Chapter Seventy-Three: The Mansion of the Marquis of Anle
Another day passed, and Mu Qingwan got up early in the morning.
After breakfast, he changed into the prepared clothes and took Su Mei to Mrs. Mu's courtyard.
When Mu Qingwan went, Mu Chen and Mu Yan were already waiting. Mu Lan was coquettish, so he had to go with him, and after pacifying Mu Lan, he set off.
Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingwan took a carriage, and Mu Chen and Mu Yan took a carriage and headed for Anle Hou's Mansion.
arrived at the destination, handed over the invitation, and Mrs. Mu and the others followed the little maid who led the way into the Anle Hou Mansion.
"Second Lady Mu, are you here?"
As soon as Mrs. Mu arrived at the place, she was recognized by the sharp-eyed Mrs. Zhao San.
This Mrs. Zhao San is none other than Mrs. Zhao Taishou, who hosted a banquet for Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingwan in Wancheng five years ago, five years have passed, Mrs. Zhao San's body is even thinner, and her eye sockets are deep-set, although she is covered with heavy fat powder, she can still see haggard on her face.
"Mrs. Zhao San, long time no see."
Mrs. Mu greeted Mrs. Zhao San politely and detachedly.
"I remember this is Qingwan, have you grown so big? These two are the eldest prince and the younger son? All good boys. ”
Mrs. Zhao San didn't seem to hear Mrs. Mu's tone, and still said familiarly.
"Come in and sit, your third sister is also inside."
"There is labor."
Mrs. Mu was stunned for a moment before she reacted, who was Mrs. Zhao San talking about, no wonder Mrs. Mu reacted half a beat slower, it seems that the title of third sister has not been mentioned for too many years.
In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Mu asked Mu Chen to take Mu Yan to the men's place.
"Ah Yan, the first time you are attending a banquet, remember to follow your brother closely."
Mu Qingwan had lingering palpitations about what happened five years ago, and when she left, she didn't forget to tell Mu Yan a word, and then followed Mrs. Mu into the living room.
"Yo, see who's here?"
As soon as he entered the door, a lady with a big personality spoke loudly.
"Second Mrs. Zhao, isn't this your own sister-in-law?"
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes in the living room looked at Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingwan.
"Second Mrs. Mu is here, please come in."
A dignified and elegant woman invited Mrs. Mu in.
"Mrs. Zhao, long time no see."
Mrs. Mu followed Mrs. Zhao's hand and sat down, and Mu Qingwan followed Mrs. Mu's side.
The old lady of Anle Hou Mansion has passed away, and the housewife of the family has become Mrs. Zhao of the big house, Mu Qingwan sees that this Mrs. Zhao's complexion is much better than that of Mrs. Zhao San.
Around the customer hall, Mu Qingwan found a different character. At the top of the comparison sat a tall woman, whose skin was yellowish, so she touched the heavy fat powder, and her eyebrows were trimmed into willow eyebrows, but they really did not match the big face plate. In fact, the face is not really that big, but the lines are hard and looks too heroic. should be a woman with a free and easy personality, but she is holding Juan Pa with her orchid fingers, which is really a bit spicy. Needless to say, this is the legendary aunt. If Mu Qingwan confirmed it at a glance, the face that had a six- or seven-point resemblance to Second Uncle Wang would be enough to explain everything.
Mu Qingwan is now glad that Mrs. Mu's appearance is more like her grandmother, and she is picking a good genetic inheritance, and she is also glad that she has no atavistic phenomenon, although Mu Qingwan does not care deeply about her appearance, but no one wants her appearance to be too excessive.
After Mrs. Mu came in, the living room was silent for a while, and even the woman who had spoken at first stopped talking.
Mu Qingwan quietly tugged on Mrs. Mu's sleeve.
"Qingwan, it's your aunt over there, you haven't seen it yet, you haven't seen your aunt yet."
“……”
Looking at the smile on the corner of Mrs. Mu's mouth, Mu Qingwan was even more sure that Mrs. Mu meant it.
"Qingwan has seen her aunt."
Mu Qingwan bowed in the direction of Wang Ru.
"You kid, you're always so shy about what to do."
"Mother."
Mu Qingwan shyly bowed her head and leaned against Mrs. Mu.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the heroic heroine of the year actually gave birth to a shy daughter, haha."
It is the woman who speaks first.
"Second Mrs. Jiang has won the award, if you want to talk about heroines, it should be Mrs. Jiang, I learned all the skills I learned when I was young and lost them all over the years."
At this time, Mrs. Mu's communicative skills were highlighted, and the atmosphere slowly increased, and she chatted with the women in the living room. As for the matter of greeting Aunt Wang Ru just now, no one mentioned it anymore.
Knowing her mother Mo Ruonu, Mu Qingwan felt that her mother still cared about her third sister, otherwise why did her eyes always sweep over the other party.
"Look at us talking here, the kids can't sit still. Jing'er, you take the little girls out for a walk. ”
Mrs. Zhao plugged in the space and let her daughter go out with the young ladies.
Zhao Jing is the concubine of the big house of Anle Houfu, fifteen or sixteen years old, and Mrs. Zhao is generally a typical lady. It's just that Mu Qingwan heard that there is going to be a person in the first house of the showgirl in the draft, and it stands to reason that the quota of Anlehou's Mansion should fall on the big house, but I don't know how it fell into the second room.
As soon as they went out, the ladies spontaneously formed a small group, and everyone who knew each other on weekdays got together. Mu Qingwan didn't know anyone, so she could only take Su Mei around the mansion by herself.
"You're Qingwan's cousin, right? I'm your cousin. ”
A girl in a tender yellow dress approached Mu Qingwan, the girl had a pretty face and a clever smile, not very similar to her aunt Wang Ru's appearance, probably inheriting Zhao Erye's appearance.
"Cousin Yun."
Mu Qingwan called out and lowered her head a little shyly. After all, I already had a shy image just now, and it seems that I have to pretend to be an introvert for a day today.
"I'll know you when you go back to the capital, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to see me, and you'll have to play with me more when you have time in the future, mother, you don't have to mind."
Zhao Yun took Mu Qingwan's hand, and there was a little helplessness in her tone.
Mu Qingwan couldn't touch this cousin's temper, so she just nodded.
"You just came to the capital and you don't know much about it, let's go, I'll take you to meet my brother."
Zhao Yun took Mu Qingwan's hand and walked in one direction.
"The person who just took us out was my second sister Zhao Jing, the daughter of my uncle's family. There are only two people in the second room, my brother and me, my brother's name is Zhao Xiao, and he is now studying at Tongren Academy. By the way, I know I still have three cousins, so you're the only one here today? ”
"The elder brother and the second brother also came, but the younger brother didn't come at home."
"It's the second cousin Mu Chen and the fourth cousin Mu Yan, I know all of them, but I don't have a chance to meet them. Mother's personality is like this, too stubborn, my father has said that my mother has been many times, but unfortunately I can't change it, and I have chosen my grandfather's family over the years. ”
Zhao Yun's voice was a little lonely.
Mu Qingwan lowered her head and did not speak.
"Yun girl, where are you going?"
When she was halfway through, a girl called Zhao Yun.
"Eldest sister, this is my cousin Mu Jia Qingwan, I'll take her to meet my brother."
"Hmm."
The other party said hello and left.
"I just bought one for my eldest sister Zhao Huan, the daughter of the third uncle's family."
That person didn't need to be introduced by Zhao Yun, Mu Qingwan also knew that the reborn daughter Zhao Huan was the initiator of Mu Yan's overboard.
