It was almost noon, the summer outside the house was scorching, the heat wave was rolling, and I felt that the sun was dazzling when I didn't move.

The grandmother of the Mu family is used to living a high-flying life, and she naturally doesn't think there is anything wrong with this kind of weather for Mu Ningyuan to rush over, "Ning Jun, this is the family matter of the Mu family, you are too lenient." ”

When Mu Shilang was in the capital, the grandmother of the Mu family was like this, and she always didn't wait to see their poor relatives, and she didn't bother to pay attention to them on weekdays. Mu Ningjun sneered in his heart, don't say that Mu Shilang has been demoted out of Beijing, even if he is in the capital, how can he confront the prince with what virtue.

"The patriarch sent a letter a few days ago, the palace sent someone to the clan, and specially explained the affairs of Mu Ningyuan's brothers and sisters to the clan to take care of them.

"This time, I came over, not to greet you with warmth, but to tell you the patriarch's clear order. Zhixi's marriage, from the ancestral house in the capital, Zhixi's mother's marriage, you sorted it out this morning, and the income from the shop grange for so many years must be reported. ”

Mu Ningjun's face was gloomy and could drip water, and at this time, there was still the spring breeze smile when he first entered.

The grandmother of the Mu family has been arrogant in the clan for so many years with Mu Shilang, how can she tolerate being disgraced by Mu Ningjun like this in front of outsiders.

slapped the table and said angrily: "You are just the eldest grandson of the Mu family patriarch, you can talk to me like this, even if the patriarch is here, he will give me some face." ”

Mu Ningjun snorted, "Look at what you do, everyone in the capital knows it, Zhixi and Ning Yuan were cleaned out of the house by you, the children are in the capital, as the grandmother of the Mu family, have you ever cared for it, have you ever given a tael of silver, have you ever thought that the children have carbon to make a fire and clothes to protect against the cold." ”

"At this time, the emperor has given the marriage, Zhixi has become the princess, you are not thinking about how to earn face for the Mu family and prepare a dowry for the child, what you are thinking about is how you can enjoy the blessings of the child, and even take the dowry of the child's mother, you see, what have you done? Don't say that I have received the express order of the patriarch, even if I don't, I will stand up for them to do justice. ”

The proprietress listened to the wrong tone, got up and went out quietly, but did not go far, women, gossip still has thoughts, she stood outside the door, listening attentively to the movement in the house, even the other guests in the inn, all paid attention to the arguments in the house.

The grandmother of the Mu family was trembling with anger, she never felt that she was wrong, she was a grandmother, even if she wanted Mu Ningyuan Mu Zhixi's life, they couldn't resist, such a relative, cold and cold-blooded, don't do it, just let Mu Zhixi meet it.

"Mu Shilang is the son of how you got it, the patriarch is not old and dizzy, but for the sake of your careful business and management of the Mu family, it will not be investigated, strictly speaking, it is reasonable for the patriarch to expel you from the Mu family."

Mu Ningjun's words made the Mu family's grandmother's face change abruptly, in front of the maid's mother-in-law, Mu Ningjun openly revealed the past scandals, the anger in the heart of the Mu family's grandmother was like a flame, but she didn't dare to renew the incident, some things, although they became the past, but there must have been fish that slipped through the net back then.

If the patriarch didn't pursue it, she thought that people didn't know, and now it seems that she just wants to pinch her at a critical moment. I have to admit that the patriarch is really clever, and when he turned a blind eye and let her fish in troubled waters, it was to take care of the face of the Quanmu family.

If she doesn't know how to lift, at this time, she will be expelled from the Mu family, and the best sword to correct the law will be the best, and the corners of her mouth will squeeze out a mocking smile, "If the patriarch is really smart, the old body is taught, but the cost of this inn is too high, and the Mu family is not as good as it was back then, and they can't afford it." ”

Mu Ningjun looked at the grandmother of the Mu family with strange eyes, and said that this old sister-in-law could still let him find a way to pay, it seems that the eighth prince guessed the difficulties of Mu Ningyuan's brothers and sisters, so he let him come forward.

No matter what the reason is, as long as he can rely on the Eighth Prince, Mu Ningjun will not care, the Eighth Prince's use of him as a sword, after all, looking at the entire capital, there are not a few people who want to rush to carry shoes for the Eighth Prince.

How lucky he is, Mu Zhixi is glittering gold for Mu Ningjun, and it is the guarantee of his net worth on the road to wealth in the future, how can he let the Mu family's grandmother take advantage of half of it.

"Then move back to the old house of the Mu family to live, since the Mu family is not as good as before, you should have refused the arrangement of the eighth prince last night, to this part, it is difficult to rely on the old and sell the old, and let the eighth prince pay you the bill, if that's the case, Mu Liu, you send someone out on the front foot, and I will be the master on the back foot, tell your relatives and friends in the world, and expel you from the Mu family."

