Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 227

The steward was taken aback for a moment, and murmured in his heart, could it be someone from Shijiao's mansion?After thinking about it, no, the banquet is about to start, everyone should be here, and besides, I have never heard of the name Muxian Mansion.Just looking at Mu San up and down, when he hesitated, another person came out from the gate of the mansion, and said, "Wei Shun, why did you come here? Didn't the housekeeper let you..." Halfway through the speech, he raised his eyes and saw standing Mu San on the side immediately greeted him, "Oh, shopkeeper Mu, when did you come here? If I knew that shopkeeper Mu was coming, I would have come and waited for you, brother?"

Mu Sangong clasped his hands, and said with a smile, "Brother Weitong, you are being polite, I will buy you a drink another day, and today I invite you to go in and let me know that the head mistress of the Muxian Mansion is here to celebrate her birthday."

Wei Tong looked behind him, and there was indeed a young woman dressed as a young woman standing under the lantern at the door, looking at them indifferently, obviously waiting for a while, and hurriedly saluted and said hello, "It's the little ones who are blind." I made Madam Xian wait for a long time, and I hope Madam will forgive me." After speaking, he gave Wei Shun a hard look, "Hurry up and report, and wait to be punished!"

Wei Tong is the nephew of the chief steward of the Wei Mansion. He has been in charge of the purchases of the inner courtyard. He has gained the trust of the two wives on weekdays. A person who can make him so respectful must not be a small person. He ran out of the door with cold sweat on his back, fortunately, fortunately, apart from being negligent, he didn't say anything out of the ordinary, otherwise today would be really unlucky.

In the hall of Fuyuan, where the old lady of the Wei family lived, two rows of seats stretched to the door, filled with wives from various prefectures who came to celebrate their birthdays, and the main room with family friends and subordinate officials, all looking for some festive words Or strange things heard in the market, jokingly told the old birthday star sitting in the right seat, Mrs. Wei was waiting on the side, and Mrs. Wei led a group of capable and clever maidservants to make snacks and tea, and the soon-to-be The banquet was being held, and he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground. Suddenly, he heard the little girl report that the mistress of the Muxian Mansion was coming, and immediately asked people to go in and report to the mother-in-law and sister, and then rushed to the second gate with a happy face. Take Mu Ai and come in.

"Sister, didn't you send a letter saying that you have something urgent to do, why did you rush over again? Mother-in-law and sister don't know how happy they are!"

Mu Ai smiled and took her hand, and said, "How is the old lady's health these days? Didn't you blame me for keeping Tao'er in the mountains so that she wouldn't even see her grandson?"

"My younger sister is always joking. We all wish you could detain him for two more years. Didn't you see that the last time Tao'er came back, the old lady pulled him and boasted that he was strong, and joked that when she waited If I have time, I will go to your Fengshui treasure to live for two years."

"That's good. Tao'er is alone, so I'll collect half a warehouse of good things. When the old lady lives in my place, I'll have to prepare an extra warehouse. Anyway, my sister's house and my righteous brother's place, I like it." The reputation of giving gifts to earn money is well known to the world, not to mention how loud it is."

Mrs. Wei Er was so amused that she giggled, and quickly covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "It doesn't matter if one warehouse prepares two, at worst, my eldest sister and I will go with us, and eat more good things from my sister. You must eat it." We have to be ten years younger, so that our master doesn't recognize us."

The two entered the hall while talking and laughing. Mrs. Wei stared at the door for a while, and when she saw her daughter-in-law taking Mu Ai in, she smiled and beckoned her over, and stopped her from saluting. She brought a bobbin chair over with a very winking look, Mrs. Wei personally placed Muai to sit on the old lady's right hand side, and then asked people to serve tea and snacks while laughing, "My sister has worked hard all the way, drink some The tea moistens the throat."

Mu Ai thanked her, drank half a cup of tea in one breath, and the old lady smiled and took her hand, "Girl, where did you come from, why are you so thirsty? If you really have something to do, just go Get busy, don't miss the job because of me, an old woman who is going to be buried."

"I came here by car from the village. I was really in a hurry. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let a few naughty children from my family come to celebrate your old man's birthday on my behalf. It turned out that things went well, so I rushed over to have some delicious food. The old lady has already You have been cheated of so many good things by me, so don't be stingy today, give me a bowl of longevity wine."

A few words made the old lady very happy, and she even said, "I'm willing, I'm willing, don't talk about a bowl, I wish you could keep it every day. My son and daughter-in-law are good at everything, but they are too bored." , how can you coax people like you."

Mrs. Wei refilled Mu Ai's cup of tea, pretending to be jealous and said with a smile, "Mother is so biased. When my sister comes, all the daughters-in-law will stand aside. When my sister leaves, the daughters-in-law will not accompany you Let's drink tea."

The old lady pointed at her and scolded with a smile, "See, I'm jealous now. They say old boy, little boy, my daughter-in-law is more tempered than me, girl, I'll go live with you in the mountains, my daughter-in-law I don't even pay attention to me." After speaking, several people laughed.

