Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 108

Su Jingning lay in Mrs. Mu's arms for a while before reluctantly getting up.

After all, it came quietly, so it is not good to stay.

Mrs. Mu couldn't bear to part with her granddaughter, so she still urged her to leave, saying: "Your uncle got up, we have to invite some people close to us to dinner when we return to the capital, and you will come with your father in two days. See you again."

Su Jingning was overjoyed, and immediately agreed.

Coming out of the Yulan House where Mrs. Mu lived, Su Jingning did not leave in a hurry, she pondered for a moment and went directly to the outer courtyard.

The servants of the Mu family looked at Su Jingning as if they were their own young lady, and when they saw her on the road, they would just say hello and didn't care where she was going.

She went all the way to the outer courtyard unimpeded and went straight to a small courtyard hidden behind trees in the corner.

There was no guard here, and the courtyard door was unlocked, Nian Qing took off the hasp on the door, and the two walked in.

Everyone in the world knows that Mu Changyun is knowledgeable, full of economics, and has the talent to govern the world and stabilize the country.

But few people know that his favorite is Zhuoyu.

Get rid of the dross, keep its essence, apply art according to its own shape, color and material, and give full play to imagination to slowly carve pieces of stubborn stones into beautiful jade.

He enjoyed the process.

Although it seems to outsiders that this is the work of a craftsman, some of them are not on the stage.

But Mrs. Mu was very supportive of her husband's hobbies, and specially set aside this small courtyard for him to use for carving jade.

Mu Changyun likes to stay here when he is free, when he is happy, and when he is irritable.

Although the rest of the Mu family didn't think there was anything wrong with his hobby, they were not interested either.

Only Su Jingning, the granddaughter, seems to have inherited his preference, and often touches her grandfather to see her jade carving.

However, she prefers seal cutting, and she only watches Mu Changyun busy on weekdays, and doesn't do it often.

But over time, she gradually became able to do simple things.

Yesterday she promised to make a hosta for Shen Lingze, so naturally she meant what she said.

But she didn't have tools at hand, so she thought of this small courtyard.

Su Jingning entered the room and looked around.

Although my grandfather has passed away now, the small courtyard still maintains its previous appearance. Inside the house, tools for cutting jade, such as water stools, mounds, and thread tools, are still placed in familiar positions.

The house was also clean, obviously cleaned frequently.

Su Jingning touched these tools reminiscently, but didn't move them, she just skillfully opened the cabinet door in the corner of the room and picked out some items she needed to use.

She had a rough jade hairpin from Hetian Biyu on hand, which she made when she was in Taixing Mansion, but after her grandfather passed away, she was too lazy to finish it, and she put it on hold.

This time she was going to give Shen Lingze the jade hairpin, she immediately thought of this rough embryo, and felt that if it was made out, its clear water-like color would be very suitable for Shen Lingze's gentle and elegant temperament.

And because the general shape of the vessel has been completed, Su Jingning only needs to carve and finish it, saving time and effort.

So this time she only took some small mounds, dried gourd slices for polishing, cowhide, etc., and asked Nianqing to wrap them up.

"Okay! Let me see what you are going to order again?" Mu Qing popped up from behind the door, and suddenly said.

Su Jingning's hands trembled in fright, and almost slapped the cowhide in her hand, and Nian Qing, who was next to her, also trembled in fright and almost cried out.

After seeing the person clearly, Su Jingning gave Mu Qing an angry look, and said, "I was almost scared to death by you, why is there no sound when walking?"

Mu Qing didn't expect to scare the two of them like this. She smiled embarrassedly and apologized to Su Jingning: "I was wrong! Sister Aning, don't be angry with me."

Su Jingning knew that she had a hot temper, she shook her head helplessly, and asked, "Didn't someone tell you that I'm leaving soon? Why are you here again?"

"I'm idle and bored." Mu Qing waved his hands indifferently, and went to look at what Su Jingning was holding, "What are you going to do?"

Su Jingning glanced at the cowhide in her hand, and said casually: "I have a rough embryo that has been left for a long time, take some things back and make it out."

Mu Qing lost interest immediately.

She pulled Su Jingning and excitedly talked about the Yurong ointment that she had sent to her, "I have heard its name for a long time, and I have always wanted to buy a can, but I didn't expect you to send me so many , I really love you to death!"

Su Jingning squinted her eyes and smiled: "Then you can use it first, and I'll see if there is any change in two days."

Mu Qing nodded again and again: "Wushuang will also come at that time, we can play together again."

Su Jingning also laughed. Mu Qing and Qin Wushuang are also familiar, and their temperaments are also very compatible. When they were young, the three of them often played together.

The Mu family's banquet was scheduled for five days later. It was very low-key, and only some of Mu Xiuzhu's colleagues were invited, as well as some people who were getting along well on weekdays.

The other party also replied to the post saying that they will definitely arrive.

It's just that this matter got wind of it somehow and was known to the Bo family, and the Bo family suddenly spread invitations to hold a plum appreciation banquet on the same day.

The people invited by the Mu family were all on the Bo family's list of guests, and the Bo family's embarrassing manager personally came to deliver the invitations.

This is obviously to slap the Mu family in the face.

Although the Mu family is weak now, Mu Changyun's influence is still there, and many people are still paying attention to the Mu family's every move.

Naturally, everyone knows the old grievances between the Bo and Mu families.

Besides, Yu Rui was impeached and sent to prison two days ago, and he was sentenced to exile because of the solid evidence, and the Seventh Prince also lost a lot of help.

Although Mu Xiuzhu didn't bring this up, he did follow behind to add fuel to the flames.

Presumably it's the combination of new and old grudges, the Bo family couldn't hold back their anger and deliberately wanted to embarrass the Mu family.

Now that the Bo family is openly fighting with the Mu family, people all over the capital are secretly watching the fun, but they suffer from the families who were invited by the Bo and Mu families at the same time.

After all, one is to be offended.

Han Hui is naturally included in this list.

Mrs. Han sadly took two invitations and went to the study to find Han Hui, "Master, where should we go?"

Han Hui had already made up his mind, took the Mu family's post and said with a smile: "Of course we are going to Mu's house, our whole family will go."

"Won't this offend the Bo family?" Mrs. Han was a little reluctant, "How about if the Bo family bears a grudge against our family because of this?"

After all, the Bo family is powerful, she still tends to go to the Bo family.

Han Hui shook his head and said: "Even if offended, you must not go.

I am the teacher's eldest student, and my teacher is very kind. If our family abandons the Mu family to go to the Bo family's banquet, it will inevitably bear the reputation of being ungrateful. "

Therefore, he had to go to Mu's house, and the whole family had to go, so that the world would know that he was a person who was not afraid of power and had deep affection.

What's more, the Bo family is now a bit big and attracts the wind. If there is a lot of response this time, it may arouse the taboo of the Holy Majesty, so he should not get involved anymore.
