Chapter 246

The second-year high school lady saw that her daughter still looked quite despised, and bit her lip and said, "You know your thoughts, but you don't know the situation of our family. There is only so much money for a year. Your father, one aunt on the left and one on the right, took it in, and gave birth to several bastards, and the money was even more spread out like water. My mother also had to plan to save dowry for you brothers and sisters, and the money to get married was limited. But your aunt was different.

Ah, although she has a bad relationship with her uncle, they still haven't divorced. You don't even look at who your aunt is, the royal princess. There are more than a dozen managers in the village who came to close the accounts at the end of this year alone. I heard that your aunt's grand and small villages now have a huge sum of thousands of yuan. With her business and the harvest of various shops, the annual income can be more than ten years of our family. This is not counting the salary and money of her princess. It is much better than your so-called uncle..."

Gao Shuyi frowned and said, "Our family doesn't have much money. The investment is too much. How many servants are there in this family? I saw that Jiashan's cousin just needs a hundred taels of silver. After coming here, I saw that the sets of different sets were just different. Not to mention clothes, most of the Shu Jin Yunjin are those who have never seen them before. They have seen them almost now. They are all legitimate daughters in the family, why are the eldest aunt willing to give up her daughter? Last time I just fell in love with a small green hairpin, which was only a few dozen taels of silver. My father was so furious that he was reluctant to buy it for me. He was so stingy."

The second-year high school lady shook her head helplessly and said, "How could I say that you would go out and walk more? Do you know that your cousin grew up with your aunt's mother, Princess Hua Jin, since she was born. Princess Hua Jin raised her for so many years and was a granddaughter. She sent her many tribute clothes and jewelry every season. The wife of Duke Cheng's Mansion and Princess Ke, who also loved your cousin very much. Do you remember that although your cousin's birthday has not been held this year, the two of them also sent people to send extremely precious heads and clothes. Moreover, even the Crown Princess and Princess Yu also sent valuable things to her. It is estimated that the birthday gifts your cousin received in recent years will be a decent dowry."

Seeing her daughter so beautiful, the second-year high school lady felt extremely distressed. If her husband hadn't been motivated, had nothing to do all day long and could not afford to spend money on her second family, otherwise, with the conditions of her daughter, what kind of wealthy family would not be able to make it? Now living in the Princess Yongchang's Mansion, although the sister-in-law gave her daughter a monthly silver according to the rules of the Princess' Mansion, but what would be enough for five taels of silver per month?

Thinking of this, she complained: "Your aunt said she loved you, but she paid five taels of silver a month, and she couldn't even buy a box of better rouge and water. Look at what your cousin was wearing? What wasn't you just piled up with silver? She must have paid a lot of money for her daughter in private."

After hearing what his mother said, Zhou Shuyi frowned and said, "Mom, please don't say this again. It would be bad if my aunt heard it? My cousin is my aunt's daughter. Who would the aunt look at her?" She felt a little disappointed. Why didn't she become her daughter? Otherwise, wouldn't the beloved one become herself?

The second-year high school lady was thinking about what Princess Ke said today. Others just laughed it off after hearing this. However, after hearing it, she had some small plans in her mind. She always thought that her daughter was good everywhere. Since Princess Ke said that she was not a family, she could not let her sister-in-law help her to help her?

If Mu Yun and Yuan Chuzhi knew about her thoughts, they would be really ruthless. This person really dared to think about it! Even if the third prince of Prince Ke married his step-wife, he would not be able to marry her daughter. Isn’t he sure what the situation inside the Gao family is?

...

Speaking of Mu Yun, she is talking to Ma Gongren at this moment. Ma Gongren's brother has passed the assessment of Lord Ouyang Xun, and will be able to go to school after the New Year. Although he was unable to worship those famous scholars, Lord Ouyang also helped to recommend a gentleman with great teaching experience. The day before yesterday, Ma Mingqian had already visited Mr. Xin.

Now that my younger brother doesn't have to go thousands of miles to study, he also gets a good teacher. Ma Gongren is naturally very grateful. This time he made a special trip to thank Mu Yun.

Ma Shi was sincere and dared to thank Muyun. She said sincerely: "If Mrs. Wen hadn't helped me this time, my brother wouldn't know how long it would take to study outside? Sometimes when I was not good outside, I wouldn't even come back for the New Year. Now, no matter how I was studying, I was always in front of me, and we relatives were relieved. Especially my mother, she was already fulfilling her wish, and she told me to give birth to thank my wife."

