Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 334

The old lady in the middle didn't wait for her to speak, and immediately took the lead in saluting, "Sanpin ordered the Cheng family of the Yang family to welcome Mrs. Xian!"

Mu Ai stared at the old lady who bowed her head and saluted for a moment. She was afraid that people would think that she was oppressing others with her status, so she took care of her clothes in every possible way. She didn't expect to receive a big gift from the old lady just after entering the door. Could it be that this is an official? People's prudence, don't give people a chance to talk.

She hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady with both hands and said, "What is the old lady in-law doing? It's going to kill me. Only juniors greet elders. How can there be rules for elders to bow their heads?" The old lady gave a junior gift.

The old lady immediately helped her up, with a smile on her face, "Madam Xian is not allowed, our two families are married, but the imperial court rules are there, how can you violate it casually?"

Mu Ai smiled and said, "The old matriarch is just joking, I am a junior to show respect to the elders, why should I still be arrested and sent to prison, besides, this mansion is the governor of Yang's mansion, if you really want to arrest me, the old majesty will also have to protect me Follow me."

The old lady was amused and laughed, this time the smile reached her eyes, not as polite and perfunctory as before.

At first, she murmured in her heart about Mu Ai, a lady of the first rank, who came to visit. If Mrs. Chu came to visit, the two families were of the same rank, and there was no taboo, but now it happened to be a rank one, who was two ranks higher than her. Well, if she really puts on airs, no matter how old she is, she can only stand in front of others.

Therefore, as soon as Mu Ai entered the door, she tried to show courtesy, but found that he had no intention of suppressing her at all, and was still so polite, with the attitude of a junior, kind and funny in words and deeds.

So, I fell in love with it in my heart, and hurriedly brought a group of daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to invite Muai, mother and daughter, and walked around two small courtyards all the way to a slightly larger courtyard.

A little maid opened the door long ago, and a group of people entered the hall and sat down according to the guest of honor.Mu Ai asked Xinger to meet the crowd again, and the old lady also pointed out several women who had seats, and introduced them to Mu Ai one by one.

The middle-aged lady with a slightly fat body, luxurious clothes and jewelry, and a very kind face is Yi'er's genuine mother-in-law.The thin, withered, slightly mean lady she started with was the old lady's second daughter-in-law.The two young women covered in gold and jade sitting next to Yi'er are the other two granddaughters-in-law of the old lady.

Of the five people present, except for Yi'er, there are three or four young and beautiful women standing behind each of the four mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who should be aunts and concubines in their respective rooms.Mu Ai lowered her head and frowned, and when she raised her head again, she still smiled gently.

Accompanied the old lady to talk a few words about the local conditions and customs of Huawang City, what I saw and heard on the road. I am very envious of the beautiful scenery all over the world, and I can't help but ask a few questions.

In addition, the business has expanded in the past few years, and the escort team of the Sun Mansion often travels in various cities, so it is much more convenient to communicate and deliver things. Mrs. Chu and Mu Ai both sent many good things to Yier, and the big family The relationship is complicated, Yi'er will inevitably give away most of them to honor the elders and make good friends with sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law. Everyone has lived a lot, eaten well, used well, and became more curious about the Muxian Mansion, asking a few more questions from time to time, For example, honey is really made by small flying insects on the holy mountain?How do apples grow?

Therefore, the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious for a while.Mu Ai's rare long-sleeved dance skills make all the female relatives want to regard her as a bosom friend.Of course, there is an unchanging law in the world, one cannot befriend everyone at the same time.This law also failed to be broken by Mu Ai, and the second wife, the second daughter-in-law of the old lady, was not included in these female relatives.

I don't know why she is doing it, but Mu Ai is not pleasing to the eye, no matter how happy everyone is saying, she will throw a cold word from time to time, which makes the old lady stare at her frequently, and she doesn't pretend to see it .

Mu Ai sighed, this should be Yi'er's mortal enemy in this big family, the kind of natural nemesis that no matter what benefits are promised or how to resolve it, it is difficult to get along well.Now that she represents her mother's family, she is so arrogant. She still doesn't know how to embarrass Yi'er on weekdays. She is a teenage girl who knows how to report good news and not bad news. Madam Chu probably doesn't know at all, right?

Everyone was talking about a few days ago when a wealthy businessman in the city married his daughter, the dowry was very rich, it could be called red makeup.The second lady opened her mouth again, "It's just a bumpkin who runs a few shops and smells of copper all over her body, so I don't know how to show it off. The whole world knows about marrying her daughter to a sixth-rank official, don't you know that bumpkin No matter how much silk is worn, it won't change the earthy smell." After speaking, she seemed to glance at the brocade dress on Mu Ai's body unintentionally, then covered her nose with a handkerchief and sneered.

