Mu Rousang had to go again, and after going through a circle, Matriarch Yang finally waved her forward, telling her to take out her reading glasses, and after putting on the glasses, he started sizing her up. He pouted unhappily and said: "What are those girls doing, it seems like you've gotten tired by quite a bit."
The few rooms were all sitting in the hall, and seeing that the Matriarch Yang was pampering her, Mu Rousang thought for a bit, then realized that there must be someone who was restless. The Matriarch Yang had borrowed her to beat up the rest of the Sun's daughter-in-law.
"Grandmother loves and loves, but this is the first time Sun's daughter-in-law has taken care of such a great matter. One reason is because we are afraid of messing things up, so we naturally have to be careful of everything, and the two of us also want to make love in front of the clan members, so that everyone can see that our house treats the clan members like our grandfather."
Matriarch Yang liked hearing those words. He glanced at her and scolded: "Your clever mouth seems to have been smeared with honey."
However, her face did not show it at all, and her smile became even more amiable. "Matriarch, look at my Third Son's Wife's sharp mouth, it really makes one unable to love him, and I can't wait for her to say that he was dead."
Matriarch Yang smiled kindly, and said: "That's right, this girl is a kind person. You can't handle it all by yourself, and even happily accepted the hard work."
"I'm only helping my mother." Anyone could say that Mu Rousang disliked Madam Hou, just like how Madam Hou disliked her.
The Eldest Aunt who was sitting next to her covered her mouth and chuckled, "Today, I would like to thank Zi Xuan's wife. This year, our clan's life is much better, Grand Matriarch, if not for me praising you, Sun's daughter-in-law, she would not only arrange the sacrificial ceremony to the satisfaction of the clan's relatives, she would also send some wood charcoal to help the families to have a warm year."
Young's disease was born a merchant's daughter, so it was not easy to squeeze into The House of the Marquis of Loyalty.
Standing behind Young's disease, Third Sister-in-Law Yang flattered her: "What mother says makes sense, not all of the clan members in back street have a happy life, originally they had to spend a lot of money to survive this winter, but fortunately, our sister-in-law is someone who will come and is rich, so she was willing to help the clan relatives."
These past few days, she had been wanting to watch a show in the house, but in the end, she did not receive any news. Only a few days ago, when the Madam Hou sent a letter saying that the matter of the sacrifice had been handed over to the three houses' Third Young Madam s, did they realise that the sky had changed in the house.
Madam Hou was extremely angry in his heart, but he still smiled: "Good child, it's been hard on you these few days. Seeing you as a proper child, the eunuch in charge of the sacrifices in the palace is not someone that can be casually invited."
She couldn't help but want to choke her to death. Originally, she could have suppressed the price and kept the cattle and sheep for a while longer, waiting for spring to start before selling them again. However, she didn't expect Mu Rousang to cut in.
Mu Rousang laughed coldly in her heart, she turned to face the Madam Hou and said very innocently: "Sigh, my wife was initially worried about this, so she secretly sent people to ask my wife, who would have thought that seeing my wife do such a decent job for the first time, she would be even more worried than my daughter-in-law. After hearing the news, not only was she worried, she even tossed and turned the entire family of old people around, and somehow spread it to the ears of the Princess Huaiqing.
Actually, Princess Huaiqing did it for the Princess Jing'an, Mu Rousang did not have the qualifications to ask her to do so.
Madam Hou was stumped, she knew that Mu Rousang had done a beautiful job this time, and she couldn't find any mistakes, so she went silent and sat at the side.
"Mother, I heard that you're short on money to handle this year's sacrificial ceremony?" Sigh, I'm afraid elder sister-in-law has been involved in a lot of family matters over the past few years. So much so that it would be hard for her to take care of Zi Xuan's wife. " This time, the one who spoke was Young's, his own little brother's wife.
Mu Rousang sat at the side and watched coldly, seeing the Young's's words, she thought that it was a good idea if she did not listen carefully, but in reality, she had brought it on both sides.
If the power of the manor was in her hands, why would her eldest son marry Lady Liu? However, the Jin Clan was more suited to her plans, she turned and looked at Madam Hou with displeasure and asked: "Are you short on silver?"
Madam Hou was extremely stifled as he laughed, "In reply to Matriarch, last year, Zhi Er got married. This year, Xuan'er got married again.
The meaning behind her words was that he couldn't blame her for being short on money.
The Matriarch Yang stared at her for a long while before sighing, "You can't ask the Sansun's daughter-in-law to use his own money." She was very clear that if these words were to spread, the Hou Mansion would have to go downhill, and they would need the support of Sun's daughter-in-law's dowry.
