Chapter 117: The Mu Family's Calculations
"Madam, what you said is easy, how can we civilians ask the people of the government about the private affairs of adults? I have asked a few people before, and I have found nothing, and I have made a lot of unjust money, which is simply more than worth the loss. ”
When Mu Youcai said this, he felt sorry for his silver.
"As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, I'm afraid that we will continue to investigate, if the news is leaked, the prefect will definitely think that our Mu family is a person who is attached to the flies and dogs, if the family affairs are withdrawn, then what should be done."
Mu Youcai preached for a while, and the woman felt that it was reasonable, so she didn't ask anything anymore.
"It's all your own opinion, what do you say about the doll family set by the older generation, so that I must marry the young master of the prefect, but the person who made this marriage contract is not me! I don't want to talk about the things later, what do you say, father, mother, if our family and the prefect's family pick up the in-laws, how good is it to us, I didn't think about it, then the prefect's young master is a sick seedling, this hasn't passed the door, he got sick, if I really get married, is it possible that I want to face a sick cat? ”
The person who spoke was about the same age as Mu Qingniang, and he was also sixteen years old.
But she doesn't look like a peer at all with Mu Qingniang, her facial features are a little uncoordinated, her eyes are too high, the bridge of her nose is long, she looks mean and difficult to get along with, and she doesn't have the kind of aura that she should have at her age, and she looks very small.
This is Mu Qingniang's half-sister, Yu Wenniang's eldest daughter, named Ling Niang.
Mu Youcai was bad, "Shut up!" Dad did this for your own good, what is there to refuse for marriage? You just need to abide by these, besides, the prefect is a member of the fourth grade, and that is how many girls have sharpened their heads and want to enter! What if the prefect's son is weak, you go to be the head lady, and the prefect will be your backer in the future! I do it all for your own good! ”
Mu Youcai was originally a little flustered, but he was provoked by his daughter, and he suddenly became angry, and his tone was much heavier than just now.
The lady on the side hurriedly comforted him, and at the same time glanced at her daughter, signaling her not to say any more. "Daughter, don't say a word, your father is in a mess now, don't make trouble for him! Yan'er, you take your sister back to the room first! ”
The woman stopped her daughter's words and told the younger children to leave first, but the eldest daughter, Ling Niang, was even more reluctant when she saw that her brother and sister were gone.
"Why should I listen to you, who is married, and who is not married to him? He has been sick for so long, I am still so young, what kind of rich days do you say? If his body dies one day, and my rich days are over, do you want me to be widowed at a young age? ”
After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that what she said was a little excessive. But if you say it and splash the water, you will say it yourself, and your parents' faces will never be better at this time.
Mu Youcai stood up, his eyes staring at his daughter, as if he was about to burst into flames at any time, "Wen Niang! This is our good daughter? Such lawlessness? ”
Yu Wenniang hurriedly got up to stop her husband, and turned back to her daughter from time to time to say this, "Ling Niang, what you said is too much!" Apologize to your daddy, do you want to us off? ”
Mu Lingniang knew that she was out of shape, and her tone immediately changed a little submissively, and she didn't say a word.
Yu Wenniang helped Mu Youcai to sit down, and then immediately turned around, with anger in her eyes, "I've said it many times, don't mention her at home!" The last thing your dad wants to hear is anything about her! Also, your father is all for your good, as long as you marry into the prefect's mansion, you are the wife of the official family, and your identity is naturally superior, and there is no need to say much about glory and wealth! It doesn't matter what a man looks like, just have money, then Chen Jiasi's son is the only son of the prefect, if there is really such a day, then the prefect's property is not all yours alone. Really, I wouldn't even think about it! ”
Mu Youcai snorted coldly at this time, and his heart was even more unhappy, "It doesn't matter what a man looks like, as long as he has money?" Why is this so wrong, ma'am, you must be talking about me. ”
Yu Wenniang was stunned for a moment, snorted out with a coquettish laugh, and hurriedly snorted, "Master, look at what you said, I'm educating children, why are you still serious?" ”
Although these words were straightforward and vulgar, Mu Lingniang really listened to them, her eyes rolled, as if she understood something, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do, I should always do something in this situation now, right?" ”
At this time, an old voice came from the back hall: "Then you will go to see him tomorrow to see if his illness has improved, and by the way, ask about the wedding date, anyway, the engagement banquet has been arranged." It doesn't matter if you ask. ”
Accompanied by the voice of the old man, and the sound of the crutch standing step by step, everyone present followed the prestige.
