The first wife is fierce and sturdy

Chapter 292
This year, the etiquette of each mansion is the same as before, but the etiquette of the general's mansion is eye-catching.In addition to those conventional things, a lot of new ideas have been added, which is neither rude nor difficult to return.

The old lady took the gift list and proudly showed it to her aunt, Mama Wan and others.

"Girl, it's a good gift! This festival, it's too heavy, and it's not easy for people to return the gift! It's not good to give it too lightly! It's still so much money, but it's so new, it's like the Chinese New Year."

Seeing that the old lady was happy, the aunts and grandmas accompanied her and praised her.

When everyone was laughing and making a fuss, the little maid reported back.

"Someone from Datong Ruan's family is here to give gifts!"

"Datong Ruan's family?" The eldest aunt raised her eyebrows and looked at the old lady suspiciously.The General's Mansion and Datong have no relatives, and the Ruan family in Datong is also the largest family in Datong, so how can they give gifts to the General's Mansion?
"Go and see what's going on!" The old lady thought of Ruan Botong, the champion of Jinke who had met her with Mu Wenxian.

Mu Jingyan also received the news, thinking that the Ruan family was Mu Wenxian who left, so she asked to take him to Chenguangyuan.People from the Marquis of Yongchang also came with them, and the second wife naturally welcomed them with joy.

Unexpectedly, the people from the Ruan family brought a few boxes of festival gifts to Chenguangyuan, but the ones left in the carriage said they were for the general's residence, and they slapped the second wife in the face in public.

The second wife was furious. Seeing that the people in Yongchanghou's mansion were still there, she gritted her teeth secretly because she didn't want to lose face.In previous years, the gifts were all in the name of the General's Mansion, and the money was also paid by the public. This year, she spent a lot of money on the festivals alone, but they returned the gifts according to the etiquette system of the servants. Obviously, they did not regard them as the General's Mansion. people!

"Second wife, please send someone to report!" The gift-giving lady was very capable, her big eyes were shrewd, and she smiled when she saw people.

The second wife rolled her eyes at the people in the Yongchang Hou Mansion, smiled and brought them to see the old lady herself.Datong Ruan's family is Mrs. Yongchang Hou's natal family, so she naturally cannot neglect it.

"Our wife has been in poor health, and I wanted to come here in person, but I was tired from the work of Laba the other day. No, I specially sent slaves to the old lady, the owner of Chengwu County, and the elder aunt and cousin. Salute!" The mother in charge next to Mrs. Yongchanghou came in and said a few words, then saluted the old lady, Mu Jingyan and the others one by one.

"Mother Chen, get up quickly! You are too polite!" Mu Jingyan stepped forward to help Mother Chen up, and smiled slightly.This mother Chen can really talk!Knowing that the general's mansion was separated, they only lived in one mansion. When they came, they only greeted the old lady and her, but they didn't neglect the eldest aunt, mother and daughter who lived with her and the old lady.

The Ruan family also came from two mothers who were in charge, well-dressed and generous.He saluted the old lady and Mu Jingyan respectfully, sat on the twig and spoke neither humble nor overbearing.

The shrewd and big-eyed mother turned her eyes to the people in the room, and talked to Mu Jingyan calmly.

"Our eldest miss has been hearing Miss Biao mentioning the county magistrate of Chengwu, saying that the magistrate is beautiful in appearance, first-rate in literary talent, and straightforward and unaffected in her actions. What kind of fairy-like person do slaves and maids want to be? The second young master said that he is from the family Eldest young master has heard the county magistrate play the flute, it can be called a fairy song. When I saw it today, I really opened the eyes of the servants! The magistrate looks like a fairy!" He said with a smile and bent his smile.

There was a flash of understanding in the old lady's eyes.The other party is here to speak out for the Jinke No. [-] scholar!Although they came here rashly to give gifts, but the Marquis of Yongchang acted as an intermediary, and they said they heard from Miss Rong's family that Miss Ruan's family admired Mu Jingyan, and she couldn't say anything about Meng Lang.

