Chapter 52: The Wei Mansion
A country, both civil and military, but above the court in the capital, it must be that the prestige of civil officials is higher than that of military attachΓ©s, and Chu has three major civil official families, Taifu Lin family, Taishi Wei family, Prime Minister Mu family, although Mu Tingzhi is the prime minister, but he is a generation shorter in front of Taishi and Taifu, Lin Taifu and Wei Taishi are both old men about seventy years old, assisted by three emperors, and the queen is the daughter of the Lin family, and the virtuous concubine is the daughter of the Wei family, whether it is seniority or background, the Mu family has to take three steps back.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the princes and dukes are walking everywhere, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is really nothing.
Therefore, this time I went to the Wei family to celebrate my birthday, and the old lady took the lead, and the eldest lady brought a few female dependents to the door politely, and she didn't dare to put it on the shelf at all, and only the old lady could earn some prestige for the prime minister's mansion, after all, the seniority was there.
Mu Lianxin had already been pointed out to the sixth prince, and the eldest lady didn't take her out, only Mu Ruolan and Mu Jiu followed, seeing Mu Jiu wearing a light purple soft smoke skirt, the eldest lady frowned, but in the end she didn't say anything, she was only responsible for bringing people over, and she didn't care about the rest.
The second lady took Mu Zhiwei and Mu Shiying, and the group was even together.
Mu Zhiwei didn't like Mu Jiu, but because there was a snake hidden in Mu Jiu's courtyard, she never went anymore, and now she walked outside together, she immediately couldn't help it, and walked in front of Mu Jiu in two steps, and her voice couldn't hide the schadenfreude: "I heard that you saw the Sixth Prince before Mu Lianxin, why didn't the Sixth Prince take a fancy to you?" And Guangwen Wangfu also quit the marriage, alas, you are so pitiful, it is estimated that it will be difficult to marry in the future, if I were you, I would just find a pillar to die. β
Mu Jiu stopped suddenly, and Mu Zhiwei was startled: "What are you doing?" β
She thought that Mu Jiu was going to beat someone.
Mu Jiu pointed to the pillar next to him: "You hurry up, I'll show you, I'll help you if you can't die." β
Mu Zhiwei: "Mu Jiu, are you insane?" β
Mu Jiu sneered, it was rare that she still knew about neurosis, and she thought she was mentally retarded.
The old lady walked in front with a cane, and many people greeted her along the way, as the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she could still hold up a few points in front of these people.
Mrs. Wei is also an old man who is almost seventy years old, accompanied by her three daughters-in-law to receive guests, her daughter is a virtuous concubine today, and her sons are also in important positions in the court.
The Lord of Xiang smiled sweetly when he asked for peace, and when he turned his head to face the Mu family, his gaze directly skipped over the others and fell on Mu Jiu.
Obviously, Mu Jiu had never offended her, but this Xiangjun Lord seemed to recognize her, and he had to wait for her to bite, and his eyes were clearly written with bad intentions, but she couldn't do anything in public, so she snorted and walked away.
After the lord of Xiangjun asked for peace, he left, and the eldest lady pulled Mu Ruolan: "Look at it carefully, you are the future princess, one day, you will step into such a place as the head of the house, at that time, you have no retreat." β
Although it is a banquet, it is not a contest, a confrontation and contest between noble ladies, and Mu Ruolan can only sit on the throne and enjoy the courtesy of everyone in this life.
Mu Zhiwei leaned close and heard clearly, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart again, hehe, she is the princess, the future princess, and it has nothing to do with her.
Mu Jiu took in Mu Zhiwei's expression and hooked his lips slightly, this ten million thoughts are really easy to guess.
Turning his gaze to the ladies and daughters who came to meet one by one, one by one, they were all in a dignified and decent smile, and they were tired of looking at them.
She doesn't like such an occasion, she doesn't know any of these people, the most important thing is that her status is too low, she can be stepped on wherever she goes, it's too ostentatious to do it, and she is bullied if she doesn't do it, she is very aggrieved, but she rarely follows the eldest lady without saying a word.
