In the morning, the bright sunshine shone into Nangong Yun's yard, and through the gaps in the trees, scattered gold fell on the ground.

In the room, Nangong Yun, who was sitting in the chair, frowned slightly as he watched a woman with a snow-green bodice and high cheekbones walk in with her head held high. Bai Muxiao sat on the armchair on the right side of Nangong Yun, her face as sinking as water.

"Madam, this servant is here to deliver a message on the order of the old lady." After the woman knelt down and saluted, she stood upright in the room, with a bit of arrogance in her expression, "That's it. The old lady said that the number of children in the mansion has increased in recent years, and the girls have grown older. The courtyard of the mansion is really not enough for living. I would like to trouble the eldest lady and move in with the eldest girl. The old lady's It means, anyway, only the eldest wife and the eldest girl are left in the eldest house. You two, mother and daughter, live together, so you can have company for chatting in the future."

"This is my yard, I won't move it." Nangong Yun felt a fire in his heart, and he blatantly wanted to take away her yard! My mother-in-law went too far this time!

"Whether to move or not depends on the madam's temper. This is the old lady's wish. And please be careful when asking the madam to move..." Yao's mother warned coldly, "If it is not madam's thing, please Don't move it by mistake, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to the old lady."

Nanny Hu on the side turned blue with anger. She pointed at Yao’s mother and said, “You dog slave, I’ve blinded your dog’s eyes. When my wife married in, everything in this courtyard didn’t come from Nangong Mansion. What things have been moved here that do not belong to our wife? Even this courtyard was repaired by our Nangong Mansion, brick by brick, and the layout of the courtyard was built according to what our wife built before she left the palace." At this point, Aunt Hu looked at Yao's mother with disdain, "To put it bluntly, this new house is paid for by our Nangong Mansion. If you want our wife to move, okay, just use the money to buy it."

Mother Yao blushed and had a thick neck after being spoken to. She is an old man in the house, and she knows this.

When the Nangong Mansion asked the new house to be enlarged and built according to the courtyard in front of Nangong Yunchu's Pavilion, the old lady Zhou was unwilling. She had more than one son. If the eldest son married a daughter-in-law, would the eldest son also have a daughter-in-law? Follow the same example! That's a lot of money.

Zhou was unwilling, but in the end her thin arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she agreed that Nangong Mansion would pay for the construction.

Although Mrs. Zhou opened one eye and closed one eye and agreed, her heart was still filled with a sigh of relief, and she was still blocked until now.

Nangong Yun suppressed his anger: "You can leave now that you're done."

Mother Yao raised her chin: "Madam, please don't rush to drive me away. I haven't finished speaking yet."

Nangong Yun looked at Yao’s mother coldly.

Mama Yao said with a smile but without a smile: "The old lady also said that the family has been really difficult recently and the expenses are tight, so we need to live more frugally. But we can no longer be as lavish as before when the eldest lady was in charge of the house..."

Nangong Yun was so angry that she was shaking all over. He actually thought she was lavish when she was the housekeeper.

"What the old lady means is that the portions of each room should be reduced, and the eldest lady and the eldest girl can have meals together in the future, so let's start with three dishes and one soup, and the eldest lady and the eldest girl can't do it anyway. I am observing my filial piety and don’t have to go out for guests or anything like that, so I will temporarily skip the new clothes for this season. We will discuss it later when the government gets through the difficulties."

Nangong Yun was so angry that his liver hurt when he heard this. Let's discuss it again, how long should we discuss it? After that, maybe they won't have a share in the new clothes every season.

A sharp gleam flashed in Bai Muxiao's eyes, and she thought to herself: The Bai Mansion has really gone too far to deceive others, and actually dared to openly deduct their food and clothing expenses. Do you really think they are soft persimmons who can be manipulated at will?

Mother Hu raised her voice with both distress and anger: "In the past, the madam and the girl had five dishes and one soup. Even if we really want to reduce the portion, we can't reduce it to only three dishes and one soup for the two of us. Where is there enough? Aren’t you going to starve the madam and the girl?"

Mother Yao raised her eyelids and said: "Look what Aunt Hu said, the eldest lady and eldest girl will be hungry here. In the past, when the eldest lady and eldest lady had five vegetables and one soup, they would always be hungry. At least half of the food is left. Now, wouldn’t it be just right for the two of them to have three dishes and one soup, so as not to waste it and make it easier for others..."

"Mother Hu," Bai Muxiao interrupted her coldly, with a stern look in her eyes, "Palm mouth!"

As soon as Bai Muxiao finished speaking, Nanny Hu couldn't wait to rush to Yao's mother, and slapped her with two quick "slaps".

