66 It's not your turn to dictate
Mu Xian turned over and rubbed his eyes. After coming to the capital for three months, he gradually forgot about the Mu family.
Nanshi came in with hot water and saw that Mu Xi'an was still confused, so she curled her lips and said, "Miss, if you want to sleep, just sleep a little longer. Anyway, she is not an important guest. It doesn't matter if you let them wait a little longer."
"Nan Xiao, Nanshi will be handed over to you from tomorrow. If you can't, I'll ask my aunt to find a mother." Mu Xilan didn't even look at Nanshi and said to Nan Xiao directly while wearing clothes.
Nan Xiao endured the smile at the corners of his mouth and said seriously, "Yes, miss."
Nanshi over there was in a hurry. She hurried over and looked at Mu Xiyan and said aggrievedly, "Miss, isn't I talking to you? Why did I become a maid in turn? How unjust it is for slaves and maidservants.
Mu Xilan put on her clothes and glanced at her, "You just can't hide your mouth. If outsiders listen to it, I'm afraid that the second lady of the Mu family will be arrogant and even her stepmother will not be seen in the capital tomorrow. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you should keep it in your heart. Don't say it like this. Looking at the woman dressed simply in the mirror, Mu Xian waved her hand with satisfaction, "I can go alone."
The capital in October has entered a cold winter, and there are only dead branches left in the bleak peach trees in the yard.
In the front hall of the front yard, Mrs. Mu sat dignifiedly. Every action was no less than the upbringing of Mrs. Yi. Mrs. Yi was not interested in it. She just kept drinking tea and waiting for Mrs. Mu to explain her intention.
The quietness in the front hall made the maids hold their breath. It was not until Mu Xi ran Yingying came, that the maids breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Xi ran over and said goodbye to Mrs. Yi first, "How are your aunt?" Then turn around and bow to Mrs. Mu, "How are you, second lady?"
"Come and sit next to your aunt. I saw that the face was getting better and better. Sure enough, this daughter's family still needs to be pampered. It turns out that you are too thin. My aunt has always been peaceful, and it is rare to have such a secret thorn. It can be seen that my aunt doesn't like the second wife of the family.
Speaking of which, Yuan, the second wife of the Mu family, also grew up in the capital, and they used to know and know the eldest wife of the Yi family. However, since the original family became a concubine, all the ladies in the capital have disdained her and despised her very much. What's more, the original clan robbed the husband of Miss Yi, which made these sisters who usually make friends with Miss Yi family resent.
Today, all the females in those years are now the masters and mothers of various houses, and the Yuan family rarely returns to the capital. She also knows that she has made many enemies invisibly in the capital.
Mrs Mu's stiff smile at the corners of her mouth was as ugly as if she had secretly swallowed Huang Lian, and she didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Mu Xiran's eyes swept away from Mu Nianqing and fell on Mrs. Mu. "I heard that the second lady also took half a month to get to the capital. Why didn't you have a good rest? She came to see Xiran first. Xi Ran really can't bear the name of unfilial piety.
"Isn't your mother worried about you? I just came to the capital and heard that you fell into the water a month ago, so I came to have a look." Mrs. Mu soon returned to her mother's appearance, with a worried look on her face.
"Look at you, it should be good. When I was in the Mu family, my mother didn't take care of you. The eldest wife of the Yi family also knows that there are many adults in the Mu family, and I always think about taking care of everyone, not to mention those two aunts..."
Mu Xilan glanced at Mrs. Yi's eldest wife, and Mrs. Yi interrupted Mrs. Mu in a low voice, "If there is anything, please tell me. After a while, I will take Xilan to the Shi family to see his ancestors.
Mrs. Mu put her hand on her legs and said solemnly, "I came here specially to take Xilan back. Next month will be the sunset. The master said that he should do it well, so naturally he can't be absent.
"No need to say. The girl's and the girl will do it in Yifu. The Mu family has never raised a girl as a daughter, and naturally they don't need to do anything. Now we all know that the girl is a young lady in Yi's house, so my father specially ordered to do a good job for the girl. Mrs. Chu rarely wears makeup on a beautiful face, and she looks particularly energetic today.
"Since Mrs. Mu is also here, if there is no emergency at home, I will naturally send someone to send the invitation."
Mrs. Mu was anxious when she heard this and quickly stood up, "Han Rou, you are the most well-behaved sisters. Naturally, I know that my daughter has to do it in her own home. How can you mess up the rules!?
Mu Xiyan has been looking at Mu Nianqing, who is motionless, with no other expression on her face.
"Mrs. Mu's words are wrong. The rules are set by people, and naturally they can be changed. Mrs. Yi glanced at it angrily.
"Shi Hanrou, don't bully others too much. Mu Xiren is the daughter of the Mu family, and it's not your turn to point fingers. Only when she is sure that Mrs. Yi is a rule-bearing person will she be very confident to take away Mu Xiren, otherwise she will not be brave to ask for people.
