In the morning, the bright sunshine poured into Nangong Yun's yard, and through the gaps in the trees, scattered gold was sprinkled all over the place.
In the room, Nangong Yun, who was on the main seat, frowned slightly as he watched a woman with a snow-blue beard and high cheekbones walk in with her head held high. Bai Muxiao sat on the armchair to the right of Nangong Yun, her face sinking like water.
"Ma'am, this servant is here to convey the message at the order of the old lady." After the woman bowed her knees and saluted, she stood upright in the room with a bit of arrogance in her expression, "That's the thing, old man People say that in recent years, the mansion has added more people, and the girls are getting older. The yard in the mansion is really not enough to live in. I want to trouble the eldest lady to move and live with the eldest lady. What the old lady means is, Anyway, only the eldest lady and the eldest girl are left in the long house, you two live together, so you can have a companion when you talk in the future."
"This is my yard, I won't move it." Nangong Yun's heart was ablaze, and he blatantly wanted to take her yard away! The mother-in-law really went too far this time!
"It's up to Madam's temperament whether to move or not. This is what the old lady means. And please be careful when asking Madam to move..." Mother Yao warned coldly, "If it's not Madam's things, please don't move by mistake. , otherwise it will be difficult for the servants to explain to the old lady."
Hu Nanny on the side turned blue with anger, pointed at Yao's mother and said: "You dog slave, you have blinded your dog's eyes. When my wife married in, there was nothing in this courtyard that was not brought from Nangong Mansion. , Is there anything that does not belong to our wife? Even this courtyard was repaired by our Nangong Mansion at the time, every tile and brick, and the layout of the courtyard was built according to our wife before she left the cabinet." Speaking of this, Hu Nanny looked at Yao's mother contemptuously, "To put it bluntly, this new house is paid by our Nangong Mansion. If we want our wife to move, okay, let's buy it with money."
Yao's mother blushed and her neck was thick. She is an old man in the house, and she knows about it.
At the beginning, Nangong Mansion requested that the courtyard of the new house should be enlarged and built according to the courtyard in front of Nangong Yunchu Pavilion, but the old lady Zhou was unwilling. She has more than one son. If the eldest son married a daughter-in-law in this way, wouldn't the people below have to follow suit? ! That's a lot of money.
Mrs. Zhou was unwilling, but in the end, her slender arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she agreed to build it with people and money in Nangong Mansion.
Although Zhou opened one eye and closed one eye, he agreed, but he was really blocked in his heart, and he was blocked until now.
Nangong Yun suppressed his anger strongly: "You can leave after talking."
Mother Yao raised her chin: "Ma'am, don't rush to drive the servant away, the servant hasn't finished talking yet."
Nangong Yun looked at Mother Yao coldly.
Mother Yao said with a fake smile: "The old lady also said that the family has been really struggling recently, and the expenses are tight, so they need to live frugally. You can't be as extravagant as the old lady was when she was the housekeeper..."
Nangong Yun was so angry that he was trembling all over, he thought she was being extravagant in being a housekeeper.
"What the old lady means is that the quotas of each room will be reduced, and the eldest lady and the eldest girl can eat together in the future, so let's start with three dishes and one soup, and the eldest lady and the eldest girl are also guarding the house anyway. Filial piety, you don't need to go out to be a guest or anything, and this season's new clothes will be temporarily exempted. We will discuss it after the house gets through the difficulties."
Hearing this, Nangong Yun was so angry that his liver hurt. Let's talk about it again, when will we talk about it? In the end, maybe they won't have their share of the new clothes every season in the future.
A sharp light flashed in Bai Muxiao's eyes, and she thought: The Bai family is really deceiving people too much, they dare to blatantly deduct their food and clothing expenses. Do you really treat them like soft persimmons so you can handle them at will
Nunnery Hu raised her voice in distress and anger: "In the past, the madam and the girl both had five dishes and one soup, even if it is really necessary to reduce the portion, it can't be reduced to two people who only have three dishes and one soup. How can this be enough? Don’t you want to starve Madam and Miss?”
Yao's mother raised her eyelids and said, "Look at what Nanny Hu said, the lady and the lady will be hungry. In the past, when the lady and the lady ate five dishes and one soup, there would always be at least one soup left over. As for half of the food, wouldn’t it be just right for the two of them now, three dishes and one soup, so as not to waste it, and make it cheaper for others..."
"Nurse Hu," Bai Muxiao interrupted her coldly, her eyes were serious, "Slap your mouth!"
