urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 223 Unrest 4
To be honest, although Mu Zhaozhao is a Xiaojiabiyu, he was also spoiled by his mother since he was a child.

She didn't have many opportunities to eat these quail eggs before, and they were also peeled by Niang or Mama Wu.

After entering Meng's house, there were more maids around her, and they were especially winking. It was really not her turn to do such a thing.

So now that Mu Zhaozhao heard that Qing Xiangying asked her to peel quail eggs for her, she felt a little worried for her.

I don't know if her stomach is in good shape?
In order to prevent her from eating the shells of the quail eggs, she peeled them vigorously. Although they looked a little bumpy in the end, she felt that they must be clean.

Qing Xiangying lost her appetite when she saw the potholes and the yolk of the quail eggs: "How can I eat it if you peel it like this?"

Mrs. Qing deliberately picked up the white, tender and smooth quail eggs that Wen Huitian peeled for herself: "That's because your daughter-in-law peeled too little, just let her practice more."

"It's still your daughter-in-law who is careful and capable." Qing Xiangying sighed deliberately: "It seems that I don't have the blessing of a sister-in-law."

Mu Zhaozhao is not happy now, he is willing to play the role of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with her, but she still wants to tear down her own stage, so don't blame yourself for not cooperating.

"It's all because my daughter-in-law is clumsy," she said, and waved to the maid next to her: "Mother thinks I'm not serving you well, so you come and serve me. If mother says you serve well, then you will be rewarded. If it’s not good, then it should be punished.”

Her voice was not low when she said this, and all the men at the table heard it.

But in the end, Mu Zhaozhao looked at Xuan Pinghou and asked, "Father, am I being unfilial?"

Even though Xuan Pinghou felt that his daughter-in-law was a bit stupid, he also felt that she came from a small family, and some rules were definitely not as good as those of a noble daughter from a rich family.

But as long as she doesn't cause trouble when she goes out as a guest, it's fine.

Besides, his daughter-in-law is still pregnant now, and he doesn't want his wife to let her set the rules at this moment, so he nodded with a smile: "It's okay, your mother loves you so much, why would she care about such a trivial matter with you, sit down quickly Shall I have dinner?"

Mu Zhaozhao was very obedient. Before he left, he took a bowl containing two quail eggs he had peeled, and sat down at the empty seat to eat.

She felt that she had lost her mind before. Anyway, she and the Qing family were rivals, so why should she give her mother-in-law face in front of them?

Qing Xiangying: This Mu Zhaozhao is too shameless, he is so clumsy that he dares to speak so loudly.

But she couldn't help but follow her husband's wishes, and was so aggrieved by being blocked, she really lost her appetite.

And Mrs. Qing's expression darkened, as if he was deliberately torturing his pregnant daughter-in-law.

Even if she thought so in her heart, she still wanted a fig leaf.

Therefore, he also waved Wen Huitian to sit down and eat.

Speaking of it, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She tried every means to get her son to hook up with Wen Huitian, who had a marriage contract with Qin Mu, because she liked that Wen Shangshu was a high-ranking official and could support her son.

Of course, it was also intentional to embarrass Qin Mu.

Especially after Qin Mu and Wen Huitian divorced, they married Meng Yu and then married the oil bottle brought in by his wife, which almost made her laugh a few more wrinkles.

Moreover, Wen Shangshu also set up a bridge for his husband, allowing his family to earn a lot of money in the grain and cotton business.

That really made her wake up laughing in her dreams, feeling that she was lucky to have the foresight to let her son marry such a good daughter-in-law.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long, and this success is also Xiao He's defeat.

Who would have expected Wen Shangshu to sell these grains and cotton to neighboring countries at high prices.

She also heard the frightening inside story from her husband. Wen Shangshu had a lot of collusion with neighboring countries. In addition to smuggling grain and cotton, he also sold a lot of forbidden items in the court.

Forbidden items are armor, swords and weapons, as well as important things such as salt and iron.

Who would have thought that Wen Shangshu would be so courageous that he would get his hands on almost everything, and now that he was found out, it's no wonder that he would end up copying and beheading his entire family.

It's thanks to Wen Shangshu's in-laws of the Qing family that he didn't trust them enough to keep them from getting their hands on these more lucrative forbidden items.

If they get their hands on it, I'm afraid they will end up with a lot of gangsters.

Therefore, Mrs. Qing felt that she was being tricked by her sister-in-law.

It's all because she didn't want to see Qin Mu marry a noble girl, so she forced her son to hook up with Wen Huitian. Now that the Cheng'anbo Mansion is gone, she is now ready to entangle the Xuanpinghou's Mansion.

As for not letting her son divorce Wen Huitian, it is because Wen Huitian is pregnant now. In addition, Wen Huitian also has a Zhuangzi with more than [-] mu of land, which is not recorded in her name, but in the nurse she released. under the name.

Fortunately, the Zhuangzi sent some green stem rice a while ago, so she knew about it, and because Zhuangzi was far away, no one knew that Wen Huitian still had this property in his hands.

Now that their Qing family has no property, they naturally want to get the 100 mu of land.

Furthermore, she also suspected that Wen Huitian had more than this property in his hands.

