She took the handkerchief and wiped the tears off Yang Juan Er's face, and said: "Don't be sad anymore, if you carefully cry until your eyes swell up, tomorrow, I'm afraid that your aunt won't be too happy. Moreover, I believe that tomorrow, your Sister-in-law will definitely go over to pay respects to her aunt, so you can go and stop her as soon as possible, and ask if you understand what's going on?"
In the end, she was still persuaded by Huang Lian. She thought to herself that if she asked Sister-in-law for help at that time, maybe she could meet him again, but she was very angry at him, so why did he need to push her into the palace?
Mu Rousang didn't know that Yang Juan Er had started to hate her, but early the next morning, she followed Yang Zixuan obediently like a young wife to the courtyard of the Madam Hou.
When the two of them reached there, Yang Juan Er was already there. The two of them greeted them peacefully and Mu Rousang pretended not to know what Yang Juan Er was thinking.
The reason for the appearance of the Madam Hou was still unclear, but after being reminded by Mu Rousang, she turned her head and sized her up, then asked: "Why are you so haggard? "But did you not sleep well at night?"
Yang Juan Er did not want Madam Hou to know, so he hurriedly said: "Last night, it was too late to talk to Cousin Sister, so I couldn't sleep soundly."
Madam Hou said unhappily: "She has already entered your big brother's room, you should also prepare for the wedding. You have a lot of wives under you, Third Son's Wife, so please help her out today."
Mu Rousang chuckled: "Of course it's because of Fourth Sister, I'll have to help out a bit. Alright, when I get back, my wife will send two embroidery ladies over from the shop, if mother has anything, feel free to ask them to do it."
She neither agreed nor disagreed, so she called for help from the mansion. Madam Hou had wanted to take advantage of her while she was still on the goods, but Mu Rousang had called someone over to the house instead. She could only laugh and say: "That's great, but I wonder how much money the embroidery ladies will earn?"
Mu Rousang had been waiting for her here for a long time, and replied: "Mother is always talking about people who belong to my shop, why would I need mother to start a new business? Moreover, when we arrive at our residence, we will have to wait, and our marquis will lose two people."
Madam Hou felt awkward again. How was this not giving money? If the Hou Mansion did not give money, then who knows when the two embroidery ladies would go out and say that the Hou Mansion was a poor place.
However, since her words had already come to this point, she couldn't take it back anymore. She forcefully smiled and said, "That's great. You also have to put in some effort to pick out two people with better temperament."
Mu Rousang did not expose her words, and only laughed, and replied: "Mother only needs to be at ease, all the embroidery ladies in my shop know what's good for them, it's just that they are a little more straightforward, and do things without a trace of carelessness."
Her reply made Madam Hou unable to find anything wrong. She had originally wanted to take advantage of her, but did not expect Mu Rousang to go against her.
"What do you mean sloppy?" Mother, are you talking about Little Girl's marriage? " Su Waner's face was flushed red today. She was dressed in fragrant autumn clothes, and her head swayed slightly as she walked.
Yang Zizhi, who was walking in front of her, also asked: "Mother, the marriage in Little Girl should be more solemn, why don't we leave the matter of giving her some furniture?"
As if it was the first time that Madam Hou knew Yang Zizhi, he sized him up before saying: "I'm sure that your sister's marriage has changed his personality, and now that you're old enough to understand something, I just happen to be an old man. I should be learning how to be a servant, so I'll hand over this task to you, I'll explain in detail to you later."
Mu Rousang and Yang Zixuan greeted Yang Zizhi and his wife once again. Only then did she laugh: "Eldest Sister-in-law, mother and I were talking about the Fourth Sister's embroidery and how it was done. You should also know that the embroidery ladies in my shop are pretty decent, so mother told me to send two of the embroidery ladies over to help little sister with this matter."
Su Waner laughed: "Congratulations, little sister, I did not expect you to be assigned a job."
"It's not really a job, it's just a small favor. He's not like Big Brother, when he shouted that he wanted to work for the school, Mother gave him this first-class job."
Mu Rousang was unfair to Yang Zixuan, but that was the only thing his husband could do. He could only sit at the side and do nothing, while Madam Hou continued to act as an elder.
"What kind of job?" The Marquis of Loyalty came in from the outside, and the group stood up immediately, he walked straight up to the hall and sat down.
He had just crawled out of his concubine's bed and was planning to do some work. When he remembered that Yang Juan Er marrying as the successor was his greatest priority, he immediately rushed over to the Madam Hou's courtyard.
Yang Zixuan's eyes jumped as he quickly replied, "Reporting to father, mother is saying that she wants big brother to work for her."
What do you mean by 'husband and wife being together', Mu Rousang had such a look, but seeing that she had followed Yang Zixuan to pay respects to the Marquis of Loyalty, her small mouth started to crackle as she said: "That's right, father, you don't even know how hardworking brother is right now, so early on you came over and asked mother for the task of arranging Fourth Sister's grand wedding."
She didn't say that the Madam Hou had treated her husband badly, but she would admonish him for this. What kind of person was Yang Zizhi, to be able to swim in the sea of wine while fighting in the cricket and snatch the young lady's first-rate son.
