Poems of grievances are all lies [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 63

The rumbling carriage drove into Luoyang City in the evening. Instead of returning directly to Mu's Mansion, they found an inn in the city to stay first, wash and rest, and adjust their mental state.

After breakfast the next day, the carriage slowly arrived at the main entrance of a mansion with a deep courtyard and high walls.

The main gate of Mu Mansion Zhuhong was wide open, and standing in front of the gate was a weak-aged man, dressed in rich clothes and imposing manner, seeing the carriage stop, he brought his servants to meet him.

Tang Xiaoshi was helped out of the car by Wei'er. When Lang Jun saw her coming over, her steps faltered, and her expression froze, showing an unbelievable confusion.His eyes hurriedly glanced to both sides, as if he was looking for something, but unfortunately he didn't find it, so he continued to walk forward.

"You are the second sister Yue?" The tone was suspicious and unconfident.

She saluted slightly: "Yue Niang has seen elder brother."

"Sister Yue... still recognize me?" Lang Jun smiled at her excitedly, with a clean smile.

Tang Xiaoshi rolled her eyes in her heart, did she regard her as mentally retarded, or did she not treat her as a family?There are only four gentlemen in the entire Mu Mansion, and three of them are younger than her. Can there be a second person who can call her sister?

She didn't show it on her face, she smiled and said: "Brother's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to when he was a child, and my younger sister will naturally recognize it."

Lang Jun smiled heartily: "After more than ten years of separation, sister Yue has grown up and become graceful and beautiful. I can't even recognize her."

She politely said thank you.

The second cousin, Hang Rui, came over, greeted each other with Mu Dalang, and exchanged some polite greetings.

Mu Dalang led them to the mansion, and said to her as he walked, "Father and third uncle are not in the mansion recently, and grandmother has been unwell for the past two days. say."

Knowing that the other party was explaining why he was the only one who went out to greet her today, she smiled and said softly, "I'm going to visit my grandmother and two aunts first when I come back." She asked about the health of the grandmother, the current situation of the other members of the family, and whether they were in good health. Ankang and the like.

The two talked while walking.

When Mu Dalang of the Intermediate Court ordered someone to arrange for Hang Rui to go to the guest house to rest first, and then led Tang Xiaoshi to the back house.

In the corridor in front of Jinrong Hall, giggles were heard from inside the hall.

When I got closer, I heard a girl's voice: "I still remember my grandma said when I was a child, one second sister can make two of me fatter!"

"That's right, I'm only six years old, and my appetite is bigger than my elder brother's, and my belly is bulging like a ball." Someone interjected, and another burst of laughter arose.

Mu Dalang glanced at her with embarrassment, and carefully comforted him: "Sisters are joking, don't take it to heart!"

She smiled slightly, without any displeasure.

What can she say, who made Mu Yue a glutton when she was a child, she was indeed chubby.But fortunately, she has a slim figure now.

The maid outside the door went in to report, and she followed Mu Dalang to the door.

Step into the threshold, go around the screen and come to the inner hall.Mrs. Mu had a kind face, smiling and leaning on the soft couch.Sitting next to him were two women in their forties, one plump and the other thin, both dressed as noble ladies.Sitting around the small table in front of the bed were three girls, the older ones were seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger ones were thirteen or fourteen.

When she came in, everyone looked at her in unison, showing astonishment, their expressions were the same when they were outside the door with Mu Dalang, but they changed after a while.

"This is Yue Niang?" The plump woman stood up with a smile and came to hold her hand, looking her up and down, "It's really a girl's [-]th transformation, and she looks more and more like your mother." Turning back to Mrs. Mu and The second wife boasted with a smile, "Mother-in-law, second sister-in-law, look, this handsome appearance is exactly the same as the elder sister-in-law when she was young."

The second lady glanced at the old lady from the corner of her eye for a moment, and then smiled reluctantly: "It's a rare beauty."

Tang Xiaoshi noticed that Mrs. Mu's face darkened when she heard the words, and the smile that was left before was gone.

The third lady didn't seem to notice it, and she was holding her hand to speak, but the second lady next to her immediately stopped her: "Yue Niang, come and see your grandmother."

Tang Xiaoshi stepped forward to pay respects to Mrs. Mu and the two aunts in a respectful manner, and asked a few words about her grandmother's physical condition, but she answered a few words indifferently, as if it was just to maintain On the surface, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.

The three girls sitting at the small table also came to get to know her at this time. Although their appearance had changed for more than ten years, it was possible to guess who they were from their ages.

This time she said hello, she judged from the voices that the two who just laughed at her were Mu Jia and Mu Jun, the daughters of the second wife and the third wife respectively, and two girls who were similar in age to her.

"Second sister, we haven't seen each other for many years, we are all thinking of you!" Mu Jia pulled her with a gentle and sweet smile.

Mu Jun was also afraid of falling behind, so she rushed over and grabbed her other arm: "Yes, we were so excited when I heard that you were coming back. We are looking forward to it every day! It can be regarded as seeing you."

Mu Ke, who was the youngest, smiled at her and said, "Second sister is really pretty."

She smiled and replied, "You are also very cute and beautiful."

She touched her face and said with a smile, "Aniang said the same thing."

"Second sister, I have a lot to say to you, let's sit down and talk." Mu Jia pulled her to make a gesture to sit down.

She smiled apologetically, and looked at Mrs. Mu who was on the soft couch. She came to visit the elders, and she didn't say a few words to the elders, but was entangled by the younger sisters, which was a bit rude.

Mrs. Mu still had a calm face, and she didn't care too much about her being rude.

"I'm tired, let's go!" said Leng Leng indifferently, and was about to get up and go to the dormitory with the help of the maidservant.

