Chapter 9: The Crowd's Reaction
"The old lady has nothing important, I will go back to the house first, I got up too early today, and I will be sleepy this time."
After An Pinghou and Mu Erye's family left the main hall, Mu Sanye also got up to leave, and without waiting for An Shi's response, he yawned and left with his birdcage.
"Go back too."
Ahn waved his hand weakly and sent the rest away.
"Mother, son (daughter-in-law) go back first."
Uncle Mu and Xiao An's also forgot about An's fainting just now, and immediately left to go back to discuss countermeasures, and their actions were surprisingly consistent, and Dafang's family also left.
The Zhang family and the two concubines in the second room also bid farewell to your An family.
"All out."
The masters all left, and An ordered the maid and mother-in-law to leave as well.
There was only one person left in the main hall of the huge earth, and it was lonely, and it looked extremely desolate.
"Hehe, you still won't forgive me. After many years of husband and wife relationship, you don't care about it at all. ”
Ahn muttered to himself.
"Haha, have you been the only one in your heart from beginning to end? It's a pity, she's dead, she's dead! ”
"No, you don't have a heart, you don't have a heart. Master, my heart is bitter......"
"The little is back, it's back, why don't you die!"
An Shi was alone in the empty hall, crying and laughing alone, sobbing and sobbing, living like a female ghost, very mad.
"Madame, I'm back."
An old female voice suddenly appeared.
"Who? Get out, get out, get out of here. ”
An's furious, who came in without his consent? Is even a subordinate against him?
"Madame, it's me."
A mother-in-law of about fifty years old walked in, stood beside Ahn, and picked up the crutches that Ahn threw on the ground.
An squinted his eyes before he could see the appearance of the person who came.
"Mama Zhao, you old goods, you still know to come back!"
An was very angry, scolded and scolded, and was about to beat Mama Zhao.
Mama Zhao was hit a few times, An was old and didn't have much strength, but the beating was very tricky, and these few hits hurt very much on the body.
"Oh, what kind of anger is the old lady, beware of the body. You really wronged the slave maid, didn't the slave go to see the eldest lady, the eldest lady can speak in front of the queen mother now, if one day...... You're her own grandmother, and you're not happy when you're happy. ”
Mama Zhao endured the pain, did not retreat, but advanced, and reached out to help An's.
Mama Zhao's words diverted An's attention.
"How's Qingyin? Is the Queen Mother still satisfied with her? ”
"Satisfied, satisfied, of course. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming back, you can rest assured. You're tired, so let the slave help you freshen up. ”
Mama Zhao supported An's family, and she didn't shy away from An's current ghostly appearance, probably because she was used to it.
"Hmm."
Where An didn't see it, Mama Zhao pursed her lips in disgust. Stupid, blind and self-righteous, not to be played by me, not at all as dignified as the housewife, since the death of Lao An, more and more unreliable, this ghostly look, no wonder Hou Ye can't look down on it.
……
Uncle Mu and Xiao Anshi went back to the yard, sent their children back to their yard, and closed the door to discuss countermeasures.
"Master, what should I do? Is the dick back? ”
"Idiot, what did you do in the morning, the second child is back, what are you doing behind closed doors, and now there is a lot of talk on the street."
"I, it's not my fault, it's not my mother yet, what can I do?"
Xiao An's happily pushed the responsibility onto An's, and Uncle Mu was also very distressed, this mother did things that dragged her feet.
"Hey, forget it. In the future, you should be polite to the second house, find time to go to the second room to see, make up for the missing things, and try to meet the other requirements of the second room. What my father commanded, I did quickly. ”
At this time, Uncle Mu explained Xiao An's affairs in an orderly manner, his eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he still had the stupid appearance before.
"How can it be done, such a large sum of silver, why!"
"Idiot, is this the time to care about this? The events of that year were all grievances of the elders, and we didn't participate in it. The second child is back, and you have to be polite in the future, the second child is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and he will not do anything to us. And in the future, your mother's affairs, you don't follow the mix, she is not sober-minded, are you also stupid? ”
Uncle Mu can't count on An's now, and he can only avoid as far as he wants.
"Master, what are you afraid of doing in the second room, isn't there still a founding mansion?"
"Have you had your brain eaten by a dog? Have you forgotten who you are? What does the Founding Mansion have to do with you? ”
Uncle Mu is also impatient now, thinking that this little An is also stupid.
"I, I'll just listen to you in the future."
Xiao An's was deflated all of a sudden, she was just a concubine in the side branch of the Founding Mansion, the Founding Mansion's family had a big business, I don't know how many layers it was separated from the lineage, since the death of the old An family, there have been fewer and fewer contacts, and the An family himself can't carry it.
"It's just that the expenses in the house are getting bigger and bigger, there is not much cash in hand, the children are all older, clothes and jewelry need money, Yin'er and Jia'er haven't added new clothes for a long time, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. and your good concubines, they all have to use the same degree as their concubines, and it's a shame to say it. The second child is also back, and the money is even more tight. ”
When it comes to those concubines, Xiao An's is angry, not to mention those foxes in the backyard.
"I still have a sum of silver in my hand, you take it to the emergency first. As for the use, first focus on the concubines and daughters-in-law, and as for the few of them, let's follow the specifications of the concubines in the future. ”
"Got it, sir."
Hearing Uncle Mu's arrangement, Xiao An's heart was very happy. A few concubines are jumping too much, why do they have the same food and clothing as their own children, and those women in the backyard, and then clean them up in the future, but the silver in their hands is really not much, and the old marquis wants to make up for all the money that has been left in the second room for so many years, how much does it cost? There are a lot of people in the second room, and if you take out this silver in your hand, you will be stretched thin in the future. It's just that I didn't expect that the old man still had silver in his hand, which solved the urgent need.
"And Aunt Li's side, you go and notify them as soon as possible, let them fight for a while, and let's wait and see."
"Oh, good."
Xiao An's didn't understand Uncle Mu's intentions, but he was very satisfied with being able to block Aunt Li.
Uncle Mu saw that Xiao An's did not object to him, so he relieved himself. Although this little An's brain is sometimes confused, he is obedient, unlike his mother, who is messing around, Uncle Mu's vanity as a man has been greatly satisfied. This is also the reason why Uncle Mu has been saving face for Xiao An's family in front of many concubines.
Dafang's conversation here was relatively pleasant, at least Uncle Mu and Xiao An's got their own satisfactory results.
In other parts of the house, the reaction was very different.
The daughters of the big house went back to their own place on their own.
Mu Qingjia had no impression of this second uncle for a long time, after all, he was still very young when Second Master Mu left Beijing.
Mu Qingxin was five years old at the time, and she was already the age to start remembering, and when she returned to her residence, she immediately explained the situation to Aunt Ma.
"Child, some things are less involved, my aunt doesn't ask for anything else, I just hope that you can find a wishful husband smoothly, and this life is also a wish."
"Auntie."
Mu Qingxin threw herself into Aunt Ma's arms.
