Chapter Thirty-Six: The Eldest Lady is Back
It turned out that An Shi and Dafang were not in a hurry and immediately found trouble in the second room, because the legendary eldest lady Mu Qingyin was coming back.
The Anping Hou Mansion has shown a trend of decline, except for the second room, there are no outstanding juniors, except for Mu Qingyin.
Mu Qingyin is a relatively famous talented girl in the capital, and she is also relatively famous in Yide Academy. Of course, Mu Qingwan spends most of her time in her yard sorting out medicinal herbs and so on, and she doesn't know much about such gossip, so she doesn't know much.
When it comes to Mu Qingyin, the most commendable thing is that she reads Buddhist scriptures, although she is not born, she has her own research on Zen theory. The Queen Mother is old, people like to eat fasting and chant Buddha when they are old, and by chance, Mu Qingyin fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and from time to time she would be asked to talk. Just like this time, when the Queen Mother went to the temple to worship the Buddha, she brought Mu Qingyin, this honor, and the capital is also unique.
In addition to such a granddaughter, An's waist is naturally straight, and Dafang also expects to rely on this daughter to turn over. Therefore, it is no wonder that An and Dafang attach great importance to this eldest lady, and they send a copy of the good things to Mu Qingyin first. This time, when I heard that Mu Qingyin was going back to the house, I even put aside the matter of standing up for Mu Jun.
It's just that Mu Qingyin is coming back, Mu Qingwan doesn't know about it, and she is still thinking about the death of the nurse and the black hand behind it.
However, the next day, Mu Qingwan met the legendary big sister, and Mu Qingyin came to Hanxiangyuan in person.
"Miss, eldest Miss Mu Qingyin has returned home this morning."
Mu Qingwan started reading early in the morning, and Jixiang came in to say goodbye.
"Oh? Coming back? ”
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and it is not surprising that Mu Qingyin will come back at this time.
"Well, my subordinates didn't hold back and quietly went to the front to look. Don't you know, that battle is inevitably too big, Xiao An's took the mighty underground people to greet at the door of the Hou Mansion, and the other ladies in the mansion also arrived at the door to wait, remembering the scene when the door was closed when we returned to the house, the difference is too big, if you want to say that it was not a heart before, who can believe it? . ”
Jixiang's face was indignant, and Mu Qingwan looked at her with amusement and shook her head.
Although the skin of the face has not been torn apart, the attitude of Mu Erye and Mrs. Mu is very clear, and they are not willing to interact too much with other rooms, anyway, the second room is transferred out of the capital, and there are not a few people in the capital who know the inside story, and it is expected that they will not be able to set off any turmoil. An's family was originally a concubine, who else in the capital doesn't know about Anpinghou's foolish affairs? If the second room really goes to make friends with the other rooms, it will really have a bad reputation.
"Isn't that normal? What is there to complain about. ”
Mu Qingwan wished that the big house would not do superficial things, with the foreshadowing before, and what the second room did after that, others would not pick out the thorns.
In the afternoon, Mu Qingwan went to Mrs. Mu's side, and the mother and daughter were talking together, when they came in to report that the eldest lady Mu Qingyin came to visit.
"Please come to the living room."
Mu Qingyin came to the door, and Mrs. Mu was also a little strange, after all, none of the nieces before had come.
Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingwan took Mu Lan to the main hall to wait, and after a while, the painting fan led a young lady with the stars and the moon in.
Mu Qingwan is the first time to see this legendary eldest lady, Mu Qingyin is dressed in white, covered with tulle, this dress looks very simple, slender waist, light steps, fluttering clothes, holy as a fairy, and then look at Mu Qingyin's appearance, the appearance is considered to be a middle-class asset, although it will not make people amazing at a glance, but it makes people feel very comfortable, especially the pair of eyes that seem to see through the world, giving people a sense of tranquility. With such a temperament, it is no wonder that he can be favored by the Queen Mother.
When Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingwan looked at Mu Qingyin, she was also looking at each other quietly.
Mu Qingyin is one year older than Mu Chen, and when Mu Erye's family left the capital, Mu Qingyin already remembered what Mrs. Mu looked like. Mrs. Mu is obviously in her thirties now, but she looks like she is only in her twenties, and her temperament is even better than before, and the nobility and confidence exuded in her bones are not comparable to those of Xiao An's family.
After ten years of Biansai, it seems that she has not learned the demeanor of this second aunt, seeing Mrs. Mu's current appearance, and then thinking of her mother Xiao An, who is also in her thirties...... Mu Qingyin lowered her eyes and covered up the complexity in her eyes.
Look at the cousin I have never met, she is also ten years old. Although he is young, he has delicate facial features, and he stays quietly by Mrs. Mu's side, not as impetuous as an ordinary child of such a big age. The clothes on this cousin should be the latest style of Linlang Pavilion, it looks ordinary, but it is made of good materials, I heard that it costs fifty taels of silver, and at such a young age, she can usually wear such good clothes. Aunt Li returned the dowry to the second room, and I also heard about it, and the second room is not short of money now, right? Thinking about it, Xiao An's often wants to be greedy for ten taels of silver in the Mo Mansion, so he can't be happy, this bit of silver should be unworthy of the second room, right?
Look at the child eating pastries next to him, it should be the little cousin Mu Lan, the little boy is eating snacks, while looking at himself curiously, his eyes blinking smartly, how can such a child with aura be compared to his pampered lawless brother?
The more Mu Qingyin compared, the more sad she became, the day of the second room in the future would not be far away, but it was a pity that the people in the house were still immersed in a lofty posture, and the handkerchief in her hand was unconsciously clenched.
However, after all, Mu Qingyin is a person who has followed the Queen Mother for a long time, and although she was shocked in her heart, she did not show any on her face.
"Second aunt, I haven't seen you for many years, and you don't seem to have changed at all. My niece accompanied the Queen Mother to the temple to worship the Buddha a few days ago, but I only came to see it now, and my niece is here to pay you a loss. ”
The two sides looked at each other for only a moment, and after Mu Qingyin entered the main hall, she walked up to Mrs. Mu and made a salute.
Mu Qingyin's tone was natural and sincere, so that people couldn't find or feel anything wrong.
"Hurry up, in the blink of an eye, Qingyin is also this older, I still remember that you were just a little doll back then."
Mu Qingyin, a child, has a lot of thoughts, but she also has a long-term vision, she has already seen the first signs at a young age, and she didn't expect that it would be like this when she met again ten years later. Mrs. Mu also doubted that Uncle Mu and Xiao An's temperament, how could they give birth to such a woman? Mrs. Mu was also emotional.
"This is the seventh sister and the fourth brother, it's the first time they've met, my sister came to bring some meeting gifts this time, and I hope you don't dislike it."
"Qingwan (Ah Lan) has seen the big sister."
Mu Qingwan saluted Mu Qingyin respectfully, Mu Lan is very smart, and he also learns from him.
Mu Qingyin smiled and nodded, and took the two small boxes held by the maid, one for Mu Qingwan and the other for Mu Lan.
"Thank you, big sister."
Mu Qingwan and Mu Lan turned out to be in the box, but they did not open it back then.
Mu Qingyin's eyes flashed, looking at the rules of her cousin and cousin, she was taught very well, not at all like she came from the side.
If Mu Qingwan knew that Mu Qingyin thought so, she would probably be speechless. How bad is the side plug thought, how can it be mentioned that it is the simplicity of mushroom hair drinking blood? Actually, isn't it good everywhere?