Hearing that, Marquis of Loyalty's face changed again, a pair of old eyes pierced towards Yang Zizhi like a sharp sword, the Evil Qi around his body trembled, in the end Yang Zizhi was so scared that he fell back, almost falling down on his butt.
"Humph!"
Ever since Yang Zixuan had become a flower scout, Marquis of Loyalty had frequently compared him with Yang Zizhi, and this comparison was not too big of a deal. He felt that Yang Zizhi was a mud that could not support a wall, and adding that in the past two years, Marquis of Loyalty had interacted with a few civil servants, he would often hear people praising Yang Zixuan, so he slowly started to lean towards Yang Zixuan.
"Do you expect this piece of trash to do his job well? Do you want your whole family to follow you and lose their heads? "Ignorant woman!"
Ever since Yang Juan Er's marriage was set up, Marquis of Loyalty was no longer able to endure it patiently. No matter how angry Madam Hou got at him, she could not go back home and complain to her parents.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Master Hou, Zi Zhi is your direct son, and the house of the Marquis wants him as its head in the future, if he has this intention, he will naturally learn how to handle matters properly. Furthermore, I will have someone follow along, so why would they tell him to make a mistake?"
Yang Zixuan lowered his head and reached out his hand to play with the handkerchief. Yang Zixuan also stood on the side obediently, not saying a word, until Yang Zizhi said, "Father, how is it that I can't do bad things? Mother was not wrong, the Hou Mansion is mine from now on, I will learn to do good bad things."
Su Waner hurriedly advised: "That's right, Father, don't be angry. Husband had thought about it all night, and thought that Little Girl is his sister.
Mu Rousang raised his head to look at her, and sure enough, it was Su Waner who was trying to hide behind her back, she felt that if this was the case, why not make this matter even more chaotic?
She raised her head and smiled coquettishly, "Husband, you should go to the yamen. If you're late, don't make your colleagues laugh."
Yang Zixuan squinted his eyes, satisfied with the intelligence of his wife. Both of them did not mention the matter of fighting over the errand boy, but he walked forward a few steps and said to Marquis of Loyalty: "Father, son still has matters to attend to. In these few days, the Emperor summoned Scholar Li from the Hanlin House to accompany him, thus many tasks were assigned to his son and colleagues."
Marquis of Loyalty stroked his beard, turned his head, and nodded. "Zi Xuan has become more and more stable when it comes to his job, so today, after you came back from the yamen, go to the study room. Father has something to discuss with you."
Yang Zixuan immediately agreed, but Marquis of Loyalty did not allow him to leave first, and immediately followed Mu Rousang's lead.
The Marquis of Loyalty then turned to Yang Zizhi who was seated on the left side of him and said: "Your sister's marriage is not something to be trifled with. It's not like you have ever done anything as big as marrying into the imperial family.
He then turned to the Madam Hou beside him and said: "The royal family and the rules, Zi Zhi is too frivolous and cannot take on this big responsibility, you should pick out a few small matters for him to practice with!"
Madam Hou grumbled in his heart about how biased Marquis of Loyalty was, why couldn't he, as his son, treat this bastard, who should have gone to the Underworld a long time ago, with such kindness?
Just that at this time, the Marquis of Loyalty was looking at her, waiting for her to explain everything. Since she could not quarrel with him now, she said: "Master Hou is right, Zi Zhi is not good at handling errands, he should have taken some small matters to practice first."
When Marquis of Loyalty saw that she did not mention Yang Zixuan's matter, he just sat there and coldly snorted, then glared at her with his tiger-like eyes. Madam Hou felt even more unhappy, then said: "Master Hou's decision on how Zi Xuan should serve, is entirely up to Master Hou." Even if he killed her, she wouldn't arrange a job for this little bastard.
The Marquis of Loyalty was also getting more and more annoyed, why couldn't a dignified matriarch like her, even his own bastard son, handle it? Seems like, he had been good to Yang Zixuan in the past, and now he felt a bit of guilt.
"Zixuan, you have already been working seriously for the past two years. Why don't you help me prepare the paintings in your Fourth Sister's dowry?"
Yang Zixuan hurriedly replied and asked: Have you chosen a auspicious day for the Venerate Heavens Sect?
Marquis of Loyalty thought for a moment and said, "The wedding date is on the fifth day of May, and once the crown prince returns from the sacrificial ceremony at Mt. Tai, the wedding date will be announced. It's just that the wedding date has not been set yet, so the date is a little tight.
"Dad, what about me?" Yang Zizhi secretly pinched Yang Zizhi's nose, causing him to scream in pain.
Marquis of Loyalty glared at him angrily and scolded: "You shallow thing, how can you miss your job?"
He turned around and said to the Madam Hou: "Hand over the matter of him buying flowers and herbs first, and then take on other tasks once he is done."
Madam Hou was sitting there sulking, now he had a straight back. He was the future leader of the nation, who would dare to slap their faces in front of him? They did not want to argue after hearing his words, they could only reply coldly.
