Chapter 22: The Great House
The next day, Xiaotang dressed up Mu Wan'er.
The housekeeper came over early to inform Mu Wan'er that today was the day for her and the Hou Mansion's sister-in-law to see each other, let her dress up well, and don't embarrass the Mu family.
When Xiaotang planned to give Mu Wan'er a flower, Mu Wan'er refused, and only chose the elegant wooden hairpin, and Xiaotang, who learned that Mu Wan'er had no intention, was a little crying and laughing.
When Mu Wan'er left the courtyard and went to the garden pavilion, she noticed that someone was following behind her, and she didn't have to look back to know that it must be Mu Qian'er and Mu Yang.
Mu Yang held a slingshot in his hand, obviously wanting to make a fool of himself in front of the Hou Mansion's sister-in-law.
Although Mu Wan'er wanted to push away such a family matter, she didn't let them calculate themselves like this.
Mu Wan'er's eyes were deep, her steps were not slow, and when she arrived at the pavilion, she saw the concubine of the Hou Mansion from a distance.
When the concubine of the Hou Mansion saw Mu Wan'er coming, she looked at Mu Wan'er quietly, and compared Mu Wan'er and Zhang Ningyu in her heart, Mu Wan'er pursed her lips and walked over with a smile and sat in front of the concubine of the Hou Mansion.
"You are Mu Wan'er?" Hou Fuzi asked.
Mu Wan'er's lips moved slightly, and just as she wanted to speak, Mu Qian'er and Mu Yang ran over, sat next to her, and looked at Mu Wan'er and the Hou Mansion's sister-in-law with blank eyes.
The concubine of the Hou Mansion was stared at uncomfortably, and Mu Wan'er looked indifferent.
"What are you doing here?" Mu Wan'er asked softly.
Mu Yang raised his chin, "What?" Is this your home right? ”
Mu Wan'er's cool gaze fell on Mu Yang, Mu Yang didn't think so, and said something unbeatable next to her, Mu Qian'er echoed, as if watching cross talk.
No matter how stupid the concubine of the Hou Mansion was, she could see that something was wrong, and when she saw Mu Wan'er leisurely drinking tea, she couldn't help but admire her in her heart.
"It doesn't mean to sit like this, why don't you go around with me?" The concubine of the Hou Mansion relieved Mu Wan'er.
Mu Wan'er got up with her head bow, Mu Yang and Mu Qian'er also got up, Mu Yang immediately wanted to make a trip, but she didn't want Mu Wan'er to notice it a long time ago, so she stepped over directly, and stepped on Mu Yang quietly.
Mu Yang grinned in pain, Mu Qian'er stopped Mu Wan'er to ask for an explanation, and wanted to beat Mu Wan'er, Mu Wan'er retreated as advance, and let the two of them fall off the pavilion with their own consequences.
The family next to him hurriedly jumped down to catch people, Mu Qian'er and Mu Yang were so angry that they blew their beards and glared, and they couldn't say that Mu Wan'er pushed herself, after all, so many people were watching next to her.
Mu Wan'er came to Mu Qian'er with lotus steps, and her cool gaze fell on her, "Don't take pains, if you have this time, you should make up for your brain more, so as not to be embarrassed." ”
Mu Qian'er's eyes widened, and she raised her hand to give Mu Wan'er a slap, but Mu Wan'er grabbed her wrist, squinting her eyes and bursting with cold light.
The concubine of the Hou Mansion not far away was frightened by the chill emanating from Mu Wan'er's body, and felt that Mu Wan'er was not someone she could provoke, and she didn't have time to say goodbye to Mu Wan'er, so she left in a hurry.
After Mu Qian'er went back, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, why did she suffer a loss? But there is no way to take Mu Wan'er?
She is not reconciled!
After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Qian'er went to find Zhang Ningyu again, and told Zhang Ningyu how Zhang Ningyu embarrassed herself in front of the Hou Mansion's sister-in-law.
