Chun Yan pursed his lips into a smile. He felt that he had taken care of this matter perfectly and did not answer Chun Yi. Instead, he asked, "Is Young Mistress up?"
"This kid is making a ruckus, how can he not get up?" Just a moment ago, I was still asking if you're back. Chun Yi took the booklet and walked to the west wing to open the door, then called the little girl over to give Yan Mo to her. Every time she registered a book, she would call for someone else to put it away and bring it into the room.
Furthermore, after being dyed in the spring, seeing Mu Rousang leaning in front of the smoking cage flipping through the Accounts, she laughed: "This servant is messing with the young mistress."
Mu Rousang did not raise his head, and replied: "Alright, go and receive your rewards at Spring Breeze's place, I say Spring Dye, don't tell me you're thinking of marrying, and thinking of ways to sway in front of me, so that you can earn more silver."
He took off his short cloak and moved a small Wu Dai to sit at her feet, using the pyrethrum to dispel the cold. After shivering, he said, "Young Mistress, I saw that all of your silver was left in that Chief's shoes, so I could easily buy a few centimeters of cloth to make myself two pieces of new clothing."
Mu Rousang rolled his eyes at her, and jokingly scolded: "Are you saying that with your little legs, you made a turn and said that there was no cloth for you to cut this year?"
Chun Feng brought in a curtain and said, "Young Mistress, your servant is sixteen now. Would you like to give me a fresh piece of cloth as well?"
There was a rule in the manor that maidservants could only wear dark colored clothes, and could not cross over with the color that her master liked.
"Forget it!" She got up and walked over to the south window. Pushing it open, she shouted into the spring air, "I remember there are some silver and red and plum colors. Go and dig them out. Each of you will get one."
"Okay." Chun Yi answered from outside and went back to work.
Mu Rousang then closed the window and walked to the side of the incense cage and asked: "How come you brought all these back so quickly today?"
"Young Mistress, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Eldest Young Lady will be thinking of splitting the family in that house."
Mu Rousang squinted his eyes and said happily: No rush, take it slow, you are too quick to stir up her thoughts, it is easy to fall into the eyes of the people, in the end, big brother is not a housekeeper, adding that the beating she has suffered, I am afraid that she only values the silver more, you all must do your best to help me with this mission, not only do it well, but do it well, and make all of the clan members nod in satisfaction and praise him.
The girls hurriedly agreed. They knew that these were the most important things, so they didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
"That's right, Chun Yan, go back and ask your aunt. See if the four maids from the second class are good enough. If they're well-trained, then take this opportunity to bring them up to our courtyard."
Mu Rousang calculated that the entire family was busy with New Year's Eve matters, and the Madam Hou had to take charge of all sorts of things to worry about, so it was likely that they wouldn't be able to split their minds to care about such small matters. It would be too late if she found out by the end of the year.
"Yesterday, I heard from my aunt that it was still useful, and it just so happens that I have to help Young Mistress with the sacrificial ceremony these days. Why not take this opportunity to bring them in and have them listen to some servants in the courtyard first, then we can slowly hand over the matters of their servants to them?"
When Chun Yun saw Mu Rousang calling the four people in, he knew that Mu Rousang planned to marry them out in the next two years.
Seeing them listless, Mu Rousang laughed and scolded them: "Even if you two were to do this, even if you were to marry someone, you would still have to wait on me. Forget about the rest, even if the four of you know the arts of the hands and feet, I would still not be willing to give you up to others."
When night fell, Yang Zixuan finally came back with a tired body. Mu Rousang hurriedly helped him into the house, and Chun Lian smiled at the side, "Young Master, you sure have a big mouth today. Our Young Mistress has cooked and stewed some chicken soup for you."
"Oh, thank you, my wife. Your husband is so lucky tonight." The finger holding onto her small hand gently scratched her small palm. Mu Rousang's heart trembled as she turned her head to glare at her. This fellow shouldn't have given him the chance to look at his face.
On the other hand, she replied sweetly, "Seeing that you've been too tired recently and also thinking that you haven't washed your hands and cooked the broth, I had this thought for a while." In truth, she saw that Yang Zixuan was working too hard, so she said that she wanted to do it herself, but in reality, she had added spatial water s into the soup.
"You are so busy that you can't even touch the ground. You can do it when you have the space." Yang Zixuan also knew how busy she was.
"It's just a matter of talking, it's all thanks to Aunty and those girls." Mu Rousang helped him wash his face, then ordered him to set up a meal. The husband and wife together did not talk about the troublesome matters outside, they only kissed me and then fell asleep.
In these 25 to 26 days, Yang Zixuan was idle at home, so he asked Mu Rousang for permission to collect some animals.
"You're quite smart. This matter is much more useful than Chun Xiao and the others. But don't forget to tell them that we paid for it with private money."
Mu Rousang warned her while she helped him tidy his clothes. Seeing her open and close her mouth continuously, Yang Zixuan only felt that it was extremely delicious.
