C148 (1/2)
Mu Rousang was wearing a peony coloured plate of gold chrysanthemum rat skin cloak, holding onto an oil painting umbrella while walking slowly with wooden clogs on top of it. The snow was pressing on the dried branches, Dewar Shrek was covered with fluttering snow, and the wind was wrapped around her, forming a snow picture of a servant girl admiring the snow.
When they arrived at the Ink Fragrance Temple, Xi Yan and An Ran were waiting outside the door of the study. From afar, they heard the sound of someone stepping on the snow, and looked over to tear open his mouth and laugh: ”Aunt is here, Aunt is here!”
The door to the study room opened, and Yan Mo came out to welcome him. He quickly invited a few people in, and then ordered someone to heat up a pot of boiling water to come over.
After entering the room and seeing Mu Jinzhi sitting down, Yan Mo came over and reported: ”Young Master knows that Aunt likes to drink flower tea the most, so he had already sent people to sweep away the snow on the plum blossom before sending servants to the branches to pick the latest plum blossoms. Aunt, please wait for a moment, after the plum blossom snow has been boiled, I will make Aunt some Snow Plum tea.”
Mu Rousang laughed: ”It's still better to live at home. Bro, I feel like moving back.”
Mu Jinzhi shook his head and said helplessly: ”I mean, once you marry Zi Xuan, you must be a good daughter-in-law. I know that you should do this, when I have free time, I will ask your sister-in-law to send a note to invite you over to play. If you don't have free time, I will ask someone to sweep away the snow on Mei Li's heart and then pluck the most tender flower stamens to send to you.”
After the two of them chatted for awhile, Mu Rousang asked again, ”Brother, you said that you have something to discuss with me, what exactly is it?”
”En, yang-ge has sent a letter, take a look first.” Mu Jinzhi picked up a letter from the desk and passed it to her.
Seeing his serious expression, Mu Rousang hastily took the letter and read through it. She furiously slapped her hands on the tea table and bellowed: What nonsense is this, I really do not wish to acknowledge him as an elder.
Mu Jinzhi shook his head and said: ”Don't be angry, our lives are extremely good now. No matter how much trouble he makes, it will only be in the tent, even if he wanted to abandon Eldest Aunt, I am afraid yang-ge would not allow it.”
Mu Rousang said: ”Hmph, back then when we were at the small mountain village, he was full of bad intentions, and now that we are together with that chrysanthemum, he is even more so. I do not agree to divorce the Eldest Aunt, as this is a good path to ruin the relationship between yang-ge and Feng Chai, let's kiss each other once, who would be willing to say such a family.”
”yang-ge and Feng Chao had some free money, so they rented a rice shop in Shu City, and transferred all the rice that they owned into the shop. They would earn more every year, and from the looks of it, the chrysanthemum family must have a bad idea, not to mention Little Rock was born to her, I'm afraid that she might want to steal the siblings' property.”
Mu Jinzhi was extremely worried, Mu Yun was truly a detestable person, his entire family thought that he had died outside, and never asked, who would have thought that once he grew old, his son and daughter would immediately propose marriage, and he would come again.
Mu Rousang suddenly thought of something, and felt that something was amiss, and asked: ”Brother, I see that this chrysanthemum flower is really a disaster, but I think I have to think of a way to cure her. Oh right, from what Feng Chai said, was it Mu Yiyang who took in two more concubines for Eldest Uncle?”
Mu Jinzhi's face was as cold as water, he said: ”The two people in front and one behind have typhoid fever, I heard that a baby is about to hit the ground.”
”What?” Mu Rousang was shocked, and immediately asked: ”How did the officials end the case?”
Mu Jinzhi laughed coldly and said: ”How can we resolve this case? Those two are bought girls and have no family to rely on. They just prepared a typhoid record and then were sent off with two scrolls. Oh, uncle is sad for once, but somehow, it has to be the Eldest Aunt's fault. ”
Mu Rousang said: ”When I was young, I still hated the Eldest Aunt, and when I was older, I started to look away. It was all because of poor people, and Uncle's heart was too vicious, leaving that chrysanthemum behind was a disaster, why didn't Eldest Aunt sell that person?”
Mu Jinzhi said: ”Little sister is confused, that's Little Rock's mother, could it be that even he was strangled to death?”
”Ai, what should we do?” Mu Rousang was a little worried about Mu Fengchai.
Also, you have to find a upbringing aunt for that Ju Hua and properly teach her the rules of etiquette. She is just a concubine that cannot be shown in public, and is relying on the love of her husband to destroy her wife. ” Mu Jinzhi was disgusted with Mu Yun and Ju Hua.
Mu Rousang was enlightened for a moment as she smiled: ”Brother, you can relax. I'll go find sister-in-law to ask for a palace maid, then send someone to give it to yang-ge, then borrow his hand to send it to Big Uncle.
After Mu Jinzhi heard it, he said: ”I will ask her for it, so that he won't be angry at you. Besides, we can choose from the palace and settle the matter about the chrysanthemums later, if she wants to stay, she will be the one to make the decision, if he does, he will be the concubine to Big Uncle. If he has children, let us juniors use some silver from the palace to buy some land for the two younger sisters, I think that he will live a long life.”
He had a headache coming on because of taking Mu Yun. This junior did not care about the seniors, and what Mu Yun did wrong, this junior did not know of his wrongs.
Mu Rousang said: ”Big brother, picking a palace maid who's at the age where she's supposed to release the palace isn't good, it's not good for her to be too young.”
