When Mu Rousang got the news, she was in Shu City with Left Lady.
"This bright red brocade is not bad. Your skin is white, and your clothes are even more beautiful." The Left Man took a piece of material and compared it to her.
Mu Rousang laughed: "Aunt, don't be so busy with me, quickly pick out the materials, and let the embroidery ladies cut it into new clothes."
"You little girl, how could I wear these colors? I saw a piece of Iris material earlier, and it was also not bad."
"Miss, is this light green material good? I heard from the manager that he just entered the brocade, and it's bright in color, extremely suitable for the young master's identity. " Spring pulled a brocade from another pile.
Mu Rousang tilted her head and looked, then laughed: "I think it's suitable for today, Aunt, do you think that material is good?"
The light green onion color material was neither ostentatious nor dull, it was very suitable for Mu Jinzhi.
When the time comes, he will choose a white jade pendant to make a dark green chain, and at the end, he will act like Young Master Yu. At that time, he will get some snow fox skin or rabbit skin to put on, and at the beginning of spring next year, he will go to Office of the Crown Prince to study, and he will even be able to wear it.
The more Left Lady saw, the more he liked them. He made up his mind to cut off the clothes for the people from the left side as well.
Mu Rousang asked in confusion, "Beijing is the year's Spring Festival Gala, but does Office of the Crown Prince not need to wear a school uniform?"
When you get there, you will learn the Six Arts. One of them is etiquette, where you will meet others and your own clothes will be suitable for you. At any banquet, you will have to learn these clothes in the Office of the Crown Prince.
Left Lady called for the little girl as he spoke. He pointed to the piece of cloth and said, "Compared to Second Young Master, Third Young Master will need to cut one person's clothes."
Mu Rousang then said: "Aunt, last time, son Xuan sent some people over to deliver some materials that are very popular in the capital. Among them were a bunch of Green Bowl chrysanthemums with silver and silk patterns, and he thought that making robes for his brothers is also extremely rich, so I sent some people to get it for my brothers to wear."
Just as Left Lady wanted to agree, spring scenery ran over.
"Miss, Miss Qin has sent you a letter."
Just as Mu Rousang bent down and was about to flip through the pile of ingredients that she liked, she heard spring scenery's words and stuck her head out, smiling: "Quickly show me!"
"Miss, I heard that the person who delivered the letter said that Miss Qin's wedding date has been set."
The Left Lady heard this and asked: "Is it that person who opened a shop with you in the city?"
Mu Rousang nodded. Seeing her expression, Left Lady opened her mouth but did not say anything.
"Today is the third day of the eleventh month, right?"
"Yes!"
"Aunt, the letter from Peach Blossom said that her wedding date was set for November twenty-sixth. She said that it was the best day of November."
Then, thinking that the two concubines from the Zuo family were also going to be married, she didn't have much contact with the two of them, so she asked: "Aunt, Cousin Shu and Cousin Shu …."
"That Peach Blossom is your little sister, right? Good child, just go and add some makeup over here!" The Left Lady's two concubines were both married to the two Elementary Scholars from Shu Province. Since they were chosen during the selection period, they were honest and just average looking.
Mu Rousang thought for a while, in the end she did not want Left Lady to be sad, so she agreed to send her little girl back, picked out two golden hairpins and gave them to her two female cousins, and did not bring up the matter anymore.
When the frost wind blows away and the gull is lost
Mu Rousang's new winter attire was already on her body. She pinched the days together and calculated, then asked the spring breeze, which was embroidered with pyrethrum, "Today, what's the dozen today?"
Chun Feng put down the flower trap in his hand and said smilingly: "Miss must be thinking about Miss Qin's wedding day!"
"Looking at the date, it's about time we packed up and returned to the small mountain village!" Mu Rousang took the tea cup cover and gently removed the foam from the bowl, slightly squinting her eyes as she felt the warmth in the room.
"It should be in the next few days. I heard from Young Master that he has been busy with questions for the past few days, and it will probably take him another two days before there is any news." Dong Xue opened the curtain and walked in.
"Hurry up and sit by the fire. It's freezing outside and the sky looks dark. I'm afraid it's going to snow for the first time." Mu Rousang gestured for Dong Xue to sit beside her.
With regards to the matter of Dong Xue becoming Mu Jinzhi's maid, Mu Rousang had to put in a lot of effort before he could accept it. She saw Dong Xue coming over here, so she asked: "Big brother went to school?"
"In reply to the girl, yes! "The young master sent a servant to deliver some ginger for the young lady. He said that the eldest lady had sent someone to deliver them, and that they are fresh goods that have only been made during the autumn." The little girl that followed Dong Xue from behind spontaneously carried a small jar and placed it on top of the Rohan's bed.