The crisp sound of the slap was so loud in the room that the two maids in the room were too nervous to breathe.

Mother Yao was stunned and didn't react until she felt the burning pain on her face. She touched her face in disbelief and grinned, "hissing". She looked at Bai Muxiao with resentful eyes, pointed at her with trembling fingers and said, "You..." She is just a daughter who has lost her father. She has no brothers to support her, and her mother has lost the right to manage the house. How dare you treat her old husband? The mother who is a capable steward around people takes action.

"What are you, my... Today I will teach you what it means to be superior to the younger." Bai Muxiao looked at Yao's mother with eyes as cold as cold stars, and then ordered, "Mother Hu, continue! Today I will teach this unruly slave a lesson!"

The first time Yao’s mother was beaten, she was unprepared. This time she was willing to obey, so she naturally had to hide. She also said: "Big girl, this slave is someone close to the old lady, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Muxiao said sharply: "Catch her and beat her hard."

The servants inside and outside the house were all Nangong Yun’s confidants, so they naturally agreed in unison, and the two women caught Yao’s mother on the left and right.

Mama Yao was like a fish on a chopping board, unable to move, and could only be slaughtered by others. She was strong on the outside but strong on the inside, and threatened: "How dare you..."

Mama Hu sneered, and with two "snap" sounds, she slapped Yao's mother on the face twice, causing her mouth to bleed.

Bai Muxiao looked at Yao's mother and said slowly: "Yao's mother, grandma asked you to come here just to deliver a message. She didn't want you to be a slave and bully the master. She yelled and screamed in the yard as soon as she came. Could it be that you also worked like this in your grandmother’s yard, with such no rules and regulations..."

Mother Yao's face turned blue and white.

"Grandma asked you to deliver a message, just bring it here. Who gave you the courage to comment on your master!" Bai Muxiao said sharply.

Mother Yao's body was shaking like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. Of course those words were not what the old lady meant.

A cold smile appeared on Bai Muxiao's face, and he ordered: "Stop your mouth and throw it out of the yard."

Aunt Hu responded, picked up a rag and blocked Mama Yao's mouth. Then she personally led someone to carry Mama Yao out of the house, and threw Mama Yao out of the yard like trash.

Nangong Yun was a little stunned. She always felt that her sister Xiao had become a little different since she fell into the water last time. If it was before, sister Xiao would only shed tears of grievance, unlike now... After all, the Bai family was bullied so hard! Nangong Yun was aggrieved, but also a little relieved, feeling that her daughter had finally grown up and would protect herself as a mother.

However, the Bai family is really bullying people!

Thinking of this, Nangong Yun couldn't help but said angrily: "You are really telling lies with your eyes open. It's not like I haven't taken care of the house. I don't know what is going on in the house. There is no money in the palace, but there is no money now." My dowry subsidy, food and clothing are not as good as before. It has reached the point where two people can only have three dishes and one soup."

When she said this, her eyes showed sarcasm, "The old lady deliberately sent people to make such a fuss. She obviously wanted me to provide more money. She wanted my money, but she still put on such a high airs. Needless to say, she must It was the idea given by Mrs. Yu!" Nangong Yun became angrier as he thought about it, and said bitterly, "If you want my dowry, there is no way!"

She sighed and said to Bai Muxiao with a look of pity: "Sister Xiao, with the Bai family's current situation, they won't be able to properly buy you a dowry in the future. But you don't have to worry, my mother's dowry will be yours in the future. What I want to leave to you will definitely make you get married in a glorious manner."

"Thank you, mother..." Bai Muxiao looked at Nangong Yun with emotion, "I'd better keep my mother's dowry for myself. My daughter will make money by herself when she grows up."

Nangong Yun was both amused and thoughtful as he hugged Bai Muxiao and said, "Silly boy, there is no reason for a daughter's family to earn their own dowry. Your dowry will naturally be prepared by your mother."

"But I heard that cousin Yue opened her own shop." Bai Muxiao said.

There was a bit of contempt in Nangong Yun's eyes, and he said: "How can she open a shop? The management is all prepared for her by her family. The shop is free to be managed by others, and she can only check the accounts at most. What girl from aristocratic family She doesn’t know how to keep a housekeeper and look after the accounts. She just knows a few beauty recipes.”

"But this is also amazing."

"Sister Xiao, you don't have to envy her." Nangong Yun said lovingly, "If it were you, you would definitely do better than her."

"That's natural." Bai Muxiao smiled confidently, "With my ability, of course I will do my best."

