The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 266
When the master and wife of Dingguo's mansion passed away unexpectedly, Mu Qingyu was still young, so he didn't have much impression of the Zhou family, the wife's natal family.

I just remember that there is a gentle and generous third lady in the Zhou family. Every time she comes here, Mrs. Qin has to tell her to learn from Miss Wednesday.

Therefore, Mu Qingyu was only impressed with this Miss Wednesday, and the others were not.

The three of them came to Mrs. Mu's place in a short while, and because they knew in advance that there were guests inside, Mu Qingyu restrained a lot.

Before entering, I heard a strange voice inside.

"Why hasn't Second Miss come back? I haven't seen her for many years, but I miss her strangely. She was the most beautiful among the group of girls when I was young. I don't know how she is doing now."

"Hey, if you want to say beautiful, your Yuanying is better." Mrs. Mu said modestly.

Mu Qingyu, who was coming in, frowned when he heard the word Yuanying.

Zhou Yuanying?Isn't that Miss Zhou Jiasan?
"Oh, Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, let me guess who is the second lady." Mrs. Zhou stared at the three ladies who came in with a smile.

Her eyes only stayed on the cowardly Mu Qinglan for a moment, then left, lingering on the other two.

Without hesitation, Mrs. Zhou stretched out her hand to Mu Qingyu, who was even taller.

With a strong hand, he pulled Mu Qingyu to him.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and looked at Mu Qingyu, as if she couldn't see enough.

The girl in front of her had exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and her own smiling face was reflected in her black pupils. Mrs. Zhou liked such a generous, open, and uncompromising young lady.

Mu Qingyu's hand was still in Mrs. Tuesday's, she saluted and said, "Yu'er has met the second lady."

Mu Qingqiu and Mu Qinglan who followed behind her continued to salute.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Mrs. Zhou smiled and asked the three young ladies of the Mu family to stand up.

The three sat down in order of age.

Mu Qingyu raised her head, just in time to see the strange woman sitting across from her.

It must be Zhou Yuanying, the daughter of Mrs. Zhou.

Zhou Yuanying's appearance has changed a lot, but her gentle and generous temperament has not changed at all.

Even with the growth of age, Zhou Yuanying became more and more calm, and her demeanor seemed to have been experienced in the back house for a long time, penetrating everything at ease.

Let her stand with Fang Shi, Fang Shi can't compare her.

Realizing that someone was looking at her, Zhou Yuanying looked over, nodded slightly at Mu Qingyu, and smiled back.

The small actions of these two people fell into the eyes of Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly asked, "Yu'er, do you still know Sister Yuanying?"

"I know it," Mu Qingyu said with a smile, "Sister Yuanying has an outstanding temperament, and people can't forget it just by looking at it."

"This kid has a sweet mouth," Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Mu. "These kids in my family are all clumsy and tongue-tied. They either don't like to talk, or what they say can make me mad. If there is one who can With Yuer being as clever, I can live a few more years."

Mrs. Zhou continued to flatter her, making Mrs. Mu laugh from ear to ear.

Who doesn't love a nice word?
It's just that Mu Qingyu listened to Mrs. Zhou's beaming eyebrows, as if she wanted to praise herself to the sky.

She didn't say anything nice.

Mrs. Tuesday must have bad intentions.

Mu Qingyu was a little wary in his heart, so he stopped talking, not wanting to be dragged into the vortex by Mrs. Tuesday.

"I think these three girls are not as good as Yuanying." Mrs. Mu said modestly.

Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Mu are coming and going, and the others can only sit on the sidelines.

It was Fang who interrupted and said, "Mother, Yu'er just came back from the palace, why don't you let her go back and tidy up first."

Fang Shi winked at the door.

Everyone looked towards the door, only to see Mu Qingyu's maid waiting at the door with her luggage in her arms.

"I was negligent and forgot what happened," Mrs. Zhou said ashamedly, "Yu'er, go back quickly."

"Wait a minute," Mu Qingyu looked towards the door, "Mo Zhu, come in quickly."

Mo Zhu came in with the box in his hands, and Mu Qingyu's burden had already been handed over to Miao Xiang.

Everyone's eyes fell on the red lacquer box in Mo Zhu's hand in unison.

Before approaching, everyone could almost smell the fragrance from the box.

Different from synthetic spices, this needle scent is the most original scent emitted by the wood used to make the box.

I don't know what is contained in such precious wood?
Mo Zhu walked up to Mu Qingyu with the box in his hands, Mu Qingyu took it, and put his hands on the case in front of Mrs. Mu.

"Grandmother, this is something my mother gave me as a reward. Sister Yuanying is also here. I want to take it out and share it with my sisters." Mu Qingyu said generously.

It turned out to be a reward from the empress.Mrs. Tuesday's eyes lit up immediately.

Mrs. Zhou looked greedily at the box, "It's a royal gift, Yu'er should put it away quickly."

Mu Qingyu insisted on opening the box, and what was inside were only jewelry that little girls would like, such as silk flowers of various colors, pearl hairpins, earrings, sachets, etc., nothing expensive.

This kind of reward is more like something that a close family member would give.

Although it is not expensive, it is a gift from the emperor, and it is enough to show off for a while if you pick up one and wear it.

Mrs. Tuesday swallowed involuntarily.

If it wasn't an imperial gift, it would be fine for Zhou Yuanying to choose one or two.

Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "Since it's for you, it's yours. Whatever you want to do with it is up to you."

"Thank you, grandma." Mu Qingyu said, pushing the box in front of Zhou Yuanying.

"Sister Yuanying, you choose first." Mu Qingyu said generously.

"Sister, you are being polite. It should be me, the older sister, who will give you a meeting gift. Why should I take it from you?" Zhou Yuanying gently declined, "Let the two younger sisters choose."

Mrs. Tuesday pinched Zhou Yuanying calmly, "This is Yu'er's wish, how can I refuse?"

Mrs. Zhou took a few glances into the box, and then picked out a lake-blue silk flower and a pearl hairpin.

"Thank you, Yuer."

Seeing her mother like this, Zhou Yuanying could only follow along and say, "Thank you."

Mu Qingyu then asked Mu Qingqiu and Mu Qinglan to choose.

Mu Qinglan was timid, she patronized and watched, but didn't dare to make a move.

Seeing this, Mu Qingyu grabbed a handful from the box and stuffed it into Mu Qinglan's arms.

Mu Qinglan blushed, and said timidly: "Many...thank you, sister."

Only then did Mu Qingyu put away the box, and took Mo Zhu back.

Returning to the place where he lived since he was a child, Mu Qingyu felt more relaxed than ever.

Unlike when you are in the palace, even if you rest, you have to be careful.

Only here can she truly relax.

Mo Zhu and Miao Xiang packed up their things, while Mu Qingyu lay on the couch without any image.

Anyway, no one will call her for a while, so it's better to sleep for a while.

Mu Qingyu greedily sniffed the familiar smell on the pillow, closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.

A burst of hurried footsteps reached her ears, and she had to open her eyes again.
