Chapter 179

Mu Yun didn't know who the person was, so she said to Yin Liu: "You go to the front and see if the person is a guest. Please invite the person in first. The female family directly went to the front flower hall and went to the shop to call Mr. Yunfan to come to the receptionist. Then she went to the yamen to see if she could ask the master to come back soon."

At this time, in the carriage outside the Wen family, there was a woman in her fifties, a young woman in her early twenties and a girl in her fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl entered the capital and saw many magnificent buildings along the way. At this moment, she suddenly felt a little disappointed when she saw the Wen family's home. She couldn't help but murmured: "Mother, didn't you say that the Wen family's cousin is a second-rank official? Why do I see that his house is not very good?"

The older woman scolded, "What do you know? I'll just talk nonsense here! The land price in the capital is so expensive. Just the money of this house can buy two five-bedroom houses in our hometown. I've told you many times, so don't talk nonsense if you don't know." The girl smacked her tongue, and saw that her mother did not dare to speak.

The young woman next to her lowered her head and said disdainfully: Her mother-in-law is still a merciful person, and she keeps talking about money. She doesn't know what luck she had when she left the Jin family. Even though the Jin family has declined over the years, it was one of the best wealthy families in Pingzhou twenty or thirty years ago.

The young woman heard the mother and the mother kept talking about money, but she felt that life was like a year. There were times when the post was handed in, so why didn’t she reply? Could it be that the Wen family didn’t want to recognize her relative? Thinking about it, she has been in the house for more than two years and never knew that there was such a relative, let alone that she had never walked around during festivals. Now that she is coming to the house rashly, I’m afraid that others are unwilling to pay attention to it.

Just as she was thinking about it, a person who looked like a manager came out of the gate and greeted her husband with a smile. Then several mothers came over, and a young maid wearing silk clothes and two or three gold hairpins came over to invite her with a smile.

These people from Pingzhou, the older woman Wen Tingzhou, should call her cousin’s aunt, Mrs. Jin Zhao, her daughter Ni, and her daughter Jin Baihe.

Although the other party's intention was unknown, he came from afar and there was an elder, so Mu Yun welcomed the second gate. However, Gongsun Linglong took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Since you are visiting, I won't bother you here. It's time to go back and see how the maids are doing."

Mu Yun hurriedly said, "It's okay, you go back first, I'll see you off when you leave." Gongsun Linglong didn't like seeing a stranger, so she didn't leave through the gate, so Mu Yun asked her to take her out of the corner gate.

Watching Gongsun Linglong walk away, Mu Yun turned around and stood in front of the Chuhua Gate. He looked up and saw Yin Liu leading three strange women to come over. The leader was about fifty years old, with an old man's bun and a pair of golden hairpins. When Mu Yun looked over, the woman happened to look at her. When she saw Mu Yun, she was startled, then quickly walked a few steps to come to the front, grabbed Mu Yun's hand and smiled, "This is Brother Yan's daughter-in-law, she looks so tight."

Mu Yun felt that he didn't like this woman, so she quietly pulled out her hand and smiled: "I'm young and don't know what kind of generation you always dare not call me at will."

The woman smiled and said, "Yan Ge'er's grandmother is our aunt and wife. The short-lived old man in my family and your grandmother's daughter are the cousins ​​and brothers of his relatives."

Then Mu Yun suddenly realized, "It turns out that my cousin's aunt has arrived. I haven't received the letter earlier. I don't know if it's your old man coming to visit. It's really a mistake to welcome him. Hurry up, please come in the room."

A few people sat down in the flower hall. Mu Yun had always liked elegance, but this flower hall was used to entertain guests, so there were naturally a few precious furnishings as the storefront. As soon as the Jin Zhao family entered the door, they felt that their eyes were not enough. After entering, they felt dazzled and didn't know where to look. At the entrance of the flower hall, there was a large glass-to-ground flower screen. The furniture in the room was filled with watery yellow rosewood. On the table above, there were a pair of blue and white gold-painted gourd bottles and a pair of black-glazed painted Ruyi bottles.

Even though Jin Zhao's knowledge was limited, she could still see that the things in the flower hall were all good things. She was looking at it, and then she heard Mu Yun ask, "I wonder what these two people around my cousin's aunt should call me?"

Jin Zhao quickly pulled his daughter over and said, "This is your cousin Lily, this is your seventeenth year." Then he pointed at his daughter-in-law and said, "This is your cousin Ni."

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law stood up to greet Mu Yun. Mu Yun replied while complaining: This cousin's aunt doesn't look like a polite and sensible person. Although her daughter is young, she first introduces her daughter and puts her older daughter-in-law behind her. No matter how she looks like a sensible person, she doesn't have to mention that the mother and daughter look around after they come in. Even the daughters of civilian families are rarely so rude. However, Ni has been quiet since she comes in, and her speech etiquette is still acceptable.

Although Mu Yun had some thoughts in his heart, he did not reveal any of them. No matter what the other party was, she naturally couldn't lose her etiquette. So she smiled and took a purse from the maid and handed it to Lily: "For the first time we meet, just give my cousin a little gadget."

Bai He thanked him, took the purse without hesitation, and then opened it impatiently. He saw that there was a pair of red gold pearl-inlaid earrings inside the purse. Although the pearl was not big, it was a relatively rare light pink color. Bai He naturally fell in love with him immediately, and replaced the pair of gold earrings he had originally wore on his ear on the spot.

Muyun hadn't seen a girl who acted like this in the past few years. She was speechless for a moment, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to pick up the tea cup and take a sip of tea. Jin Zhao did not think that there was anything wrong with her daughter's behavior, and she personally helped Bai Liuliu to reliably have some messy hair buns.

