"I only heard the servants say it out loud, and that was all. I didn't want to offend my sister-in-law!"
"Oh, really?"
Mu Rousang stopped talking about this matter, and started drinking the tea: "Sister-in-law wouldn't you like to taste this cold plum tea, it is extremely famous, thousand leaf sweet plum, that is, the Princess Huaiqing. She was happy to spoil our sister-in-law, hence she asked Your Majesty for two stalks, not expecting my sister-in-law to listen to brother talk about it, saying that I love to drink cold plum tea, so she gathered the snow in the middle of the flower stamens before dawn, broke off the fresh fragrant plum flower, and gave it to me.
The words that came out of Su Waner's mouth became harder and harder to say. She just sat there and drank her tea in a daze, while Mu Rousang sat on the other side and sipped her tea calmly.
"Sister-in-law's fate is really good. Her elders are pampering her and her parents are taking care of her. These days she has been calling her sister-in-law too much."
Mu Rousang secretly cursed in her heart: Eyeing hot? Hurry up and get a little hot in your eyes. When you get hot in your eyes, I'll be able to sleep very soundly.
On the other hand, he said, "Of course not. I heard from Zixuan that your father is about to ascend to the next level. As his sister-in-law, I still haven't come to congratulate you!"
When Su Waner saw sher mention it, he was elated for a moment. She then couldn't stop smiling and said: "Sigh, I can only blame my father for his talent, with the appreciation of my superior, he was raised a whole level up, to be promoted to a rank 4 Supreme Court Official."
Was this what she had come for? Mu Rousang pinched his fingers together, one of them was Level One, the other was the Young Master of the Crown Prince's Palace, her own backer was only Princess Jing'an and the third rank high official, Minister Zuo, her own uncle.
Without leaving a trace, he gave a meaningful glance to Chun Yan, who smiled and said: "Young Mistress, you are busy talking to Eldest Young Lady, do you need some snacks?"
Mu Rousang faked a discovery and said: "Aiyo, look at my memory, quickly go to the kitchen and ask them to cook it this morning."
"Young Mistress, you really are forgetful. Didn't a few eighth grade talents send some snacks to you yesterday afternoon?" When they heard that you were going to the White Jade Temple to soak in the water, they asked about the days and coincidentally got together with you, so they sent a message to invite you over to the back of the White Jade Temple to admire the flowers. "
Su Waner's face instantly turned pale and green, green and red, red and white again, that would be truly exciting!
Mu Rousang acted as if she did not see anything, and said: "You little hoof, why are you still standing there? Hurry and serve it to sister-in-law for a taste. "
Su Waner was confused. Why did her mother set her sights on that idiot? If only she had fallen for the bastard son Yang Zixuan back then. With her status as a direct daughter, she was more than enough to match Yang Zixuan. Now, there was no one who didn't know that a village girl had appeared in the corner, and was acting so cocky in front of her.
"No need!" She held out her hand to stop him.
Mu Rousang sneered in her heart. What? Can't keep up the act?
Su Waner did not know what she was thinking, so she said: "It's like this, Mother said that she will be going to the White Jade Temple to dip in for two days, and this time she will be staying on the mountain for a few more days. Now that the weather is so cold, I want to add a few more silver carbon, just in case we freeze everyone up."
Mu Rousang covered her mouth with the handkerchief and laughed: "Mother still loves the juniors, afraid that she will freeze all of us here, how can we be so pampered, I say, even if we don't buy it, it doesn't matter, once we reach the temple, we will prepare it there."
Su Waner laughed: "Little sister, you do not know, that the temple was so huge that it was bestowed by the First Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. It is not excessive to say that it is part of the outer temple of the imperial family.
"Oh, so you should prepare it yourself. Spring Dye, go and see how much carbon there is in the house." Oh, so you should prepare it yourself. However, looking at this situation, those old men who are selling carbs are about to make a windfall, there are not many in the house, from mother's tone, silver is the most, elder sister-in-law need not worry about it, if it doesn't work out, just ask mother for it. "
Mu Rousang was not too concerned about this matter. There were a lot of silver carbon in her house, and even the Grand Matriarch's silver carbon s were all taken out from her own space. Seeing that there was no smoke, she also had a faint sandalwood smell.
Su Waner felt that Mu Rousang was as slippery as a loach. After she said it this way, Su Waner really couldn't ask for her help, could it be that the The House of the Marquis of Loyalty still lacked a few carts of carbon silver?
Actually, there is nothing else to do, it is just that mother said that we need to add a few silver carbon s. I heard that sister-in-law's manor has some good sandalwood charcoal, so I thought that being fat is not as good as being fat, so why don't you bring some silver carbon s to the mansion and make it cheaper, then I'll ask mother to give you some silver.