When the two of them tidied up their clothes again, it was already late in the morning. Mu Rousang could not help but complain, "Are you a hungry ghost that was reincarnated? "It's fortunate that my mother spared me these few days of greeting. Grandmother also knows that I have to busy myself with the matter of the sacrificial offering, so she didn't let them know."
Yang Zixuan pulled her into his embrace and softly said: "After I'm busy with my first day of work, your husband will bring you out to have fun everyday. If grandmother and mother has any questions, tell me to take you out for a walk with your colleagues."
"Other than visiting family and friends, what else can we do in this first month?" Mu Rousang was more willing to stay at home to roast the fire.
Yang Zixuan held up a strand of hair by her ear and sniffed, then teased: "My wife, there isn't a single place on your body that isn't fragrant."
Mu Rousang pouted. "Yeah, my farts are all fragrant."
"Haha …" Yang Zixuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was his fortune to be able to marry her.
Due to the matter of Yang Juan Er thinking about spring, Mu Rousang's affairs became much smoother. In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed, and on the 29th day, the Matriarch Yang sent someone to invite Mu Rousang over, she then turned to the little girl who was delivering the message: "Go and answer to my grandmother first, I will go once I've finished ordering these things."
Chun Yan no longer needed Mu Rousang to tell her to go to the hall of the west wing. He grabbed a handful of fried melon seeds and stuffed them into the little girl's hands, then asked the little girl for a clean handkerchief to wrap some snacks. He smiled and said, "Don't reject them.
The little girl got food and smiled. "Thank you, big sister Chun Yan, for coming to the matriarch's room today with the Eldest Young Lady, it seems like thirty years is all that matters. I don't know how the sacrifice is going, but the matron is still crying and complaining to the matriarch, saying that our house has been looked down upon, and the clan's lives are not as good as they were in the past."
How could Chun Lian not understand the meaning behind Madam Hou's words? Mu Rousang had merely made the clan members turn their cattle into silver, as she was willing to accept one beast at a time.
She took out five or six copperplate s from her bag and handed them over to her, then smiled: "It's not easy for you to go out on this snowy day, I'll give you some money so you can buy some sweets."
She accepted it with a smile and said, "I heard that the Third Young Madam is a good place to meet. It seems like what they said is true, I was just lucky enough to be here today, so I waited outside the door to listen to them."
Chun Yan rolled his eyes and took out a few copperplate s for her to play with and said: "My family's Chun Yi is also a playboy, it's just that you all know that this courtyard is too far away from the other courtyards and everyone does not like to walk all the way here to find her. It really bored her to death, so if you are free in the future, please take a walk with her and save her the trouble of being an eighth brother."
The little girl was a son of a family, so how could she not understand the meaning behind his words. She smiled and agreed, stuffed the copperplate into her bag, and left with another bag of snacks. As she walked, she thought that this Third Young Madam was much better than the people who stayed behind, and was also thinking of taking a walk around this room with the lass.
On the other hand, once Chun Yan went back to his room to report this, Mu Rousang could only smile faintly. This time, the face-slapping will be done directly by the clan members, it had nothing to do with her. Not only did she earn less silver from the ancestors, she even asked the imperial clansmen to slap her in the face. The dignified matriarch actually didn't want to handle the matter of the sacrifice!
"Young Mistress, today, Cai Yi Pavilion will bring you the newly made Goldsilk Fourteen Blossom Blossom Carnivore Silver Rat Leather Cloak." Chun Yi walked in from outside with a large wooden box in her arms.
Mu Rousang's eyes lit up, and she laughed: "Quickly put it on." Most likely, every woman would like to add new clothes to their wardrobe after a while. She was also bound to be vulgar.
At the side, Chun Lian covered her mouth and laughed. "Look at how happy Young Mistress is. It seems like our Young Master's thoughts haven't been in vain."
"I heard that this year's Southern Wilderness is unstable and there are many small fights and ruckus. I thought this rascal wouldn't be able to count on us, but who would have thought that he still held back." Although he was complaining on the surface, Mu Rousang's heart felt like it had drank honey and wanted to treat Yang Zixuan better.
The few of them laughed as they changed their clothes, then left the house with their oil-paper umbrellas. The group walked to the exit of the Matriarch Yang Courtyard, only to find that the air suddenly became heavy, and an unusual atmosphere started to seep out of the courtyard. The courtyard became extremely quiet, and all the girls and Wives s that were waiting outside stood respectfully at the foot of the walkway.
"Matriarch, the Third Young Madam is here!"
The little girl at the door lifted up the curtain, and the old granny lass below the porch respectfully welcomed her. Mu Rousang's eyes shined slightly as he guessed what was going on.
The group walked into the main hall with a gust of cold air and a little girl came up to help them take off their cloaks. Han Xiang came around from behind the screen and said: "Third Young Madam, please come in." They circled around the entrance of the hall. Not only were there Matriarch Yang, Madam Hou and Su Waner, the eldest brother and wife of the loyal Marquis, his two daughter-in-laws, and their daughter-in-law.
