Mu Rousang felt a headache, this matter was not easy to talk to Madam Hou about, even Yang Juan Er did not personally admit it?
"You'll have to take me out to play every day for the next few years!" Mu Rousang did not want to provoke her, so she looked pitifully at Yang Zixuan.
Yang Zixuan pinched her little nose and laughed: "Don't be annoyed, just relax at home for a few days. After the new year, I'll be bringing you around, don't forget, you're a seventh grade genius, I'll walk around at my colleague's home, and naturally will bring you along with me."
"Great!" She finally no longer had to face Yang Juan Er anymore.
"I don't care about that. The crown prince's wife won't live past spring since the decree of the crown prince's wife has been made. You should avoid her more. If she really becomes the crown prince's consort, I'm afraid …"
Mu Rousang could not understand and could not help but ask, "How did you choose her to be your Crown Prince's consort?"
Yang Zixuan acknowledged his presence and looked towards the door. Seeing that the little girl was from Wives, he lowered his voice and said, "Father was there to guard the borders, and with the Crown Prince's wife giving birth to the Crown Prince, I was naturally afraid that others would bully him."
Mu Rousang rolled her eyes, and laughed: "I was wondering why I picked her, so there's actually such a place." If someone were to choose a nanny for the imperial concubine, then even if they took this role, they wouldn't give her too much advantage, and would still be able to use it without worry.
She then thought about what the Madam Hou had arranged for her to do today, and told Yang Zixuan her plans.
Yang Zixuan felt as if he had just drunk three kilograms of honey. He smiled and said, "Very good, my wife, if you accept this job, then I'm afraid that you won't dare to point it out to our grandmother. The matter of the sacrifice is different, although there isn't much oil, it is a big matter of showing your face in front of the clan members.
"She still dares to mess with this thing? Aren't you afraid that I'll make it difficult? " Mu Rousang was unhappy. Why would he ask for money from her? It was not her family's fault, but the entire Young's family's.
Yang Zixuan could not hold back and laughed: "I knew you would be unhappy, so listen to me first. Furthermore, we cannot waste this silver, just take note of all the treasures that we add with our Accounts and we will cause a ruckus. "
Mu Rousang immediately understood after thinking a little, and laughed: "Since husband has already spoken, I shall do as you say, sigh, I can only tell the people in the courtyard to take advantage of me."
At that time, the position of the bastard son, Yang Zixuan, would be different. The Madam Hou had calculated to not let her know about the Hou clan's connections, thenhee would dig a hole for her here, and if he did not save the Madam Hou, she would fall down.
"Your husband is here to thank my wife. I also know that you don't like it here, but when it comes to this branch family, it doesn't need to be mentioned by us juniors. The previous generation is still stuck with our grandma!"
Hearing Yang Zixuan's words, he was afraid that he had already planned it out, Mu Rousang laughed and said: "Left or right, it is just a residence, in the future, no matter what, you will have your own residence when you leave Han Lin, we will move out then."
"Even if we have to move out, we have to clear up the accounts." He didn't want to let Yang Zixuan have what he should have. Moreover, he had to raise his own wife.
The two of them closed the door and hid in bed for half the night before sleeping. The next day, Yang Zixuan went to the yamen very early, and Mu Rousang began to busy herself with the matter of the sacrificial offerings.
Madam Hou had originally been sneering at the side, hoping that Mu Rousang would fly around like a headless fly. However, she had forgotten that not only did Aunt Liu have a plan by her side, but after finding out about it, she had also asked for a Chief Eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies to help her with just a single sentence.
"What did you say?" Princess Huaiqing actually sent an eunuch over? " Madam Hou's face twisted, he was annoyed that he did not agree to this marriage.
"Madam, I heard that the eunuch was helping the imperial family with the matter regarding the offering ceremony."
Shen Mama did not dare to do too much in front of her ever since she was secretly punished by Mu Rousang once.
"Hmph, those people won't be that proud anymore. You should let them go first, it's just those offerings …" Madam Hou sneered, then said: "Last time, the matriarch said that the cows and sheep would be given to the clan, I will follow her orders. Now that the items for the sacrifice are difficult to gather, I can only give her some silver to buy them."
Shen Mama immediately asked: "Are we going to take the current price?"
Madam Hou glanced at her, raised his orchid like fingers to taste a plum, and replied: "Of course it's as usual."
Shen Mama opened his mouth to speak, but then swallowed it back down. The cattle prices at this time of year were definitely not ordinary, Madam's intention was for Mu Rousang to take some notes and add in.
