Chapter 722 National and Family Affairs
The news of the relocation of the capital was revealed to the world, and now every family and clan is moving.
It is not unusual for the Yunnan Junshi to have some actions. Mu Jing married Zhao Wang and became his second concubine, and now she is in the Zhao Wang Mansion in Beijing.
The emperor has only three daughters-in-law, and Mu Jing is one of them. Regardless of whether he is favored or not, his status is detached.
Besides her, there is the Yunnan Mu Mansion, King Zhao still loves her a lot, and entrusts her with rewards. In recent years, she has also given birth to a son and a daughter. Compared with Concubine Zhao Yuan who was abolished because of childlessness, it seems that her status is secure.
With her status, she could have stopped obeying orders from the Jun family in Yunnan, but since the Jun family took control of her aunt, it was inevitable that she would help the Jun family in planning.
Huo Xi smiled: "It's only natural for her to help a family."
Yu Wenying looked at her and sighed, "It's you and Mu Yan who are more generous. I can't do it if I want. Your fourth uncle often said that our fourth wife will follow your first wife, and what happens in Yunnan has nothing to do with us. And we probably won’t go back to Yunnan in the future.”
Now Yu Wenying has lived with Mu Xin steadfastly, and her family has also accepted Mu Xin, sending them gifts from time to time. Now her husband is loving, her sons and daughters are perfect, her stepson is sensible and obedient, and she has nothing else to ask for.
"Mu Jin doesn't go back to the house much now." Yu Wenying sighed again.
Mu Jin was married in the capital, and she was supposed to rely on Mu Yan, her elder brother, but her aunt was also controlled by the Jun family, and now she seldom visits her.
"She's got a lot going on too."
Huo Xi is the kind of person who respects me one point, and I return three points to others. If others don't get close to them, she hasn't counted on the other party, so she is naturally indifferent.
"Hey, their Guo family is also a bunch of bad things, and they can't live in peace."
Now Yu Wenying is even more impressed by the fact that there are few people in the Jingshi Mu Mansion, and that their four rooms are quiet.
Mu Jin married Guo Xuan, the second roommate of Wuding Hou's mansion, and Wuding Hou Guoying was Guo Xuan's grandfather.
Guo Ying followed the Taizu to conquer the world and became a marquis with military merits. Standing on the side of the late emperor, the Northern Expedition Yongkang Emperor. As a result, Emperor Yongkang won. Guo Ying also died in the first year of Yongkang, and his second son Guo Ming, Guo Xuan's father, committed suicide. There are some orphans and widows left in the second room.
The Guo family was concerned, but they did not expect that Emperor Yongkang did not liquidate the Marquis Wuding Mansion.
Probably because of the marriage of three generations of his family with the imperial family. It is not easy to deal with old in-laws. Emperor Yongkang took the throne of his nephew, so he also had to take care of his sisters and brothers. Only after Guo Ying left, they kept pressing their family not to attack the noble.
Guo Zhen of the Guo family's big house honored Princess Yongjia, born to Taizu, but Guo Zhen died early in the previous dynasty. Although Guo Zhen died young, the big house still had a son.
Although the second room is a house of orphans and widows, Guo Xuan's sister married the prince and became a concubine, and gave birth to three sons, so she was quite favored. The younger sister also married the King of Han.
The title of Dafang and Erfang is endlessly competing, but Guo Ying still has ten sons alive. Therefore, the Guo family's fight for the title is not limited to the first and second families, each house is fighting openly and secretly, and it's bloody.
After all, it is a hereditary title, and lives the same life as the country. Who wouldn't want it? An Sheng can't.
Huo Xi and Yu Wenying looked at each other, both feeling deeply.
"Our house is still quiet." Yu Wenying sighed.
"Yeah, I'm also impatient to deal with a bunch of personnel and entertainment. Fortunately, our house is quiet."
There is only one four-room house in Mu's residence in the capital, and the fourth master has a very good relationship with Mu Yan. The second room only has Mu Wang, and they have respected this eldest brother and sister-in-law all these years. Although Mrs. Geng Tai stood on the side of the second room, fortunately she didn't often act as a demon, and Mu Yan could control her, and the house was very quiet.
Compared to the Zhang family in the British government, it is really a heaven and an earth. Back then, Huo Xi helped the Hou family deal with the Zhang family's wealth, old in-laws, family affairs, etc., which was exhausting.
"Xi'er, tell me, which house will the title of Marquis Wu Ding end up in?" My house is quiet and there is nothing to gossip about, so I can only gossip about my in-laws and old family.
"If the crown prince successfully ascends the throne, Mu Jin can still be a Marquis."
Yu Wenying nodded: "I think so too."
Because the crown prince likes Concubine Guo Shu so much, he has overwhelmed the Concubine Crown Princess. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Concubine Guo Shu will be given a high position. Doesn’t her second wife ascend to heaven?
"Then what if..." What if the crown prince fails to ascend the throne? After all, the king of Zhao and the king of Han are more favored by the emperor than the crown prince.
Huo Xi glanced at her with a smile, "The prince is not favored, but the grandson is. Besides, Mu Jin has a sister-in-law who is favored by the King of Han."
Uh...then if the King of Han had good luck, the title would still be the Second Widow?
Yu Wenying clicked his tongue and sighed, "This is not falling on both ends." Betting on both ends? Don't be afraid that you won't be able to fall.
No, more than two ends. There is also Mu Jing on Hanwang's side, and the two sisters have a good relationship. If there is a fortune in the future, the title may still fall to the man Mu Jin.
Mu Jin can really be a Mrs. Hou. Of the two concubine daughters of the Mu family, one has become a princess and the other has become Mrs. Hou. It seems that the ancestral grave was chosen well.
"They're all smart people. I don't need to worry about these things. I just need to take care of Yingying and Chen'er." Seeing her son sitting obediently in Huo Xi's arms, Yu Wenying grinned at her, her heart softened. into water.
In the blink of an eye, it will be New Year's Eve.
Although the Mu Mansion is quiet, there are many things going on. At the end of the year, Zhuangzi still has to keep accounts in various shops, distribute rewards to servants everywhere, issue annual regulations, and check the accounts of various places. There are also people to worry about in all places in Beijing, such as giving gifts and visiting people.
There are also a few families with old in-laws. For example, Dingguo Mansion. Mu Yan's aunt is now the wife of Duke Dingguo's mansion, and the two families often move around, and they also have to send an annual gift to Dingguo mansion during the Chinese New Year.
There is also Cheng's natal family. Although Mu Yan has adopted to the eldest family, but the birth mother is the birth mother, and no one can change this fact. Cheng's natal family is naturally also Mu Yan's relatives' maternal grandfather's family. Although it is not on the surface, in fact this is still a pro-grandfather.
Still have to prepare an annual gift.
There are also Huo Xi's mother's family's British government, the Huo family's adoptive father and mother's side, Yang Fu's family, maternal grandfather's family, maternal uncle's family, business partners and personnel receptions everywhere, and others who come to give gifts and ask for gifts in return. Posting back to greetings, walking around... and so on.
is also busy.
It is not until New Year's Eve that I can take a breather.
Early in the morning, the whole family worshiped their ancestors in the ancestral hall. Now there are five juniors in the mansion, Xiao Yu'er is the youngest.
Seeing Mu Chen, the youngest who can't walk, being hugged and kneeling in front of him, Xiao Yu'er glanced left and right, Mu hoped that Uncle Mu Jie was older than him, and little aunt Mu Ying was also older than him, It is understandable to be in front of him, but Chenchen can't even walk, and is younger than him, so why is he still in front of him?
