Looking at the slightly vicissitudes of life on the plaque, Mu Wan sighed a little: The original ancestor is also prominent, but now, just because he is old, he can't find a good family, so he can only fill the house for people, eighteen years old! In modern times, it is the age of flowers.

The big butler smiled and greeted everyone towards the main hall, Mu Wan looked at the restless parents and the younger brother who was scratching their ears and cheeks, they suddenly became happy when they saw her, and showed unbelievable surprise when they saw Xiao Wenyu was also there; The twelve-year-old brother Mu Qing sat on the right side, and when he saw him, he immediately stood up and shouted happily: "Sister, I miss you so much!" Do you think I am? Then he saluted Xiao Wenyu in a regular manner: "Hello brother-in-law!" ”

Mu Wan knew in her heart that the relationship of this family was very good. People treat me with true feelings, I treat people with true feelings, and I use the identity of the original owner, so I have to bear her responsibility. Thinking of this, Mu Wan saluted and showed a bright smile: "Daughter to see my mother, brother, I miss you too." Xiao Wenyu also saluted beside him: "The little son-in-law meets his father-in-law and mother-in-law, my brother is good." ”

Father Mu kept nodding his head and saying yes, but he couldn't say a word for the rest, Mother Mu glanced at Father Mu, and Father Mu immediately stopped his mouth and pulled Mu Wan to speak. Mu Mucai smiled and said to Xiao Wenyu: "The virtuous son-in-law uses tea." "Thank you mother-in-law, my mother-in-law just calls me Wenyu." Xiao Wenyu drank tea and watched Mu Wan talk to his father-in-law.

Mu Mu looked at her son-in-law who was drinking tea quietly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard my master say that Dali Temple has been very busy recently, and the emperor is urging him to hurry, and we are all ready Wen Yu can't come." Does Wen Yu's coming now have any impact on your business? Mu Wan heard her mother's question, and also looked at Xiao Wenyu, she knew that Xiao Wenyu was very busy, but she didn't ask, and she didn't know. Xiao Wenyu put down the teacup, glanced at Mu Wan and said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I've arranged everything, and it is right to accompany Wan'er back to the door." ”

Mu Mu nodded: "That's good!" Then he glanced at Father Mu, who instantly understood, turned his head to Xiao Wenyu and said, "Son-in-law, you also know that I am a rough man, but my son is preparing to take the imperial examination, I have no choice, please help him take a look." Xiao Wenyu looked at Mu Qing: "No problem." What books has Brother Qing been reading lately? Mu Qing also understood what his mother meant, and hurriedly said to Xiao Wenyu: "Brother-in-law, I have been reading an article about strategy recently, and I have written one myself, and I have to trouble my brother-in-law to go to the study to help me read it." Xiao Wenyu also knew that Mu Wan's mother and daughter had something to say, so he nodded along the way.

After they were all gone, Mu Mu pulled Mu Wan back to her former boudoir and asked distressedly, "Wan'er, how does the Xiao family treat you?" Alas, I really wronged you, it's all your father's fault, if it weren't for his lack of ability, you wouldn't be disgusted because of filial piety. In the end, you can only marry Xiao Wenyu, otherwise you can only be a concubine. Although he is said to have good ability and is trusted by the emperor, after all, he is filling the house, and there are two concubines in the house, and I heard that he does not get along well with his original partner, and I don't know how he behaves in private? I don't like to take the initiative to talk today, how are you communicating? ”

Looking at Mu Mu's slightly red eyes, Mu Wan knew that Mu Mu must have been worried all the time these days, but unfortunately she didn't know that the real Mu Wan was gone, and she would better fulfill these obligations in the future: "Mother, you don't have to worry, my daughter is doing well, my mother-in-law let me take care of the house the day after I got married, and she didn't embarrass me." Xiao Wenyu is very busy with business these days, and he is not at home during the day, but he will accompany me to eat in the morning and evening. ”

When Mu Mu heard this, her expression relaxed slightly: "That's good, Wan'er, you have said since you were a child that your father is only your mother alone, and there are no other concubines, and your mother has always hoped that you can meet such a husband, but now that this is the case, you should not be dissatisfied with one of his concubines and two concubines, just be invisible, don't stiffen the relationship with him, of course, if he dares to bully you, you will come back, your father and I only have a daughter like you, and Qing'er will not ignore you."

"Mother, don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Mu Wan gently shook her mother's hand, "It's not early, let's go eat, I'm hungry." I miss my family food! ”

Hearing this, Mu Mu hurriedly took Mu Wan to the dining room, and asked her subordinates to call the men to eat by the way. When Mu Father came back from the study, Mu Wan obviously felt that they were a lot closer, and after a meal, even Mu Mu was a lot more relieved, and glanced at Xiao Wenyu slightly, knowing that this was his credit, Mu Wan made a note of this love in her heart.

