After sending Xia Chan back to her job, she pushed open the window beside the soft couch and called out to the courtyard: "Chun Yun, come in and let's go. I have something to talk to you about."
Now that Chun Yan was married, he naturally could not stay by Mu Rousang's side to attend to her. Chun Jing and co. were laughing and talking in the room as they crowded around the window and shouted, "Mother Chun Yan, come quickly.
Spring Dye was in the Kitchen to explain things to the two cook s. Hearing everyone's shouts, his face reddened, but he still walked out of the kitchen with small steps.
"All of you have nothing better to do. If you see anything, see if I can't beat you up. Even if I catch you next time, I'll still cut you up a bit."
Spring Breeze leaned by the window and smiled towards Mu Rousang, "Young Mistress, quickly take a look at Spring Dye's mother. How long has it been since we got married, her entire body is filled with the aura of a wife."
After Chun Yan became the steward of the courtyard, his words became more and more vicious. She replied, "Chunfeng, just laugh at me for now. Hmph, once Young Mistress marries you out, we will have another tender mother."
Spring Scene covered her mouth as she giggled. Luckily, she was smart enough not to be scolded at.
After hearing their shouts, Mu Rousang's mood became a lot more relaxed. He smiled and said: "Alright, stop surrounding the windows, Spring Dye, come in quickly."
Xia Yu laughed, "I will go make a cup of cold tea for Spring Dye's mother."
Spring Scene then whispered, "Spring Dye Mom likes to drink osmanthus tea."
The two of them winked at each other, provoking another round of laughter from the crowd.
Chun Yan walked in and asked, "What good thing did all of you say? Why are you smiling so viciously?"
"They're laughing. When others were still called daughter-in-law, you became a mother at such a young age." Mu Rousang shamelessly sold all the lass in the room.
"Young Mistress!" lass's crisp laughter sounded from inside the house.
Xia Yu brought the tea over and handed it to her, then laughed: "It's very hot in the kitchen, I think you should be sweating a lot, quickly eat a cup of cold tea, don't worry, it's been in the well for a while, I, Young Mistress can't eat it, but these delicious ghosts inside the house."
He took the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. Only then did he speak with satisfaction, "During that time, I was hoping that Young Mistress would come a little faster in the next few days, so that we girls could drink more iced wine."
At this time, Mu Rousang had already left the window, and was slanted onto the soft couch. The tip of her nose had a faint fragrance of grass, which was the smell emitted by the green mat lying on the bed.
Chun Yan smiled and replied. "Is there something Young Mistress needs for me to tell you? "Today, the manor sent a few large, fresh, fat carp. The servant had someone wash them clean and marinate them, and happened to bring them out during dinner time to make them red braised fish."
Mu Rousang really liked to eat crucian carp, so every now and then, in the middle of the night, she would catch some fresh fish and take advantage of the starlight to rush to the city.
"Very good, remember to put on more spicy gluten. Oh yeah, I'm looking for you to talk about aunt's matter."

"Very good, remember to put on more spicy gluten. Oh yeah, I'm looking for you to talk about aunt's matter."
She indicated for Xia He to bring an embroidery block over for Chun Yan to sit down next to her and said, "As time goes by, you will often have me sit next to you. I have also understood Aunt's background the most, and on that day, I promised her that after she ends up dying a hundred years from now, you will definitely have to take care of this courtyard as she aged day by day. I think that it wouldn't be too much for you to say that she has been teaching you for a long time."
"It was for this matter that Young Mistress mentioned it in the past. It was because I never had the right time to do so that I decided to acknowledge my aunt as my godmother. Now that I have received instructions from Young Mistress, I will buy some vegetarian snacks for everyone to gather in the future so that I can tell everyone that my Aunt will have my servant keep them from now on."
Mu Rousang laughed and waved her hand, then said: "Initially, in order to keep my aunt's promise to provide for her, I will be the one to pay for the money, but at that time, you have to take care of her."
"That's only natural."
In these past few years, Aunt Liu had completely taught her everything she had learned. In the future, Chun Yan and Chun Yi would be the right arm and the left arm of Mu Rousang. As Yang Zixuan's position rises, many of the things she and Chun Yi had learnt from Aunt Liu would come in handy.
Only then did he say: "Two days ago, I entrusted Zi Xuan to look up Aunt's official records. It turns out that the eighth day of June was her birthday, so you should find a place to give Aunt some of this jewelry."
Chun Ran held the jewelry box in her arms and said, "Thank you, Young Mistress. Today, this servant found out that my aunt's birthday is coming up. I asked her about it in the past, but she didn't answer, so I had no choice but to give up."
"It's just that Zixuan's path is a bit wider now. It won't be hard to investigate."
Then, she thought about the four girls that taught Mu Fengchai, and asked: "Last time, I heard Aunt say that it was almost time to teach her, have you seen her recently?"
"Those little girls have already been arranged by Chun Yi to train in the ravine. Moreover, Aunt is afraid that they might not be used to it, so she went along to watch them as well."
How could Mu Rousang not know? Aunt Liu was afraid that those little girls would not be able to take the hardships and become lazy.
"When the time comes, you will need to take the exam. If you don't meet the requirements, you must continue to stay in the mountains."
Xia Yu pursed her lips and laughed by the side: "That's right, those few people who don't seem like they took several years of training to get there. It's only been less than a year, I think those four people must have suffered a lot."
"My Young Mistress only has this one cousin, she has a big pet in her hands when she's young, something that tastes good and is fun to look at, she has to leave a portion of it for the Third Miss, which is for the two little girls beside her that were originally prepared by the My Young Grandmother. That's why she's called Third Miss, and why she has to prepare four more dishes that are as beneficial to her as Chun Cao and the spring rain."
Chun Ran held the jewelry box in her arms and said, "Thank you, Young Mistress. Today, this servant found out that my aunt's birthday is coming up. I asked her about it in the past, but she didn't answer, so I had no choice but to give up."

That's why she's called Third Miss, and why she has to prepare four more dishes that are as beneficial to her as Chun Cao and the spring rain."
Mu Rousang did not care about all these. She had already prepared the hundred year old Echinacea lanceolata Maxim wood that Mu Fengchai would use for her wedding, so how could it not be as good as what she wanted?
"It's only a few girls. The four of you are the ones who taught them kung fu, so I don't have to worry that she will suffer a loss if she marries with these four girls in the future."
"Young Mistress, I heard that you've been feeling very uncomfortable these past few days, so you sent some spicy cold powder over."
At this time, Xia Hua brought over a pot of cold powder covered with peanuts and spicy red oil, and said: "Madam is very considerate."
At the side, Chun Yan sneered. "You didn't see her like that back then. Only our young mistress is of high status now. She doesn't have the guts to act so arrogantly in front of our young mistress."
Mu Rousang laughed: "Sigh, she doesn't know anything about writing books. Back then, the Yue Clan's food supply was all tightened up their belt and as a mother, she naturally had to plan for her child. This is also understandable."
"Hmph, only Young Mistress is kind." But Spring Dye didn't like Mulberry at all.
Mu Rousang shook her head and said: "I also don't like her, but I can't do that. She is our Eldest Aunt, my cousin's mother and cousin's brother, and I can't kill her just to vent my anger. Forget it, since we can't even meet once a year, since yang-ge and Feng Chai have been taught well, let her be!"