Mu Yun replied with a smile: "You are so kind, it's just a simple task. After all, Ling I have real materials. Otherwise, even if I have my post and Lord Ouyang's recommendation, he wouldn't be able to pass the assessment. I heard from my Mrs. Ouyang that Ling I have very solid basic skills, but I still have some shortcomings in policy theory. However, he is still young and has a good life experience for a few years. There will always be a day when he passes the exam for scholars. Even if he is a Juren, he may not be unable to pass the exam."

As for people, they naturally like to listen to good things. When Ma Gongren heard Mu Yun praise her younger brother, she was really honored. She hurriedly said modestly: "My younger brother is not very smart, but fortunately he is quite stable. I don't ask him to really pass the Jinshi or something. As long as he can pass the scholar next year, this sounds much better when it comes to marriage."

Speaking of his brother's marriage, Ma suddenly muttered in his heart. Didn't he hear that there was a girl similar to his brothers in Mrs. Wen's family? Could it be that Mrs. Wen has any idea of ​​taking care of her brothers like this?

Immediately afterwards, Ma Shi shook her head secretly and stopped this. The eldest lady of the Wen family was only four or five years old, and what is her identity? Even if she is at the same age, how could she look at her brothers? She was really thinking too much!

If Mu Yun could understand Ma's heart at this moment, he would definitely not have the kindness he looked like at this moment.

The two of them said a few more homely things. Seeing that Muyun was extremely busy, Ma said goodbye with a wink and left with a wink.

Not long after Ma left, Mu Yun was worried about what to eat at night? He saw Wen Tingzhou coming back with great strides. After coming out of Princess Yongchang's mansion at noon, Wen Tingzhou took her to the entrance of the alley near her home and hurriedly left, saying that he would go to the yamen first, and then he would go to the houses of several friends in the afternoon, and agreed not to come back for dinner.

Muyun took a few steps forward and helped him take off his cloak and big sweater outside, then asked, "Didn't you say you won't come back tonight for dinner? Why did you come back suddenly?" As he said that, he took the new big sweater that the maids brought to him.

Wen Tingzhou smiled strangely and said, "Guess."

Mu Yun could not guess it, but Wen Tingzhou just didn't let go. Mu Yun was so angry that he hit him several times and kicked him several times: "If you have something to say, look at your weird look. You really deserve to be beaten."

Wen Tingzhou chuckled helplessly and said, "I thought it was just an ordinary dinner party. Who knew that when I saw that there were several Hua girls there. I thought that if the wife at home knew about it, that would be fine? So I left."

Hearing this, Wen Tingzhou touched his chin helplessly: "Who worshiped the wife who did last time, now in the entire capital, I, Wen Tingzhou, feared me? Therefore, I only said that my wife doesn't like the smell of dust on me, so no one stopped me, and I just came back."

After saying that, he still spread his hands helplessly. Mu Yun didn't care what reputation he had such as "jealousy" or "tiger". However, everyone knew this and felt a little surprised. He immediately frowned and said, "But just a small matter is really well known to everyone?"

Wen Tingzhou nodded: "It was not so fast, but our family came and drove around during this festival. The newlywed lady of the coachman in the front yard had to come out to help her men with her work, but she was often admired by the servants of each household. Naturally, her deeds became more famous."

Mu Yun suddenly choked. Although she had never thought of "being famous" in this way, if such a reputation could bring some warnings to some people with ulterior motives, then be famous. If the mouth is on others, she can't block those people's mouths. Anyway, she doesn't rely on these reputations to make a living.

She thought about it for a while and then withdrew her mind indifferently. When she looked up, she saw that the plate of sugar cake on the kang table had been eaten clean by her own mouth.

She hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Wen Tingzhou, and asked with a funny look: "Didn't you eat enough at Princess Yongchang's Mansion at noon? You don't like sweet food. How sweet this sugar cake is, you just eat it all like this? It looks like a hungry ghost is reincarnated."

Wen Tingzhou shook his head and smiled, "Don't mention that the noodles at noon were not well made. They were all made of big fish and meat. They were a little cold when they were sent there. They looked greasy and had no appetite to eat. They were filled with wine. The yamen was on vacation and there was nothing to eat in the afternoon. Isn't it hungry for most of the day?"

Mu Yun hurriedly said, "You didn't say it earlier. I'll ask someone to prepare some food. In the afternoon, some fresh three-yellow chickens were just sent to the farm. I asked them to simmer chicken soup in a clay pot. There are all mutton and beef at home, as well as fresh vegetables. Why don't we eat hot pot? Do you want spicy or clear soup?"

Wen Tingzhou nodded and said, "It's okay, it's cold today, so it's still hot to eat some of this. I'm so drunk at noon this time, and it's not so good to eat spicy food. By the way, what about those two boys? Why didn't you see it?"
