urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 201 Doubt

Mu Zhaozhao left the old lady's courtyard with four maids, and saw the eldest lady from the second room also came with two women with serious faces.

Mu Zhaozhao just stood there, and greeted with a smile: "Why is auntie free today? Grandma just drank the medicine and had a conversation with me, and now she's rested. I'm just going to say hello to my mother, and my auntie is also here." go?"

She doesn't want to be called unfilial.

But knowing that neither the old lady nor Mrs. Hou would promote their reputation of filial piety, they had no choice but to brag about themselves brazenly.

She wasn't lying anyway, was she?

When the eldest lady heard her words, she knew in her heart that it was impossible for the old lady to really like the concubine, and she thought it was the old lady who took the opportunity to make the concubine sick, and justified her.

So he looked at her with a complicated expression: "The concubine is filial, it really makes things difficult for you."

"These are all things I should do." Mu Zhaozhao said politely, seeing that her complexion was not very good, he asked with concern: "Auntie's complexion seems to be not very good, do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?"

After finishing speaking, he walked two steps into her and reached out to help her.

The eldest lady took a step back and forced a smile: "I'm fine, I have something urgent to see my aunt, so I'll take a step first."

"Oh, that auntie will come to my house next time if she is free. I'm bored. If my younger sisters are free, I'll invite them to visit."

"The imperial concubine doesn't dislike them, so I'll let them disturb you." After exchanging a few words of greeting, the eldest wife left in a hurry.

After watching her leave, Mu Zhaozhao ordered in a low voice: "Zisu, you wait here and see how long the eldest lady will stay."

Ordinarily, the eldest wife was very taboo to visit the old lady because she looked not in good health.

Because patients are afraid of being overwhelmed.

Therefore, if you are unwell, you cannot go to see your elders, or you are not filial.

And there are four aunts in the second room, if there is something really urgent, it shouldn't be the eldest lady who looks bad to visit the old lady.

"Yes." Zisu replied, and did not forget to persuade her: "Concubine Shizi, why don't you go back first? Don't go past Merlin, it's too far away, who knows if there will be people who don't have long eyes? to surprise you."

"Understood." Mu Zhaozhao reached out and pinched her cheek lightly, and smiled frivolously: "Oh, where is this housekeeper from?"

Zisu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Concubine Shizi, you, how could you do this?"

Mu Zhaozhao laughed loudly: "Hey, someone is getting angry from embarrassment, let's run quickly."

Zhichun hurriedly said: "Sister Zisu, don't worry, we all have guys with us, and we will definitely be able to protect the princess."

Mu Zhaozhao took the people back to Shi'anju, walked around the spacious kitchen first, and said with satisfaction: "It looks good, we can start the fire ourselves at night, and we can eat whatever we want in the future."

Mint also smiled: "Now, sister-in-law and sister-in-law Lan can be considered useful, and frying, frying, and cooking have room to play."

"Yes," Mu Zhaozhao walked inside, and ordered her: "Let everyone in the courtyard go to the hall, and I will beat them later, so that they don't know who their master is in the future."

Now that she has the deed of sale, even if she wants to deal with them, she can be justified.

On the other side, the eldest lady begged to see the old lady with great thoughts.

It has been almost ten years since the two governments separated.

In the past, the people in the second room also lived in the Xuanpinghou Mansion, but later the second master proposed to separate the family.

But after that, the two governments got along very well.

But now the eldest wife doesn't think so.

If the sisters-in-law really get along well, how could the old lady insist on letting her mother-in-law come over even though she knew her mother-in-law was sick and couldn't get up now?
And my own mother-in-law, even though she was sick, the doctor said that she had a headache because of worrying too much.

But it's not that you can't get up, why don't you come here despite the old lady's repeated urges and invitations?
"Why is it you?" Seeing that it was the eldest nephew's daughter-in-law, the old lady frowned, "Where's your mother-in-law?"

The eldest lady said respectfully: "Auntie, mother, she suffered from a headache, and the headache was unbearable, so she didn't send it."

He glanced at the gray-faced old lady again, and said cautiously: "If you have any orders, just tell your niece and daughter-in-law."

"It's nothing to do with you." The old lady sneered a few times when she heard the words: "Go back and tell them now, if your mother-in-law can't come, then let your father-in-law come, and if your father-in-law can't get up, then let you Husband is here."

After speaking, there was another cough.

The eldest wife heard the resentment and dissatisfaction in her words, and her heart shuddered.

She doesn't want to know some messy truths now, and is worried that the more she knows, the sooner she will die, so she obediently responded: "Yes, I'll go back and pass on the message."

Zisu didn't want to keep an eye on her, so she simply ordered a woman, gave her a tael of silver, and asked what was going on in the mansion these days.

The mother-in-law used to do rough work, and it was only two taels of silver a month. After entering the mansion for more than ten years, it was the first time that she received so much money as a reward.

