urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 243

Xuan Pinghou is now also worried that Qing Xiangying will use the money again, and seeing her face suddenly turn white, he can't bear it.

But thinking of the stretched things before the Chinese New Year, which looked very much like the collapse of the Xuanpinghou Mansion, I added another sentence: "I will instruct the accountant to deposit 1 taels of silver to the bank first, and spend more than 300 taels of silver. Let me tell you, remember?"

This also prevents her from being unable to help subsidizing too much.

Anyway, Xuan Pinghou thought that he had done his utmost to the Qing family.

"Remember." Qing Xiangying was wronged, but she didn't dare to complain.

Xuan Pinghou said with an unhappy expression: "Also, when you go out to pay New Year's greetings, you should also bring your daughter-in-law with you, so as not to make jokes if you don't know how to address them."

"Yes," Qing Xiangying couldn't help but begged him for help: "Husband, can you help find a house? Otherwise, my father and the others have no place to stay?"

Xuan Pinghou thinks about it too, the Qing family is not as good as before, if he doesn't help, they may have to delay for a few more days.

It's better for the father-in-law to move out as soon as possible, so he could only agree and leave with a bad expression.

In fact, he doesn't want to care about the trivial matters of these parents at all, he just wants to chat with like-minded friends about poetry and songs, enjoy the flowers, the scenery and the beauties.

If Madam hadn't done too much before, he would never have cared about these internal affairs, how ugly would it be if it spread?

On the second day, Mu Zhaozhao heard the servant girl say that Qing's family had moved out.

Only then did she feel relieved, at least she didn't have to worry when she went to the room.

However, Qing Xiangying's mood was obviously a lot more gloomy, and after this year, she had a lot of time to socialize, and Mu Zhaozhao didn't want to be lazy, so she cheered up and went out with Qing Xiangying.

I'm afraid that if I don't know relatives and friends, I will make jokes when I meet them when I go out.

Anyway, Mu Zhaozhao didn't ask himself to be a blockbuster, but only wanted not to be embarrassing outside, and with the guidance of Nanny Wen, he talked less, smiled more, eat less, listened more and watched more, and acted cautiously.

And like her natal family, Cheng Engong's mansion, the Su family, and those of Qin Mu's colleagues, such as Commander Zhao and Yao's family, Mu Zhaozhao was required to prepare suitable gifts. To pay New Year's greetings, or to walk around by himself.

Fortunately, there were not many relatives, and they walked for a few days in a row. By the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the relatives outside were considered to be gone.

Today, all the relatives who walked around came to visit.

As far as Mu Zhaozhao knew, the Qing family also had posts to send, so I don't know how many of them will come?
Before going out, Mu Zhaozhao told the maids: "Today, you all have to be smart and watch over my grandmother, my mother, and the second aunt."

She also hoped that nothing would happen today, and An Ansheng would live.

I also hope that Qing Xiangying and Qing's family will be as sensible as themselves, and nothing will happen.

After all, if something happened at the banquet, it would be embarrassing to the Xuanping Hou Mansion if it spread.

But not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, she still told her maids to take good care of the Meng family.

The guests came one after another, and Mu Zhaozhao was thankful that the baby in his stomach was easy, and he didn't have any symptoms of morning sickness.

If she didn't believe that the Meng family would not fool her, she would suspect that she was not pregnant at all.

It felt like I had a fake pregnancy.

She greeted the female guests with a decent smile, while Qin Mu took Qin Yuexuan to welcome the male guests on the other side.

Qin Mu specially asked for leave today to stay at home.

All the Meng family members came here except Mrs. Meng, and Mu Zhaozhao didn’t have time to entertain his natal family today. Instead, he took Zhao Tong’s family, the Yao family’s, the Su family’s, and the eldest concubine of Cheng’en’s mansion with his natal family. arranged together.

Although the Meng family didn't have much official position, and Uncle Meng was a bachelor's student in the Imperial Academy, but these families used to move around during the seasons, and they didn't mind sitting together and talking.

Qing Xiangying felt very unhappy when she saw her.

Compared with the Meng family who can sit with the concubines of Cheng En Gong's mansion, their natal sister-in-law and niece can only deal with the wives present with a smile on their faces.

But even so, everyone's attitude was only polite, but not intimate at all.

In the end, she herself took her natal family to socialize, and finally seemed to have a happy conversation.

After the banquet started, all kinds of delicacies were served one after another. After changing the cups, the banquet finally came to a successful conclusion.

Mu Zhaozhao was worried all the time, and his spirit was tense. He felt that his face was going to freeze from laughing, and he didn't have any appetite to eat, so he continued to see off the guests.

For a banquet like this, the closer the relatives are, the more they will be kept behind.

It's normal to go back even after dinner.

But the elders who came to visit obviously didn't like seeing the old lady very much.

Because the old lady was jealous when she was young, she couldn't bear children by herself, and she didn't want to let other women have children. In the end, she could only give birth to the current Xuanpinghou, so that Xuanpinghou didn't have any brothers to help.

Even if everyone comes to walk around now, it's just for saving face.

Anyway, what Mu Zhaozhao heard the most today was that his relatives asked him to have a few more children so that he would not be alone in the future.

