Chapter 267: The Imperial Gift
The Mu family waited anxiously for a day, and early in the morning of the second day, a eunuch suddenly came to the door to announce the decree.
The porter opened the door to ask for clarification, and saw five or six people standing behind the eunuch, so frightened that he couldn't even say a decent word, closed the door with a "bang", and reported to the second door as soon as he slipped through the smoke, and the eunuch who could see the decree wanted to laugh. He announced the holy decree of the elderly, and it was the first time for him to supervise the Mu family of the wine house, and he almost didn't find a place.
I didn't expect the man at the door to be so unruly, so he just left him out of the door and went in by himself?
If it weren't for the sake of Miss Mu, who cured the illness of the Thirteen Princes, he wouldn't have given them a good face.
The porter ran too fast, and before he could reach the second gate, the flat ground actually tripped him firmly. He fell and ate, got up, and didn't bother to pat the mud on his body, so he continued to run inside in a panic, and at the moon gate of the second gate, he opened his throat and shouted ghosts, "Quick, go and report the old lady and the old lady, just say that someone from the palace has passed the decree......"
The guards at the second gate were the two servant women who had only rushed back from Lijia Village yesterday, and when they heard this, their faces turned yellow with fright, and the two of them looked at each other, only to feel that a catastrophe was coming, and they ran into the inner courtyard in a panic.
The Mu Mansion is not big, but there are two entrances before and after, and two small cross-courtyards in the east and west. The big room lives in the east cross-courtyard, the second room lives in the west cross-courtyard, and the inverted seat at the door is for the coachman and the doorman.
The front side of the split out for the old man to make a study, there is also a flower hall for guests, the one in is the old lady with the servant girl to live, because there are many children in the second room, Mu Cailian and Mu Caisu's two granddaughters live in the wing.
A large family, crowded next to each other, if it weren't for the old lady these years, it would inevitably be ugly.
The porter shouted so loudly at the second gate that the family had already heard it, and they hurriedly ran out one after another, asking each other.
Two servants went separately to report the news, one servant woman entered the old lady's main room, Wang Lao Taijun was taking Mu Cailian and Mu Caisu's two granddaughters holding a bowl to drink porridge, when she saw the servant woman rushing in in a panic, she was so shocked that the bowl almost didn't fall, just about to scold, the servant woman was so frightened that her soul was not possessed, her tongue was knotted, and her words were not good.
"Old old man, old lady, in the palace, in the palace, someone is here."
"What? Someone from the palace? Yes, is it the one who becomes a king? "As soon as I heard that in the palace, the bowl in Mrs. Wang's hand could no longer be held, and it fell to the ground and fell into eight petals, making a clear crisp sound. Yes, are you here to raid the house? Mu Caisu's hand holding the rice bowl trembled like sifting chaff, his upper and lower teeth were fighting, and his eyes were red.
"It's all that ugly bastard, she must have said something about her relationship with our family." Mu Cailian trembled, unable to speak.
Mrs. Wang was so frightened by the two granddaughters that she couldn't stand up, "God, really, came to raid the house?" ”
The servant woman who came to deliver the message trembled like a leaf in the wind, and looked like a living dead.
The inner courtyard was already in a mess, but fortunately, the two masters of the Mu family could still hold on, and they came to the old lady's courtyard tremblingly, urging Wang Lao Taijun, "Mother, the father-in-law who delivered the decree is still waiting, you hurry up and dress up, and take your daughter-in-law to go out to receive the decree!" ”
Mrs. Wang looked at Master Mu and Second Master Mu in a trance, and sat in front of the makeup table surrounded by the girl's mother-in-law.
The eunuch who delivered the decree waited outside the gate for a pillar of incense, only to see Master Mu and Second Master Mu come out together, "I don't know if my father-in-law has passed the house, I have missed the welcome, and I hope that my father-in-law will forgive my sins!" ”
It was Gonggong Dai who came to deliver the decree by the emperor's side, and he could be regarded as having read all the princes and ministers, but the two brothers of the Mu family still felt that they were alive, and Su Rili was obviously not the master who often walked around the palace.
No wonder the people of this family can't act on the table in terms of etiquette, it turns out that the master is not the person on the name!
For the sake of Miss Mu and Commander Lu, he still raised the corners of his mouth and pulled away a smile, "You're welcome, are you all ready?" ”
The two brothers of the Mu family nodded hurriedly, "Please also ask your father-in-law to move to the flower hall to watch the tea!" ”
Father-in-law Dai nodded, and walked into the Mu Mansion with a figure of eight.
Mrs. Wang took a little girl's hand and went out at this time, and hurried to the flower hall in the front yard with her daughters-in-law Jiang and Zhang, who had been dressed up.
