Chapter 183: It's a Good Talk
"Nonsense! Is my sister a person who will bully people at will?" Cheng Jiuniang shouted angrily.
Of course she is! From the beginning to the present, has she bullied fewer people? In the past, she was still secretly bullied, but now it is simply blatant, right?
Cui Pu replied in his heart, but his head still shook desperately a few times in cooperation: "I said something wrong! She didn't bully me, I bullied her." β
As soon as Cheng Nineteen Niang heard this, he really admitted it! Immediately asked him how he bullied him, and Hongdou hurriedly came over there: "Nineteen Niangzi, you are here! The lady heard that you were coming, so she specially asked the maid to come and pick you up." β
As soon as she heard that Mu Jiaojiao had an invitation, Cheng Jiuniang immediately let go of her hand: "Count you kid lucky!"
After that, he followed the red beans and left.
Cui Pu let out a long breath, and then looked at Yu Chi Saburo with admiration: "Brother Wei Chi, there is such a fierce lady, how have you survived all these years?"
In fact, she is just straighter, and she will say whatever she wants. Such a person has no scheming, as long as you are honest with her, there will naturally be no mustard between the two. Yu Chi Saburo smiled helplessly.
"Forget it! I can't afford such a straight girl. Cui Pu hurriedly shook his head. Relatively speaking, he still prefers a temperament like Mu Jiaojiao.
After Cheng Jiuniang's level, he has passed most of today's level. Cui Pu breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly raised his feet and entered the front hall. Here, there are also the stewards of Guo Tingshi's mansion, the servants of the Lu family and the Wang family, and the shopkeepers of the two Baicao halls are waiting for him. The combined attitude of these people towards him is far less than half of Cheng Jiuniang's ferocity, but it is quite difficult to deal with them one by one.
And just when the young couple was busy, Mu Wanying and Gu Wenhua returned to the Mu family's mansion together.
"Ah Niang, have you heard? Sixth sister, she and her sixth brother-in-law were in Pingkangfang last night, just to say goodbye to people, she spent 100,000 yuan in one go, and bought an Oiran for one night! The two of them listened to a total of five tunes, and then left!"
As soon as he entered the house, Mu Xuanxuan said loudly.
Gong is watching his son learn to settle accounts. Hearing this, she jumped up: "What did you say? 100,000 yuan a night?"
"That's right! This news has now spread throughout Chang'an City, and now who doesn't know that the lady of our Mu family doesn't treat money as money, and runs to the Qinglou to sway it at will when she has nothing to do? Now, I'm afraid that outsiders will treat our Mu family as a wronged leader!" Mu Xuanxuan said indignantly.
When she first heard this number, her heart was bleeding. When she got married, Mu You's dowry to her was tens of thousands. But Mu Jiaojiao casually moved away half of the Mu family's wealth, not to mention, and now he has sprinkled 100,000 yuan with his hand. How good it would be if these 100,000 guan were given to her, she used it to buy shops and land, and she didn't know how many 100,000 guan she could give birth.
After listening to her explain the cause and effect of the matter, Gong's face turned white and he sat down directly. "She actually ...... It's really ...... This girl is crazy, isn't she? Just to help her man, she doesn't care about anything? This still offends the martial arts family...... This Wu family is Concubine Wu Hui's maiden family! Concubine Wu Hui is such a powerful person, thinking that the Zhang family's business was on par with ours at the beginning, because she accidentally offended the Wu family, the whole family was thrown into prison, and she scattered all her wealth to save her life, and now no one knows where to go. It's not good for her to offend anyone, so she has to go against the Wu family? Now isn't she letting our family go to the footsteps of the Zhang family? This dead girl, why doesn't she want to stop? I said a long time ago that I shouldn't give her so much dowry, but your father just won't listen. Okay now, what should we do now? Your father is not in Chang'an yet!"
"Auntie, now is not the time to cry. Mu Xuanxuan was dizzy from her crying, and hurriedly told her to stop.
Gong Shi looked up puzzled: "Don't cry, then what should I do now?"
"Of course I'm going to find someone for help!" Mu Wanxuan said.
"Who else can I find now? Who can help us? She offended the martial family!