"Mom believes in you, but now that you are in your filial piety period, the house is watching you uneasily. Otherwise, my mother will give you two shops to compare with your cousin Yue." As he spoke, Nangong Yun sighed. In one breath, "But now your grandmother and your second aunt are staring at my dowry, and I don't know what dirty tricks they will use to force us mother and daughter."

Bai Muxiao hurriedly comforted: "When soldiers come to block it, when water comes and the soil comes, there will always be a way. Don't worry, mother, I will never let anyone bully you." After a pause, she added, "But Mom, we are all alone in this White House, so it’s best to find a solution once and for all.”

Nangong Yun frowned and thought deeply: "Sister Xiao, you are right, but..." She couldn't help but look bitter. Although her natal family is more noble than the Bai family, she can't rely on her natal family for everything. Besides, the distant water cannot relieve the close fire.

"My daughter thinks that the best way is to move out of the White House."

Nangong Yun looked at her in shock, quickly shook his head and said: "Sister Xiao, this method sounds good, but if you move away from the Bai Mansion like this, it will be very detrimental to you. You have lost your father. If you leave the White House again, it will be difficult for you to get married." Her sister Xiao is so excellent, how could she just watch her daughter's marriage be delayed because of this!

"But mother, based on the current situation of the Bai family, do you think your daughter will find a good family after she becomes a filial piety?" Bai Muxiao raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, "They are here for mother's dowry. If you can’t take it from your mother, you will definitely take it from your daughter.”

Nangong Yun's eyes darkened, and he understood the meaning of Bai Muxiao's words. Although the matchmaker was ordered by her parents, Mrs. Zhou does not have any power over her daughter's marriage. If Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Yu choose a house for their daughter at will, and the two families join forces, then they will not be able to control everything about their daughter. In their hands!

Thinking of this, Nangong Yun was frightened for a while. He didn't know whether he was comforting her or himself, and said: "Sister Xiao, you are still in the period of filial piety, and they can't touch you for a while. Your Mom will take your marriage seriously, and as soon as the filial piety period is over, Mom will find a good marriage for you."

Mom is still a little too naive. Bai Muxiao shook her head secretly in her heart and pointed out directly: "No matter how good the marriage is, they have many ways to mess it up, and the result is still the same."

Nangong Yun fell silent. Bai Muxiao's concerns were right. It was not easy to make a good relationship, but there were many ways to destroy a relationship.

Seeing that Nangong Yun was thoughtful, Bai Muxiao said in a deep voice: "So the best way now is to leave the Bai Mansion. Mom, given our current situation, how can we separate the family and live alone?"

Nangong Yun shook his head: "Your father has passed away, and it is impossible to separate the family. Unless..." She hesitated for a moment, but still said it, "Unless Dagui returns to Nangong Mansion, but... ”

Before I finished speaking, I heard Pomegranate’s announcement from outside: “Madam, girl, the second lady is here.”

What are you doing here? Nangong Yun frowned and said, "Please come in, Madam Second."

After a while, the second lady of the Bai Mansion, Mrs. Yu, walked in with a smile.

After the three people had seen each other, Mrs. Yu sat on the mahogany armchair and said to Nangong Yun, "I am here today and I have something to talk to my sister-in-law."

Nangong Yun took a sip of tea, but said nothing.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Mrs. Yu's face, and she said straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, Sister Xiao seems to be getting older now, so it's time to kiss her. I have a good family here, it's my natal family. My nephew, Brother Ming, I think I will get married directly after Sister Xiao’s filial piety.”

Nangong Yun couldn't believe her ears. Just now, Sister Xiao said that the Yu family might interfere with her marriage. She was still a little skeptical. She didn't expect that this bitch, the Yu family, was really so shameless. She actually dared to show her filial piety. Looking forward to a kiss!

"I disagree." Nangong Yun glared at Yu. Don't think she doesn't know that Yu Ming, Yu Ming's nephew, has been engaged in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling at a young age. He has several wives in the house. Yu Ming actually has the nerve to introduce such a person to his sister Xiao.

Mrs. Yu covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, and said, "This is not your fault, sister-in-law. I have already reported it to my mother. My mother has already nodded in agreement, and we will wait for Sister Xiao to pay her filial piety." At this point, the mockery in her eyes became even stronger, "Mother said that she will make the final decision on Sister Xiao's marriage, and no one can care about it. Even people from the Nangong Mansion will have nothing to say when she marries her own granddaughter."

Nangong Yun was furious when he heard this, and his whole body was shaking slightly with anger.

With a "pop", there was a crisp sound in the room. The cup in Bai Muxiao's hand hit Mrs. Yu right in front of her. The tea splashed, which shocked Mrs. Yu.