She really didn't expect the big maid next to the concubine Shizi to be so generous, and she immediately and courteously told the things of the past few days: "Girl, you are asking the right person when you ask me."

"Mrs. Hou is a filial person. She spends most of her days here serving the old lady."

"And the old lady is really kind to her sister-in-law. She can't get up when she is sick, and she doesn't forget to ask people to go to the second room to see the second old lady every day."

"Master Hou has also come here these days very diligently, and Xiulan and Fangyun also come here frequently, obviously wanting to take this opportunity to meet Master Hou..."

Zisu just listened to the gossip she said, and had to say that even she admired this woman very much and knew a lot.

After a while, I saw the eldest lady leave with a serious face.

Zi Su was not in a hurry to leave, and nodded to her after listening to the mother-in-law: "Yes, you know a lot, if you have any useful news in the future, please come to me, I will not treat you badly." of."

The concubine Shi Zi said before, let them see more about who can be used and who can be bought.

Anyway, they are not short of silver now, and this time they have ripped off 1 taels of silver, so it's okay to use it to sprinkle some.

That's why Zisu is so generous.

She also walked back quickly, and happened to see the maids and women standing outside the hall, so she knew that the imperial concubine was going to punish them.

She went in without squinting, and saw the concubine Shizi counting the banknotes with a look of wealth, the corners of her mouth twitched, not daring to interrupt her interest, so she stood by and watched her count the banknotes.

Mu Zhaozhao felt that the banknotes were very cute fairies, and she couldn't put them down. After counting them over and over again, she was sure that they did not miss one.

In fact, she wanted to count the bank notes as soon as she took them, but when she thought of Mother Wen's teaching, she could only cover up her eagerness at the time.

Saying that you can't show a greedy look outside, it looks petty, and it doesn't fit her current status.

But Mu Zhaozhao thinks, what could be cuter than a bank note?

Who doesn't like silver bills?
When I asked someone to take the box, even the old lady had a painful face, and Madam Hou couldn't hide her jealousy.

It is obvious that they also like silver, and it is impossible to treat gold and silver like dung.

After Wen Momo came in, she saw that the concubine was still counting the banknotes, and took a deep breath before she lost her composure: "Concubine Shi, are everyone outside waiting?"

"Oh," Mu Zhaozhao put the banknotes into the box with a look of reluctance, touched it reluctantly, and then said, "Mint, take it in and put it away, I'll deposit it in the bank another day."

With so many banknotes in the box, she was a little uneasy. If it caught fire, it would be a huge loss for her.

It's better to put it in a bank, or buy another Zhuangzi shop or something.

Mint responded with a smile, and then went in with the box.

Only then did Zisu recount what she had found out.

After hearing this, Mu Zhaozhao rubbed his chin with a puzzled look on his face: "Is the relationship between their sisters-in-law really so good? Seeing each other every day is like three autumns? Seeing people even when they are sick?"

The corners of Sister Wen's mouth twitched, she couldn't stand her wild thoughts, she couldn't bear it any longer: "Concubine Shizi, you think too much, but I think the old lady wants to see them because of something urgent."

"For example, it's Qin An's matter." After Madam Wen finished speaking, she thought that the two houses had given Shi Zifei 1 taels of silver, so Qin An's matter was over like this.

In that case, there is no need to rush to see the second old lady and the others.

Nanny Wen lifted her drooping eyes, looked at Mu Zhaozhao and said, "It might be because of the fire."

"Mommy is right." Mu Zhaozhao's eyes lit up, he looked at Zisu and said, "Go and get ten taels of silver, and go to the front to be a money-spreading boy. I want to know if there will be someone in the second room." Come."

Zisu responded, and went in to look for Mint to get the silver.

Now in the room, Mint is in charge of the silver, and Zisu is in charge of the expensive clothes and jewelry.

Mint cautiously hung the key around her neck, and saw Zisu come in. After hearing what she said, she readily took out a box from another box. After opening it, it was full of half money, a few dollars, one or two , Two taels of scattered silver: "Come on, take it yourself."

Zisu counted ten taels of silver and put it in her purse, then hurried out, a little regretful that she couldn't watch the fun, so she could only tell her: "Look carefully later, and tell me when I come back!"

"Go!" Mint put the box back into the box and hurried out. She also wondered if the Crown Princess would make an example of others.

Mu Zhaozhao deliberately left them alone for a while, and he and Nanny Wen guessed what kind of grievances and grievances there would be between the sisters-in-law before letting them in.

It was cold and windy outside, and the four delicate beauties, for the sake of demeanor, had no choice but to keep their temperature, just to appear graceful and graceful in front of the crown prince.

Helplessly, the prince is puzzled by the customs, and they rarely see him.

After finally seeing Shizi, Shizi didn't give them a chance to show off, they just turned a blind eye and didn't hear, and came and went in a hurry.

Now that the prince and concubine Shizi had come back, they were still hesitating whether to go out for a walk, so they were all called in and had a meal of northwest wind at the door.

It was hard to wait until mint came to let them in.
