Difficult to be a Concubine

Left Lady held her up, and laughed: "You don't like it? This doesn't seem like you! "

"Aunt, that bracelet is not suitable for me to wear. It's too big, I'm afraid it would cost at least eight taels!" Mu Rousang looked at her own thin and white arms in distress, then looked at the pair of thick bangles.

Left Lady laughed. "You, I can't do anything to you, but I'm afraid I have disappointed you today, the bracelet is only worth two taels of silver each."

"Two taels?" Mu Rousang had a face full of disbelief.

Left Lady smiled and said, "Chun Yi, bring that box over."

Chun Yi hurriedly brought the box in front of the two of them. Left Lady opened the box and took out one to weigh it in his hand, then he handed it over to Mu Rousang, smiling but not saying anything.

"Eh, why is this bracelet so light?" Hollow?! Mu Rousang immediately reacted.

"Aunt, your eyes are so sharp. You saw it right away."

However, Left Lady was amused by her flattery, and laughed: "You're still young, but you can't suppress these heavy and golden ornaments, so you didn't notice at first glance."

She pointed at the other bracelet in the box and said, "If this bracelet really has eight layers, how could it be placed so daintily on the red satin? It would naturally have to be pressed in quite a bit."

The main reason was because Left Lady did not think that Madam Hou would pamper a concubine she had never seen before, so when Shen Mama took it out, she became more thoughtful. A pair of bracelets of sixteen taels was different from a bracelet of four taels, and the bottom of the box was covered in a layer of cotton to look good.

"She is a virtuous person. No wonder she was praised by those in the capital. The gift she sent us today was sent to us despite knowing that we would be able to see through it. Do you know why?"

Hearing that the Left Lady was testing her again, she laughed: "Isn't it because we saw that the Princess Huaiqing and all the noble ladies were present? Even if we saw that the bracelet is fake, we would not say it out loud.

"Hehe, this Madam Hou is really interesting!" Mu Rousang's eyes flashed, and laughed very cutely, asking: "Aunt, earlier in the Flower Hall, I heard that The House of the Marquis of Loyalty's son has already gotten married."

Left Lady liked her to look so charming and weird. Her heart became softer and softer and she laughed: "What are you thinking now?"

However, Mu Rousang said: "In any case, this bracelet is worth at least four taels of gold, in other words, it is worth at least forty taels of silver." Saying this, she blinked several times and replied, "Well, Aunt, I plan to dig a pit. As for who I can coax into one, that will depend on whether or not those people are greedy enough."

Left Lady was also an intelligent person, upon hearing her words he laughed: "You, remember that New daughter-in-law has just entered the palace, do not mention anything, only when you have a clear idea of the situation will it be convenient to take action."

Mu Rousang naturally knew that the Left Lady was reminding her, and hurriedly agreed. However, in her heart, she was pondering how she should torture the Hou Mansion to the point that they were unable to remain calm. Thinking like this, she became more and more fervent, hoping to get married early so that she could cause a ruckus.

On this day, because they still had to guard the New Year's Eve, after lunch, everyone went to rest. In addition to that, at night, while guarding the New Year, Mu Rousang still could not endure it.

Mu Rousang yawned, and said while holding back her tears: "Grandmother, it's your turn to lose cards!"

"Hmm?!" "It's my turn, ten thousand thousand times." Old Madam Zuo took out a card and threw it on the table, then laughed: "Bullshit! Hurry up and give us the money! "

Mu Rousang looked at everyone with utter innocence. She really couldn't blame her, Old Madam Zuo had trained this consummate skill for dozens of years.

When they were close to each other, they finally heard the chimes of the various temples in the city chiming, and couldn't help but pray for a bit, but Mu Rousang was finally unable to take it anymore, and quickly brought lass out of the hall. When they reached her own room, she didn't even care about the people around him, she touched the bed and climbed over, the moment she touched her pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.

On the first day of the new year, everyone stayed at home to catch their breath. On the second day of the new year, Left Lady brought her to the feast once again, while the people from the left also brought the two Zuo brothers and Mu Jinzhi to walk around.

Today, when the snow was too cold, Old Madam Zuo called Mu Rousang to accompany her in the house to roast the fire.

The two of them were in the room, doing their housework when they heard the little girl report in, "Madam, Miss, the Ministry of Public Affairs has issued an order saying that Master will officially be promoted to the position of Minister of the Left in the Third Pin Department when January comes."

"Really?" Mu Rousang was overjoyed, this was a position of power, the Department of Public Affairs was only responsible for the evaluation of the serving officials and their promotions.

Old Madam Zuo also followed suit and laughed, saying, "Alright, alright, this year is a good year, the entire palace will be given a month's worth of salary."

Grandmother, rest assured, Sun's daughter-in-law has already given the orders for this matter. Congratulations to the Old Madam. Yu Xiuzhu then led the two little girls in.

"Little girl, isn't this the right time to express my feelings? "Why are you here?" Old Madam Zuo asked with a smile.