Ordinarily, the Meng family can stay for a while longer, but both the old lady Meng and the current Mrs. Meng Yu Wanniang felt sorry for their daughter who was too tired today, and asked her to go back and have a good rest, and they both left early.

After Mu Zhaozhao sent them away, Zisu came up to support her very cleverly and replied, "Shi Zifei, the Qing family and the second old lady next door are the only ones left in the house, why don't you go back and lie down for a while? "

Mu Zhaozhao responded: "It's fine, I'll go back for a while, you can go to Zixiao to find out what's going on with the male guest, remember to go to our small kitchen and bring hangover soup."

The hangover soup has a strange smell, and she is afraid that someone with a heart will put something in it that shouldn't be put in, and she may not be able to drink it out. It is safer to prepare the hangover soup in her own small kitchen.

Zi Su responded with a bit of shyness: "Yes."

Hongfang also came forward to help the concubine very cleverly, and winked at Zisu, and smiled badly: "Sister Zisu, why are you blushing? Are you shy about going to see your fiancé?"

Hong Xiu followed suit and joked: "Nonsense, Sister Zisu is obviously happy."

Zi Su stared at them in embarrassment: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She didn't dare to go up and beat them, after all, they all knew how to hit them.

I can only ask Mu Zhaozhao: "Concubine Shizi, look at them, they are getting more and more courageous, it is you who spoiled them, dare to say anything stupid."

Mu Zhaozhao smiled when he heard the words: "Okay, I'll punish them for not eating for you later."

After finishing speaking, he deliberately stared at Hongxiu and the others: "You two, won't you wait for your sister Zisu to leave? Be careful that she will go to Zixiao to file a complaint and let Zixiao beat you up."

After hearing this, Hongxiu hurriedly said: "Then Zhichun and sister Nianxia are helping us, we are not afraid of Xiao being in charge."

"Concubine Shizi, you are also teasing your servant." Zisu couldn't stay any longer, and ran away blushing.

Instead, Mu Zhaozhao let the maids support him, and slowly passed away to live in peace.

"Let's go through the plum blossom forest." Mu Zhaozhao looked at the gloomy sky: "Because it's not windy, snowy or rainy, let's go to enjoy the plum blossoms first, and pick a few plum blossoms and go back to put them in vases."

If it rains, it's okay, but if it snows, I guess I won't be able to go out for a few days.

The maids responded one after another.

Zhichun Nianxia and Hongxiu Hongfang are both good at kung fu, and after they almost had an accident in the Plum Blossom Forest, now they all wear daggers, and they feel that they won't be afraid even if they meet people who don't have long eyes.

They all understand in their hearts that what they lack is actual combat experience, and now they will practice duels sooner or later, and now they are eager to be offended by people who don't have good eyesight, so that they can try their own progress these days.

Therefore, I deliberately found a remote path to walk around.

"Concubine Shizi, there are people in the pavilion ahead." Zhichun walked ahead and was a little surprised to see the people in the pavilion: "It's the old lady and the second old lady talking in the pavilion."

When Mu Zhaozhao heard this, he looked up in surprise and saw two old men talking in the pavilion in front.

However, the old lady had an angry look on her face, while the second old man had a gentle smile on his face.

Not far from them, there was another woman standing with her eyebrows lowered.

This old sister-in-law is talking to her deceased husband's younger brother, so it is supposed that she doesn't have to gossip outside with the northwest wind blowing, right?
Besides, the second old man should be in the courtyard of the male guest now, how could he appear in the backyard?

And at their age, they don't need to avoid being suspected of being under the melon field, right?

Mu Zhaozhao paused, thinking that he also found out that the second old man and his family liked Qin Yuexuan more, and looked at Qin Yuexuan with kind and satisfied eyes.

He seems much stranger to Qin Mu, and often uses his status as an elder to ask Qin Mu to treat Qin Yuexuan kindly.

A bold thought came to Mu Zhaozhao's mind: Could it be that the old lady and the second old man had some secret plans?Or what do you want to do together?
Immediately there was a bit of schadenfreude, no matter what they wanted to do, now it seemed that there was disagreement and there was a dispute.

She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should go another way.

But I was also afraid that if I really changed my way, if they found out, I would think that I heard something that I shouldn't have heard, and that would be too wronged.

Before Mu Zhaozhao could decide whether to advance or retreat, the old woman over there accidentally saw them, and hurriedly greeted them loudly: "This old slave has seen Shi Zifei."

Saying hello, is actually just reminding the master in the pavilion above.

Now, Mu Zhaozhao didn't have to hesitate anymore, and continued to walk forward with his head held high and his chest held high by the servant girl.

The old lady also quickly suppressed the anger on her face, and said lightly to the second old man: "Okay, let's go, I won't promise you again, if you have the ability, you can do it yourself."

The second old lady also narrowed her eyes and looked at the concubine Shizi who was coming from a distance, with a gentle smile on her face, but what she said made the old lady tremble with fear: "Sister-in-law, we are already grasshoppers on the same rope. Even if you want to get rid of the relationship now, it's too late."

"If you don't help, then if we miss, don't blame us for what we shouldn't have said."

"It's also my fault that you were soft-hearted for a moment and wanted to keep Qin Mu, but now you have become a hindrance to my grandson's succession."
