Prosperous advisors

Chapter 9
Old Mrs. Mu gritted her teeth, hating iron for being weak and said: "Do you think that if the Zhang family and the Gu family are defeated, you can mess around? Don't forget, the fourth girl's surname is Mu, not Zhang. What outsiders see is The daughter of the Mu family, even if the Zhang family is in decline, you treat her granddaughter harshly, what kind of reputation do you think this is? If it weren't for the support of the concubine Rou and the prince of Ping'an County, it would be based on the current behavior of the Sun family. , Those literati can drown you with a single spit." In the past few years, just after the murder of the Gu family, those literati have also restrained themselves a lot.Otherwise, no matter how strong the backstage of the Suchenghou Mansion was, they would have been impeached long ago.

Mu Changming smiled apologetically, "Mother, my son knew he was wrong. Die'er...she couldn't swallow that breath, so..."

Mrs. Mu sneered and said: "She can't hold her breath? Did Mrs. Zhang treat her harshly when she was alive, or did she feel sorry for her? With her background, what right does she have to hold her breath? Then why doesn't she let her breath out?" From me, an old woman? You spoiled me, and I'm getting more and more frivolous! I can't hold my head up in front of those old sisters."

Mu Changming looked at Mrs. Mu strangely and said, "Mother, you today..." It was too sudden for her mother to stand up for Qingyi. If she really loved this granddaughter or was worried about the reputation of the Suchenghou Mansion, her mother would have It's time to talk and I won't wait until today.

Mrs. Mu sighed, looked at Mu Changming and shook her head and said, "Si Yatou is going to be sixteen soon. Ordinary people should be engaged long ago. Originally, Si Yatou has such a temperament, I just look for someone who is similar to marry That's all. But this time... I don't think this girl is scheming. Her status is enough, she might not be worthy of a good family."

"But the Gu family..." Mu Changming frowned.Mrs. Mu glared at him and said, "I told you, her surname is Mu, not Zhang, and she has nothing to do with the one surnamed Gu!"

Mu Changming was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it, just listen to mother."

Mrs. Mu snorted softly and said, "Go back and tell the one who is favored by you, let me know a little bit of propriety for the old man. Don't just do some low-level things that are not on the stage."

"Yes, my son remembered."

The news that the Fourth Miss moved back to the original Lanzhi Courtyard from the most remote small courtyard that couldn't even be named in the original mansion quickly spread throughout the Suchenghou Mansion.The servants were secretly discussing whether the fourth lady was going to stand up and regain the favor of Lord Hou and the old lady.After all, even if Miss Fourth is not favored any more, she is still the daughter of Mrs. Qin Guo, the original wife of Su Chenghou, and it stands to reason that she is the most noble blood of Su Chenghou's mansion.But most people are still not optimistic about Miss Fourth. After all, Mrs. Sun's influence in the mansion has already been deeply rooted. Although the old lady is suppressing her now, how many years can she live at her age?Moreover, even Mrs. Mu would not dare to slap Concubine Rou in the face easily.

Mu Qingyi didn't go back to the small courtyard, but went directly to Lan Zhiyuan.Lan Zhiyuan is still exactly the same as when I came to Suchenghou's Mansion many years ago. Although Sun moved his cousin out of Lan Zhiyuan, he did not dare to let his daughter live in it.Looking at the familiar scenery in front of me, I can only sigh in my heart.

Zhu'er followed behind Mu Qingyi, looking around curiously.She only entered the mansion after Mrs. Zhang passed away. By the time the young lady was waiting for her, the young lady had already moved out of the Lan Zhi Yuan, so she had never entered the Lan Zhi Yuan.This Lanzhi Courtyard is indeed worthy of being the place where the only concubine of the Hou Mansion lives. It is elegant and meticulous everywhere, and even the area is at least three times that of the small courtyard they lived in before.

Lan Zhi's courtyard was cleaned very clean and arranged very carefully.Originally, this was the place where Mu Changming prepared for Mu Yunrong to marry. In addition to the original items of Lanzhi Courtyard, the furnishings inside also added a lot of new things. Naturally, these are now cheaper than Mu Qingyi.You don't even need to tidy up, you can move in directly.All that is needed is for someone to go back to the small courtyard to bring things over. There were not many things in the first place, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Sitting in a chair by the window, looking at the familiar scenery outside.Thinking of how distraught Mu Yunrong would be when he came out of the ancestral hall after kneeling, he couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.

"Yi'er, what's so happy about it?" A male voice with a smile came from outside the door.

Mu Qingyi frowned slightly, looked back at the visitor and said, "Brother."

It was Mu Chen who came.Mu Chen is already 23 years old this year, and he looks handsome.But Mu Qingyi was not familiar with him. She used to be the concubine of the Xiangfu, so she didn't have to pay attention to a concubine of the Houfu.And Mu Chen is not a well-known figure, so naturally she would not hear any news about him in the brothel.

"Congratulations to Fourth Sister for moving to a new home." Mu Chen walked in and smiled, handing over a brocade box casually and said with a smile: "This is a congratulatory gift for Fourth Sister, please don't dislike it."

Zhu'er took the brocade box and brought it to her. Mu Qingyi opened it and saw that inside was a red hairpin and a 50 tael silver note.Picking up Zhu Chai and looking at it, Mu Qingyi said with a slight smile, "Zhu Chai from Rumengfang, big brother is really generous. Qingyi thanked big brother."

"Fourth sister has a good eye." Mu Chen laughed. "In the past, the older brother saw that the fourth sister didn't like to move around, so he didn't bother me. If there is anything about the fourth sister, just ask someone to tell the elder brother."

Mu Qingyi nodded and accepted Mu Chen's gift, and said with a smile: "Okay, Qingyi will definitely go to look for elder brother when the time comes, as long as elder brother doesn't find Qingyi annoying." Mu Chen said with a smile: "Fourth sister just joked, Speaking of which... Fourth Sister is really different from before."

Mu Qingyi looked calm, raised his hand to touch the back of his head, sighed softly and said, "Change and not change, it's just a thought." Mu Chen's expression was also whole, nodded and said: "Fourth sister, take care of your wounds, wait Hello, brother, I will see you again."

After finishing speaking, Mu Chen didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.

Zhu'er looked at the brocade box on the table curiously, and said, "Miss, why did the eldest son come to see you? And he gave you such a heavy gift?" Mu Qingyi played with the red hairpin in her hand and said with a smile: "The world Xixi, it's all for profit. The world is full of hustle and bustle, it's all for profit. Big brother gave me such a heavy gift, so he naturally hopes that I will return an even heavier gift."

Zhu'er was at a loss, unable to think of what they could send back to the eldest son.Together, their masters and servants can only collect ten taels of silver at most, so they can't give the eldest son the decorations of Lan Zhi Yuan, right?

Ignoring Zhu'er's bewilderment, Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and said with a slight smile, "Brother can see clearly, and he's not timid, but he just doesn't know..." He just doesn't know if he's smart enough.It is certain that Mu Chen has one, but Mu Changming has three sons and four daughters, and the most outstanding son and two daughters are all from the Sun family.Mu Caiping, the second daughter of a concubine, is already married.There is also a younger brother, Mu Ke, who is only 11 years old.If Mu Chen wanted the position of Marquis Su Cheng, he could only choose to cooperate with her.Otherwise, just wait for Mu Ling to inherit the title in the future, and completely trample him underfoot.
