"Chun Yi is right. Left and right, they have to take care of the errands by themselves. This time, there are still four of them. If they can't even look at their families well, what's the use of them?"
Mu Rousang lifted the red curtain with her slender jade fingers and asked: "Have you smoked well on your clothes? Let's go home early and be lazy. "
She calculated that there was nothing important for the second year of Hou Mansion, so she wanted to take advantage of the day to start walking around in different houses. When she thought about the matter of the gifts, she asked if they were ready for the new year.
The Spring Festival had already been smoked, then the two of them waited on her, and sent their wives to invite Yang Zixuan.
Yang Zixuan kept to what he said and from the first two days of the new year, he brought Mu Rousang to leave early and return late. Because he still hadn't split up his residence and those colleagues of his didn't want him to come to the Hou Mansion to visit.
It's already been a year, so I'm going to the yamen tomorrow. If you have free time, you can ask the wives of your colleagues to go out and drink some tea and listen to some songs. The Eastern Palace's doctor has been doing his best to treat her, but his body is so empty that he can't make up for it.
Mu Rousang finally understood that Yue Yang must be asking her to take advantage of the time it took for nothing to happen, and to be happy for as long as it took her a few days.
"I am thinking the same way, left or right, I can't stay at home, you didn't see your Fourth Sister, so when you had free time, you ran over here, luckily I followed you out, and made her pounce on empty air."
Mu Rousang tidied up his clothes as she replied, and seeing that his clothes were a little old, she said: "Spring is about to come, the farmlands are going to be busy, and your clothes are going to be sewn. I really don't have the mind to bother about her."
"Don't worry about her, even if you want to kick her out of the palace this year, she won't be able to do it when you get into the palace." Yang Zixuan couldn't wait to talk about Yang Juan Er, he had only urged Mu Rousang to sew him a few more spring dresses already.
She smiled and said, "Alright, I'll definitely make you ten, eight pieces."
Yang Zixuan was beaming with joy as he reached out to pinch her micrognathia. He smiled and said, "My wife, your husband is wearing a new set of clothes that you made.
Mu Rousang's daughter was extremely outstanding and her personality was also quick and agile. Yang Zixuan could only wish he could knead her to the bone and bring her away everyday.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go greet mother." She did not want to meet Yang Juan Er, since every time after the new year, she would either go early or go back at night. In short, it was when Yang Juan Er was not around.
The two of them quickly arrived at the Madam Hou. Yang Zixuan had invited them to the yamen to take care of some errands, but when Mu Rousang wanted to leave, she coincidentally saw Su Waner bringing her group of concubines over. Although Yang Zizhi had wrapped them up a little, his gaze was still first class, with each of them having their own merits and graceful posture.
"Mother, your wife has come late. Please forgive her!" After Su Waner pondered about it for a few days, she became more shrewd, and things at the office were not her usual methods.
Madam Hou was impatiently looking at Mu Rousang, upon seeing him enter, she revealed a rare smile, and said: Quickly sit down and eat the hot tea, is it because of Concubine Yan spitting?
Su Waner smiled sweetly. She first brought a few aunts to pay respects to the Madam Hou, then settled down to eat some hot tea, and said: "That's right, isn't my wife just worrying about her? I went to her room early in the morning to take a look, and was extremely careful when I hit her.
Madam Hou loved hearing these words. No matter how much of a disadvantage she had to offer, she still hoped that Yang Zizhi would have a future, a future where he could prove that he had the ability to inherit the position of the successor.
"Good child, last year I was tired for a year, this year I will rest for a while, this face is actually rare to see a touch of color, mother, go get someone to pick up some bags from the nest my mother sent over, then wrap them up for our wife to steam."
Madam Hou was so happy that she forgot Mu Rousang was still sitting there. She quietly reached out her hands to tug on's sleeves.
Madam Hou then realized that she was being too superficial and smiled amiably: "Third Son's Wife, that bird's nest was obtained from the palace by my mother, it's just that I barely ate it. Your sister-in-law has always had a bad complexion, and wants to help me out with my family matters.
Mu Rousang curled her lips in disdain. Who would want to eat someone's saliva?
"Mother's words are too harsh. This kind of child feels heartache for elder sister-in-law, but this only makes my daughter-in-law feel envious. I know that elder sister-in-law's body is indeed weak." She didn't want that slobbering food.
Madam Hou did not expect her to not care, it was not that Third Son's Wife had many high-grade Blood Swallow Nests, he was only so indifferent to this Golden-Striped Swallow nest. He secretly recorded this matter down and when he had some free time, he would send someone to secretly investigate.
On the surface, however, he was smiling amiably. "Good child, I knew you were always generous. Mother was afraid that you'd think too much!"
Mu Rousang did not think too much about it. She just wanted to quickly split her family's property so that she could use this to her advantage.
