Everyone was taken aback by Mrs. He's sudden words.
Ask Mu Xiang to go to Anyuanhou's Mansion to take care of Chu Lian
Mu Xiang is the most useful maid by the old lady's side.
Immediately, everyone in the room was thinking about how sincere the old lady was.
But after much deliberation, the old matriarch didn't seem to have the need to make things difficult for Chu Lian.
After all, the child in Chu Lian's womb was something the old lady had been looking forward to for a long time. Although she had a gap with Chu Lian now, the child was innocent. She was a bit confused sometimes, but not so confused.
Mu Xiang is a child of the family, her parents and father left very early, and she was the only one left. She stayed by Mrs. He's side to serve her since she was a child, and even Madam Liu praised her personally. The whole Jing'an Manor's character is obvious to all, no matter how harsh the lady is, I'm afraid she will give this girl a thumbs up.
Moreover, she is average in appearance, not top-notch, and none of the big maids around Chu Lian is better than her. If the old lady wants to send Mu Xiang to Chu Lian, I am afraid that she really just cares about the unborn "little son" That's all.
Chu Lian also immediately thought about such a few twists and turns.
And in front of so many people, it's not good to reject the old lady.
If you are really afraid that there is something wrong with Mu Xiang, when the time comes to the Hou Mansion, ask someone to watch over it.
Mrs. Jing'an over there also blinked at Chu Lian, meaning that Chu Lian should accept the old matriarch's request.
Chu Lian slightly turned his head and glanced at He Changdi, He Changdi suddenly narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and returned Chu Lian's look.
Seeing that he didn't object, Chu Lian knew what he meant.
She stood up and blessed the old lady, "The granddaughter-in-law would like to thank grandma for cutting her love. Grandma can rest assured that when Mu Xiang arrives in the Hou's mansion, granddaughter-in-law will not treat her badly."
The old lady nodded in satisfaction.
When the young couple returned home, Mu Xiang had already packed up her parcel and followed Chu Lian.
On the way back to the Marquis Mansion, Mu Xiang was in the carriage with Wen Lan.
Mu Xiang was originally very popular in the Jing'an uncle's mansion, and she grew up beside the old matriarch. In the uncle's mansion, everyone regarded her as a half-master.
After Wenlan was sent by He Changdi to serve beside Chu Lian, Wenqing and her sister Wenqing had also come into contact with this big maid by the old matriarch's side several times.
Mu Xiang knows how to be courteous, treats people generously and gently, and has a big belly. If she goes out, if she says she is a daughter of a small family, people will believe it.
The two sisters, Wen Qing and Wen Lan, have a good impression of Mu Xiang.
Now Mu Xiang wants to serve Chu Lian with them, so on the way back to the house, Mu Xiang chatted with Wen Lan.
Wen Lan feels very good about the newcomer Mu Xiang.
After returning to Anyuanhou's Mansion, Chu Lian asked Lan Dai Muxiang to settle down in the place where he lived.
The husband and wife sat down on the couch in the bedroom.
All the idlers in the house were kicked out by He Changdi.
Chu Lian walked up to He Changdi and sat down, leaned on him, and asked while playing with a strand of black hair hanging down from him.
"Husband, do you agree with Mu Xiang coming to our house? What do you think?"
He Changdi embraced him with one hand, asked her to change into a comfortable position and lean in his arms, and leaned close to Chu Lian's ear and said in a low voice, "Lead the wolf into the room."
Hearing his words, she sat up straight instantly, her eyes widened, "Muxiang, she..."
He Changdi nodded.
Although it is not yet certain which side she is from, she is absolutely inseparable from the relationship!
There was danger in He Changdi's eyes. He and King Jin's people had been investigating for so long, how could they not find any clues.
It's just that there are too many mysteries about why Muxiang got involved.
Now it's a good opportunity for her to deliver it to her door herself!
Chu Lian was equally astonished. She tried her best to recall the plot in the original text, but she couldn't think of any mention that Mu Xiang was not simple
Forget it, she simply stopped thinking about it, and she didn't watch the second half anyway, she couldn't guess how big the author's brain was.
Chu Lian blinked, then suddenly smiled slyly, lay on He Changdi's chest, and said in a low voice, "Then what should I do?"
He Changdi rubbed her smooth hair, "We don't need to do anything now. She just came here, even if she has evil intentions, she won't act impatiently. Don't contact her on weekdays. I will secretly send someone to watch her." she."
Chu Lian nodded.
Then suddenly thought of something, Chu Lian broke away from his embrace, and wanted to jump off the couch to get something from the cabinet, but when He Changdi saw that she was about to step on the ground in her socks, he hurriedly stopped, "Put on your shoes!"
Chu Lian was not afraid of him at all. He paused for a moment, and still walked forward. The next moment, He Changdi took him back and pressed him on the couch, fixed his restless little feet, and then covered them with the soft clothes he wore in the bedroom. Bottom embroidered shoes.
After doing this, he carefully placed her two lotus feet on the ground, and patted her upturned buttocks roguely, "Go!"
Chu Lian turned her head and stared at him speechlessly, "He Changdi, you are getting more and more involved!"
He Sanlang snorted back at her.