Yu Xiuzhu said: "Sun's daughter-in-law's mother sent people over to send some high-quality Blood Swallow nest, and then sent some out to send to grandmother and mother."

Saying that, she paused for a moment, looked at Mu Rousang and laughed: "Knowing that little cousin does not like this, I prepared some fish wings for you.

Mu Rousang thanked them as she stood up. The more time Yu Xiuzhu spent in the Zuo family, the more she felt that Mu Rousang was an intelligent person whose methods did not lose out to the people in the backyard.

Old Madam Zuo was already old, but after chatting for a while she lost all of her spirit, so Mu Rousang called for Dong Mei to help some people to help her enter the room to rest.

After arriving at the capital, because there were so many people in the mansion, and the Zuo Mansion was not as big as it was in Shu, Mu Rousang stayed in the Jade Curtain Cabinet mentioned by the Old Madam Zuo.

After a few more days, with the heavy snow still falling nonstop and the cold wind blowing, Mu Rousang brought the few girls she had brought to sit in her room to weave clothes.

"Where's the spring scenery?" Mu Rousang embroidered the array and discovered that the spring scene that was originally sitting in the room had disappeared.

Chun Yan smiled and said, "The lady still doesn't know her character. It's much harder to pinch a needle than to fight."

"She's just a spinning top. She can't sit still, so she probably ran off somewhere." Mu Rousang laughed and scolded, and it was not difficult for him to hear the doting tone in her words.

Chun Yi helped her put on the embroidery needle and said, "Isn't it too much for a girl to get used to? Now that it's over, she doesn't like to be a girl anymore. Every time she's talked to, she even righteously says that all three of us servants have done this, so she naturally doesn't want to fight with the servants for it."

Mu Rousang was listening to Chun Yi's complaints by the side of the smoke cage. Chun Feng got up and brewed a cup of tea for her.

"Miss, Young Master is here in the future!"

Mu Rousang helplessly put down her tea cup, reached out to rub her forehead and said to the silent Aunt Liu: "Aunt, I will remember to remind you later. Your voice is getting louder in the capital."

The Aunt Liu said in all seriousness: "Miss, most of the Wives in the capital have loud voices."

"Young lady, young lady, young master is coming." The spring scenery was filled with snowflakes that carried a chill as they entered the blue chiffon cabinet.

"Why don't you wear a cloak? If you carefully freeze to death, there will be times when you cry." Mu Rousang saw that her hands were red from the cold.

Then he asked: "You went to break plum branch s?"

The Eldest Young Lady told the wives in the garden to watch him closely, so I didn't break any branches. I only picked some flowers for the young lady to boil some tea, and also swept some snow from the stamen to come back. "

Mu Rousang laughed: Big Cousin has seen it clearly, let's see if I'll beat you up or not. Because during the New Year, all of the mansion's servants would be happy to gather a few plum blossoms, Yu Xiuzhu was afraid that the guests in her house would see a crooked melon and split jujube, so she made it clear that she could not break any branches.

Chun Jing smiled and said, "They won't be able to see that. Young lady, your servant is very strong and can run very fast, so I couldn't catch her. When I went back to the courtyard just now, I coincidentally bumped into a little girl who said that she was sending a letter to young lady. Young Master is here in the future."

"Send a letter?" Mu Rousang was startled, and immediately asked: "But what did she say?"

Because of the rules passed down down to them by the seniors, the two of them were not allowed to meet before their marriage. In the past, there were no seniors controlling the rules, but the rules were not as strict as it is now.

"Miss, don't worry. It's not a bad thing, but the shop that this lady asked her future Young Master to look at has arrived."

When spring saw her anxious, she knew that she was worried, so she quickly told her.

Mu Rousang was relieved, and said: "This Pu Zi asked him for information last fall, so she probably has an idea."

When Chun Yan heard this, he asked, "Then doesn't that mean the store is about to open? But if that is the case, the embroidered ladies have not arrived, I wonder when Wangfu-Tzu will be able to bring them here. "

"Right now, the north is still sealed with snow, and I'm afraid that after spring, there's no need to rush. However, since Pu Zi has been here for the past two months, he will need to repair himself. After everything is settled, I presume the Wangfu-Tzu has already brought them on the road."

However, Mu Rousang had already made up her mind to open a room in the in the capital, and was thinking about how she could earn money.

In the evening, she still could not think of a solution, but Mu Jinzhi came over to find her.

"Big brother, come in quickly. It's snowing outside, why are you here at this time?" Mu Rousang quickly told him to sit by the side of the incense cage and then told Chun Feng to brew a cup of hot tea for him.

Mu Jinzhi drank a mouthful of hot tea and felt comfortable from head to toe. He said: "This capital is much colder than our old home, do you have enough clothes for little sister? Do you want to order a few more sets of clothes?"

Although the Mu Clan could not be compared to the noble clans in the capital, they still had a good background. They only lacked resources, and this was not something that could be bought with silver.
