urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 238 Gifts
Now Mu Zhaozhao really doesn't want to work hard to be a housekeeper.

As far as she knows, there is no money in the public house, and the Xuanping Hou Mansion has not given out the annual gifts to relatives and friends yet?

It is conceivable that the current Xuanpinghou Mansion is a mess, so she is not willing to take over it?
Besides, when the new year is over, Qing Xiangying will also have to get busy with the weddings of the young ladies of the Qing family, and she must get the gifts back from her hands.

Then I have been busy for nothing, what are you trying to do?

If he wanted to be a housekeeper, Xuan Pinghou had to promise himself.

Guaranteed that Mrs. Hou will not be allowed to take over the feeder again.

The most important thing is to hand over the public property to himself, so that he can really take over the inner house.

But she also knows that Xuan Pinghou must not believe that he can manage a family well, after all, his background is not obvious.

Moreover, they have been husband and wife for so many years and have a deep relationship. If she easily takes over the gift, Qing Xiangying will blow the pillow breeze in the future, making Xuan Pinghou feel that she has bullied the person next to him.

So Mu Zhaozhao and Wen Nanny thought about it in private, and they both felt that if Qing Xiangying did something out of the ordinary and Xuan Pinghou couldn't bear it, then it would not be too late for him to take over.

Speaking of this, Mu Zhaozhao was very fortunate that Xuan Pinghou's family property was a Zhuangzi and shop that could not be easily moved, otherwise even if his cousin took over the Xuanpinghou's mansion now, it would be an empty shell.

Now at most, it is the Zhuangzi and the shop, and Qing Xiangying squanders her annual income, but there is no need to worry about her ruining the family fortune.

And Mu Zhaozhao's own dowry is quite rich, so he doesn't worry about running out of money, so he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and only makes plans after he has a child.

But Xuan Pinghou didn't know what his daughter-in-law was thinking. Hearing her words now, he was really satisfied and couldn't be more satisfied.

The main reason is that he himself likes that painting very much, and he felt a little bit reluctant after saying it.

But he was too embarrassed to go back on his word.

Now push the boat along with the flow, and said in a pleasant manner: "Zhao Zhao is still sensible and filial."

I still don't forget to tell my son: "Taking advantage of your rotation now, stay with your daughter-in-law at your mother's house for two days."

The corner of Qin Mu's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to say anything more to him.

You are on annual leave, but I am the Imperial Guard, so I still have to go in for a rotation, okay?

However, the father and son were not the ones who chatted together when they were free, so it was understandable that he didn't know this.

Mu Zhaozhao also found it funny when he heard it, but he still said softly: "Father, my cousin and his son are going to go to the palace to take turns. It's more convenient for us to go home and live here."

Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to take his imperial guard's robes to his natal home.

And if Xuan Pinghou heard about this from someone else, he might feel a little uncomfortable, thinking that Qin Mu didn't take him seriously.

Now Mu Zhaozhao still hopes that Xuan Pinghou can continue to maintain his swinging attitude, and doesn't want him to be too partial to his wife's side.

Xuan Pinghou was a little embarrassed when he heard this, forgetting that his son was not like him, he still wanted to enter the palace, so he could only nod his head: "That's all right, why don't you go get busy?"

"Yes." Mu Zhaozhao was just waiting for his words, she was too curious about what Qin Mu brought back from the bandit den.

In fact, Mu Zhaozhao is not a person who likes calligraphy and painting, and he is not interested in the dozen or so calligraphy and painting in the box, but he still cunningly left eight calligraphy and painting, and said to Qin Mu: "You can't often encounter such good things. Come on, maybe when you will need to walk around and give gifts?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Of course Qin Mu had no objection.

He also has a wife and children to support now, so naturally he can't use everything he has to honor his grandfather and them like before.

Of course, he spent a lot of time training in the Xishan camp before, and he never encountered such a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Even if he had been to the battlefield before, he didn't find any particularly good stuff.

Speaking of it, he took advantage of his grandfather's family more often. The horses of several people were worth thousands of gold, and his basic necessities before marriage were all given to him by his grandfather's family.

Mu Zhaozhao was also very happy to see him cooperate so much, he picked a few of his favorites from the rest, and prepared the rest to honor his grandparents tomorrow.

It has to be said that those who know the goods and those who do not know the goods really cannot be generalized.

As for Meng Taizu, when he saw the expression of the calligraphy and painting, it was like seeing a peerless beauty. He rushed over with a full of energy, and his face was intoxicated: "God, this is the "Five Bulls Picture" by Mr. Li from the previous dynasty. Can I actually see the real work in my lifetime?"

Meng Huichun also came over to hold it for his father. Of course, he could also take the opportunity to broaden his horizons.

But Meng Taizu slapped his hand away, disgusted: "Don't touch it, stay away from me."

Meng Huichun saw that his father turned his back on him, and he felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He was afraid that he would take over everything, so he quickly picked up another scroll of calligraphy and painting, which contained "Mrs. Guo Guo's Outing in Spring".

Unfortunately, this is not an authentic work, but it is also an imitation of a famous celebrity.

