Chapter 208
After hearing this, Mu Yun nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll have someone to arrange a carriage for you later. When you arrive at the Jin Palace, go to Chunxiao first, she will arrange it for you. You don't have to worry about Shuhua's side. I will arrange someone to send her to the girl to study, so just rest assured."
Yulan smiled and said, "I have nothing to worry about giving it to you sister-in-law. By the way, I heard that the Jin family, Ao, is it Jin Hanlin and his family have all returned?"
Just then, Yueping came up with the black tea that Mu Yun wanted to drink. Mu Yun signaled Yueping to put the teapot on the kang table, pouring the tea and saying, "Yes, their family seems to have come back this afternoon. I agreed with them that I will hold a banquet to wash them in the evening. You should come with Shuhua, right?"
Yulian responded with a smile.
At this time, Mu Yun remembered that there were some snacks on the table, so he quickly reached out to grab a piece of sugar cake, took a bite, and smiled and said, "It's still Shuhua, this child is careful. The little monkey, that stinky brat, often walks down the street, and I don't remember to bring me a few pastries."
Yulan replied, "As a boy, it's inevitable that she is careless. I always look at Shuhua, and I always think that she has too big ideas. If she is a boy, it would be fine. Sooner or later, it would be a good thing to have a big idea. But Shuhua, a girl, is so strong in every family, how can she have a good life in the future?"
Mu Yun swallowed the snacks in his mouth, took another sip of tea, and then slowly said, "Why can't girls be too arrogant? I see Shuhua's temperament is very good, and she can tell right from wrong. This way, she won't suffer any losses after growing up. You are just too worried!" Mu Yun felt a little hungry at this moment, so she picked up a piece of hibiscus and ate it. She also urged Yulan, "This is bought by your daughter, don't you taste it? It will be not delicious if it gets cold later."
Seeing Mu Yun’s sweet food, Yulan picked up a piece of sugar cake and took a bite: “Don’t talk to me, you now have two sons and one daughter, at least your daughter should be married. As parents and relatives, they naturally think that everything is good when they look at their children, but it is not the case in the eyes of outsiders. Take you as an example, if you find a husband for Little Pumpkin in the future if someone dislikes her too strong, what should you do! And from a different perspective, the little monkey told their brothers about marriage, would you come in with a wife of Shuhua?”
Hearing this, Mu Yun choked and swallowed the snacks in his mouth with tea. Yulan's words really made her speechless because she thought of Shan Jingyan at that moment. She was also a person from Shan Jingyan, so she naturally stood on her side to say good things to her. However, King Jin's biological mother was in the dark. If she knew that her daughter-in-law had planned all day long how to cultivate her power to fight with her son, and even had the intention to strangle her son in minutes, she would have been pissed out of the grave.
Thinking of herself again, Mu Yun felt that she could not stand such a daughter-in-law! She was speechless for a while and had to comfort Yulan and said, "Shuhua is still young now. How many children of such a big one are not willful? When they grow up and become sensible, they will naturally become softer."
Magnolia sighed heavily and said, "I hope this is the case!" After saying that, she chuckled and said, "Forget it, don't say these despicable words. I heard that you are going to buy a shop again a few days ago?"
Mu Yun nodded: "Yes, when Mrs. Song came over to speak that day, she mentioned that there was a senior official in Neidongcheng who had retired and returned home and had his family moving south. He had several good shops in his hand. It just so happened that I still had some extra money in my hand, so I thought about buying two more shops to collect rent. What's wrong, do you want to buy them too?"
Yulan nodded and said, "Yes, I bought it that day, and I saved up another thousand taels of silver this year. There are only two people in our family, Shu Huaniang and I. It is not convenient to buy a shop and rent it out, so it is better to buy a shop and rent it out."
Although there are fewer people who are invited to see a doctor, she no longer visits the doctors who are not familiar with her. The families who are invited to her every day are all noble ladies from wealthy families, and they are always generous in their actions. Therefore, although Magnolia has few customers, she lives a relaxing life, but she has not received any money at all. Mu Yun smiled and said, "It's easy to say. Mrs. Song and I have agreed that she will come the day after tomorrow. Then you can listen to her and buy one if there is the right one."
In the evening, the Wen family set up two tables of banquets in the flower hall to welcome the newly-English Jin Hanlin family. They sat in two steps, and only a large screen was used in the middle.
Maybe Zhao felt that her son passed the Jinshi exam and felt that her identity was different now. At the evening banquet, Zhao performed remarkable. She is now very proud. She is not chattering like before, but looks deep. She sat there without saying a word for a long time, and looks like an official wife.
Seeing this scene, Mu Yun joked: "I haven't seen my cousin's aunt for a few days, you are becoming more and more majestic! Looks like a bit like a genius!" Although the imperial edict of the female family of the Jin family has not yet come down, most of them have already called Zhao in this way.
After hearing Mu Yun's "appreciation", Zhao couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's still my nephew's wife who can speak, right? Now my boss has passed the Jinshi and became an official. If I don't show off some style, wouldn't it make people underestimate my family? My nephew's wife, don't you think so?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun had to hold back his smile and said, "Yes, my cousin's aunt is right."
