The queen thought that the man died of illness before he was thirty, knowing that this was a comfort from Concubine Xian, and also knowing that she didn't want to mention it again, so she had to change the topic: "If you don't want to mention it, I won't talk about it in the future." Xiao Yu here, you don't have to worry about it, although Lord Xiao is only a second grade, he is only in his thirties, and there is a lot of room for improvement, and he is very valued by the emperor, I have heard the emperor praise him many times in private. And the relationship between his family is simple, his family is thin, there are only six people, and Mrs. Xiao's maiden family is only three. There are few people and few dirty things, coupled with Mrs. Xiao's methods, the Xiao Mansion will never hold back, and can even be a help. You don't know, in order to find out the daily style of these young ladies before, only this Xiao Mansion is the most difficult, and I don't know that I have folded several batches of people. In the end, he finally succeeded, but he didn't find out the secret of Xiao Mansion. I only found out that Lord Xiao and Mrs. Xiao don't care about family affairs, one only cares about court affairs, and the other only loves to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and live a pension life. The affairs of the palace are in charge of the affairs of the house, and Xiao Yu and her sister are taught by Mrs. Xiao herself, and the two sisters are given the right to study. Xiao Yu's biological mother also respects Mrs. Xiao very much, even better than Lord Xiao, and revolves around Mrs. Xiao and her son every day. Therefore, although Xiao Yu is a concubine, she can learn Mrs. Xiao's methods nine out of nine, which means that she is no different from her concubine, without Mrs. Xiao's careful guidance, she can learn the essence? Ordinary concubines can imitate up to four or five percent, which is already a genius! ”

Concubine Xian was a little surprised: "This Mrs. Xiao is so powerful?" It's nothing special to see her on weekdays, and she's still silent. ”

The queen smiled: "Some people are low-key, they don't have the ability to pretend to be low-key, and some people are low-key, which is really low-key." People like Mrs. Xiao really look down on fame and fortune, so they hide it deeply, have you forgotten the New Year's banquet two years ago? ”

Concubine Xian suddenly said: "I remembered, that year, if it was someone else, I would have yelled and screamed a long time ago, but as a result, people hid quietly aside, which was quite calm." ”

Speaking of this, the queen sighed: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, the test of this palace has not yet begun!" It was broken by others, and I didn't even have a chance to solve the problem, and I was embarrassed to say that the two children were there just now. ”

"Oh?" Concubine Xian was interested, but she didn't expect the queen to suffer a loss, and she was a little gloating, "What was my sister trying to test?" Tell me about it? ”

The queen looked at the gossip on this person's face, and then said: "I originally planned to let them finish talking about the punishment of the beggars, and then let the beggars pretend to be dissatisfied and retaliate against them by force, but the cook is used to protect them, and I want to see their immediate reaction when they encounter a crisis, who knows that the two will end before they start!" ”

Concubine Xian laughed when she heard this: "I can only blame that Xiao Yu's eyes are too poisonous, it is worthy of being as vicious and meticulous as Mrs. Xiao's eyes!" ”

Here, Mu Wan accompanied Mrs. Mu to watch for a long time, and finally took a fancy to one, this person is Shi Huizhu, the granddaughter of Uncle Anding's family, when she was ten years old, her parents died unexpectedly early, and her younger brother depended on each other, she relied on her own ability, fought wits and courage with her uncles and aunts, kept the family property left by her parents, and broke into her own reputation, and now she is fourteen years old.

It is rumored that Shi Huizhu is particularly sharp and domineering, disrespectful to her elders, and vulgar, but after seeing her today, Mu Wan found at a glance that her real personality is gentle but resolute, and she belongs to the kind of soft and strong, and tough.

It's just that although some families look down on her as too strong, some families need this kind of person to support the portal. So there are still people who propose, but in the end there is no follow-up.