"Sister Xiao, you are so rude to your elders!" Mrs. Yu was so angry that she slapped the table and stood up, but Bai Muxiao said expressionlessly: "Second aunt, my hand slipped and it's all my fault. ."

Ms. Yu scolded her with a cold eyebrow: "Sister Xiao, you must learn to behave yourself. If you marry into the Yu family in the future..."

"Second Aunt intervened in the marriage of the niece next door to her, so she learned the rules well." Bai Muxiao looked at Yu with a half-smile, "Second Aunt is not afraid of spreading the word and ruining the reputation of several sisters." Naturally, the younger sisters include Bai Muyan, the daughter of the Yu family.

Ms. Yu stared at Bai Muxiao angrily and said angrily: "As a junior, you dare to criticize your elders at will. Who taught you the rules?"

Bai Muxiao ignored Mrs. Yu at all, turned to Nangong Yun and said: "Mom, the second aunt is the mistress of the Bai Mansion, but she is so unruly. You are still here, and you dare to do whatever you want. Take charge of my marriage. If others find out about this, they will think that all the people in the White House are like this. How can they hold their heads high when they go out to be guests in the future?"

Ms. Yu was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged.

"She doesn't care about Sister Yan's reputation, but we have to care about our own reputation." Bai Muxiao shook Nangong Yun's hand heavily, "Mom, we can't stay in the Bai Mansion any longer. My daughter will go home with you." The corners of Bai Muxiao's mouth were slightly raised at an angle that Yu could not see. Maybe this time she would dare to be grateful to her as her second aunt!

Homecoming! ?

Ms. Yu was dumbfounded for a moment. She couldn't believe her ears. Bai Muxiao actually said that she wanted Nangong Yun to return? Can this Dagui be said casually?

Nangong Yun hesitated again, and finally took a deep breath and said decisively: "Sister Xiao, I listen to you." Then he ordered Aunt Hu, "Aunt Hu, please go to Nangong Mansion. Report this to my mother!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Aunt Hu pushed Mrs. Yu away unceremoniously and walked out of the courtyard. Mrs. Yu stumbled and fell into an armchair, a little dazed.

Nanny Hu hurried to Nangong Mansion in a carriage. As soon as she arrived at Rongan Hall, she knelt down on the cold ground with a plop, told the story of what happened today, and then wiped her tears while saying : "Old madam, this White House has gone too far! If this continues, the madam and the girl may be bullied to death by them!"

The Su family almost jumped up when she heard this. The Bai family is really going too far!

The last time I adopted a child for my uncle, I didn’t notify the Nangong Mansion, and Sister Xiao was pushed into the water for no reason; this time, it was even more outrageous. Not only did she want to deduct the food and clothing expenses of my daughter and Sister Xiao, she even wanted to My sister married such a scumbag! It's just that I'm back...

Even the Su family hesitated for a moment when she thought of the grand return. The grand return of the daughter of Nangong Mansion was not a glorious thing after all, if she couldn't explain it! But how could she just watch and let the White House treat her daughter and granddaughter like this?

That’s all!

Ms. Su took a deep breath and finally ordered: "Mother Wang, come with me to the Bai Mansion." Then she said, "Dong'er, go and call the Second Madam, the Third Madam and the Fourth Madam. Come."

"Yes, old lady!" Dong'er hurriedly went down to send a message to several ladies, while Grandma Wang went to arrange the carriage for the trip.

"I would like to thank the old lady on behalf of the lady and the girl!" Aunt Hu kowtowed gratefully. She was originally afraid that the Su family would oppose Nangong Yun's return, but she didn't expect that the Su family would make a decision so quickly.

Ms. Su changed into an azure-colored woven silver silk peony tunic, a ginger-yellow heddle skirt, and a jade hairpin stuck into her neatly combed bun. After hearing the news, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin came to see her. With Huang's help, he got on the carriage.

The two carriages drove all the way into the Bai Mansion, and were then welcomed to Mrs. Bai's courtyard.

At this time, Nangong Yun, Bai Muxiao and the Yu family had already made trouble with the Zhou family and were still in a stalemate. Mrs. Zhou really resented Mrs. Yu in her heart. It didn't mean that the marriage was definitely going to be a success, but why did it happen that Nangong Yun was going to get married now?

As soon as Mrs. Su appeared, Nangong Yun burst into tears and knelt down in front of Mrs. Su: "Mother, my daughter is unfilial, why bother you to bother me so much!" Bai Muxiao also knelt down beside Nangong Yun respectfully and said: "Grandma, Xiao'er wishes you well." Then he greeted Mrs. Lin, Mr. Huang and Mr. Gu politely and thoughtfully.