It's not that she's become well-behaved, it's just that she doesn't want to meet Lord Xiang, she's afraid that she can't help but do it and make trouble.
However, Mu Jiu couldn't hold back after staying for a while, so she slipped away by relieving herself, found a gazebo with no one in tow, and sat lazily on the railing to mix time, and she always felt that the eldest lady brought her a little deliberately, and before she could think about whether to sneak home first, the county lord of Xiang didn't know where to come from.
I don't know how she found this corner, and she walked over vigorously, which was not a good thing at first glance.
"Mu Jiu, can you let this county lord arrest you?" The county lord of Xiang grinded his teeth viciously: "You get up for me, don't you hurry up when you see the county lord?" β
Mu Jiu slowly sat up straight, looking at the arrogant Xiang County Lord in front of him, his fingertips moved slightly, to beat or not to beat?
"County Lord, I have never offended you, and I didn't do what happened last time, why did you hold on to me?" Mu Jiu felt that she was a reasonable person, how could she beat people casually? γ
Of course, the most important thing is that she thinks that the Lord of Xiang doesn't want to be very resistant to beating, and if she is beaten, it is not easy to deal with.
The county lord of Xiang, who didn't know that he had escaped the catastrophe, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Where did the county lord come from so much time to hold on to you?" When you see that the lord of this county does not salute, you are despising the lord of this county, and the title of the lord of this county is sealed by the saint himself, and you are despising the saint, and it is a big crime to kill your head if you violate the power of heaven. β
"Of course, the lord of this county is not such an unreasonable person, as long as you kowtow to me and admit your mistakes, and kneel until I am in a good mood, maybe I will not care about your sins."
Mu Jiu looked at the county lord of Xiang who had a benevolent tone in front of him, and wanted to laugh very much, she said that she would give it if she violated Tianwei's crime of killing his head, and if she said that she would be exempted, why didn't she go to heaven if she was so bullish?
Mu Jiu didn't bother to pay attention to the person who didn't go out with her brains, and turned around to leave, but the county lord of Xiang didn't let go: "You actually ignore me?" Come on, catch her, and see if I don't teach her a good lesson today. β
There were only four maids with the lord of Xiangjun, and the four maids responded and quickly surrounded Mu Jiu, and their hands and feet were very fast.
Seeing the four people rushing towards her, Mu Jiu was just about to make a move, when he suddenly shouted: "What are you doing?" β
The four maids were stunned, and Mu Jiu's raised hand gently brushed his sleeves, which came in time.
"Brother." The county lord of Xiang was taken aback by the roar just now, and when he turned around and saw that it was Xiahou Yu, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at him angrily: "What are you yelling at me for?" β
"You're messing around here, I can't yell at you yet?" Xiahou Yu glanced at Mu Jiu, who was standing opposite and seemed to be smiling, his heart tightened, his scalp was numb, and he pulled the county lord of Xiang: "You come over for me." β
"Brother......" The lord of Xiangjun was unwilling, but he couldn't stand Xiahou Yu's strength and was pulled away.
"Brother, you let go of me, what are you pulling me for? I haven't taught Mu Jiu that little slut a good lesson? β
Xiahou Yu looked at the courtyard from the distance, let go of the Xiangjun Lord, and sneered: "You teach her a lesson?" You'd better be careful yourself. β
Even her small body is not enough for the devil to beat her.
Lord Xiangjun rubbed his pinched hands, and hummed dissatisfiedly: "I think you are reluctant, she wants to be your concubine, I tell you, don't even think about it, I will never allow her to enter the gate of my palace." β
"Gotta take you." Xiahou Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly, he didn't want to mention Mu Jiu's bad thing, it was too embarrassing to say it, it is estimated that the lord of Xiang County will not believe it, maybe he will not give up even more, so he simply ignored her: "Okay, Ning Hua is here, why don't you go to her soon?" β
"Sister Ninghua?" Lord Xiang's eyes lit up, and he looked back at Mu Jiu's direction, unwilling, but this time it was a lesson that could not be learned, but next time she would definitely not let her go.