As soon as Bai Muxiao finished speaking, Hu Nanny couldn't wait to rush to Yao's mother, and swiftly "slapped" her two hands to slap her.
The crisp slap sound was so loud in the room that the two maids in the room were too nervous to breathe.
Yao's mother was stunned by the beating, and she didn't react until she felt the burning pain on her face. She touched her face in disbelief, grinning and "hissing". She looked at Bai Muxiao with resentment, pointed at her with trembling fingers and said: "You..." It's just a bereaved father and daughter, without brothers to support, and mother lost the right to housekeeper, how dare to treat her old lady The competent mother in charge by her side did it.
"What about you, mine...today I will teach you what is superiority and inferiority." Bai Muxiao looked at Yao's mother with eyes as cold as cold stars, and then ordered, "Go on, Mother Hu! Today I will Teach this ignorant slave a lesson!"
Yao's mother was unprepared when she was beaten for the first time, but this time she was willing to hide, she naturally wanted to hide, and said: "Miss, this servant is the person next to the old lady, you..."
Before she finished speaking, Bai Muxiao said sharply: "Catch her and beat her hard."
The servants inside and outside the house were all Nangong Yun's confidantes, they naturally responded in unison, and the two women grabbed Yao's mother one from the left and the other from the right.
Yao's mother was like a fish on a chopping board, unable to move and could only be slaughtered by others, threateningly: "How dare you..."
Hu Nanny sneered, "slapped" twice, and slapped Yao's mother in the face again, causing the corners of her mouth to bleed.
Bai Muxiao looked at Yao's mother and said slowly: "Yao mother, grandma asked you to come, just to spread the word, not to let you be a slave to bully the master. As soon as she came, she yelled in the yard. Are you here?" Grandma's yard is also like this, such irregularities... "
Mother Yao's face turns blue and white.
"Grandmother asked you to pass on a message, you just need to bring the message with you, who gave you the courage to criticize the master!" Bai Muxiao said sharply.
Mother Yao's body trembled like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. Those words naturally did not mean what the old lady meant.
Bai Muxiao showed an extremely cold smile, and ordered: "Shut up and throw me out of the yard."
Nanny Hu responded, picked up a rag and gagged Mama Yao's mouth, then led someone to carry Mama Yao out of the house, and threw Mama Yao out of the yard like throwing garbage.
Nangong Yun was a little stunned. She always felt that her sister Xiao had become a little different since she fell into the water last time. If it was before, sister Xiao would only cry aggrievedly. The Bai family has been bullied so badly! Nangong Yun was indignant, but also a little relieved. He felt that his daughter had finally grown up and would defend himself as a mother.
However, this Bai family is really deceiving people too much!
Thinking of this, Nangong Yun couldn't help saying angrily: "It's true that you're talking nonsense with your eyes open. It's not that I didn't care about the house. I don't know what's going on in the house. There is no money in the palace. It's just that I don't have my dowry now. Subsidies, food and clothing are not as fine as before. It’s getting to the point where two people can only have three dishes and one soup.”
Speaking of this, her eyes showed sarcasm, "The old lady deliberately sent someone to make such a fuss, obviously because she wanted me to pay more money. If she wants my money, but still puts it on such a high shelf, it goes without saying that it must be that Yu The idea given by you!" Nangong Yun became more and more angry as he thought about it, and said bitterly, "If you want my dowry, there is no way!"
She sighed, and said to Bai Muxiao with pity: "Sister Xiao, the current situation of the Bai family will not buy you a dowry in the future. But you don't have to worry, mother's dowry will be left to you in the future. Yours will definitely make you get married in a good way."
"Thank you, mother..." Bai Muxiao looked at Nangong Yun movedly, "Mother's dowry, I'd better keep it for myself, my daughter will earn money by herself when she grows up."
Nangong Yun put his arms around Bai Muxiao in a funny way and said, "Silly boy, there is no reason for a daughter to earn her own dowry. Your mother will naturally prepare your dowry."
"But I heard that Cousin Yue opened her own shop." Bai Muxiao said.
Nangong Yun's eyes showed a bit of contempt, and said: "Where does she know how to open a shop, the housekeepers are prepared for her by the family. The shop is free to be managed by others, and she will check the accounts at most. Which daughter of the aristocratic family can't manage the house Check it out. She just knows a few beauty recipes."
"But this is also very remarkable."
"Sister Xiao, you don't have to envy her." Nangong Yun said lovingly, "If you come, you will definitely do better than her."
