"It's impossible to rely solely on snacks. Could it be that your wife used some sort of trick?" "She's not your proper wife, why do you care about her?" Princess Jing'an looked down on Madam Hou.
Other people have to eagerly open the path for their husbands and sons. She has arrived, and sits at home everyday, waiting for others to pay their respects to her.
Mu Rousang laughed: "It's only a matter of a year or two. When Zixuan comes out of Hanlin House, we can move out." It was just that he had to find a way to split the family.
"I heard that in the Yang family's elder generation, there is no branch family. In my opinion, that mansion of yours is still quite noisy."
The reason the Princess Jing'an knew about this, was most likely because they had heard of it from the Princess Huaiqing.
She cast a sidelong glance at her sister-in-law and said, "Your idea can't be to ask me to tell that unfamiliar uncle of mine, right?"
The Princess Jing'an glared at her in annoyance: "Leave a way out, your life still hasn't reached the point where you have to move out. Moreover, your husband hasn't gone to the Sixth Division yet, what's the rush?"
The two weren't in a hurry, but that didn't mean others weren't! The younger generation of the Yang family was becoming more and more capable, they would not be able to stop it. At that time, the older generation wouldn't be able to get that many benefits.
After coming to a conclusion, the two looked at each other, waiting to see how the people from the Yang Mansion would act.
"But sister-in-law, that Su Clan is bullying me!" Mu Rousang acted coquettishly towards her and then complained at the same time.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans for this. When the time comes, you can just watch the show." The Princess Jing'an was not truly brainless. On the contrary, she was very smart, to be able to stand out amongst the many princess daughters and enter the eyes of the Emperor, how could she be stupid?
With someone willing to help her, Mu Rousang was overjoyed and smiled: "Good sister-in-law, when are you going to bring me a nephew. Niece, I'll stitch some clothes for them."
Don't stare at me, it's not like you don't know, I don't know how to knead needle and thread, much less count on my mother. Other than dressing up, she also knows how to manage a household.
Okay, he is the real deal, Mu Rousang looked at the ceiling with his hands on his cheeks.
"Hey, don't tell me you're feeling sorry for those pieces of cloth? At most, I'll get someone to carry two boxes to you, so you can sew them for me." Princess Jing'an reached out to push her.
"My good sister-in-law, I didn't say that I wouldn't agree. However, if you really are pregnant, then remember to tell me as soon as possible. I'll also make some for my little nephews."
The two clearly didn't like to delve into house fighting techniques, so as they talked, they went on to do other things.
The first day was on the fifteenth day of the 12th lunar month. The White Jade Temple's Reverend was busy greeting the meritorious services of the heavens, and had invited everyone to burn incense for the sake of peace, as well as to ask for a good divination.
On the second day, he personally brought the recitation of scriptures from wealthy families, and just like that, two or three days passed, and on the nineteenth day of the twelfth month, the Yang family, Mu family, Zuo family, and other wealthy families all got into a carriage and left in a hurry to recruit their friends. This caused chaos in front of the White Jade Temple, and only after it was almost dark did it calm down a lot, but it also caused chaos in front of the temple.
Mu Rousang pondered about how she did not tell Yang Zixuan about meeting him. It was not that she did not want to meet him, but she felt that it was better not to cause trouble. She did not go out often either.
Returning to the manor house to busy themselves with the New Year event, Yang Zixuan's caravan returned to the capital with a large amount of profit, and at the same time brought New Year's goods from the south, earning them another fortune.
All day long, Mu Rousang sat at home and pulled out an abacus. All she heard was a series of crackling sounds from the east wing's study.
"Young Mistress has gone overboard. When Young Master went out today, he had some orders, and had someone find the newborn sheep and grind the fresh almonds. They've just finished cooking!"
Spring Dye brought in a bowl of fragrant almond milk, causing Mu Rousang's stomach to feel flat. She put down the brush in her hand and laughed, "Quickly bring it over for me to eat, I'm just hungry now."
Spring Breeze, who was serving at the side, quickly prepared to put away the Accounts s on the table. Mu Rousang waved her hand and said: "Don't do it, we will have to continue settling the score later. It's been a long time since we last moved, and our bodies are already sore.
The last sentence she said was to Chun Yan.
"Yes, Young Mistress. Luckily, I took the opportunity to make a Kitchen at the beginning, otherwise, it would have been inconvenient for me to eat so much. If I had been looked down by those people, who knows what they would have said." Chun Ran could not bear to see the Yang Mansion's people.
Mu Rousang drank some goat's milk and laughed, "I was so busy that I forgot. After this goat's milk is done, I will gift it to the matriarch.
