Chapter 20 State and Family Affairs

The news of the capital relocation has become known to the world, and now all families and tribes are taking action.

It is not unusual for the Yunnan Jun family to make some moves. Mu Jing married King Zhao and became his step-concubine, and is now in King Zhao's Mansion in Beijing.

The emperor only had three daughters-in-law, and Mu Jing was one of them. Regardless of whether she was favored or not, her status was transcendent.

Moreover, she has Yunnan Mu Mansion behind her, and King Zhao still loves her very much and entrusts her with the favor. She has also given birth to a son and a daughter in these years. Compared with King Zhao, Yuan Fei was deposed because she had no children, so her status seems to be secure.

With her status, she could have stopped taking orders from Yunnan Jun, but since Jun controlled her aunt, she could not help but help her plan.

Huo Xi smiled: "It's human nature for her to help a family."

Yu Wenying looked at her and sighed, "It's you and Mu Yan who are so generous. I can't do it. Your fourth uncle often said that our fourth brother-in-law has lived with your first brother-in-law since then, and what happens to Yunnan has nothing to do with us.

And I’m afraid we won’t go back to Yunnan in the future.”

Now Yu Wenying has lived a solid life with Mu Xin, and her family has accepted Mu Xin, often giving them this gift or that. Now her husband is loving, she has two children, her stepson is sensible and obedient, and she has nothing more to ask for.

"Mu Jin doesn't go back to his hometown very much now." Yu Wenying sighed again.

Mu Jin was married in the capital, and she was supposed to rely on her elder brother Mu Yan, but her aunt was also controlled by the Jun family, and now she rarely visits her.

"She's also troubled with everything."

Huo Xi is the kind of person who respects me one point and I give the other three points in return. If others don't get close to them, she doesn't expect them, so she will naturally be indifferent.

"Hey, the Guo family is also in a mess and can't live in peace."

Yu Wenying is now even more impressed by the fact that there are few people and less things in the Mu Mansion in the capital, and she is also impressed by the tranquility of their four rooms.

Mu Jin married Guo Xuan, the second wife of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion. Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, was Guo Xuan's grandfather.

Guo Ying followed Taizu to conquer the world and became a marquis for his military merits. He sided with the late emperor and launched the Northern Expedition against Emperor Yongkang. Emperor Yongkang won. Guo Ying also died in the first year of Yongkang. His second son Guo Ming, Guo Xuan's father, committed suicide.

He died. There are only two 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 Wuding Hou Mansion.

It is probably because of the marriage between three generations of his family and the emperor. It is not easy to deal with the old in-laws. Emperor Yongkang took the throne from his nephew, and he had to take some care of his sisters and brothers. Only in Guo

After Ying left, he kept suppressing their family and refused to give him a title.

Guo Zhen, the eldest member of the Guo family, married Princess Yongjia, who was born to Taizu, but Guo Zhen died young during the previous dynasty. Although Guo Zhen died young, the eldest family still had a son.

Although the second room was full of orphans and widowed mothers, Guo Xuan's sister married the prince and became a concubine. She gave birth to three sons and was quite favored. The younger sister also married the king of Han.

The big house and the second house are constantly fighting for the title, and Guo Ying still has ten sons alive. Therefore, the Guo family is not only fighting for the title of the big house and the second house, each house is fighting openly and secretly, and it is bloody.

After all, it is a hereditary title, and you will live as long as the country. What head of the house wouldn't want it? Ansheng can't live in peace.

Huo Xi and Yu Wenying looked at each other and sighed.

"Our house is still quiet." Yu Wenying sighed.

Although there are constant movements in Yunnan, the Mu Mansion in the capital is controlled by Mu Yan and Huo Xi. The sun is bright and the wind is clear, so Yu Wenying likes such quiet days very much.

"Yeah, I don't have the patience to deal with a lot of personnel and entertainment. Fortunately, our house is quiet."

The Mu Mansion in the capital only has a fourth bedroom, and the fourth master has a very good relationship with Mu Yan. The second bedroom only has one Mu Wang, and he has respected this eldest brother and sister-in-law very much over the years. Although Mrs. Geng is on the side of the second bedroom, luckily she is not

She often acted like a demon, but Mu Yan was able to control her, and the family was very peaceful.

Compared with the Zhang family in the British government, it was like heaven and earth. Huo Xi had to help the Hou family deal with the Zhang family's numerous middle-income families, in-laws, family affairs, etc., which was very exhausting.

"Xi'er, tell me, which head of house will the title of Marquis Wu Ding end up in?" My house is quiet and there is no gossip to talk about, so I can only talk about the gossip about my in-laws' old home.

"If the prince successfully ascends the throne, Mu Jin can still be a marquis."

Yu Wenying nodded: "I think so."

Because the prince likes Concubine Guo so much, he overpowers the concubine. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne and Concubine Guo gets a high position, her second wife will not ascend to heaven?

"Then what if..." What if the prince cannot ascend the throne? After all, King Zhao and King Han are more favored by the emperor than the prince.

Huo Xi smiled and glanced at her, "The prince is not favored, but the grandson is. Besides, Mu Jin also has a sister-in-law who is favored by the King of Han."

Uh...then if the King of Han had good luck, his title would still be that of the second-fleeing prince?

Yu Wenying clicked his tongue and sighed, "This means that you won't lose on both ends." Betting on both ends? You're not afraid that you won't lose.

No, there are more than two. There is also Mu Jing on King Zhao's side. The two sisters have a good relationship. If luck comes in the future, the title will probably still fall to Mu Jin.

Mu Jin can really be a Marquis. Of the two concubines of the Mu family, one became a princess and the other became a Marquis. It seems that the ancestral tomb was chosen well.

"They are all human beings. I don't have to worry about these anymore. I just need to raise Yingying and Chen'er." Yu Wenying saw her son sitting obediently in Huo Xi's arms, grinning at her, and felt soft-hearted.

into water.

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

Although the Mu Mansion is quiet, there are a lot of things going on. At the end of the year, the stores and Zhuangzi still have to keep accounts, pay rewards to servants, issue annual reports, and check the accounts of various places. There are interpersonal exchanges in various parts of the capital.

There is also something to worry about when sending gifts and visiting.

There are also several families where in-laws live. For example, the Dingguo Palace. Mu Yan’s aunt is now the concubine of the Dingguo Palace. The two families often move around, and they have to send a new year gift to the Dingguo Palace during the Chinese New Year.

.

There is also Cheng's natal family. Although Mu Yan has been adopted into the eldest family, her biological mother is her biological mother, and no one can change this fact. Cheng's natal family is naturally Mu Yan's maternal grandfather's family. Although it does not appear to be the case, in fact

This is still my maternal grandfather.

You still need to prepare a New Year gift.

There are also Huo Xi's natal family, the British Crown Prince, the Huo family on the side of her adoptive father and mother, her maternal uncle's family, Yang Fu's family, her maternal grandfather's family, her maternal uncle's family, various business partners, and various personnel receptions. There are also people who come to the door to give gifts and ask for gifts in return.

Replying to greetings, walking around...and so on.

Also very busy.

It’s not until New Year’s Eve that I can take a breather.

Early in the morning, the family went to the family temple to pay homage to their ancestors. There are currently five juniors in the family, and Xiao Yuer is the youngest.

Seeing that the youngest Mu Chen, who could not walk yet, was being hugged and kneeling in front of him, Xiao Yuer glanced left and right, and realized that Uncle Mu Jie was older than him, and Aunt Mu Ying was also older than him.

It’s understandable to be in front of him, but Chenchen can’t even walk and is younger than him, so why are she still in line in front of him?
