Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 168 Chun Qiao Enters Mu's Mansion

"How long has it been since Wen Ze went to your room?"

As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, the old lady paused in an ugly manner.

"There is only one male, Haoxuan, left in your long house. If you are young, it would be easy to raise him by your side, but now that you understand everything, there is still a gap in the end if you forcefully pull him over."

The eldest lady forcibly suppressed the strong unwillingness in her eyes, and acted obediently, "The old lady means that you want to take a concubine for the master?"

"The building will collapse, and the population must be low first. It's time to add more people to the mansion." The old lady said slowly, gossiping, "After all, you are the head of the house, even if you come in, it's just a few A man at your beck and call."

"If a child is born in a year and a half, if it's a boy, you can take it to the house and raise it. If there is another girl, can't the Mu family afford the dowry?"

The lady was obedient, and the palms clinging to her legs were already clenched into fists. The strong humiliation was torn in her heart, causing the sweet blood to permeate her mouth in an instant.

The old lady glanced at the eldest lady lightly, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "You don't have to think that this is a disgrace to your face, maybe even that year or a half is not enough."

Slowly, the old lady pulled out the stiff fist of the eldest lady from the bottom of her sleeve, "Always remember that you are the mistress of the Mu family. It doesn't matter if there are more aunts, half a servant, you can keep it." Can't help it, no, it still depends on the face of the mistress."

"And the girl whose tongue was cut off, you'll be able to give birth to it, because nature does not produce useless talents, maybe one day, you will use them?"

The Da Furen's eyes were slightly startled at first, then the brows gradually tightened, and then a stern look pierced the dullness in her eyes...

a few days later.

The feeling of spring became more and more obvious, the snow gradually melted at some point, the willow branches spit out tender green shoots, the swallows chirped on the beams, and there was a burst of vitality everywhere.

Under the eaves, Aunt Song raised her head and stretched her stiff neck, pinned the embroidery needle aside, and looked at her embroidery worker in the sun with satisfaction.

"The embroiderer, Auntie, really didn't say anything, she was alive and well, and the servants followed her for several days, but they couldn't learn the skills of Auntie."

Bizhu stared at Aunt Song's half-embroidered mandarin duck purse with envy on her face. Compared with the embroidery in her hand, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that it was not as fresh as others.

Suyu only liked to dance with guns and sticks. When Bizhu and Aunt Song were doing embroidery together, she simply dozed off with her chin resting on the side.

"I don't have anything to do these years, I've spent all my time on these things." Aunt Song smiled, "Second Miss, look, how good is this?"

Mu Changge, who was practicing calligraphy at the side, looked up and said with a smile: "No wonder Bizhu praised that my aunt's embroidery skills, even the top embroiderers in Bai'an are not half as good as my aunt."

"It's good to catch the eyes of the second lady. Originally, this was also embroidered for the second lady."

Aunt Song held her own embroidery with a gentle smile.

"I don't have much to show for it. I can only see this little embroidery work. It's just to buy a few worthless dowries for the second lady in the future."

Ever since Mu Junru was gone, Aunt Song couldn't help but shift her thoughts about her daughter to Mu Changge, and she always came to sit in Qiancui Courtyard from time to time, sometimes she didn't even say a word, she just sat quietly on the sidelines Embroidery work.

After receiving the red bean soup that Bi Zhu brought forward, Aunt Song said again: "I heard that these days, Da Furen's body is getting worse day by day."

"Although Yan Zhi is still working by her side, it is inconvenient to lose her tongue. I heard that the old lady is sympathetic to the eldest lady, and asked the eldest lady to put someone by her side, and let her choose. In the end, guess what?"

The sweet fragrance of the red bean soup permeated the air, making the Qiancui courtyard a warm one.

"I don't know if the eldest lady is worried. I'm afraid that the servants in this mansion have turned their backs. Even the old lady doesn't want the servants around her. She must find another servant from outside. The second young lady is afraid this time." I can't guess who she is looking for."

"Who can I look for?" Mu Changge took a bite of the soft red beans, "It may not be possible to find the dead mother Gu."

"Second Miss was joking. It is impossible for a dead person to come back, but the person whom the eldest lady is looking for really has a close relationship with Mama Gu. I heard that it is Mama Gu's youngest daughter, Chun Qiao. "

Mu Changge smiled, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

Da Furen is not reconciled now, if she is not reconciled, she will only have anger and hatred, how can she be so afraid that even the original servants of Mu Mansion dare not use it?

"Auntie, do you know what kind of person that Chun Qiao is?" Mu Changge asked.

"After listening here and there for the past few days, I know the general idea. I heard that she is about the same age as Da Furen, so it should not be much different from Mama Gu."

When this person was mentioned, Aunt Song was quite indifferent, and Mu Changge's eyebrows gradually tightened, a drop of ink condensed on the tip of the pen, trembling, quietly, and stained the paper that was about to be written.

