The eldest princess is so annoying!

Mu Xu ran forward quickly, and held the old woman who was about to walk towards her. Her voice was choked up, and she called, "Grandma Jiang!"

"Eh!"

Granny Jiang's eyes were also wet, she nodded repeatedly, and tightly held the hand supporting her, she just said, Fifth Madam and Seventh Miss are good people, how can good people be short-lived.

Granny Jiang asked several questions in a row, "Miss Seven, where have you been for the past six months?"

"Why didn't you report a letter to the mansion?"

"They all said you were dead, but my old lady just didn't believe it. How could such a good man have a short life for a bad man."

Mu Xu looked at the four Si Yan who were guarding beside her. After all, they were at the gate of the mansion, and there were many people. Although it was not a shameful thing, she didn't want too many people to know, "Grandma Jiang, why don't we Let's go in and talk."

"well."

Granny Jiang took Mu Xu's hand and walked into the mansion, and Ge and Qingqian followed closely behind. Si Yan looked at it but wanted to stop Mu Xu and others.

Unexpectedly, Granny Jiang cursed first, "You're blind too, you don't even know Miss Seven in the mansion."

That Si Yan knew that Granny Jiang had been in the mansion for many years, so what she said would not be false, but she was unwilling to lose face in front of her brothers, and asked: "You say she is Miss Seven, is Miss Seven, do you have any real evidence?" ?!"

Unexpectedly, Granny Jiang didn't like his tricks at all, instead she sarcastically said: "The left and right are just some gatekeepers. They just bark on weekdays, but now they are biting people."

Nasi Yan was annoyed, "Hey, you old woman, why did you insult me?"

"I see, tomorrow I have to go to the west of the city to buy some medicine to cure these animals."

"You damn old woman, I don't think I'll fix you today!" The Si Yan was anxious, picked up a wooden stick from behind the door, and made a gesture to hit Granny Jiang.

Granny Jiang not only pushed Mu Xu away who was standing in front of her, but also stretched out her head provocatively and let the Si Yan beat her.

Before the stick was lifted, it was pushed down by Si Yan next to him.

The older Si Yan smiled flatteringly, "Grandma Jiang, hurry up and go in, it's windy today, don't catch a cold and hurt yourself."

After Granny Jiang and her party entered the mansion, he turned around and scolded: "I think you are also confused, what did you provoke her, but you were scolded a few times, why do you go to war?"

That Si Yan was very unconvinced, "I just can't get used to the virtue of the dead old woman, but she is just a cook, and she actually puts on the master's chart."

The elder Si Yan persuaded him: "Okay, even if she is a cook, she is deeply loved by the master. The master cannot do without her for three meals a day, and you and I are Si Yan. How many relationships have we entrusted to find a wife?" If you get this job and lose it because of it, it will be called a loss."

Granny Jiang has been a cook in the Mu Mansion for almost her whole life. Now that she is old, it is time to go home to take care of her old age, and the new cook is also top-notch. The wives and young masters in the mansion Ladies, they kept praising, but when it got into the master's mouth, they didn't know how to eat it. After three or two meals, they spent a lot of money to invite Granny Jiang back.

How can they provoke such a person? !

Another Si Yan also persuaded: "Whoever asks the master to let her take it, forget it."

Na Si Yan was unwilling, but he couldn't teach him a lesson, so he could only spit at Granny Jiang's back a few times.

After not coming back for half a year, the Mu Mansion is still as lively as when Mu Xu left.

Mu Xu avoided the people he didn't want to meet, and led Qie Ge and others all the way to a courtyard in the west.

And the song looked up, and saw two big characters engraved on the door plaque - Liyuan.

The door plaque has been washed away by rain all year round, and the original black paint has long since peeled off. Upon closer inspection, there are ink marks on the door plaque, which presumably were painted with ink later. The wooden door is already dilapidated, and the inside can be vaguely seen through the cracks The scene, lightly pushed, and then there was a creaking sound.

Mu Xu thought that she had been away from home for a long time, and the yard must be extremely messy, but when she entered, she found that it was not what she imagined. The tables and chairs had not been removed, and the flowers raised by her mother were still there. The original location was spotless, as if someone came to clean it every day.

Mu Xu looked questioningly at Granny Jiang, hoping she could give her an answer.

"I don't know when you will come back, Miss Seven. I thought that if you come back someday, I will have a clean place to live. The old man has nothing to do except work in the kitchen for a while, so I came to clean the house. Sweep." Granny Jiang looked at Mu Xu with love in her eyes, and said: "The old man is old, and he is also an old bone, so it is good to exercise more."

Mu Xu knew that Granny Jiang said this because she was afraid of her self-blame, and seeing her silvery head and wrinkled face, she felt mixed feelings for a moment.

Granny Jiang held Mu Xu's hand and asked, "Miss Seven, where have you been for the past six months?"

There are a lot of things to talk about when we meet again, and Ge knows that it is inconvenient for her to be here, so he doesn't bother her to talk about the old days, and wanders around the courtyard with Qingqian.

Although the courtyard is small, there are a lot of flowers, everywhere they go, some flowers have not even been seen before, but it can be seen that Mu Xu's love for flowers extends to his mother Shen Xiaoxiao.

On the west side of the yard, the frame is covered with long vines, intertwined with each other. There are three or two tables and chairs under the vines, and there is a dry pond next to it. There is a wooden bridge above it, which can lead to the other bank. There was no one to take care of it, and what was originally planted has been turned into nutrients and melted into the soil.

In the hot summer afternoon, it is also fun to make a pot of tea, sit under the vine, and tease the fish.

