Chapter 733 Entering the Mansion
"Little Mu Daxing has met Mrs. Shizi."
Huo Xi hasn't done anything yet, Kan Er is already angry at Mu Daxing, "Why are you the only one here, why don't the others come to welcome Mrs. Shizi?"
Mu Daxing treated Kan Er with a respectful attitude: "If you go back to Mr. Kan Er, the madam has brought the young lady back to her mother's house, and the two aunts are not in the house. Only the third lady and the two young wives are waiting in the front hall."
Kan Er waited to say more, but Huo Xi stopped him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Xing. I am a junior, how dare I bother all the aunts to welcome you. Let's enter the mansion now, and don't keep the third lady waiting for a long time."
Mu Daxing answered yes, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and quietly raised his eyes to look at Huo Xi, the wife of the eldest son.
As the wife of the eldest son, the next wife of the Duke, she came to Yunnan thousands of miles away from the capital, and there were only a few servants in the mansion to greet her, thinking that this person would explode in front of the mansion, but she didn't.
But in his words, he compared his wife with the two aunts.
Yes, Mrs. Jun is just an aunt. It's just that in Kunming City, everyone recognizes her as the Duke's wife.
Mu Daxing lowered his gaze: "Madam Shizi, please enter the mansion with me. Mrs. Jun told me before leaving that you must make arrangements for Madam Shizi for her."
Hearing this, Huo Xi turned her head and glanced at him, it was Madam Madam's just now, so this is Madam Jun? He smiled, but didn't speak.
Xiangcao couldn't help but uttered: "The lady of the Duke is guarding the ancestral house of the Mu Mansion in the capital. Where is the lady in Kunming City? The lady is not here. Of course, it is the wife of our son who is the eldest, and she needs an aunt to arrange it?"
Mu Daxing nodded hurriedly and said yes: "Yes, the younger one said something wrong. After entering the mansion, the younger one will hand over the account book and the key pairs of various places to Mrs. Shizi."
"Aunt Jun ordered this too?"
Huo Xi frowned, was supported by Dongxue Qiushuang, and walked across the high threshold of the Duke of Qian's Mansion.
"Yes, Jun... Auntie gave orders before she left, and the wife of Shizi is in charge of everything."
Huo Xi smiled: "That's not necessary. I'm new here, and I'd get lost walking in this Nuoda's mansion. How can I be in charge of the house. You should just listen to Aunt Jun." Palm feed is still a good thing.
What is she drawing? She has no shortage of money. Why bother. What good business can the Jun family leave for her? Is she worth stepping on the hole dug by Mrs. Jun?
When will it be impossible to return to her natal family, but today she returned to her natal family when she first entered the mansion.
The courtyard of Qianguo Gongfu is deep, with a large courtyard surrounded by small courtyards, pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and garden corridors. I don’t know how many times I entered.
Listening to Mu Daxing's introduction, Xipinghou's mansion was expanded after it was enfeoffed as the Duke's mansion of the State of Qian, and the old man was posthumously named King of Qianning. compare.
Huo Xi walked all the way, but only saw a small corner of the Nuo Da Mansion.
First, Lord Hou gave birth to four sons, and the four wives gave birth to two concubines and two concubines. The Yuan wife Feng and the eldest son died early. The second master of Mu Yan's biological father, Mu Sheng, took over the town of Yunnan, the fourth master Mu Xin's family and Mrs. Yan Tai were in the capital, and the third master assisted Mu Sheng in guarding Yunnan. Now there are only two houses in the Qianguo Mansion in Kunming City, but it is said that there are hundreds of slaves and servants.
Among the four families, the eldest family has only one heir, Mu Yan, the second and fourth families have two sons, and the only third family has the largest population, with five sons and three daughters.
Huo Xi drove to the front yard in a sedan chair, saw the third wife, Mrs. Duan, and everyone greeted her in front of the front hall, hurriedly ordered people to get off the sedan chair, and walked over quickly.
"I have met Mrs. Shizi." The young wives and aunts of the third room hurriedly greeted Huo Xi.
"Second sister-in-law."
"Hey." All of a sudden, they made out a little.
Everyone smiled and looked at her, Huo Xi turned to Duan's: "It's my fault that Aunt Lao is welcoming you."
Duan said with a smile: "It's your fault. You came all the way, we didn't greet you at the gate of the mansion, and we were all rude. It's not that they don't know how to count, it's because our family only needs to go to the gate of the mansion. People often come forward to kneel down and stuff all kinds of things, but now they even seldom set foot in the front yard."
"No, I came all the way, and the people on the road heard that it was the carriage of the Mu Mansion, and they enthusiastically stuffed all kinds of things into the hands of the maids, and they couldn't walk on the road." Huo Xi smiled.
"It's true that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. We are all blessed by the old master. Come and sit with me in the living room. This road is full of mountains and rivers. Just thinking about it makes my legs weak , it’s hard for you to come here after walking on the road for more than a month.”
Ms. Duan took Huo Xi's hand with a smile, and led her into the hall.
The third wife, Duan, is a descendant of the Duan family in Dali, the wife of Mu Angyuan, the eldest daughter, and the second son.
The eldest daughter married Zhu Yong, Duke of the State, but died young and had no children. Now the Duan family only has one son by his side, but fortunately Mu Jun is filial and capable, he obeys orders by Mu Ang's side in the army, and Mu Yan often praises this cousin as a capable person.
Mu Ang also had two favored concubines, Wen Shi and Xing Shi.
After everyone sat down, Mrs. Duan introduced everyone in the hall to Huo Xi.
Although Mrs. Duan heard that she was a bit dull and didn't like to compete with concubines, but seeing that Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Xing followed suit and obeyed Mrs. Duan's words, Huo Xi felt that Mrs. Duan might be the real smart one people.
"This is your handsome cousin's wife Che Shi, this is Xiao Mu Lin, three years old, half a year younger than your little Yuer."
Huo Xi saw Mu Lin as soon as he saw the door. Now that Xiao Yuer is not here, he can't help liking him when he sees his nephew who is about the same age.
"Come, Lin'er, come and show the second aunt."
Little Mu Lin was not afraid of strangers, and ran towards Huo Xi, grabbing her knee and looking up at her.
"This child is really sweet, and he is not afraid of life." Huo Xi liked it very much, rubbed his little face, and smiled at Huo Xi.
Huo Xi's heart softened all of a sudden.
"Miss Xiao Yuer, right? I thought you were reluctant to let the child not come." Duan smiled.
Huo Xi sighed and said: "No, I really miss my son. I just left the boundary of the capital, and I wanted to turn around and go back. As far as I am concerned, I will be alone. Anyway, he is often away, and sometimes I don't see him a few times in a month. "
Huo Xi hugged Mu Lin, and asked Vanilla to give him a Fanren toy brought by the capital. Seeing him happily hugging him aside, he asked his sister to play together, and followed the two children with his eyes.
The little girl is Mu Xi's eldest daughter. She is four years old this year. Although she was pushed by her mother to greet Huo Xi, she is a little timid and not as lively as Mu Lin.
Duan sighed: "We women, when we have children, we are always in a dilemma when faced with husband-in-law and children. If I were to, I'm afraid I can't make a decision now."
"I also thought about it for a long time before I decided to go to Yunnan. It is conceivable that we may not be able to stay in Yunnan for a few years. I just left Xiao Yuer, otherwise I would never have kept my child in the capital. I don't know if I left , Will he break his throat from crying?"
Several people chatted about the children. Although they met for the first time, they were still warm.
"It's just that I heard from my third master's letter that the war on the border may not be over so soon, are you going to look for him?" Duan looked at Huo Xi.