"Then is the feast on the thirtieth or first day of the new year still the same as before?"
"Yes, I'll give her the silver as usual." Madam Hou seemed to not know that the price had increased this year, so he opened his mouth to drop another 30% of the silver.
Shen Mama could not help but have a headache. She was sure that if she came back like this, her master would definitely cause a ruckus!
She couldn't help but remind him, "Madam, if the price of rice oil were to rise this year, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible as per the previous year's usual practice."
When Madam Hou heard this, he lightly tapped the table with his slender fingers and replied: "If she doesn't know anything, then it's for the best. If she makes a ruckus, then we can add 10% more silver compared to last year to allow her to manage this task. We can only see if she can accomplish this task well and save some money.
"Madam is right. Your servant will pass on the message." Shen Mama wanted to add 10%. If Third Young Madam had used it sparingly, it would barely be enough.
She turned around and went to look for Mu Rousang to pass the message. It was just that the Gui Yuan was really too far away from the Main yard, and after drinking all the water in the northwest wind and hanging snow dregs on her face, she finally arrived at the entrance of the Gui Yuan. It was just that the door was shut tight and no one replied her.
"Wow, I haven't eaten roasted sweet potatoes in a long time." Spring Scene sniffed her little nose, which was purple from the cold.
Mu Rousang was drinking her cold plum tea at the side. Hearing that, he relaxed her eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, it's been a while since I last ate, and it's just that the food is extremely sweet, you have to take your time to eat it too, otherwise you won't be able to finish it later."
"Oh, today is the 23rd. Young Mistress said that we've been tired all year, and she gave us five kilograms of mutton from the big kitchen."
"Really, isn't it eating mutton hotpot at noon?" The four people, like Mu Rousang, grew up in the south. They could not stand the cold weather and drank two bowls of mutton soup, warming their toes to the ends of their hair.
Even Aunt Liu could not help but laugh. "You only just found out, when you went to get the sweet potatoes, our Young Mistress was talking about it in the house."
"So you guys were hiding from me, I'm afraid you want to eat more chopsticks later. It caused me to eat three sweet potatoes." While touching her half-full stomach, she decided to leave half of it empty for the mutton soup.
"Eh, is someone calling for us?" Spring Breeze was sitting to one side, holding a sweet potato and eating it. It was as if he heard someone calling for him.
Hearing the spring wind say that, he waved his hand and said: "Forget about it, who's the one that would come running here in this snow to eat until they're full, let's split the sweet potatoes around the pyrethrum!"
"That's right, those two gatekeepers' wives haven't come out yet." Spring Scene nodded as she ate her baked sweet potato.
Aunt Liu was still eating the sweet potato when she suddenly slapped her thigh and said: "Aiyo, quickly go take a look, wasn't there someone in the manor who came to find me to talk? "I brought two jars of wine over. This servant doesn't think that there's anything good from Young Mistress' brew, so when I came over earlier, I gave it to the two gatekeepers."
Mu Rousang who was eating roasted sweet potato at a side suddenly stopped and asked: "Could it be that someone is really calling for us?"
Chun Yan sat beside the door. She was the first to stand up and said, "This servant will go take a look. You all are not allowed to eat it all."
Just as he was about to turn around and return, he heard someone open the door. At the same time, he heard Chun Ran's scolding, "You two misses, I was afraid that you two would freeze to death and get you two to sit at the gatehouse. You were kind to begin with, but why are you two drinking so much already, aren't you listening to anyone knocking on the door?"
Shen Mama had no choice but to turn back and smile, "Lady Chun, Chun, Chun Yan, so there are people at home."
Chun Yan hurriedly invited her in and said, "It was my aunt who brought two jars of wine to give to the two women. She didn't expect that the two of them would be so engrossed in drinking that they didn't hear their mother yell at the door."
In her heart, however, she was suspicious. This gatekeeper wasn't far from the courtyard door, it was no wonder that the two women didn't open the door because they recognized the voice of the Shen Mama.
Shen Mama's brain was muddled by the wind, it was so cold that she couldn't even speak properly, how could she think so much?
"Yes, it's too cold. Come in, let's go in."
Seeing that she was not frozen to death, Chun Ran thought it was extremely funny. However, she endured the urge to invite her in and shouted at her: "Young Mistress, Shen Mama is here!"
"Quick, invite her in." Mu Rousang's gentle voice, which was like the cry of an oriole, came from inside the house.
Chun Yan invited Shen Mama in, and Chun Yi and the rest immediately stood up to let her sit. They invited her to go beside the pyrethrum to drive away the cold.