Everyone who was chatting in the hall laughed along with the fun, while muttering in their hearts, who is this woman who can make the Wei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law value so much? Could it be that she is from some duke's mansion?While looking at Mu Ai calmly, the upper body is a smoked veil Bixia shirt, the cuffs are embroidered with water-blue peonies, a few auspicious clouds are drawn out with silver thread, and a light concubine-colored winding smoke cage is tied underneath. The plum blossom and white water skirt, the long skirt spread out with a slight movement of the body, covering the golden butterfly fluttering flower embroidered shoes on the feet.There is only a jade hairpin carved with white magnolia flowers inserted obliquely on the low-hanging double snails. The pendants and bracelets on the ears are also extremely rare suet jade, which makes the whole person more dignified and gentle.Just looking at this appearance and bearing, it is not something that a small family can raise. However, they are all very familiar with the high families in Kao City, and they have never heard of such an outstanding woman, so they were a little confused for a while. .Of course, those who went to Xiao's mansion to have a banquet before knew it in their hearts.

Especially Mrs. Chu, who was sitting not far away, was very happy with her daughter's change in this period of time. Just now she listened with a smile on her face. Seeing Mu Ai coming in, she wanted to go up to thank her, but because of the crowd, she had to.

Mrs. Xu next to her saw her happy face and guessed that she must know Mu Ai, so she asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Chu, do you know the lady above?"

Mrs. Chu smiled, and replied, "I only knew her last time when I went to the Xiao Mansion for a banquet. She is the righteous sister of the eldest son of the Xiao Mansion, and also the husband of the young master of the Wei Mansion. She is really a strange woman with a chest. , a magical figure like a banished fairy. Didn’t you ask me a few days ago, how can I become younger these days? The honey holy product I told you was obtained by this lady from the mountain. She usually lives at the foot of the mountain If you don't go out easily, today is also the birthday party of the old lady of the Wei family, otherwise, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to see. Last time, she also entrusted Mrs. Xiao's son to come forward for the honey banquet."

"Ah, I'm really lucky to open my eyes today. Mrs. Chu will introduce me to this lady soon." Mrs. Xu stared at Mu Ai who was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Wei not far away, her heart was excited Extremely, she has been jealous of that honey for a long time, and during this period of time she has tried everything possible to send people to inquire, but there is no result. Today, she actually saw the rightful owner, which also moved her mind.

Mrs. Chu smiled lightly, and said perfunctorily, "Okay, if I have time, I will definitely introduce you to each other."

Mrs. Chen Feng just sat down and Mrs. Xu attacked. I don't know if Mrs. Wei Er was too busy and negligent, or the servants made a mistake. She was the majestic Mrs. Yin of the Huawangfu, but she was attacked by Mrs. Tongzhi, a little criminal. She was going to get angry , but thinking of her husband's vicious warning before going out, she had to hold her breath and sit down, and she didn't make a sound for a long time. Take the initiative to talk to her.

As a result, as soon as Mu Ai came in, she was warmly received by the three wives, old and young, in Weifu, and even Chu Xu and the two next to her praised her so much, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.Thinking of the honey banquet a few days ago, although everyone wrote the price on the note, whoever has the highest price will get it, but in the end, it was such a coincidence that I was the only one who returned empty-handed. I am afraid it was also caused by this hateful woman. What method, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was correct, all her anger was transferred to Mu Ai, her eyes were fixed on her, as if she wanted to eat her flesh and sleep her skin.

She was so shocked that the people around her moved a few inches away without any trace, and they were secretly expecting something she could do. After all, it wasn't about her. Who wouldn't like to watch it if it was free and exciting.

Everyone was chatting and laughing lively, Liniang helped a little girl's hand, walked in slowly from the door, saw Mu Ai sitting on the head, she came over with a smile, "Why did my sister come here, do you know Sister-in-law sees the child's hard work, so she came to help with her conscience?"

Mu Ai hurried forward a few steps, saw Li, supported her and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is so heavy, how dare my younger sister make you work hard, no, just after finishing the work, she came here in a hurry."

Liniang gave her an annoyed look with a smile, "It's not too bad. I just feel like I have a bad appetite. I'll fine you to stay a few more days and make me some light dishes."

"Okay, my sister-in-law has a life, so don't dare to refuse."

Mrs. Wei ordered the girl to add another seat beside her, and interjected with a smile, "I know that your sister-in-law is in a good relationship, so come and sit down and talk, and relieve my old lady's boredom."

Mu Ai supported Li Niang to sit down firmly, and then she smiled, "Okay, I hope the old lady doesn't get bored."

Liniang opened her mouth to speak, when she suddenly smelled the snacks on the small table beside her, she retched, Madam Wei hurriedly poured a cup of tea for her, and managed to suppress it.

Mu Ai asked distressedly, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you bring the sweet sauce I gave you last time?"

Liniang blushed slightly and said, "Well, that's all finished."