Mu Rousang's eyes turned, she finally understood the meaning of Su Waner's words, was she treating her as a big shot? She, Su Waner, had come here to retrieve the carbon, and then told Mu Rousang to walk in the snow alone.
First, let's not talk about whether the Madam Hou would give up on her, just by thinking about this point, outsiders could already drown her in their spittle, huh? Why? How could her daughter-in-law be such a stingy person? Grandma wanted to use her to order more silver from the silver carbon, what a bad woman, this was such an unfilial thing. If she was suppressed by an unfilial act, her reputation in the capital would become bad, and if there were any more incidents in the future, it would all be her fault, because she was unfilial!
As he thought about the twists and turns, Mu Rousang's watery eye narrowed and the depths of his eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Oh, I thought it was a big deal, not to mention the other side, even if you sell this silver carbon, selling it cheap to the house will earn you some money, right or wrong, just a small fry to make some money."
Su Waner did not expect her to be so straightforward. Inevitably, she had some suspicions in her heart, and then asked: "Does sister-in-law agree to this matter?"
"I agree, I agree. It would be foolish to disagree if I earned money." Mu Rousang nodded his head like he was pounding garlic.
Su Waner glanced at her in disdain. Wasn't this sister-in-law a fool?
Seeing that Mu Rousang was willing to let her take the bag, Su Waner was happy in her heart, but he saved her all of his money. After sitting there and chatting for a bit, she got up and left.
"Why did Young Mistress agree to her request?"
Mu Rousang looked at Su Waner who was walking out of the courtyard with a cold gaze and said: "Words have no basis, how come I don't remember? If you want to exchange for the silver carbon with silver, then you can do so. She did a good job with it.
He waved his hand and said, "No one knows about this, do you understand?"
It was just these few people in the room, so Mu Rousang pointed to the pastries that Su Waner had brought earlier and said, "Do you think that my family still lacks this kind of rice cake? "Although my brother is currently a supervising student, but in the future, he will definitely have a tougher career than someone who can climb up the ladder through relationships. Even his father is only at the fourth rank, so if he wants to climb up, hmph, in his next life, let's see if he can do it."
Spring Breeze angrily said, "This Eldest Young Lady is really a person who hides his dagger behind his smile. Young Mistress, are we still going to continue fooling around in the future?"
Mu Rousang said matter-of-factly: "Why not pretend? Don't those idiots think themselves to be smart? "Also, you and the servants of the Yang Mansion should go around together and ask more about the matters of the old days. You must not let that vile person devour your Young Master's family's wealth."
Chun Yan and Chun Feng smiled. "Young Mistress, you're the one who loves Young Master the most."
Mu Rousang's face turned slightly red, she spat out: "Hmph, whoever loves to hurt better. Alright, let's go back inside the house and continue being a girl."
She happily brought her servant to sleep at home, and didn't go out to wander around. Before dinner, Chun Yi and Chun Jing came back to report, and had already sent the New Year ceremony to Liu Guizhi's family. This time, Mu Rousang gave him a total of four carts of silver carbon s to his family.
Chun Yi laughed: "Young Mistress, when the Wei Family's Eldest Young Lady saw the four carts of silver carbon, he could only say that he was happy to see our little sister. It was also because the Lady Liu protected you and Young Master that he allowed our young mistress to grow up safely."
Mu Rousang heard and laughed softly, then said: "Big sister has always doted on me and big brother, I still remember when she wasn't very good at sewing, but insisted on making clothes for me and big brother, and pierced both of our hands until they were full of needles. I still remember!"
When Chun Yi and the rest heard this, they all laughed. They had seen it with their own eyes.
In the evening, Yang Zixuan returned and gave her a thick paper bag, saying: "Go and tell the people to keep this, it's four thousand silver."
Mu Rousang's brows slightly moved, and said: "Is it Big Brother?"
Yang Zixuan said unceremoniously: "Un, you know I know, that day she hid her conscience and deducted my betrothal gift money from me, I want to take it back from him, you should keep this."
She lowered her head and opened the oil paper bag. Inside were forty silver taels, smiling as she said, "Didn't you just buy me a lot of pickles in that small mulberry village? "I wonder if the previous owners of those lands have ever raised their land. Now that we have this silver, we can go and ask the neighboring families if we have any land to sell. It would be best if we could get it from our little mulberry village."
Yang Zixuan leaned on the soft pillow, looking at her mischievous look, he crossed his legs and shook, then said: "This bit of silver is nothing, wait till the southern caravan returns to the capital to celebrate the new year, then we will settle the bill again. I'm afraid your hands are going to go soft from counting, and here, I'm sure you should find a reliable place to hide these banknotes."
Mu Rousang's heart tensed up, and immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
