Chapter 10 The Concubine Becomes a Concubine

Aunt Liu pulled Xiao Yu Xiao Yu and kowtowed to Mrs. to thank her: "Madame, don't worry, the slaves and maids know what to do and how to teach them." ”

Mu Wan saw the etiquette of kowtowing at every turn: "Okay, you guys get up, I will talk to the old man and the old lady about this on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you are ready." It's okay in the future, you can take them for a walk. ”

Seeing that Mrs. was a little tired, Aunt Liu took her leave and took the two young ladies back to her yard. Closing the door, Aunt Liu solemnly told the two: "Yu'er, Yue'er, it's our luck to meet Mrs. You must firmly remember the kindness of your wife, no matter where your future is, you must remember that Xiao Mansion is your home, don't forget the good of your wife, and your wife will always be your mother. At the same time, you should also learn more from your wife, as long as you learn half of it, you will benefit immensely. ”

Xiao Yu pulled her sister and promised: "Auntie, don't worry, we must remember our mother's goodness, and we will also be filial to our mother and aunt." ”

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the owners of Xiao Mansion rarely gathered together, as the only male host, Xiao Wenyu, who had a rare day off, paid tribute to his ancestors, and then several people moved to the courtyard to gather. Mu Wan arranged for the kitchen to prepare various flavors of mooncakes and snowy skin mooncakes, as well as some fruits from her own estate. There are too few people in Xiao Mansion, and today in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people sitting in the seats are Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Wenyu, Mu Wan, Aunt Liu, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue, a total of 6 people.

Mrs. Xiao was very happy: "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is a double happiness, and by this time next year, our Xiao family will definitely add a new one." Xiao Mansion hasn't had a good gathering like this for a long time. This snowy mooncake is delicious, and the skin is thin and soft and glutinous. Son, you have to taste it. "Old Mrs. Xiao actively gave her son Amway this moon cake, and when she gave the Mid-Autumn Festival gift two days ago, Mu Wan sent someone to send a plate for the old lady to taste.

Xiao Wenyu has never seen snowy skin mooncakes, the colorful crystal mooncakes have transparent milky white skin, carved with labyrinth-like patterns, take a bite, the skin is smooth and tender, the filling is full, a bit like bean paste, sweet, but not greasy at all, "It's really good, which restaurant is this new, why haven't I seen it before?" ”

"Where is the new restaurant, this is an idea that Wan'er came up with, and two days ago, I asked the kitchen to send it to relatives and friends. Fortunately, you married Wan'er, otherwise it would be up to you to do whatever you do! Old Madam Xiao pretended to blame Xiao Wenyu, and Mu Wan snickered on the side.

Xiao Wenyu hurriedly got up and accused: "It's my son's, I must care more about the affairs of the house in the future." Picked up another glass of wine and turned to look at Mu Wan, "Wan'er has worked hard, punish herself for her husband." Mu Wan replaced the wine with soup and returned the wine.

Seeing that the hour was about the same, Mu Wan glanced at Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu understood and touched Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu took Xiao Yue to get up and toast to the elders, and gave gifts, Mrs. Xiao and Mu Wan each had a handkerchief, and Xiao Wenyu was a purse.

Usually Mrs. Xiao doesn't like to see these two granddaughters, and after not seeing them for a while, she found that these two children are behaving like now. Old Madam Xiao was in a rare good mood, took the handkerchief, and nodded: "Yes, it is not in vain that your mother sent you to Gu Fuzi's school to study hard." "When I first heard that Mu Wan persuaded Gu Fuzi to accept people, Mrs. Xiao still wanted to leave this quota for her future daughter-in-law, but Mu Wan told the old lady that she did not object, and now it seems that the results are indeed good. In ancient times, men paid attention to teaching their sons rather than their daughters, so Xiao Wenyu didn't know much about these two daughters, playing with his purse and quietly listening to his mother teach the two children.

Mu Wan took the opportunity to beckon Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue to her side, and then got up and saluted the two: "Mother-in-law, master, the concubine body just has something to say, and the concubine body plans to record these two children in the name of the concubine body, and ask for the opinions of the two of them." ”

The mother and son glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Mu Wan to bring up this matter. Old Madam Xiao was a little puzzled, originally the two granddaughters entered the Gu Fuzi Academy, and their identities rose, and now once the concubine becomes a concubine, the family who comes to propose marriage in the future will definitely go to the next level, which is definitely a good thing for Xiao Mansion, but which housewife will treat the concubine like this, and it is already the master's tolerance and generosity if she is not harsh: "Wan'er, why did you suddenly think of this?" ”

Mu Wan also understood what Old Madam Xiao meant: "Mother-in-law, I just keep them in my name, and I usually discipline them occasionally, and most of the time I am still with Aunt Liu, which has no effect on me." The population of the house is too small, and having two more concubines will only add to the icing on the cake in the house. ”

Old Madam Xiao could see that Mu Wan was really thinking like this, and secretly said in her heart that she usually underestimated Mu Wan, a housewife can not only stare at the trivial matters in the house, but also have a long-term vision, it is obvious that Mu Wan is a big pattern, and she is more satisfied in her heart: "The old man listens to you, you are the housewife of this family, you can arrange everything." ”

Mu Wan thanked the old lady, and then looked at Xiao Wenyu, who had not spoken: "What does the master think?" ”

I saw Xiao Wenyu looking at Mu Wan, his eyes were bright, full of deep meaning: "Listen to Wan'er, since you have decided, then record them in your name and find time to give them a family tree." Turning his head to look at the two daughters, "In the future, you must be filial to your mother, and you must not be disobedient, and you will usually let Aunt Liu take care of you." ”

Aunt Liu, who was full of joy, knelt down with Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue: "Old Mrs. Xie, Master Xie, Mother Xie!" ”

Seeing that the matter was decided, Xiao Wenyu turned his head and asked Mu Wan: "Will people outside the snow skin mooncake make it?" Mu Wan didn't understand why Xiao Wenyu suddenly asked this, but she still said honestly: "The concubine only gave the finished product to relatives and friends, and they shouldn't be able to." Only my mother's family has a recipe, but they don't spread the word. Mu Wan didn't say that this recipe was brought over by Mu Wan yesterday when she gave her mother good news.

Xiao Wenyu said that he understood, asked Mu Wan for a recipe, packed some finished products, and brought the best-looking chrysanthemum purple dragon lying snow planted by Mu Wan, turned to the old woman and said: "Mother, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace is about to start, my son has to take a step in advance, and you will come later, mother." ”

Old Madam Xiao shook his hand and asked him to hurry up, let Mu Wan and the others eat slowly, and then got up and went back to the house to pack up and prepare to leave. Because Mu Wan did not have an edict in her body, she could not enter the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Mrs. Xiao could only go by herself.

Mu Wan guessed that Xiao Wenyu was probably offering something to the emperor, and secretly said that he would borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and there was no dissatisfaction.

After the two entered the palace, Mu Wan felt relaxed instead, and pulled Aunt Liu to chat with the two children, admiring the moon, chrysanthemums, and eating moon cakes. When he was interested, he asked people to take the guqin of the original owner, and played a song "When Will the Bright Moon Be There" with his body memory, the two children sang, and Aunt Liu danced with him.

Here, Xiao Wenyu, who entered the palace, took advantage of the fact that the banquet had not yet started, and directly asked to see the emperor. The emperor thought something was wrong, and hurried to the main hall: "Aiqing, is there anything wrong with Dali Temple?" ”