Because Shi Huizhu had already spoken to marry her younger brother, after all, her younger brother Shi Yunfei was only six years old now, she was not at ease at all, for fear that her brother would be bullied alone, which also discouraged many families.

Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Wan: "It's no problem to marry my younger brother, anyway, we have a small family and many children, but will her relatives be a little difficult?" ”

The two hid aside and whispered, Mu Wan was about to say, Xiao Yu came over, quietly told the two of them what had just happened, and handed over the purse in his hand.

Mu Wan took it and opened it to take a look, and found that it was a jade plaque inside, and she was a little puzzled about what it was. Mrs. Mu came over to take a look, took a light breath, and told the two of them with her mouth: This is the jade plate for entering Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace is where the queen lives, and the three of them all realized something, and both Mrs. Mu and Xiao Yu looked at Mu Wan and asked her to make up her mind. Mu Wan clenched her purse, but she didn't expect to be chosen! After thinking for a while, he looked at Xiao Yu first: "Do you refuse?" Honestly, don't worry, everything is with me. ”

Xiao Yu thought about it seriously for a while: "Mother, Yu'er thinks about it, and thinks that it seems to be the same to choose anyone, in this case, this choice is not bad, at least the conditions are better?" I saw that person just now, and I don't feel disgusted. ”

Mu Wan nodded: "Since that's the case, then we'll decide so." This means that we need to be more cautious from now on. He looked at Mrs. Mu again, "Mother, do you want to change your daughter-in-law's standards?" ”

Mrs. Mu understood what Mu Wan meant, and shook her head: "Don't change it, marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, I didn't worry about my family background before this incident, and after this incident, I won't worry even more." With our kind of family background, we don't need an overly powerful in-laws, what we need is not to hold back, so I'm worried about her relatives just now. ”

Xiao Yu was a little curious: "Grandma, whose sister do you fancy to?" ”

Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "What sister? If you really choose, you'll have to change your name to aunt. Seeing Xiao Yu's reaction, he continued: "Grandma's vision is not as good as your mother's, so I called your mother to help choose it, and your mother took a fancy to Shi Huizhu of the Anding Bo family." ”

Xiao Yu covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice, "Sister Huizhu? ”

When Mu Wan heard Xiao Yu's tone, she immediately asked, "What?" Are you familiar with her? Mu Wan never interfered with Xiao Yu's personal relationship, nor did she ask her friends to ask this question.

Xiao Yu nodded embarrassedly: "I met by chance at the banquet before, Sister Huizhu is very nice, but she has to take care of her younger brother, so she doesn't often go out to play." It's just that I didn't expect that one day I might have to call Sister Huizhu my aunt. ”

Mu Wan shook her head and smiled: "The whole capital is so big, everyone is not familiar with each other, your uncle is not much older than you, this kind of thing is normal." Then again, do you know her relationship with her people? ”

Xiao Yu recalled carefully: "Although Sister Huizhu didn't say it directly, I can hear that she has a bad relationship with the family, her father was originally the son, and she could have made her younger brother the grandson, but her grandmother, that is, Mrs. Andingbo's favored youngest son, gave her the position of the son to her second uncle." Originally, this was nothing, and Sister Huizhu also understood, but they still wanted to snatch the private property left by Sister Huizhu's parents, and even her mother's dowry. Sister Huizhu borrowed the power of her maternal grandfather to keep the family business. ”

Mu Wan nodded: "Being good at borrowing power is a kind of ability, but she also has the ability herself, otherwise she can't keep the family business just by taking advantage of it." Mu Wan thought for a moment and continued, "If that thing really happens, the queen mother will definitely come to me, and then I will ask the queen mother to postpone it for a while before announcing it, and we will take advantage of this to get engaged to Brother Qing and see the attitude of that family." Yu'er, you will quietly ask Miss Shi to come here to find us later, and then you go to the young people to have a good time, if my estimate is right, the princes are also there, you take this opportunity to get to know each other. ”

Xiao Yu nodded, knowing that this was a big deal, so he hurriedly went to do it.