They were worried in their hearts, their steps were unsteady, and the flat ground was almost planted, and they finally staggered to the flower hall, and their legs and feet were as soft as mud, and they staggered to stand.
Mrs. Wang is an elder anyway, and she has eaten more salt than the Jiang family and the Zhang family, and when she saw Dai's father-in-law, she quickly said hello, "Old body, old body has seen father-in-law......
After saying this, she didn't know what to say. Since she married into the Mu family when she was young, she has not received the holy decree, and this is the first time. Besides, I don't know if it's the holy decree of the family, but her granddaughter's words have been circling in her mind at this time, and her old heart has been beating like a drum at this time.
Father-in-law Dai smiled contemptuously in his heart, but he still had to hold it on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Wang, "Ouch, old lady, you can torture our family, don't be polite!" ”
Facing the commander of the "cold-faced Langjun" brocade guard, Father-in-law Dai couldn't give this old lady a look.
The eldest master of the Mu family and the second master looked at each other, and their hearts were half relieved. Looking at this father-in-law's pleasant appearance, I don't think he came to raid the house?
Mrs. Wang was also a little dumbfounded, if she came to raid the house, this eunuch would not be able to ignore her with a straight face?
What's going on?
This family is not allowed to Dai Gonggong's pulse, and of course they don't dare to ask more, just stand like two fools.
Father-in-law Dai couldn't greet them, so he directly opened the Ming Huang Holy Decree that he had been holding in his hand, stood facing north and south, and watched the old and young of the Mu family kneel, and then he pulled the male duck's throat and read, "Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said: There is a girl from the Mu family, hanging the pot to help the world, the doctor is benevolent, saving the thirteen princes, doing his best, and he is specially named a noble girl, Qin this!" ”
After the holy decree was recited, Mrs. Wang and her two sons looked at each other: It turned out that it was not a raid? It scared the hell out of them.
It's just that the girl of the Mu family who said above is hanging the pot to help the world, is it wrong? Their family is a scholarly family, how could there be a girl who hangs the pot to help the world?
When Gonggong Dai saw that he had finished reciting the holy decree, none of the Mu family had any anger, and he couldn't help but be angry, he was here to pass on the decree, did he still have to teach the rules?
Anyway, he is also a scholar, why does he even have to be taught "Shane"? What a bunch of people who have never seen the world.
He snorted coldly, his expression quite displeased, "Old lady, lords, thank you?" ”
This was clear enough, but the Mu family didn't understand. I saw that Mrs. Wang blinked her cloudy old eyes, looked at Father-in-law Dai, and asked puzzledly, "Dare to ask Father-in-law, is this holy decree wrong?" Mu family, how can there be a girl who hangs a pot to help the world? ”
Speaking of it, it really makes people laugh out of their big teeth!
How can a girl from a good reading family hang a pot to help the world? This must be those vulgar people who have taken the name of their family.
Father-in-law Dai looked at this family in disbelief, and was really speechless: he, a person who has passed on the old will, will pass on the wrong holy decree?
Before coming, he specially asked the officials of Shuntian Mansion, and found out in advance, so he came to their house to pass on the decree, how could it be wrong?
This old lady doesn't know anything!
"I heard that this Mu girl is weak and has lived in the countryside all these years, and she won't go home after a long time, and the family has forgotten her, right?" He also followed the emperor and listened to what Lu Ying said.
It's just that when this son mentions this stubble, he will not be ashamed of the Mu family.
That ugly monster has always had nothing to do with their Mu family, if they hadn't used her as a substitute for marriage this time, how could they allow her to come to this mansion?
As soon as Father-in-law Dai mentioned this, the people of the Mu family understood who this person who had come to help the world with a pot was who he was.
It turned out to be Mu Caiwei!
She has been living in the countryside for so many years, is it because she has learned to treat people in the past few years?
The deep disgust in Mrs. Wang's heart came out one by one.
Their family has been studying for generations, and they will never let the girl learn these kitsch obscenities. When the second child had to marry Li, she strongly opposed it.
That's the daughter of the imperial doctor's family, although the official position of the old lady Li is not low, but the father is a imperial doctor, but that girl also understands medical skills, usually walks around the mansions, and treats those ladies and ladies of the family, after all, she broke the rules and seduced a eunuch, so that their family also followed, not to mention, and ruined their reputation.
Now, the slut's daughter has also learned medical skills, and she has also entered the palace to cure the thirteen princes.
Although the emperor is very happy and glorious, but in the end, the reputation of the Mu family is not good, if this spreads, in the future, there will be such prodigal children to find her to see a doctor, where will their Mu family's face go?
