Mrs. Mu sighed: "Since your father-in-law died, the Jin family and our family have not interacted for several years; We thought that maybe the rest of the Jin family looked down on us businessmen, so we stayed away from them, and we couldn't communicate with them for a few years. But I didn't expect that one day they would come to our house to propose. ”

"We also have no way, we are the home of merchants. I heard the old people say that our Mu family used to be a scholarly family, but the family finally became a businessman; However, I heard that in the previous dynasty, I married their Jin family, but who can take it seriously? ”

"The Shangjia family is to keep promises, which is also the ancestral teaching left by the ancestors of the Mu family. Your father was helpless to agree to this family affair back then, and their Jin family also promised to treat you well. Just didn't expect ...... today."

Shuyuan smiled: "Don't always mention it in the past." As for the matter of having another room, the old lady has not made up her mind now, and I have said that I will not agree. Father and mother, don't worry anymore, I think the old lady will definitely be able to guess your thoughts, and it won't be difficult for us to think about it. ”

"The old lady is still a very sensible person." After she finished speaking, she called Yulu to add tea, but she didn't want Yulu to be called aside by Mrs. Mu to speak: Yulu is Shuyuan's dowry girl, and she is one of Shuyuan's top confidants in the Jin Mansion.

However, she didn't know why Shuyuan fainted that day, because she was separated by Shuyuan: Shuyuan had already asked, but she knew that her mother would definitely not let go if she didn't ask in person, so she didn't open her mouth and let her mother go.

Shuyuan's sentence "Old lady, they must be able to guess your thoughts" is really not wrong.

In the old lady's house, the three concubines of the Zhao family were all there, and the person they were all looking at was Jin Chengye.

"So, your father-in-law didn't ask you much of anything?" The old lady sighed lightly, looked at the Zhao family and said, "I see, your in-laws don't believe it at all." We don't blame them, if it were us, we wouldn't believe it, not to mention that your in-laws are a shrewd person. ”

Zhao nodded: "They already have the meaning of asking for guilt in their words, old lady, you see-" She really didn't have the slightest idea about the matter, and stared at the old lady tightly with a pair of eyes.

To be honest, she doesn't like her in-laws; However, she liked what her in-laws gave her: those good teas were silver—if it weren't for the blessings of her in-laws, how could she have eaten such good tea, and how could she be decent in front of her relatives.

It's just the in-laws who don't like it, although the words seem to be very polite, but the bones in it really make her back hurt.

The old lady looked at her, "What do you mean?" In the end, we are also responsible for this matter, when you took your master's handwritten letter to Mu Mansion, do you remember what you promised the Mu family? At this time, they didn't turn their faces on the spot, and it was still for the sake of the old man who went there early. ”

"We married Shuyuan, and at that time we were forced to repay Entu, and now we can still force people to nod their heads, where will the face of our Jin family ancestor go? Although my eldest son is a little deviant, you know his character very well, and I am afraid that he will not agree when the time comes. ”

The old lady looked at Wang: "This matter, I have to ...... again"

Wang shook his head: "Old lady, we heard the words of the old man and the lady of the Mu family just now, and we did what we wanted to others in a hurry; Let this matter be stopped. I just don't agree to the adoption, what else can they do to me? ”

The old lady sighed deeply when she heard this, it is true that she just disagrees with the words of the successor, and no one can do anything to her; But her second son has died in battle, and if Wang's knees have no children to succeed, the incense in Wang's house will be broken.

How could the old lady let the second son's house be cut off? But Wang is determined that her husband is still alive, and even if you want to talk to her, there is no way to say it clearly.

Therefore, she can only make decisions for the Wang family, and plan the incense behind her for the second son who walked in front of her.

"Although the Mu family is a family of merchants, their ancestors are also scholars, and they still have some connections with our Jin family; Therefore, the people of their Mu family are reasonable, otherwise how would they agree to marry their daughter just because of you back then? The old lady glanced at the Zhao family again, and she was very dissatisfied with the trace of disgust that Zhao family had when he mentioned the Mu family.

Therefore, the master of the Mu family is still reasonable now. Otherwise, they wouldn't have said anything about agreeing on behalf of their daughter just now. I know that this sentence is not true, but it also shows that they have thought of the imperial court, so there is still room for negotiation in this matter. ”

She looked at Wang: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own ideas." If there is something to do, let's talk about it if there is nothing. She sighed at this, for everyone in the room knew that there was no other way to think about it.

Jin Chengye looked up at the old lady: "Grandson thinks, it's better to pass Ruiren over ......"

