Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 46
After Mu Changguang's explanation, Mu Qingwan also began to feel that two months is indeed not a long time, so she asked: "Father, how many noble people are coming? What are their identities? What do you like?" What are the taboos? Why don't you write me a list, so as not to make a mistake and everyone will be unlucky."

"Good boy!" Mu Changguang's eyes lit up. "It's hard for you to be so thoughtful. Dad can rest assured. I'll have someone write these down and hand them over to you later."

That is, although it is not her wish to work hard for rewards, she is supported by the money earned by Mu Changguang. She will not be like some lofty time-traveling girls who enjoy the glory and wealth while despising The person who earned her glory and wealth for her—as a person supported by Mu Changguang, she has the freedom to despise his personality, but she has absolutely no right to despise his means of making money, unless she no longer spends his money—and From the point of view of not spending his money anymore, she couldn't do it at all.

After talking about the nobleman's arrival, Mu Qingwan withdrew. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Mrs. Kang asked Mu Changguang, "Master, I heard that Bai Caiban has already mentioned Qingwan's marriage to you?"

Mu Changguang snorted and said, "I did, but I dare not agree."

Kang asked in surprise, "Why?"

Mu Changguang was impatient and glared at her: "For what reason, don't you know, you still come to ask me? Changyao and his wife brought Lu Senmu into the city on a special trip last time. What is the reason? Could it be that you are blind and deaf when you sit in the hall on weekdays?"

How could the Kang family not know the reason, but it was so easy to find a topic and wanted to talk to Mu Changguang, but he never wanted to be scolded, so he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Seeing her silence, Mu Changguang hated her more and more, and said in a low voice, "The matter of the Bai family is still uncertain. Bai Caiban only revealed that he wanted to get married, but he didn't say which son it is. It seems to be a fight between wives and concubines at home. , It’s not decided yet.”

Before the daughter-in-law enters the door, the future mother-in-law and father-in-law's concubine have already competed. No matter who wins in the future, Mu Qingwan will not have a good life after she gets married. Kang is very worried; Sen Mu is too bad. If such a person was not Lu's natal nephew, Mu Changguang would never have allowed him in.

Alas, it seems that Mu Qingwan's marriage needs another marriage, but Mu Changguang has her own opinion on this kind of matter, and she can't say anything about it.The more Kang thought about it, the more worried he became, and he began to sigh.

When Mu Changguang saw him, he was very irritable. It was a happy event to choose a husband’s house for his daughter, but how she made it look like a sad event. It’s really unlucky. He looked at Kang, and the more he looked at it, the more bored he was, he simply stood up and went out. .

At this moment, Mu Qingwan was in Mu Qinglian's west corner courtyard, watching her embroider a brocade handkerchief. It must be said that as a local, Mu Qinglian's embroidery skills were much better than hers.On the brocade handkerchief, there was a koi embroidered on it, with its head up and its tail up, so vivid, Mu Qingwan praised it sincerely, and then said: "Fourth sister, I'm here today to talk to you about the collar. You also know that our family has just changed the rules, and you are also supportive, and you are not the only one in the family, so the collar cannot be blamed by the public, otherwise everyone will get up, I can't stand it."

As Mu Qinglian listened, the needle went astray, almost piercing the flesh.She knew that Mu Qingwan would not be so kind. Sure enough, she was just making a good name in front of the shopkeeper of the jewelry store. When she got home, she revealed her true colors!She inserted the needle into the brocade handkerchief, and asked coldly, "Why, will Third Sister deduct the money for that collar from my monthly money?"

Mu Qingwan smiled and said, "Where did the fourth sister think, even though your monthly money is more than mine, I can't do such a thing."

Her monthly money is indeed more than Mu Qingwan's. Is this beating her in disguise?Mu Qinglian didn't dare to put on a cold face anymore, and asked cautiously: "What does the third sister mean?"

Mu Qingwan said: "I was thinking, the fourth sister is already fourteen this year, and she is not too young. How about this ring as one of your future dowry?" After speaking, she took out a booklet, Handed it to her: "The size, weight, size, type and size of the inlaid gems are all recorded on the collar. Come and see if it is correct."

Mu Qingwan's move is really clever... She included the collar in the dowry. Even if this matter was revealed, others would only praise the virtue of the eldest son of the Mu family, who prepared a dowry for her niece early on.Mu Qinglian stared at the booklet, speechless for a while, and said after a long time: "Third sister is not married yet, so she is worried about my dowry."

Mu Qingwan laughed: "My mother bought this ring for you, so how could it become a dowry for me to worry about you?"

She has really calculated all aspects!Mu Qinglian was furious in her heart, and asked angrily, "Is it also the aunt's intention to include the collar in my dowry?"

Mu Qingwan showed a curious expression, and said, "Whether it's my mother's intention or not, our family kindly bought the dowry for you. Why, Fourth Sister doesn't appreciate it?"

