Mu Jun raised his eyes and glanced at the self-righteous Mu Xi, then glanced at his younger brothers.
Be silent.
Except for him, the legitimate son, the other four brothers are all concubines, and they also belong to three mothers. How can we be of the same mind?
Mu Xi relied on the fact that he was the eldest son of the third wife and never paid much attention to him as his legitimate son. He was somewhat complicit with Mu Zhan, the eldest son of the second wife.
It is normal for Mu Xi to have such thoughts.
After hearing this, Mu Ang just wanted to go up and slap Mu Xi. See what this says? Is this what a smart person should say?
"I think the second brother is pretty good. The second sister-in-law is also more generous than the elder sister-in-law. She gave us many gifts and we are easy to get along with." Mu You, the youngest, suddenly said.
The elder sister-in-law has eyes on the top of her head, so when she sees them, it is as if she has not seen them. But the second sister-in-law will talk to them and chat with them very kindly.
"Yes. I also like the second brother and the second sister-in-law. Although the second brother is unsmiling, he is fair in dealing with others and can convince others with his words."
Muzzo agreed with his brother's words.
Although his two brothers are young, they have followed their elder brothers in the council hall since they were seven years old. Today, the second brother's performance in the council hall impressed him deeply.
He liked this second brother. He felt that his grandfather had the most vicious vision and chose the second brother to adopt as his uncle. This heir should be the second brother. The second brother was better than the eldest brother.
Everyone looked at the two brothers.
Except for the three eldest ones, Muzuo Muyou was born from the same mother's womb, and the two brothers are still young, but in their early ten years, they are well protected by their parents, and they still have a childlike heart when dealing with others.
"What do you know!" Mu Xi refuted them.
"Shut up! Look what you say to your brother!" Mu Ang scolded.
Mu Xi was dissatisfied, but kept his mouth shut.
Mu Jun lowered his eyes and said nothing. Mu Zhong glanced at the fourth brother and said nothing. He was not the legitimate son of the third wife, nor was he the eldest son, so it was not his turn to take the lead.
Mu Ang had a headache.
Speaking selfishly, out of the four members of the Mu family, only two and three are left in Yunnan. Mu Zhan, the second member of the family, is the only one who stays in Yunnan to help the Duke. The military and political affairs of this province cannot be handled by the father and son of the second member.
If you can handle it, you should rely more on their help from the third room.
Mu Zhan is not smart, but he can actually show the role of Sanfang and his son even more.
But Mu Zhan is too stupid to go against the prince, and there is no possibility for the two of them to live in peace. Their third house is caught in the middle, and if it is not handled well, it will do them no good. The third house only needs to stick to its true intentions and be impartial.
Just do your own thing well.
But Mu Xi, this stupid son, sided with Mu Zhan. If it aroused the prince's hatred, what good would it do to their third wife?
Look at what the Crown Prince is doing today, and then look at what Huo Xi, the Crown Prince's wife, is doing on Jade Street. These two couples are extremely smart. They are definitely not comparable to Mu Zhan and his wife.
It was his father who had a vicious vision and chose Mu Yan as his heir apparent. This was also a blessing for Yunnan.
Regardless of selfish calculations, long-term considerations, or for the sake of the people of Yunnan, the three houses should be impartial and choose to side with the successor. Whoever succeeds as the person in charge of Yunnan will be helped by the three houses.
Now it is obvious that Mu Zhan cannot kill Mu Yan, and Mu Yan is firmly seated as the crown prince. Not only does the third chamber favor the crown prince, but he only needs to show his abilities to the crown prince. In the future, when the crown prince returns to Beijing, he will trust the third chamber to entrust the political affairs of Yunnan to the throne.
house.
It's just that Mu Xi is stupid and wants to ruin the affairs of the third room. He stares at Mu Xi, wishing he could poke holes in his stupid head.
Huo Xi won a wave of hearts on Jade Street, which was beyond Mu Zhan's imagination.
In Jun's courtyard, mother and son were silent.
Mrs. Jun looked at Wushi and began to regret having arranged this marriage for her son.
She should have asked the Duke to choose a marriage for Zhan'er in the capital, a daughter from a powerful family, even if she was a concubine. Maybe Zhan'er would have been crowned the heir apparent with the help of the Yue family in the capital.
Look at what Zhang is doing now, and compare it to Wushi... Jun just wants to swallow a few buckets of regret medicine before he gives up.
"Why does mother look at me like this?" Wu Shi felt that the way her mother-in-law looked at her was uncomfortable and strange.
"Starting from tomorrow, let Ying'er live in the front yard. Don't stay in the backyard all the time. The more you keep her, the less useful she will be."
"Mom! Ying'er is only seven years old." Wushi now only has one son, so how could she be willing to let him live alone in the front yard.
"That's it."
Jun didn't listen to her. Seeing that she wanted to refute, he stared at her lightly: "The man named Zhang gained a lot of popularity in Yushi Street today. He and his wife just returned to Yunnan and have done a lot of things. If you don't
Look at you, these days you are either staying at your parents’ house or racing horses at the racecourse. Do you still think you are the daughter-in-law of the Mu family?”
Wu Shi disagreed: "Mother! You didn't say that you want me to have more contact with my parents' family and meet my sisters from my parents' family more so that I can help Mu Zhan. Now it's my fault that I go to my parents' house frequently?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Mu Zhan hurriedly stopped it.
"Mom, she is not homeless, she is also helping me. If she and my father-in-law hadn't helped me, those chieftains wouldn't be willing to sell my face. What's the use of Mu Yan and his wife playing tricks? Who knows him among those chieftains? I
He has only been here as long as he has been operating in Yunnan."
"You must not be careless, and Mu Yan must not be underestimated." Jun said sternly.
She couldn't kill Mu Yan when he was a child. Now that he has grown up, it will be even harder to kill him.
Mu Zhan didn't care, "Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."
Thinking of the two hundred thousand taels of silver sent by Chu Yi, he felt proud. Is Mu Yan smart? Smart enough to give him money?
He secretly calculated in his mind how many private soldiers he could recruit with the money. His father did not support him, but as long as he had money, he could still accomplish anything. There was nothing that money could not solve.
Because of his calculations in his mind, he did not take Jun's warning to heart.
Mu Zhan was not the only one to receive a banknote today.
In Cuihuang Courtyard, Mu Yan looked at a box of banknotes: "So many?" He picked it up and counted it, and found that there were five hundred thousand taels!
Huo Xi nodded proudly, "Well, half of that cart of stone has been cut and raised, and there are several pieces of ice. I sold half to the people who were looking at the stones, and kept the other half for Wanjia to help carve out.
, put it in their shop for sale."
He took the banknotes and explained them to Mu Yan.
"Two hundred thousand taels was the money I got from selling the jade, and the three hundred thousand taels was what everyone pledged when they heard that you and I were going to do something practical for the people in the city. By the time I left, almost the entire Jade Street and the wealthy merchants in the city had
Everyone sent me banknotes. I didn’t expect it to be as much as 300,000 taels."
Mu Yan looked at her intently, feeling in his heart how lucky he was to have her by his side.
He calmed down his emotions and made careful calculations with her... "It won't cost much money to dig a well. I'm afraid it won't be enough to build a road."
"It's okay, we will add more when the time comes. If the jade jewelry is sold, there should be some income."