Moreover, given the current reputation of the Qing family, even if his son were to divorce his wife, it would be difficult for him to marry a better lady.

Therefore, even if she hated Wen Huitian so much, she still endured it.

After finishing their breakfast, the men went to the study.

Xuan Pinghou was in charge of idle errands in the court, and today Laba didn't have to go to Yingmao, so he could only go to the study to talk about the current situation in the court.

Anyway, recently the Holy Majesty ransacked all the people from the two prefectures, and the officials who were involved in it also ransacked to the end, and then ransacked their homes, so that there were many vacancies in the court.

Master Qing wants to ask Xuan Pinghou to ask for him, if his son Qing Haohui will be able to play in Enke next year.

Speaking of which, although the Holy Majesty is happy to copy the homes of corrupt officials to fill his small coffers, he still doesn't hire young and promising talents who have been copied for several generations like the previous dynasty.

The Holy Majesty also felt that down-and-out talented scholars who have experienced family raids would not dare to be too greedy if they become officials.

And children under the age of three who were copied and beheaded like Wen Shangshu can survive, but they cannot take part in the imperial examination within three generations.

The men went to the study, and Mu Zhaozhao also wanted to find an excuse to leave.

But before she could speak, Mrs. Qing and the others left first.

Qing Xiangying waved her sons and daughters to leave too, but Mu Zhaozhao stayed instead: "I have something to discuss with you."

"Mom can tell you sometimes." Mu Zhaozhao didn't think she could have any serious discussions with him, and his whole body instantly became energetic.

She had already made up her mind that if her mother-in-law asked for a loan, she would cry and beg, absolutely unwilling to beat a dog with a meat bun.

If she wanted her to have a banquet or something, she would refuse it with the excuse of pregnancy embarrassment.

Qing Xiangying asked people directly: "I remembered that the maids I gave you before are all idle. Anyway, you have a lot of people serving you, so just give them to me?"

Mu Zhaozhao's eyes widened in surprise: "What? Doesn't our house even have enough money to buy a few maids now? Mother, how can you let the maids around me?"

She didn't believe that Qing Xiangying really wanted her four maids, and when she thought about Qing Haohui's previous relationship with Yuhe, she immediately understood her intentions.

But now that Yuhe is in her own yard, if she goes to follow Qing Haohui again, she will panic when she thinks about it.

It is normal for the maid in the elder's room to be the housemate of the younger generation.

But if Xuan Pinghou wanted the maid in the junior room to be the roommate, that would be outrageous.

But when the maid under her name went to serve Qing Haohui, the thoughtful people would misunderstand that it was because her husband was away, so she had other thoughts, and wanted to make the maid a matchmaker?
The corner of Qing Xiangying's mouth twitched, she knew that Mu Zhaozhao was a dog who couldn't spit out ivory, but what she said was too ugly.

How could the majestic Xuanping Hou Mansion not have any money to buy a maid?
She could only say with a sullen face: "Then Yuhe is my sister-in-law's maid, and her contract of prostitution is still in my sister-in-law's hands. You let her come back to serve my sister-in-law."

Before, Wen Shangshu was very powerful, and Qing Haohui had bought Yuhe, a nobleman, and could only settle out secretly.

Later, Yuhe became pregnant, and they wanted Yuhe to tarnish Qin Mu's reputation, so they forced Yuhe to say that she was Qin Mu's concubine.

But he didn't expect that Mu Zhaozhao wasn't fooled at all, and instead let Yuhe be arrested by the soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi.

In the end, she asked her husband to help him get him out. Originally, she also wanted Yuhe to give birth to the child, at worst, she would put it on Zhuangzi to raise him.

Who would have expected that Yuhe herself would be unlucky and conceived.

At that time, Qing Haohui didn't dare to get involved with Yuhe at all, so he left him and asked his aunt to settle down.

But Qing Xiangying really wanted to create a problem for Qin Mu and Mu Zhaozhao, so she arranged for Yuhe and a few other maidservants to serve in Shi'anju, just to keep Mu Zhaozhao off.

Who would have expected that the maids and wives he sent would be useless, and if Mu Zhaozhao demanded their contracts of prostitution, the entire army would be wiped out.

But Yuhe is the only exception, her contract of selling herself is in Qing Haohui's hands.

Now that Wen Shangshu has become a dead ghost, Wen Huitian is nothing to worry about, and her sister-in-law doesn't want to wrong her son anymore, so she asks Yuhe to go back to serve her.

Of course, due to Yuhe's background, it is impossible to be a concubine, just a roommate.

Mu Zhaozhao screamed in his heart that it was terrible. At that time, he should not have taken over this hot potato, but now he made it difficult for him.

She also didn't want to embarrass her head, and said with a smile: "Mother, I have to go back and ask Yuhe if she is willing. After all, she is now my maidservant, and I can't live without her."

This must be a lie, I still have to use Mother Wen, Zisu and Mint, Zhichun and Nianxia, ​​and Hongxiu and the others.

As for Yuhe and the others, some of them are now making snacks with the sister-in-law and others, and some are also doing needlework. It's not their turn to enter the house to serve?

She can't make up her mind now, so she has to go back and ask Mother Wen.