Looking at her cowardice, Mu Xuanxuan almost couldn't hold back. In the past, she always heard the scary people around her say that this aunt was not as good as her own mother, but now it seems that she is not just incomparable? It's just a hundred and eight thousand miles behind, okay?
"Ah Niang, have you forgotten the husband's family of the sixth sister?
The Gong clan suddenly realized: "That's right! The Boling Cui clan is also a big family in Chang'an City, and their head of the family is now an elder of the court. No matter how arrogant the martial arts are, they won't give them a face. But......" her eyes suddenly darkened, "Now that the sixth lady and her husband have done such things, the Cui family has lost face, and the Cui family is still not sure how to be angry." Now let's go to the door, what if they take their anger out on our heads?"
"Auntie, it's wrong for you to think so. Although the sixth sister spent a lot of money yesterday, who was she for? It was not the face of their Cui family! This money was not for her own use. Although she did something wrong, the Cui family would never be able to find fault with her! Even if we went directly to the door to make trouble, they would definitely not dare to say a word. What's more, we're talking to them now. Mu Xuanxuan saw that she was on the road, and hurriedly coaxed, "Moreover, when the time comes, let's lower the shelf, don't find fault with them, just say that the sixth sister is young and ignorant, and scold her in front of the Cui family, so that the Cui family can see our sincerity." When the time comes, they will definitely feel guilty and embarrassed to say anything more. Then let's beg them a few more words, where are they so ruthless that they don't care about us? As long as the Cui family speaks, the martial arts family will naturally not dare to do anything to us. β
Gong listened to her words and felt that there seemed to be some truth. Then he nodded: "Then do as you say, I'll ask someone to prepare the carriage and horses!"
"You don't have to worry about this aunt, don't we have a car? You can quickly pack up and take my car. Don't waste that time and go back to the car. Mu Xuanxuan said busily.
"Well, you're right, we need to hurry. Gong nodded again and again, and sure enough, he no longer bothered about the car, and hurriedly called the little girl to come in and comb her hair.
Taking advantage of the Gong family's entry, Gu Wenhua couldn't help but speak: "Are you sure you still want to go to the Pavilion Old Mansion? Have you forgotten the lesson you learned last time?"
"Last time I didn't think things through, but this time it's different. This time, we are here to help the sixth sister, and we are also begging the Cui family to help us. This time there is a reason for the manager, I don't believe that she can go to my uncle to sue me!" Mu Jiaojiao said loudly.
"Actually, I don't think it's as serious as we thought. Gu Wenhua's face was gloomy.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if. Haven't you seen what the martial arts family has done in Chang'an City all these years?, it's better to be careful!" Mu Xuan said, "Besides, this time it is A-Niang who is mainly going to admit her mistake and ask for help, let's just accompany her." At that time, even if there is really something, it will be Auntie's, what does it have to do with us? We are just daughters and sons-in-law, and we will go back to our parents' house to do our filial piety when Daddy is away. And once this matter is successful, you can also make a good impression in front of the Cui family, and it will be easier to walk around with these nobles in the future?
"Then why didn't you ask Daddy beforehand?"
"Hmph, Uncle's cautious temperament almost gave Mu Jiaojiao three sticks of incense a day. Last time, he was so troubled by her again, and now he still has palpitations, and he asks his aunt to teach me all day and night that I am not allowed to go to the sixth sister again. If I had told them, they would have disagreed. Rather than running into a wall with them, let's go first. When it's done, you see what they say, it must be a compliment to us for being clever and decisive!"
Gu Wenhua pursed his lips and did not speak. Mu Wanxuan squinted at him again: "Didn't I discuss these with you a long time ago, do you agree with me?"
He had ever approved of her? He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to meet her. Gu Wenhua said secretly.
Think of the phrase he heardβ'It's hard to buy a good heart, as long as it can make my husband happy, even if I throw all my money here now, I'm willing!'
What a mighty and domineering sentence. Thinking about it now, he still feels a shock in his heart.
If she had married him as promised, then she would have said this to him, right? What a blessing it would be for a man to be so loved by a woman?
In that moment, he wanted to see her, frantically wanted to see her. Don't do anything else, just be able to look at her from afar.
Therefore, when Mu Wanxuan proposed to go to the old mansion in the name of the Gong family, he agreed.