Zhang Ningyu was silent, his green jade hand was tapping on the desk, and he paid attention to it after a while.
"Mu Wan'er is from the countryside in the end, there is no good gentleman, he must not be able to read and ink, we can start from here to make Mu Wan'er ashamed." Zhang Ningyu proposed.
Mu Qian'er's eyes lit up, and she felt that this was a good idea.
"But what are we going to do?" Mu Qian'er asked.
Zhang Ningyu touched her chin, and thought of someone in her mind.
She took Mu Qian'er to find Mu Hao, the eldest granddaughter of the Mu family's big house, Mu Hao was very surprised to see Zhang Ningyu and Mu Qian'er, and her curved eyebrows were raised upward.
"You two are rare guests, why do you have time to come to me today?" Mu Feng quipped.
Mu Qian'er got Zhang Ningyu's instructions, and stepped forward to hold Mu Hao's arm, "Sister, where is this?" We also have a lot of things to do during this time, so we haven't been able to come over to bother, and when we are free, we come here every day, and you still have to dislike us? ”
Mu Qian smiled, nodded the tip of Mu Qian'er's nose affectionately, pulled them to sit down, and asked the next person to bring the best tea.
"Tell me, what are you here for? But don't think about me, this kind of thing perfunctory to me. Mu Feng smiled and took a sip of tea.
Zhang Ningyu and Mu Qian'er glanced at each other, Zhang Ningyu cleared her throat and said truthfully: "That's the case, I came to find you today because I want to join your poetry club, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"This relationship is good, I will have an extra companion in the future." Mu Feng didn't want to agree directly.
Every move here couldn't escape Mu Wan'er's eyes, and when she learned that Zhang Ningyu had gone to find Mu Hao, Mu Wan'er fell into deep thought.
Xiaotang was still chattering endlessly, "Speaking of which, this Mu Feng girl is also a good one, and she is also a well-known figure in the poetry club." ”
Mu Feng is good-looking and gentle, and her speech and demeanor are just right, she is indeed a rare girl.
Speaking of which, Mu Hao's father, Mu Wan'er's Uncle Mu, is the head of the Mu family and inherited the ancestral title of Marquis of Pingyang, while his father Mu Feng has no talent and no virtue but is bent on seeking to win the title of Uncle Mu, and he does not hesitate to sell his daughter.
Now Mu Feng wants to tie up with the Hou Mansion, in fact, a large part of the reason is that he wants to compete with Uncle Mu.
In her last life, it was because Mu Feng and Zhang Lan didn't have a good impression of Dafang, but the girl in Dafang helped her a few times, which made Zhang Lan and Mu Feng even more dismissive.
"Miss? Miss, have you listened to me? Xiaotang didn't get a response from Mu Wan'er for a long time, so she couldn't help pouting and patting Mu Wan'er's shoulder.
Mu Wan'er came back to her senses from her thoughts and raised her eyes to look at Xiaotang, "What did you say?" ”
"I mean, in the past, the cousin girl and the third girl rarely went to Miss Mufeng, and even if they went, they didn't have a good face when they came back, but this time they took the initiative to go, don't you think there is any problem?" Xiaotang analyzed.
Mu Wan'er bowed, thought for a while and replied, "It's true, but even so, it's nothing." ”
"Could it be that Miss Cheng and the third girl want to join forces with Miss Mu Feng to target us?" Xiaotang's eyes widened, looking very likely.
Hearing what Xiaotang said, Mu Wan'er covered her mouth and smiled helplessly, thinking of the friend she had met at the poetry meeting in her previous life-Wen Wanyun.
She thought about it for a moment and decided to go to the poetry club to find Wen Wanyun.
When she arrived, she happened to hear Zhang Ningyu and Mu Qian'er talking bad about herself, she raised her eyebrows, and just as she thought about it, she heard someone talking for her.