"That's natural." Bai Muxiao smiled confidently, "With my ability, of course I will do my best."
"Mother believes in you, but now that you are in the period of filial piety, the mansion is staring at you uneasy, otherwise, mother will also give you two shops to compare with your cousin Yue." Nangong Yun sighed, "But now your grandmother and your second aunt are staring at my dowry, and I don't know what kind of indecent means they will use to persecute us mother and daughter."
Bai Muxiao quickly comforted her and said: "Soldiers come to block you, water comes to flood the soil, there will always be a solution. Mother, don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone bully you." After a pause, she continued, "But mother, in In this White House, we are alone and alone, so it is better to think of a solution once and for all."
Nangong Yun frowned and thought deeply: "Sister Xiao, you are right, it's just..." She couldn't help showing bitterness. Although her natal family is more noble than the Bai family, she can't rely on her natal family for everything, and besides, the distant water can't solve the near fire.
"My daughter thinks that the best way is to move out of the White House."
Nangong Yun looked at her in shock, shook his head quickly and said: "Sister Xiao, this idea sounds good, but if you move out of the White House like this, it will be very bad for you. You have no father, if you leave again Baifu, it’s hard for you to talk about kissing." Her sister Xiao is so outstanding, how could she just watch her daughter being delayed because of this!
"But mother, according to the current situation of the Bai family, do you think you can find a good family after your daughter is filial piety?" Bai Muxiao smiled sarcastically, "They came for mother's dowry. If you can't grab it from here, you will definitely start with your daughter."
Nangong Yun's eyes darkened, and he understood what Bai Muxiao meant. Although it is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the old lady Zhou does not have any power over her daughter's marriage. If Zhou and Yu find a family for her daughter at will, and the two join hands, then everything about the daughter will be in control. In their hands!
Thinking of this, Nangong Yun was trembling with fear. He didn't know whether he was comforting her or himself, and said, "Sister Xiao, you are still in the period of filial piety, and they can't touch you for a while. Your marriage, mother I will take it to heart, as soon as the filial piety period is over, Mother will find you a good marriage."
Mother is still too naive. Bai Muxiao shook her head secretly in her heart, and pointed out directly: "No matter how good the marriage is, they have a lot of ways to mess it up, and the result is still the same."
Nangong Yun fell silent. Bai Muxiao was right to be worried, it is not easy to form a good relationship, but there are ways to destroy a relationship.
Seeing that Nangong Yun was thinking, Bai Muxiao said in a deep voice: "So the best way now is to leave the White House, mother, given our current situation, how can we separate and live alone?"
Nangong Yun shook his head: "Your father has passed away, and it is impossible to separate the family. Unless..." She hesitated for a moment, but said, "Unless Dagui returns to Nangong Mansion, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Pomegranate's report from outside: "Madam, Miss, the Second Madam is here."
What is Mrs. Yu doing here? Nangong Yun frowned and said, "Second Madam, please come in."
After a while, Yu Shi, the second wife of the White House, walked in with a smile on her face.
After the three met the ceremony, Mrs. Yu sat on the mahogany armchair and said to Nangong Yun: "I'm here today, and I have something to talk to my sister-in-law."
Nangong Yun took a sip of tea, but said nothing.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Yu's face, and he didn't pretend to be closed-minded, and said straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, Miss Xiao is not too young, so it's time to say kiss. I have a good family here, and it's my natal nephew Ming Brother, I'm thinking of getting married directly after Sister Xiao's filial piety."
Nangong Yun couldn't believe his ears. Just now, Sister Xiao said that Mrs. Yu might intervene in her marriage. !
"I don't agree." Nangong Yun glared at Mrs. Yu. Don't think she doesn't know, Yu Ming, Yu's nephew, was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling at a young age, and there are several common rooms in the house. Yu Shi is so embarrassed to introduce such a person to his sister Xiao.
Yu covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, a trace of sarcasm appeared in her eyes, and said: "I can't help my sister-in-law, I have already reported it to my mother. My mother has already nodded, and I will wait for sister Xiao to show her filial piety." At this point The sarcasm in her eyes grew stronger, "Mother said that she is in charge of Sister Xiao's marriage, and no one cares about it. She married her granddaughter, even people from Nangong Mansion have nothing to say."
Nangong Yun was furious when he heard this, and trembled slightly with anger.
With a "pop", there was a crisp sound in the room, and the cup in Bai Muxiao's hand hit Yu Shi right in front of her, and the tea splashed, which startled Yu Shi.