Soon the Gong family packed up, and the three of them took the Gu family's ox cart and hurried all the way to the old mansion.
When they arrived at the gate, they passed by the porter to report, and soon someone from Mrs. Cui's side invited them in.
Gong was brewing emotions all the way. It was easy to see Mrs. Cui, and she immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "Mrs. In-laws, we are sorry for you!"
Mrs. Cui was so frightened that the teacup in her hand almost flew out.
"What is the in-law wife doing here? Come on, hurry up and help the in-law wife up!" she hurriedly said left and right.
The maids rushed up and helped Gong up, but Gong was still crying. "Mrs. in-laws, it's not good for us, we didn't teach the sixth lady well, and we developed her lawless temperament. Last night...... Hey, she made a big mistake, I can't cover it up as a mother, you can call her out now, let me teach her a hard lesson!"
Rao is Mrs. Cui has seen all kinds of people, and she was still shocked by Gong's words.
"Oh, it turns out that this is what you said Mrs. In-laws!" she quickly reacted and smiled indifferently, "The boy is spirited, merry and fun, it's not a big deal." It's a good thing to fight for the Oiran, not to mention that they still won, which is even more of a beautiful talk. Last night, when Ge Lao came back, he praised them in front of the eldest husband and wife, saying that they were true temperament and had the legacy of the sages of Wei and Jin. β
Ga?
Hearing this, Gong Shi was stunned, and Mu Wanxuan was also stunned.
How so?
"That's a hundred thousand!" Mu Xuanxuan couldn't help but whisper.
"It's true that it's a bit more than 100,000 yuan to fight for the flower in one go, but it's also a pioneering act, right? Speaking of which, this is another big gain!" Mrs. Cui said with a smile.
Gong and Mu Mingxuan, mother and daughter, were once again shocked by her unique brain circuit. "But, the samurai's side ......"
Mrs. Cui's eyes darkened, but she knew their intentions. She glanced at the Zheng family: "Daughter-in-law of Dalang, why don't you hurry up and serve tea to your in-laws?"
Zheng hurriedly pretended to take a selfie and slapped him: "Auntie's lesson is that the daughter-in-law is stupid, and she forgot to serve tea to her in-laws and aunts! β
She enthusiastically pressed the Gong family down and sat down, and then said with a smile: "Last night's Pingkangfang competition for the Oiran must have spread throughout Chang'an City now, right? Our family's Liulangjun and Wujia's Erlangjun are both elegant people, and both of them admire Junjun's girl, which is something everyone knows." Junjun girl is both talented and beautiful, and no matter how much money they throw at her, it should be. The sixth brother won last night, this is a beautiful talk, but Wu Erlangjun lost but there is no shame. If he holds a grudge and hates Liulang because of this trivial matter, it will be a joke, and he will provoke the contempt of the people in Chang'an City. The Wu family is also Concubine Wu Hui's maiden family, how could she do such a stupid thing?"
In other words, Mu Jiaojiao smashed out the 100,000 guan last night, but he smashed it right?
Gong Shi looked back at Mu Xuanxuan in a daze. She's stupid now, and she doesn't know what to say.
The handkerchief in Mu Xuan's hand was about to be torn into strips of rags. She gritted her teeth, and it was easy for her to raise a smile: "Is that so? Then we can rest assured." However, what about the sixth sister, where is she now? I have a few words to say to A-Niang and I. β
"She's tired, she's resting now, and I've told me that no one is allowed to disturb her. If the in-laws and aunts want to see her, they can come back next time. Mrs. Cui smiled.
Mu Xuanxuan listened, and his heart suddenly sank.
Why is Mu Jiaojiao so lucky, and she is protected by her aunt to this point! Why can't she meet such an aunt?
"So, what about Rokuro-kun? We say the same thing to him. She blurted out.
Mrs. Cui's face immediately sank: "Liulang is naturally seeing a male guest outside. If there is anything important, you should send someone to inform Rokuro's daughter-in-law, and then let Rokuro's daughter-in-law tell Rokuro. You sisters, do you still need to taboo anything?"
Swept away by her cold eyes, Mu Xuanxuan suddenly felt as if her whole heart had been taken out and opened in front of everyone, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground.
