21 Otherwise, I would have died in front of the second lady--
On this day, Mu Xiyan threw the scriptures on the ground, leaned back, and put his legs on the embroidery pier, looking uncomfortable to vent but unable to vent.
Nanshi, who ran in, saw the young lady like this and sweated coldly, "Miss, how can you get married like this in the future?"
"I don't want to get married." Mu Xian didn't think about it, so she blurted out directly.
One sentence scared Nanshi, looked at Mu Xiyan in a moment, and then remembered what he was going to say. He quickly came over and picked up the scriptures, "Miss..."
"What's wrong?" Mu Xiran saw that Nanshi still didn't say anything, so she took a look and saw that Nanshi was entangled. She also had no patience, "But what happened?"
Nanshi curled his lips and said, "That's not true. I just heard from those maidservants that the master is going to hold a banquet for Mr. Chu tonight. However, the maid asked the lady if she could go, but the maidservants said that the second lady specially told the second lady not to go.
I couldn't help muttering in my heart that the second lady used to at least send someone to say it, perfunctory, but now the second lady has blatantly excluded the young lady, which really makes her resentful!
Mu Xilan didn't care about Nan Shi's thoughts, but became serious, "Chu Gongzi?"
That's Chu Luo. She was still in the county government a few days ago. Why did she come to Mu Mansion again? So she should be more careful.
"Nanxiao, pay attention to the reception banquet in the front yard at night, and also inquire about Chuluo's intention to come to Mufu."
Nanxiao nodded and answered and said, "Miss, the Chu family has always had business dealings with the Mu family. Because Xiangcheng is far away from the capital, it used to come to the house by the shopkeeper of the Chu family, and the maidservant has also vaguely heard of the great son of the Chu family. The maidservant is also worried that the intention of Mr. Chu must not come to Mufu this time."
The Chu family has business everywhere, and Mu Xilan also knows it. And she also knew that the Chu family's business was so great that Chu Yunjin, the sister of the master of the Chu family, was praised as the "richest" by the Sheng Dynasty.
In the evening, Mu Xian read the book for a while and felt a little tired, so she was ready to rest. But before she lay down, she heard a rapid footsteps getting closer and closer, and she quickly put on her coat.
He listened to Nan Xiao's footsteps hurriedly and came in with a bad face. "Miss, Mr. Chu may be here for the purpose of marriage this time."
Mu Xiran was still slightly surprised, then restrained his expression and frowned, "A few days ago, Chu Luo hit his mind on Fang Yumo. In a blink of an eye, Chu Luo came to Mufu again. When did Chu Luo become such a lustful person?
At this time, Nan Xiao looked more worried, "Miss, listen to those maids say that Mr. Chu already has a wife. In this way, the master will never marry the third lady to Chu Luo as a concubine, but will marry the concubine's daughter to Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu must not be very willing, so... there is only the young lady left.
Nan Xiao was right. Mu Xiran only felt that her head was slowly occupied by the word "concubine", and she was a little at a loss. A few days ago, when she heard that Fang Yumo was going to be a concubine, she could only be angry. Now that she encountered this, more and more complicated emotions gushed out, resentment, loss, sadness...
Who made Mu Xiyan the most favored daughter of the Mu family?
All night, Mu Xiren was so annoyed that he couldn't sleep because of this bad news. Fortunately, it was the best way to find a way in the dead of night. Gradually, Mu Xiren couldn't help sleeping.
Sure enough, on the morning, the whole house knew the intention of Chu Luo to come here to marry the second lady Mu Xilan. Nanshi and Nanyi, who got the news, walked back and forth in the room, and Nanshi kept nagging. Only Mu Xilan was reading quietly, while Nan Xiao sat outside the door and embroidered flowers.
Finally, Nan Shi stopped and walked to Mu Xi'an with a bitter face, "Miss, aren't you worried at all? The maidservant was about to die of urgency. The lady's eldest daughter of Mufu was going to be a concubine. This was obviously the master's intention.
Mu Xilan put down the book and looked at Nanshi with bright eyes, "What do you want me to do? Let me go to the master's study now and make a big noise, or I have to go to tell Mr. Chu in person that you don't marry me, or I will die in front of the second lady..."
"Oh, miss, don't say such unlucky words." Nanshi quickly covered the young lady's mouth, "However, I don't want to watch the young lady go as a concubine."
"Since Nanshi doesn't want to stay in the house, then go to the other sisters." Mu Xiyan's eyes were like a strong smile in Qingyue's eyes, which showed that he already had an idea in his heart.
Mu Xilan took Nanshi and Nan Xiao directly to the courtyard of Miss Mu Nianqing. In his memory, Mu Nianqing has been given high expectations by the second lady since he was a child. He is now proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially good handwriting, and has been praised by Master Mu several times. It's just that the third Miss of the Mu family seems to be a little quiet, and she rarely comes out if she has nothing to do in the courtyard.
Since I became Mu Xi, it seems that the number of meetings between the two has increased.
The courtyard where Mu Nianqing lives is in the east, which is the most luxurious place in the house. The three walked through the garden, through the exquisite copyhand corridor, and then arrived at Dongyuan.
The first Wangxue Pavilion is where Mu Nianqing lives, which is very quiet. The maidservant who was cleaning the courtyard saw the three people coming in. First, she was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said, "Second Miss."
"Is your lady available? I have nothing to do and come to see my sister. Mu Xian asked with a smile.
The maid was about to answer when Nanluo lifted the curtain out of the main room and saw several people standing here, so he said first, "Miss San is in the room. Miss Er, please come in."
Mu Xiruan entered the room and saw Mu Nianqing sitting behind the desk in a pale cyan dress, bowing his head and writing something carefully. Mu Xi came over generously, with a curious face, "My sister is really kind-hearted. She writes and reads books here all day long." He stretched his neck and saw a pile of rice paper on the desk, "What is my sister writing?"
Mu Nianqing then put down his pen and raised his head. The alert flashed quickly in his eyes, but his tone was still faint, "I'm copying the scriptures." He turned his head and told Nanluo, "Why don't you go and make good tea for your sister? Why don't you understand the rules at all?"
"It turns out that my sister likes these Buddhist scriptures." Mu Xilan reached out and took a few pages, "Although I can't write, Nan Xiao can also copy it for me. I don't know if my sister is willing to give it?"
Mu Nianqing looked at Mu Xilan suspiciously and nodded, "It's just a copied scripture. If you like it, take it."
Mu Xilan casually took a few pages and gave them to Nanxiao. He pulled Mu Nianqing to sit down, and his faint eyebrows gradually became sad.
"My sister must have heard that Mr. Chu is going to get married. I know that my father has not liked me since I was a child, and my father will definitely let me go to get married. But Mr. Chu already has a wife, and I can only be a concubine. My sister is really unwilling."