"Sister Xiao, you are being rude to your elders!" Shi Yu was so angry that she slapped the table, but Bai Muxiao said expressionlessly, "Second Aunt, I slipped my hand, it's all my fault."
Yu's brows were raised coldly and she taught: "Miss Xiao must learn the rules carefully. If she marries into Yu's family in the future..."
"Second aunt stepped in to intervene in the niece's marriage next door, and she has learned good manners." Bai Muxiao looked at Mrs. Yu with a half-smile, "Second aunt is not afraid to spread the word and ruin the reputation of the younger sisters." Naturally, Bai Muyan, the daughter of the Yu family, was included.
Yu Shi stared at Bai Muxiao angrily, and said angrily: "As a junior, you dare to criticize the elders at will, who taught you the rules."
Bai Muxiao ignored Mrs. Yu at all, turned her head to Nangong Yun and said, "Mother, the second aunt is the head of the Bai family, but she is so unruly. You are still here, and you dare to make decisions about me at will. Marriage. If others find out about this, they will think that this is the kind of people in the White House, and when they go out to be guests in the future, how can they hold their heads up."
Yu Shi was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
"She doesn't care about Sister Yan's reputation, but we have to care about our own reputation." Bai Muxiao shook Nangong Yun's hand heavily, "Mother, this White House can't stay any longer, let our daughter follow you Let's go home." Bai Muxiao's mouth hooked slightly at an angle that Yu couldn't see, maybe this time she dared to thank her as the second aunt!
Great return!
Yu Shi was dumbfounded for a moment, she couldn't believe her ears, Bai Muxiao actually said that she wanted Nangong Yun to return? Can this return be said casually
Nangong Yun hesitated again, finally took a deep breath, and said decisively: "Sister Xiao, mother listens to you." Then he ordered Hu Nanny, "Hu Nanny, please go to Nangong Mansion and settle this matter. Tell my mother!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Nanny Hu rudely pushed Yu Shi away and walked out of the courtyard door. Yu Shi staggered and fell into the armchair, a little dazed.
Hu Momo rushed to Nangong Mansion in a carriage, and when she arrived at Rong'an Hall, she knelt down on the cold ground with a plop, told the whole story of what happened today, and then said while wiping away her tears: "Old man People, this White Mansion is really too much! If this goes on, Madam and Miss will probably be bullied to death by them!"
The Su family almost jumped up when they heard the words, the Bai family is really going too far!
The last time I gave my uncle a stepchild without notifying the Nangong Mansion, Sister Xiao was pushed into the water for no reason; For such a scum! Just, big return...
Thinking of Dagui, even the Su family hesitated for a while. It is not a glorious thing for Nangong Mansion's daughter Dagui not to say so! But how could she just let the White Mansion treat her daughter and granddaughter like this
That's all!
Su Shi took a deep breath, and finally ordered: "Nurse Wang, you come with me to the White Mansion." Then she said, "Dong'er, go and call the second madam, the third madam and the fourth madam."
"Yes, old madam!" Dong'er hurried down to send a message to the ladies, while Nanny Wang went to arrange the carriage for the trip.
"My servant thanked the old lady on behalf of the lady and the girl!" Hu Momo kowtowed gratefully. She was also afraid that Mrs. Su would oppose Nangong Yunda's return, but she never expected Mrs. Su to make a decision so quickly.
Mrs. Su changed into a stone-blue woven silver silk peony tunic, a ginger-yellow heddle skirt, and a jasper hairpin on her neatly combed bun. Helped him into the carriage.
The two carriages drove all the way into the White Mansion, and then were welcomed to Mrs. Zhou's courtyard.
At this time, Nangong Yun, Bai Muxiao, and Yu Shi had already quarreled with Zhou Shi, and they were still at a stalemate. Mrs. Zhou really complained about Mrs. Yu in her heart, not to say that the marriage must be settled, why is it that Nangong Yun wants to return now
As soon as Su Shi appeared, Nangong Yun's eyes filled with tears, and he knelt down in front of Su Shi: "Mother, my daughter is not filial, and I have troubled you!" Bai Muxiao also knelt down beside Nangong Yun respectfully, and said, "Grandmother, Greetings from Xiao'er." Then she greeted Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Gu with courtesy and thoughtfulness.
