"Little Mu Daxing has met the Crown Prince's wife."
Before Huo Xi could do anything, Kan Er was already angry at Mu Daxing, "Why are you the only one here? Why don't the others come to greet the Crown Prince's wife?"
Mu Daxing treated Kan Er with a respectful attitude: "Replying to Mr. Kan Er, my wife has led the eldest young lady back to her parents' home, and the two aunts are not in the house. Only the third lady and the two young ladies are waiting in the front hall."
Kan Er was about to say more, but Huo Xi stopped him.
"Thank you for your hard work, supervisor. I am a junior. How dare I bother all the aunts to greet you. Let's enter the house now. Don't keep the third lady waiting for a long time."
Mu Daxing responded "Yes" and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He quietly raised his eyes to look at Huo Xi, the Crown Prince's wife.
As the wife of the crown prince and the next wife of the Duke, she traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Yunnan. There were only a few servants in the mansion to greet her. I thought she would have a seizure in front of the mansion, but she didn't.
But in his words, the lady was compared to the two aunts.
Yes, Mrs. Jun is just an aunt. But in Kunming City, everyone recognizes her as the Duke's wife.
Mu Daxing lowered his eyes and said: "Please invite the Crown Prince's wife to accompany me into the mansion. Before Mrs. Jun left, she told me to make arrangements for the Crown Prince's wife."
Huo Xi turned her head and glanced at him when she heard this. Just now it was Madam Madam, now it is Madam Jun? She smiled but did not speak.
Xiangxiang couldn't help but say: "The Duke's wife is guarding the ancestral residence of Mu Mansion in the capital. Where did the wife come from in Kunming City? If the wife is not there, of course it is our prince's wife who is the eldest, and she needs an aunt to make arrangements?"
Mu Daxing nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. After entering the house, I handed the account book and various keys and cards to the Crown Prince's wife."
"Is this also what Aunt Jun ordered?"
Huo Xi frowned and was supported by Dong Xue Qiu Shuang as she crossed the high threshold of the Duke of Guizhou's mansion.
"Yes, Jun...my aunt gave her instructions before she left. The Crown Prince's wife will make all the decisions."
Huo Xi smiled and said, "It's not necessary. I'm new here. I'm lost when I walk in this big mansion. How can I be in charge of the family? Just listen to Aunt Jun." The gift in the palm is still a good thing.
What does she want? She has no shortage of money. Why bother? What else can Jun leave for her? Can she step on the trap Jun dug?
It was not possible to go back to her parents' home at any time, but today she went back to her parents' home for the first time since she entered the house for the first time. No one knew who was who, and the relationship was already broken.
The courtyard of the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion is deep, with large courtyards, small courtyards, pavilions, terraces, pavilions, and garden verandas. I don't know exactly how many steps I entered and how many steps I walked. They all got on sedan chairs and were chased away, and they didn't even reach the front hall.
According to Mu Daxing's introduction, the Xiping Marquis Mansion was expanded after it was granted the title of Duke of Guizhou. In addition, the old Marquis was posthumously granted the title of Prince of Qianning. Although the regulations of the mansion are not as good as those of the Prince's Mansion, they are still comparable to those of the Prince's Mansion.
To compare.
Along the way, Huo Xi could only see a small corner of the Nuo Da Mansion.
The late Marquis gave birth to four sons, and four wives gave birth to two legitimate sons and daughters. His first wife, Feng, and his eldest son died young. Mu Yan’s biological father, the second master, Mu Sheng, lived in Yunnan. The fourth master, Mu Xin’s family, and Mrs. Yan were in the capital.
The third master assisted Mu Sheng in guarding Yunnan. Today, the Duke of Guizhou's mansion in Kunming City only has two rooms for people, but it is said that there are hundreds of servants.
Among the four-fang people, the eldest family member only has one heir, Mu Yan, and the second and fourth family members all have two sons. The third family member has the largest population, with five sons and three daughters.
Huo Xi drove her to the front yard in a sedan chair. When she saw the third lady Duan and everyone waiting in front of the front hall door, she hurriedly ordered people to get off the sedan chair and walked over quickly.