Seeing the filial piety of the three Su family members, Mrs. Zhou's eyes flickered, and she took the opportunity to say to Mrs. Su: "Madam, please advise Yun'er quickly, don't act out of emotion!" What kind of grand return is this? Isn’t this just a laughing stock?

Mr. Su didn't speak for a while, which made Ms. Yu become arrogant again. She thought: This Nangong Mansion has passed down poems and etiquette to the family, how could it be possible for Nangong Mansion to accept a daughter who has returned home! After all, the sister-in-law just wants to scare herself!

So, Mrs. Yu deliberately advised: "Yes, sister-in-law, just listen to mother. Even if you are not satisfied with the marriage I told Sister Xiao, you can discuss it later..."

"Second Aunt, you are Xiao'er's elder. Xiaoer shouldn't have spoken rudely," Bai Muxiao looked indignant. "Xiao'er is still honoring her father's filial piety, but Second Aunt, you talk so much about marriage matters, what do you care about?" Where is my late father!"

Ms. Su looked at Bai Muxiao thoughtfully, and finally asked slowly: "Yun'er, have you thought about it?"

As soon as Su said these words, all eyes were focused on her, and Zhou and Yu's hearts dropped even more. Could it be that Su actually agreed to Nangong Yun's return! Once Nangong Yun returns home, he will have to bring back all the dowry he brought with him when he married to the Bai Mansion... Thinking of the large amount of money that has already been in their hands, the Zhou family and the Yu family feel heartbroken.

No! I must not let this money fly away like this! Mrs. Yu was cruel and said with a slight threat: "Sister-in-law, you'd better think more clearly! If you insist on returning home, my mother and I will have to be evil people to stop you, but Sister Xiao is a descendant of our Bai family. ..." The implication is that Nangong Yun can leave, but Bai Muxiao must stay!

Nangong Yun's face suddenly turned pale. Her daughter was a piece of her heart. How could she leave her daughter in the wolf's den of the Bai family!

Ms. Su looked back and forth between Nangong Yun and Bai Muxiao, closed her eyes, seemed to have made some kind of decision, and said decisively: "Sister Xiao must follow Yun'er..."

Mr. Yu was about to say something, but she was so frightened by Ms. Su that she swallowed her words back.

Mrs. Su continued: "Half of Yun'er's dowry will be left in the White Mansion!" Even Mrs. Huang was stunned when she heard this sentence. When Nangong Yun married Shili Hongzhu, how much would this half of the dowry be? Silver! Huang looked at Nangong Yun strangely, not knowing whether to feel sad for her or to take pleasure in her misfortune.

"Mother!" Nangong Yun exclaimed, really not wanting to take advantage of the Bai family, but Bai Muxiao immediately pulled Nangong Yun's sleeves, thinking: You can get rid of this leech of the Bai family with half the dowry, it's too much It’s worth it! Isn't it just some money? The money can be earned later!

Both Zhou and Yu were ecstatic. They only thought that they could get half of Nangong Yun’s dowry instead of raising Bai Muxiao, a loser. This deal was really a bargain!

The two sides hit it off immediately!

Now that the two families have broken up and the dispute has reached this point, Nangong Yun and Bai Muxiao don't want to stay in the Bai Mansion for a day. They immediately ordered people to pack their things, planning to settle the dowry on the spot in front of the two old ladies. , signed and stamped to avoid further disputes in the future.

The two parties agreed to go to the government for registration the next day. On the same day, Nangong Yun and Bai Muxiao took all their belongings and returned to Nangong Mansion with Su and others. The news of the return of their aunt and cousin almost came in a snap. The news spread throughout the whole house and caused ripples in the house.

As soon as he returned home, Mrs. Lin immediately sent people to clean up the courtyard in front of Nangong Yun before leaving the pavilion - Yuegui Courtyard.

Although Yueguiyuan has been cleaned regularly, if it is really going to be occupied, it still needs to be cleaned carefully. After more than an hour, the main room and bedrooms were finally tidied up first.

After that, Aunt Hu and several servants began to pack up the things Nangong Yun brought and put them into storage one by one.

Nangong Yun, on the other hand, pulled Bai Muxiao and sighed in the room, "I didn't expect that your second aunt would be so prosperous now. Not only did she become the wife of the house, but her daughter also became the princess." Although Nangong Yun had already known through the informant in Nangong Mansion that his second sister-in-law was now the head of the family when he was in the White Mansion, it was only when he arrived at Nangong Mansion that he realized that everything was really different from the past.