But Yuan didn't know that Shi Hanrou was still very protective of his shortcomings. I only heard Mrs. Yi's cold voice, "Mrs. Mu is not afraid that I will speak unpleasantly, so I have nothing to avoid. I know very well what happened in Mufu that month. Yifu is inseparable now. If he is idle, he will definitely settle the account with the original family!"
Mu Xiran saw that her aunt was really angry and quickly came over and gently held the back of Mrs. Yi's eldest wife closely looked at Mrs. Mu's pale face. "I'm really ashamed of Yuan Taifu. I actually raised such a good daughter who grabbed her husband and wanted to kill her daughter! Xiaoque, see you off."
Mu Xilang was more moved when she looked at all this. It was the most gratifying thing in her life that her aunt could quarrel with Mrs. Mu regardless of her image. When she came out of the main hall, Mrs. Yi's family instantly restored her kindness.
"Ran girl, aunt, uncle and grandfather will never let them bring you back again." One sentence gave Mu Xiyan speechless peace of mind, "Such a clever daughter will only ruin her life in their hands."
Mu Xilan put his head on the shoulder of Mrs. Yi's family, "Maybe my aunt spoiled Xilan instead of her mother."
In the main hall, Mrs. Mu was very angry. She gritted her teeth and looked at the extremely exquisite and luxurious decorations in the hall, and thought that she had been working hard to maintain her mother-in-law status in the Mu Mansion for so many years. Not only did she not get the only love of Mu Qingyang, but also let the concubines in the house wait one after another, and then touched her that she had deep wrinkles. The face is far less well maintained than that of Mrs. Yi's.
"After so many years, others can't know how hard I am." There is endless sighs in the low self-murmur.
Unexpectedly, Mu Nianqing's delicate face was dignified and said, "Mom, you have endured for so many years, why can't you calm down now? No matter how persistent Mrs. Yi insists, as long as you are kind, others can't say anything wrong. At that time, it will only be said that the Yi family does not miss the old feelings, and Mu Xiruan is greedy for glory and wealth.
Naturally, Mu Nianqing helped Mrs. Mu come out of the main hall before saying these words. Mrs. Mu pulled her skirt fiercely, "Of course you are right. But in those days at Yinyue Temple, my mother will never forget it. I just want to see Mu Xi fall into the same end as her mother!"
"Take Princess Zhaohua as an example, so many people doubt the death of Princess Zhaohua, but who dares to come out openly and shout with the Su family? Moreover, I have seen the scenery of Princess Zhaohua with my own eyes, and in the end, it is not a pile of dead bones buried in the loess.
Out of Yifu, Mu Nianqing turned around and looked up at the plaque and secretly made up his mind that he would have wealth and power one day.
After this day, Mu Xiren has never seen Mrs. Mu come to the house again. Maybe she has no nerve to come back, or maybe she is secretly plotting a conspiracy. Anyway, Mu Xiren feels that she should pay attention to it at any time.
And in the next month, a few days later, Mu Xilan heard Nan Xiao say that Mrs. Mu went to a house with Mu Nianqing. Mu Xiyan also vaguely guessed Mrs. Mu's intention. After the New Year, Mu Nianqing was also 14 years old, and it was time to talk about marriage.
In these days, Mu Xi'an is busy all day long. He can't think about other things and learn from the old people in the house and the rules of that day.
The ceremony of aristocratic women is extremely complicated and almost the same as that in the palace. However, in her previous life, Princess Zhaohua was extremely spoiled, and many etiquette was avoided that day. Now, my aunt is very much telling me that she wants Mu Xi to learn the rules well.
And it is extremely important that the lady who has not yet been appointed for Mu Xi's hair on the ceremony. Yi Shiping is the only one in the Yi family, and there is no prestigious woman. Mrs. Yi had to choose from other noblewomen.
In the evening of the day before the day, Mrs. Yi was still outside. Mu Xilan was extremely worried. He dragged his cheeks and sat in front of the bed, looking at the sky with continuous snowflakes.
"Nanshi, if you want to be idle, go back and rest. Don't go back and forth in the room." Mu Xi broke his shoulder and turned around to look at Nanshi helplessly.
Nanshi stamped her feet, and the round bun combed on both sides moved cutely. "Isn't the maidservant worried about the young lady? Seeing that tomorrow is the day of death, she hasn't chosen a noblewoman yet. Is it that they don't want to, or someone did it on purpose?
Mu Xi'an remembered that Mrs. Mu wandered around the mansions for such a month, and her hand holding the comb couldn't help tightening. "What Nan Shi said is impossible. It turned out that Mrs. Mu had this idea, which was really unprepared.
"But how can Mrs. Mu alone persuade all the ladies to refuse?" Nanxiao also suddenly felt cold.
Mrs. Mu is really calculating. If there is no lady willing to seduce herself tomorrow, she is not only a joke, but also can no longer stay in the capital. This is also a lesson for yourself.