Mrs. Wang's mind flipped, her face was a little unhappy, and she thought to herself how this holy decree came to the Mu family, could it be that the slut's daughter said it?
The two brothers of the Mu family don't know what to feel in their hearts, this daughter may bring disaster to the family in the future, if they receive the holy decree, they have to recognize their daughter, what should they do if they affect the family at that time?
Everyone had different thoughts, and they didn't know for a while that there was a word of thanking the emperor.
Father-in-law Dai was impatient, and when he saw that the family was really not on the road, he had to snort with a cold face, "What? Do you want to resist the decree? ”
He was originally a male duck with a throat, and such a hum scared Mrs. Wang's bones and muscles were so weak that he almost collapsed on the ground.
The two brothers of the Mu family also reacted, and hurriedly dragged Wang Lao Taijun to kowtow and thank him, and took the holy decree over.
Master Mu Dongru only felt that he was holding a hot potato in his hand, and he didn't dare to throw it, so he had to be careful, not to mention how awkward he felt in his heart.
Seeing that the two brothers were not reasonable, Dai Gonggong couldn't help but smile in his heart, cleared his throat and said, "There is still a reward from the saint, please come and check it!" ”
"What, and a reward?" As soon as he heard that the emperor had rewarded him, the eyes of Mrs. Wang and his two daughters-in-law lit up, took a few steps forward, and stretched their necks to look at the lacquer box that Dai's father-in-law had ordered to be brought over.
Father-in-law Dai opened them one by one, and read the list in his hand, "Nanzhu has a face!" ”
"Ahh Zhang let out a short scream, and was glared back by Mu Dongsheng, the second master of Mu.
"A pair of tourmaline bracelets!"
"Oh my God!" Jiang couldn't help it, and let out a low exhalation, Mu Dongru looked at Dai's father-in-law, who seemed to be smiling, and his face was hot.
"A pair of amethyst bracelets!"
"Yikes!" This time, even Mrs. Wang couldn't help it, and then screamed.
God, this is a good thing that the ancestors of the Mu family have never seen for three generations, and any one of them is worth a thousand gold!
Mrs. Wang smacked her shriveled lips, stared at a pair of cloudy old eyes, and stared at the open lacquer boxes one by one without blinking.
Jiang's heart was beating wildly: it just so happened that her daughter was old, she didn't have any jewelry that she could handle, and when she went out, she was compared to other ladies.
Zhang's family was also secretly happy: how can you say that Mu Caiwei is also a girl in the second room, and these things will not be all in the second room at that time? When the Sun family marries Cai Wei back, these things can be given to the two daughters to marry.
The three women were calculating one by one, and the scene on their faces could not bear to see.
Grandpa Dai read the same thing, quietly taking in the expressions of the three women.
Mu Dongru and Mu Dongsheng brothers can barely hold on, in the end, they are men, and they don't feel as strongly about these jewelry as women, but they are also dazzled by the dazzling brilliance.
Father-in-law Dai closed the gift list, and slowly covered the lacquer boxes one by one, and then turned to look at the Mu family brothers, "Have you all seen clearly?" There are a total of ten kinds of gold bead jewelry, all of which are gifts from the emperor, and they are the dowry given by the saint to Miss Mu. ”
He said in a weird way, and by the way, he knocked a few greedy women of the Mu family, and it would be good to ask Lu Ying for favor in the future, right?
Mrs. Wang was also clever at this time, and she was busy smiling, "Father-in-law, don't worry, this is all the granddaughter of the old body, who dares to move a little bit from the old body?" ”
"That's good!" Grandpa Dai smiled, waved his hand and turned around and left.
The two brothers of the Mu family hurriedly followed him out.
Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something at this time, and shouted after her, "Father-in-law, is the old granddaughter in the palace now?" ”
Father-in-law Dai smiled secretly: This grandmother just remembered where her granddaughter was?
However, he still stayed kindly, and turned around to tell Mrs. Wang, "Miss Mu has left the palace and returned to the commanding embassy." ”
"Commanding the Embassy?" The two brothers, Mu Dongru and Mu Dongsheng, were taken aback, how many commanders can there be in this Beijing?
"Could it be that the commander of the Jinyi Guard is also sick?"
"Hehe, that's not true!" Seeing that the two brothers looked ignorant, Father-in-law Dai deliberately sold a pass, "But the two masters just wait for the happy event to come." ”
Leaving this sentence, Father-in-law Dai took the horse stone at the gate, turned over on the horse, and took a few little fathers-in-law away.
The two masters of the Mu family stood at the gate, looking at the blurred figure blankly, puzzled, what other happy events were coming to their family?