"When it comes to this matter, my aunt is a little too impatient, and her vision is really shallow." Bai Muxiao shook her head, feeling that Zhao was really eager for quick success and short-sighted. Mrs. Zhao was originally the eldest daughter-in-law and the mistress of the family, but she ended up like this because of a marriage. According to his own opinion, Liu Qingyun is not without a future. Once Liu Qingyun succeeds in spring, he may not be able to "go straight to Qingyun Road and be proud of his beautiful clothes"!

Nangong Yun thought of something, and felt a little worried: "Sister Xiao, my relationship with your second aunt is not good. In addition, when brother Xin fell into the water... I don't know if she will secretly treat her... My mother and daughter are in trouble."

"Mom, please relax now." Bai Muxiao smiled and comforted, "According to my observation, the second aunt is not the kind of person who will do tricks behind her back. When it comes to dealing with others, the second aunt is the one who wants to She is more upright, gentle and quiet than my eldest aunt." People like Lin are so easy to deal with that they don't hit the smiling person!

Nangong Yun thought for a while and said: "What you said makes sense. Speaking of people, your second aunt is much more loyal than your first aunt."

"It's right for me to think so. After we leave the den of tigers and wolves in the Bai Mansion, our lives will definitely get better and better." Bai Muxiao said again, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be shining, and she was full of energy.

"Hey, it's a pity that half of my dowry was in vain, and I got a bargain from those white-eyed wolves." Nangong Yun was still angry when he thought that he was missing half of his dowry.

"Don't feel sorry for me, mother. Most of the things you gave me are dead things, and at most they can only be sold for money." Bai Muxiao sneered, "Those idiots in the Bai Mansion who don't know how to run a business, what are you giving me? No matter how good they are, they can't keep it." If someone had a vision and knew how to manage, they wouldn't be staring at Nangong Yun's dowry like a black eye.

Hearing what Bai Muxiao said, Nangong Yun also believed it and relaxed his brows. Their lives can always get better and better.

"Mom, anyway, I have returned home with you now. According to the rules, I will soon give up my filial piety. Why don't you let me help you run the shop and help you earn back half of the dowry." Bai Mu Xiao brought up old things again and looked at Nangong Yun expectantly. This is actually one of the reasons why she supports Nangong Yun's return. She has been staying at the gate of the White House without leaving the gate, how can she earn a world of her own!

Nangong Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Well, if you want, my mother will give you a shop and try it out first."

Bai Muxiao beamed with joy when she heard this: "Thank you, mother. Don't worry, mother, I will definitely do better than my third cousin. I won't let you down." Her eyes flashed with ambition.

While the mother and daughter were talking, the maid suddenly came to report that Grandma Zhang from Rong'an Hall had arrived. Although Aunt Zhang was not as respected by the Su family as Aunt Wang, she was still an old man close to the Su family. Naturally, Nangong Yun ordered her servants to invite her into the house immediately.

Nama Zhang was blessed and said with a smile: "Auntie, cousin, the old lady invites you to go to Rong'an Hall."

Seeing that Grandma Zhang couldn't hide the joy between her brows and eyes, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was even more polite, Bai Muxiao felt a move in her heart and asked, "Grandma Wang, is there something happy happening in the house?"

"It is indeed a happy event, and it is a double happiness." Grandma Zhang's smile deepened, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more obvious. "I just got the good news. The eldest young master won the first prize, and the second young master also ranked fifth in the childbirth examination. ”

Bai Muxiao's eyes darkened, and she thought to herself: Didn't mother say that cousin Xin broke his head and was a fool? How come you passed the childbirth examination?

Bai Muxiao was just thinking about it, but Nangong Yun blurted out directly: "Brother Xin? Isn't Brother Xin a fool?" Hearing this, Bai Muxiao felt helpless. After all, her mother was still too straightforward. , although the mother is the eldest daughter of Nangong Mansion, she is a widowed person now, so she should be cautious in everything.

Nanny Zhang didn't seem to notice Nangong Yun's gaffe at all, and smiled nonchalantly: "The second young master just woke up late, and he is getting better and better now. Even the emperor praised him and gave him a lot of gifts today. Things, it is said that there are also a few unique calligraphy and paintings!" Even the servants in the mansion benefited from this.

Nanny Zhang was filled with emotion. In the past two years, the second young master has indeed become more and more clever. He has even learned the six arts of a gentleman. The maid from Qianyunyuan said that she has recently begun to play in the second master’s house. I started reading the Four Books and Five Classics under the guidance. It seems that the second lady and the second young master are both blessed people!

