Chapter 10: The Legendary Aunt Li
Aunt Ma is the daughter of a down-and-out official, but she is already a half-old, and she is also old, so she can't compare to Xiao An's scenery, nor can she compare to the young and beautiful aunt later.
Mu Qingrou also went to Aunt Zheng's residence and talked in detail about what happened today.
"Mother, do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing for this second uncle to come back?"
Mu Qingrou leaned on Aunt Zheng's arms and spoke softly and glutinously.
"Stinky girl, if you want to call your aunt, how many times have you said it, if you let others hear it, you may cause some trouble."
Aunt Zheng tapped Mu Qingrou's forehead with her fingers and said pretending to be angry. Aunt Zheng is well-maintained, her skin is delicate, her eyebrows are affectionate, and she speaks softly, and a man will be half crisp when he sees it.
"Hehe, auntie, I just want to be called, I'm just your mother."
"You girl. This matter is also a good thing, Wang Zhen is not easy to think with, and the eldest lady will have a headache in the future. ”
"By the way, auntie, the Mu Qingwan I saw today seems to have seen it before, when she went to Jiangnan Qingyun Academy to take the women's exam."
"Oh? It's true? Can you see clearly? ”
"See, it should be her. It's a pity that I was in too much of a hurry at the time, and I didn't know the final result of the exam, and I didn't know what happened to her in the end. ”
"Rou'er can make friends with the second room in the future, the second room...... By the way, in a few days it will be the assessment of Yide Academy, Rou'er will take the lead, and my aunt will give you a few new pieces of jewelry in a few days. ”
"My aunt is so good to Rou'er, but Rou'er is worried about the third sister, will the third sister be unhappy."
"What are you afraid of, Rou'er participates in the girls' school, and the master agrees, and my Rou'er is not worse than others in terms of talent and appearance. It's a pity that the aunt is not angry, and Rou'er is only a concubine, and she always has to look at other people's faces. Fortunately, my Rou'er is angry, and Yide College is admitted by itself. ”
Listening to Aunt Zheng's words, Mu Qingrou's eyes also flashed gloom.
"Auntie, do you think you can do it? Grandmother turned out to be a concubine, right? ”
"Don't say it, the wall has ears."
Aunt Zheng immediately covered Mu Qingrou's mouth with her hand.
……
On the side of the second room, Zhang took the two concubines back to the courtyard of the second room, and immediately sent the two concubines away.
Zhang locked himself in his room and ordered his subordinates to go out.
"It's back, it's all back, retribution is coming."
Zhang's face turned pale and he was talking to himself, a little crazy.
"Hehe, hehe, why, why did you come back, ah!"
Zhang waved his hand and swept the teacups on the coffee table next to him to the ground. The texture of the teacup is ordinary, and even the house where the Zhang family lives looks a little shabby in this Anping Marquis Mansion.
"Why torture me, I'm so bitter, so bitter."
Zhang hugged his head and cried, not knowing what Zhang was talking about.
After half a ring, Zhang got up and washed his face, and re-smeared grease powder on his face, which was of inferior quality.
"Come on, clean up the house."
Feeling that he could no longer see anything unusual, he ordered the maid to clean the house, and hurried out of the yard himself.
"What kind of person, who is it to show it to all day? The poor ghost who picks the door is really difficult to serve. ”
The little girl who came into the house to clean muttered.
Besides, when the Zhang family went out of the courtyard, he quietly went to a Buddhist hall in the Anping Hou Mansion, told the mother-in-law who was guarding the door, and entered the door.
"Auntie, I'm here."
Kneeling on the futon with her back to Zhang, was an old woman in coarse linen clothes, the old lady turned the Buddha beads in her hand in front of the Buddha statue, and chanted words in her mouth. This person is the legendary Aunt Li.
"Auntie, my father is out of the yard today."
Zhang's words successfully stopped the old woman's movements.
"Mu Zikun came back from Pingcheng and lived in Hanxiangyuan."
The Buddhist beads in the old lady's hand were grasped, and disbelief flashed in her eyes.
"Father asked you to return the Li family's dowry, and Xiao An's should come to inform you soon."
"Second Master Mu now has both children and daughters, and what about his three sons."
The more Zhang spoke, the more energetic he became, and his tone was strange.
"I see, you can go back."
The old lady finally spoke up, light and unwavering, as if Zhang's words had not affected her.
"Auntie have a good rest, and daughter-in-law will go back first."
When the goal was achieved, Zhang's did not stay anymore and left.
There was silence in the Buddhist hall for a while, and Aunt Li finally put down the Buddhist beads in her hand, stood up from the futon, and entered the inner room.
The interior room is full of fireworks, which is very contrary to the solemn atmosphere of the Buddhist hall.
Aunt Li took down a small box from the bedside, which was full of bottles and cans, and found a key at the bottom.
Looking at the key with a blank face, Aunt Li laughed softly and softly.
"Hehe, sister, your son is back, are you happy? Hehe, it is said that both children are complete, my good sister, do you see it? ”
"Hehe, you can't see it, because you're dead, dead! Do you think that if you die, you don't have to pay back what you owe me? Hehe, just let your son pay it for you, and your grandson, think you'll be fine if you bury it in the ground? Ha ha. ”
Aunt Li's face changed suddenly, and she muttered in a mocking tone.
……
"So, this Aunt Li is really a sister to her grandmother?"
In Mu Qingwan's courtyard, Mu Chen was telling Aunt Li to several younger brothers and sisters.
"Well, but Aunt Li is a concubine, and grandmother is a concubine. Three years after my grandmother married into the Anping Marquis Mansion, Aunt Li entered the mansion, but the specific reason is not known. ”
Mu Qingwan was speechless, no matter who was right or wrong, she always had a bad impression of Anpinghou, although Anpinghou was biased towards Mu Erye just now.
"Women are trouble."
Mu Yan pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
"What's the trouble?"
Mu Lan was ignorant, but he still interjected, probably thinking that in this way, his brothers and sisters would not be left behind.
"Ah Lan, remember, except for my father, mother, and brothers and sisters in this house, no one else should believe it, and you can't talk nonsense, you know?"
Mu Qingwan didn't think that Mu Lan avoided him for anything at a young age, and he couldn't let his younger brother develop an innocent temperament, although some seedlings were promoted, but after all, this era was not the same as he imagined, and the most important thing was that Mu Lan was actually very clever at a young age, and inherited the black belly of the Mu family.
"I see, sister."
Mu Lan nodded heavily, and he would definitely do what his sister ordered.
"What's the deal with my grandmother's dowry? And this Hanxiang Garden? I always feel that my grandmother is not an ordinary person, so who is she? ”
Mu Qingwan looked at Mu Chen and asked, my brother Mu Chen is still quite gossip about some gossip.
"Hey, my grandmother is a member of the Li family, a former imperial businessman, but unfortunately the Li family only has two daughters, grandmother and Aunt Li, and no son, and the Li family is unwilling to inherit from the side, when my grandmother got married, most of the Li family's wealth was taken away by my grandmother."
"My grandmother's father had a lifelong friendship with my grandfather, and my grandfather and grandmother were childhood sweethearts, so even though the door was not right, they still became relatives."
"As for the dowry, my father left Beijing too hastily, and my grandmother's dowry was left in the Anping Marquis Mansion, and then I don't know why it came to Aunt Li's hands."
"Some old things have been too long, and there is no way to find the truth, but this Aunt Li will be on guard in the future."
"yes, got it."