After a while, Shi Huizhu came over, she was delicate and thin, her face was condensed with goose fat, her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her spirit was like autumn water, she was indescribably soft and delicate, but her eyes revealed her firmness and unyieldingness, and she was wearing an emerald green skirt, which was particularly dazzling and fresh in the sunshine, ethereal and light.

Shi Huizhu saluted the two: "Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Xiao." ”

Mu Wan knew that the other party was a smart person, and she didn't beat around the bush: "Miss Shi, if I have something to say, I will say it directly, I want to ask to marry you for my mother's brother, I don't know if Miss Shi is intentional?" Because I don't know what you mean, I want to ask in private, and if you are interested, we will immediately ask the matchmaker to officially come to the door. ”

Shi Huizhu looked at Mrs. Xiao, who was in charge, and then looked at Mrs. Mu on the side, and asked carefully, "Have you two listened to my request?" ”

"I know, we don't mind if you take your brother to marry, and we can even send Brother Ling to study in Guozijian, train him well, and treat him as a family member." Speaking of this, Mu Wan said confidently, "We will do what we say and never break our promise!" ”

Shi Huizhu smiled: "Huizhu believes this, just look at Sister Xiao Yu and know that there will be no fake." Shi Huizhu also knows Mrs. Xiao's personality, but, "Why?" Brother Ling can choose a better background! ”

Mu Wan took her mother's hand: "My mother and I are not people who value identity, we value people." It's just that I want to know your attitude towards your people, and I don't want them to drag their feet one day. ”

Shi Huizhu understood and said directly: "I don't have any feelings for them, but after all, they are relatives whose blood is thicker than water, I won't ignore them, but I won't indulge them, and I can't cross the bottom line!" ”

"Good!" Mu Wan clapped her hands and praised, and Mrs. Mu also nodded in approval, "I like this answer, people can't be too extreme, and severing the relationship at every turn is heartless, but helping without a bottom line is aiding and abusive." The best way is to keep them in the palm of your hand so that they can't roll over the waves. ”

Shi Huizhu is also very happy that Mrs. Xiao can understand herself, and she does not say that she is not obedient to her elders like others: "Huizhu has done this, I have basically the final say in the house in the past few years, although they are dissatisfied, but there is nothing they can do about me." Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here today, and I can guarantee that after I get married, they won't make a big mistake. ”

Mu Wan admired this girl who had been in charge for a long time more and more, and said with a smile: "Then now it depends on whether Miss Shi can take a fancy to my brother Qing?" ”

Shi Huizhu was embarrassed to speak, but just smiled at Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Mu, Mu Wan instantly understood, turned her head to Mrs. Xiao and said, "It's done, mother, you will find a matchmaker to come to the door tomorrow to propose marriage, and the marriage can be said later, but the marriage will be decided as soon as possible." ”

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly took out the jade pendant that had been prepared and handed it to Shi Huizhu, saying that this was a token of the family, and she would send a matchmaker to the door tomorrow morning. Shi Huizhu took the hairpin, only to see that the hairpin was green all over, the hairpin body was carved with lifelike mandarin ducks, a snow lotus bloomed quietly on the hairpin, and there was a lotus-like pendant, which was elegant and dusty. Xu didn't expect to be in such a hurry, Shi Huizhu was a little stunned.

Mu Wan also took off the chicken blood jade bracelet on her wrist, put it on Shi Huizhu's hand, held her hand and explained: "This is my dowry when I got married, and it can be regarded as my meeting gift to my future brother and sister." We have to hurry up with such a good girl as you, otherwise what will we do if we are snatched away? ”

After the decision was made, Shi Huizhu separated from the two, and Mu Wan asked her to go to Xiao Yu and get to know Mu Qing by the way. Mu Wan and Mrs. Mu walked around the palace.