On the contrary, the second wife's eyes froze for a moment, and a faint light flashed across her eyes.Look at the faces of the old lady and Mu Jingyan.The Ruan family is the natal family of the Marquis of Yongchang, if Mu Jingyan married into the Ruan family, the Marquis of Yongchang would definitely not allow her daughter to marry their family!Otherwise, wouldn't it be said that there is a suspicion of changing relatives?
"The two sisters Rong are excellent, even the county magistrate can't admire them! How can they be as good as what sister Rong said!" Mu Jingyan smiled, and only took the previous words.

A trace of disappointment flashed in the mother's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. She glanced at Mother Chen, and the few of them stayed and talked for a while, then said goodbye and left.

Seeing that neither Mu Jingyan nor the old lady had any intentions, the second wife breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly.

"Mother! Although the Ruan family in Datong is a prominent family, and the number one scholar in Jinke is a good-looking talent, but Datong is far away from Yanjing, so it is really not a good match!"

"Hmm!" The old lady responded lightly without showing any emotion on her face.

The second wife looked at the old lady holding Mu Jingyan's hand and felt relieved.Datong is so far away, the old lady would not be willing to marry Mu Jingyan there!After saying a few gossips, he turned and left.In the afternoon, he volunteered to help Mu Jingyan return the gift to the Ruan family, and went to the Yongchang Hou Mansion.

Mu Jingyan couldn't help frowning when she saw the second wife's attentive appearance.What is the second wife thinking about?Yongchang Marquis Rong Qian is already engaged to Xiang Wanyi, so is it possible that the second wife still wants to break up their marriage?rely on it!This girl's daughter can't get married, so she just gives it away as a concubine, and she actually wants to break up the marriage with vicious intentions?
The second wife didn't stay in Yongchang Hou Mansion for a long time, when she came back her face was gloomy and she was very worried.Mu Jingyan called the mother-in-law who gave the gift to ask about it, and said that she heard the second wife praise the third miss.

Mu Jingyan felt that the second wife was delusional, and she wanted to marry the concubine of Yongchang Houfu as her daughter-in-law!Wrote a letter to Xiang Wanyi to remind her.

New Year's Day gifts were given to all the prefectures, followed by 23 Xiaonian, offering sacrifices to the Stove King and sweeping the dust.Every year during the festival, Mu Jingyan and her mother are alone. They have no relatives or friends, so it is very deserted.After eating together, the mother and daughter went to an open place to play a game to learn kung fu.In the second half of the night, Mu Jingyan spent the rest of the night secretly looking at her tough mother.

Looking at the bustling crowd in the General's Mansion, Mu Jingyan took a deep breath.Even she is gone this year, I don't know how my mother celebrates the New Year alone?

"Big cousin?" Jiang Ziyan saw Mu Jingyan's sad expression, with a thoughtful face, and couldn't help but stepped forward to shake Mu Jingyan's hand.

"I just thought of my parents! I hope that my parents will have a lively and lively New Year in the sky!" Mu Jingyan thought of the parents of the real body, and sincerely blessed her.

"Uncle and aunt will be happy to see us happy!" Jiang Ziyan didn't want Mu Jingyan to stand alone in the night and be sad, so she dragged Mu Jingyan into the house to watch the old lady play leaf cards.

Mu Jingyan looked at Mu Wenbao who was standing beside him with his head bowed in silence, his eyes turned slightly.

"Mu Wenbao! Come out!" Mu Wenbao called out, turned and walked out.

Mu Wenbao looked up at Mu Jingyan's back, frowned slightly, but still followed.As soon as he left the door, he saw Mu Jingyan's figure approaching quickly, his pupils shrank, he dodged quickly, and raised his legs to attack Mu Jingyan.

The siblings started fighting immediately, Jiang Hao's eyes lit up, and he hurried out to watch.These days, he obviously felt that Mu Jingyan's martial arts were different. He and Mu Wenbao had been making progress, so why did they fight against the three servants now, but the gap between him and Mu Jingyan was getting wider and wider.