Seeing the filial appearance of Su's three mothers and daughters, Mrs. Zhou's eyes flickered, and she took the opportunity to say to Mrs. Su: "Old lady, hurry up and persuade Yun'er, don't use your emotions!" Come on, isn't this just a laughing stock
Mrs. Su didn't speak for a while, but Mrs. Yu's arrogance became arrogant again. She thought: How could this Nangong Mansion accept a daughter who returned home because of the etiquette of poetry and books! After all, the sister-in-law just wanted to scare herself!
So, Mrs. Yu deliberately persuaded: "Yes, sister-in-law, just listen to your mother, even if you are not satisfied with the marriage I told Sister Xiao, you can discuss it later..."
"Second Aunt, you are Xiao'er's elder, Xiao'er shouldn't have spoken rudely," Bai Muxiao said with a look of righteous indignation, "Xiao'er is still keeping his father's filial piety, but Second Aunt, you talk about marriage and so on. where!"
Su Shi looked at Bai Muxiao thoughtfully, and finally asked slowly, "Yun'er, have you thought about it?"
As soon as Mrs. Su said this, all eyes focused on her, and Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Yu's hearts sank even more. Could it be that Mrs. Su really agreed to Nangong Yun's return! The dowry that they brought when they married to the White Mansion had to be brought back in full... Thinking of the huge amount of money that had already arrived at their own hands, Zhou and Yu felt heartbroken.
I can't! I can't let this money fly away like this! Yu's heart was determined, and she said with a slight threat: "Sister-in-law, you'd better think about it! You insist on returning home, and my mother and I don't want to be villains." Stop you, but sister Xiao is the heir of our Bai family..." The implication is that Nangong Yun can leave, but Bai Muxiao must stay!
Nangong Yun's face turned pale immediately, her daughter was a piece of her heart, how could she keep her daughter in the wolf's lair of the Bai family!
Su looked back and forth between Nangong Yun and Bai Muxiao, closed her eyes, as if she had made some kind of decision, and said decisively: "Sister Xiao must follow Yun'er..."
Just as Yu Shi was about to say something, she was frightened by Su Shi's eyes and swallowed her words again.
Mrs. Su continued: "Half of Yun'er's dowry will stay in the White Mansion!" Even Mrs. Huang's eyes widened when she heard this sentence. Back then when Nangong Yun married Shili Hongzhuang, how much money should this half of the dowry be worth! Huang looked at Nangong Yun strangely, and didn't know whether to feel sorry for her or to gloat about her misfortune.
"Mother!" Nangong Yun exclaimed, really didn't want to take advantage of the Bai family, but Bai Muxiao immediately tugged at Nangong Yun's sleeve, thinking: It's so worth it to get rid of the Bai family's leech with half the dowry! Isn't it just a bit of silver? Silver can be earned later!
The Zhou family and the Yu family were both overjoyed. They only felt that they could get half of Nangong Yun's dowry while raising Bai Muxiao, a money loser. This deal is really a bargain!
The two sides hit it off!
Now that the two families have torn each other apart, Nangong Yun and Bai Muxiao don't want to stay in the White Mansion for a day, so they immediately order someone to pack up their things, and plan to settle the dowry on the spot in front of the two old ladies, and sign it. , and avoid further disputes.
The two parties agreed to file a record with the government the next day. On that day, Nangong Yun and Bai Muxiao brought all their belongings back to Nangong Mansion with the Su family and others. The whole mansion also caused a ripple in the mansion.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Lin immediately sent someone to tidy up the yard in front of Nangong Yunwei's pavilion - the Laurel Courtyard.
Although the Laurel Courtyard has been cleaned regularly, it still needs to be cleaned carefully if people really want to live in it. After more than an hour, the main room and bedrooms were finally tidied up.
Afterwards, Mother Hu took a few servants and began to pack up the things Nangong Yun brought and put them into storage one by one.
On the other hand, Nangong Yun dragged Bai Muxiao into the room and sighed for a while, "I never thought that your second aunt would be so beautiful now, not to mention being the wife of the family, even her daughter has become the princess." Although Nangong Yun When she was in Baifu, she had already learned through the eyeliner in Nangong Mansion that the second sister-in-law is now in charge of the house, but when she really arrived in Nangong Mansion, she realized that everything is really different from the past.
"Speaking of this matter, my aunt is a little too impatient, and her vision is really shallow." Bai Muxiao shook her head, feeling that Zhao was really eager for quick success and short-sighted. Mrs. Zhao was originally the eldest housewife and the head of the house, but because of a marriage, she ended up like this. From my own point of view, Liu Qingyun is not without a future. Once Liu Qingyun wins the prize, he may not be able to "go straight up Qingyun Road, and Jinyi will still be proud"!