However, Ni smiled embarrassedly and said, "My sister is still a childish temper. She can't help but feel a little excited when she sees good things. Don't joke with her cousin."

After hearing this, Zhao said unhappily: "What are you talking about? My nephew's wife is not an outsider, so how could she laugh at your sister?" Then Zhao looked at Mu Yun flatteringly: "Let's daughter-in-law, please show it. Does your sister wear the earrings you gave you a lot of color?"

Mu Yun glanced at Lily and thought to himself that the girl probably put all the jewelry she had put on, and wore a pair of red gold butterfly patterned flower hairpins on her head, a pair of red gold long hairpins inlaid with rubies on her hands, a pair of red gold agate-inlaid bracelets on her neck, and a gold necklace on her neck. In fact, the earrings she had originally wore were quite suitable for these jewelry. The little girl, even if it was a little more gorgeous, was not too out of style. But she changed the pair of pearl earrings she gave her, which seemed a bit out of place.

But Mu Yun couldn't say what he was wrong, so he had to smile and praise: "The pink color is indeed beautiful when worn by a young girl."

Zhao praised without any modesty: "This is not my boast. My daughter is very outstanding in her hometown." After hearing this, Mu Yun almost couldn't control herself.

However, the maids standing behind were a little laughed and thought to themselves: This old woman is so thick-skinned. With the appearance of this young lady Lily, even the maids in the mansion would not be able to compare with their wife.

Seeing the scene, Ni quickly interrupted, "Why didn't you see your cousin's child?"

Then Mu Yun patted his head: "Look at my memory. My eldest son is in the kindergarten class of Wenhua Academy and will not be back until the afternoon. But my youngest son and daughter are at home." After that, Mu Yun asked someone to bring the second young master and the eldest lady over, and then called an old lady over and told him: "You go to the door and wait. If the eldest young master and Miss Shuhua come back, tell them that there are guests at home." The old lady responded.

At this time, the lily stared at the golden phoenix wearing on Mu Yun's head, spreading its wings and hanging pearls on the sun, murmured: "My cousin's phoenix hairpin is so beautiful. I don't know when I will have such jewelry."

When Mu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but feel displeased. He just came to love his jewelry. Could it be that he had met the legendary best relative?

However, Mu Yun is not the kind of soft persimmon that can be controlled by others. Naturally, she would not give her jewelry to the other party just because she said a few words. So she smiled and said, "What's the matter? When you cousin, you will find a promising husband in the future and become a wife of the imperial decree, you will naturally be able to wear such a big phoenix hairpin."

Nowadays, the head and face jewelry of women's family is still a bit particular. For example, the female family members in ordinary families cannot wear phoenix hairpins. Only female members with imperial edicts can use phoenix hairpins, and the number of phoenix hairpins that can be worn by different edicts is also different. As a second-grade edict, Youran can wear up to five to six phoenix hairpins. If there are more, it will be considered as an offense.

Lily ate a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and felt a little depressed. When she wanted to say something, her sister-in-law secretly pulled her wrist. Lily turned her head and saw her sister-in-law's vaginal face. Although she was dissatisfied, she still pouted and said nothing. Zhao looked at her daughter-in-law's appearance, but she thought of her son's advice and her daughter-in-law's parents' family, but she didn't dare to say anything.

The lawsuits between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this family fell into Mu Yun's eyes one by one. She lowered her head and thought to herself. It seemed that the daughter-in-law of the Jin family was still a little trick. While thinking, she watched the two wet nurses and a few maids come over with Xiao Nanpu and Xiao Donggua.

Xiao Nanpu and the others are now two or three years old. They are just lively and active. When they see their mother, they shouted in angrily, spreading their little hands to hug them. Instead of hugging them, Mu Yun rubbed their little heads, stood up and smiled and said to the Jin family: "This is my second son, Brother Liang and Sister Nuan."

Zhao looked at Xiao Nanpu and Xiao Donggua and praised: "What two beautiful and good kids."

However, Ni turned around and took two brocade boxes from the maid, handed them over and said with a smile: "These two children look smart. This is my mother and I. Don't dislike me."

No matter what is in the box, you can tell that Ni is a polite person by just one piece. At least he has done his best to save face. Mu Yun naturally would not be shameless to the other party. He ordered the maid to take it and said to you with a smile: "My cousin and sister-in-law are bothering."

After a while, Xiao Donggua started running around. Mu Yun called his wet nurse and said, "When the weather is good, you can take him to the yard for a walk." The wet nurse hurriedly led Xiao Donggua out. When Xiao Nangua saw her brother leaving, she followed her with her short legs.

Mu Yun tidied up his clothes and then officially got to the topic: "Is there anything wrong with my cousin's aunt coming to Beijing this time?"

When Zhao heard this, he quickly smiled and said, "This is not your elder brother passed the imperial examination last year. The teacher said that his time was coming, so he asked him to come to Beijing to participate in the spring exam next year. This is not that we thought we would come here a few days in advance, so we saved it from the winter road. He had never gone far away, so our family couldn't rest assured, so we thought we could come together to be a companion and see the scenery of the capital."

Mu Yun smiled and said, "So that's it. My cousin passed the Juren at a young age. He is really young and promising."

Just as Zhao was about to follow this sentence, Ni heard him say, "I dare not be a cousin's wife and praise him like this. Not to mention that my cousin passed the exam, he was younger than my husband. When I was in my parents' home, I often heard my grandfather praise my cousin for being a stunning and beautiful genius, both civil and military. What's rare is that he is humble and polite and not arrogant because of his youth. I feel sorry for my cousin's failure to participate in the spring exam that year, otherwise my cousin would have been the third year of the year!"

Mu Yun was also very happy when he heard the other party praise her husband like this. Some people praised her husband just because she thought she had a good vision!
