Chapter 204

The people who came to the door these days were all avoided by Mu Yun. It’s not that she looked down on others, but that the Yun cousin’s classmates were at most people who studied in farming and studying. Those families really had all kinds of people, and some of them had their rules.

Compared with them, Zhao's response was considered good at the beginning. Some people were really arrogant. Mu Yun had not dealt with these people for a long time. Although he would not be afraid of them, he was really bored.

There was even more ridiculous family who actually brought their aunt to visit and was directly bombarded by Mu Yun.

The Dayuan Dynasty has always been the most respectful person. Even if the concubines of ordinary families are favored at home, they will not be able to go out to see guests. Even the concubines in the royal palace cannot leave the house at will. This family is better. A mother-in-law who does not bring a serious daughter-in-law, but instead brings a concubine over. Who is the face of this?

The other women looked at Mu Yunyan and smiled peacefully, and they thought they had met a Bodhisattva. Who would have thought that in a moment, the Bodhisattva turned into Rakshasa? Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone said goodbye and left one after another.

Just this day, Ni was also talking to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. This was the first time she saw her cousin's wife getting so angry. Seeing Mu Yun blasting the family out with a cold face without any mercy, she couldn't help but be glad that such an incident did not happen to her family.

After seeing that outsiders had left, Ni hurriedly advised: "My cousin, please calm down. In fact, you don't have to be as familiar with such a fool. I know this family is a family of sluts and dilapidated. Somehow, he even gave birth to a son who was quite good at studying, which made him pass the Jinshi! His daughter-in-law couldn't stand the mother-in-law's sorrow, so she asked herself to go to the temple to be a sister-in-law!"

Mu Yun snorted and sneered: "If their family had known that, they wouldn't have just brought an aunt out for socializing."

Ni sighed: "Not it! If this family knows some etiquette, integrity and shame, they will not take concubines for their son first even if they have no daughter-in-law. The old lady in this family is also a weirdo. She doesn't have to worry when her daughter-in-law leaves. She waits for her son to pass the imperial examination and then says that the family is good for kinship. With this skill, she is afraid that no one will serve her son, so she specially bought a woman to serve her son as a concubine. Now that the eldest son has been born, she is still thinking about finding a family from a wealthy family to pick up the bride!"

Uh~The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. How could there be such a weird person in this world?

Mu Yun couldn't help asking: "The son of this family just lets his biological mother fight with his wife? He also asked the concubine to give birth to the eldest son. It seems that he is also a confused person. Even if such a person becomes an official, I don't think he can do anything to the common people. It would be nice not to be a corrupt official. By the way, what's the surname of this family?"

Ni replied, "I remember that my surname is Liu. This Liu Jinshi heard that he seemed to be the same enlightenment teacher as the Yun family, so he was a bit incense. Before the exam, my husband also talked with him about the article. My husband said that just looking at this person's words, he really didn't expect that this was the case in his family. It was also since he was beaten to pass the Jinshi that we women had only heard about his family's affairs after we got in touch with each other."

Mu Yun sighed, "This is to know people but not the heart."

Zhao suddenly interrupted: "Why don't you know? That old woman is not a good person when she looks at her face. She has high cheekbones and thin lips, and looks mean!"

It would be fine if someone else said this. Mu Yun glanced at Zhao without any trace and complained in his heart: High cheekbones and thin lips, are you sure you can say it yourself?

When Lily saw Mu Yun looking at her mother with a teasing look, she immediately pulled Zhao's clothes hard to stop her chattering. Ni also felt sorry for her, but she stood up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, and it's time for us to go back and prepare lunch, so we won't bother here."

Mu Yun smiled and sent them away, and then no one could see them from the next day. It just so happened that Yu Fei and his wife had not left, so Mu Yun handed over the errand of welcoming and sending them to her.

Since Qi Rong was determined to make some achievements in the imperial examination, Yu Fei would have to experience such a scene sooner or later, so she took this opportunity to exercise. Mu Yun ordered a few years-long managers to give advice, but there was no big mess.

On this day, after seeing off the last wave of guests, Yu Fei dragged her tired body back to her yard. Seeing this, Qi Rong hurriedly picked her up at the door, helped her sit on the Grand Master's chair, frowned and poured her a cup of tea and said, "My wife, this is not our family anyway, why do you have to take care of these matters? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Fei put the teacup on the table and said unhappily: "Do you think I am willing to do these things? Who am I doing this for? Since you have made up your mind to take the imperial examination, this kind of relationship is not something I have to learn in the future. Could it be that I will cram the last time you pass the exam?"

Qi Rong said, "I know what you said. Am I afraid you will be tired?"

