"Madam, I think we'll have to consider this matter over long periods of time."
Shen Mama had tasted Yang Zixuan's little fox's skill, so she didn't dare to provoke him easily.
But since Madam Hou was her master, if she said it directly, she would definitely arouse Madam Hou's hatred. If she did not remind him, she was afraid that this matter wouldn't end well, and she was stuck in a dilemma for a while. She planned to delay it for a few days, and then find an opportunity to persuade him.
Madam Hou was the most impatient to hear this, so he said: "Alright, this matter is settled. She is just a little daughter-in-law of our house, how can we let her play around with us? You can go down and take care of this first! "
After the Shen Mama had retreated, he walked to the entrance of the courtyard. She saw that there were two little girls playing around on the carpentry walkway, so she waved to them.
"Mom, why are you looking for us?"
The two little girls had just learned how to be a servant not long ago, so how could they know about these twists and turns?
Shen Mama laughed, and took out a bag of peanut candy from her bosom, and laughed: "You guys can take this candy and eat it. Madam originally wanted to send me to Eldest Young Lady to work there, but I just remembered that my wife is also working there today, and my grandson is afraid that no one will take care of her, so I was thinking about it, how about you two help mother run some errands?"
The two little girls did not suspect her, and agreed to the assignment and split up, going to Su Waner's and Mu Rousang's respective residences.
"What did you say?" Mu Rousang was sitting on the deck, smelling the fragrant osmanthus embroidery, and was very surprised to hear Chun Yan's report.
Chun Yan sat down unhappily, and picked up the embroidered chair that she had thrown down earlier, and said: "What else could I have done, it is Madam sending someone to tell Third Young Madam, to invite you and Eldest Young Lady to go to back street to collect some old food."
Mu Rousang rubbed her forehead and asked: "How many pigs are raised in our house? But did you mention how much food they would charge? "
"The one who came was a little girl. She just said that you can take as much as you want, and also said that you can buy it at the market price." Chun Yan put down the tension in his hand and frowned as he thought about it.
Chun Yi raised his head and said, "Young Mistress, your servant has smelled a terrible stench."
"Scram to the side, you are really getting ahead of yourself, where is the stench of copper …" Mu Rousang paused.
Then, he turned around and said to Chun Yi: "Didn't you say that you would send the cheese we got yesterday to Xing Er to have a taste?"
Chun Yi quickly stood up and said with a smile, "This humble servant has always been thinking about something that I seem to have forgotten, but am unable to recall anything at the same time."
With that, he twisted his small waist and went to open his private storage.
Mu Rousang looked at her flirtatious appearance and clicked his tongue.
Chun Yan was extremely speechless and had to remind her: "Young Mistress, I'm afraid that Eldest Young Lady has received the letter and will be coming over soon."
"That makes sense!" Mu Rousang said as she slapped her temple with her delicate little finger, and said weakly: "Aiyo, don't tell me it's been a heat shock, why is my head so painful?"
Spring View's voice was loud, so when he heard her, he hurriedly shouted, "Aiyo, Young Mistress, what happened to you? "Come quickly, this servant will carry you back to your room and lie down first. I've already said that the chilly wind has injured your body and if you don't comply, you have to do it your own way. You must know that you have suffered greatly."
Mu Rousang was supported by the lass onto the back of the Spring Scene. Listening to her nagging, Mu Rousang rolled her eyes and said softly, "Spring Scene, why don't I remember your sharp tongue?"
Chun Jing proudly replied, "It was said by Chun Yi. It's fine to tell this servant to eat grapes without spitting out the skin, but if I read too much, my mouth will become sharp. At that time, I will argue with others, and with a single curse, this servant will be able to retort three times."
Mu Rousang looked at the courtyard gloomily, did she teach her lass ill?
Sure enough, after Chun Lian and a few others helped Mu Rousang to lie down, Su Waner walked forward with lotus steps and held Huan Er's hands.
"Yo, how come all of you are under the porch?" When Su Waner entered the door, she smiled like a wolf grandma.
Since the spring wind wasn't around, Chun Yan went up and smiled: "Eldest Young Lady is nice. My Young Grandmother originally said that she would go to your courtyard and open the door, but in the end, there is a cold wind blowing down the corridor. My body feels uncomfortable and I will just lie down."
Su Waner was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Mu Rousang to pretend to be sick.
"Is it serious? Do you need a doctor? "
"My Young Grandmother said to first lie down and rest for a while. If you are not well by the time it is time to light the lamp, then ask for a doctor." The spring breeze came out from behind the Spring Dye and greeted him with a well-behaved reply.
But none of the girls said they wanted to wake Mu Rousang up.
Su Waner muttered in her heart: Could it be that he is really seriously ill, or is he just pretending?
"That being the case, then I won't wake your Young Mistress up. Oh right, Mother told me that she wants us to go to back street to gather food."
Chun Ran smiled in an extremely appropriate manner and replied respectfully, "My Young Mistress has a headache, and might not be able to bear the noise. In my opinion, it's fine even if I lose My Young Grandmother s."