Chu Lian quickly brought an exquisite and long yellow peach wood box.
Go back to He Changdi and sit down, and hand the wooden box in front of He Changdi.
"Here, here you are."
He Changdi's voice was deep and magnetic, and the corners of his mouth raised, "What a good thing."
Chu Lian handed him the small silver key in his purse, "Open it and have a look, and you'll know?"
He Changdi couldn't help but brought anticipation in his heart. He took the key as he said, and moved his slender hands nimbly. With a "click", the lock on the wooden box was flipped open.
Inside the slender box with a dark background lay a contract and a square private seal.
Although He Changdi didn't interfere with Chu Lian's business, and never inquired about his private property, he still knew about his daughter-in-law.
Besides, she has his staff by her side.
"Tonghui's private seal?" He Changdi frowned.
Tonghui is a bank opened by wealthy families in Shandong, although it is not as large as the "Longhui" bank controlled by the imperial court.
But because it is a private bank, there are forces from all sides behind it, and there is a mixed bag of good and bad people. Some big figures who are unwilling to disclose their identities will often contact Tonghui Bank.
Tonghui Bank will issue a separate private seal, which is specially used for big customers under its name.
As long as you take your private seal to Tonghui Bank, you can immediately withdraw the cash.
There are very few private seals of Tonghui, and it is said that there are less than a hundred of them.
Tonghui Bank is older than the Great Wu Dynasty, so it is conceivable that Tonghui's private seal is valuable.
It can also indirectly reflect how profitable Chu Lian's Jianshi is.
Chu Lian nodded without changing his expression, "Mine is for you to use, aren't you short of money?"
He Changdi's deep phoenix eyes looked at his charming and beautiful wife beside him, he sighed, and touched her smooth cheek, "Silly Lian'er, do you know what this private seal represents? Just give it so recklessly." Me?"
Chu Lian puffed her cheeks and rolled her eyes, "What else is it, money... It's useless for me to ask for so much money, so I might as well use it for you. Our Dawu Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, and it's not easy to make money. Besides Money can’t be earned, and I’m not a Pixiu, so I won’t spit it out after eating it.”
Because Chu Lian is a modern person, his thinking is different from that of ordinary noble ladies.
At present, many noble ladies feel that they should store up money if they make money, and they are only satisfied with seeing the gold and silver at home.
Little do they know that money can be circulated to generate wealth, so much silver, to put it bluntly, is just a number, and it is used where it is most needed, and it is best to use it to promote some personnel.
Originally, she just wanted to open a Jianshi for fun, to give the people of Liangzhou City and those poor barbarians a way out, half luck and half strength, but before she knew it, the business grew bigger and bigger.
The rigidity is easy to break, and the big tree attracts the wind, so Chu Lian is easily satisfied.
If you have enough money, you can live a happy life. Not only will so much money not bring her happiness, but it will only increase her troubles. It's better to leave this pot to He Changdi and let him mess around as he likes.
But He Changdi's heart warmed because of her actions. He suffered so many injustices in his previous life, even his biological parents had never thought about him so wholeheartedly.
At this time, it seems that the suffering in the previous life was paid in advance for the little woman in his arms in this life.
Chu Lian saw that his pupils were deep, his eyes were deep, and his thin lips were tightly pursed without speaking. She frowned, raised her small fist and shook it in front of him, pretending to threaten: "Why? You don't want to ? Or are you afraid you owe me?"
He Changdi stared at her exquisite face. The handsome face that was usually frozen seemed to be blown by the warm spring breeze for nine days. With both arms, he pulled Chu Lian into his arms with all his strength. His deep and magnetic voice was It sounded in Chu Lian's ear.
"Lian'er, thank you."
Chu Lian leaned on He Changdi's chest, smiled slightly and did not speak.
The young couple stayed together like this for half an hour, but they didn't know that the jealousy in Mu Xiang's heart, who was waiting in the outer flower hall, had already swelled.
After she followed Wen Lan to settle in, she was asked that Lan would bring her to the flower hall.
At this time, in the flower hall, several big maids and mothers who often served by Chu Lian's side were there.
Wen Lan glanced at her older sister Wen Qing, who shook her head at her younger sister, and was about to speak when she was called out to the porch by Nanny Zhong with a wink.
Wenqing and Lan were called out by Nanny Zhong.
Nanny Zhong said without waiting for the two to ask: "You two will take Mu Xiang to do things first, and she will take over Jing Yan's position for the time being. You take the time to tell her Madam's habits on weekdays, and the rules of our house. Take them both."
Wenqing Wenlan was a little surprised.
Wen Qing thought for a while and asked, "Mama, is this what Ma'am means? Although Sister Mu Xiang is the maid serving by the old matriarch's side, we don't want to treat you harshly, but we will let her take the place of the maid as soon as she comes. I'm afraid it's not good to serve Madam personally, right?"
Nanny Zhong actually had doubts in her heart, but it was not up to her to decide.
"This is the intention of Master Hou and Madam. Since the master has made such a decision, we will follow suit. However, we must be cautious. Letting you bring Muxiang also has this meaning."
Wen Qing and Wen Lan exchanged glances at each other.
They all replied: "Don't worry, mother, we can save it."