Yu Fei replied, "I am willing to be tired! Not to mention that my cousin's wife is now a second-rank maid. Even before, she grew up in the Duke's Mansion. Her knowledge and methods are not comparable to ordinary people. Do you really think that she can't treat me just a few families? They just made an excuse to teach me! Otherwise, Mrs. Jin over there also said that she would come to help, but why didn't she hear her cousin's response? She just saw that I had no experience at all, so she took care of the Xiu mother who was helping me out of the palace. It is said that she had served the Queen Mother Xian in the past. It turned out that her cousin's wife invited her to teach Sister Nuan. Now she came here to give me some excuses. It's hard to find such an opportunity! If I am afraid of hardship and fatigue, then I'm too ungrateful!"

Seeing that his wife was justified and well-founded, Qi Rong had to say, "Yes, yes, what the wife said is right, it's because she's thinking about it for her husband."

Seeing that Yu Fei quickly understood her intentions and learned these matters very seriously and hard, Mu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't really want to help Yu Fei, she was impatient to deal with those people. Yu Fei's husband was also determined to continue the imperial examination. So it would be good for her to pave the way for her and make a good relationship. However, she had already helped pave the way, and how much she could learn depends on Yu Fei's own understanding.

Since Jin Han passed the Jinshi, the Jin family officially put the matter of buying a house in the capital and settling down. Especially after Jin Han was appointed as a Hanlin Academy, the Jin family wanted to buy a house as soon as possible.

In fact, the Jin family’s family’s family is not as dilapidated as outsiders think. Apart from the house and the farm, there are still tens of thousands of taels of cash in their hands.

Ni also had several thousand taels of silver in her dowry. According to her wishes, it would be better to buy a larger house directly to save more trouble in the future.

But Jin Han is used to being low-key and does not want to be so eye-catching. He means to buy a smaller one first and then talk about the others later. However, the house is not a pot or pan, and it is rare to find a suitable and good house for a while.

Ni sighed, "My cousin's family will move to Zhuque West Street in September. We can't move to the new house with them. If the owner leaves, we will live here by ourselves. We must find a suitable house as soon as possible."

Mu Yun helped them introduce two very appropriate real estate agents. They also looked at a lot, but they still couldn't find someone who suited him. Jin Han touched his chin and said, "It would be great if my cousin was willing to sell this house."

Ni said in a silence: "Mr. I'm afraid you're not busy all these days. If you don't say who this house belongs to, we can't get it even with the area of ​​this house. And with the family's wealth at my cousin's house, I'm afraid that it's not the one who sells it easily. My husband has never said this to others, right?"

Jin Han rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said quickly: "Of course there is no such thing. I just said casually. How can I not know what you said? We are all looking at houses in Xicheng these days, and the prices are too high. A small set of three-entry houses costs five or six thousand taels of silver. It's really too expensive!"

Ni replied: "Actually, it's not that I can't afford it if I grit my teeth!"

Jin Han said: "It is affordable to buy it, but after buying a house, you have to repair it, and you also have to buy some furniture and decorations. These are a considerable expense. In addition, you have to leave some money to buy a few acres of land in Beijing or buy a small shop, which can also subsidize some household income. Otherwise, with my salary in a clean yamen like Hanlin Academy, it would be a big problem to just care about our family's meals."

Ni said with a smile: "Isn't I still there? If you really don't get your hands on it, just move my dowry first."

Jin Han shook his head and said, "How can you do it? Your dowry will be left to our children in the future, so you can't use it casually. Besides, how can I, a big man, embezzle my wife's dowry! It's absolutely not possible. This is better. I heard that the housing prices on Zhuque East Street are cheaper. Although Zhuque Street West Street, Guidong Street, Neinancheng, our family has a shallow foundation and there is no need to pay too much attention to it. My cousin is a second-rank official, and has been in Jinwu Lane on Zhuque North Street for so many years? If this place was not too far from the Hanlinyuan yamen, I would also like to buy a house here, after all, the land price here is cheaper."

After the Jin family and his wife discussed it, they quickly chose a three-entry house near Zhuque West Street. It turned out to be a house for an official. The family happened to have a job outside the house and did not plan to come back for three or five years, so they planned to sell the house. Both parties were sincere and soon negotiated the price, and the large furniture inside was priced at a total of 6,000 taels.

The two families quickly completed the transfer contract. Ni was about to find someone to clean up the new house when Jin Han's long holiday for ancestor worship began. So Ni had to say to Mu Yun with apologies: "It was supposed to move out and go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, but who knew that the yamen had arranged this month for his ancestor worship for his husband."

Mu Yun smiled and said, "What's the matter? Since it's the arrangement in the yamen, we should obey it. Especially when Cousin Jin is a newcomer, it's natural that it's not good to have these trivial matters and the moji of the Shangfeng. Since the arrangement has been made, the younger brother and sister just follow their cousin back. You can live in the house here as long as you want, and there's no need to rush for a moment."

Mu Yun's words made Ni very grateful. He thought that even if he moved out in the future, he would have to deal with his cousin's wife more.