No matter how much you eat, you can't get close to anything. Furthermore, even though the marriage between the two children was very expensive, the public officials had already prepared a few things for them to marry into the family, so it would only cost some silver for the banquet. However, the gifts that the guests sent should have exceeded the silver for the banquet, and the expenses for the repairs should also be paid for the girls' expenses for the Wives s of the various courtyards.
On the surface, the Matriarch Yang did not seem to be in charge, but he clearly knew all the small matters in the family. Mu Rousang had thought highly of her, thanks to her caution, she only drew a line in Su Waner's courtyard, to the point where she did not dare touch the Matriarch Yang.
The Madam Hou hurriedly said, "Grand Matriarch, although there are some benefits in being a official, more than half of it is given to the clan members of the back street. The remaining amount is just enough for the clan members to use."
The Matriarch Yang did not believe him, but after hearing the words of the Madam Hou till this point, if they were to spread the story further, it would set off the matter of the back street, including the two families that were sitting at the table, it would mean the separation of their families.
"Alright, eleven thousand taels of silver is a bit tight." She then turned to Mu Rousang and asked: "Do you still want to use the silver?"
Mu Rousang thought, this previous generation's big house and third house probably only came later, and she already had a plan, so she replied: "Grandmother, don't worry, in the end, this matter will be settled well, you just need to rest assured."
She didn't mention whether the silver was useful or not. No matter how hard she tried to answer, she just couldn't let it go.
Young's covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed lightly: "Sister-in-law is so lucky, this Zixuan's daughter-in-law is truly capable, in the future you will be able to relax a bit, so that you can hide from us, us family members, and come out for a walk, eat, drink and play."
However, at this time, he discovered that ever since he had offended Mu Rousang with the matter of selling carbon, he did not have any happy days ahead of him, and his heart was filled with even more hatred towards Mu Rousang and Madam Hou.
Although he didn't know what to say, he still replied, "Third Aunt is right. We siblings have always been the type to cause trouble. Mother has always been more at ease with her help."
How could Su Waner not tell that Madam Hou had pinched the silver coin that was used for offering sacrifices? She pouted her lips in disdain, it was fortunate that she did not take over the task, if not she would be the one paying the silver. But why was she feeling so uneasy?
When Madam Hou saw that Young's and his son had come here today, it was likely that they had discussed this matter before coming over. He then said, "Sigh, good child, you have been working wholeheartedly for our house.
Then, she reached out and grabbed Su Waner's small hand, and said with a face full of love: "A few days ago, your body wasn't agile, and I told you to rest well, but you couldn't endure this leisure, so you insisted on helping me with some tasks. It's just that now your sister wants to talk about marriage, and needs to teach her some sect's matters first …"
As he said that, he looked at Mu Rousang with a troubled face, the meaning in his words was obvious.
Mu Rousang raised her eyebrows, she was planning to seize power now, so she reached out to Matriarch Yang's arm and said: "Grandmother, Sun's daughter-in-law is displeased, look, Mother only dotes on Big Sis."
Seated below, the Young's disease that was seriously looking at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand lifted her head, glanced at her, then quickly lowered her head. No one noticed the glint that flashed across her eyes.
"Alright, my old bones are about to be broken into pieces by you. My wife, the Great Sun's daughter-in-law's body is not that nimble right now, so you should take care of her and not put in too much effort. Furthermore, why hasn't her stomach swelled up yet?"
Although the Matriarch Yang did not like the Madam Hou, but Yang Zizhi was the first grandson. That's right, he was counting on this great-grandson of his.
The Madam Hou thought so, but she was unwilling to give up so easily. Earlier, she came to complain, and if not for the interference of the Fang and Third Branch, Mu Rousang was afraid that the matter of the sacrifice would be taken back into her own hands.
"Ah, Matriarch, you're talking about the worry of a daughter-in-law. Two wives have already been married into the family for quite some time, but none of them have the stomach to blow-dry. What a sad white man's hair." The Madam Hou was also annoyed, Yang Zixuan's wife could not be pregnant, but why was his own wife so disappointing?
The Matriarch Yang glanced at her and said: "Our house has only two grandsons in the third generation. In our house, we can only count on these two people to open up their branches and leaves in order to support this house."
She was trying to beat up Madam Hou, Young's and his wife's stomachs were full of goods.
Mu Rousang sat at the side and pursed her lips with a smile. In such a short period of time, the matter had devolved to the side, yet there was someone who couldn't bear to look at her.
Su Waner's slightly shrill voice pierced the peace within the room, and she asked: "Sister-in-law, it's been hard on you to pay your respects, I heard that those things were all taken from the villa in your hands?"