She really had to guard against every move the eldest lady made...

She deliberately wanted to pay attention to Chun Qiao, who would have thought that after a few days, Chun Qiao would come to her door by herself.

When seeing Chun Qiao for the first time, Mu Changge was quite surprised.

The Chun Qiao mentioned by Aunt Song was similar in appearance to that country woman, but the Chun Qiao in front of her was clearly different.

Chun Qiao's age was far from that of Da Furen, and she looked only a few years older than Mu Changge.

As for the appearance, she couldn't see even half of Gu's mother's appearance. She had a very beautiful oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows and cherry mouth, a pair of slender eyes that were watery, and the corners of the eyes were slightly raised, which was quite charming.

Chun Qiao's appearance can even be regarded as superior, if the girl next to her was born with this appearance, she would definitely prefer to dress up, but Chun Qiao just doesn't.

Her dress, so plain, was almost dull, covering up her natural style.

"You are Mama Gu's daughter?"

"Second miss, the maidservant's mother is indeed Gu's mother who once worked for the eldest lady." Chun Qiao's answer was still a little awkward, and when she opened her mouth, her face was flushed a little unnaturally.

"Madam is kind and merciful. Knowing that the life of the servant is difficult, and thinking about the old relationship with the mother, she took the servant into the mansion."

As she spoke gracefully, Chun Qiao knelt down on the ground with a thud, her expression full of fear, "This servant is new here, and I don't know any etiquette. If there is something that offends the second lady, please forgive me. Don't worry." Don't let Madam drive the slaves back!"

Kneeling, the kneeling Bizhu was stunned, and when she looked again, there were tears in Chunqiao's eyes, and she hurriedly pulled her, "What are you doing, our lady has scolded you!? Let others see It's gone, what does it look like!"

Bizhu was weak, and Suyu couldn't stand it any longer, so she stepped forward and lifted her up, "The eldest madam asked you to deliver this month's rouge and gouache to the second miss, and when you come back for the first time, you will cry and cry. what?"

"Slave, slave..."

Being robbed by these two people, Chun Qiao was already trembling, but she became even more at a loss, her face was flushed red, as if tears were about to roll down.

"Forget it, you two, there's no need to embarrass her like this." After Mu Changge stopped her, he took another deep look at Chun Qiao, "Don't blame them, it's normal for newcomers to not understand the rules, but you have to remember , in this mansion, I don't like to hear people crying."

Before Mu Changge could finish his sentence, Chunqiao's tears had already rolled down, and she didn't dare to wipe it with her hand, she only bit her lip, and said in a trembling and soft voice, "Thank you for the instruction, Miss Er, this servant has already written it down."

"Just write it down, wipe your face, and go back to your errands. The first errand your mother arranged for you, it's not too late to go back."

"Thank you, Second Miss." Chun Qiao saluted again respectfully, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, she smiled at Mu Changge in embarrassment.

"Why do you look at me, she doesn't look like she's here to be a maid." As soon as Chunqiao left, Bizhu frowned, "He looks like a maid here, and she didn't suffer any grievances, so she burst into tears. This pie is on par with someone else's young lady."

Suyu clasped her arms around her chest, "My servant has inquired about it. Mama Gu was with the Da Furen earlier. Although she took a lot of money, she couldn't stand the fact that there is a son in a medicine pot at home."

"All the money Gu's mother earned over the years was spent on the sick young man. After Gu's mother was gone, the family began to sit and eat. Her husband was idle all day long. When his son died of illness, he would sell Chun Qiao to her. In the kiln."

In the end, it was naturally not sold, and the decision made by the lady this time was a coincidence. If she had missed even one step, Chun Qiao would now have to live a life worse than pigs and dogs in those kilns where traffickers and pawns would go.

Unwrapping the newly delivered incense powder, Mu Changge sniffed it lightly, "No wonder she is so afraid of being kicked out."

After speaking, Mu Changge raised his eyes to look at the two people in front of him again, "Tell me what you think of this Chunqiao."

Bizhu and Suyu looked at each other, and then, Bizhu said: "Look, servant girl, it doesn't look like Mama Gu is as scheming as she is."

"Slave..." Suyu also opened her mouth, but just as soon as she opened her mouth, she encountered difficulties, "Miss, don't make things difficult for your slaves. Slaves are not born with discerning eyes. If you want to know something, your slaves will go and stare at you." Follow her."

"You can predict the future." Mu Changge smiled, and then said in a deep voice, "Chunqiao, you must investigate carefully, especially when it is related to the eldest lady or the old lady."

"Yes, miss, the servants have written it down." Just as Suyu finished answering, she thought of something and snickered a few times, "It's a good thing that the servants are watching. .”
