Chapter 207
Mu Yun felt that Ni was a thorough person, but it still depends on whether Zhao was willing to do so? She looked at Lily's marriage and was still in trouble!
Although Mu Yun was worried about Ni, he smiled and said, "Wire, with a reasonable sister-in-law like you, helping her son-in-law choose her son-in-law, she will definitely live a good life in the future."
Ni smiled humbly and humbly: "Cousin-law, don't make fun of me! I even brought a gift to my sister-in-law in vain!"
After hearing this, Mu Yun refused and said, "You are so busy going back to your hometown to worship your ancestors. Why do you come back with gifts? In fact, you really don't have to be so polite."
Ni said: "Thanks to our cousin and cousin's wife's help these days, we don't have any good things to do. This time we went back to pack up the warehouse of the ancestral home and saw a pair of small cups of gold-painted celadon plum blossoms in Longquan Qingkiln. This cup is exquisite and small. I guess you might like it, so I brought it here."
As he said that, Ni took a small brocade box from the maid and opened it. Mu Yun raised his eyes and saw ink-colored satin inside the brocade box. A pair of small green tea cups lay quietly inside. Mu Yun picked up one and looked at it in the light for a while. Then he praised: "The things in Longquan kiln are indeed good. The green glaze is made as gentle as jade. Now even the official kiln cannot produce such a pure blue color. Such a good color should be an old thing from the previous dynasty. Such a pair of small tea cups can be replaced with a set of red-breasted faces. I feel guilty!"
Ni said hurriedly: "My cousin is polite to me and treats me as an outsider! You don't know that no one in our family cares about these things. This thing is also in the corner to attract dust in our family. It is rare that cousin's wife likes it. This is also its fate. Such things are originally to be used, and it is a pity to store dust in the corner to store dust in the corner. So cousin's wife just accepts it."
Mu Yun looked at the teacups. She really liked the green glaze color, so she accepted it with a thick face. But she made up her mind to wait for the Jin family to move, and then return it with a generous gift. She smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll accept it with shame."
Ni also smiled and said, "Why are you so shameless? Just like this, I should accept it. There are some things I brought back from outside, and my cousin's wife can keep them for you!"
Mu Yun replied, "Then I won't be polite to you. My farm just brought fresh fish, shrimps and lotus roots today. Don't turn on the fire tonight. I'll prepare a table to welcome you."
Ni quickly stood up with a smile and said, "Then we will disturb you tonight. My sister-in-law just came back from outside and should have a rest. I'll go back first to see how the things are placed."
After seeing off Ni, Mu Yun rubbed his eyebrows and asked the maid to arrange the dinner. Then he picked up the pair of tea cups and put them in his hands to play with it. She happened to have Longquan celadon tea pots and teapots, which were just matched with the pair of cups.
Today, I used my brain too much and my nerves tightly, and I was tossing back and forth. As soon as Mu Yun relaxed, he felt a little tired, so he fell asleep on the imperial concubine's couch.
Seeing this, Yueping gently brought the small kang table on the couch to the side, held her down on the couch, and took another blanket to cover her.
After settling Muyun, Yueping took a small stool and sat at the door to do needlework. She had just embroidered a leaf and saw Yinliu coming. Yueping quickly "shushed" her and silenced her.
Seeing this, Yin Liu's originally gentle movements became even more relaxed. She walked slowly to Yue Ping and asked in a low voice: "How long have Madam been sleeping?"
Yue Ping also replied in a low voice: "I just fell asleep for a while, but I seemed a little tired, so I fell asleep leaning on the imperial concubine's couch."
Yin Liu nodded and said softly: "Isn't it? I went to the Jin Palace early this morning, and it was enough to get tiring to go back and forth."
As she said that, she looked at the embroidery work in Yueping's hand and asked with a smile: "Who are you embroidering for? It's rare for you to do such exquisite embroidery work."
Yue Ping replied: "Next 18th is my aunt's birthday. I gave her a pair of gold earrings. I thought I would do a decent needlework for her to look sincere. Isn't I going to make a purse?" Yue Ping's purse embroidered by her is a common peony pattern. Now most of the embroidered one has been embroidered, and the whole pattern is quite shaped.
Yinliu's girl Hong is one of the best among them. Seeing Yueping's embroidery work so unsightly, it was hard to praise it. She had to laugh and ask, "Since it's a birthday, why don't you embroider patterns like gourds, cranes, etc., how suitable is it?"
Yue Ping also knew that she had no idea about her embroidery work. When Yin Liu said this, she immediately gave her a blank look: "You don't even look at me, just my craftsmanship is a barely enough to embroider a peony. Embroidering a crane is a waste of fabric and kung fu, so let's forget it." As he spoke, Yue Ping had already embroidered most of a leaf.
Yin Liu listened to her words and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled, "You embroiderer, you're so careless, but few people can match this speed."
Yue Ping raised her head and said arrogantly: "No, at least I must have something to do, otherwise how can I find it in the future..." At the end of the conversation, she suddenly realized that she almost let it go, and quickly stopped. But Yin Liu had heard it and joked: "Or how can I find my husband's family in the future? Isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Ping didn't care about embroidery work anymore, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth: "What are you yelling around? Slowly, don't wake up your wife."