Nangong Yun thought of something, but he was a little worried: "Sister Xiao, I don't have a good relationship with your second aunt, and in addition to the fact that Brother Xin fell into the water... I don't know if she will treat my mother and daughter secretly. Stumble."
"Mother, just relax." Bai Muxiao comforted her with a smile, "According to my observation, Second Aunt is not the kind of person who will play tricks behind her back. When it comes to dealing with people, Second Aunt is better than First Aunt. He came in an open and aboveboard way, gentle and demure." People like Lin can't deal with a smiley face without reaching out!
Nangong Yun thought for a while and said: "What you said is also reasonable. Speaking of human beings, your second aunt is much more loyal than your first aunt."
"Mother is right to think so. After leaving the tiger and wolf den in the White Mansion, our life will definitely get better and better." Bai Muxiao said again, her brows and eyes seemed to be shining, and her spirit was radiant.
"Hey, it's a pity that half of my dowry was lost, and those white-eyed wolves were cheaper for nothing." Thinking that he lost half of his dowry, Nangong Yun was still angry.
"Mother, don't feel sorry. Most of the things you give are dead things. At most, you can only sell them for money." Bai Muxiao sneered, "Those idiots who don't know how to manage in the White House, no matter how good they are for them. You can't keep what you own." If you have foresight and know how to manage, you won't be staring at Nangong Yun's dowry like a black eye.
Hearing what Bai Muxiao said, Nangong Yun also deeply agreed, and his brows relaxed a little. Their days can always get better and better.
"Mother, anyway, I have returned with you now. According to the rules, I am about to give up my filial piety. Why don't you let me help you set up a shop and earn back half of the dowry for you." Bai Muxiao recalled old things Mentioned, looked at Nangong Yun expectantly. This is actually one of the reasons why she supports Nangong Yun's return. She has been nesting in the gate of the White Mansion without leaving the door. How can she earn a piece of the world for herself!
Nangong Yun hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Well, if you want to, mother will give you a shop at that time, and try your hand first."
Bai Muxiao was overjoyed when she heard the words: "Thank you, mother. Don't worry, mother. I will definitely do better than my third cousin. I won't let you down." There was a flash of ambition in her eyes.
The mother and daughter were talking, when the servant girl suddenly came to report that Madam Zhang from Rong'an Hall had arrived. Although Nanny Zhang is not as highly regarded by the Su family as Wang Momo, she is also an old man around the Su family. Naturally, Nangong Yun ordered his servants to invite her into the house immediately.
Mother Zhang blessed her body, and said with a smile: "Auntie, Cousin, Madam invites you to Rong'an Hall."
Bai Muxiao saw that Nanny Zhang couldn't hide her joy, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was even more unceremonious, so she asked, "Nurse Wang, is there a happy event in the house?"
"It's indeed a happy event, and it's a double blessing." Madam Zhang's smile deepened, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more obvious. "I just got the good news. I know Yuan among the young masters, and the second young master is also the fifth in the Tongsheng test."
Bai Muxiao's eyes darkened, and she thought to herself: Didn't mother say that Cousin Xin broke his head and is a fool? Why did he pass the childbirth test
Bai Muxiao was just thinking about it in her heart, but Nangong Yun blurted out: "Brother Xin? Isn't Brother Xin a fool?" Hearing this, Bai Muxiao felt a little helpless. After all, her mother was too straightforward. She is the eldest daughter of the Nangong Mansion, but now she is a widow after all, so she should be cautious everywhere.
Nanny Zhang seemed not to have noticed Nangong Yun's gaffe at all, and smiled nonchalantly: "Second Young Master is only getting better late, but now he is getting better and better, even the emperor praised him, and he even gave you a lot of things today, it is said There are also a few unique calligraphy and paintings!" Even the servants in the mansion benefited from it.
Madam Zhang was filled with emotion. In the past two years, the second young master has indeed become more and more clever. Even the six arts of a gentleman have been learned in a decent manner. According to the maid in Qianyunyuan, she has recently begun to study under the guidance of the second young master. After reading the Four Books and Five Classics, it seems that the second lady and the second young master are both blessed people!
The more Nangong Yun heard it, the more surprised he was. Even the emperor knew that Nangong Xin was a fool? Did the sun come out from the west? She didn't care about this silly nephew, so even if she had eyeliner in this mansion, she didn't care at all. Knowing that Nangong Xin already had this fortune.
