Chapter Twenty-Four: Mufu Ruan Zhen
Originally, she wanted to go to Mrs. Mu to find out the relationship between Mufu and King Yu, but when the time came, she had to go to the Mu family to find out the bottom of Miss Fangcai.
There were three tables of leaf cards in the garden water pavilion, and Mu Shi didn't play on the side to watch the princess of the county play, and when he saw Shen Ai coming, he beckoned to her.
"Ah, our beloved son has woken up." After the princess dropped a card, she reached out and touched her head
"What is Auntie playing?"
Shen Ai climbed into Mu's arms and looked at the cards on the table, it was the first time she saw the leaf cards, not made of paper, but made of bamboo into thin slices, all around which were smoothed and oiled, but would not cut hands, similar to poker and mahjong.
"I'll know when Miss Shen grows up." A lady on the side said with a smile
Because of Shen Ai's children's words, all the ladies laughed again and again, and after making trouble for a while, Shen Ai calmed down, looked at the young ladies chatting and kicking shuttlecocks in the water pavilion next door, and asked her mother quietly: "Mother, who is that sister?" ”
Mu Shi glanced up and said, "It's your cousin, the eldest daughter of your uncle." ”
Forehead? Cousin? Wu's daughter?
Shen Ai glanced at the cousin and asked, "Then why does she look different from the eldest aunt?" ”
"She was born to your uncle's concubine."
Oh..., I see! It seems that the uncle who works outside is also a romantic person.
The mother and daughter whispered, and no one bothered, so Shen Ai leaned into Mu's ear and asked, "Does my mother know about King Yu?" ”
Seeing that Mu Shi nodded, Shen Ai said again: "What is his relationship with his grandfather's family?" ”
Mu touched her head and said with a smile: "Your cousin is going to make him a concubine." ”
Well? This sentence is a bit informative.
It's his cousin who wants to be his concubine instead of King Yu who wants to take his cousin as a concubine, and there are still some things hidden here! Shen Ai pretended to be stupid and asked, "Is it the same as my aunt?" ”
"Of course not." Mu whispered in her ear
I wanted to ask again, but Mu pinched his little nose and bluffed: "Don't ask again." ”
She didn't know what to say if she asked again, this involved the ugliness of Mufu, how could she tell her baby daughter such a dirty thing.
Seeing that she didn't use her ass and slapped Mu Shi, Shen Ai pouted and nestled in her arms, but her eyes were rolling bonely.
About half an hour later, Mama Gui came over and said to Mu: "Second Miss, the old lady is waking up and looking for Little Miss." ”
Mu Shi smiled and put down Shen Ai, straightened her clothes, and said, "Go over by yourself." ”
Shen Ai wrinkled her little nose at her and said, "Got it." ”
Mama Gui looked at her fifties, how dare she let her hug her, and when she asked someone to hug her, she took the initiative to hug her.
Holding Mama Gui's hand to the main house, Mrs. Mu was grooming, and Shen Ai called sweetly when she entered the house: "Grandmother." ”
"Hey! My precious granddaughter, come to my grandmother's side. ”
Old Madam Mu smiled and turned her head to beckon to her, and asked the maid on the side to bring the snacks on the table.
Shen Ai sat obediently on the small embroidery stool next to her, eating snacks, waiting for the old lady to finish her makeup, and then asked, "Grandmother, I just saw someone before lunch." ”
"You're talking about King Yu?" Old Madam Mu wiped her sideburns in the bronze mirror, and felt that her hair was not oily enough and let the maid be on it.
Shen Ai didn't want to hide it, she couldn't hide it, just now she was followed by the maid and wife of Mufu, and Mrs. Mu naturally knew, but the mother-in-law only said that the king of honor but not the woman was the cousin of the cousin, what did she mean?
Now that the old lady has made it clear, Shen Ai said, "There is also a cousin." ”
Old Madam Mu turned her head and smiled, raised her hand and touched her head, and said to her, "Where can she be regarded as our beloved cousin." ”
As he spoke, he got up and instructed the maid on the side: "Let the kitchen make some digestible snacks." ”
Then he took Shen Ai, who had already finished eating snacks and wiping his hands, and said, "Let's go out and talk." ”
After playing with Mrs. Mu for a while, Shen Ai still heard something, it turned out that the relationship between Mufu was more complicated than she imagined, the cousin who came out was not surnamed Mu, but surnamed Ruan, called Ruan Zhen, Ruan Zhen's mother was the concubine of her uncle Mu Zhenlin, and listening to Mrs. Mu's words, it was summed up that this little concubine was the wife of Mu Zhenlin's friend before, and she entered Mufu with Ruan Zhen.
What is this called? Wife-snatching? And it's still a pick-up man, did the ancients play so big?
The banquet ended in the evening, the physical strength of children was not comparable to that of adults, Shen Ai was carried into the carriage by Shen Erye when he was asleep, and he woke up the next morning.
When I woke up, it was dawning, and after sitting on the bed for a while, Shen Ai got out of bed and got dressed, and Lingcui, who was keeping vigil outside, had just gotten up, and when she heard the voice, she buttoned up and gently pushed the door in, and saw that she had already cleaned up, and said with some surprise: "Why did Miss get up before dawn?" ”
Shen Ai glanced back at her and said, "I can't sleep." ”
Seeing that her young lady was dressed neatly without worrying at all, Lingcui had to compromise and said, "Then the young lady will wait a little longer, and the slave will go to serve water." ”
"Let people burn more, I want to bathe."
I fell asleep yesterday and didn't take a shower, although the weather wasn't too hot and I didn't sweat at night, Shen Ai still felt uncomfortable sticky on my body.
"Slaves and maids will come when they go."
After Lingcui finished speaking, she exited the door, and Shen Ai put on a white undershirt and returned to sit on the bed, with a small pink belly pocket underneath.
After a while, Lingcui led the two mothers-in-law to come in with the bath bucket, added hot water, and Shen Ai let Lingcui wait for the bath.
It wasn't until the water that was added twice became cold again that Shen Ai let Lingcui take it out, fortunately, the skin was not wrinkled, and as soon as he got dressed, Mu Shi and Shen Erye pushed the door in.
Seeing that the baby daughter with a red face was getting dressed, and the bath water had just been moved out, Shen Er Ye asked, "When did Ai'er wake up?" ”
Shen Ai thought about it and decided to let Lingcui say that she really didn't know how to look at this hour.
Lingcui received the meaning of her young lady and replied: "Old lady, young lady got up at the end of the hour." ”
Mu Shi took the handkerchief in Lingcui's hand, waved her hand to retreat, and personally took the handkerchief to wipe Shen Ai's head, and Shen Ai, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, closed her eyes in enjoyment.
The three of them chatted with each other, and when their hair was half dry, Mu Shi stopped and brought clothes for her to wear.
Shen Ai didn't go to the academy today, because she wanted to make a swing in her yard, so she sent Shen Erye and Zhengtai's little brother Mu away and asked her to find Zhang's by herself, and went back to the house to embroider Shen Erye's purse.
Shen Ai said to her in a laissez-faire attitude towards this kind of thing: Very good, this is the effect you want.
When he went, Zhang was talking to the housekeeper beside him, and Shen Ai waited for her to finish dealing with it before saying what she requested.
It's just to make a swing Zhang sent someone to remove the craftsmen in the house, and Shen Ai happily gave her a big one.