"That's right, Eldest Young Lady. Who doesn't know that you are the host in our house." The Spring Festival Gala also gave her a small hug.
Chun Feng laughed. "If this servant were to say, my Young Madam is just acting as a foil to Eldest Young Lady. It's fine if she doesn't feel comfortable with Eldest Young Lady right now."
Su Waner enjoyed listening to this, and thought: This is such a good errand, I can't wait for Mu Rousang to not go.
"That being the case, then I'll send the Wives to go through the doors one by one and interrogate them."
Spring Dye replied quickly, Eldest Young Lady gave him the most face.
Su Waner turned and left the courtyard. After exiting the courtyard, she asked: "Eldest Young Lady, why are you pretending to be sick when you are doing such a good job?"
"She probably followed mother's instructions and was afraid of Dao`er!" Su Waner was extremely happy.
If Mu Rousang did not interfere, she would be able to deduct another amount of silver from the rations. No matter how small the mosquito leg was, it was still meat.
"That's true, Madam has long disliked Third Young Madam!" Pyle found it hard to be a wife.
Su Waner laughed coldly: "Who asked her to marry me so much, if she married too much it would attract attention. Let's go, let's go back!"
After the two of them left, a person walked out from behind a cluster of flowers. It was precisely the person who had gone to find Xing Er earlier, Xia Qianyu.
"Is Young Mistress sleeping?" Spring had fallen into the East, but Mu Rousang was nowhere to be seen.
Spring Rays and Spring Breeze were currently working on the Rohan's bed as a beauty, and hurriedly called her over when they saw that she had returned.
"Didn't Young Mistress guess that the Eldest Young Lady would come over? She said that she had a headache and went to sleep."
Chun Feng asked anxiously from the side, "What, have you found out?"
Mu Rousang, who was lying on the bed, did not sleep. Hearing that there were some movements, she asked: "Has Chunyi come back?"
When Chun Yi was busy in the inner room, he told her what he had heard. Although he didn't know what he meant, he could guess that there was something fishy going on.
Mu Rousang lazily sat up, she leaned on the side of the bed and thought for a while, then said: "Hmph, I knew it wasn't good, she was willing to do it, let's just follow her heart!"
At night, when Mu Rousang told Yang Zixuan about this, she felt that something was wrong.
"Are you saying that Mother wants you and Eldest Sister-in-law to gather Chen Liang?" Yang Zixuan looked at her strangely, and said: "Look at your lazy look, you probably never went there!"
Mu Rousang shook her head like a rattle drum and said, "Am I that stupid?"
Yang Zixuan lightly tapped her nose and said: "Fortunately you did not go. Today, the imperial government has issued a decree to draw out silver from the treasury to buy food for the disaster. That's right, how much food do you have on your hands?
Mu Rousang thought for a while, she had the space to hand it over, adding to the fact that there were still a lot of corn left in the space, if she were to plant it a few more times, she would be able to raise some more, receiving the blessing of the heavens.
"Donating is not a problem, but you have to take out the rules, and you have to decide how the food should be donated, either in the name of the The House of the Marquis of Loyalty or in your name."
Yang Zixuan laughed and replied: Even if you were to use your name, your food would not mix with your big brother. If that's the case, you might as well sell your new food and trade it for silver and keep it in your pocket.
"If you say so, then I am relieved. It would be best if the food was sent directly to the disaster area." Mu Rousang herself received such blessings, she also wanted to do good and do good.
Yang Zixuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, this time, it will not only be our husband and wife, your uncle's family, Jin Jin's family, and Brother Wei's family. There are also some other families and families that would donate food to the Ying Shi Family, the Emperor knows about this, but the Crown Prince does not."
"Could it be the Princess Huaiqing?" Mu Rousang stared at the watery eye. "Yes, if she doesn't make the connection, then who would dare to do such a thing? At that time, we will directly transport the food to the Xiangzhou region and from there, we will take the water route to the place where the disaster happened. I heard that millions of people were affected this time."
Yang Zixuan's heart was also heavy, if the people of the south were hungry, then all the merchants of the world would be affected.
Mu Rousang calculated how many acres of land she could plant and said: "I can even donate some cotton cloth, if it's food, when do you want it?"
"It should be in the next few days. Rest for now, I will go to father's place to tell him about elder brother. If it's just Chen Yu, it'll be fine, but if …" I'm afraid there's going to be trouble. "
Yang Zixuan was extremely furious, the crown prince was obviously not an enlightened person, just with Yang Zizhi, he could do such a big job, it was truly a slap in the face of these scholars who had been studying hard for ten years.
"How about we find a chance to divide the family!"
Mu Rousang was extremely fed up with living with these greedy people. If she were to really settle old debts in the future, it would be the first time that Yang Zizhi had encountered such a thing.
Yang Zixuan's movement of turning around stopped, and said: "Don't worry, there will be a day like this. Before the branch families start, what needs to be settled will have to be settled."
Mu Rousang looked at his retreating back and did not speak further. Perhaps, in Yang Zixuan's heart, it was a pain that could not be touched. One day, when it was about to pierce through that place, it would definitely be very painful …