"Although our Mu family is not a big family, it is also a knowledgeable person, every generation has a Jinshi into the court as an official, serving the country, the Mu family will naturally encourage a good son to join the army, when the country is in danger and needs to sacrifice his life for the country, my Mu family has never fallen behind, but there is no such tricky woman as you who do not understand."

Mu Ningjun vented the grievances he had accumulated over the years, he used to be the grandmother of the Mu family, and his nominal sister-in-law gave him a look on his face, feng shui took turns, and he would never let go of a good opportunity. ninth

The grandmother of the Mu family was so angry that she almost turned her back, Mu Ningjun scolded her for all the good reputation she had accumulated, and the shameless woman in his mouth was her, although the maids and daughters present secretly praised Mu Ningjun in their hearts for saying it accurately, but they didn't dare to say much, they were all trembling, for fear that the grandmother of the Mu family would vent her resentment on them.

The proprietress was even more bitter, and thought she was a good guy, she had been making trouble for a long time, she was a poor ghost, and the hair of the iron rooster was not easy to pluck, so she had the heart to find an excuse to drive it out.

There is the face of the eighth master in it, how can it be good now.

The grandmother of the Mu family was so angry that she gritted her back molars and asked angrily: "Then I have already lived, and my cousin will give me that idea, I don't know what to do as a woman." ”

"You have such maids and mothers-in-law, the deed of sale is in your hands, sell a few of them, pay the silver taels for the store, move out quickly, return to the old mansion, keep to yourself, wait for the queen to send someone to check the marriage of the nephew and daughter-in-law before her death, I will let your younger brothers and sisters go over to help. Also, don't go to the Eighth Prince's courtyard to make waves, otherwise, you can't afford the consequences. ”

Mu Ningjun got up and brushed his sleeves away, but the maids couldn't hold on, so they immediately cried and wiped their tears, knelt down, and begged the grandmother of the Mu family not to sell them.

After the proprietress saw Mu Ningjun leave, she quickly lifted the curtain and came in, this time she didn't have the same flattering smile just now, and took the account book with a smile: "Old lady, we are a small business, and we can't afford to be in arrears, you look at this account." ”

The grandmother of the Mu family looked at the maids and daughters-in-law kneeling on the ground, they were all carefully selected over the years, each of them was her confidant, and she helped to do a lot of immoral things.

"Okay, let's all get up, the old body is not down enough to sell the maid, go and bring the old body's jewelry box."

The mother-in-law, who helped take care of the finances, got up and went to the box to get a delicate wooden box and handed it to the grandmother of the Mu family: "Old lady, here is one of them." ”

It is considered that she rewards other people's objects on weekdays, and when she opens it, it looks like it is all simple things, not worth a few dollars, the proprietress pouted, "Old lady, your box is not worth five taels of silver, my inn, you eat with the best food, and the face of the eighth prince is in it, I don't have the slightest fool, you have to give me this money." ”

The grandmother of the Mu family waved her hand to the mother-in-law just now, she turned around and got one again, this time it should be enough, and the mother-in-law was still a little struggling in her arms.

Sure enough, when the box was opened, the grandmother of the Mu family trembled for a while, and her heart was distressed, and her tears were about to fall, so she took out a golden hairpin from it, and the proprietress took it, and she had no intention of leaving.

She was ruthless, and took out a pair of golden phoenix bracelets, and a pair of gold pierced heads, and the proprietress took it with a smile and turned around.

The young man came up and asked, "Do you want lunch?" The grandmother of the Mu family hurriedly postponed, asked the people to pack up their things, set up a carriage, and went in the direction of the old house.

The proprietress crackled and calculated, and the young man continued to run busily, but Ding Yi came in at some point, put a gold ingot under the proprietress eyelids, and whispered a few words.

The proprietress understood and explained the work in the store.

The grandmother of the Mu family staggered back to the old house before Mu Shilang's career, which was uninhabited all year round, in disrepair, and a wooden house, even in summer, it smelled of mold.

She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and the maid and the maid kept cleaning the yard with her hands and feet, and even the curtains and curtains were cheap fabrics that were pulled from the shop, and everyone worked together to make them.

The grandmother of the Mu family is very harsh on her subordinates and children on weekdays, and even Xiao Wang's family can't take advantage of it. The grandmother of the Mu family lived a very luxurious life on weekdays, and the food was the best.

The silver earned by Mu Shilang is in her hands, and even the dowry of the daughter-in-law of the two rooms is also held in her hands, and her life is very comfortable.

It's a pity that the patriarch is now bringing up the old things, eighty percent of it is Mu Ningyuan and Mu Zhixi who promised many benefits to Mu Ningjun, otherwise, how could they stand in the position of Mu Ningyuan's brothers and sisters, and argue with reason, she must not compromise again.