She actually took a bite back!How insidious!cunning!Mu Qinglian couldn't find any more words to refute, and immediately became angry.

She was able to prepare a dowry for her because of her good intentions. Otherwise, what good would an accomplice who killed the deity in the previous life deserve?Mu Qingwan put away the booklet, glanced at her, got up and left.

Mu Qinglian was so angry that she picked up the needle and poked it on the brocade handkerchief as if venting. When Hongxing saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and persuaded: "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, the rules are different now. The brocade handkerchiefs are all It was registered and recorded, if it is intentionally damaged, it will be difficult for you to get another piece!"

Hong Xing originally tried to persuade Mu Qinglian with good intentions, but for Mu Qinglian at this time, she added fuel to the fire, making her round her arms without hesitation and slap Hong Xing.Hong Xing's face was in hot pain, she wanted to cry but didn't dare, so she hurriedly withdrew.

Mu Qingwan left the West Corner Courtyard, went to the main room, and told Kang Shi about putting the collar into the dowry. I was worried about the big thing, and said: "I'm used to being idle, I'm afraid I can't take care of so many things, I will leave the items in the warehouse to you for the time being, and if they need anything, I will go to you directly to get it."

Is this asking her to act as the housekeeper?Mu Qingwan thought about it, so she nodded in response, got up and went back to her room.

In the east room of the west wing, Li Yueniang was cutting clothes, while Jinyu and Xiao Cui'er stood by and watched, one helping to pass the ruler and the other the scissors, with an attitude of respectful like an apprentice.Sure enough, in this era, a woman who is an outstanding female worker will always be respected and envied by others. It seems that it is impossible for her to want to be like this in her life.Of course, this kind of regret just flashed through her mind. If she really wanted to pick up a needle and sit and embroider all day long, it would really kill her.

Mu Qingwan walked in, stood to the side to watch, and praised: "In our area, it's considered pretty good to be able to embroider. I really can't find a few who can even make clothes."

"That's not true." Xiao Cui'er and Jin Yu nodded repeatedly.

Li Yueniang said: "What's so difficult about this, how about I teach you?"

Mu Qingwan shook her head again and again: "I'm clumsy, so I won't waste your effort."

Li Yueniang wanted to say more, Xiao Cui'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Our three girls are the most impatient with needles, even our wife has nothing to do with her, so I don't bother to care about her."

Mu Qingwan didn't refute, just smiled.

Li Yueniang said enviously: "That's how lucky you three girls are, others can't even think about it."

Mu Qingwan was afraid that while she was talking about the topic, she would talk about something that made Li Yueniang sad, so she hurriedly chatted a few words before retreating.

Aunt Luo was not at home, and the east corner courtyard was quiet; Mu Qinglian was hit because of the collar, so she stayed behind closed doors, and the west corner courtyard was also quiet. Such days are rare, so Mu Qingwan took the opportunity to write an article until It was late at night, and I just went to bed contentedly and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Kang yelled that there was a thief in the main room, and Mu Qingwan rushed over to ask, and it turned out that a pair of Mu Changguang's shoes had been lost.These days, because of the strange changes in the location of the items in the room, Kang has always been suspicious. Now that she really lost something, she was relieved. Climbed under the bed, took out the Tiger Jade Pendant, handed it to Mu Qingwan, and said: "It seems that our house has really been burglarized, we might as well lose our own things, only this jade pendant, I don't know whose it is , if you accidentally lose it, the owner of the owner will come to look for it in the future, and it’s not easy to deal with, so I put it with you for the time being, and you hide it.” After she finished explaining, she asked Xiao Cui’er to go to the yamen to find the owner of the stolen house. Tell Mu Changguang about the matter and ask him to report to the official.

What Kang said was reasonable, the missing item notice had already been posted, so this jade pendant should naturally be kept properly.Mu Qingwan took the jade pendant, put it in her sleeves and went back to the west chamber, opened a hidden compartment on the bed, and hid it in.After hiding the jade pendant, she sat down in front of the book case, picked up the time axis and flipped through it, and suddenly saw a short record on the top line, which mentioned the tiger jade pendant - the time axis said that in the previous life, the deity was broken The famous tiger jade pendant was also temporarily kept by the Kang family, but it was lost before Mu Changguang could find out the owner of the jade pendant.

Is the jade pendant lost in the end?And Mu Changguang's shoes were somehow lost... What kind of thief would steal only one pair of shoes?This matter is inherently strange...Mu Qingwan vaguely felt that there was some connection between these two events, but even though she looked through the timeline, she did not find that the jade pendant was lost, and what happened to the Mu family influences.

Since it has no effect, there is no difference between throwing it away or not throwing it away, Mu Qingwan thought so, and put the matter aside.