"Mother Zhang, this..."
Nangong Yun wanted to ask again, but Bai Muxiao quickly tugged on her mother's sleeve, and then naturally accepted her words: "Nurse Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you to send a message, mother and I will let you go. "
When Nangong Yunmu and Daughter arrived at Rong'an Hall, most of the people from the fourth house of Nangong Mansion gathered in the East Room. This February day, it was warm and cold, and there was still a warm charcoal fire burning in the East Room. As soon as they entered the house, Just feel warm and harmonious.
At a glance, everyone is beaming and proud. Nangong Cheng couldn't sit still anymore, he couldn't wait to see his elder brother, but it's a pity that one of today's protagonists, Nangong Cheng, is still in the Imperial College.
"Yun'er, sister Xiao, you are here!" When Su Shi saw Nangong Yunmu and daughter, she hurriedly called them to her side and told the good news again. Su Shi was almost so happy that she couldn't hear it from ear to ear, and now she wondered if she heard it wrong. It was an expected surprise for the eldest grandson Zhongyuan to understand Yuan, but it was an unexpected surprise for the second grandson Neng Zhongtong's fifth place in the birth test...
During this day, both grandchildren won the prize, which is indeed double happiness!
"Congratulations to cousin Xin, congratulations to second aunt!" Bai Muxiao congratulated with a smile. At this moment, Bai Muxiao has quickly judged the situation and realized that today is different from the past, and now that the second room is flourishing, she must make her mother pay attention to her attitude towards the second room in the future.
"Same joy, same joy!" Lin was so happy that she held Nangong Xin's hand with mixed feelings, almost doubting that this was a dream. These days, she really knew that her son was gradually improving, and that alone was enough to make Lin very happy... She never thought that her son would be able to give birth to a child!
Although Tongsheng is not a serious fame, it is already the first step in the imperial examination. In the future, Nangong Xin will be qualified to be a scholar, and even go further... Who will dare to say that her son is a fool in the future!
Thinking of this, Lin's eyes were filled with crystal clear tears, Nangong Yue who was at the side hurriedly took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her mother's eyes.
As for the Huang family and Nan Gonglin in the third room, they were already dumbfounded. This idiot Nangong Xin actually hit it, not the fifth from the bottom, but the fifth from the bottom
The mother and daughter opened their mouths wide and didn't close them for a long time. Looking at the smiling faces of the three of Lin, they felt a little sour in their hearts.
At the moment, no one cares about the little thoughts of Huang's mother and daughter. After Su's relief, she hurriedly said to Wang Momo: "Okay, okay, this is a happy event, and everyone will be rewarded today!"
According to the old lady's words, each of the servants in the mansion has an extra silver nude today.
Lin also rewarded the mother-in-law who came to announce the good news with a first-class seal of honor. After the mother-in-law was overjoyed and thanked her, she withdrew.
For a while, the house was very lively, even the maids and mothers in Rong'an Hall congratulated Mrs. Lin one after another.
Looking at the three of the Lin family who were surrounded by stars, Huang's heart was bubbling with soreness, but thinking that Lin was in charge now, he didn't dare to offend, so he could only smile and say: "Congratulations to the second sister-in-law, she finally managed to keep the clouds open." Seeing Yueming, it is hard to say that Brother Xin can earn a royal order for you in the future."
Lin's face was full of spring breeze: "We are happy together, and when brother Hao grows up in the future, he can also earn a life for the third sibling."
Mrs. Huang heard this very well. Looking at her clever and lively son, Mrs. Huang thought to herself: That's right, even a fool like Nangong Xin can win a child, so there's no reason why my brother Hao can't. In the future, her brother Hao will definitely be a Jinshi and become a first-rank official. Thinking of this, Huang looked at her son with anticipation, thinking in her heart how to train her son into a new generation of prodigy, so that she could feel proud of herself.
Nangong Hao couldn't help shivering, he didn't know that his hellish study career was about to begin.
Nangong Lin waited and waited, seeing that Su Shi hadn't mentioned the topic she was most concerned about, she finally couldn't help but said: "Grandmother, I heard that Princess Yuncheng's mansion has posted a post for the mansion today?" Nangong Lin heard it earlier It was rumored that this year's Fang Banquet might be brought forward, because Her Royal Highness the Princess wanted to invite Jinshi from the new department to have fun after the Spring Festival, but I didn't expect it to be so.
Nangong Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the words.
