His voice was cold: "Since Mu Wang hasn't learned the rules, he should learn them in the mansion first before going out. In order to avoid being laughed at, our Xipinghou Mansion comes from a barbarian land in the southwest."
Before Geng could speak, Mu Wang rushed in.
Pointing at Mu Yan, he jumped on his feet: "You don't have any rules! You are from a barbarian land!"
Mu Yan nodded: "Yes, I have indeed stayed in the barbarian land for more than ten years."
Mu Wang gritted his teeth. He had stayed in the barbarian land for more than ten years. As for himself, who was born and raised there, this was the first time he came back to the capital. He was very angry.
"I want to leave the house! Don't even think about locking me up. Then I will smash them every day, and I will only pick the expensive ones!" Humph, I feel so sorry for you mother and son.
Mu Yanhun didn't care: "Smash it. I'll have someone do the accounting then and send it to your father and aunt. I'll just ask them for money."
Mu Wang choked.
He jumped up again: "Why are you asking my father and mother for money! It's not like there is no industry in the capital. Don't think I don't know that you have taken all the industry in the capital and sent Muren away without sending a penny of money to Yunnan.
.This is the Xiping Hou Mansion, and it is my father, the Marquis, who has the final say! Your father is dead!"
"Wang'er!" Geng shouted to stop him.
Mu Yan stared at him coldly, until Mu Wang did not dare to look at him, and then he spoke: "You know a lot. Now that you know, just obey the rules and learn them. Don't be ignorant of respect, inferiority, filial piety and brotherhood."
Mu Wang was so angry that he shouted at him: "Didn't you lock me up just because I didn't go to Cheng's house for dinner? Humph, he's not my uncle. My uncle's surname is Jun, and he lives in Yunnan. He's not here!"
"It seems that all the books you read in Yunnan were eaten by dogs, and the academies in the capital did not teach you the dignity of concubines. Then there is no need to go out, just learn in the mansion first. Sir, I will help you come into the mansion.
If one is not enough, please invite a few more.”
"Don't even think about it! I want to leave the house and go to the academy!" He hasn't seen enough of the colorful world in the capital, so don't even think about locking him up.
Mu Yan was unmoved, and was so angry that he was jumping around in the flower hall, as if he was watching a play.
Geng had a headache.
Now that Mrs. Cheng has refused to give her the gift, it doesn't matter. All the guards in the house, even the concierge, are Mu Yan's people. The people she brought back from Yunnan were actually helpless to them.
These days, no one dares to stop her from leaving the house. Even if Zhan Wanger follows her, she will not be able to get out. As soon as she reaches the door, she will be stopped without even giving her face.
She felt that the prestige of the dowager was threatened.
He persuaded her earnestly: "He is still young, and you are the eldest brother, so you have to argue with him about this kind of thing? Then he is not the only one in the Cheng family to celebrate his birthday."
Mu Wang saw his grandmother speaking for him, with a proud look on his face: "Yeah, it doesn't matter if I don't go to Cheng's house. If I go, will he be happy to eat an extra piece of meat? Why should I be locked up?"
Mu Yan didn't bother to argue with him: "It doesn't matter. From now on, we will all go through the main door, and you can go through the side door and the corner door. It shouldn't matter."
"Why!" Mu Wang jumped up. Seeing his hard heart, he pulled Geng to act like a coquettish idiot and asked Geng to help him speak.
What happened in the flower hall soon spread to the fourth master Mu Xin's yard.
Princess Chang Ning does not have a princess mansion, and her whole family lives in the Mu mansion. She is not in good health and does not go out for leisure. Mu Xin, the prince-in-law, does not have any real duties, and the couple usually brings their son Mu Jie to the mansion.
Mrs. Yan was holding her grandson Mu Jie in her arms and was feeding him. After listening to the servant, she stroked her grandson's hair and said, "We Jie'er must listen to the big brother and don't make him angry."
Now the whole family lives in the mansion. They are concubines. Although the son is married to a princess, the princess is not favored. The son, the consort, has no job, and the whole family has to live close to the prince's mansion.
Mu Jie nodded and said in a sweet voice: "Jie'er is obedient and likes big brother."
Mrs. Yan smiled and praised him.
It's also strange. Mu Yan is usually aloof and treats Mu Wang as nothing, but he treats his cousin Jie'er very well. He doesn't forget to give Jie'er a piece of anything delicious or fun.
Mu Xin looked at his son and smiled: "Auntie, don't worry, Yan'er is a person who knows his grudges clearly and he remembers feelings. We have helped him secretly many times in Yunnan, and he has always remembered it in his heart."
Mr. Yan shook his head and sighed: "If your father and your eldest brother are still here, and this child can successfully become his heir apparent, and successfully ascend the throne in the future, we will only get better and better if we live next to Yan'er in the same room. Now...
Secretly, my aunt still hopes that Yan'er can attack the jue. As Jun is so arrogant, if her son attacks the jue, we will not be able to live in this room or the third room."
Mu Xin was silent. Now it was his second brother who had succeeded to the throne, and Yan'er had been adopted by his eldest brother. It was not easy to succeed.
Princess Chang Ning coughed several times and covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "I am useless, otherwise I can help him say a few words in front of my father."
Mu Xin calmed her down and comforted her: "Don't worry about this. Just take good care of yourself. Now that you're back in the capital, you're feeling better. Don't think too much about it. The imperial doctor comes to see you every now and then. Just don't worry.
Just take good care of yourself, I’ll take care of the outside world.”
Mu Jie slid off Yan's body and came to her mother's side. She patted her mother's back with her small hands and said, "Mom, take good care of yourself."
"Okay, my son is good. Mother takes good care of herself."
I don't know how many more years I can survive. If I leave, the consort will always marry again, and Jie'er will be worse off than his cousin. He will have to find more arms for Jie'er.
Geng had no choice but to coax Mu Wang into submission and let him go to his aunt Cheng to admit his mistake.
With Cheng's intercession, Mu Yan relieved Mu Wang.
Mu Wang finally gained some wisdom after a hard time, and did not act recklessly and did the right thing with Mu Yan. The situation is stronger than others, and his cousin has control over everything in the house. If he is offended, he will have trouble leaving the house.
.
On the surface, he surrendered, but secretly, he did not. He wrote to his father and mother, and severely sued Mu Yan. Privately, he thought that his father, the marquis, would come and reprimand Mu Yan.
Who asked him to adopt him out? Now he is considered fatherless and motherless. There is almost no one in his big house. He will have to look at the faces of the people in his house in the future. The Marquis Mansion in the capital belongs to their second house, not the main house.
In the future, he will be a side branch and will go out to open a mansion. This prince's mansion is not his.
Mu Yan didn't bother to pay attention to the child's thoughts.
As for Huo Xi, after waiting for seven days, he entered the kang room again.
Huo Erhuai and others followed him in, but they didn't dare to take action and just watched from the side.
Huo Xi opened the straw and saw that the crystallization was better than the previous two days.
There was no sugar liquid underneath in the basin, but in the bucket, a few cotton threads were lifted up, and the rock sugar was very large. The walls of the surrounding bucket were also covered with thick rock sugar, and there was a shallow layer of sugar liquid at the bottom.
Huo Xi directed everyone to knock out the rock sugar from the buckets and basins. The knocked out rock sugar was placed on the kang bed to dry.
"Xi'er, is this done?" Everyone looked at her expectantly.