I saw an old woman walking out of the back hall, her hair was half black and half white, her forehead was tied and her forehead was wiped, her hands and feet were slightly trembling, and she was slowly supported by the maid.
Mu Youcai and the three of them hurriedly got up and welcomed the old woman over, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
Mu Youcai gently grabbed her hand and swept away the panicked look just now. Mu Lingniang also leaned over and pinched her grandmother's shoulders affectionately.
"Really, as the head of the family, I don't stop eating, but I was disturbed by your quarrels, so I came over to see what was going on. I can't imagine that you are arguing over such a trivial matter, there is really no big family. ”
"Yes, yes, what grandma said is, everything is just as grandma wants." Mu Lingniang thought so deeply at this time, and the corners of her mouth showed a subtle and weird smile that was not easy to detect.
Dawn breaks, and the early morning Linshui Village has started a busy day.
Yesterday's toss, Mu Qingniang's family of three was really tired, coupled with the excitement of moving to a new home, today did not get up as early as every day, and it was two teas later than before.
When Mu Qingniang woke up, hurriedly tidied up her appearance, woke up the two children, and was just about to prepare breakfast, the sudden sound of a carriage came.
But fortunately, this time the carriage was not a member of Najiang Mansion, but a medical hall carriage that had not been here for a long time.
When Mu Qingniang was stunned, Lu Rumo got off the carriage and walked in front of her playfully, with a harmless smile on her face, and teased, "What? Master, isn't it a disappointment that it's not Jiang Dashan's carriage today? Hee-hee-hee-hee......"
"Okay, you, now even your master dares to tease, your body is better, is this itchy again?" Mu Qingniang came back to her senses, rolled up her sleeves, and looked like she wanted to do something.
"Don't, Master, this is my father's special instruction, Master's housewarming, this is the first day, we must be sincere and take you over." Lu Rumo took Mu Qingniang's hand and was about to get into the car, but was stopped by Mu Qingniang.
"I haven't made breakfast for the kids yet, so wait for me."
"Master, when is it now, still making breakfast? You bring them with you, let's go to the county to eat dumplings today! ”
Under Lu Rumo's warm invitation, Mu Qingniang couldn't, so she had to take the two children into the carriage.
After breakfast, today according to the custom, Mu Qingniang went to Jiangfu and followed the guidance of his subordinates to Yiyun Courtyard.
Mama Song saw Mu Qingniang in the courtyard, she was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal and talked with Mu Qingniang.
Mu Qingniang didn't think much about it, and asked about Yunluo's situation after she left Yiyun Courtyard in the past few days.
After listening, I knew in my heart, "Sister Luo'er's first stage of treatment has ended, and now she has gradually become familiar with you, the next thing is to let her take the initiative to contact the outside world, instead of being guided by us, which is very passive, and it is not good for Sister Luo'er's condition." ”
Mu Qingniang made up her mind, and asked the servants outside the door to call a few more female dependents to come to Yiyun Courtyard.
The servant didn't dare to slack off, so he did as he said, and when all the people who should have come came, Mu Qingniang took Yun Luo out, slowly approached those people, and ordered Ah Shui to stand in a row with them.
At first, Yun Luo didn't dare to face those strangers, hugged Mu Qingniang's neck, and twisted her head. Mu Qingniang walked in front of the servant, but Yun Luo still didn't react.
"Pretty sister, do you remember me?"
At this time, Ah Shui opened his mouth, and Mu Qingniang obviously felt that Yun Luo's tense body had relaxed for a moment.
Immediately after, Jiang Yunluo slowly turned her head to look at Ah Shui.