The Su family glanced at Nangong Lin lightly, nodded and said: "Yes, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has sent two Fangyan invitations to the manor. This year's Fang Banquet has been brought forward to the fifth day of May, and in order to control the number of people, Her Royal Highness stipulated a Zhang Post is a quota for two people, so this year there are four people in the mansion who can participate in Fang Banquet."
These four places are a little tight.
When Nangong Lin was about to ask herself if she could go, she heard Nangong Yun say: "Mother, sister Xiao should be decommissioned by March 14th, so let her go to see the world together. Poor child I've been living in the White Mansion for so long." At this time, Nangong Yun felt a little rejoiced, maybe her daughter's idea was right, returning to Nangong Mansion was a correct decision, if she still stayed in the White Mansion, her daughter might be afraid Don't even think about receiving Fangyan posts in this life. After all, Nangong Mansion is Nangong Mansion, and this Fangyan post is worth a thousand gold, but Nangong Mansion got two of them at once.
Su looked at Bai Muxiao, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and she finally nodded.
Nangong Lin's face suddenly turned pale. There are only four places in total. Nangong Cheng, who is about to get married, will definitely not go. Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue must go. If the third place is given to Bai Muxiao, then there will only be one place left.
Nangong Lin looked at Nangong Xin nervously. If Nangong Xin had to go, then she would definitely be squeezed out. If it was before, grandma would definitely not let the second brother go, but now...
At this moment, she heard Nangong Yuezheng asking: "Brother, do you want to go to the Fang Banquet with me? The second son Yuan and the third son Fu should also go."
Nangong Yue originally thought that Nangong Xin would nod happily, but who knew that he shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, I have an appointment with Liu Niang to go to her house with her on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth of every month. Learned to ride and shoot." Although Fang Banquet may be very interesting, but my father said that a man must keep his promise, and he must persevere, and he must not be lazy.
Nangong Lin was overjoyed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After everyone dispersed, only Mrs. Lin was left in Rong'an Hall by Mrs. Su.
"It's rare that brother Xin is promising. I'm relieved." Su said to Lin with a rare and pleasant face, "Double happiness is coming today. You choose a date and celebrate it well."
Mrs. Lin hurriedly smiled and replied: "Yes, mother." She originally wanted to choose a day for the second-bedroom family to celebrate, but since Mrs. Su planned to celebrate together, Mrs. Lin has no objection, and it will be more lively when everyone gathers together.
The good news that Nangong Shengzhong knew that Yuan and Nangong Xin won the fifth place in Tongsheng spread throughout the mansion in less than an hour.
Gifts were sent to Qianyun Courtyard like flying. After Nangong Qin Xiachao came back, he gave Nangong Xin a piece of fine pine smoke ink; Nangong Zhi and Nangong Cheng each sent a brush and two high-quality swords. Xuan paper; Lian Liu Qingyun came here in person and gave Nangong Xin his old used books, wishing him the next high school admission.
Lin looked through and found that Liu Qingyun had written a lot of Liu Qingyun's reading experience at that time, and was very moved.
Nangong Mu, who got the news and returned early, looked at Nangong Xin with a face of relief, his eyes were wet.
His son was smart when he was young, but he suddenly encountered a catastrophe and became an idiot. He thought it would be like this all his life, but who would have thought that as he got older, a miracle would happen, and Brother Xin's mind gradually opened up, and now he is still a child. …
A man doesn't flick his tears lightly, but he doesn't reach the sad point...
Nangong Mu lowered his head slightly, and gently wiped his tears with his sleeve. After a while, he raised his eyes and said, "Ruoyan, brother Xin should move to the outer courtyard..."
Lin's expression froze at first, and then she responded meekly: "Xianggong said yes." Brother Xin is thirteen years old, and according to his age, he should have moved to the outer courtyard long ago, if not for his mentality of a five-year-old child, How could the Su family turn a blind eye and let him live in the inner courtyard. It's different now, brother Xin is already a child, and if he lives in the inner courtyard, he will be criticized by others.
Nangong Mu sighed lightly, and took Lin Shi into his arms.
Although the wife feels reluctant to give up now, it is always a happy event. The son has a promising future, and life will only get better and better. In the future, even the mother Su should not be able to use the son as an excuse to be a wife anymore.

Note: According to the ancient filial piety, the return of the mother will not affect the filial piety of the children. But this is fiction. In this superficial era, when the mother returns home, the child’s filial piety period only needs to be served for 16 months. There is no need to delve into the difference from the ancient rituals.