Seeing that the mother-in-law's words became more and more outrageous, Ni quickly changed the subject: "I haven't seen each other for a few days, and the children of my sister-in-law's family have changed a lot. I've seen them grow taller. I just hugged the little pumpkin, but I couldn't even hug them. It looks like I'm not fat, but I didn't expect the weight to be really good."
Mu Yun replied, "The flesh on her body is strong. Don't talk about you, I can't hold her anymore."
Zhao listened to them and saw the three white, fat, cute and cute children raised by Mu Yun, and she was envious. She also wanted to hold her grandson! Thinking of this, Zhao said to Ni, "Don't just know how to hold other people's children. Now Dalang has finished the spring exam, so hurry up and give birth to a fat grandson for our Jin family! Don't be a person who doesn't lay eggs..." Zhao didn't finish his words, but was stopped by his daughter Lily.
Lily brought a cup of tea to her mouth: "Mom, are you thirsty? Hurry up, drink some tea to moisten your throat." Then she kept picking up food and serving soup for her, but in short, she didn't give her mouth some leisure. After walking on the road for so many days, she had never used a meal. The dishes at Mu Yun's house have always been made with color, fragrance and flavor, and Zhao was quickly diverted from her attention.
She vented her whole lot, but it made others feel uncomfortable. Even though she was used to Zhao's intermittent craziness, Ni was almost angry to death when she heard what she said! Why did she get into such a mother-in-law? Even if you think so in your heart, can't you go back to your own yard before saying it? If you have to say such things in public, what will the ignorant person think of her?
Seeing this, Mu Yun and Yulan looked at each other and sighed for Ni in their hearts. Yulan had suffered from the evil mother-in-law's pain, so she felt even more sympathetic to her. She immediately patted her hands and said softly: "It's just a bastard. Just pretend you didn't hear it. Don't take it to your heart. It's not worth it to get angry for this little thing!"
Ni took two deep breaths, barely suppressed the anger in her heart, and said awkwardly: "Let my cousin's wife and sister Yun take a joke."
Yulan comforted, "What's the funny thing about this? How many mother-in-laws can you meet in this world? I see that your old lady has such a temperament. She is always better than those who have evil intentions."
When Ni heard this, he had to smile helplessly and said, "I can only think like what Sister Yun said." As for how Ni complains to her husband after she goes back and how she thinks of a way to control her mother-in-law, that is the family matter.
Mu Yun didn't pay much attention. After the banquet ended, the family of five was playing together for a while, and the wet nurse took the brother and sister down to settle.
Wen Tingzhou drank a little wine tonight and was already lying on the bed. Mu Yun walked to the bed and sat down, reached out to pat his back. Wen Tingzhou turned over and lay on the bed, and Mu Yun skillfully pressed his back. Wen Tingzhou is a very self-disciplined person and practiced with his soldiers every day. Therefore, Mu Yun specially learned a set of massage techniques and often helped him massage to make him relax and prevent his muscles from being sore.
Mu Yun thought for a while, but decided to confess what he had talked to Shan Jingyan today. Wen Tingzhou would know about this sooner or later. Instead of letting him know it from others, it would be better to say it out on his own initiative.
Wen Tingzhou was not surprised when he heard Mu Yun's words. He had always been very clear about his wife.
Wen Tingzhou is not very young, but he has never been at a disadvantage even when he fights with the old fox in the court. But he is now just the commander of the Imperial Guard. Unless he gets greater real power, he can have greater voice in the court. Even if Mu Yun doesn't care about the Sanxinzhai incident, he still feels a little frustrated.
After Mu Yun finished speaking, she saw that her husband had not spoken for a long time, and she felt a little nervous, so she asked carefully: "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
Wen Tingzhou smiled and shook his head, turned over and sat up, and held her hand and said, "No, my wife is so smart and capable, how could I get angry about this? I just thought that I was not standing tall enough, otherwise I wouldn't have let you suffer this humiliation. But I didn't have any good way to vent my anger afterwards, and I also asked you to do it yourself. I just felt sorry for you. You tossed and turned over and over the night last night, just thinking about this."
Mu Yun exclaimed: "How do you know that I didn't sleep well last night? I saw that you were sleeping soundly, but I didn't expect you to be alarmed."
After hearing her words, Wen Tingzhou stomped on the bed and chuckled, "What's the matter? I originally thought of talking to you, but I also felt that you wanted to be alone and didn't say anything."
After saying that, Wen Tingzhou reached out to touch her long hair and said softly: "Don't be sad about these things anymore. I have everything. Just keep happy and raise flowers and grass at home. At most, look at the account book. Just leave all the other hard work and laborious things to me. Have you heard it?" Mu Yun held his hand, nodded softly, and then snuggled into his arms.
...
On the Jinwang Mansion, Shan Jingyan is a decisive person and will implement it immediately once she makes up her mind. After thinking about it for two days in the mansion, she felt more and more that Mu Yun’s plan was feasible. So she secretly contacted Dong Lu, the third wife of the Dong family, and quietly ordered things silently.
Even an old man like Dong Lu couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart when he heard Shan Jingyan's plan. He really deserves to be his optimistic master. His wisdom and strategy are absolutely amazing! This incident has also strengthened Dong Lu's loyalty to Shan Jingyan again, making him extremely grateful when he recalls it in the second half of his life.
