Chapter 312
It was already an hour after the couple came out. Wen Tingzhou patted Mu Yun on the shoulder: "It just so happened that there were still some things in the yamen here that I had to deal with. I would stay at home for a few days before returning to the military camp. Let's have a meal together tonight."
Looking at the other party's back as he was leaving, Mu Yun always felt something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he remembered: Didn't they talk about the Japanese pirates before? Why did they suddenly change the topic?
She patted her head helplessly: she was taken by someone again! But she didn't care. Anyway, she was definitely not as good as Wen Tingzhou when she was playing power.
Wen Tingzhou took over all the messy things of the Sun family and the Zhang family, and refused to let Mu Yun worry about it. After all, it was useless to make her worry. The affairs of these two families were too deeply involved, and Mu Yun himself did not like the tricks of the court, so it would be better to listen to Wen Tingzhou honestly.
Yunfan had prepared the goods for this trip to the capital early in the morning, but he was unable to get on the road when he helped Mu Yun with his business a few days ago. Seeing that Mu Yun had nothing to do, he came over to say goodbye to her.
When he said goodbye, Yunfan said, "I thought I would take advantage of this time to rush to the capital to sell these goods, and then get these rare northern goods here to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Hearing this, Mu Yun said, "Although time is a little tight, if it's fast, you can almost come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. But my cousin should be careful. The weather at sea is unpredictable. If you encounter heavy storms, don't just try to rush and ignore your life."
After hearing Mu Yun's words, Yun Fan responded seriously: "Don't worry, brother and sister. I'm not a young boy anymore, I know everything."
The goods and sea boats were prepared early in the morning, so Yunfan and Muyun were ready to leave after they bid farewell. Before leaving, he specifically knocked on Feng: "It will take at least two months for me to go back and forth. You will live here with Brother Huan and Sister Ping. Don't be too competitive in everything. Although your cousin and sister-in-law have a good temperament, you must be grateful and contented. Don't make trouble for yourself and make yourself unhappy."
Hearing this, Feng was certainly dissatisfied: "When did I feel unhappy? I just made things difficult for our sister Ping'er to be unfair! She is cousin like Shuhua in this mansion. It would be fine if Sister Nuan Erdan and Shuhua are not the same. Even the maids and mothers like to flatter Shuhua. It's not me that Shuhua is so old that she knows that Xiaoen Xiaohui is so cunning! "
Yun Fan wanted to slap the woman in the face, and immediately shouted, "Okay! The more you say, the less you are, the less you are, how can you be an elder like this? You always say that other people's children are bad. I look at Shuhua, I have my own ideas at a young age, be determined and decisive when encountering things, and have a proper way to move forward and retreat. I can't say that there is still a great fortune in the future. However, we Sister Ping, you are taught by you, are simply ignorant of the world. It is still unknown whether you can protect yourself in your in-laws' house if you leave the house in the future!"
Although Feng agreed with her husband's words in his heart, he did not give in: "Who said that? Wouldn't we just tell Sister Ping about a good family?"
Seeing his wife, Yun Fan sighed helplessly: "Don't I hope our daughter can find a loyal and honest family in the future to avoid being chasing her in-laws? But people in this world are often ignorant but not intimate. They look kind and honest outside, and there are too many treacherous families inside, so how can it be so easy to distinguish? That's why I often tell you that while I live in the same mansion with my younger brother and sister, I will let Sister Ping go to her more, learn more insights, and open my eyes?"
Feng pouted and said, "The younger brother and sister-in-law are biased towards Shuhua, and Sister Ping is a silence again. I feel sorry for my grievances in the past?"
Yun Fan rubbed his eyebrows. This wife was ignorant and wanted to let him, a big man, teach these things in the inner house. It was a headache! He knew Feng's temperament well and immediately scolded, "Okay, I see, it's because of your unreasonable mother like you, that's not good for Sister Ping."
Feng felt extremely aggrieved when he heard this, and wiped his tears and said, "Why am I just messing around? It's obvious that they are biased towards Shuhua, why can't I say it?"
"What is biased? What comes out of one's belly is thick and thin, that is biased! Shuhua and our family are relatives. If we have similar blood ties, we are closer to Shuhua's family. But look at what you have done? They just watch these trivial matters all day long, not only offend Magnolia's cousin, but also say that Shuhua is not good all day long."
