Chapter VII: The Marquis of Anping
Xiao An stepped forward and hugged Jun'er. Ignoring Jun'er's struggles and punches and kicks, he covered his mouth tightly.
An Pinghou no longer paid attention to Xiao An's bitter drama and set his eyes on Mu Qingwan.
"Girl, that's good."
An Pinghou nodded appreciatively, and many of the granddaughters below looked at Mu Qingwan with hatred, you must know that An Pinghou has never been close to the children and grandchildren in the house, who knew that suddenly one day an outsider came, but it was affirmed.
Mu Qingwan received a wave of eye killing, and she felt that this grandfather's EQ was not too high, no wonder she was ...... back then Helpless, he could only silently hold Mu Lan and walk back to his original position in the jealousy of everyone.
"Second child, I will live in the house in the future."
"Yes, father. We have just returned to the capital, and there may be no preparations in the house, so we will live in our mother's Hanxiang Courtyard in the future. Mother's yard is big, and the second room is enough. ”
An Pinghou did not agree, nor did he deny it, bowed his head and pondered, considering Second Master Mu's plan. Mu Qingwan is very sensitive to other people's emotional changes, I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that An Pinghou is struggling and hesitating.
After half a ring, An Pinghou sighed.
"Well, after so many years, it's time to ...... After the second room, I will live in Hanxiangyuan. ”
"No way!"
After listening to An Pinghou's reply, An Shi, who was immersed in understanding An Pinghou's excitement, hurriedly objected.
"No, sir. Hanxiang Courtyard should be left to Qingyin. ”
"Who is Qingyin?"
An Pinghou answered the question, and the atmosphere was a little quiet. Mu Qingwan was also a little stunned, thinking that in fact, I also wanted to know who Qingyin was.
"Mu Qingyin is the eldest daughter of Dafang, and now she is following the Queen Mother to worship Buddha in the temple, and she should probably come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Mu Chen approached Mu Qingwan's ear at the right time and said in a low voice.
Mu Qingwan glanced at Mu Chen, what she meant in her eyes was, there was inside information, why didn't she tell me in advance? It's not interesting.
"Ahem, it's not too late! It was my father who just said it in the carriage, and I have investigated the situation in the Hou Mansion in advance, and I will tell you later. ”
Mu Qingwan's meaning, Mu Chen understood, touched his nose, and said to Mu Qingwan in a curtive manner.
"Hmph, I'll tell you when my sister goes back, and I know it too."
It was Mu Yan next to him who hummed lightly.
“……”
"Sister."
Mu Lan hugged Mu Qingwan tightly and brushed her sense of existence.
“……”
"Father, Qingyin is the eldest daughter of Dafang."
Uncle Mu was very embarrassed and explained to An Pinghou soberly.
"Oh, there are too many people to remember."
Your old man didn't go to his heart, Uncle Mu was bitter in his heart, his father has never cared about his family, like a person with a cold nature and no feelings, when did he put people in his heart.
"But she can't live in such a big yard alone, no!"
"However, Qingyin is preparing, preparing ......"
In front of the juniors, An Shi couldn't say anything later.
"No need to say any more, that's it."
An Pinghou made the final decision.
"Who's in charge of the house now?"
"Father, it's me, and my mother gives it to me as a housekeeper."
Xiao Anshi replied.
"Hanxiang hasn't been opened for a long time, there is a lack of east and west, and the things in the warehouse are used in the second room first, and if they are not enough, they will go out of the house to buy. I also remember that the food and clothing that have fallen over the years have to be made up. ”
"So much, father ......"
"Any questions?"
"No, no."
Xiao An's heart was anxious, but he didn't dare to refute, An's wanted to speak next to him but couldn't bear to speak.
"By the way, Fen, what about the dowry before the Li family, let's hand it over to the second room together."
"In Aunt Li's hands, the keys are also with her."
Hearing this, Xiao Anshi immediately became clever and blurted out.
"Lee? …… You go back and inform her, and say that the second child is back, and you don't need to help keep the things anymore, so return them as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, I'll let you know right away, and I'll let you know later."
Mu Qingwan couldn't understand why there was a sense of schadenfreude on Xiao An's face at this time, and even An's face had a sense of revenge.
Mu Qingwan looked sideways at Mu Chen and sent a signal again, "Who is Aunt Li?" ”
Mu Chen received it and whispered, "The old aunt of Anpinghou, the biological mother of the third room." ”
Conditioned reflex, Mu Qingwan's eyes looked at the people in the third room, and saw that Mu Sanye was playing with the birds in his hands, enjoying himself, and there was nothing unusual, on the other hand, Zhang's hand pulled the handkerchief in his hand fiercely, his head suddenly rose in disbelief, and his raised head turned pale, and then continued to lower his head.
There's something strange about it, and it's not small. The brain is running at a very fast speed, how can the dowry of the deceased wife be in the hands of the aunt? Judging from the reactions of the An family and the Xiao An family, the two of them have a lot of grievances with this Aunt Li, and it seems that this Aunt Li has an unusual status in the house. Mu Qingwan remembered that her brother Mu Chen once mentioned that her grandmother's surname was Li Lai, and this old aunt was also surnamed Li, what did it matter? Also, how could Mu Sanye look five points similar to his father? I thought it was strange just now.
Could it be that sisters marry together? In ancient times, there was nothing unusual about such a thing as enjoying the blessings of all people. Mu Qingwan's favor for An Pinghou suddenly decreased, or there was no high score in the first place, but the score was lower.
Looking at Mu Chen again, Mu Qingwan asked with her eyes.
This time, Mu Chen didn't reply, and gave Mu Qingwan a look of his own experience. The origin of this, I can't explain it clearly in one sentence or two, so I'll explain it slowly when I go back.
Okay, Mu Qingwan nodded.
"Okay, that's it, second, what do you think?"
"Listening to my father's arrangement, Aunt Li may forget things when she is old, I just have a list of my mother's dowry in my hand, go back and let Zhenniang check it, in case someone cheats."
Second Master Mu bowed down and replied, Mrs. Mu's real name is Wang Zhen, and Zhenniang is a general title.
"Well, okay. Boss, let's arrange for the juniors to meet each other. ”
"Uh, good."
Uncle Mu was in front of An Pinghou, and he seemed a little unable to let go.
Mu Chen took a few younger brothers and sisters to say hello to the uncle.
Mu Chen took Mu Qingwan and a few people to say hello to Uncle Mu, Xiao An's family, Mu Sanye and Zhang's family in turn. I just introduced it to An Pinghou, and now it's easy to get involved, a few people together.
When it was his turn to salute Mu Sanye, Mu Sanye sat up straight as if he was presentable, and then took out a few things from his arms, and gave them to Mu Chen and a few people as a meeting gift. The other elders didn't prepare anything, so they were embarrassed.
"Thank you, third uncle."
What was given to Mu Chen was an ancient book, and Mu Qingwan remembered that it was the posthumous work of a master whom Mu Chen had always wanted to find. What was given to Mu Yan was a box of warm jade chess pieces, looking at the fineness of the jade, it was the best Hetian jade. What Mu Qingwan got was a night pearl, most of the lights used for lighting in ancient times were without lights, and the smell of oil smoke was very strong, and this bead was good for night lighting. What Mu Lan got was a jade carving of a puppy, which was vivid.