"What did you say!" The old lady's eyes widened, and a hand stretched out to point at Jin Chengye trembling: "You say it again?" ”

Sun was startled, Wang was also startled, and the two hurriedly spoke: "Chengye, don't you admit your mistake to the old lady?!" ”

Zhao's face was cloudy: "Chengye, you really said what you said." Chengye, he can only be a concubine, and if he ......, how can he inherit incense for a house? ”

Jin Chengye knelt down: "The old lady is angry, it's her grandson's fault, it's her grandson's fault." He slapped himself twice: "The grandson shouldn't mention it, the grandson is really confused." ”

The old lady took a long breath, and the purple red of her face did not dissipate as her breathing became more steady, and it was obvious that she was still extremely annoyed.

"Shuyuan's parents are here, so they have to say hello. Everyone, you go to the kitchen to see it yourself, let them all cheer up, and don't neglect your in-laws. The old lady ignored Jin Chengye and sent Zhao out directly.

Zhao looked at Jin Chengye's debt: "Yes, old lady." "It's not the first time that the people of the Mu family have come, why don't you see people who think so highly of the Mu family before? Speaking of which, if the old lady treats her in-laws well, it is also the people of the Lou family who have the blue eyes of the old lady.

The Lou family is also a scholarly family, and it is really much more expensive than the Mu family. What makes Zhao feel most uncomfortable is that her maiden family is not as good as Wang and Sun, and she can't compare to Sun if she marries a daughter-in-law.

However, now that the old lady looks at the Mu family, she feels a little more comfortable, and she feels that she has a little more face in front of the old lady.

The old lady looked at Wang: "You should go and see the kneading noodles." Then go over and invite your in-laws to come and sit down, and you should have a banquet in a while. ”

Wang didn't say much, nodded and turned to leave.

Sun stood up: "I'll go with my second sister-in-law." The Mu family also came from afar, and my second sister-in-law and I should also have some hearts. Today, the old lady is the east, and I will arrange it with my second sister-in-law tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Wang Shi stopped and waited for Sun, and turned his head again when he went out: "Old lady, we have come to our in-laws' house here, and Nanfu has ...... over there" She paused slightly: "Let's send someone to invite first." ”

The old lady nodded: "Nanfu has good ears, send a steady person." You two, talk to your in-laws. "She mentioned something about Nanfu, even if they don't come tonight, Ming'er is afraid that they will not be missing.

Only Kim Seung-ye and the old lady were left in the house.

"Do you really think I've forgotten those two kids?" The old lady sighed: "They are the flesh and blood of our Jin family, how can I not love them?" But—" She shook her head and raised her hand, "I haven't forgotten that I have great-grandchildren. Chengye, you go, I'm tired. ”

The old lady's sigh hit Jin Chengye's heart hard, making him regret mentioning Ruiren very much; Looking up at the old lady who seemed to be extremely tired, he kowtowed: "Old lady, grandson just wants to ......, it is grandson who is wrong, grandson knows that the old lady has those two children in her heart." ”

"Go ahead. Your father-in-law and they will come in a while, I want to take a break. The old lady didn't want to say any more, and when Jin Chengye stepped out of the door: "You, how long has it been since you saw those two children?" ”

Jin Chengye's body trembled, he was silent for a long time and did not speak, and left after bowing to the old lady: yes, how long has it been since he saw those two children?

At this time, Shuyuan was crying and laughing and couldn't look at the things her mother took out: "I'm too old to play with these; The child has not yet been born, and he will have to wait for a few months, and he really has to play with these things for a few years to be completed, right? ”

"It's not for you, it's not for my grandson." Mrs. Mu looked up in some surprise, then looked at Shuyuan after thinking about it: "You don't know, there are two children?" Chengye didn't tell you?! Oh my God, Kim ......"

When she said this, she suddenly turned her head to look at Master Mu, dropped the unfinished words and said loudly to Master Mu: "I thought of a good idea." ”

"Impossible." Master Mu didn't look back, he still stood by the window and looked at the courtyard: "If they are willing to do that, why mention anything?" Those two children are not very glorious, and the second master is a hero of the imperial court, the people of the Jin family don't want to humiliate him, right? ”

Mrs. Mu pouted: "Disgraceful? Hey, it's not disgraceful to ...... the child" At this point, she sighed again: "This matter is so troublesome, if you really leave the child outside, then the Jin family is not a thing." ”

Shuyuan looked at her mother: "What child?" Her face was a little pale, which startled Mrs. Mu and hurriedly pulled her over.

"It's not a big deal, you sit down and listen to your mother talk slowly." Mrs. Mu's resentment towards the Jin family is heavy again: "You already have two children in name, although they are concubines, but in order to cover up the ugliness, they are all recorded in your name as concubines." ”