Qie Ge stood on the wooden bridge, looked up, compared with the surrounding pavilions, this pear courtyard seemed out of place.

"Master, why is there a camphor tree here?" Qingqian asked standing under the tall camphor tree.

And when the song heard the sound approaching, the green leaves covered the branches, and the thick and strong branches spread to the outside of the wall. This camphor tree is quite old.

And Ge recalled the news again, and couldn't help laughing, wondering if Shen Xiaoxiao hadn't passed away, and Mu Xu hadn't left home, would the matchmaker smooth the cobbled floor at the entrance of the pear courtyard.

Qingqian doesn't know why Jige is laughing, just waiting for her answer.

He sang and said with a smile: "It is said that if a big family in the south of the Yangtze River has a daughter, they will plant a camphor tree in the courtyard. When the daughter grows up, the camphor tree will grow up and rise above the courtyard wall. The matchmakers who come and go If you look at the crown of the tree from a distance, you will know that there is a woman of the right age waiting in the boudoir, so you will find a suitable family to propose marriage."

Qingqian nodded, so that's the case, the yard is small, she can't even move her hands and feet, for fear of accidentally bumping into something, and planting a camphor tree, it's not even more in the way.

"And when a girl gets married, her mother's family will cut down the camphor tree and make two big boxes to hold the silk as a dowry."

"Why silk?"

He sang with a chuckle, "Two boxes of silk means "two boxes of silk together"."

Qingqian also became interested, usually what His Highness said was beyond her comprehension, but today she could hardly understand, "That's why, what about the man?"

"If a man is born, a zelkova will be planted on the stone at the door."

Qingqian lowered her brows and pondered for a while, then asked: "Does it mean to win?"

Qie Ge nodded, "That's right, the hard stone beech species means "examination in the exam"."

Qingqian thought it was funny, she could understand the camphor tree, but the beech tree, if you plant a beech tree, you will be able to go to high school, so why bother to study hard for ten years, just plant that beech tree.

With Ge and Qingqian gone, Mu Xu let go a lot. Whatever Grandma Jiang asked, she answered whatever she asked, but the fact that she was already a son-in-law was hidden in it. Granny Jiang heard that she was crying, It took a long time before it gradually stopped.

Mu Xu wiped away the tears from Granny Jiang's face with a handkerchief, and heard Granny Jiang say, "Then why didn't the Jiang family boy come back with Miss Seven?"

Thinking of Jiang Huaisheng, Mu Xu's eyes dimmed, "He...he..."

She hesitated to speak, but in Granny Jiang's view, she understood something else.

"But he betrayed Seventh Miss?" Grandma Jiang said angrily, "Hmph, I told Fifth Madam earlier that the Jiang family boy is not a quiet person. Although my old lady doesn't know much about officialdom, she is also in this mansion." After staying for nearly a lifetime, the servants in the mansion will follow others for their own benefit, let alone him."

"No, Granny Jiang, you misunderstood, Huaisheng is not such a person, don't say that about him."

Granny Jiang sighed, both helpless and distressed, "Miss Seven, he has betrayed you, why are you protecting him like this, if he appears in front of my old lady today, even if I give up my old life, I will die." Help you teach him a lesson!"

Fearing that Mu Xu would be sad again, Granny Jiang said again: "Tomorrow, I will go to the best matchmaker in Suzhou and ask her to make a good marriage for you. The husband of our seventh lady must be a hundred times stronger than him." !"

Mu Xu explained: "Grandma Jiang, you really misunderstood, Huaisheng did not blame me."

Instead, she failed Jiang Huaisheng.

Grandma Jiang was stunned, Jiang Huaisheng did not disappoint Miss Seven, "Then why didn't he come back with Miss Seven?"

In front of Granny Jiang who really cared about her, Mu Xu didn't have to pretend any more, and couldn't bear to lie to her, "The imperial examination will be held in a few days."

This ambiguous answer successfully misunderstood Granny Jiang, she nodded, "Yes, if you come back with Miss Seven, it will definitely delay his study." She said that just now, as if she was trying to provoke the relationship between Mu Xu and Jiang Huaisheng , and said again: "I'm getting older, my wife's words are not serious or serious, Miss Seven, don't blame me."

Mu Xu held Granny Jiang's hand, "How could it be? Except for my mother, Grandma Jiang treated me the best and treated me like a granddaughter. How could Mu Xu blame Granny Jiang?"

Granny Jiang patted Mu Xu's hand, and the love in her eyes only increased. After the Fifth Madam left, only Miss Seven was left. It got worse, and she was even more taunting and mean to Miss Seven, and there was no room for her to find a good husband, I was afraid that she would marry someone who was blind, lame, and sick.

Although the Jiang family boy is good, it's just that what he intends runs counter to the stability that Miss Seven is looking for. To Miss Seven, it doesn't matter if he hits the mark or not, it's just whether he has the superficial beauty or not.

"Miss Seven, forgive me for asking too much, but have you really thought about it?"

"If the boy from the Jiang family is really in high school, in the future... he will inevitably take concubines, and fights in the mansion will be inevitable." Granny Jiang sighed softly. In the officialdom, if she wants to climb up, getting married is indispensable. What's more, the Jiang family has no power at all.

Mu Xu didn't answer Granny Jiang's words. She knew very well in her heart that it was impossible for her and Jiang Huaisheng.

Mu Xu smiled lightly, and when she raised her head, she saw Qiege not far away looking up at the camphor tree, with three thousand black hairs sticking to her back, the leaves rustling when the breeze blew by, and the hair on her head The blue silk is also fluttering and swaying with the wind...
