The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 582
The days are slowly advancing quietly, and now Mu Shuyao doesn't go out much, because urgently needed medicines are being shipped in batches from various places, and she needs to handle these things herself.

Only on March [-]th, at the invitation of Princess Yuexi, I went to a Zhuangzi in Anyang Prince's Mansion, and participated in a gathering of Mrs. Bin, a judge in the capital. Good house, move into a new house before winter.

I don't know how they made the decision. Except for the members of the Mu family, all the dignified ladies and wives of officials who came to this party came to participate. What everyone donated was some real gold and silver. After all, these things are more real.

However, the business in the capital is still basically paralyzed, only a few food shops are still open, and the people behind them are just trying to make a fortune. Steamed buns that used to cost one penny can only be bought for ten pennies now, and they have shrunk a lot. , about the size of a wowotou.

After the fundraising activity by Yi Yuqi and others the day before, the family members of Rong Xian eagerly coming to the Mu Mansion the next day were all the family members of officials below the fourth rank, and some of them were almost the daughters of businessmen. lady.

When Mu Shuyao saw Rong Xian's slightly twitching mouth, she knew she was very angry, so she couldn't help asking Huarui next to her, "Why are all the posts she posted in the hands of these people?" Today she put on makeup specially Come to see the excitement, since Dilong turned over, she hasn't really come out to play. Of course, this time she came out to show her true face. Fortunately, there is a Mu Yanran in the Mu family who has always covered her face with a veil, so it is okay for her to disguise herself. It is much more convenient.

"I don't know either." Huarui looked around, her identity today is the daughter of the owner of a restaurant specializing in vegetarian food, otherwise the Mu family would have recognized her at a glance. "I heard that their posts are all sent by others."

"Huh? As a gift?" Mu Shuyao was puzzled again, "Isn't Mu's post saying who to invite? How can these people come to participate?"

Xiaofang, who was pretending to be the daughter of the dim sum shop owner, immediately smiled and said, "Don't look at these people as owners of small shops, but behind them are big families in the capital. It's not too much, but looking at Madam Mu's face, she is quite angry."

Mu Shuyao raised her eyebrows and then glanced at Rong Xian in the opposite corridor. She saw her face sinking like water, standing beside Mu Yanran and Mu Jiaqing. Mu Yanran couldn't see her face clearly while wearing a veil. Sunny couldn't hide her anger.

At this time, someone whispered not far away: "Is that the new wife of the Mu family? She is a beauty. I heard that she is a descendant of the former traitor King Han. The current emperor is kind and pardoned their family." It's a sin, and her brother is allowed to guard the north side of Tianli."

"Yeah, I heard that her elder brother had already established himself as the emperor, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of serving the court, and let her marry into Mu Xiangfu. Don't you have some ulterior motive?"

"Shh!" Another lady stopped immediately: "How can we ordinary people talk about this kind of thing, be careful that it comes from your mouth."

The madam who was talking vigorously shut her mouth immediately, and looked around guiltily. Seeing that no one paid special attention to her, she was relieved. She turned her head and smiled at the madam who reminded her, and thanked her, but she was another The person who couldn't keep his mouth shut turned his eyes to Mu Yanran and Mu Jiaqing who were beside Rong Xian.

"There are several ladies in the Mu family, why are there only two of them who come out to see people now? I heard that the young lady is still a beauty, but I don't see her coming out to entertain guests. Could it be that we are not worthy of her status? "

An insider whispered: "Wasn't the one standing there wearing a veil the eldest lady of the Mu family, Mu Yanran? But I don't know why, why is she covering her face with a veil recently? But look at her figure and dress It is not difficult to guess that there is a beautiful face under the veil."

"Good girl, why are you covering your face? Doesn't she look down on us? Could it be that if we take a look at her, we can make her look ugly." The lady said dissatisfied: "If you want to say she is beautiful, she is also beautiful." She is not the most beautiful woman in the capital, Princess Luoer always sees her with her real face, she is the daughter of a courtier's family, and she is doing something mysterious."

As soon as she said this, the people around her immediately laughed, "You're talking big, we can't just meet people like Princess Luoer."

"What I said is true, yesterday not only Princess Luo'er came out to entertain guests in person, but also Princess Yuexi and Princess Qinghe came. They are all real nobles, but they don't have the airs that Miss Mu has. ..."

"You are here to participate in the fundraising meeting held by Mu Mansion, what are you all doing here?" Just as the lady was talking vigorously, she was interrupted by a slightly cold female voice.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Mu Jiaqing, who was standing next to Rong Xian just now, had come behind them at some point, and her face was tense, as if everyone present owed her hundreds of taels of silver.

Hearing what she said, everyone present was still afraid of the door of the Prime Minister's house, and all of them shut up and scattered in all directions, pretending to look at the scenery.

Only the lady whose conversation was interrupted just now murmured in a low voice: "Hey, I really think I'm a big shot, but I'm just a concubine from the prime minister's mansion, and I'm so bossy, the princess and princess are much more approachable than you, It's a shame that no one wants to come to the party in the Mu Mansion."

She didn't speak loudly, but Mu Jiaqing happened to pass by Hao and heard it sincerely. She immediately fixed her eyes on the lady who was speaking, and said with a sneer, "You can see it even with your status." Princess Princess?"

"Why can't I see you?" The madam couldn't stand the excitement, and she immediately retorted: "A few days ago, Princess Yuexi issued a large invitation card, inviting the family members of officials above the second rank in Beijing to raise donations for the common people. I also went to participate with my wife. Princess Yuexi also asked me about my identity, and talked to me for a long time in a friendly manner. It's not like your Mufu, who also wants to do donations like others, so let's do it. And stretched his face, as if everyone owes you."

It turned out that this lady used to be the wife of a guard of the Jingmen Admiral's Mansion. Because the guard made contributions in the Beijing Mutiny, Emperor Luo appointed him a fifth-rank official, but she was originally the wife of the Jingmen Admiral's wife. For dowry, even though Rujing has opened a mansion, she still respects the old master very much, calling out to the admiral's wife one by one.

And the wife of the admiral of Jingmen also thinks highly of her, and often takes her by her side, so yesterday she also went to the fundraising meeting organized by Yi Yuqi and others, and it is only now that I say this.