Brothers Meng Yu and Meng Rong had been playing with a bronze tripod for a long time.

Anyway, they knew they couldn't grab their own father and grandfather, so they didn't reach out.

What's more, the two brothers have seen it a long time ago. Among the five calligraphy and paintings, only "Five Bulls" is the real one, and the other "Mrs.

The other three calligraphy and paintings are not bad pictures of beauties, but they didn't catch their eyes.

Especially Meng Yu, he didn't dare to hang these pictures of beauties in his study, lest Wanniang would take a liking to him and think he was harboring evil intentions.

Seeing that they were all satisfied, Mu Zhaozhao followed his mother to see his younger brother.

Brother Jin is in a terrible situation now. He has been sleeping less and less for almost seven months, and he loves to make troubles. When he saw her enter the door, he quickly crawled over and hugged Mu Zhaozhao's leg. He climbed up to her and stood up, laughing and babbling non-stop.

When Mu Zhaozhao entered the younger brother with red lips and white teeth, he liked him very much, and wanted to hug him: "Brother Jin, do you still remember sister?"

Yu Wanniang didn't dare to let her do it, she picked up her son and handed it to the maid: "Wrap him tightly and send him to his grandparents."

The servant girl responded with a smile: "Young master, can you go outside and play?"

Don't look at Brother Jin who is still young, but he seems to understand the meaning of going out to play, so he immediately doesn't think the new sister who came in is fun, so he throws himself into the arms of the maid.

He cooperated very well and asked another maid to put on a big padded jacket for herself, and pointed out impatiently and made a fuss non-stop.

After they left, the room seemed to be much quieter.

The maidservant gave them refreshments and left.

Of course, what Mu Zhaozhao was given was a bird's nest.

Mu Zhaozhao asked, "Where's Brother Yi?"

"His grandmother doesn't seem to be well. Yesterday your father accompanied him and asked him to stay for two days before coming back."

Now that Yu Wanniang gave birth to her own son, she didn't treat Meng Yi badly. She made needlework for him herself, and took care of her daily necessities.

Before Meng Yi was holding her son to go out to play, she fell his son. The child's skin was tender and his forehead was red and swollen. She didn't blame Meng Yi, and she didn't let Meng Yi hold his brother afterwards.

On the contrary, Meng Yi himself was embarrassed to hug his younger brother again, because the mother-in-law next to him was left behind by the former Liu family, and he didn't know what she said behind his back, which made Meng Yi dare not hug his younger brother who was like a glutinous rice dumpling.

It was Yu Wanniang who sensed something was wrong, and sent her son to Meng Yi's yard by herself, and privately called the mother-in-law next to Meng Yi to talk to her, and now Meng Yi is getting closer to her.

Yu Wanniang chatted about these things with her daughter for a while before she sighed: "Hey, speaking of it, although Mrs. Liu didn't like me very much before, she probably knew that she couldn't do it. You came here specially to say good things to me, and even gave me a generous gift?"

"However, she really thought too much. Now Brother Yi is like a little adult, very sensible. I still hope that he can protect Brother Jin in the future? In the future, the Meng family will always want their brothers to cooperate with each other. Just help."

Mu Zhaozhao comforted her after listening to these parents' gossip: "Mother, don't worry, what about you and my brother and me? I will also ask my cousin to take Brother Yi out for a walk when he is free, and I promise not to let Yi Brother thinks crookedly."

Mu Zhaozhao still has no idea how big the Meng family's family business is.

But looking at the dowry that the Meng family prepared for him, he knew that he had been mistaken. The wealth of the Meng family was beyond his imagination.

She also understood a little now that Meng Yu still hoped that one of his two sons would take over the family business and the other could walk around in the officialdom.

But the younger brother is still young, Meng Yi has some talent in reading, but Meng Yi is the eldest grandson, the Meng family is probably looking forward to him being able to take over the family business.

However, Mu Zhaozhao was not prepared to talk too much, these were originally the family affairs of the Meng family, so it was better for him to be less involved.

Mu Zhaozhao asked, "Why didn't you see Second Aunt today?"

"She's gone back to her natal family," Yu Wanniang was also worried: "This winter has been extremely cold, and it seems that several elderly men and women of her natal family's relatives have fallen ill."

Then he touched his daughter's hand worriedly, and seeing that it was warm, he began to tell her: "You must wear more, you can't get sick at this time, or it will be harmful to the baby in your stomach."

"Oh, I see." Mu Zhaozhao leaned on her and yawned lazily.

Yu Wanniang was worried again, and asked in a low voice: "You two aren't together, are you? You can't let him go at this time, at least three months later..."

Mu Zhaozhao didn't want to hear this, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are not children, how could we be so ignorant?"

She would never admit that Qin Mu, a shameless person, had already thought about waiting until the first half of next year, which would be three months.

Yu Wanniang was too embarrassed to say anything more.

Anyway, her face is redder than her daughter's now?
She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I told your grandmother that I plan to let Brother Yi go to the Xuanping Hou Mansion to give the New Year's gift after he comes back."