Since returning to the door, Mu Wan has often been in contact with her mother's family, and there has been less politeness between her and Xiao Wenyu, especially when she received a letter from her mother's family saying that Mu Qing entered the Guozijian school under Xiao Wenyu's recommendation, and has made great progress, and plans to wait for two years for him to try. He also said that recently, because the emperor wants to strictly investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, things are getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and Xiao Wenyu is under more pressure as the secretary of Dali Temple, you have to be more considerate and considerate, don't play a petty temper and so on.

Mu Wan then remembered that since Mu Wan woke up, Xiao Wenyu has been very busy, leaving early and returning late, if it weren't for Mu Wan's heart and not caring about this person, it is estimated that there would have been a conflict long ago, and even her mother-in-law mentioned it several times, saying that Xiao Wenyu did not have opinions about herself, but was too busy with business. It turned out to be to investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which has been a major event since ancient times, and it is a matter that cannot be broken, which is a thankless task!

In this case, the housekeeper's business is going to be a snack himself, and you don't see that many officials have been pulled off the horse because of a fire in the backyard, and some things should be advanced. Thinking of this, Mu Wan summoned the egret and the red luan, the egret is clever, and the red luan is steady, which just complements each other.

"How's it going?" Mu Wan was lying on the chaise longue with a lazy look. Bai Lu immediately said: "Madame, don't worry, Sister Hongluan and I are ready to start at any time." The things I checked were all from Sister Hongluan. Mu Wan nodded, and when she saw Hongluan's hesitation, she said, "Hongluan, do you still have any questions?" ”

"Ma'am, it's a bit of a big deal. The old lady's side? Hongluan took out a stack of papers and handed it to Mu Wan.

"It's okay, I'll talk about it later at lunch." After speaking, Mu Wan rewarded the two of them with a pearl hairpin each, and let them go down. Mu Wan flipped through the paper on her hand, and laughed while looking at it, these people are really bold enough!

During lunch, Mu Wan mentioned it to her mother-in-law, Xiao's mother's face changed instantly, and finally sighed: "Daughter-in-law, just do it, Wen Yu doesn't care about the backyard at all, I'm old, and I can't do many things, I'm relieved to have you." ”

"It's good for the mother-in-law to lend Grandma Sun to her daughter-in-law, and there are many things that Grandma Sun needs to help with." Mu Wan smiled.

Xiao's mother understood what Mu Wan meant, she just wanted to reassure herself and ensure that she wouldn't mess around, thinking of this, Xiao's mother was even more satisfied, and nodded: "Then Grandma Sun will follow you," turned her head and said to Grandma Sun: "You look at it, help Wan'er support her, and let them know that Wan'er is the mistress of my Xiao Mansion!" ”

It was decided, Mu Wan went to the hall with Grandma Sun, and asked Hongluan to inform the housekeeper and bring the housekeeper over with the account book. In the quiet hall, Mu Wan flipped through the account books at will and did not speak. The stewards had different expressions, except for a few words when Mrs. Sun had sex with Mama Sun on the second day of the wedding, she hadn't summoned them, and she didn't know what she was going to do this time, and when she saw Mama Sun standing beside Madame, everyone didn't dare to say anything.

Mu Wan closed the account book with a smile and looked at the steward in charge of the ingredients, "I heard that the ordinary people of the Great Xia Dynasty spend about twenty taels of silver a year, and now the cabbage is only ten catties of one or two pieces of silver, it turns out that the lives of the ordinary people of the Great Xia Dynasty are so difficult, and even the cabbage is almost unaffordable?" ”

The steward kept changing his expression, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Madam, you don't know, you are talking about the prices in remote places, and the prices in our Kyoto are several times higher than those in other places," Mu Wan didn't look at him, and continued: "Cotton cloth five taels and one horse......" put the account book aside, and did not listen to the explanations of the people, continued to turn over the next book, half an hour passed, Mu Wan put down all the account books, drank tea and said: "Hongluan, read the price of goods that you found someone to copy from the market." ”

"This year's cabbage costs two pennies a catty, rice is one tael and one stone, and ordinary cotton cloth is 200 wen a horse......" As Hongluan read out the price, most of the stewards were pale and silent.

Looking at the changing faces of the stewards, Mu Wan said lightly: "I remember telling everyone on the first day that I don't ask for much, only one point, be honest, and can't deceive." There are eight of you, but now there are only two stewards. Do you know what's wrong? The steward who made the mistake immediately kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

Mu Wan wiped her hands with a handkerchief: "I am also a person with clear rewards and punishments, and the stewards who make mistakes will each play fifteen boards, and they will be demoted to deputy stewards, and the position will be topped by the original deputy stewards, and the stewards who do well will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver." "Egret has checked, those deputy stewards are capable and loyal, but the former lady likes the flattery of these stewards, so they are not reused.

Mu Wan stood up: "It's all gone, you can do the rest of it." Mama Sun watched Mrs. solve the matter in a few words, and sighed in her heart, the new lady has good means and is capable, and the original lady is really incomparable with her.
