The meal was tasteless, and Liu Yun was looking forward to it being over early so that they could go back and watch the New Year's Eve. I heard that in previous years, the Marquis stayed in the First Lady's room to watch the New Year's Eve, and I thought there would be no change this year.
Everyone's topics went round and round, and finally fell on Liuyun and Mufu.
Dongfang Yuan has always been a supporter of the New Deal, so he has always supported the emperor's efforts to improve the status of merchants. In his eyes, as long as he works hard for the people of the world, no matter who he is, he is worthy of praise.
At this time, Dongfang Jing was trying hard to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table. This matter has always been his responsibility. At this moment, he was telling a story told by storytellers in the market, saying that the eldest daughter of the Mu family was not afraid of hardships and dangers and went there alone.
Transporting medicinal materials at the border can be a role model for women.
When he was talking enthusiastically, Dongfang Ye gave him a cold look, and he stopped abruptly. Only then did he realize that the eldest lady's expression was unconcerned and she didn't seem to be very happy.
He was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing. He had just been busy saying good things to the new sister-in-law, but he had forgotten that the principal wife of their Hou family was a daughter of a famous family. She had been raised in a boudoir since she was a child and had never been
I only learned from women to teach women, and to regard their husbands as their first priority. What they don’t like the most is women showing up in public.
"Sister Liuyun, are you really on the road with a group of men? Aren't you afraid after these few days? If it were me, I would be scared to death." Su Wan blinked, with a look of worry on her face.
, as if he was really frightened.
"I didn't expect that the daughter of the Mu family would be so courageous. The eldest young master has found a piece of rough jade this time." Shangguan Lurong, who has never been very talkative, said something strangely, but whether it was a compliment or a criticism is a matter of opinion.
Liuyun had already scolded Dongfang Jing in his heart. Why bring up the matter of Ma Lian when there was nothing to do? Maybe in the eyes of their three young masters and the Marquis, she, Mu Liuyun, was a righteous woman who did not stick to trivial matters and was brave.
She is a good person, but in the eyes of any mother-in-law, she would not like such a daughter-in-law, especially a daughter-in-law like Ling Lan.
"It was also an emergency situation at that time. My father had an accident and the house was in chaos. My younger brother was young and he couldn't leave. So I was the only one who could go." Liu Yun sighed and said helplessly, "I want to go."
It is impossible to say that I am not afraid. This is also my first time traveling far away. Before I left, my grandmother specially called me to the room and told me that as long as I could deliver the medicinal materials safely, maybe the imperial court would allow us to use the medicine in the Mu Mansion.
Fortunately, what happened to my father turned out to be a false alarm."
These words were simple and plain, but they also explained the hardships at that time.
If there was no way out, how could a young girl who had just grown hair go to deliver a batch of herbal medicines? Upon hearing this, the Marquis looked at Liuyun and Mu Mansion with even more admiration. Logically speaking, Mu Mansion should have suffered a misfortune at that time.
I don't want to worry about the border affairs anymore, but Mu Mansion is still worried about national affairs at such a critical time. Maybe as Liu Yun said, Mu Mansion also has the intention of extinguishing merit, but in any case, the medicinal materials sent by Mu Mansion can save people's lives.
This is an indelible fact that has killed countless people on the border.
Thinking of this, Mr. Hou squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the fair and clear wife in front of him. He was an old fox who had been in official circles all his life. How could he not see how hidden this girl was? But it was also good. His eldest son Gao Shen
It is unpredictable that if his wife is just a docile lady, she may not be able to keep up with him, but this girl in front of him is very suitable for him.
"A woman has to get married after all. Worrying about the country and the people is a man's business. In the past, it was just a matter of being in the Mu Mansion. Now that you are married to the Hou Mansion, don't think about those things that were public in the past. As a woman of the Hou Mansion,
You have to look like the Marquis, Ye'er will always succeed the Marquis in the future, you are the Marquis's wife, don't lose his face." Ling Lan spoke lightly, with no emotion or anger on his face, just a cold tone.
She still wanted people to see her displeasure.
"Yes, my wife has remembered it." Liu Yun pursed his lips and replied respectfully.
The atmosphere froze slightly, and Bai Ruoyan suddenly pursed her lips and chuckled: "But having said that, the young lady's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but it reminds me of something."
Everyone's eyes turned to her, quite curious.
"Master Hou, do you still remember? At that time, not long after sister Ling Yue was born, the prince was sent to the northwest to fight. It lasted more than a month and there was no news at all. Sister Ling Yue went to the northwest to look for him alone because she was worried about him.
"After Bai Ruoyan said this, he glanced at Ling Lan who was looking pale.
At that time, both the Ling family, the Bai family, and the Dongfang family were working for the imperial court in the capital, and the children had known each other since they were young. However, Bai Ruoyan and the Ling sisters had not had a good relationship since they were young. Part of the reason was probably because Dongfang Yuan was far away.
relationship. At that time, the Ling sisters all liked Dongfang Yuan, and Ling Yue and Dongfang Yuan fell in love in the far northwest desert, that is, when she went all the way to the northwest to look for Dongfang Yuan, Ling Yue had always been
She has a character that dares to love and hate, and it is because of her bravery that she won Dongfang Yuan's heart.
This matter has always been a pain in Ling Lan's heart. The Ling family is actually more interested in the little daughter Ling Lan. After all, she has been obedient and sensible since she was a child. She is proficient in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a famous lady from a famous family, and her
Her elder sister Ling Yue is a proud character who refuses to admit defeat. She has the neatness and refreshing spirit of a man, but also the tenderness and delicacy of a daughter. Therefore, even though Ling Lan is excellent in everything, Dongfang Yuan always only has Ling Yue in his eyes.
Because of Bai Ruoyan's words, Dongfang Yuan fell into deep thought. After a while, he smiled and nodded: "Speaking of which, if Yue'er were still here, she would also like a smart daughter-in-law like Liu Yun."
These words sounded strange to Ling Lan's ears.
She had always known that even though she had been with him for more than twenty years, she was still not as good as her sister in his heart. No matter how much she loved Dongfang Ye as her biological son, he would not let her sister's son call her mother.
Because in Dongfang Yuan's heart, there will always be only Ling Yue.
"No wonder people say that sisters are connected by heart. Seeing how kind Aunt Lan is to my daughter-in-law and the young prince, if mother were still here, she would definitely be like this." Liu Yun's eyes sparkled with sincerity, and then he winked playfully, "Look at it.
Aunt Lan is so in love with her father, so she should know that it is true that sisters are connected to each other.
No one dared to tease the Marquis like this at the dinner table, not even Dongfang Jing. However, Liuyun's words made Dongfangyuan burst into laughter and whispered to Ling Lan beside him: "Even your wife is making fun of you.
You are here."
"Master..." Linglan's face turned slightly red, and the displeasure just now swept away, and her brows and eyes were full of shyness.
At this time, even Dongfang Lin turned his head and glanced at Liuyun. It had to be said that this woman was really different. She could turn the situation around with just a few words and coax his father and Aunt Lan to do this. It was no wonder that he
Big brother likes her so much.
However, it is difficult to guess whether such intelligence is a blessing or a curse.
