Liuyun and Yuchen entered the table, and the servants began to serve the dishes. Mrs. Mu did not speak, and no one dared to start a conversation. The meal was eaten rigorously and submerged.
"Girl Yun will be fourteen this year, too." Mrs. Mu suddenly started a conversation.
"Yes, I'm already fourteen in the blink of an eye, and in a few months I'll have hair extensions." Mrs. Lin's face was filled with a motherly look, and her eyes sparkled with doting, as if the person in front of her was her biological daughter.
"It's time to get married. Otherwise, how can I be the mistress of the house when I get married and become a wife?" Saying this, Mrs. Mu looked at Mrs. Lin, "I've heard a lot in the past few days.
, it’s not easy for you to pamper Mengxian’s children so much, but don’t let people criticize our Mu family’s children, the Mu family’s children can be proud but cannot be spoiled.”
Mrs. Lin nodded, "Yes, that's what the old lady taught me."
"I heard that Yatou Yun and Yatou Xi went to the academy together, but their grades were much worse. What's going on?" Mrs. Mu's shrewd eyes were fixed on Lin. She was not satisfied with Lin, even if
Over the years, she has managed Mu Mansion in an orderly manner, but in her heart she is still not the best candidate for a mistress.
"I failed to teach the eldest lady well, please punish me." Mrs. Lin pursed her lips and took the responsibility on herself as soon as she opened her mouth, as if Liu Yun's poor grades were her fault.
Seeing what she said, Mrs. Mu's face actually improved a lot. After all, she couldn't reach out to hit the smiling person, and Mrs. Lin was so respectful, so she couldn't say anything else.
"Mom, you really can't blame Ru Yu. She has to take charge of the entire Mu Mansion and teach the children, so she really has no skills to do all the work." Mu Qingyang is also a sensible person. Although he doesn't often get involved in the affairs of the manor, he still has a lot to do with it.
He was the master of Mu Mansion, and he knew what was happening in the manor. He was also very touched that Mrs. Lin could take care of Liu Yun and Yu Chen as his own children.
"Grandma, can Lan Xi say a word?" Lan Xi, who had been sitting quietly for a long time, raised her head and smiled slightly, which warmed people's hearts.
"Say." Such a lady is naturally lovable, and Mrs. Mu also likes her well-behaved and sensible granddaughter.
Lan Xi stood up and walked to Liuyun's side, her body slightly blessed, her voice was thin and soft, quite typical of everyone, "My granddaughter went to the academy with the eldest sister. She spent the longest time with her, so naturally she is also the most affectionate towards her."
I understand. Although the eldest sister’s academic performance is mediocre, she is also highly praised by the husband. Previously, the husband praised the eldest sister for her quick thinking and being able to think of things that others cannot think of."
This was true, but Liu Yun knew in his heart that the words that his husband said that seemed to be compliments were actually ridicule. Probably only Liu Yun at that time believed Lan Xi's lies and believed that those words were
He was praising her. Therefore, when the teachers in the academy see her now, they always have contempt in their eyes. For a person who can't even hear a compliment, he is nothing but the eldest daughter.
Liu Yun's existence in the academy is very embarrassing. Those arrogant concubines disdain to be friends with her, and those concubines even draw a clear line with her. It is for this reason that Liu Yun becomes more and more popular.
I didn't like going to school to study, so I took sick leave every now and then and stayed at home.
She is a person who cannot listen to advice from others, especially those who always compare her with Lan Xi. They praise Lan Xi to the sky and demote her to the ground. However, Lan Xi always helps
He looked after her and protected her, and others felt that Lan Xi was a rare kind-hearted woman, while Liu Yun was an eldest sister who treated her concubine harshly. As time went by, Liu Yun's feelings for Lan Xi became more and more complicated.
"My granddaughter has mediocre qualifications. Grandma, please don't blame Aunt Lin." If it were normal times, Liu Yun would have left angrily if anyone brought up these embarrassing topics. She would never stand there quietly like she is now, with her head bowed.
He looked aggrieved and aggrieved.
Surprise flashed across Lan Xi's eyes quickly, and then her eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that Liu Yun was really different.
"Girl Yun, come here." Mrs. Mu waved towards Liuyun, and she walked lightly to Mrs. Mu's side.
"Grandma..." She called out calmly, but there was a touch of imperceptible sadness in her tone. It seemed that the eldest daughter of the Mu family had mediocre qualifications, so how could she hold her head up in front of the other sisters? Plus, she was a
For a child who has lost his biological mother, even if he has any grievances, he will just swallow them in his belly.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Mu patted Liuyun's hand in a comforting tone and said in a kind tone, "Grandma knows that you have been wronged. Your mother is very talented. If she had not passed away and taught you personally, you must be a proud person.
child."
In her words, she actually meant to accuse Aunt Lin of not teaching her well.
Liuyun pursed his lips, as if he didn't know how to answer his grandmother's words for a moment, and finally just nodded silently.
"Speaking of which, your Aunt Xia and your mother actually knew each other when they were young. They are both quite talented women. Although your mother has passed away, you can always ask your Aunt Xia for advice. She has a soft temperament and is
I remember that your mother was kind to her when she was alive, so I will never let you down." Speaking of this, the old lady suddenly turned her attention to Jin Han, who had been silent and lowering her head, "Girl Han, your mother
Are you feeling better?"
Jin Han had always been introverted and timid, so she just nodded and didn't dare to speak.
"You girl is really not like the children of our Mu family. How can you marry into a good family in the future with such a timid character?" Mrs. Mu shook her head, "I have read the poems you wrote. They are indeed good, and
Xi Yatou is not inferior in comparison, your mother taught you well."
"Thank you, grandma, for the compliment." Jin Han's fair cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked up at Mrs. Mu in a panic, then quickly lowered her head.
"Well, you go to your Aunt Xia's place more often and let her teach you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Don't pester your Aunt Lin all the time. After all, she has to be in charge of all the affairs in the house. It's very hard for her to be too busy to take care of you.
Ordinary things.”
"Yes, granddaughter, please keep this in mind." She nodded, swept Aunt Lin's slightly pale cheeks without leaving a trace, and laughed secretly in her heart. These were all expected things, if she hadn't sent someone to chew them in front of Aunt Bai Su.
The base of the tongue, I'm afraid it's going to be a different story now.
Mrs. Mu made the final decision, and no one else could say anything else. Mrs. Lin was silently preparing dishes for Mu Qingyang beside her, showing no emotion. Lan Xi, on the other hand, glanced at Liuyun several times as if unintentionally, always feeling that she
The eldest sister is becoming more and more strange, which makes people feel extremely uneasy over and over again.
At this moment, Liu Yun suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards Lan Xi. Their eyes met in the air. Lan Xi could see clearly that the proud look in Liu Yun's eyes was more like mocking her. She couldn't bear it.
I couldn't help clenching my fists, and it took me a long time to calm down.
It seems that this seemingly peaceful Mu Mansion is really not peaceful anymore.