The more Nangong Yun listened, the more surprised he became. Even the emperor knew about Nangong Xin, a fool? Does the sun rise from the west? She originally didn't care about this stupid nephew, so even if she had an informant in this house, she had no idea that Nangong Xin had already had this talent.

"Mother Zhang, this..."

Nangong Yun wanted to ask again, but Bai Muxiao quickly pulled her mother's sleeve, and then took her words naturally: "Mother Zhang, I really bother you to come here to deliver the message. My mother and I will just follow You go."

When Nangong Yunmu's daughter arrived at Rong'an Hall, most of the people in the four rooms of Nangong Mansion gathered in the East Room. The weather in February was suddenly warm and cold, and there was still a warm charcoal fire burning in the East Room. As soon as I entered the house, I just felt warm and cozy.

At first glance, everyone is beaming and proud. Nangong Cheng couldn't sit still, she couldn't wait to see her brother, but it was a pity that one of the protagonists today, Nangong Sheng, was still in the Imperial College.

"Yun'er, Sister Xiao, you are here!" As soon as Mrs. Su saw Nangong Yunmu and her daughter, she hurriedly called them to her side and told them the good news again. Su Shi was almost grinning from ear to ear, and she still wonders if she heard it wrong. It was an expected surprise for the eldest grandson to know Yuan, but it was unexpected for the second grandson to get fifth place in the child examination...

On this day, both grandsons won, it was indeed a double happiness!

"Congratulations to cousin Xin and congratulations to second aunt!" Bai Muxiao smiled and congratulated. At this moment, Bai Muxiao had quickly assessed the situation and realized that today was different from the past. Now that the second wife was prospering, she had to make her mother pay attention to her attitude towards the second wife in the future.

"Same joy, same joy!" Mrs. Lin was so happy. She held Nangong Xin's hand with mixed emotions, almost doubting that this was a sweet dream. These days, she did know that her son was gradually getting better. Just that was enough to make Mrs. Lin very happy... She didn't expect that her son could still be a child!

Although Tong Sheng is not yet a serious scholar, he is already the first step in the imperial examination. From now on, Nangong Xin will be qualified to take the scholar examination, and even go one step further... Who will dare to say that her son is a fool in the future!

Thinking of this, Lin's eyes filled with crystal tears. Nangong Yue on the side quickly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her mother's eyes.

As for Huang and Nangong Lin from the third room, they were already dumbfounded. Nangong Xin, a fool, actually got the hit, not the fifth from the bottom, but the fifth from the top?

The mother and daughter opened their mouths wide and did not close them for a long time. Seeing the smiling faces of the three Lins, they felt a little sour in their hearts.

No one cared about the little thoughts of mother and daughter Huang at the moment. After Su recovered, she hurriedly said to Grandma Wang: "Okay, okay, this is a happy event, everyone will be rewarded today!"

With a word from the old lady, everyone in the mansion has an extra silver nugget today.

Ms. Lin also rewarded the mother-in-law who came to announce the good news with a first-class red seal. The mother-in-law was overjoyed and thanked her, and then left.

For a while, the room was very lively, and even the maids and grandmothers in Rongan Hall congratulated Mrs. Lin.

Looking at the three people of the Lin family holding the moon in front of the stars, Huang's heart was filled with sourness. However, thinking of the fact that the Lin family was now the head of the family, she did not dare to offend her, so she could only say with a smile: "Congratulations to my second sister-in-law for finally guarding the throne." When the clouds clear and the moon shines brightly, I wonder if Brother Xin will be able to earn a life for you in the future."

Lin's face was full of joy: "We are happy together. When Brother Hao grows up in the future, he will also be able to earn a life for his three younger siblings."

Ms. Huang heard this very well. Looking at her clever and lively son, M.S. Huang thought to herself: That's right. Even a fool like Nangong Xin can be a child. There is no reason why her brother Hao can't be a child. . In the future, her brother Hao will definitely become a Jinshi and become a first-class official. Thinking of this, Mrs. Huang looked at her son with a bit of expectation, wondering in her heart how she could train her son to become a new generation of child prodigy so that she could be proud of herself.

Nangong Hao couldn't help but shudder, not knowing that his hellish study career was about to begin.

Nangong Lin waited and waited, and seeing that Mrs. Su never mentioned the topic she was most concerned about, she finally couldn't help but said: "Grandma, I heard that the Princess Yuncheng's Mansion sent a message to the mansion today?" Nangong Lin Lin had heard rumors that this year's feast might be moved forward, but she didn't expect it to be true.

