A good wife? It sounds like it is true, but saying it at this time may not be that simple. Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows: "Thank you madam for the compliment."
Mrs. Shi really doesn’t understand. Does Mrs. Mu really don’t understand? Still don't care? With such a clear threat from him, could it be that she really didn't care at all
"Mrs. Mu, I'm afraid it will take several years for Master Mu to be the county magistrate. I wonder if Mrs. Mu has ever thought about how Master Mu should develop next?"
That being said, it should be more obvious. Qian Jiujiu was funny. It had been a long time since anyone had been so petty in front of her. It seemed that there was still some meaning in it. She blinked and looked at Mrs. Shi.
"Mrs. Shida doesn't know something. I usually don't care about my husband-in-law's career. After all, the male is the outsider and the female is the householder. I only need to take care of the backyard. But my husband-in-law is here! The backyard has a simple population, and I am the only one. With two children, there is nothing to be busy with, unlike the two of you who are very busy.”
Mrs. Shi's face almost changed with anger. What did this woman mean? Are you showing off? He must be showing off, Master Mu has no women in his backyard, he is really pissed off.
However, on an occasion like today, she could not be embarrassed or get angry. Mrs. Shi could only pretend to be calm and said: "Mrs. Mu, it is not good to be jealous."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Mrs. Shi indifferently: "Madam, you are kidding me. My husband doesn't want it, what does it have to do with me?"
Mrs. Shi Er looked at Mrs. Shi and couldn't say anything about Qian Jiujiu. She knew that she couldn't go on like this, otherwise today's banquet would not be so smooth.
"Sister-in-law is back from Kyoto. Kyoto must be quite prosperous. Why don't you tell us about it?"
Mrs. Shi Er was also accompanied by several wives from wealthy families. They all wanted to curry favor with people from Kyoto. When they heard Mrs. Shi Er's words, all of them acted very interestingly.
Mrs. Shi Da was also quite satisfied with this problem. She ignored Qian Jiujiu and started chatting with others: "The capital city must be quite prosperous. There are countless pavilions and pavilions. And you see me The clothes I’m wearing are all brought back from the capital.”
The clothes she wore were very gorgeous, and the fabrics were made of good fabrics, at least fabrics that people in Xianyou Town could not make.
This statement naturally aroused praise from many people, and some were envious. Some even asked: "Master Shi is also an official in the court. I wonder if you have ever seen the King and the Princess? Is the prince really a real person?" Isn’t the princess really beautiful? I heard that the princess was the most beautiful woman in Zhou Dynasty!”
Regarding the specific things here, people in these small places must have never heard of it. I don’t know what the princess’s name is, but I know the title of First Beauty.
Mrs. Shi has naturally never met Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu, but at this time, her vanity cannot be satisfied if she says she has never met them.
"We have met once, so I would like to say hello, but people like that will definitely not remember us. The prince and the princess are a match made in heaven, how can they not be beautiful. Take a look at it, it is definitely rare in heaven and earth. Great beauty…”
Qian Jiujiu listened to Mrs. Shi bragging about herself and couldn't help but feel amused, so she burst into laughter.
Mrs. Shi looked at Qian Jiujiu dissatisfied: "I wonder why Mrs. Mu is laughing? Isn't it too much for you to laugh when we are worshiping the prince and princess?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I just think you exaggerated."
Even in heaven! Have you been to heaven? Besides, this person is definitely bragging. She has never met Mrs. Shi Da, and there is no so-called casual relationship.
Mrs. Shi snorted coldly: "What do you mean by exaggerating? It's because you didn't see it. Also, a wife of a low-level official like you may never have the chance to see the princess in her life."
After saying that, he ignored Qian Jiujiu. He was a nobleman from the capital. How could he be as knowledgeable as a foolish woman from a small place
But there is a feeling of anger in my heart that is difficult to get out. Taking a group of people to other places, Qian Jiujiu was directly ignored.
Qian Jiujiu didn't care. He just sat there and watched the others chatting, thinking that it would be better to come less often to such banquets in the future.
On the other side, Mrs. Shi Er was also very angry. She looked at Mrs. Shi: "Sister-in-law, you said that Mrs. Mu is really the only woman in the county magistrate's house. Isn't it too lonely? We are also doing it for her own good. How about sending two guards to be her husband’s concubines?”
When Mrs. Shi heard this, her eyes instantly lit up, and she looked at Mrs. Shi Er: "This is a good idea, but I don't need to take action. I'll go find the master and pick two good-looking ones."