Su Waner looked at her fake expression and had the same thought as the Madam Hou.
"Mother, Hanlin House's Madam Zhao has invited his daughter-in-law to his house for a banquet today!" Mu Rousang did not want to deal with the Madam Hou, so she got up and left.
The Madam Hou smiled and nodded in agreement. Just as she stood up and was about to leave, the curtain to the hall was lifted, and Yang Juan Er's red dress was like a red rose blooming at the corner of a wall, beautiful and dazzling.
"Mother, I'm coming. Eh, Sister-in-law, you're here too!" Yang Juan Er ignored Su Waner.
"Cough!" Shen Mama saw that the Madam Hou was sulking and immediately reminded Yang Juan Er.
"Oh, Big Sis is here too. Cousin, you look better today than you did a few days ago!" With Yang Juan Er handling this matter, he was no longer as ignorant as last year, and his mouth had become sweet.
Seeing her coming and going, Madam Hou was happy to see her, she waved her hand and shouted: "Come here, let Mother see, now that you have learnt about housekeeping, you will understand what's good for you. Mommy, look at her mouth, it seems like she ate sweets!"
"That's right. Madam, you can relax now!" Seeing that Yang Juan Er was no longer as mischievous as last year, Shen Mama was happy for him.
"Mom, why did you call me here?" Yang Juan Er sat next to the Madam Hou. Seeing that he was not able to leave for a while, Mu Rousang sat down again.
Madam Hou patted her in his arms and said: "You are seventeen now, so no matter how much I keep you at home, Mother can only stay here. Last year, your Grandmother said that she wanted to find a good upbringing aunt for you."
Speaking to that, she then remembered Mu Rousang and Su Waner's upbringing aunt, the difference in bearing and wealth between the two of them was not just one or two points, which was one of the reasons why Madam Hou found Su Waner so unpleasant to look at.
"upbringing aunt? But he found it? Mother, I want upbringing aunt like you too. "
It really was his daughter cutting off her mother.
Madam Hou was extremely happy, and he happily replied: "Alright, alright, alright, we'll do as you say. This aunt was brought here by your grandfather from the Eastern Palace, and he specifically taught you the rules of etiquette."
It wasn't that Yang Juan Er did not have a upbringing aunt, it was just that he had been invited by a good aunt like everyone else. Ever since Mu Rousang's upbringing aunt appeared, the Madam Hou had increased Yang Juan Er's upbringing aunt level to be on the same level as the Aunt Liu.
"Then when will auntie come over?" Yang Juan Er used to be jealous, but now he was jealous that Mu Rousang had a good upbringing aunt.
"It's these two days. From now on, you will take care of family matters with me every morning. You will learn from me and follow Auntie for the rest of the time." The Madam Hou said.
Yang Juan Er thought for a while and replied: "Very good, it shouldn't be too difficult, it's a bit easier than now."
Su Waner rolled her eyes and said: "Congratulations little sister, I have gotten such a good aunt. I wonder how many girls in the capital are envious!"
Yang Juan Er's heart was like drinking honey. If Big Brother Mu saw that her etiquette was not inferior to Princess Jing'an's, or even better than hers, would he be very happy?
"Then I'll be counting on sister-in-law's blessings. Sister-in-law, I want to consult you first if I have free time later."
Mu Rousang was slightly startled, and lamented that it was no good going out. She didn't flip through the calendar in the morning.
"It's not like it's in the afternoon. What do you think? I still have to go out to see Madame Zhao today."
Madam Hou was extremely unhappy, but he said: "Your Sister-in-law has something to do, you can look for him in the afternoon." Then he smiled at Mu Rousang: "It's just a seventh rank official's family, it's not considered a proper official's body. Just deal with it however you want, you're the daughter-in-law of our Marquis Mansion."
Mu Rousang smiled merrily as she listened, of course, it was only to listen. If she really did as she said, then she would offend Yang Zixuan's comrades.
Standing behind Su Waner, Huang Lian started to become more suspicious. She waited patiently until Mu Rousang and Su Waner had left before she slowly walked behind, which Su Waner did not notice at all.
Huang Lian walked out of the courtyard and stopped moving, she brought her little girl with her and stood by the side of the road, playing with the dead grass, and waited for the time it took to make a cup of tea before seeing Yang Juan Er come out.
"Fourth Sister!" Huang Lian called out softly.
Yang Juan Er was in a good mood, when he saw her, he asked her in surprise: "Hey, Cousin, why are you standing outside in such a cold weather, enjoying the cold wind?"
Huang Lian reached out to hold her back, tightened her cloak, and jokingly scolded, "You're already a girl but still haven't grown up. Only our aunt dotes on you, which is why you're in such a state. You don't even know how to appreciate yourself."
Yang Juan Er reached out and grabbed her arm, and said: "Cousin sister, you've spoiled me so much that I can't freeze."