"I've met the Crown Prince, Madam." All the young ladies and aunts in the third room hurriedly paid tribute to Huo Xi.
"I have met the third aunt." Huo Xi also hurriedly saluted Mrs. Duan and helped everyone up, "Quickly stop being so polite and ask the second sister-in-law to be more affectionate."
"Second sister-in-law."
"Hey." They became a little intimate all of a sudden.
Everyone looked at her with smiles, and Huo Xi turned to Mrs. Duan: "It's my fault that Auntie Lao is greeting me."
Mrs. Duan smiled and said: "It's your fault. You came all the way, and we were rude if we didn't greet you in front of the house. It's not that they don't know how to count, it's because as long as our family members arrive in front of the house,
People often come forward to kneel down and stuff various things with them, but now they rarely even set foot in the front yard."
"No, I came all the way. The people on the road heard that it was a carriage belonging to the Mu family. They enthusiastically stuffed all kinds of things into the hands of the maids, making them unable to walk." Huo Xi said with a smile.
"It's true that people in the past planted trees and people in the future can enjoy the shade. We all owe it to the old Marquis. Come and sit with me in the hall. This road is full of mountains and water. Just thinking about it makes my legs weak.
, it’s hard for you to come here after being on the road for more than a month.”
Duan smiled and took Huo Xi's hand, leading her into the hall.
The third wife, Duan, is a descendant of the Duan family in Dali. She is the wife of Mu Ang Yuan, the eldest daughter and the second son.
The eldest daughter married the Duke Zhu Yong, but unfortunately died young and had no children. Today, the Duan family only has one son by their side. Fortunately, Mu Jun is filial and capable, and he obeys orders beside Mu Ang in the army. Mu Yan often praises this
My cousin is a capable person.
Mu Ang also had two favored concubines, Wen and Xing. Wen's eldest son Mu Xi, second daughter and fourth son Mu Zhong, Xing's fourth son Mu Zuo and fifth son Mu You.
After everyone sat down, Duan introduced everyone in the hall to Huo Xi.
Although Duan was said to be a bit dull and didn't like to compete with concubines for favor, seeing that Wen and Xing followed suit and obeyed Duan's words, Huo Xi felt that Duan might be the real smart one.
people.
"This is your cousin Jun's wife, Mrs. Che. This is little Mu Lin, three years old, half a year younger than your little Yu'er."
Huo Xi saw Mu Lin as soon as he entered the door. Now that Xiao Yu'er was not here, he couldn't help but feel fond of his nephew who was about the same age as Hu Touxun Nao.
"Come, Lin'er, come and show your second aunt."
Little Mu Lin was not afraid of anything, she ran towards Huo Xi, grabbed her knees and looked up at her.
"This kid is really cute and not afraid of life." Huo Xi liked it very much and rubbed his little face, and he smiled at Huo Xi.
Huo Xi's heart suddenly softened.
"Do you miss Xiao Yu'er? I thought you couldn't bear the child and wouldn't come." Mrs. Duan smiled.
Huo Xi sighed and said, "No, I really miss my son. As soon as I left the capital, I wanted to turn around and go back. I can only take one person by myself. Anyway, he is often away from home, and sometimes we don't see him more than once a month.
"
Huo Xi hugged Mu Lin and asked Xiangxiang to give him a Fanren toy brought by the capital. When she saw him, she happily hugged Mu Lin aside and asked her sister to play with her. She followed the two children with her eyes.
The little girl is Mu Xi's eldest daughter. She is four years old. Although she was pushed by her mother and greeted Huo Xi, she was a little timid and not as lively as Mu Lin.
Duan sighed: "When we women give birth to children, we are always in a dilemma when facing our husbands and children. I'm afraid I can't make a decision now."
"I thought about it for a long time before I decided to go to Yunnan. It can be said that we may not stay in Yunnan for a few years. I just gave up my little Yu'er now, otherwise I would never have left my child in the capital. I don't know if I left.
, will he break his throat from crying?"
Several people started chatting about the children. Although they had just met, they were still very friendly.
"It's just that I heard a letter from my third master saying that the war on the border may not be over soon. Are you going to look for him or not?" Mrs. Duan looked at Huo Xi.
