the nunnery and stood at the mountain gate to greet the visitors.

Tan Jushi didn't come out to greet them, anyway, Tan Jushi is the eldest lady of the Kou family, if her man hadn't died in battle, this Hou wouldn't have been Kou Poxi's turn to sit, and Mrs. Hou is Tan Jushi and not Xu Wanniang.

Mrs. Kou and Mrs. Murong entered the nunnery and came to the Bodhisattva, and they would definitely go to burn incense for the Bodhisattva first. The two ladies went to the Bodhisattva to bow down, and then also went to the merit box and put down some silver coins, which naturally made the presiding masters smile.

Then, Mrs. Kou and Mrs. Murong went to the back wing room and found the small courtyard where Tan Jushi lived. And Ouyang Xu didn't go any further. Because he didn't know Tan Jushi, and the purpose of his coming was to see the scenery here, so he naturally went around.

Murong Qing couldn't, he had to go and say hello to Tan Jushi, it was his eldest aunt. Of course, Murong Qing didn't participate in the conversation, and after saying hello, Murong Qing also came out.

And when Mrs. Kou entered the small courtyard, she also sighed a little in her heart. Actually, in Kou's house, there is a big courtyard. The interior is still as delicate as ever. But there was no master to live in it. That was the former yard of the eldest son of the Kou family.

After getting married, he also lived in that courtyard, but less than a month after getting married, he went to the border city and never came back, leaving a Tan Jushi who didn't want to live in that courtyard again.

Compared with the courtyard of the Kou family, this courtyard is really not worth mentioning, because it is small and broken here, and there is nothing to ask for, and it feels cold when you walk in.

This Baiyuan Nunnery, from the outside, is still red walls and blue tiles, but in Tan Jushi's courtyard, in addition to the flowers planted in color, the others are green plants and gray walls.

Mu Jin welcomed the two ladies in, and when Tan Jushi saw that there were people in the family, there were no more smiling faces, and he still said coldly:

'Amitabha! ’

"Sister-in-law! You're ..... here."

To be honest, Xu Wanniang, who has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, really didn't expect that a hard day could be such a hard time. The family obviously has a good life, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to live so hard here!