"Ah, I'm so tired. Young Mistress, how much longer do I need to pay for this? This is the first time I've heard that there are so many books in Young Master's account book!" Chun Yi put down the brush in her hands and placed the copy of Accounts s to the side.
Mu Rousang laughed: "That's just some small accounts, the three of you can go for another two days. On the twenty-second day, we will be seeing our own Accounts, on the twenty-fourth day, we will have to settle our accounts."
This was the rule, after the twenty-fourth, he had to seal his brush and prepare for the New Year, and Yang Zixuan had to take a break as well.
"Forget it, I'm feeling dizzy from all the rest. I never would have thought that not only does Young Master have a shop in the capital, but he also has a few big mansions. Not only that, he is also a caravan travelling in the north and the south."
The Spring Breeze said from the side.
Mu Rousang looked at the baskets of Accounts s and said: "Naturally, it's different. What we eat at home are all produced at home, we don't have to worry about our lives.
Other than the restaurants, Jade Artifact Pavilion, and the fur shop in the capital, there were also two large villas in the outskirts of the capital. All of these were for show, and the main source of income were the merchant caravans.
Of course, they couldn't compare to Mu Rousang who took the short route to get rich, but in the capital city, it was still pretty good. Their room had a simple population, so there was no need for them to be kind to each other.
Chun Yi stood up, walked to the table and poured herself a cup of warm tea and ate it. Then she smiled and said, "Young Mistress, I heard that my old home is already doing quite well."
He should be called Little Mountain Town. According to my brother, Village Head Grandpa once wrote to him, he only told him that the land was sold for a third of its value, and that each piece was more expensive than the last. In the end, he told the villagers of Little Mountain Village to live in prosperity, and that the school's annual repair fees, as well as Mister's repair fees, and also the money needed to buy books, were all allocated to the villagers.
Speaking of Little Mountain Village's good days, Mu Rousang's face was filled with gentleness. Although it was not as flourishing as the capital, it was still much better than when she was young.
Chun Ran smiled at the side. "That's right. My brother wrote to me not long ago saying that life at home is getting better and calling me a servant is all thanks to young mistress's blessings."
Everyone understood in their hearts, but they did not want to make Chun Yun sad. They just smiled and passed by.
Spring also said: "How would I not know? My little brother also wrote, saying that because there are so many merchants, even mountain goods can be sold for a good price. Oh right, Young Mistress, this servant's little brother said that he would like to participate in the fall."
"Oh, is that the Elementary Scholar examination?" Mu Rousang smiled and asked her.
Yes, that's right. He said that young master worked very hard back then, so that he could enter the Office of the Crown Prince to study today.
Chun Yi's little brother was someone who would study hard. Mu Rousang had heard her mention him before, so she smiled: "Alright, I know what to do." She then continued, "Although I have traveled far away from Sichuan, I can still get Zixuan or my brother to study a book. At that time, it would be easy for me to give them a recommendation; it would be good for me to become an Elementary Scholar, and the fertile farmlands in my family would also be exempt from taxes, making life easier for them."
With regards to Chunyi's younger brother's exam, she had raised both her hands in approval. Only when a person had a way to do things would they be able to do things properly.
"My mother also thought the same. It doesn't matter if he insisted on taking the Scholar's Trial or something like that. There was no one in the ancestors who was willing to study, so he could read a few words and understand the principles of a person."
Mu Rousang thought for a while, and asked hesitantly: "Chun Yi, do you know that if you marry Xiao Tong, you will not be able to leave home in the future."
Xiao Tong was Yang Zixuan's first right-hand man, so how could she allow him to leave?
"Young mistress, don't worry. This servant will naturally understand." In the end, she liked Xiao Tong. Just like Owner had said, a married man wearing clothes, Xiao Tong felt that he was someone of high status, and she did not ask for someone by his side to live a peaceful life.
Mu Rousang sighed emotionally in her heart, but then she remembered that his own girls were all old, and said: "Speaking of Spring Festival, we will be reaching seventeen next year. Spring Dye is the same year as you, so I will ask Zi Xuan later.
"In reply to Young Mistress, Aunt has been waiting for Xia Yu, Xia Chan, Xia Hua, Xia He and a few others. She said that Xia Yu is the most steady, that Xia Hua is the most quick-witted, and that Xia Chan is the most attentive.
"How about this, you go back and personally inform the Eldest Young Lady, say that I want to bring up four second class servant girls, if she doesn't agree, then say that I will leave my account this month." Mu Rousang's four little girls had long since entered the Palace, only that they did not report it to the Aunt Liu.