Yin Liu quickly stretched his head and looked inside. He felt relieved when he saw Mu Yun not waking up. She smiled and sat on the threshold beside Yue Ping and asked in a low voice: "Last time, didn't your aunt tell you a family that seemed to be in the north of the city? Why didn't it work? You didn't say it last time, and we all had no nerve to ask you. I heard that that person is still a scholar with fame, so why didn't he believe it in the end?"
Yue Ping sighed while doing her job: "You don't think about our identity. People outside say it nicely, but how many people can respect us from the bottom of their hearts? Especially those noble scholars, those scholars, although they have learned a lot of Confucius and Mencius's ways, most of them are still mean and polite, and few are truly kind. Last time, the Tongsheng from the north of the city, fortunately, my wife asked someone to ask for help."
When he said this, Yue Ping sighed again: "You don't know. It is said that the family didn't know where to find out the news. It was because the maid in our mansion had a generous dowry, and she only asked several layers of contact with my aunt to say marriage, and it was just a plan for my dowry. Such a family, let alone just a child, I can't marry even a scholar."
After hearing this, Yin Liu put his elbow on his legs and supported his cheek and sighed: "For us, whether we marry internally or externally, there will always be one or another unhappy things. It's really a worrying thing to think about it."
Yue Ping pursed her lips and whispered: "There is nothing to worry about, just watch it slowly. If you really don't like it, at worst I will learn from Sister Chunxiao and become an aunt by myself. Can our wife treat me badly?"
The two were whispering there, and then they heard footsteps coming from the door of the yard. Looking up, they saw Yulan and Shuhua coming over. The two of them stood up and said hello.
Seeing them, Yulan asked with a smile: "Why are you all outside? But her cousin's wife hasn't gotten up yet?"
Yue Ping replied softly: "Yes, my wife went to the Jinwang Mansion early this morning, and when she came back, she talked to Mrs. Jin for a long time. Maybe she was tired and she still didn't wake up until she slept."
Mu Yun had actually woken up for a while, but he felt very tired all over and didn't think about getting up at all. Now he heard the voices outside, so he sat up and shouted, "Is it Magnolia here? Please come in!"
Yue Ping and Yin Liu outside heard the movement, and Yue Ping quickly smiled and said, "Madam is awake, Madam, please come in quickly." So Yulan took Shuhua's hand and walked in.
Shuhua entered the house and came to the couch, holding the paper bag in her hand and whispered: "Auntie, look, I brought you your favorite Semizhai snack, eat it while it's hot!"
Mu Yun reached out to pinch her little nose: "Shuhua is the most obedient. I can never forget my aunt. You put it on the table first, I'll wash my face before eating."
Shuhua nodded, and saw Muyun still had to wash up, and felt that it was boring to stay here. So she said, "I'll go to the back to find the little monkey and the others to play." After that, she ran away like a gust of wind.
Yulan shouted behind her, "Slow down, be careful not to fall." Seeing that her daughter ran away in a blink of an eye, she turned around and sat down on the couch beside her, smiling at the maid serving Mu Yun to wash. After washing her face, Mu Yun applied her own cream on her face, thinking that she would have a banquet for the Jin family tonight, so she applied a thin layer of powder and a little rouge.
Seeing this, Yulan smiled and said, "The cream you made is really useful. I have used it with you for the past two years, and my face has become much more delicate. When I returned to the Chinese New Year, my mother joked that I looked more beautiful than before I got married."
Mu Yun cleaned up and sat down on the couch. He looked at Magnolia's face carefully, and then smiled and said, "What your mother is telling the truth. Look, your skin is white and red now, which is not much better than when you first came to Beijing? But I think it's not just the credit for my face cream, but you can take your pulse and prescribe it yourself now. Daily dietary care is also very important."
Magnolia chuckled and said, "Did you ever think I would live like this one day? Nowadays, I don't even mention those bird's nests, red ginseng, ginseng and other supplements have nothing to do. I don't have to go out to wind and sun, and there are carriages to pick me up when I go in and out. I'm not going to have this good skin."
Mu Yun smiled and said, "Isn't that true? This person has a good mentality, eats well and sleeps well, and his skin condition will naturally be better!"
Yulan nodded and said, "Sister-in-law is right, but the contribution of your face cream is absolutely indispensable. I see that even Princess Yu doesn't need the rouge and water powder in her mansion, so she only uses the ones you gave her. When I went to ask for the fifth lady in Chengxian's Mansion today, the fifth lady wanted to ask for the prescription for the face cream in secret. I didn't know this, so I could only talk perfunctorily. I looked at the fifth lady who seemed a little unhappy!" It turned out that Yulan was entrusted by a close friend of her friends to treat a concubine in Chengxian's Mansion to Ping'an's mansion.
Mu Yun said oh, comforting, "It's okay, she can't do anything to you. Even Princess Yu has never asked me about Fangzi based on her identity. Does she seem to be very proud of her? Besides, you give her a pulse. The medical fee is given by Mrs. Chengxian, not by her. You don't have to take it too seriously. I see, this fifth lady is not very favored in Mrs. Chengxian's mansion, and the wife of the mansion will definitely not make things difficult for you."
As she was talking, Mu Yun suddenly remembered something and said, "The Queen of Princess Jin said that her lower abdomen was a little painful in the past two months, and she was unwilling to find an imperial physician to see this disease. If you have nothing else tomorrow, go to the Jin Palace to take the pulse of Princess Jin. The Queen said that last time you took the prescription and medicinal food you prescribed was quite effective."