Mu Rousang flipped it open, and said: "Hey, there's still some green plums, I'm afraid they were pickled in the spring, it should taste good right now." She pinched a small piece and put it in her mouth for a taste. Then she narrowed her eyes, and the corner of her eyes suddenly became moist.
"Ah, pah!" She picked up a small plate that was placed on the table and spat out the green plum in her mouth.
"How can this green plum blossom be so sour?"
Chun Yi quickly got up and poured a cup of tea from the table at the side. She smiled and said, "Miss is sore. Quickly eat some cold tea or you will be sore at night."
Dong Xue pursed her lips into a smile and said: "Perhaps the Madam has already heard from Madam Qin that Miss Qin is getting married this year, and that Miss Qin's wedding, she thinks that Miss's days are coming soon. Why don't you prepare it in the morning?"
Yu Xiuzhu was the only one in the family who had been married for a year, and it was precisely when they were thinking of hugging each other for three years.
"Miss!" Aunt Liu reminded her.
Mu Rousang was very sad, but she didn't seem to say anything! "Got it, got it!"
"Miss, Miss, the future Young Master is here!" The spring scenery came in with a gust of cold wind blowing from the outside.
"What is he doing here at this time? Isn't there always a steward under him to handle pickled vegetables? " Mu Rousang was puzzled.
Chun Jing giggled and said, "Miss, perhaps our Young Master is here to request a period."
"The invitation period is just a lucky day. The capital is far from here. There's no reason to come back just now." However, she would very soon know why Yang Zixuan had "escaped" from the capital.
"Where is he? Did he send someone to invite my brother back?"
Chun Jing laughed: "In the future, when Young Master has just arrived at the mansion, you will meet Master Mu Xiu, who is at home. The two of them went to South study, and asked if there was anything they could discuss." She couldn't remember what they said at the end because she didn't understand.
"Forget it, he's coming. It looks like we'll have to return to Little Mountain Village in a few days. Chun Xiao, take some people to arrange for the departure. Chun Yi, take some people to pack up first."
As expected, on the second day, Mu Jinzhi sent people to the inner courtyard to tell Mu Rousang that she had already decided to sleep for one more night before going to the small mountain village to get busy with the pickled vegetables.
Old Madam Zuo was napping leaning against the smoke cage. When she heard Mu Rousang, she immediately went over and hugged him and laughed out loud, "Aiyo, my Little monkey has grown taller again. Let Grandmother see, why does the meat on my face do not grow at all?
Mu Rousang didn't dare to reply. What was that bird's nest?
"Grandmother, look at what you've said. I'm eating well and sleeping well, and I don't even need to talk about rouge or cosmetic powder. Aunt is treating me very well!"
"True, if she dares to treat you unfairly, even if I have to risk my old life, I will skin her body like a monkey." The madame sat in front of the smokebox and said with a smile.
"Old madam wants to tear apart daughter-in-law, who will serve you, who dares to make you risk your life!" Left Lady walked in from outside.
"Look at you two, this little mouth is so nimble. This old woman only said one sentence and the two of you are complaining about it."
Old Madam Zuo liked to joke around with people the most. She was especially happy when she saw her own sons and daughters being humiliated.
"The daughter-in-law can be nimble now, it's all because of the Old Mistress' guidance. We, Sang'er, have always been living with the Old Mistress." The Left Lady also sat beside the smoking cage and roasted the fire.
"Why did you come here instead of being busy with the butler's business? Look carefully, Xiuzhu is trampling around everywhere to find you. See if she's angry or not!" Seeing that someone was here to chat with her, Old Madam Zuo's mood became better!
The Left Lady sighed, "Isn't it all because of the old master? Before he left today, he said that he would write a note and pass it to the Emperor."
Zuo Renyou's position as the Patrol of the Salt Clan lasted for six years. Adding to that, this position was filled with fat, who wouldn't be jealous of him? If not for the fact that Zuo Renyou had a good relationship with the current emperor, he wouldn't be sitting here right now.
"I heard your father is going to be old?" The Old Madam Zuo heard about this somehow.
Left Lady was stunned at first, then he forcefully smiled and said, "That's right! "Now that his brothers had made good progress in their career, he heard that the lord wanted to ask him to return to the capital, so he said that it was time for him to leave. He wrote home a few days ago to discuss these matters with the lord." "Good child, all these years, it is inseparable that You'er is able to hold this position with your father. Everyone says that You'er is simple in her heart, hmph, he hasn't shown his face for six years, I'm afraid even that man won't be able to remember him."
The Old Madam Zuo continued, "That's good as well. After your father leaves, I believe you and your brothers will be able to return to the capital one by one."