Now the room is completely quiet. Just now she spoke recklessly, but she managed to cover up her mellowness. This time, she couldn't cover up her blatant irony. She opened the shop because she was granted the imperial title because of farming. Ai has no one else, those two words of copper smell and earthy smell, covering his nose again, are too vicious.

The corners of the old lady's eyes twitched fiercely, and she was about to speak, but Mu Ai laughed first, "It's too much to show off, no matter if it's a local rich man or a big family, everyone is looking forward to their daughter getting married Live a good life, and sending more gold and silver with you is also a love for your daughter."

What she said was gentle and decent, and she didn't linger on those two ridicules, which gave enough face to the people in the Yang family.The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly scolded the second daughter-in-law for being stupid. She threw away the pretensions of her first-class imperial order and only met as relatives of her natal family, all for Yi'er's sake.I didn't expect this idiot to treat her like an ordinary merchant woman, and she really didn't wink at all.

She quickly answered with a smile, "No, when I married my youngest daughter, I wanted to give her the best things in the world as a dowry, for fear that she would be wronged at her in-law's house. Well, that girl is still worthy, After three years of hugging both of them, both are fat boys, I am completely relieved."

The eldest lady also laughed and said, "Our Yi'er is also a good wife. She gave me a little grandson just after she got married, which shows that she is a lucky one."

Everyone jokingly said that they would try to hold another one next year, which made Yi'er blush so much that he was about to bleed.

Seeing that Mu Ai was not angry with her, the second lady pointed her target at Yi'er, curled her lips and said, "No matter how much she can give birth, she is still a jealous woman, she won't even give a concubine to a man."

Now, the room became quieter, and the old lady was so angry that the veins popped up on her head. The eldest lady wanted to smooth things over, but she didn't know what to say.

Mu Ai raised her eyebrows, looked at the concubines behind the second lady who were all fat, swallows and thin, and smiled slightly, "Oh, so the second lady is a virtuous person, and those behind you are all given to the second lady." The concubines that the master took? They are really good-looking, not as good as you... er, much worse. However, I have studied medicine for a few days, and seeing the appearance of the second lady, I have a lot of resentment in my heart. Relax, otherwise your body will suffer after a long time."

These words sounded well-intentioned, but following what the Second Madam said just now, there is no politeness at all. If you are not too ugly to win the heart of your husband, I am afraid you will not take the initiative to take a concubine. Uncomfortable, not jealous, how could he be so pale and emaciated, it's just a good word on the lips, bearing a good name, secretly gnashing his teeth with hatred.

Everyone in the hall immediately drank tea, and those who picked dim sum picked up dim sum, all of them had strange expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to laugh but were holding back. Like a frog, its eyes are about to bulge out.

So he laughed again, "I like to be quiet on weekdays, and the three children in my family often find it noisy. A few years ago, when I became interested, I established a family rule. From now on, sons are not allowed to take concubines, and those who marry daughters can only marry her." .In this way, the children will be more cautious when picking up the person who will be with them for life in the future, and it will save me from all kinds of miscellaneous people coming in to annoy me." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the second lady, took a sip of tea and smiled again, " It is said that a virtuous wife has fewer misfortunes, and the family is harmonious and everything is prosperous. A virtuous, gentle, diligent and thrifty wife is better than anything else."

The old lady said with a sneer on her face, "Madam Xian's words make sense." The faces of the eldest lady and the third sister-in-law of Yi'er next to her were full of complexities. .

The second lady rolled her eyes because of that miscellaneous sentence, she calmed down, gritted her teeth and said, "Mrs. Xian's family rules are good, but it's a pity, whether the children can abide by it may be uncertain, after all, they are not my own children, not myself. The flesh that fell from the body just couldn’t stick to myself.”

"Shut up! What's wrong with you today? You're so unruly. Why haven't you gone to the kitchen? Why hasn't the banquet been delivered yet?" she goes out.

The second lady saw that Mu Ai's expression was a little bit bad, knowing that she had finally hit her, she immediately straightened up, not in the slightest embarrassment of being scolded, on the contrary, she was about to step out the door like a general who is still in victory after victory.

It's a pity that she didn't pay attention to her feet, or if her cerebellum suddenly malfunctioned, she staggered and fell like a dog, and her lower skirt was completely turned over, revealing her light concubine-colored underpants.In this era, women from decent and good families wear white silk underpants. Only brothels or some low-status concubines wear bright colors in order to attract men. She is so coquettish, but I don't know if the second master will eat her set, but looking at her withered complexion, I can tell that the effect must not be good.

The concubines couldn't bear it any longer, they turned their faces away, their shoulders trembled slightly, obviously it was amused and relieved their hatred.

　Persist, persist, persist, there will be two changes tomorrow, and the head starts to hurt again.Fortunately, the unit is not so busy, which is a blessing in misfortune! ! !
