MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 995 It’s useless if you can’t protect it

Mu Zhuolan stood at the door of the study, listening to the conversation inside, pursing the corners of his mouth and wondering what he was thinking, until his father came out,

“Sister Lan, are you looking for your grandfather?”

"Well, I'm here to see my grandfather." Mu Zhuolan nodded, and before anyone could go in to announce, his grandfather's voice rang out.

 “Sister Lan is here, come in.”

"Grandpa is well," Mu Zhuolan said, looking at his grandfather's unhappy expression and giving him a worried look.

The old prime minister looked at his granddaughter and sighed silently. This granddaughter is a clever girl, even better than several brothers in the family, but it is a pity that she is a girl.

You can also directly bypass the eldest son, take over the family, and become the head of the Mu family.

“Yes, I’ll go get ready now.” The steward glanced at Mu Zhuolan and admired this girl very much for allowing the master to open a private treasury to replenish makeup. She was the first one.

The Prime Minister looked at the granddaughter in front of him and felt regretful again. After a while, he spoke,

"It's a fact that my grandfather is old. It's normal for some people to peek at the position of prime minister. It's human nature for people to pursue profit. Unfortunately, the two generations of sons and sons of our Mu family are mediocre in qualifications and not outstanding. Even if my grandfather has a plan, they can't keep it. .”

 After having been miserable for more than a day, the old prime minister was a little exhausted. At this time, he felt very relieved when he heard his granddaughter's promise.

“Thank you to my grandfather for loving my granddaughter. My mother has prepared enough for me. She was afraid that I would be wronged, so she gave me most of the dowry.”

The Prime Minister looked at the granddaughter in front of him and regretted again. Sister Ruolan was a boy, and if the Mu family left her in her hands, she would definitely be able to do something good.

 The mutual checks and balances between the party and the government are measures to stabilize the court. This is the king's policy and is understandable.

 “My mother helps me take care of it, so it’s almost done.”

My uncle didn't want to get into trouble, so he stopped his aunt, but now he has caused a lot of trouble for his grandfather.

“My granddaughter is also making a bold guess. She always feels that these messages are directed at our Mu family.”

Mu Zhuolan looked at her grandfather's regretful expression. She had known for a long time that the men in the family were not up to par, and her grandfather alone would only succeed in making wedding dresses for others.

"You are the granddaughter of the Mu family, so I cannot wrong you." The old prime minister waved his hand, "It's getting late, let's go down."

 Think about the brothers at home. Each one has little ability, and one spends money more lavishly than the other.

 In fact, the Mu family has nothing to fear from the officials. He is already old, his son is mediocre, and his grandson’s generation has not found any outstanding ones yet, which is equivalent to a disconnection of two generations. This situation is a sign of family decline.

“Actually, the talents recommended by my grandfather in the Wei and Jin Dynasties are outstanding in learning and are rare talents. However, the officials are jealous of our Mu family, so they reject them again and again.”

 The decline of the family is irreversible.

"Thank you for the compliment, grandfather. In fact, my father has learned a lot from his grandfather over the years, and he should have no problem keeping his ancestral heritage. My granddaughter is a descendant of the Mu family, and her blood is flowing through her body. Even if she gets married, she will not stand by and watch. Within the scope of her ability, My granddaughter will do her best to protect the Mu family."

"My granddaughter couldn't help her grandfather, and she felt very guilty. She had just closed her door at home to reflect on her past, and she didn't expect that new rumors would pop up on the street, implicating so many people. The granddaughter wondered if someone was deliberately manipulating and targeting her grandfather. ?”

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty four. One hundred and forty six. Seventy-one

Looking at his grandfather’s old face, Mu Zhuolan pursed his lips and said,

"Grandfather is a rare talent that the Mu family can only encounter in a century. You have led the Mu family to glory and dominated the court. Under your wings, we have enjoyed prosperity... When we are at our peak, we will decline. Maybe our Mu family really needs to be silent for a few decades. Years, waiting for the next Qilin'er to be born."

The Bai family is really a big hidden danger, and it's all because of my aunt's lack of care. If I had known that Bai Ansheng was so unfathomable, I should have eradicated him when he was still in his infancy, and there would be no such troubles later.

"Well said, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Mu family, smart and calm. If your father had half the brains you have, my grandfather would not be so distressed. I just hope that my father can keep the ancestral property, and my grandfather will be satisfied."

"My granddaughter also speculated that since the official ascended the throne, he has given preferential treatment to the poor scholars, especially Bai Hanlin, a newcomer who has only been in office for a few years, and was directly promoted to a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. He entered the imperial court to worship the prime minister first. "

 The old prime minister nodded, turned to the housekeeper guarding the door,

"Go to my warehouse and take out the pair of glazed vases, the set of ruby ​​heads and faces, and the two pieces of jadeite to add to Sister Lan's makeup. She will marry the Duke of Zheng in the future, and more things will do the trick. Look better."

But things didn't go as expected. Every time he mentioned his disciples, the officials would frown and say a few perfunctory words, saying that they would examine him carefully for a while to see if he was suitable for such a big job, but nothing more happened after that.

She will get married next month, to the eldest son of Zheng Guogong. She was the wife of the prince when she married. With her grandfather's power in the court, the Zheng and Mu families were well matched. However, if her grandfather retired, the Mu family would be left behind by the Zheng family. It's a big achievement.

Later, he thought over and over again, and there was something else he didn't understand about officials' eagerness to appoint poor families.

 Instead of letting them squander it, it would be better to leave it to her.

 “What do you want to do with your grandfather?”

Mu Zhuolan looked at his grandfather, whispered what he thought of, and then smiled slightly,

The old prime minister looked at the granddaughter in front of him. After being surprised, he became even more regretful, "Sister Lan is so talented. If she were a boy, she would definitely have made great achievements. My grandfather is old and your father and uncle cannot be used in a big way, and there are no outstanding descendants. My grandfather just wants to serve the Mu family. Once it becomes a place, no one can hold it.”

As Mu Zhuolan said this, he also wished his grandfather a blessing.

“My granddaughter also felt the same and asked her grandfather not to blame him.”

Hearing Mu Zhuolan’s reminder, the Prime Minister looked at her and said, “Why do you think Sister Lan is targeting your grandfather?”

Mu Zhuolan was shocked when she heard what her grandfather had given her. She knew that her grandfather had rough jade stones, but she had never seen them before. She didn't expect that her grandfather would be willing to give them to her.

“Your wedding is coming soon, how are you preparing for it?”

 “Why are the officials jealous of the Mu family? Can you guess the reason?”

Because of this, he recommended a trustworthy disciple, hoping that he would look after the Mu family for his support. Wait until the Mu family raises outstanding children, and then try to pull them out.

The old prime minister drooped his eyes because he was in a bad mood. After listening to his granddaughter's remarks, he raised his head directly with surprise in his eyes. Even the eldest son did not notice that the official family was afraid of the Mu family's excessive power. The purdah's granddaughter actually saw through it at a glance.

 “The granddaughter resigned,”

Mu Zhuolan walked out of the study, stood on the corridor and breathed a sigh of relief before returning to his yard calmly.

 That afternoon, the news of the Mu family’s donation of one hundred thousand taels fell into the ears of Emperor Cheng Xuan, and then he curled up his lips with satisfaction. This is only right.