When Nangong Yun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Mrs. Su glanced at Nangong Lin indifferently, nodded and said: "Yes, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has sent two invitations for the Fang Feast to the mansion. This year's Fang Feast has been moved forward to the fifth day of May, and in order to control the number of people, , it is stipulated that one post is for two people, so four people in the mansion can participate in the Fang Feast this year."

These four places are a bit tight.

When Nangong Lin was about to ask if she could go, she heard Nangong Yun say: "Mother, Sister Xiao should be discharged by March 14th. Then let her go to see the world together. It's a pity that this child has been living in poverty in the Bai Mansion with me for so long." At this time, Nangong Yun felt a little lucky in her heart. Maybe her daughter's idea was right, and returning to the Nangong Mansion was a right decision. If she still stays in the Bai Mansion now, Mansion, I'm afraid my daughter will never receive a wedding invitation in her lifetime. After all, Nangong Mansion is Nangong Mansion, and these Fangyan invitations are only worth a thousand gold, so Nangong Mansion got two of them in one fell swoop.

Su Shi looked at Bai Muxiao, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and finally nodded.

Nangong Lin’s face turned earthy immediately. There are only four places in total. Nangong Sheng, who is about to get married, will definitely not go. Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue must go. If the third place is given to Bai Muxiao, then there will only be one place left.

Nangong Lin looked at Nangong Xin nervously. If Nangong Xin had to go, she would definitely be squeezed out. In the past, my grandmother would definitely not have asked this second brother to go, but now...

At this moment, she heard Nangong Yuezheng ask: "Brother, do you want to go to the Fangyan Party with me? The Second Young Master Yuan and the Third Young Master Fu should also go."

Nangong Yue originally thought that Nangong Xin would nod enthusiastically, but who knew that he actually shook his head without hesitation and said: "No, I have made appointments with Liu Niang on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth of every month. We learned riding and shooting together in her family." Although the feast may be fun, my father said that a man must keep his promise, and more importantly, he must persevere and not be playful and slack off.

Nangong Lin felt happy and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone dispersed, only Lin was left in Rongan Hall by Su.

"It's rare that Brother Xin is going to be successful. I feel relieved." Ms. Su said to Ms. Lin in a rare and pleasant manner, "Today is a double happiness. Pick a day and celebrate."

Mrs. Lin hurriedly smiled and agreed: "Yes, mother." She originally thought that the second family and her family would choose a day to celebrate. Since Mrs. Su planned to celebrate together, Mrs. Lin had no objection. It would be fine if everyone got together. More lively.

The good news that Nangong Shengzhong knew Yuan and Nangong Xin had won the fifth place among children was spread throughout the house in less than an hour.

All kinds of gifts flew to Qianyunyuan. After Nangong Qin came back from the court, he sent a piece of fine pine smoke ink to Nangong Xin; Nangong Zhi and Nangong Cheng each sent a writing brush and two knives. Excellent rice paper; Lian Liu Qingyun came personally and gave Nangong Xin his old books, wishing him the next high school entrance examination.

Lin flipped through it and found that it actually wrote a lot about Liu Qingyun’s reading experience at that time, and was very moved.

Nangong Mu, who returned early after getting the news, looked at Nangong Xin with relief, his eyes wet.

His son was smart and clever when he was young, but he suddenly encountered a disaster and became an idiot. He thought he would be like this for the rest of his life. Who would have thought that as he grew older, a miracle happened, and Brother Xin's mind gradually opened up, and he is still like this now. Hit by a child...

A man won’t shed tears easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad point yet...

Nangong Mu lowered his head slightly and gently wiped his tears with his sleeves. After a moment, he raised his eyes and said: "Ruoyan, it's time for Brother Xin to move to the outer courtyard..."

Mrs. Lin's expression froze at first, and then she responded softly: "My husband is right." Brother Xin is already thirteen years old. According to his age, he should have moved to the outer courtyard long ago. If he hadn't had the mental skills of a five-year-old How could Mrs. Su turn a blind eye and let him live in the inner courtyard? Things are different now. Brother Xin is already a child. If he lives in the inner courtyard, he will be criticized by others.

Nangong Mu sighed lightly and took Lin into his arms.

Although my wife feels reluctant to part with him now, this is still a happy event. With his son having a future, life will only get better and better. In the future, even his mother, Su, should not be able to embarrass his wife on the grounds of having an heir.

Note: According to ancient filial piety rituals, the mother's return will not affect the filial piety period of her children. But this is an imaginary era. In this imaginary era, when the mother returns home, the filial piety period for the children only needs to be 16 months. There is no need to go into the differences with the ancient rituals.