Just on the way back, I bought two beautiful little girls. Mrs. Shi didn't like them very much, so it seemed okay to take this opportunity to give them to the people below.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shi had already found her master, who had shown up just now. She had nothing to say to the people in these small places, so she went back to her room to rest. After all, after so many days of traveling and traveling, one day's rest is not enough.
"Master, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Mr. Shi looked at Mrs. Shi with some surprise: "What do you want to say, madam? Just say it, there is no need to discuss it."
Mrs. Shi smiled. Her husband always spoke nicely, but in fact he was very petty: "Have you met the local county magistrate?"
Master Shi nodded: "I've seen him before. He looks very talented. Even if I've been in Beijing for so long, I haven't seen anyone better than him."
Hearing Mr. Shi praise Mu Yexiao so much, Mrs. Shi felt a little depressed again: "I also heard that he has been studying some farm tools recently. If this catches the eye of the emperor, I am afraid he will not be successful. The master thinks that we should fight in advance. How about a good relationship?"
This was a good idea. Master Shi was also interested, mainly because he really admired Mu Yexiao, so he asked, "How do you plan to build a good relationship, madam?"
Mrs. Shi Da smiled and said: "I have inquired about it. He only has one wife in his family, and he has few heirs. He doesn't even have anyone to serve him. Why don't you give him two, red sleeves to add fragrance, so that he can be grateful? ah."
Mr. Shi thought for a while, and this idea was okay. After all, if you enter the back house, you will be a member of that family for the rest of your life. If you have another heir, you will have status in the family. And this person came from his family, so he was tied together. How could Master Shi not want to tie such a young talent to his own family
Looking at Mrs. Shi, she said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Go pick out two good-looking girls and give them to him. Even if you think about it, he wouldn't dare to refuse."
Mrs. Shi didn't want to do this herself. She looked at her master and said, "Master, it's not appropriate for me to go. Why don't you invite him over? How about leaving him here?"
Master Shi then thought about it, and it was possible. After all, it was not good to be seen by too many people, so he looked at Mrs. Shi and said, "Go and choose someone, Xiao An, and invite Master Mu over."
Mrs. Shi was so happy that she didn't know what to say, thinking that she could send the two annoying maids away. Mrs. Shi Er was also waiting for news from here. When she found out it was successful, she immediately went to find Qian Jiujiu.
Just now, she dared to ridicule them for having a concubine at home. People who are busy are busy even if you are standing there. The thought of this makes her happy.
Seeing Qian Jiujiu sitting there quietly, he walked over and sat next to her: "Mrs. Mu's leisure time is running out, so you must cherish it."
Qian Jiujiu looked confused, what the hell? Looking at the proud look on Mrs. Shi Er's face, something flashed in her heart, and then she became funny. What were these people thinking? Do you think Mu Yexiao thinks his life is too long
Mrs. Shi Er said a lot next to her. She looked at Qian Jiujiu as if she were an idiot, and instantly felt angry again. Before she knew what happened, this person couldn't react at all. If he continued talking, it would only make him angry in vain, so Mrs. Shi Er turned and left.
On the other side, Mu Yexiao had been invited to Master Shi. Master Shi poured a cup of tea and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Master Mu, please sit down."
Mu Yexiao sat down and looked at Mr. Shi. He was still a little confused. He had just met and now he was invited here. Why did he invite him here? "I wonder what Mr. Shi has to do with me?"
Master Shi's identity has not been disclosed to the public, so he only knows that he is an official in Kyoto, but he does not know what kind of official he is.
"Master Mu, I am the Minister of Justice of the imperial court. When I saw you today, I felt that I was destined to be married to you, so I wanted to get married to you. What do you think of Master Mu? Madam, bring me here."
Mrs. Shi quickly walked in with two young and beautiful girls. The eldest girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.
When he saw these two girls, Master Shi's eyes flashed with anger. He had no idea that his wife would choose these sisters. This is the person he likes to stay in the background.
When seeing these two girls, Mu Yexiao felt helpless. I didn't expect that his majestic King Bingjian, who had never encountered such a thing when he was in the court, would actually encounter it here.
He didn't know what to say, so he looked at Master Shi with some embarrassment: "Thank you Master Shi for your kindness, but I already have a wife at home, and these two girls will not be able to bear it."
This was a rejection. Master Shi and Mrs. Shi were both stunned. There was actually someone who could refuse such a beauty.
Master Shi's face instantly darkened: "Master Mu, do you know what your refusal means?"
Mu Yexiao naturally knew this, and looked at Master Shi: "Since Master Shi is returning to his hometown to visit his relatives, he should just do his job well. I won't trouble you to think about other matters. I will resign."
