MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 825 domestic affairs

  Mu Mansion Ancestral Hall.

  When Mu Yan and Huo Xi arrived, Mu Jun, Mu Zhong and others had already arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

   "Second brother, second sister-in-law."

   "Fourth brother, fourth brother and sister, fifth brother and fifth brother, seventh brother and eighth brother."

   During the greeting, the rest of the Mu family's juniors also arrived one after another. Mu Yan's eight cousins, except Mu Wang who stayed in Beijing, are all here. Not long after, the Muang and Duan couples of the third room also arrived.

   "I thought you couldn't come back for the New Year." Mu Ang smiled and patted Mu Yan's shoulder.

   "The schedule is a bit tight. I haven't visited many places yet. I have to make arrangements after the next year."

   While talking, Duke Qian also arrived.

  Glanced at Mu Yan, "Did you come back yesterday afternoon? Did the journey go well?"

  Mu Yan looked respectful, but his words were indifferent: "Successful."

Probably used to him being so reticent, Duke Qian didn't care. He walked into the ancestral hall and said to Mu Yan beside him: "I have sent someone to invite you... mother, but she doesn't want to." Follow me back to the house."

   "My nephew knows about it, and Xi'er sent someone to invite her a few days ago, and my mother said I'll come back later."

  Gong Qian hummed, "Your mother is not only the elder of your first wife, she is also the wife of Yipinhou who bears the imperial order. In the afternoon, you and your wife will go out of the city to meet you."

"yes."

  Huo Xi also responded when he heard it from behind. His eyes swept to the two sides, the people who came to the ancestral hall today to worship, all the concubines and concubines came, except for the males and grandchildren, they were the wives of each house. Aunt Jun and other concubines are not qualified to be present, and even if the second wife's wife is not present, she is not qualified to represent.

  It was the concubine of the old Hou Ye, and Aunt Fang, the biological mother of the third master Mu Ang, also did not come.

   "Let's begin." Following Qian Guogong's order, the sacrifice began.

  Huo Xi made a mistake by taking a step behind Duan Shi, following her movements and bowing down...

   An hour later, the tedious ceremony ended, and each room went back to each courtyard.

   After lunch and a short rest, the husband and wife went outside the city to meet Mrs. Yu.

  Since the first Marquis left, Mrs. Yu has been staying in Shuixin Nunnery to practice meditation. Every year, she returns to the mansion on New Year’s Eve, and returns to the nunnery after lunch the next day.

   "Mother didn't go back to her natal home in the second year of junior high school?"

   "The grandparents are gone."

  Huo Xi was silent. I have seen and heard a lot over the years, and I know that it is not easy for women in the world. When you get married, you will be a guest when you return to your natal family. If your parents are away, you will not even be a guest. If the husband dies without a child, it is difficult to even survive in the husband's house.

   "I know why many women desperately want to have a son."

   Mu Yan looked at her, held her hand in his palm and squeezed it gently. You and me, I will not leave you alone in the world.

   Not long after, Yu's carriage gradually moved from far to near.

  The couple got out of the car, "Mother."

  The old lady in the car lifted the curtain, and Yu showed a smiling face: "It's been a long time. It's cold, why bother to meet me. It's not that I don't know the way."

   "This is the filial piety that my husband and wife should do. I should have picked you up in the nunnery."

   "Why go all the way to pick me up. It's freezing again and again. I told you not to let you go. If you want me to say, just wait in the mansion, you don't even need to go out of the city, you have to come."

  Shi Yu glanced at the couple and nodded secretly, "Go back. We'll talk again in the mansion."

"yes."

  Back to the mansion, Huo Xi had ordered the house to be tidied up a few days ago. As soon as she arrived, braziers were lit in every corner of the house, making it warm. Yu sat on the chair covered with a thick blanket with a smile, and sighed comfortably: "The mansion is much warmer than the mountain."

  Huo Xi then said: "Then why don't mother stay in the mansion, and let my husband and I perform our filial piety. I have been away for these years, and I feel ashamed for not being filial in front of my mother."

  Yu waved his hand: "I don't need people to serve me. What's more, Yan'er has often sent people to greet me these years, sending this to that. I haven't done my filial piety."

   "The mother stays in the mansion until the weather is warmer before leaving."

   "No, I'll go back after lunch with you tomorrow. It's still quiet on the mountain."

  Huo Xi wanted to persuade her again, but Mu Yan saluted, "Yes, my son will send my mother back tomorrow."

  Yu looked at Huo Xi and said with a smile: "You don't have to feel guilty, I've been used to living on the mountain all these years, and I can sleep peacefully listening to the morning bell and evening drum every day."

  Huo Xi had no choice but to let it go. After chatting with her for a few words, seeing that she was really not very interested in the life at the foot of the mountain, nor in the anecdotes of strange people in the mansion and the market, and many gossips, so I didn't continue to talk about it.

   Not long after, Mrs. Yu drove them out, and the husband and wife wandered around the mansion.

  Huo Xi was a little emotional, "It is said that one day on the mountain is a thousand years on the earth. I don't know the flow of the world on the mountain, I just close my heart, live my own life with no desires, and ignore everything in the world. I will definitely not be able to live like this."

   Turning to look at him: "What about you, would you like to live a short life like fireworks, or live a life of pure heart and asceticism?"

  Mu Yan hugged her, looked at the view of the mansion in front of her, and shook her head: "I don't want it. I just want to live a life of love and love with you for the rest of my life." There is her in this life, as long as there is her, no matter what.

  The servants in the mansion secretly watched the prince and his wife.

  Since the prince and his wife entered the mansion, they feel that even breathing is sweet. There are quite a few masters in the house, and I have never found any master and wife, young master and wife, such as a married couple. Holding hands in front of the servants.

   It made the young and unmarried servants want to find someone to warm their beds.

  At sunset and dusk, candles were lit everywhere in the mansion. The masters and masters of all houses gathered in the flower hall of the central courtyard, and it is a tradition in the Mu Mansion to have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.

  Except for the fourth house in the capital, this year is the most gathering of the three housemen in the Mu residence.

  There are always twenty-eight masters and masters in the three-room house, who sit at four tables. The Sanfang family is the most prosperous. Although there are only two grandchildren, including the aunt and others, the Sanfang has a total of sixteen masters and sons.

   Waiting for Mu Zuo Muyou of the third house to get married, coupled with the lifetime of the grandchildren, the population of the third house will be even more prosperous.

  Foods like running water are served in turn, directly hitting people's taste buds. Huo Xi didn't feel hungry at first, but now he looks hungry.

   "Is it more lively than the Mu Mansion in the capital?" Aunt Jun suddenly looked at Huo Xi and said with a smile.

Aunt Jun has always been in charge of the banquet in the mansion, and Aunt Jun has always arranged banquets like this on New Year's Eve with Wu Shi. Even if Mrs. Yu returned to the mansion today, even if the eldest son and his wife are in the mansion this year, Aunt Jun would not think about it. Don't ask for their opinion.

   She is used to being the master.

Huo Xi smiled, "Yeah, it's still lively here. There are only a few of us in the capital, and we can just make up a table. Compared with this place, it looks very deserted. But fortunately, the sixth young master can be funny. He was joking aside, and Mrs. Tai and each of us were very happy, and we could eat an extra bowl of rice."

  Jun Shi paused for a moment before realizing that she still has a son in the capital. Live under the nose of this kid Mu Yan.