The second and third wives glanced at each other, and were about to go forward to serve, but Mrs. Mu waved her hand, and the two stopped.

Seeing Mrs. Mu leave, she turned around and caught a glimpse of the undisguised snickers at the corners of Mu Jia and Mu Jun's mouths.

She faced each other with a professional smile, and sighed in her heart: I haven't returned for more than ten years, this Mu Mansion is indeed not the same as it used to be, and the worries of my grandmother and grandma are not superfluous.

At this time, the second lady came over, stroking her shoulders and holding her hands, acting more intimate than the third lady, and mentioned her marriage contract, and said with a smile: "Second uncle and second aunt will help you with this matter." Arrangements and dowry are all ready, I have time to take you to have a look." Enthusiasm is like an amiable elder.

Tang Xiaoshi didn't feel much warmth and peace of mind, but flustered instead.

When she came out of Jinrong Hall, she used the excuse that she was too tired from traveling all the way for many days and needed to rest.The second wife asked Mu Dalang who had not yet left to take her to the yard.

She was stunned for a moment, and it was her aunt or sisters' job to arrange board and lodging for the women's family members, and no matter how bad it was, she should let the housekeeper's servants do it, but let Mu Dalang, a gentleman, arrange it.Although it is a cousin, it is still a bit weird.

She had doubts in her heart and didn't say much. After all, just after returning home, everything at home became strange.It's been ten years since she left, and she hasn't had much correspondence with her. To put it bluntly, she has no relationship with her family, and she just has a name.In their eyes, I may already be an outsider, but I just stayed here for a while, and I will leave completely when I get married.

She silently followed Mu Dalang to the courtyard where she lived with her parents back then.The yard has been cleaned, it is clean and tidy, nothing has changed in the yard, it is still the same as before.

The wooden pavilion among the flowers in the front yard was dilapidated back then, but it was still there after so many years, as if it had been renovated.It was the place where Mu Yue and his parents used to talk when they were young, and they left too much laughter.

"Miss uncle and aunt?" Mu Dalang asked softly.

She turned her gaze back, smiled and shook her head, without saying a word.

At this time, several maidservants standing in front of the main hall saw her hurrying over to greet her.

Mu Dalang smiled and said to her: "From now on, they will stay in the yard to serve. If there are any who are not attentive to the service, you can tell the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will help you replace some."

"Thank you, brother, that's pretty good." She smiled. Anyway, Mu Yue's maids and maidservants in the Hang family all let them come with them. They must be more caring than the people in the Mu family.And she doesn't need anyone to wait on her.

The two entered the main hall, and Mu Dalang explained some things to her. Before leaving, he told her: "Rest first, and let the younger sisters take you to get acquainted with the mansion. , especially the back garden has been expanded, and some early spring flowers are blooming, so you can go there for a stroll.”

She smiled and thanked again.

After Mu Dalang left, she sat back at the small table, casually took a pastry from the plate, took two bites, nodded with a smile, and asked the maidservant of the Mu residence: "Is this prepared by the kitchen?"

"Yes."

"what is it call?"

"Bazhen Cake."

"It's delicious. Sweet but not greasy, soft but not sticky."

"The servant asked the kitchen to deliver a copy every day."

"No, it's not like this if you eat it every day, just give it back once every three or five days."

The servant girl should be, she saw that she had nothing else to do, so she let them go down first, leaving only Wei'er by her side.

Seeing the maidservant of the Mu family going out, Wei'er leaned towards her and complained in a low voice: "Lady, just now at the old lady's place, the maid felt that they were so indifferent to the lady, and they said happy things on their mouths, but they didn't see how much it was in their eyes. joy."

Wei'er followed Mu Yue since she was a child. Although the two were master and servant, they talked about everything.She is a maidservant of the Hang family, and she also regards Mu Yue as the master of the Hang family, so she speaks out when she doesn't like the Mu family.

Tang Xiaoshi gave Wei'er a piece of pastry, and said with a smile, "I'm an orphan without a father or a mother. I've been away from home for more than ten years. It's not easy for them to behave like this. Besides, we don't live here for long, so there's no need to worry about it."

"That's right, my wife came back to marry someone." He said with a worried face, "I don't know what kind of gentleman Xun Erlang is, what kind of moral character he is, and how he will treat his wife in the future."

"Don't worry, the second cousin will inquire about this matter."

Wei'er propped her elbows on the small table, sighed softly, a little bit regretful: "We have so many good gentlemen in Hezhou, and those who want to marry their wives are even lined up at the gate of the city, but the lady has a marriage contract with Xun Erlang, otherwise It would be great to marry a man from Holland. I think the old grandpa, old lady, and the master and wives can go back and visit at any time. Even if they are wronged, there are people to support them."

"Luoyang is high and the water is far away. My lady was left out right after she came back. If she was wronged and complained to someone in the future, the Mu family might not be able to support her."

"How could you say something bad and expect me to be wronged?" She joked.

"No, I don't dare." Wei'er immediately waved her hands to explain, "The maid is too late to hope for my wife's recovery, but I'm just afraid that my wife will be bullied in the future."

"I won't be wronged. Your wife can only let others be wronged."

Wei'er tilted her head and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "That's right, how could my lady be wronged."

She yawned and stood up on the table: "I'm really sleepy." I didn't sleep well last night, and I got up too early tonight, and my body couldn't hold it anymore.

After sleeping until noon, she simply ate something, and asked if anyone had come over in the past half day, Wei'er curled her lips and said coldly: "No one from the top to the bottom has come, I really left the lady here and ignored it."

"Isn't that comfortable?" She walked out the door with a smile, "Let's go to the back garden and see what early spring flowers are planted."