After a pause, Yunfan continued, "My brother and sister are partial. Isn't it because you are unwilling to take your daughter to walk around more? Why? Do you still want to invite others to come and invite others to come and invite you? You must be self-aware." Yang Lu said it out loud, and seeing that Feng was still thrusting, obviously he didn't remember his words in his heart.
He wanted to get angry but had no way to start, so he had to whisper: "Don't feel wronged. Think about how many wives outside spend money to rely on relationships and want to meet their younger brothers and sisters. You ordinary people can live with her and talk to each other every day. Just be content with you! And Shuhua, don't blame others for being partial. Putting Shuhua himself is a capable person. Yulan's cousin is so capable! She cured her hidden illness for many noble women, and even went to the palace to see the queen. Why did you offend her? Will you not treat her again? If someone is as capable as Magnolia, her younger brothers and sisters will also look up to you. So don't blame others for being partial, just blame us for being parents for not being able to do it!"
Feng wiped tears with a veil and said, "You are too slight on yourself when you say this. Even if I am incompetent, have you done less for your brother and sister over the years? If she hadn't had you, she would have earned so much money?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan frowned and said, "I said you always feel unbalanced. It turns out that the root of the matter is here! Are you trying to stand up for your husband? Or are you reluctant to give up the money?!" As he said that, he smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "You really look down on your husband!"
Feng was angry: "What's wrong? Am I wrong? How much effort have you put in to help your younger brothers and sisters over the years? Why is our daughter not as good as the daughter of a Magnolia and a widow? I still feel sorry for you!"
Yun Fan smiled bitterly: "I naturally know that you feel sorry for me, but I am really glad that you didn't say this outside, otherwise they would be afraid of us as a joke. You think your husband is very capable. If you don't have the power of your cousin and the connections of your younger brother and sister, I can't do this sea trade business at all by myself."
Feng Shicai didn't believe it: "Nonsense, so many people are in this business, how can you not do it?"
Yun Fan shook his head and sighed, "I just said that you have shallow eyes, and you still feel wronged. You don't think about those big businesses that are doing well. Which one is behind them is unsupported? Do you think they are all doing it alone? Let's not talk about the other side, do you think if we have nothing to do, can I take the Shangguan boat when I go to the capital before the New Year? Can I save the filial piety taxes along the way? You don't go out to inquire about how many private merchant ships have been looted by pirates? Those who lose goods and silver are lucky! When they meet ruthless people, they may not even have their lives. It was my cousin and brother-in-law who helped our family, so I asked me to do these things. Otherwise, some of their families are capable of doing things and can be done by just pointing to individuals. Why bother to me? Don't think that they have taken advantage of us. Now we are really the ones who have benefited from them."
Seeing Feng bowing his head and saying nothing, Yun Fan said cruelly: "You can't continue like this in the future. If you can't tell me clearly, just follow me to go back to the capital. There are still some fields and houses in our hometown, so you can take your children back."
It has always been "it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality." Over the years, Feng has become accustomed to having maids around him, carriages when he goes out, and sedan chairs when he comes in. She is no longer happy to let her go back to deal with the dirt.
What's more, she was thinking of telling her two sons and daughter that she was a good family to marry. If she returned to the countryside, how could she have the conditions like this now?
So she quickly swears: "Master, don't worry. I was confused before and didn't figure it out. Now I understand after listening to your words. I won't be confused anymore. Not to mention the other person, our Huan Ge'er has just settled down in the academy here. Wouldn't it be delayed to do it again?"
Yun Fan just beat his wife and wouldn't really let her go back to the capital. Not to mention the other person, if their mothers really left, how could he stay at his cousin's house?
However, Yun Fan's beating was immediately effective. Soon, Mu Yun realized Feng's transformation. People who had not left for three or five days, such as Tian Tian brought Sister Ping to speak, and from time to time they were also filial to some fruits and snacks on the market. Although it was not worth much money, it was their wish, Mu Yun naturally happily took it.
Even when facing Malan and Daughter, Feng's attitude became much softer. It was not the softness that was last time, but the real surrender in his heart. Malan was naturally a good person, and when she saw that she was surrendering now, she would naturally not be arrogant. Several families often gathered together to talk and laugh, but it was much more harmonious than before.
That day, Mu Yun was reading a book in the room, and suddenly Yinxin walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Madam, go and read it, Mrs. Su has someone to send some gifts here."
